Robinson smiled: "This lady is right, we are employees of Dow Chemical, this is such a gentleman, we ......"

Qin Shiou looked at his parents and interrupted the man's words: "Now that we are eating, let's talk after eating, OK?" ”

The Dow Chemicals men nodded and left, but they didn't stay at Daddy Hickson's for dinner in the end, and the stubborn old man refused to entertain them.

The dishes were all served, Qin Shiou asked Winnie to accompany her parents to dinner, he went to find Hickson's father and asked, "Hey, what's going on?" When did the people from Dow Chemical come? ”

The old man snorted and said, "They just came in the morning, they came once before, trying to persuade Mayor Hani to allow them to build a chemical plant on the island. Mayor Hani disagreed, citing the wishes of the residents as an excuse to resign, and these guys did not give up and came again. ”

Obviously, this time the Dow Chemists came prepared, and they changed their tactics and no longer approached Hani, but visited the townspeople one by one, playing the trick of 'strong fortresses are always breached from within'.

After eating, Qin Shiou didn't go back, he stayed in the town to wander around and see what Dow Chemical wanted to do.

He went to the grocery store, only the new accountant Zhang Peng who had just arrived was in it to reconcile, and when he saw Qin Shiou, he stood up and said respectfully: "BOSS, you are here, is there anything wrong?" ”

Qin Shiou waved his hand and asked, "What about that guy Little Hughes?" ”

Zhang Peng said: "Boss Hughes went to find his brother, and he said that these guys from Dow Chemical are very hateful, and they have to find a way to get rid of them." ”

Qin Shiou went to the Hughes convenience store, and Little Hughes was really here. In addition to him, he has several young people from small towns, dressed in denim clothes and neat clothes. Carry a baseball bat, golf club, or slingstick or something like that.

Seeing this, Qin Shiou shook his head helplessly and said, "Hi." I said, guys, what are you doing here? Well? Go to fight? And then arrested? ”

Little Hughes's eyes lit up when he saw him, and he waved his fist and shouted, "Fine! Those dog mongrels just owe a beating! I've told them hundreds of times that they are not welcome on the Farewell Island, and that I will kick them in the ass next time I come, and today they are here again, of course I have to give them some color and see! ”

Big Hughes pushed him and said angrily, "When will you be more mature?" Fight all day long! Do you think you're a mafia? Fack! ”

After scolding his younger brother, he looked at Qin Shiou. With a relaxed smile, he said, "Qin, it's great that you can come back, I went to the fishing ground to look for you a few days ago, and Winnie also said that your return date is undecided." Very good, we'll have a leader when you're back. ”

"The guy who took the lead in getting rid of Dow Chemical?" Qin Shiou smiled and sat down.

Little Hughes still had a menacing expression, he had no choice but to press his hand and motioned for him to sit down as well: "Can anyone tell me more about the situation?" I don't think I know much about the situation yet. ”

Hughes grinded him a cup of hot coffee, then leaned down on the counter and introduced.

Dow Chemical is the second largest chemical industry in the world, second only to DuPont in the United States. They mainly develop and produce a series of chemical products, plastics and agrochemical products. It is used in construction, water purification, paper, pharmaceuticals, transportation, food and food packaging, household goods and personal care.

Now, with the boom in biochemistry, major chemical companies are making the transition to commercialize research and produce organic chemical products from biofeeds and biowastes such as grains, soybeans, and wheat.

Canada is a large agricultural country with abundant agricultural products. We have been at the forefront of the world in this regard. However, Dow Chemical's strength in this area is relatively weak, especially in Canada, and there is no relevant production line. So they wanted to get into the industry.

Dow Chemical Canada is based in Ontario, while biochemistry is developed around the Toronto metropolitan area. This place is the center of gravity of Canada's economy and the concentration of talents, and the demand for talents in biochemistry is very strong.

Some of the more powerful companies in the biochemical industry are Bayer, BASF Deutsche Chemicals, DuPont Canada and Unilever. The headquarters are located in Toronto.

Dow Chemical wanted to come in and share the cake, but these companies naturally resisted, so they couldn't enter the Toronto City Circle.

In addition to Ontario and Toronto, Canada also has two regions in Canada that have a thriving chemical industry.

Montreal is engaged in chemical industry because the city has a diversified and relatively cheap energy supply, and has established an integrated petrochemical industry cluster, with petroleum refineries and offshore shipping tanker terminals, mainly engaged in the production of primary petrochemicals, olefins, aromatics and other goods.

The chemical industry in Edmonton and surrounding areas is made up of four main sectors: petrochemicals, fertilizers, inorganic chemicals and fine and specialty chemicals.

There is no doubt that if Dow Chemical wants to play the idea of biochemistry, Montreal and Edmonton can't do it, and they can't enter the Toronto metropolitan area, so they can only expand the new production line.

The reason for the inability to enter is that the biochemical industry is now immature in technology, the evaluation system is not perfect, and various cities are reluctant to access such production lines, including Ontario, the home of Dow Chemical Canada.

So, Dow hit the idea to some remote areas, intending to play the strategy of surrounding the city from the countryside, and in this case, the farewell island came into their field of vision.

Hughes told the story of the situation, and Qin Shiou also understood the situation while drinking coffee.

After pondering for a moment, he asked, "Then why should we be in a hurry?" The people in the town won't agree to someone building a chemical plant, just let them work for nothing, why are you angry? ”

Hughes sighed and said, "Now, these people plan to follow the money policy and concentrate on establishing a few communities in St. John's, so that the people in the town can relocate. You know, the townspeople want to live in St. John's. ”

Just like the Island of Fire and Ice, Farewell Island has also suffered from the crisis of town withdrawal, but because there are more people left here, the infrastructure is better, the catch of the surrounding fishing grounds is barely enough, and Hamre has prestige, the farewell town has been able to stand for all these years.

And the reason why the farewell town has not been revoked for a long time is that the St. John's government has no money and cannot pay the relocation fee.

According to Hughes, Dow Chemical wants to open a production line on the island this time, and they will not hesitate to pay a high price to build a community on land for the residents and relocate them.

In fact, if it weren't for Qin Shiou opening up the economic development channel of tourism, then Tao wouldn't have sent someone to convince the residents of the town, as long as the residential community is built and the compensation is negotiated, then the residents of the town will voluntarily leave the island.

As Robinson said, on such a small island, it is too inconvenient to travel, shop, and treat diseases, and it is too closed to be a place. (To be continued......)
