Chen Jinhai is now in a real bind. Damn it, when he was talking about making money, everyone was begging him to give them money.
Okay, it's just that the first net wasn't set up properly, but we've made it through.
"Alright! Stop arguing!" Chen Jinhai shouted, instantly silencing everyone's commotion. After all, he had been the village chief for a long time and still held some prestige.
Once everyone had fallen silent, Chen Jinhai stood up and then politely said,
“I know you’re all anxious, but this is only the first day. Things will get better. If you’re really worried, we’ll refund your money. Don’t regret it when you’ve made some money.”
Upon hearing Chen Jinhai say he wanted to refund the money, the group immediately fell silent.
I invested my money with the intention of making a profit.
If we cancel, what if there are hundreds of thousands of people on the next ship?
Isn't that exactly what Ye Cheng is like?
Chen Jinhai had now seized everyone's weakness. Although they were anxious, they absolutely refused to get their money back.
"Well, Jin Hai, we're not saying we absolutely have to refund the money, we just wanted to say something, everyone's just concerned," the old men said awkwardly.
"I understand how everyone feels. I already mentioned blonde this morning, and he said it would definitely go viral online today."
Hearing Chen Jinhai's empty promise, although everyone knew it was just a casual remark, they felt much more at ease.
Just as Chen Jinhai was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he heard a woman call out from outside the door.
"With such high wages for working at sea, shouldn't everyone take turns going?"
Chen Jinhai stood on tiptoe to take a look, but still couldn't tell whose wife she was.
What are you yelling about for no reason?
However, once someone shouted the first word, others naturally followed suit, and loud discussions began outside the door.
"Yeah, 500 yuan a night? I'd take it."
"It's just tying up crabs, anyone can do that."
"Golden man earns 1,000 yuan a month to drive a boat, that's too high. My husband can drive a boat too."
Chen Jinhai looked very unhappy. He was now regretting agreeing to such a high wage, which had made everyone envious.
"Everyone, what we need to do now is increase production as quickly as possible, so let's not worry about these things for now," Chen Jinhai said helplessly.
"That's not true, Jin Hai. Everyone is struggling financially, so why should those few companies be allowed to make money?"
"Yeah, nobody's rich. 500 yuan a night is enough to sleep with a girl, don't you think?"
"Pah! 500 is not just for one girl. I can get a hair wash for only 30 yuan near the train station."
"Well, you've been there quite a few times, haven't you? Go back and tell your wife."
"I didn't go there. Don't talk nonsense. I was just passing by. That's when they quoted me the price."
A group of people started talking all at once, and eventually their conversation drifted off-topic, all talking about how pretty girls were from different places.
Chen Houda couldn't listen anymore. He coughed heavily twice, then tapped the table.
"Alright, enough talk, let's get down to business."
"Hey Jin Hai, this boat was bought with everyone's money, so it's normal for everyone to contribute their efforts, right? How about we take turns getting on the boat?"
"Yes, yes, everyone takes turns, everyone has to contribute, right?"
Chen Jinhai maintained his unpleasant smile, but inwardly he was cursing.
They didn't put in any effort; they just wanted to take advantage of the situation and make a quick buck.
He didn't want to change the personnel, as some of them were close to him in the past, but with so many people blocking his way, he had no choice but to compromise.
Finally, everyone discussed and decided that they would take turns going up.
However, Chen Jinhai insisted that Chen Jinfa take the boat, saying that he had gone out to sea yesterday and was familiar with the area. The others didn't have much of an objection, since they could take the job of tying up crabs, which was fine.
That evening, we were supposed to continue sailing, but because the weather forecast predicted a storm at sea, no one went out to sea from the entire dock.
Ye Cheng was happy to get a night's rest, and he ate dinner at his older brother's house.
If he didn't go soon, the two of them would nag him to death. During the meal, Ye Guowei talked about the current breeding situation, which could be summarized in a few words: the growth is good.
Speaking of the good growth, Ye Cheng then remembered the points.
Now that I have over 10,000 points, it's time to upgrade my breeding system.
He opened the system, clicked on the [Basic Breeding Bonus] skill, and clicked to upgrade. Instantly, a burst of brilliant light flashed.
[Congratulations, host, you have received an intermediate-level breeding bonus. Breeding speed increased by 40%, and yield increased by 150%.]
The speed increase might not be noticeable, but the 50% increase in yield is quite alarming. I estimate that by harvest time, my brother will be exhausted.
The only problem is that the points are in a sorry state now, with only 800 points left. That's enough to buy some deworming medicine for Duan Yong and the others.
When Duan Yong and the others were mentioned, Ye Cheng realized that he hadn't seen them in a long time.
And then there's the fact that I brought Aunt Qian and Widow Zhang to work on the boat. Are the crayfish spoiled too? Damn it, there's just too much to do. One person can't possibly manage it all.
No wonder even someone as brilliant as Prime Minister Zhuge Liang was exhausted back then.
It's best to do things yourself less often; you can't possibly light a seven-star lamp to prolong your life.
After catching up on a good night's sleep, Ye Cheng called Duan Yong and Yuan Jiansheng the next day to ask to check on the crayfish farming situation.
The two young men, disheveled and dirty, were waiting in the seedling room, leaving Ye Cheng speechless.
Are you doing this on purpose or something? Are you trying to show me how hard you've worked?
Also, you're in the aquaculture business, not scientific research, so there's no need for you to emulate Einstein.
When Ye Cheng arrived, the two looked at him with expectant expressions.
"Brother Cheng, our first batch of crayfish has already sprouted."
"Huh? So fast?" Ye Cheng was surprised. Had he not been here for so many days?
Seeing Ye Cheng's surprised expression, the two chuckled and pulled him into the seedling room to take a look.
Ye Cheng was almost startled when he entered the seedling room.
He remembered that when he came before, it was empty. Then two pools were put into use. Now, how come all the pools are full of water? They've all been put into use now.
He went over and saw that the pond was full of crayfish of all sizes.
The smallest are the size of a millet grain, while the largest have reached 2 centimeters.
It is clear that a complete production chain has been formed.
"You guys are amazing!" Ye Cheng said with delight. "Will we be able to go down into the pool outside soon?"
The two men gave Ye Cheng a mysterious smile, but remained silent.
Ye Cheng asked curiously, "What do you mean? Does it mean it's already downloaded?"
"Yes, Brother Cheng, we'll take you there."
With that, the two of them led Ye Cheng out.
Ye Cheng knew that the pond had been mostly dug before, but now, looking at it, he saw that not only was the pond filled with water, but also a lot of aquatic plants had been planted in it.
