1249.The Director's Treat (4/5)
A verbal agreement was reached with Nick Du, and Qin Shiou shook hands with him, saying that he would prepare cod fry when he returned, and when he was ready, he would send him by transport ship.
Nick Du was very excited, and also said that he would prepare the shrimp seedlings immediately when he returned, and he would also prepare them for him as soon as possible and then transport them over.
Carter, on the other hand, was furious, and he dragged Nick Du to Matthew King, repeated what had just happened, and roared, "This is so bullying!" Mr. Minister, they are bullying me! I would never allow that to happen! Never allowed! ”
Matthew King listened to him carefully, told him to shut up and asked Nick Du about the situation, and after figuring it out, he naturally said, "What's wrong with this?" Am I not clear enough? This auction is actually a trade fair, and everyone can trade freely after the meeting, and the important thing is to let the resources flow. ”
Carter said angrily: "But why is the price of the shrimp seedlings sold to me so expensive, and the price that this guy sells to the Chinese is so low?" If there is no fairness, then what is the need for an auction? ”
Matthew King patiently explained to him: "As I said, the purpose of the auction is to promote the flow of aquatic resources, as for the so-called fairness and unfairness, I presided over this meeting, and I don't think anyone at the meeting will force anyone to bid for something." ”
Carter looked at Matthew King stunned, he felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't find a place to refute it, so he could only shout 'unfair'.
Matthew King shrugged helplessly, and he asked Nick Du, "Mr. Du, what do you think of this auction?" ”
Nick Du's eyebrows fluttered: "It's just amazing. I'm not a person who likes to say nice things, but I have to say it now, Mr. Minister. You have done a good deed for the common people! It's long overdue for us to get resources in circulation, so that everyone can buy better resources for less! ”
This will be what he said sincerely, this auction, Nick Du felt that he was the biggest one, not only met Kaizi sold the shrimp fry for an incredibly high price, but also harvested the cod fry from the famous Daqin Fishery at a low price. This is something he couldn't have imagined before he participated!
Listening to Nick Du's words, Carter almost suffocated in his throat in one breath, and finally he saw Matthew King ignore him. Then he played the scoundrel and said: "If you can't administer justice for me, then Mr. Minister, I refuse to pay for my auction just now." ”
Matthew King held his glasses and said, "By the law." This is allowed. However, according to the rules of our fishery auction, you will not be eligible to participate in the annual fishery auction after that. ”
After saying that, he gave Carter a self-contained look and left, and later there was a press conference analyzing the auction, which he naturally had to attend as the protagonist.
Carter stood there alone, feeling that the whole world was full of malice, and to be honest he really didn't want to pay for those useless prawns, if it were Maine lobster. After all, the price of Maine lobster is super high nowadays, but what is the use of shrimp for him?
The idea of not paying is just thinking about it. This fishery auction is the key activity of the fishery organization this year, and there is no seafood in the auction, and no one breaks the contract after the auction, and if he becomes a black spot, it is to offend the Ministry of Fisheries.
He can not participate in future fisheries auctions, and he can offend Matthew King, but he can't offend the Ministry of Fisheries, otherwise a lot of work on his fishery will not be able to be carried out in the future.
These things have nothing to do with Qin Shiou, he participated in the auction and prepared to go back to the fishing grounds, before going back, he first asked Cameron to say goodbye, the latter was directing the cameraman to analyze the scene of the Basque Country, and when he saw Qin Shiou coming, he asked him to wait.
Cameron continued to work for more than an hour, and then came to Qin Shiou, and said with an apologetic smile: "I just framed a few more important shots, I can't go away, is there anything wrong?" ”
Qin Shiou saw that it was not early, so he got straight to the point and said that he planned to go back to the fishing ground.
Cameron motioned for him to come with him and said, "Shall you leave after lunch?" I found a great French-owned restaurant with crispy cod fillets with ginger and Basque dishes. Also, if foie gras is your thing, this restaurant's staple dish is fresh foie gras with fruit. ”
The big director invited, and Qin Shiou had no choice but to appreciate his face.
The name of the restaurant is Saint-Pierre, which is very famous in the local area, it is a small restaurant with a strong 18th-century French style, and the decoration is quaint and nostalgic but warm.
There were only eight tables and a private room in the whole restaurant, and when the boss saw Cameron come in, he immediately took them to the private room, smiled and said, "I have been keeping this room for you, Mr. Cameron, I am honored to entertain you again." ”
Celebrities are good, Qin Shiou walked into the private room and saw that the four walls were full of brand-new photo frames, which were photos of Cameron, posters of his main films, and the largest one was a photo of him and the restaurant.
Cameron ordered two cups of coffee and a little dessert first, and the boss asked Qin Shiou what he wanted, and at the same time recommended: "If you are a first-time visitor, I suggest you try our custard rolls and baguettes, which are our signature desserts." ”
Qin Shiou nodded and said okay, he is not a picky eater, as long as the taste is not too weird, such as the dark cuisine of the Eskimos Kiviak, he can eat it.
Drinking coffee, Cameron sighed with emotion and said, "I didn't expect that the first time I invited you to dinner, it turned out to be here." ”
Qin Shiou was even more emotional, he said: "I didn't expect me to be able to eat with idols so intimately and casually," he took out his mobile phone and turned on the front camera, "Come, director, laugh, let's take a group photo and take a ......"
Cameron: "......"
During the meal, Cameron asked him some questions about fishing grounds and the ocean, and Qin Shiou found that he asked quite professionally, so he was surprised and said: "To be honest, Mr. Cameron, I am impressed by your research on the ocean, and many of the questions you ask are really professional." ”
Cameron smiled: "Of course, my research on the ocean must be more than your research on movies, isn't it?" ”
Qin Shiou must admit this, what does he know about movies? However, he was very curious why Cameron suddenly wanted to make a movie about the theme of marine disasters, the previous filming of "Titanic" was already the pinnacle of this kind of theme, and it seemed unnecessary for Cameron to make this again?
Now that their relationship is relatively casual, he can ask this kind of question casually, so Qin Shiou brought it up.
Listening to his question, Cameron pondered for a while and said, "Maybe you don't believe it, Qin, ocean-themed movies have always been what I want to make the most." (To be continued......)
