Golden Fishery

172. St. Johns Market (5/7)

While waiting for the account manager of Dick Sea Vegetation Company, Qin Shiou did something first.

Because he wants to shoot fish, he had to prepare a bow for Mao Weilong. Reyek recommended an entry-level recurve bow, which is affordable, simple and easy to operate, and very easy to use.

Mao Weilong chose a recurve bow made of carbon fiber sheets and glass fiber as the main body. He practiced with an employee with better archery skills, while Qin Shiou went to see the ATV.

ATV is an abbreviation, the full name is atvall--, Canadians and old Americans like to call it an abbreviation, which means 'vehicle suitable for all terrains', generally in China, the more formal name is four-wheel all-terrain vehicle, The more popular name is ATV.

In fact, the name of the ATV is wrong, and it is even more correct to call it an all-terrain four-wheel drive off-road vehicle than an ATV, but the name is too long-winded and does not conform to the habits of Chinese people, and because this type of vehicle has large tires, It is easy to drive on the sand, so it is misunderstood as a beach car.

Qin Shiou bought an ATV with the intention of driving it on his beach. Knowing this, Rejek smiled and said, "No, buddy, if you just drive it on the beach, then an ordinary small ATV will do. I want to give You don’t see this little guy, my car is good quality, good performance, not only can drive on the beach, but also can drive in the river bed, forest road, stream and even worse desert.”

Walking to the Viking Fishery Store, there are two large ATVs, that is, ATVs, standing on both sides of the door.

These two ATVs, one red and one black, have a simple and rough shape, with four big tires half the height of a person. Like a small tank.

Reyek introduced: "This is Arctic Cat-1000-h2, which is as domineering as the h2 Hummer off-road vehicle. The car weighs 600 pounds, the wheelbase is 1000 lbs., and the fuel tank capacity is 19l."

"The engine is a v-twin, single overhead camshaft model. Four-stroke, four-valve, absolutely powerful."

"The engine displacement is, the cylinder is, the gear is automatic cvtebs and reverse, the front tire size is 25x8-12. The rear tire size is 25x10-12..."

Reyek is a mechanical madman. When talking about motorboats or this kind of ATV, he can talk endlessly. Later, he introduced the front suspension, rear suspension, front brake, rear brake and so on. There are too many data and too many technical terms, Qin Shiou is depressed.

"Stop it, buddy, just tell me the price, the price of all the car styles you have here." Qin Shiou said with a headache.

Reyek patted the black car and said, "This is Arctic Cat-1000-h2,

The price is fifteen thousand, which is the best and most classic style. There are also brands like Yamaha, Bombardier, Honda, Kawasaki, Polaris, Suzuki, ktm…”

"Forget about Japanese products. I don't like Japanese things." Qin Shiou said, Mao Weilong who just came over gave him a thumbs up, and the two smiled and gave a high five.

Rejek shrugged. Said: "Oh, then you'd better choose Arctic Cat or Polaris, these are things made by Yankees."

Qin Shiou ordered an Arctic Cat h2. This guy has excellent off-road ability. In the future, he can drive it around town and even climb mountains and mountains. You don't need a driver's license for this thing.

Going in, there are still people loading and unloading ATVs. Qin Shiou saw that there was a small car. The height of the car only reached his thighs, and the tires were only about 30 centimeters long. The whole body was golden yellow, and it looked cute and a bit domineering.

"Is there still a small one?" Qin Shiou asked.

Reyek nodded and said, "This is the Bombardier Cub S200, the engine displacement..."

Qin Shiou spread his hands helplessly, and Reyek understood what he meant, laughed, and said, "Okay, I won't talk about the specific parameters. In short, the performance of this car is good, and the speed will not increase very fast. , up to 40 miles, suitable for children to drive, and compared to adult cars, this car is specially equipped with an automatic guardrail pop-up system, and the price is 11,000."

"It's not much cheaper than a big car?" Hamley asked curiously.

Reyek introduced: "A big car is expensive on the engine and tires, and this small car is also expensive on the protection system."

Qin Shiou handed the bank card to Leyek and said, "Two, buddy, send them to my fishing boat."

"Look, it's a business deal." Reyek took the bank card and waved his hand with a smile.

A waiter outside came in and said, "Boss, Bill Sage is here."

Reyek led a few people out, and at the same time introduced: "Bill is the account manager of Dick Sea Vegetation Company, a nice guy, very rigorous, and you can find him for business matters."

At the door, Qin Shiou saw a middle-aged white man in his forties.

This man should be Jewish like Auerbach, with blond hair combed meticulously, wearing a neat suit and white shirt on a hot day, with a blue tie around his neck, a briefcase in his hand, and shiny leather shoes on his feet Can compete with Hamley.

After shaking hands, Bill Sage took out his business card first, held it in both hands, and gave one to each person.

Hamley sent one naturally and politely, Qin Shiou touched his nose in embarrassment, grandma said, Auerbach is not around, he is not prepared for anything.

Without Auerbach, Qin Shiou would be an upstart who didn't understand anything. It can be said that after Auerbach was diagnosed with a brain tumor, Qin Shiou was most worried about him, so he must let Qin Shiou raise the four orphans, so as to urge him to hurry up. Grow faster, mature faster.

As a result, his disease is now under control, and with the improvement of Seagod's energy, his physical condition is getting better and better. It seems that he stays in the fishing ground to serve vegetables and fruit trees in the morning, soak in the hot spring in the afternoon, and help the four children with their homework in the evening. Very cool look.

After exchanging business cards, Bill, Hamley and the other three began to talk about grass seeds. He was really serious. As soon as Hamley said they were from Farewell Island, he immediately took out a document. Dao: "This is the lake water test report of Shenbao Lake, which records in detail the types and approximate proportions of aquatic plants in the lake."

Qin Shiou also got a copy. This report has about 20 pages in total, and the data in it are missing in detail. The types and proportions of aquatic plants start from 1990. There is a test every five years, and the data is recorded in it. In addition, the report also includes the degree of preference of Asian carp to various aquatic plants.

Obviously, Bill has prepared well for his homework. He knows the source of the money for Farewell Town, and he also knows what the money is for.

Wait until they finish reading. Bill introduced: "For inland lakes, aquatic plants are very necessary. It is the habitat and shelter for many aquatic animals. At the same time, it also provides food for many animals - such as water snails, teals, water birds, frogs, etc. The most important . to provide oxygen to the fish."

"I suggest that you increase the planting of North American crown grass. This aquatic plant can better absorb animal and fish excrement, and has a strong ability to produce oxygen. Most importantly, it is a species that Asian carp cannot eat. One of the aquatic plants."

Hearing this, Hamley coughed and said in a low voice: "Bill, there is one thing I want to say. Our purpose of buying grass seeds this time is not to limit Asian carp, but our purpose is to better shape the ecology of a lake area." system……"

Bill blinked with some doubts, and said, "Shape the ecosystem?"

Qin Shiou saw that it was impossible to talk like this. Hamley is used to being a politician, and he likes to cover up when he speaks. It was obviously difficult for Bill to understand, so he said bluntly, "It doesn't matter whether Asian carp eat or not the aquatic plants we want to buy, as long as the native fish like to eat them. "

Bill frowned. Said: "Then you don't plan to curb the reproduction of Asian carp?"

Qin Shiou laughed and said, "We have already found a way."

Bill nodded. Said: "Then this kind of thing is very simple, as long as the types and proportions of aquatic plants in Shenbao Lake were used ten years ago. Wouldn't it be enough to re-scatter the seeds of aquatic plants?"

This plan was passed quickly, and local governments in Canada have this advantage. As long as the finances are disclosed, many issues can be passed in one step, and there is no need to hold this meeting or that meeting to discuss.

Bill listed the types and prices of the grass seeds, and Hamlei and Qin Shiou took his two men to study together, and decided to initially purchase 120,000, a total of 48 tons of aquatic grass seeds.

The grass seeds of aquatic plants are more expensive than seaweed. In addition, the 120,000 yuan includes aircraft rental fees and labor costs.

The matter is almost discussed, and the rest is to sign the contract. This is more serious and requires the presence of a lawyer. The two parties did not bring a lawyer. Strictly speaking, Qin Shiou and Hamley did not bring a lawyer. Bill actually has a lawyer's qualification certificate. No wonder Such a rigorous temperament!

It is still Reyek who treats guests to dinner. If you are in China and work for the government, the government will have the nerve to invite you to a meal. In Canada, you can't even think about it.

After lunch, Hamley and the others were going to ask a lawyer to draw up a contract, while Qin Shiou and Mao Weilong wandered around the market in St. John's.

The two first bought a cup of fruit snow ice, drank the sour and sweet cool snow ice, and walked slowly in the shadow of the market. Mao Weilong said: "The pace of life here is really slow. Living in this kind of place is called Living in Kyoto? That's survival!"

Qin Shiou said: "Don't be emotional, hurry up and see what you want to buy?"

"Your treat?" Mao Weilong smiled cheaply.

Qin Shiou took out his mobile phone and took a photo for him to show him, Mao Weilong was puzzled, Qin Shiou said with a smile: "I'll let you take a picture to see how big your face is, let you know how much you weigh, and return my treat, are you dreaming? "

I happened to come to a mobile cart stall selling T-shirts and shorts. This is a feature of Newfoundland. Some small vendors sell clothes not on the street, but in small carts similar to domestic breakfast carts, clothing, shoes and hats. are placed inside.

This is not done to avoid encountering urban management or something, but to run away from the tradition, the tradition of the ocean fishing boat trade.

In the booth where the two of them walked, there were a few T-shirts hanging, which were very Chinese-style, with Runzhi's head, Lei Feng's head, etc. printed on the clothes, and some of the T-shirts had Runzhi's quotations printed on them, what 'knowledge' Young people want to go to the countryside', 'You are like the sun at * o'clock' and so on.

What's funny is that the boss probably doesn't know Chinese characters. There are two clothes with very interesting words. One is "If you drink and drive, I will remarry" and the other is "Set fire to the mountain and sit on the bottom of the prison". Qin Shiou and Mao Weilong I burst out laughing.

This kind of clothes is very cheap, only fifteen yuan a piece. Qin Shiou picked out a variety of styles, and he will wear this kind of clothes in the future. Among them, he put on the 'set fire to the mountain and sit on the bottom of the prison'. (to be continued)
