Ye Qingling didn't continue to expose his shortcomings, but instead asked, "How much money is in here exactly?"
"Originally, it was a lump sum. I gave each of the older brothers a commission of 784 yuan, plus a 50 yuan red envelope, and 10 yuan red envelopes to each of the six boatmen on the Harvest. The rest is all here."
"Why are they giving red envelopes to the crew of the Harvest? Even if they were to give them, shouldn't it be Uncle Jun who does it?"
"I don't care whether Uncle Jun gives it or not, but this is our way of showing our appreciation, since they helped with the work for three or four hours."
Besides, this amount of money is nothing to us; consider it a treat for everyone to have drinks.
"That's true, this amount of money is really nothing to us."
Ye Qingling nodded slightly, then sighed, "Thinking back to the past, let alone ten thousand yuan, even a thousand yuan would have been an astronomical figure for me."
I worked hard for a year or two and only managed to save a few hundred yuan.
Now look at them, they have hundreds of thousands in their hands, without even blinking an eye.
Upon hearing this, Feng Ye immediately felt somewhat embarrassed.
He coughed twice: "Well... what's a few hundred thousand? I'll earn you hundreds of thousands, even millions in the future."
"Keep bragging. Do you think money grows on trees?"
"This is no exaggeration. Just think about how much we have now, hundreds of thousands, right?"
Ye Qingling silently did the math and found that she actually had quite a lot of money.
However, most of them are fixed assets.
Since there are no dividends from the workshop's output and overseas profits for the time being, the cash balance is not large.
"However, we also have a lot of foreign debt. The final payment for the Ziqi ship and the fresh seafood ship is 400,000 yuan, and we will take half of that, which is 200,000 yuan."
"Don't keep thinking about the debt. Boats are for making money. The more boats you have, the faster you can make money."
Feng Ye said with great confidence, "By the end of the year, we'll have the Ziqi and the seafood collection ship. With three ships at sea, we can easily earn a million or so a year."
"Blow, keep blowing, I'm listening."
Ye Qingling looked at him with a smile.
Even so, she actually believed he could do it.
I've had the Dongsheng for a month and a half, and it's only been out to sea three times, but I've already earned 300,000 yuan.
Aside from the highly unpredictable hairy catfish, there's also the hugely successful catching of the pufferfish in this super-large net, which has earned over 100,000 yuan in the past month and a half.
This is just the harvest from one ship.
If you add the Purple Aura ship and the fresh seafood ship, earning a million a year is really not a dream.
"You really shouldn't disbelieve me, just wait and see."
Feng Ye asked confidently, "By the way, how much money does the workshop have right now?"
"Around 50,000 yuan."
Ye Qingling said, "The majority of the profits come from dried squid, but not all of it is sold to us."
I've discussed it with my sister-in-law, Uncle Ling, and Aunt Ling, and we think we should also buy some fish from other people to sell, so they can recoup their costs and have money to buy fish to dry.
"Yes, that's the way to do it. You've thought this through very well."
Feng Ye nodded, then frowned again. "It really isn't enough."
"What's not enough? Money? What do you want to do now?"
"What else can we do? Buy a boat."
"Why do you need to buy another boat? Didn't you just buy a cargo ship for collecting seafood?"
Ye Qingling panicked, her eyes wide: "Good heavens, you're already 40% in debt, and you still want to buy a boat? Don't you think the pressure isn't enough?"
"The ship will have to be sold sooner or later, and it's cheaper to sell it now..."
Feng Ye repeated the same story he had used to persuade Feng Xuan and A Can.
After listening, Ye Qingling frowned and remained silent.
After a long while, she said quietly, "Buy it. Anyway, more debts don't weigh you down, and more lice don't bite. We're still short..."
Suddenly, she remembered something and looked up sharply, saying, "That's not right, there's something in this bag... Tell me again about the commission and red envelopes you sent out, and I'll calculate it."
As she spoke, she opened the drawer and took out paper and a pen.
As Feng Ye spoke, Ye Qingling scribbled on the paper and quickly came up with a number.
"This bag contains a total of [amount], plus the money from the previous two voyages, so you have a total of..."
She pulled the ledger out of her handbag and calculated: "There are a total of [amount], enough to order two large ships. Why do we still need money from the workshop?"
"We discussed it and decided to order three ships at once."
"What, three ships?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Qingling instantly flew into a rage.
Feng Ye quickly pressed her down: "Don't rush, think carefully about what I just said."
Ye Qingling stared at him for a while before taking a deep breath to calm herself down.
"Can't we take it one step at a time? Can't we be more realistic? Ordering three ships at once is too much pressure. Are you trying to fly to the moon?"
"Pressure is what drives motivation."
Feng Ye chuckled and said, "Don't worry at all. We'll place the order tomorrow. The ship won't be delivered until the end of next year at the earliest. With that much time, we'll definitely be able to earn the final payment."
"Yes, it's been that long, and I believe you've made the money. But what if something goes wrong during this time?"
Ye Qingling was still worried.
"What could possibly go wrong? Don't worry unnecessarily."
Feng Ye didn't take it seriously. "Alright, it's settled then. The workshop will contribute over 40,000 yuan to make up the 250,000 yuan. We can then talk to the shipyard and order three ships."
Ye Qingling opened her mouth, but in the end only uttered two words: "Okay."
"That's more like it. Come on, give me a kiss."
Feng Ye smiled and leaned over to kiss her on the cheek.
Ye Qingling blushed and pushed him away: "Stop fooling around..."
"What's all this fuss about? As the ancients said, a moment of bliss on a spring night is worth a thousand pieces of gold..."
