Ye Cheng told Ye Guowei, and then transferred 3,500 yuan to Wang Defa. 500 yuan was for today's boat rental fee, and 3,000 yuan was the deposit for buying the boat.
In a couple of days, we'll go through the registration process, and then the boat will belong to Ye Cheng.
Wang Defa felt relieved upon receiving the money and casually pointed to the boat, "How was the harvest today, second brother?"
"I only got some oysters, nothing else," Ye Cheng said casually.
I didn't lie, I didn't tell a single lie, it really was just oysters.
“Oysters are good too. Come on, let your second uncle help you carry them down.” Wang Defa rarely offered to help so readily, so Ye Cheng went along with him.
When he got on the boat, he was stunned.
Pointing to the mountain of oysters, he said, "This is what you call 'a little bit'? This is a mountain!"
"There are a lot, but it's really just oysters. Uncle, didn't you say you'd help us carry them down? Hurry up and get started."
Looking at the mountain of oysters, Wang Defa suddenly felt that the price of 33,000 yuan was too low, and he was filled with regret.
"Second brother, can we negotiate the price? Look at all these oysters you've bought, several thousand yuan worth... you..."
Before Ye Cheng could speak, Ye Guowei spoke first, saying with a displeased expression, "Second Uncle, our Cheng has already paid the deposit, and the boat rental fee for today has also been paid. You can't just raise the price at the last minute because our harvest is good."
Wang Defa was speechless and could only leave angrily, refusing to help anymore.
Ye Cheng shook his head helplessly; Wang Defa just valued money too much.
He left, and the three of them didn't pay any attention, and started carrying oysters out basket by basket.
The basket was borrowed from the dock; they gave me two cigarettes in return. There are plenty of these things at the dock.
As so many oysters were unloaded, several fishmongers gathered around and began examining them.
"Ladies and gentlemen, these are all top-quality oysters, fresh and plump, absolutely top-grade."
Ye Cheng pried one open and showed it to everyone; the meat was indeed excellent, plump and juicy.
"What price? Name your price, second brother."
"Yes, name your price, and we'll all buy it together."
Several interested people started asking about the price.
Ye Cheng looked at the sizes and said, "The big ones are 5 yuan, and the small ones are 3 yuan. What do you all think?"
The group looked at each other, and finally, Boss Li stepped forward.
“You have too many. Give us a wholesale price, and we'll reduce the price by one dollar per piece. We'll buy them all for you. Otherwise, it will be a hassle for you to transport them out.”
To be honest, the price was a bit of a rip-off, but looking at such a small mountain, Ye Cheng really didn't want to move it anymore. He'd just consider it their moving fee.
"Okay, this price is fine."
In the end, the three bosses divided the oysters among themselves: 800 large ones and 2,300 small ones, for a total of 7,800 yuan.
After deducting the 500 yuan boat rental fee, each person received 2400 yuan.
It's no wonder Wang Defa was unhappy. Each person made 7,800 yuan per trip, and his boat didn't even earn as much as the others did after several trips.
After selling the oysters, Ye Cheng carried the giant sea turtle back home; now it could be considered his ancestor.
"Brother, you and I seem to have a special connection, how about I give you a name?"
The giant sea turtle looked at Ye Cheng with a blank expression, not knowing what he was going to do.
Ye Cheng looked at the sea turtle, then pondered for a moment.
"You're all yellowish, so from now on I'll call you Big Yellow, okay?"
Xiao Hu, who was standing nearby, almost burst out laughing when he heard this. "Brother, Da Huang is a dog, okay?"
"Who says that Dahuang must be a dog? Anything yellow can be called Dahuang."
"Right, Big Yellow? I'll get you something to eat when we get back. We're going to eat small fish; I bought you a whole bag of them, all alive!"
At the dock earlier, Ye Cheng casually bought some miscellaneous fish and shrimp; these things weren't worth much.
Dahuang wasn't interested in his new name, but he was more interested in what Ye Cheng said about the little fish and shrimp.
After returning home, Ye Cheng settled it in and then got busy with his own things.
He has a meeting tonight, a meeting of the crayfish alliance.
There was no other way; everyone's desire was so strong that it couldn't be suppressed without taking action.
Ye Chengdu hadn't eaten dinner yet when this group of people arrived. Luckily, Jiang Yunxiang knew he was coming back late, so she brought him a meal.
Ye Cheng took a couple of bites and then started a meeting with a group of people.
The people who came were all acquaintances: Widow Zhang, the two Chen brothers, Jiang Yunxiang, and Aunt Qian, a total of 5 people, filling the room to capacity.
Ye Cheng was too lazy to make tea or anything, so he gave everyone a bottle of soda and then they started.
"Aunties, and brothers."
After saying that, Ye Cheng himself felt it was strange; what kind of opening was that?
"Well then, Aunt Zhang, tell us about the crayfish sales these past few days," Ye Cheng said, pointing to Widow Zhang.
When her name was called, Widow Zhang's face flushed red, and she was a little excited.
She stood up, about to speak, when Ye Cheng pressed her down with his hand. "It's not like it's some big meeting or speech, Auntie. Sit down and talk."
Widow Zhang sat down awkwardly and continued, "I've been going to the city to sell crayfish these past few days. Right at the entrance of the market, they're very popular and sell very well."
At this point, Widow Zhang smiled broadly, "If Acheng hadn't said that each person could only sell 2 jin, I estimate that it would have been sold out in no time."
Hearing that the products were selling so well, everyone cheered. After all, if Widow Zhang could make money, so could they.
"It's selling so well! Then let's sell more!"
"That's right, that's right, Cheng, hurry up and get more!"
Ye Cheng's face darkened and he didn't speak. He glanced at the aunts, and seeing their unfriendly looks, they quickly shut their mouths.
It's not that Ye Cheng was going to curse, but that he had to act that way.
They need to know that they are in charge of this matter. If things go awry at the beginning, it will be difficult to manage them later.
"Aunt Zhang, how many kilograms have you sold these past few days?" Ye Cheng asked the widow Zhang in a calm tone.
As soon as Ye Cheng lowered his voice, Aunt Zhang became nervous and dared not say anything rash, only muttering,
“I sold for four days. On the first day, I sold 40 jin (20 catties), and on the next day I sold 20 jin (10 catties) each time.”
Ye Cheng nodded and looked at the Chen brothers, "How are you receiving the goods? Is it going well? Why are there fewer goods later?"
The atmosphere calmed down, and Chen Zhangfu didn't dare to break the ice. He said seriously, "Brother Cheng, we just randomly arrested people on the first day, but we arrested fewer people in the following days."
Ye Cheng listened for a moment, and realized that these two had been caught by himself.
"Didn't I tell you to go to each village to collect them? How many can you two catch on your own?"
Chen Zhangfu scratched his head. "Brother Cheng, we just wanted to catch them ourselves so we could earn more."
"Make more money my ass! Do you know what win-win cooperation means? Do you know that you can only make money by helping others make money?"
Ye Cheng gave a light reprimand, then continued, "If it were up to you, I wouldn't need to teach you how to make money from crayfish; you could just do it yourselves."
After Ye Cheng said this, everyone fell silent.
