"Then why should we donate? Why should we donate? Ten boats are a lot of money, thousands of dollars, so why should we donate them to the village committee for no reason?"

Mother Ye's face was full of displeasure. Why should she pay thousands of dollars for nothing?

"Can I borrow it?"

"Is there any difference?" Ye Yaodong asked back.

If he really lent it to the village committee to study kelp farming, would he be able to get it back when the time comes?

Even if he donates ten boats to the village committee, he still has to ask the village committee to organize manual breeding. However, he is still confident that he can convince the village committee. After all, it can really be cultivated. With him here, it will not be possible at all.

Don't worry about selling.

As long as it can be planted, it means that the living standard of the whole village will be improved, far ahead of the surrounding villages, and it will become a well-known wealthy village.

Furthermore, their village has also grown kelp, and he knows how to raise it. The only thing that makes him think there is a change is that the current kelp has not been improved over generations, and can only be collected from the wild.

Nowadays, wild kelp is not as good as that of later generations. Even if it can be grown, the yield will be only half at most, which requires technical staff to improve it. However, this is also the direction that needs to be researched after successful planting.

If he doesn't donate, the village committee will most likely hesitate. After all, in this early stage, fishing boats are indispensable for operating on the sea. It's hard to let a group of people do whatever they want, and they have to spend money to do it.

Believe me, sponsorship is another matter.

We have the tools and the big cake of painting, but we just need to provide some temporary labor, so the village committee is still willing to take the lead.

"Then why do you still need to buy kelp? You already have so many boats at home, but it's not enough for you to earn? Why do you have to go to all that trouble? Donate so many boats, it's like you don't need money..."

"You have to take a long-term view. If you plant them, all those kelp can bring me profits, and it can also bring hope to the whole village. The whole village will become rich together, so isn't my contribution great? The whole village

Everyone has to thank me, and I will be published in newspaper headlines in the future to promote it across the country. This is a typical example of personal prosperity driving collective prosperity. Tell me, isn't this just gaining fame and fortune together?"

Today is different from the past. In the past, people spoke lightly, and every household with ten thousand yuan was afraid of getting famous and getting into trouble. But now, who in all the towns and villages doesn’t know his reputation? Who doesn’t know that he owns boats and shops, and hires many people to work for him.

After making achievements in kelp, the whole village has to protect him, not only because he is the one who started it, but also because he sells the goods.

The most important thing is that being a household worth ten thousand yuan is a personal honor, while leading a whole village to become rich is a collective honor. The collective is greater than the individual. He has the backing of the whole village, and he has the support of the whole village to become famous.

Nowadays, a village committee is much more useful than the public security bureau.

Mother Ye was stunned by him, "It really sounds like that...I didn't even do anything, but I already thought about being in the newspaper and collecting fame and fortune. Even in my dreams most of the night, I was not as good as you thought."

"

Father Ye also thought about it.

"Do you really think kelp can be sold at a good price? The prerequisite for your idea is not that it can be grown, but that the kelp can be popular and sell at a high price."

"It's worthwhile to grow it, but that's not the most important thing. The most important thing is that someone wants it and you can sell it for money. If you can't sell it for a price, then don't talk about fame and fortune, you will be scolded by the whole village.

Damn it. If you are afraid of being scolded and keep it yourself and receive the subsidy, how much subsidy will you have to pay?"

"You have to think clearly. Don't just think about how many benefits it can bring to you. You have to ask in advance whether there is anyone outside who wants it. If no one wants it, if people want it, the villagers will not be able to do it.

It's easy, but it might cause public outrage. If it doesn't grow, no one will have anything to say."

Ye Yaodong thought about it and thought it made sense. Although he was sure he could sell it, he still had to test the market.

"Although I'm sure no one will want it, dad, since you said so, we can give it a try. In the past two months, haven't the people in the village picked up a lot of kelp to dry? In this case, I weigh 6 pounds

To share the money, ask people in the village to collect it first, and take as much as you can send over."

"It's not a rare thing. You definitely didn't expect me to collect it. I probably don't have much on hand. It's a lot for 400 households to collect two or three thousand catties. If it's more than 3,000 catties, 6 cents is only 200

Just spend these 200 yuan and collect it first. I’ll call Boss Zhou and maybe sell some of it to the city for retail sales.”

Father Ye nodded, 200 yuan is not much, you can just spend 200 yuan to try it out first.

"That's okay."

"Be on the safe side. I'll make a call tomorrow. If I'm sure I want it, I can collect it from the villagers. Then I can use this to convince the village committee to organize the breeding. It will be more prestigious. After all, I don't have to worry about selling."

"It's good. It's more stable. If someone wants it, we can have it researched and raised."

Ye's mother saw the father and son going back and forth and settled the matter. Neither of them mentioned the boat, which made her anxious.

"What about the boat? You two are just talking about kelp, what about the boat? Do you really want to donate? It's too much. I can just donate a few words and it will be fine."

Ye Yaodong had just said that he would donate ten pieces when his head was hot. Now that he analyzed it with his father, his mother also protested in pain. He also felt that it was too much.

It’s still a little bloated!

I made a lot of money last month by catching squid, and I made a lot of money at the end of the month, and I thought every day that I might have 200,000 by the end of the year. Now I feel like a rich man, and even the ten boats were a bit unimportant. Just now

He came as soon as he opened his mouth.

He immediately calmed down his swollen heart and sobered up.

In the initial research on how to plant, we don’t need so many people at all. Two boats are enough and can express our sincerity. We don’t need as many as ten, which will be useless.

When ten are needed, probably after the initial success, expanding production capacity for large-scale planting will require more manpower and a few more boats will be needed, but that is what the village committee should worry about.

"What Mom said makes sense. Ten is too many. My head just started to heat up. I just blurted out an idea without thinking about it."

Mother Ye looked better and had a smile on her face, "Right, I just said ten is too many, it's thousands of dollars, whose money is blown by the strong wind, the money you earn is also earned by your hard work at sea

It’s all hard-earned money, saved one by one to get where we are today.”

Father Ye also said, "Then I'd better donate two..."

“It can’t be said to be a donation, but it can be said to be sponsoring the research on kelp cultivation in the village, making a contribution to the prosperity and development of the village, and also contributing to the villagers’ better life in the future.”

The old lady answered with a smile, "Okay, okay, Dongzi can still talk. When you say this, it makes people feel so comfortable and seems to have a higher level of consciousness."

Mother Ye glanced at him with disgust, holding chopsticks in her hand to pick up vegetables, "When did your mouth start to sound like an official? Listening to such a scene, in the final analysis, it's not a donation."

"Since everything has been given, of course you have to say it nicer, otherwise how can I get people to express their gratitude from the bottom of their hearts."

"Only you can talk."

"Then there are 8 more. According to the original intention, these 8 will be directly depreciated and sold to the boatmen who will follow you then, right? Also, this research will have to wait until you come back from Zhejiang Province, right?"

"Of course, I will earn the money I should earn when I finish using it, and then I will free up two more to give to the village committee. Anyway, kelp seedlings are harvested at the end of September and early October, and it depends on the temperature at that time.

It depends on the temperature of the sea water.”

If you really master the planting technology, this thing is simple, but for a novice who doesn't understand, you have to learn slowly and explore for a long time.

When the weather gets cold, the wind and waves are strong, and the time at home is longer than at sea, he can watch and give guidance.

After he figured it out and had a plan, he relaxed and could taste the food.

"It's quite similar to what you said. It makes you know everything..."

Ye Mu said something habitually to break up the trouble, and then immediately brightened up and said: "Hey, can you use the boat to partner with the village committee and study planting together? After success, let the village committee share the money?"

Father Ye also looked at him, "Is that okay?"

"Forget it, I only took two boats. As for the guidance of planting, although it is technical, but how should I divide it? Five to five? Three to seven or two to eight?"

"We have just started to achieve some results in research and development, so it's okay to share some. But if we wait for large-scale planting and the whole village participates in collective planting, even if I take 10%, the remaining 90% will be shared by more than 400 households in the village.

Is it appropriate? Otherwise, instead of being thanked, I will be scolded and get a lot of points."

"If we only take the front part and don't take it when the latter develops vigorously, how much money can we get from the front part? Isn't this just for small money, just to put ourselves in it?"

"Originally, if the whole village vigorously develops the cultivation of kelp, I will also benefit. I can make a lot of money just by selling it. This is the big one. In addition, there is a reputation for individuals to drive collective prosperity. These are more important."

"If it is really raised, the government will set up a benchmark and a signboard throughout the village and vigorously publicize it. Then it will not be my personal matter, but a collective honor."

Mother Ye felt that she understood, but also felt that she did not understand.

"So you don't take any benefits? Become a good person?"

"Not really. You can participate in the research. After the research is completed, there will definitely be people who participated and contributed. The fruits of labor will be divided up first. It will depend on how the village defines it. Then if the breeding is carried out on a large scale, should the villagers do the breeding on their own or organize it?

Breeding together as a group is also part of it."

"I estimate that the development will definitely be carried out as a collective unit at the beginning. After all, it is still in the exploratory stage. After everyone is familiar with it, they will know how to breed, and then the collective can be developed into individuals, and everyone can work alone as a family unit.

"

"So, there are definitely benefits to participating. Sponsoring two boats, plus I started the breeding business, there will be many benefits in the future. We have to take a long-term view."

Father Ye nodded frequently after hearing this, feeling that what he said made sense.

"What Dongzi said is that at the beginning, we didn't make any results yet, so we asked to be divided according to what we wanted, which made people feel bad. Once we have results, it won't be too late to distribute them according to their work. What's more, it will definitely come from the collective

Transfer to someone else. No one can put Dong Zi away anyway, and we have to hope that he will take it all away and sell it later."

"So, this is the decision for the time being. I will contribute two boats. It would be great if we can have two boats out to sea. It is already evening and it is not far from dark. We will wait until tomorrow to collect the kelp. Mom will also help tomorrow morning.

Let’s publicize it in the village so that everyone who has kelp can use it to exchange for money.”

Anyway, he will not participate in future breeding, but he can participate in research and development. Research and development and improvement are the core of making the kelp grow longer and better and increasing the yield per mu.

"Why wait for tomorrow? When I get back from dinner, just say it at the door and let them spread it all night. Then early tomorrow morning, there will naturally be a bunch of people lining up in front of your house."

"Why are you so anxious? I haven't inquired about the price yet. I'll call you later to find out how much I can give you for the acquisition, and then I'll tell you that you are spreading the news."

"OK."

"If you charge 6 cents for this, how much will it cost?"

"One or two cents."
