328. Take charge of the forces of the Farewell Island
After this incident, Qin Shiou felt that his life was not good all of a sudden.
The news that foreign mercenaries smuggled into Canada to kidnap young wealthy Chinese people is so valuable and eye-catching that the major media in St. John's have rushed to Farewell Island to dig up the news.
Qin Shiou is most annoyed by this kind of thing, if there is no news report, will these French soldiers know their worth? I just want to live in peace, why don't I let him go with all this news?
There is no choice but to close the fishing ground, Qin Shiou has been concentrating on managing the fishing ground these days, and he has ignored all the outside affairs.
The reporters racked their brains to get some news topics from him, but they couldn't even see anyone, let alone interviews, there was no way, they could only collect wind from the townspeople in Farewell Town, and go back to fool the boss.
This has stimulated the town's consumption level in a certain way, and coupled with the steady stream of domestic tourists, Hamre has been smiling a lot lately, bidding farewell to the town's GDP in the third and fourth quarters, and is expected to refresh the limits of recent years.
Qin Shiou met Hamre on the dock, where he squatted to fish, and Xiong Da followed his ass and waited for the fish to eat.
"Qin, congratulations, you have become a real rich man, and the kidnappers have found you, which can be regarded as a recognition of your worth." Hamlet chuckled.
Qin Shiou lazily grabbed the fishing rod and said, "Are you here to talk about this?" If so, then I will not be accompanied, and I will still fish. ”
Hamlet shrugged his shoulders and said, "Of course, if it's just this thing." Why did I come to your door? Now there's a nice errand that I think you'd be interested in. ”
"What?"
"Guns!"
"Genuinely interested. However, I already have a few good guns on the gun rack, and I don't want to buy anything else just yet. ”
"If it's not one or two this time. But one or two hundred, or even one or two thousand? ”
Qin Shiou threw away the fishing rod and looked at Hamlet in amazement, the latter smiled and nodded, seeing this, he was shocked and said: "You don't want to sue me, what kind of big arms dealer is your real identity, right?" Now want to develop my downline? ”
The smile on Hamley's face immediately collapsed, and he said helplessly: "For God's sake, Qin, you have to be sensible." Well, I'll admit, it's pretty bizarre that you almost got kidnapped the other day......"
"Bizarre? Bizarre ghost, I think this kind of thing will definitely be indispensable in my life in the future! Qin Shiou said annoyantly.
Before. He always thinks that no one will dislike him for having more money, and the more money and the better he enjoys, the more nourishing his life will be.
Now he doesn't think so, everything needs a degree, for example, he buys a fishing farm, the frequency of purchase is too high, and the power invested is too great, which makes people mistakenly think that he is the descendant of a Chinese super-rich who came out to invest and play.
In this way, it is more normal to be remembered.
The rise of every billionaire. It is not a simple accumulation of money, but accompanied by the broadening of contacts and experience.
After experiencing this kidnapping incident, he reflected that he still showed his face too many times. The real rich should be hidden behind a stall T-shirt. For example, the last time I met Walmart CEO Walton in Boston, everyone chatted with him, and he didn't know that this was the chief scoop of the world's largest chain store. That's strength.
After reflection, all to do is to keep a low profile. That's why Qin Shiou will not be closed during this time, and he wants reporters to not even take photos of him.
Hamlet tapped him on the shoulder in understanding. told him a piece of good news: "Don't think about it, now all the reporters who follow the news have gone back to work." ”
"Really?" Qin Shiou asked.
Hamlet shrugged his shoulders and said, "Who do you think you are?" Obama? NBA stars? Hollywood star? No, man, come on, you're not. If you're not a rich Chinese, those journalists won't care about the news, how many rich people are in a violent crisis every day? How many have you seen them cover? ”
"That's good news, well, what about the other good news you said?"
"Gun shop, our town is planning to reopen a gun shop, do you want to invest?"
Hearing this news, Qin Shiou was a little moved, of course he understood what Hamlet meant. In the past, the gun shop on the island was Nelson's outdoor merchandise store, but now Nelson has followed him as a fisherman, and there is no gun shop in town.
And now that a large number of tourists in China are expressing their curiosity about guns, if they say goodbye to the town and open another gun shop, it will definitely be a booming business.
In fact, Qin Shiou's preference for firearms is not strong, which can be seen from the fact that he has only bought a gun once in more than half a year after coming to Canada, and when he usually goes to St. John's to replenish ammunition, he almost buys ammunition and leaves, and will not stay to experience some good guns.
However, he was a little moved about investing in a gun shop, mainly for two reasons: first, the kidnapping case a few days ago made him feel insecure; The second is that there is still a lot of money in the bank card, and it is also shelved if it is shelved, so you might as well take it out and make an investment.
Hamlet told him that he originally planned to run the gun shop and shooting range by himself when he said goodbye to the town, but the town's finances were tight, and it would take at least two million dollars to reinvest in a gun shop.
"Yes, to sum up, I'm here to solicit sponsorship." Hamre laughed.
Qin Shiou asked: "But I can't apply for a gun transfer permit and a legal gun license, can you help me get this?" ”
These two documents are necessary for handling gun shops in Canada, the gun transfer license is the basis for you to sell guns, and the legal gun license is the basis for you to buy guns from arms companies.
Hamlet shrugged his shoulders and said with some sorrow: "It's easy to say that the gun transfer license is good, I have an old friend who has a license and wants to transfer, and you have to figure out how to legally hold a gun license." ”
Qin Shiou was choked by these words and didn't breathe, how could Lao Tzu think of a way?
Not to mention, he really had a way to think about it, and once when they went to the mountains to burn guns and play together. He remembers Paulo Sagro, president of the A&M Wilderness Survival Society, saying that he had a legal gun license at home.
When you think of it, you do it. Qin Shiou called Sagro and asked if there had been any recent activities. Sagro said that autumn has arrived, and the beasts on the mountain are fat and fat, and it is time to organize a hunting event, and let Qin Shiou wait for the call.
Then, to cut to the chase, Qin Shiou asked: "Paul, I remember you said that you have a legal gun license there, right?" ”
There is no need for a thousand-year-old fox to talk about fasting, so Sagro asked directly: "Is it you or your friend who wants to buy it?" Sorry, man. I'm not going to sell, you may not know, this is what my grandfather left behind, and it means a lot to our family. ”
Facing the strong attack, Qin Shiou directly came to a detour: "Our town is very hot now, and we want to build a gun shop, and the investment money has been pulled, are you interested in doing it together?" ”
Qin Shiou thought about it, and in addition to the fishing ground in the future. In other businesses, he only tries to be a shareholder and does not show up, just make money secretly, and let others be in the limelight.
Zagro now works as a fitness instructor, but what he really wants to do is be a gun instructor or make a living in a gun shop. But there has never been a chance. He is different from Qin Shiou, who occasionally likes to play with guns, he is a real gun fan, and he always has to touch guns all day long.
Qin Shiou said the project. Sagro immediately expressed interest and immediately took an afternoon ferry from a gym in St. John's. Talk about it.
The negotiation was simple, and Hamre showed Sagro the number of visitors and the percentage of male visitors in the last half month. Sagro decided to quit his job and come over to start a gun shop together.
Qin Shiou invested 1.8 million yuan and a gun transfer license, Sagro invested 200,000 yuan and a legal gun license, and the two sides invested a total of 2 million yuan, with Sagro in charge of presiding over the work, Qin Shiou is equal to pure capital, accounting for 80% of the shares, and Sagro is 20%.
All that remains is to sign the contract and apply for the official business license of the gun shop, these Auerbach will help Qin Shiou to complete, and Sagro is preparing for the trial operation, and when the official business license is down, he will ship the first batch of firearms.
Qin Shiou did not continue to pay attention to this matter, he focused on the construction of the fisherman's apartment.
As long as the fisherman's apartment is completed, Nelson and Bird can be stationed in the fishing ground throughout the whole process, and with the echo of these two fierce soldiers, the security performance will be strengthened a lot in the future.
The reason why this attempted kidnapping case had such a great impact in St. John's is that the local population is dominated by whites with high education, and the people are simple, with occasional burglaries and few burglaries.
After this incident, the authorities in St. John's issued a warning to all residents far from the residential area, telling them to prepare guns at their homes, and if a stranger enters, they can shoot him if they are sure that they have bad intentions.
On the whole, Canada has a stronger control of guns than the United States, and the defense strategy required of residents is similar to that of California and New York in the United States. But Newfoundland's distance from the Canadian mainland and the lack of security for its residents have encouraged them to adopt a proactive defense strategy.
The difference between the two is that active defense is on your turf, and you can attack if you think the other party poses a threat to your security; Passive defense requires you to negotiate with the other party, need to be witnessed by a third party, and then determine that the other party poses a threat to your safety before you can fight back.
After a week of review, the kidnapping case was finalized, with Canada handing over eight convicts and France enforcing the sentences handed down by the Provincial Court of Newfoundland and Labrador in Canada - attempted kidnapping, attempted burglary and armed home invasion, with two of the eight convicts sentenced to 16 years' imprisonment and six accomplices to 12 years' imprisonment.
With the eight kidnappers handed over and sent out of Canada, the media attention on the matter finally declined, and as Hamlet said, the people who followed the case did not pay attention to Qin Shiou himself, they were only interested in the identities of Chinese billionaires and foreign mercenaries.
In the following days, the work of the Vail construction team also entered the final stage, and a beautiful two-story apartment appeared on the land of the fishing grounds, located in the west of the villa, 600 meters from each other. (To be continued......)
