1491.Buying Fish Grounds (6/10)
In fact, there is only one topic in today's meeting, that is, Qin Shiou came to Liwei, he felt that he had done a good job, at least these fishermen were shocked by him, and then they were enthusiastically boiled by his promise, and they were more obedient than dogs.
What made Qin Shiou a little strange was that the officials of the Ministry of Fisheries in the alliance did not interfere with him presiding over the meeting, regardless of his successive expulsions from the members before or the promises made later, they only listened quietly below, as if they were outsiders.
But this was just right, the meeting ended in a harmonious atmosphere, and then Qin Shiou left the conference room, and he just went out when he received a call from Matthew King: "Hi, young man, how was the meeting?" ”
Qin Shiou was surprised: "I said Dad, are you the Minister of Oceans and Fisheries, or the Commander-in-Chief of Jinyiwei?" ”
"What? Command what? Matthew King didn't hear the question.
Qin Shiou snorted: "It's nothing, I mean, this meeting was very well held and successful, do you have anything else to tell me?" If not, please send me the seaweed seeds, and I'm going to lead the Canadian fishing industry to the ground! ”
Matthew Kim obviously has people in the alliance, of course, this is understandable, he must not be able to fully trust Qin Shiou's ability, and it is understandable to arrange for one of his own people to report to him at any time so that he can supervise the alliance.
Qin Shiou reported the results of the meeting and the work plan, and then Matthew King didn't say much, just let him count it himself.
After hanging up the phone, he returned to the hotel, and the next day he went to the Department of Fisheries to get some information and sign the leafy green algae seed collection form, so that there was nothing to do in Ottawa, and the next day he returned and left.
After returning to the fishing ground, Qin Shiou gathered several backbones of his subordinates and said, "Listen, guys. The fishery is going to be expanded, choose a new fishery, I want to buy it! ”
Brandon had already transferred to him the huge sum of money from the gold wreck, a full $160 million and close to $200 million, which he wanted to use to repay the loan. But now there's another reuse.
Hearing his words, Shaq and the others were taken aback and asked, "BOSS, you want to expand the scale of the fishing ground?" ”
Qin Shiou nodded and said, "Yes, let's discuss where there is a suitable fishing ground to buy." This time, the fishery is not used to raise fish, but is specially used to grow seaweed and then make fish feed. ”
The bull scratched his head and said, "BOSS." I don't mean to offend you, but I don't understand, can you make money making fish feed? How good are we at fish farming? And to tell you the good news, we found a school of Arctic cod in the fishing grounds! ”
"Yes, BOSS, we just found a school of Arctic cod in the fishing grounds!" "That's a big school of fish, Shet, I feel like I'm dreaming right now!" "Who's to say it isn't? I was stunned. I thought I was wrong. ”
The fishermen discussed excitedly, and Qin Shiou was depressed in his heart. These guys have a really good ability to distort topics. However, he had to cooperate and act excited, because this is human nature. If someone learns that there are schools of wild fish in their fishery and stays calm, that's not normal.
After the excitement was over, Qin Shiou continued the previous topic and asked the group to start a relationship and inquire about the private fishing grounds that were being sold. Try to go south, in the Gulf of St. Lawrence or Nova Scotia, where the water is warmer and more suitable for seaweed growth.
For the next two days, Qin Shiou searched for the location of a new fishing ground. While asking Bill Thatch, the manager of Dick's Marine Vegetation Company, to help him prepare a large number of seaweed seeds, especially giant algae.
In addition to the relationship between the fishermen, Qin Shiou also released the news in the Newfoundland Fisheries Alliance, but he didn't expect these guys to trust him until he really led the alliance's subordinate fishing farms to make a fortune.
Donald and the others really helped him, and Andrew Tucker, another fisherman with whom he had a good relationship, called him and said that he had a fishing farm here that was okay, the area was large, and the location was suitable, and invited him to come and see it on the weekend.
Andrew's fishing grounds are located in Marystone, an area in the southern part of the island of Newfoundland, a little further south than St. John's, in the middle of the bay.
After Qin Shiou looked at the location on the map and studied the fishing ground information sent by Andrew, he became interested in this fishing ground and rushed over by helicopter over the weekend.
The fishery is a perfect match for him, as it is located in a bay, which means that the oxygen content of the sea is generally low, which is not suitable for fish and shrimp farming, so the price will be relatively low.
However, such a low-oxygen environment is suitable for growing seaweed, because seaweed is a plant, they carry out photosynthesis, they need carbon dioxide and nutrients, and the bay sea is rich in these things, so the places prone to red tide disasters are often located in the bay.
The disadvantage of this fishery is that it is a bit small, with eight kilometers of coastline and 60 kilometers into the ocean, making it less than 500 kilometers in total.
Qin Shiou wanted to use Poseidon energy to become Canada's largest in-house fish feed supplier, specializing in helping the alliance's affiliated fisheries improve the quality of seafood, so he needed a large fishery to transform into a marine ranch.
But some of them worked, he took Andrew and flew directly to this fishing ground in Marystone, the fishing ground is called 'Golden Bay', the name is quite high, but when the helicopter flew over, he saw that the infrastructure of the fishing ground was very poor, only a dilapidated pier and a few wooden houses.
This fishing farm belongs to two brothers, the eldest brother is called Kamal Minsky, and the younger brother is called Sura-Minsky, both about forty years old, after they met Qin Shiou, they said that the two had a conflict, and they couldn't do business together, so they wanted to sell the fishery and share the money to do it themselves.
The infrastructure of the fishery is very poor, there is nothing to see, but there are many large purse seine nets in the fishing grounds, which are specially used to breed marine fish, and so many purse seine nets show that there are many fish and shrimp in the farming.
Qin Shiou released the consciousness of the sea god to take a look, but the result disappointed him, only a few purse seine nets in the offshore sea had some cod, herring and other common fish in the Atlantic, and there were not many fish and shrimp in the purse seine nets in the deep sea position.
However, he didn't plan to use it for farming, so he didn't care and asked, "What price do you want to sell this fishing ground?" ”
Sulla rubbed her nose and said, "You know, man, we're selling this fishery because we're going to split up. In fact, I was very reluctant to sell it, but the fishery is amazing, in a great location, close to the city, and very friendly neighbors......"
Bang, this person said a lot of things, that is, how good the fishery is, how affectionate he is about the fishing ground, etc., but Qin Shiou was depressed.
Out of politeness, he didn't interrupt, listened honestly to this guy's introduction, and when he finished speaking, he asked again, "What's the price?" ”
"Our offer is reasonable, $50 million!" (To be continued......)
