Chapter 174: Set Sail (1/5)
Early in the morning of the second day, Lu Yao took Lin Songsheng and Shi Meng to finish their cultivation, and did not let Lin Songsheng continue to go to the dock to help, but followed him out to sea for a while.
Because Shi Meng hadn't gotten the documents for the time being, he had to stay with a few other people to help out, anyway, the sooner the dock was built, the better it would be for Lu Yao.
Now that the wharf has been built for several days, more than half of which is completed, Lu Yao estimates that there are still a few days before he returns from going to sea, and he can dock the fishing boat at the pier in Dolphin Bay.
Lu Yao recruited a total of fourteen fishermen in the village last time, but his fishing boat has three hundred tons, and there is no need for so many people on board, as long as about ten people can be busy, he is ready to let the other four people take turns to rest.
Because Lu Yao had already greeted them yesterday, all the people who were going to sea today gathered at the entrance of the village, and then set off towards the wharf of Longze Town.
Lu Yao had greeted Duan Haifeng in advance, and today his team specially arranged a minibus to transport Lu Yao and others to the wharf of Longze Town.
After the pick-up vehicle arrived, Lu Yao got in the car and saw that there were eighteen seats on it, which made him very amazed.
Originally, Lu Yao planned to buy another business car for daily use, but considering that he had recruited fourteen employees at once, coupled with the big man Shi Meng, one business car was not enough at all, so if he wanted to change, he would simply change to a minibus with more space.
Lu Yao asked the driver about the price of the car, and the driver knew that he had a good relationship with his boss, so he didn't hide anything from him, and directly told him that it was worth 380,000 yuan.
Lu Yao thought about it carefully and felt that this price was very cost-effective, and he planned to buy one for the company to spare next time he returned from going to sea, and it would be convenient to go wherever he needed.
The main thing is that this minibus is very suitable for running back and forth between the village and Longze Town, which also solves the problem of inconvenient transportation for tourists.
If the village elder and the town can't negotiate the issue of opening a bus line, then Lu Yao plans to buy two minibuses by himself and pick up tourists by himself.
He also doesn't plan to be free, and when the time comes, he will charge five or ten yuan per person, and if the number of tourists is higher, it will still be very profitable.
It took a total of 25 minutes to drive from the entrance of Xiasha Village to Longze Town, mainly because the mountain road was too rugged, and many drivers at the corners did not dare to drive too fast for fear of accidents.
After arriving at the dock, Lu Yao wrapped a red envelope of 100 yuan for the driver, and he came to pick him up early in the morning.
The driver didn't want to accept it, but Lu Yao told him that it was the money for gas, and he didn't refuse again.
At this moment, on the wharf of Longze Town, there are fifty or sixty fishing boats parked in a row, but they are not very large, only about one or two hundred tons, and the largest one is the second-hand fishing boat that Lu Yao bought from Duan Haifeng.
That fishing boat had a total of 300 tons, which was a big one in the entire Longze Town, but if it was to be pulled to Shengnan County or Linhai City, this heavy fishing boat was nothing.
Especially in Linhai City, more than 1,000 tons of distant-water fishing boats abound, which also causes Linhai City to become a large port of distant-water fishing, in the days when there is no fishing ban period, tens of thousands of tons of fish are transported here every day, and sent to all parts of the country after sorting and packaging.
After boarding the fishing boat, Lu Yao handed over the key to Lu Mingshan and Lu Minghai and asked them to familiarize themselves with how to drive the fishing boat.
Lu Mingshan and Lu Minghai looked around excitedly in the cockpit, although the two of them used to drive fishing boats, but this was the first time that they really let them take the helm.
It is basically impossible for them to be villagers in Xiasha Village, and they have not obtained many corresponding documents, and want to hold a very high position on a fishing boat in other places where they are unfamiliar and huddled.
Just like Lu Yao's fishing boat, even if you want to recruit employees, the first thing to consider is the villagers who have good moral character and can be trusted.
Lin Songsheng was also curious to look everywhere, especially some fishing nets and other equipment, and he let go of everything. And I don't stop asking the old fishermen on the fishing boats how to use them.
It just so happened that this time, in addition to the Lu family's original surname, Lu Yao recruited two people from the Lin family, one is Lin Songsheng's uncle and the other is his uncle.
They are very enthusiastic about their nephew, knowing that he has a good relationship with Lu Yao and is their own family, it is inevitable that they will be more unconsciously biased towards him.
In fact, the only people who really want to talk about novices on this fishing boat are Lu Yao and Lin Songsheng, but Lu Yao is the boss and the captain at the same time, he only needs to drive the boat and be responsible for finding the fish, and the chores on the boat are not his turn to do.
Otherwise, he would not have had to recruit so many fishermen and think about other fishing boats, and in order to reduce the salary expenses of employees, the boat boss usually wears many hats.
Only Lu Yao, a local tyrant, not only did not do this, but recruited five or six additional people, and it can be said that there are people who perform their own duties in each position on the ship.
Although Lu Yao can drive a fishing boat, he is still not familiar with how to distribute work, so he appointed Lu Mingshan and Lu Minghai as the first mate, and the two will rotate with each other when they go to sea in the future.
Lu Minghai is Lu Mingshan's cousin, if both of them are there, Lu Minghai will naturally be the main one.
Hearing Lu Yao's appointment, Lu Minghai asked Lu Mingshan to be in charge of driving the boat, and he went to arrange other people's work.
Because everyone is from the same village, they are very familiar with each other, and they have all worked on fishing boats before, so they know what they are most familiar with, so soon Lu Minghai quickly arranged things in an orderly manner.
Lu Minghai was slightly excited and asked, "Ah Yao, where do we go next?"
Lu Yao said with a smile: "Uncle Hai, don't worry, I plan to familiarize myself with the surrounding sea environment on this first trip to sea, and I will go to sea for three or five days, and at the same time catch fish with very economic value, and strive to make us an instant hit." ”
Lu Minghai looked surprised, and asked worriedly: "Ah Yao, you have to think about it carefully, the cost of fuel is not cheap now, and you will lose money if you don't do it well in burning oil at sea." ”
He was afraid that Lu Yao would be too ambitious, and he couldn't look down on that, you must know that there are not many catches in the sea now, if you are picky, you may really have to lose all the pants.
If you go to sea several times and have no income, even if everyone's salary can be paid, this bonus will be gone, you must know that according to Lu Yao's original promise, if you don't go to sea, you will take out 10% of your income as a bonus, and accumulate it in a month, this amount is very objective.
Lu Yao smiled and comforted: "Uncle Hai, don't worry, although I am a novice captain, we don't rely on our own eyes to judge where there are fish when we go to sea? ”
Lu Minghai was stunned for a moment, then his eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but blurt out: "Are you talking about killer whales?"
Lu Yao nodded with a smile, and waved his big hand: "First turn the road to Dolphin Bay, pick up the killer whales and start our ocean scraping journey." ”
