974. Here Comes Dow Chemical (9/10)
Qin Shiou got on the helicopter and asked, "Hey, Big Bird, how is your home?" ”
The spelling of the surname Bird is BIRD, which can be translated as 'bird', so Bird's nickname was Big Bird when he was in the army, of course, he likes to call himself the Golden Eagle, but everyone he knows likes to call him Big Bird, because 'Big Bird' Bird is a famous NBA star.
"The accountant you hired is working, and Hughes Jr. said that it was not bad, he was very diligent and honest, and he didn't use the grocery store business much now. Two days ago there was another snow in St. John's, but it was only light snow and could not be sledned, which made Shirley and them very depressed......"
Bird seemed to be a loyal steward, telling the story of what happened in the fishing grounds and the town during Qin Shiou's absence.
In fact, there are no major events, they are all short things in the parents, such as because of the snow every three or five days, the heating problem in the town, and everyone has to find a way to protest recently; For example, a few days ago, the bull's son was cold and feverish, and the bull jumped up and down in a hurry.
"Someone wanted to buy the building of the chemical plant and came to negotiate with Mayor Hani, but Mayor Hani refused." Bird concluded, and naturally in his opinion, this was the most important thing.
Indeed, Qin Shiou was interested, and he asked, "Who wants to sell the factory?" What is the purpose? ”
"I inquired about Dow Chemical Canada, and they were interested in moving a production line in Ontario because they saw the ease of transportation and the ease of sewerage on our island," Bird said. ”
Dow Chemical is a diversified chemical company, a well-known international enterprise. It employs more than 50,000 people worldwide. But Qin Shiou didn't care how awesome they were, anyway, Farewell Island was his own territory, and the chemical factory would definitely not welcome it.
Speaking of the chemical industry. The chemical industry is one of the largest manufacturing industries in Canada, ranking third in terms of exports, with nearly 3,000 factories and 100,000 workers.
Canada's chemical industry is concentrated in three regions: Ontario, Quebec, and Alberta, each with its own unique strengths and strengths.
Central Canada is home to the largest producer of chemical products, a leading petroleum processing region, a hub for the plastics industry, and home to 10 of the largest chemical companies. The western region is the largest petrochemical manufacturing industrial zone. These hubs are supported by a strong research infrastructure that fosters innovation and the world's most educated population.
Among them, the city of Sarnia is the largest concentration of chemical industry in Canada. It integrates production activities and R&D, and is located in a Canada-US border community, known as the 'Chemical City'.
This area has a highly developed petrochemical processing infrastructure, with several large underground salt caverns. Close to petroleum refineries. An adequate supply of natural gas condensate (NGL) feedstocks, an offshore vessel terminal, and a robust transportation network and resources of crude oil and oil-based fluids.
It is home to Dow Chemical Canada, which wants to expand its production line on Farewell Island, as well as chemical companies such as Imperial Oil, INVISTA, NOVA Chemicals, and Shell Canada.
Farewell Island is actually very suitable for the location of chemical plants, convenient shipping, low transportation risk, low pressure and low cost, while the small island is far away from the land, in line with the Canadian government's regulations on the location of some high-risk chemical plants.
In addition, the factory is built here, facing the sea, and the back is still the sea. It's also very convenient to dispose of sewage, no matter where you look at it. This small island should be developed with a chemical industry.
But Qin Shiou does not allow it, isn't it good to develop fisheries and tourism? Why do you want to get involved in the development and production of damn chemical products? That would ruin the island.
Bird didn't take Dow Canada's visit to heart because he felt that since the mayor and mayor had refused to restart the plant, it would be impossible to build it again.
Qin Shiou is much calmer than Bird, he has just returned from a gathering of a group of rich people, he knows best the energy that these people have, Hamlet and Haney can't fight against these businessmen, if Dow Chemical really has the heart to build a chemical plant here, then there is always a way.
But there is no need to worry about this problem for the time being, Qin Shiou returned to the villa, and as soon as he got off the helicopter, the little ones surrounded him excitedly.
The bear whined, and after running over, it stood up with Qin Shiou's shoulder, almost as high as his shoulders, he was already a veritable big bear, and if he threw it into the mountains and forests, he could be the king and hegemon.
It's just that Xiong Da obviously didn't have the intention of dominating, he helped Qin Shiou to stand up, and rubbed Qin Shiou's chin with his furry head, still as stupid and cute as when he just picked it up.
Of course, if anyone thinks that Xiong Da is just selling cuteness, then he is a real fool, Qin Shiou came back with a gift, his big backpack is full of Australian fruits, Xiong Da's sense of smell is too sensitive, and he smells the fruit fragrance at once.
Qin Shiou had no choice but to take out a Venus fruit and break it, Xiong stretched out his paws and snatched half of it, and Pineapple opened his mouth to snatch the other half.
Da Bai quietly followed behind Xiong Da, Xiong Da never treated his little friend badly, and immediately tore off a piece of flesh from the Venus fruit and handed it to Da Bai.
The little lynx was crouching at Winnie's feet, and when she saw him, she quickly climbed onto his shoulder.
After a few months, the little lynx gained weight twice, and it used to look fat, but it was hairy. Now it's really fat, that little face, round and full of meat, Winnie can't carry it anymore, and she can't hold it even if she is pregnant, so King Simba rejoins Qin Shiou's arms.
Qin Shiou hugged King Simba, and had to squat down to make love with the little radish head of the tiger and leopard, but he was very busy.
Winnie walked over with a smile in her eyes and asked, "Are the beaches in Australia beautiful?" Are there more bikini babes? Have fun? ”
Qin Shiou laughed and said: "The most beautiful beach is always in my fishing ground, as for the bikini beauty?" Probably there is, I haven't come across it, I've been playing with kids. ”
He told Winnie everything about Wess and Princess Lori, and it was all a daily chat.
As he was talking about the child, Qin Shiou's mobile phone rang, he saw that it was an unfamiliar number in Australia, and after answering, Princess Lori's voice rang: "Why did your mobile phone just turn on?" Uncle, I heard that you left the Great Barrier Reef? Why? Why don't you say goodbye to us? We're friends. ”
Qin Shiou told Afif that he was going home, and it seems that Afif did not convey it to Princess Lori in a timely manner.
So, Qin Shiou explained a few words on the phone, and invited them to come to the fishing ground to play, saying that there are corals in their own fishing grounds and many big fish that the Great Barrier Reef does not have.
Princess Lori happily agreed, and finally said melancholy: "I don't know if I can go, my father is very strict with me, and many places are not allowed to go." But I'll figure it out, I'll go to my uncle's fishing ground and have a look. ”
Qin Shiou smiled and sent out an invitation, hung up the phone, and saw Winnie looking at him with a smile. (To be continued......)
