After finishing the measurement, Jiang Wanyue returned to the brigade headquarters.
Zhao Xiangbei was sitting in the office writing and drawing. When he saw her come in, he immediately stood up and greeted her, "Sister Jiang."
As he spoke, he handed over the account book. "My brother and I sorted out the accounts. All the money from the last fish sale belongs to our fish farm. We went to the provincial capital to repair the diesel engine, and the travel expenses were paid by the brigade. The fish pond was temporarily leased for one year, and the rent was calculated at 10 yuan per pond per year. The fish farm owed 70 yuan in rent. In addition, the fish pond rented by the brigade had fish. The fish farm has two ways to repay. The first is to pay per person, one yuan per adult and fifty cents per child. The second method is to distribute the fish at the end of the year. That is, if our fish cannot be sold, we will distribute it to the villagers..."
Jiang Wanyue nodded.
In order to support her, the team leader and the branch secretary even thought of a way out for her.
She asked, "How much money do we have in our account now?"
"I made a total of 470 yuan from selling fish last time. I spent 154 yuan on buying fish fry and travel expenses, and 32 yuan on buying fishing nets. I still have 284 yuan left in my account." Zhao Xiangbei asked, "Did you pay the rent first?"
“No hurry.”
Jiang Wanyue was thinking.
The fish farm’s current assets consist of seven fish ponds, a fishing net, three employees, and about two hundred yuan. Apart from that, there is nothing else.
Such a small amount of money must be spent wisely.
She paused and said, "Last time, the brigade gave out work points and asked the villagers to help fish. Since the income belongs to the fishery, we have to pay those people wages, which is 30 cents a day."
Xiaojing Brigade was poor and work points were worthless. Even if one earned ten work points a day, it would only be a little over 20 cents in RMB. 30 cents a day was a very fair price.
As he was speaking, a head suddenly popped in from the office door.
Jiang Wanyue looked up and smiled: "Lin Jin, it seems that you have thought it through."
Lin Jin walked in and took a look. There were only two chairs. He deliberately said, "It seems that you didn't prepare for me to come. You didn't even prepare a chair for me."
"It's just a small matter, how can I trouble Sister Jiang?" Zhao Xiangbei ran out and came back with a chair. "Come on, Lin Zhiqing, sit down."
Jiang Wanyue stood up and said, "Let me introduce you two to each other. This is the accountant of the fishery, Zhao Xiangbei, and this is our salesperson, Lin Jin. Currently, there are only three of us employees in the fishery. The fishery is in its initial stage, and everything is difficult at the beginning. I hope we will not be afraid of difficulties and work together to make the fishery bigger and stronger!"
Her words were so passionate that even Lin Jin was touched.
The three of them sat down around the desk.
Jiang Wanyue took out a new notebook and a ballpoint pen and gave them to Lin Jin.
"This is the first time the three of us have met, and it's also the first meeting of the fishery. Before the fishery gets on track, the three of us have to take care of other things in addition to our own jobs." She cleared her throat and said seriously, "Fish ponds are our most important means of production. Let's talk about fish pond management first. There are seven fish ponds in total. The three of us will each manage two fish ponds nearby. As the general manager, I will be responsible for one more fish pond..."
"As the only male comrade, I should be responsible for the three fish ponds." Zhao Xiangbei interrupted her, "Jiang Jie can do more important things."
Jiang Wanyue did not refuse and continued, "In the past, the brigade arranged people to cut grass and feed the fish in the fish ponds. There was no fixed location and quantity. As a result, you have seen that due to insufficient nutrition, each acre of fish pond can only produce about 200 kilograms of fish. In the provincial capital fishery, one acre of land can raise at least 800 to 1,000 kilograms of fish. Therefore, we must first change the extensive breeding model."
She opened the pamphlet she had copied from the provincial fishery and said, "In addition to fish grass, we should also add wheat bran or rice bran, so that grass carp can grow faster. Do you have any better suggestions?"
Lin Jin said, "Since others already have experience, I think we can follow their experience first, and then we can slowly adjust in the middle."
Zhao Xiangbei nodded: "I don't understand these, I will listen to you."
"Now, our biggest task is to purchase fish food. The first is fish grass, and the second is wheat bran and rice bran. The two are mixed in a ratio of 3:7." Jiang Wanyue wrote and drew on the paper. "The fish grass can be cut by the children and the elderly in the team in their spare time. The purchase rate is 1 cent for 10 catties, and the daily amount is controlled within about 4,000 catties. Otherwise, the grass is not fresh and it will affect the fish's nutritional intake. Wheat bran and rice bran are purchased at 4 cents per catty. More than 10,000 catties of fish can eat about 150 catties a day. These can be stored for a long time, and there is no upper limit on the purchase. Of course, if there is not enough money in the account, we can wait a while."
Zhao Xiangbei immediately calculated the cost: "In this way, we have to spend four yuan every day to buy fish grass and six yuan for wheat bran, which means the daily expenditure is at least ten yuan. The money in our account is not enough to last for a month."
"So..." Jiang Wanyue looked at Lin Jin, "Your job is very important. If we can't sell the fish within a month, our fishery will be closed."
Lin Jin suddenly felt a great deal of pressure, but at the same time, he also became more motivated: "One month is enough. Don't worry, I won't let the fishery close down."
"In the initial stage, I will work with you to develop the market." Jiang Wanyue closed the notebook. "Now, Lin Jin, you find a way to buy a map of the entire province, and first study carefully who to sell these fish to and how to sell them... Xiangbei, you go and notify the purchase of fish grass and wheat bran, and officially start the purchase tomorrow morning."
Zhao Xiangbei was about to go out, but turned back and asked: "By the way, where do you buy the grain? Where do you put it?"
This question really caught Jiang Wanyue's attention.
She had thought of all the details in advance, except for the warehouse.
The brigade’s warehouse is located in another place, which is used to store the brigade’s production materials. There are many valuable items there, and problems would easily arise if they were mixed.
But now the fishery has no money, and building a warehouse is not realistic.
Where should I put it?
Seeing her frown, Lin Jin said, "There is an empty room at the Youth League Center. Why not use it to store fish food temporarily?"
"There are too many people at the Youth League site, so it won't work." Jiang Wanyue shook her head. "My living room is quite big, so I'll put it there for now, and just lock it when I go out."
"Why bother?" Zhao Xiangbei said with a smile, "Jiang Jie has children at home, so it's better to put them at my house. My parents just built a new house for me with three rooms. I live alone, and the extra space is empty. Besides, my house is also in Group 4, which is closest to the brigade headquarters. It will be very convenient to take whatever I want in the future."
He is in his early twenties and has not yet married. His family built a house for him in order for him to find a wife, but now his wife has not yet entered the family and the house is empty.
Jiang Wanyue also knew about his family situation. After thinking about it, she nodded.
The three of them went about their business.
Jiang Wanyue put aside the matter of the fishery for the time being, as she had to go to the commune to paint murals, as she had agreed to do before.
The painting tools and paints were provided by the commune. Some red political paintings were painted on several walls of the commune, and several newspapers were also given for reference.
