Golden Fishery

It was just dawn at this time, Qin Shiou went out to see strangely, who would come to the fishing ground so early?

As soon as he went out, he saw a group of people coming from the pier. The person walking in front was the mayor of St. Johns, William Hamley. Hamley led a group of well-dressed men and women in suits, surrounded by Is a middle-aged white man.

After Qin Shiou showed up, Hamley waved his hand immediately and said loudly, "Qin, my good friend, Happy Chinese New Year! Happy New Year!"

After hearing this, Qin Shiou laughed and said, "Happy Chinese New Year, Hamley, thank you very much for coming to pay New Year's greetings to me and my family at this time."

Hamley winked and said, "It's not just me, buddy, look, who is this?"

He stretched out his hand to introduce a group of people gathered in the center to the north. Qin Shiou was stunned when he took a closer look. This is a big shot, the governor of Newfoundland and Labrador, Irwin Marbury.

"Happy New Year, Mr. Governor." Qin Shiou stretched out his hand politely.

Erwin shook hands with him enthusiastically, and said with a warm smile, "Happy Chinese New Year, dear Qin, congratulations Chai!"

For this new year's greeting, the governor also deliberately learned a few words of Chinese. Qin Shiou was flattered by this. It seems that he is a bit important in Newfoundland.

"Congratulations Chai." Qin Shiou responded with a similar tone, just listen to it, and typed the wrong word.

Bringing a group of people into the house, Qin's father and Qin's mother were still fishing for dumplings. Qin Shiou introduced them to them, and then Erwin shook hands with Qin's father and Qin's mother one by one with a happy face, and continued to say in his rap Chinese: "Happy New Year, Congratulations Chai, I wish you both a long and healthy life and all the best!"

Qin's father and Qin's mother laughed cheerfully, arranged for them to sit down quickly, and scooped up a bowl of dumplings for each of them.

Almost all the important players in the Newfoundland political arena came. Irwin brought his provincial council members, and Hamley also brought his city councilors. Snap a photo.

Qin Shiou actually doesn't like such occasions very much, so it's a good New Year's Day. It was just ruined. It's true that the governor and the mayor all come to pay New Year's greetings, but he has long since lost the intention of pretending to be cool. It is important to be able to accompany his family during this kind of festival.

These people come. I couldn’t eat breakfast. Although it can’t be said that this is a show, it must have a certain element of show. With the increase of Chinese in Newfoundland, the local government began to show its favor.

But Erwin came for more than just New Year's greetings. After they talked,

Someone cleverly turned the topic to economics, and then inevitably Bombardier was mentioned.

In this way, Qin Shiou suddenly realized, oh, so there is such a thing, these people probably still have the idea of ​​wanting him to take the lead in driving Newfoundland's economy.

Erwin said: "Qin, you are now an important shareholder of Bombardier, and we have to congratulate you. You are the first person in our Niula Province to enter the Bombardier board of directors."

Qin Shiou said modestly: "I'm just a peripheral member, and I'm a subsidiary company. I'm afraid I don't have the qualifications to join the board of directors."

Erwin smiled and said: "No, no, Qin, you have, you are already one of Bombardier's important directors, I think it won't be long before you will receive a notice to attend Bombardier's shareholder meeting."

Hamley said: "Actually, it doesn't matter if he progresses to the board of directors. The most powerful thing about Qin is his potential. Oh, God, how young he is, he is the most promising young man in Newfoundland, isn't he?"

"Qin also won the Tula-Reeves Award in Newfoundland. He is an amazing young man. If there are more young people like this in our province, we will definitely be able to get out of the economic crisis better. Come out." A city councilor laughed.

The Tula-Reeves Award is the Special Contribution Award for Economic Recovery, which was obtained by Qin Shiou during the era of O'Keffer's administration.

Hamley winked at him and said, "I'll bet. The Tula-Reeves Award in the second half of last year also belongs to Qin, doesn't it?"

This award is judged twice a year. Qin Shiou later had a bad relationship with O'Keffer and directly supported Hamley's election. Since then, he has missed the Tula-Reeves Award. Now Hamley is on the stage. The situation is naturally different.

Qin Shiou said: "If I can win the award, it is obviously a good thing, but no matter whether I win the award or not, I have to contribute to the economic development of our province, because I am from Newfoundland and this is my hometown. It is my duty to exhibit in my hometown."

In the face of politicians, you have to talk to people and talk nonsense. Qin Shiou regards Newfoundland as his hometown. All he values ​​is the three-acre land of Farewell Island, and he is not even interested in St. Johns.

He felt disgusted by what he said, but politicians need such a promise. Erwin encouraged him: "You can let go, Qin, expand your business and increase the size of your fishery. This is your old man. In this line, you are indeed very talented in this regard."

"If you need government support, you can ask for it at any time, and we will give you the necessary support." Erwin also promised him a blank check. It seems that the provincial government is having a hard time.

Qin Shiou thanked him and said he must work hard.

Elvin said: "I don't know if you have any ideas about the Newfoundland Fishery Alliance. I think this is a good opportunity to develop our local fishery, isn't it?"

Only then did Qin Shiou realize that his status was different from the past. He was no longer just the owner of a large fishing ground, but also an important shareholder of a state-level enterprise—of course, he was only an important shareholder of a Bombardier branch, and he was even more important. Leaders of organizations with government backgrounds.

With these identities combined, it is no wonder that Erwin, as the governor, has to come to pay him New Year's greetings. Now that he has combined all aspects, he at least has the right to talk to Erwin.

Recalling that he didn't want to be the chairman of the Newfoundland Fisheries Alliance at the beginning, this idea was very naive. Now he communicated with Erwin, and he realized how powerful this alliance is.

Fishery is an important industry in Canada, and it is a pillar industry in Newfoundland!

Qin Shiou said: "I already have some ideas, including increasing communication among fish farm owners, weeding out low-quality marine species, adding more and better marine species, and slowly rejuvenating the fishery."

Erwin coughed, and a congressman asked, "Then do you have an idea to drive the sales of Newfoundland Seafood through your Daqin Seafood brand?"

Qin Shiou secretly thought Nima, you think well, you just want to come and sit with a shy face on the country that I have worked so hard to build? How can it be so easy?

Hamley chose to stand in the same camp as him at this time: "I don't think this is a good idea. Qin and I have discussed it before. We think we can develop a parallel sales chain with Daqin Seafood instead of passively selling Daqin Seafood. Combined with local seafood.” (To be continued.)
