1245. It's My Turn to Shoot (5/5)
Early the next morning, the fishery auction began.
The Department of Fisheries and the Government of Canada are taking this auction very seriously, because fishing is one of Canada's pillar industries, involving the employment of millions of people and the consumption of tens of millions of people, and it has a role to play in the economic downturn.
As a result, the government arranged a large number of media outlets for this auction, and there were less than 200 fishing grounds participating in the auction, but there were 40 or 50 reporters and videographers from all walks of life, which is quite a large number.
Qin Shiou was like a star when he entered, he and Sanders were chatting about the breeding of small tongue sole, and the long guns and short gun cameras suddenly stretched out on both sides, and a large number of flashing lights lit up.
Although he had been mentally prepared, Qin Daguan was still taken aback by this scene, he touched his nose and sighed: "Damn, I seem to have a special relationship with the media recently, I guess my exposure rate can catch up with second-tier stars, right?" ”
Winnie's election, Grant Elementary's participation in the finals, and this fishing auction all had media participation.
Sanders analyzed Qin Shiou and said, "BOSS, I found a very interesting point, you see, when the mayor was elected, the media didn't pay attention to you at all; You were only a supporting character during the game, and now that you're the second protagonist, ...... next."
"No, Professor, I'm the first protagonist now, right?" Qin Shiou retorted happily.
Sanders shrugged and said, "Are you sure?" I thought the first protagonist was Minister Matthew King. ”
Qin Shiou thought for a while, sighed and said, "You're right, Matthew is the protagonist." ”
"It's okay, according to this development trajectory, you can be the first protagonist next time, don't be discouraged." Sanders reassured him.
Qin Shiou shook his head. But then he reacted and was stunned: "Shet, why should I be discouraged? I'm a fisherman, not a star! ”
For the media, Qin Shiou may not be the protagonist, but for the fishermen, Qin Shiou is definitely a well-deserved top brand. After he entered the venue, people kept greeting him, but most of the Qin officials didn't know him.
Matthew King arrives later, he is going to speak, and then a veteran white glove is brought in to preside over the auction.
In the past, Qin Shiou participated in several auctions, he was the beneficiary, and he was the party that provided the auction goods, although he still had to provide the auction items this time, but more importantly, he also had to participate in the auction, and he fell in love with several kinds of seafood.
Matthew King's speech was succinct and clear about the purpose and process of the auction. The height is different, the things to see are different, Qin Shiou feels that this kind of auction is good for promoting the development of Canada's fishing industry.
The main task of the fishery is to breed and sell seafood, and the work of selling fish fry, shrimp fry, crab fry, etc. is secondary, but it is also necessary. However, because the fish farmers do not have the energy to spare, the number of fish seeds that can be supplied each year is limited.
In this way, only if these aquatic fry are sold at a high price, the fishermen will be happy to do it.
The Fisheries Auction provides such a platform. What is the purpose of this auction? Matthew King said it very honestly, and that was hype. Stir up the price of aquatic seedlings!
But this hype is necessary, not an economic bubble, which is not the same as property speculation. Nowadays, people are reluctant to exchange resources, and many high-quality seafood can only be produced on a small scale, and their current living environment may not be the most suitable.
After the price of aquatic fry was raised, the fishermen were profitable. And the profit is enough to make them tempted, so they are naturally keen to breed high-quality aquatic fry and then expand, which has a great effect on the promotion of the Canadian fishing industry.
China has done a better job in this regard, because the government is doing this work, introducing new varieties and improving new varieties. And then it will be promoted locally. The government provides funds and resources, and the people benefit.
This is the superiority of socialism, but it is plagued by the problem of efficiency -- the work efficiency of China's functional departments is well-known all over the world -- and too few new or improved varieties have been introduced, and the intensity is insufficient.
Canada is different, the Department of Fisheries is a manager rather than a service provider, and the fishermen want to breed what they want to do, how to improve it, how to introduce it, that is their own business, the government does not care.
Therefore, the owner of a large fishery like Qin Shiou will hire aquatic experts like Sanders to help him manage his fishing grounds, and not only him, but also the more than 200 fishery owners present at the scene all employ marine experts or are experts in the industry themselves.
Relatively speaking, Canadian fishermen have the highest level of education in the world, and even Japan cannot match them.
The speculation on the price of aquatic seedlings at the auction is a driving force to promote the integration of resources, complete the transfer and expansion of high-quality resources, and complete the upgrading of high-quality seafood.
At the end of Matthew King's speech, there was a sparse applause from the audience, the fishermen are not the Minister of Fisheries, in their eyes the government is rotten and incompetent, and they can't help them enough, otherwise why is their business getting harder and harder to do and making less and less money?
As for this fishery auction, it belongs to the government, they pay so many taxes to feed the civil servants, they want the civil servants to do this, this belongs to the basic service.
Qin Shiou applauded very warmly, because he was looking at Matthew Jin's face, so the surrounding fishermen saw him applauding warmly, so they reluctantly gave him face, and applauded vigorously.
Slowly, the applause became enthusiastic, and the surrounding media hurriedly filmed, which was the propaganda material that the government wanted.
White gloves came to the stage and officially started the auction, and the first thing to come out was a fish from Qin Shiou's fishing ground, Atlantic cod.
The most abundant fish in Daqin's fishery is cod, and Atlantic cod is one of the more precious species of cod, which is relatively easy to reproduce, and can be sold for females that are about to spawn, as well as for fry.
The auction is sold according to the fry, 10,000 is a unit, Qin Shiou can provide about five units, so the auction is five units.
The auction was conducted using the model of Christie's, Sotheby's and Ritchie auction houses, with fish fry on display and a large screen showing the Atlantic cod fry from Daqin Fishery.
In fact, there is no need to be so cumbersome, the fishermen are experts, understand the cod situation in Daqin Fishery, in the first half of last year, the most expensive cod in the Canadian market came from Daqin Fishery, and from the second half of the year, it will not be seen in the market, because the brand of Daqin seafood has been made.
White Glove introduced the situation of the cod fry in a calm and passionate voice, and then made an offer: "Five units of Atlantic cod, each unit has a reserve price of 20,000 yuan, and the price is increased by 500 yuan each time!" ”
The auction hall was suddenly full of people. (To be continued......)
