Golden Fishery

The Ministry of Fisheries attaches great importance to this fishery auction, because it is a pilot project. If it is successful, it can be promoted, so that fish farmers can earn more money, so that more people will engage in fish farming.

Therefore, the person who came to preside over the auction this time was Matthew King, and most of the Canadian ministers personally put on their clothes.

Sometimes Qin Shiou feels that the lives of senior officials in these countries are not very easy. As the saying goes, "Life is like drinking water, and you know how warm you are." People from the outside world can open or close the entire Canadian fishing ground just by seeing Matthew King in command. Several fishing grounds have caused thousands of people to be unemployed or employed, but who knows the pressure he bears?

After meeting Matthew Jin this time, it took a year for Qin Shiou to feel that Mr. Minister was getting older, and the crow's feet around his eyes were much deeper.

In contrast, Qin Shiou's life is much better. Like the idle clouds and wild cranes, the fishing ground is a cornucopia, which continuously makes money for him.

And if he is short of money, he can go to the bottom of the sea to find a sunken ship. There is still a gold ship being salvaged. Once it is salvaged, his assets can be broken through again.

Matthew-Jin usually has nothing to think about how to develop Canada's fishery. What about Qin Shiou? What he thinks about is what to eat tonight, where to play with his daughter tomorrow...

After the meeting, Matthew Jin didn't say much to him. The two shook hands and parted ways. Qin Shiou was then pulled into the crowd by Donald and other familiar fishermen.

There are quite a few people participating in the auction this time, there must be at least two hundred people, and the venue will be filled to the brim. These people vaguely form two groups, one is based on the Gulf of St. Lawrence, and the other is around the North Atlantic Ocean.

After Qin Shiou arrived, Donald pulled him away, but then a fisherman from the Gulf of St. Lawrence came to chat with him. The topic started with the movie that Director Cameron was going to make this time.

The prototype of the leading actor in this movie is Daguan Qin, which is something he is very proud of. Three years ago, he did not dare to think that one day he would become the prototype of a top Hollywood director.

Of course, he didn't dare to imagine it at that time. He will be so popular in a foreign country. At the auction site, almost everyone wants to make friends with him, and his popularity is even higher than that of Minister of Fisheries Matthew King.

Donald said to him jealously: "You've become a heartthrob. Dude, it's a good thing we're not holding a party, otherwise I think you'd be the prom king here."

Qin Shiou asked easily: "Then have I charmed you?"

Donald chuckled,

He said cunningly: "If you are willing to sell me a batch of Atlantic cod, pollock and haddock fry, I will definitely be fascinated by you."

Same as his goal. Others came into contact with Qin Shiou to get his fish, shrimp and crab seedlings.

Since last year, the international seafood industry has been difficult to do. Canada’s fishery is one of the country’s pillar industries. Fishermen rely on foreign exchange to make money. Almost everyone here is in the export business.

However, due to the global economic downturn, the sales of marine products in Canada have repeatedly declined, which has worried fish farmers.

This is also related to the positioning of the Canadian government, because it is close to the North Pole. The seawater in Canada, whether it is the North Atlantic Ocean or the North Pacific Ocean, is less polluted, while the fish, shrimps and crabs in cold waters grow slowly, are rich in nutrition, and taste good.

Therefore, Canada's seafood is graded according to high-grade, so as the economies of various countries become more and more sluggish, the sales capacity of high-end seafood is also gradually declining, and the fishery owners will eventually suffer losses.

Such as geoduck, snow crab, Dungeness crab, arctic ginseng, white ginseng and other precious seafood. In the first decade of the 21st century, Canada’s annual export volume was calculated in units of hundreds of tons. Now it exports a year A few hundred tons is not easy.

This year, the demand for Maine lobster exports has increased significantly, but it is due to the lobster Kiefella. The lobster catch in Canada has dropped sharply, and even the domestic market cannot supply it. Who will export it?

The reason why Qin Shiou received so much attention was that his situation was different. When the big guy's seafood couldn't be sold, he created a high-end brand of Daqin seafood, which was super high-end, and he didn't worry about selling it at all. Isn't that enviable?

The fish farm owners present are all intelligent people, and they know that jealousy and hatred are useless. So he tried every means to befriend Qin Shiou, hoping to get his help to sell his seafood in the Daqin brand.

They have all calculated that even if they only sell the fish at half the price of Daqin Fishing Farm, they can still make a huge profit!

After almost all the people arrived, Matthew King announced the opening of the meeting. The first session was to ask questions freely. Fisherman owners could ask questions about policies and the current seafood trade situation. They could also put forward good suggestions and discuss them together.

Donald was very active and seized the first opportunity to speak. He directly fired at Minister Matthew: "Mr. Minister, we want to know that the cod and tuna fishing season is coming soon. Can we increase the quota for this year?"

In order to protect the sustainable development of the fishery, Canada is more cautious in terms of seafood fishing quotas. It will calculate a more appropriate value based on the fishing and sales situation in the past five years, and then conservatively reduce this value, and finally allocate it. It is everyone's fishing quota.

Fishing grounds are better. Those fishing boats that go out to sea need to buy a fishing license, and this license has a catch standard, and exceeding it is not allowed, so how much money a boat can make when going to sea can almost be calculated in advance.

Matthew King was silent for a while, and said: "What if the fishing quota is increased? Do you think the market can eat so many fish, shrimps and crabs? If you can't eat it, what are you going to do? Reduce the price?"

"This is a matter for the state. We raise fish, not import and export." Someone said angrily.

As soon as someone complained, others followed, and the venue suddenly became noisy. In the past two years, most of the fishery owners have lost money instead of making money. complain?

Qin Shiou crossed his hands and said nothing, it's better for him not to get involved in this situation.

But at this time, as a core figure, it is impossible for him to stay out of the matter. Matthew King directly shifted the topic to him and said: "I know that many fish farm owners here have lost money, but why can a young fish farm owner make money? , you experienced fish farm owners, but you can’t make any money?”

Hundreds of eyes focused on Qin Shiou, and the senior official Qin nodded to the surroundings with a smile, and secretly scolded Matthew Jin for his lack of loyalty. This is hanging him on the fire to roast him.

Fortunately, he prepared the barbecue grill in advance, and he can escape: "I want to thank one person..." (To be continued.)
