Golden Fishery

Four hundred and twenty-one. Crew Manual (1/10)

Twelve hours after leaving St. Johns, the Harvest entered Cabot Sound during the night. 【First release】

In fact, judging from the straight-line distance, St. Johns is not far from the Gulf of St. Lawrence, separated by an east-west length of Newfoundland, at most 400 kilometers.

But driving a boat is different from flying a plane. To travel by water from St. Johns to the Gulf of St. Lawrence, you first need to drive 350 kilometers southwest to Grice Bay, which is the mouth of the Cabot Strait.

Then, go directly north from Glasby, and after about 500 kilometers, you will officially enter the Gulf of St. Lawrence.

The Harvest is an ordinary fishing boat with a speed of less than 20 knots. Unlike the cruiser or the Seagull trawler, which can speed up and go wild, this boat can only dangle slowly on the water.

After nightfall, Qin Shiou called the crew to the captain's cabin for a meeting.

The Harvest is 15 meters long. From this point of view, it can only be regarded as a small fishing boat. But Qin Shiou is a modern fishing boat built at a high price. It is of average length and has three floors of cabins in height.

From the outside, the Harvest is not a long strip like most fishing boats, but a cube with a relatively high center of gravity, like a tumbler floating on the sea, swaying when the wind blows.

But this is a fishing boat made with the latest shipbuilding technology. It is a tumbler. Although it is easier to shake than ordinary fishing boats, it is extremely capable of withstanding wind and waves.

Moreover, the most dangerous thing after a fishing boat encounters a storm is not the strong wind, but the wave crest. If a boat is too long or too short, once it falls between two wave crests, the wave crest exerts force from different heights, and it can push a boat directly. Shocked into two parts.

Fishing boats are not warships, and the strength of the steel plate is not strong enough. It is very disadvantageous when encountering waves.

In addition, this design also has the advantage of increasing the space for crew activities. The crew of most fishing boats can only live in the cabin below the deck. Harvest lives on the upper deck, and the cabins below are full of ice cabins, water storage rooms and storage bins, with more space.

Qin Shiou arranged for Shaq and Smoker to take six crew members to sleep in a room on the first floor of the deck, with two people in each room. There are exactly four rooms. There were two large rooms on the second floor, one for the three fishermen and one for him and Iverson.

There is only one largest room on the third floor, which is just used as a restaurant, meeting room and activity room.

Despite the fact that the Harvest is only 200 tons in size, it was actually designed according to the design of an ocean-going fishing boat. You can fish deep into the open sea.

but,

The rated crew of this ship is ten people, and now there are three people overspending, so it can only be like this, it is not a big deal.

The sea wind was relatively strong at night, and the howling wind swayed the fishing boat on the sea. Except for Shaq who was working in the cab, everyone else entered the restaurant on the top floor for a meeting.

Qin Shiou first introduced himself, and then explained the goal of the voyage, which was to catch lobsters and queen crabs. If there is a group of cod, you can also take the opportunity to catch a batch, and then we will talk about the issue of profit distribution.

There are generally two ways for fishermen to work on fishing boats. One is the investment type, where you pay a part of the cost of going to sea and the depreciation of the ship, and you are treated as a shareholder, and can be distributed according to the dividends; the other is the part-time job type, where the captain spends money to hire. How much a day's salary is, so how much you can get out of the sea has nothing to do with the fisherman.

Harvest adopts a compromise profit distribution method. As long as they go to sea, each person can get a basic salary of 200 yuan per day. In addition, he will take 28% of the final income as a bonus and distribute it to ten people. As for how to distribute it among the ten people. That is the responsibility of the bong, and they trust the bong.

The two parties had already negotiated these issues before boarding the ship, and what Qin Shiou had to do was to emphasize it again to prevent some people from lacking the spirit of the contract, and to say more after harvesting.

After speaking, Qin Shiou asked the fishermen to discuss their opinions.

The fishermen discussed in low voices for a while. In the end, the piper was allowed to speak as a representative: "We are completely satisfied, this is a very reasonable price, and I hope we can catch more fish this time."

Speaking of this, Qin Shiou is full of confidence. He has the big bug of sea god consciousness in his hands. If he can't return with full rewards, then no one will be able to make money in the Gulf of St. Lawrence.

After the discussion on profit distribution, Qin Shiou asked Iwosen to distribute the prepared crew manual to everyone, and he emphasized the rules on the ship.

Seeing this crew manual, the group was stunned, because the first item read: Completely obey the captain's decision!

Look at the second article: the captain's resolution must be obeyed!

Rule 3: Completely and must accept the first and second rules of fishing boats!

The crew members were dumbfounded. It was the first time Smoker saw such crew rules, and he stammered: "Ship, boat, captain, what do you mean?"

Qin Shiou shrugged and said relaxedly: "That's what you see. If you choose to board my fishing boat, you must completely follow my instructions and no doubts are allowed. Do you have any questions?"

A bearded man stood up and was about to speak, when the smoking gun waved him to sit down, sighed and said, "No, we didn't, we totally trust you."

Although they said so, the group of people obviously didn't think so in their hearts, and they all looked at Qin Shiou with questioning eyes.

Qin Shiou let them see, anyway, the final facts will prove everything, he does not allow anyone to challenge his authority, but before the steel facts happen, he allows these people to doubt his ability.

When announcing the adjournment of the meeting, a clever young man asked: "When we have questions, can we ask you for answers?"

Qin Shiou laughed, this kid found the only loophole in the rules, he nodded and said: "Yes, I am not a tyrant, I accept doubts, but you can only question me, not resist my orders, this is the bottom line!"

As soon as he spoke, the beard that had been pushed down stood up again, and asked in a rough voice: "I want to know, where will we cast the net? How many times have you been to the Gulf of St. Lawrence?"

Qin Shiou smiled and said: "I haven't been there many times, but I know enough about it. As for the place where the shrimp traps are deployed, you will know this after you arrive in the Gulf of St. Lawrence."

"But I want to know now, I think we, as your helpers, are qualified to know!" The bearded man said excitedly.

Qin Shiou said: "This is your opinion, not the fact. Well, crew, go and rest. Today's meeting ends here."

Other fishermen obviously have this question too. After all, they own 20% of the profit bonus, and the final catch is closely related to their income. In their eyes, Qin Shiou is a local tyrant who doesn't care about income. They rely on income to support their families, so they must care about this.

Therefore, the fishermen did not move, but were all looking at Qin Shiou.

The bearded man said: "We are all brothers, and we know each other well. No one will tell you the address you selected for the cage, so you should be able to tell us with confidence."

The fishermen nodded together and stared closely at Qin Shiou, including the smoking gun. (To be continued.) xh118
