Ye Chengxian took out 7,000 yuan. "Brother, this is the money from yesterday's bird's nest sales, 7,000 yuan per person."
"So much? You didn't use your own money to cover it, did you?"
"Brother, we made 20,000 yuan from the sale. Why should I pay for it? Here, sister-in-law, here's the money for you."
Jiang Yunxiang smiled and accepted the money. 7,000 yuan! Another big sum of money.
After a few rounds of drinks, Ye Cheng suddenly put down his glass, looked at Ye Guowei and Jiang Yunxiang, and said...
"Brother, sister-in-law, I have a suggestion, I wonder what you think?"
Seeing Ye Cheng speaking so formally, the two put down their chopsticks and bowls.
"We're family, so just say what you want to say."
"Yes, Cheng, are you thinking about finding a wife? Your sister-in-law will go and arrange something for you."
Ye Cheng quickly stopped himself, "It's not my own business. I want to take over a piece of mudflats and let you and your wife take care of it. We'll split the income 70/30, with you getting 70% and me getting 30%."
"Contracting mudflats?" Ye Guowei frowned. "So you mean aquaculture, right?"
“Ah Cheng, it costs a hundred a year to contract the mudflats, so ten acres would cost a thousand. There are also seedlings and maintenance costs, so the investment is too big.” Jiang Yunxiang also knew a little about it.
“Sister-in-law, money is not a problem, I will pay. Aquaculture is a long-term business, and if my brother stays home to raise livestock, he won’t have to do hard labor at the docks every day. He can’t do it for many more years.”
As Ye Cheng spoke, he looked at Ye Guowei. This kind of manual labor could actually be done until the age of 50 without any problem, but the physical burden would be very heavy after that.
He hoped that Ye Guowei could get out of this industry as soon as possible.
Although mudflat aquaculture is tiring, it offers more free time and won't exhaust you.
In addition, as long as the funding is sufficient, it can be completely transformed into marine aquaculture, which is not a problem.
When Jiang Yunxiang heard that she wouldn't have to do manual labor, she immediately shut her mouth. She didn't want her husband to do that all day.
“Brother, if you run a farm, you won’t have to deal with many people. And when DouDou talks about it later, she’ll say that her dad is a farm manager who runs a farm, which is better than saying that he’s a porter.”
"Right, Dou Dou?" Ye Cheng looked at his little nephew.
DouDou nodded in agreement, "Yes, 'farm manager' sounds nice."
Ye Guowei pursed his lips and looked at his wife, Jiang Yunxiang, who quickly nodded, "If raising them is good, consider it learning a skill. Besides, it's right here in our village, so I can help out."
“Contracting the mudflats is fine too. We’ll be partners, and we’ll split the profits 50/50.” Ye Guowei started calculating the profit sharing again.
"Brother, this is mainly for you and sister-in-law to handle. I won't participate in the operation or management. To put it bluntly, I'm just a shareholder, an investor. There's no reason for a shareholder to take so much. Let's make it 30/70, you take 70% and I'll take 30%."
Seeing Ye Cheng's firm attitude, Ye Guowei remained silent.
After a long silence, Ye Guowei finally spoke, "Tomorrow I'll quit my job and then go talk to the village chief about the contract."
"No, brother, you'll definitely get ripped off if you go like this. I'll go with you. I want to go out to sea again tomorrow. You're going to quit your job anyway, so why don't you come with us tomorrow and help us drive the boat?"
"Okay, let's do it your way."
After Ye Guowei finished speaking, Jiang Yunxiang changed the subject and brought up the topic of crayfish.
They said that Widow Zhang made several hundred yuan more yesterday, and several old women were getting anxious, so they went to Jiang Yunxiang hoping to get it done together as soon as possible.
Ye Cheng didn't care, but a major problem with crayfish was the supply.
Wild is wild, and there are two problems: one is safety, and the other is insufficient supply.
If you really want to scale up this business, there are two paths: one is to buy wild animals, and the other is to breed them yourself.
For now, farming is probably the only option.
“Sister-in-law, how about this: when I have some free time, let’s invite a few of the aunties and the two Chen brothers over so we can discuss it.”
Hearing Ye Cheng say that they should discuss it together, Jiang Yunxiang happily agreed, at least she could give an explanation to the older women.
After talking with his older brother and sister-in-law, Ye Cheng went to Xiao Hu's place before going back to ask about Wang Defa's sale of the boat.
Wang Defa asked for 40,000 yuan. This guy must be desperate for money.
A new wooden boat only costs 120,000 yuan, but he has used this boat for more than ten years and still wants to sell it for such a high price.
Ye Cheng ignored him and decided to deal with him later.
As for setting sail tomorrow, Ye Cheng still needs to check the luck value given by the system; if it's too low, setting sail will just be a waste of money.
The next morning, Ye Cheng got up very early.
Luck value: 60+20
integral:
Deposits: 170,000 yuan, foreign debt: 40,000 yuan, mortgage: 300,000 yuan (including interest).
Not bad, going out to sea!
Ye Cheng called Xiao Hu to rent a boat, then packed some breakfast and headed out.
We're not climbing through the tunnel today, so we don't need to bring a ladder; it's more convenient.
After calling his elder brother, the three of them rushed to the dock, where Wang Defa was already sitting and waiting.
"Second Uncle, you can just give the key to Xiaohu, why do you need to come over here yourself?"
Ye Cheng teased the old man, saying that judging from his appearance, Xiao Hu must have been tempted by the idea of buying a boat yesterday.
Wang Defa chuckled and handed the keys to Ye Cheng. "Second brother, look, isn't it more convenient to have a boat? You can just buy this boat from your second uncle; it'll save you the cost of renting it."
Ye Cheng took the keys and said, "Second Uncle, I do want to buy it, but it's too expensive. Can you give me a discount? I'll buy it right away."
Wang Defa chuckled, "Second brother, it's only 40,000. Look how well I've maintained this boat. You can have a boat for 40,000 yuan. It's a great deal."
"What's so great about it? It's been over ten years, everything's broken by now, I don't even know how many more years it can last."
"Well, I still have my license plate, but they're not issuing license plates anymore," Wang De said anxiously.
"I'm just using it as a means of transportation. If the license plate isn't acceptable, you can take it back and keep it at home."
Ye Cheng's words left Wang Defa speechless. The boat itself might only cost a little over ten thousand, but with the license plate, it would be much more valuable.
Well, now Ye Cheng says he doesn't care about the license at all. Isn't that just a joke?
"Then name your price, I'll hear it." Wang Defa shuffled forward, standing on the boat and refusing to get off, wanting Ye Cheng to give him an offer.
"20,000 yuan, they're all from the same village, I'm offering a high price."
Wang Defa's face was as black as charcoal. He asked for 40,000, and you bargained him down to 20,000, as if you were buying clothes.
"Second brother, add some more, your price is too low." Wang Defa still became persistent and clingy.
"Uncle, name your price. Be straightforward and give us a fair price. We're going out to sea, and we've chartered this boat for today. You're just wasting our time by standing here."
