Twelve hours after leaving St. John's, the Harvest entered the Cabot Strait during the night.

In fact, from a straight-line distance, St. John's is not far from St. Lawrence Bay, separated by a Newfoundland island that is east and west long, at most four kilometers.

However, flying a boat is not the same as flying a plane, and to get from St. John's to St. Lawrence Bay, you first need to drive 350 kilometers southwest to Gricebay, which is the mouth of the Cabot Strait.

Then, head straight north from Gricebay, and after about 500 kilometers, you will officially enter the Bay of St. Lawrence.

The Harvest is an ordinary fishing boat, with a speed of less than 20 knots, unlike the cruiser or the Seagull trawler, which can only be driven slowly on the water.

After nightfall, Qin Shiou summoned the crew to the captain's room for a meeting.

The length of the Harvest is 15 meters, which can only be regarded as a small fishing boat from this point of view, and there is a gap between it and the ordinary sea fishing boat, which is often 50 or 60 meters. However, Qin Shiou is a modern fishing boat built at a high price, with average length and full cabins on the high.

From the outside, the Harvest is not elongated like most fishing boats, but like a cube with a relatively high center of gravity, floating on the sea like a tumbler, swaying when the wind blows.

But this is a fishing boat made of the latest shipbuilding technology, it is a tumbler, not to look easier to shake than ordinary fishing boats, but it has a strong ability to withstand wind and waves.

And the most dangerous thing after the fishing boat encounters the wind and waves is not the strong wind, but the wave peak, if a boat is short, once it falls between the two wave peaks, the wave peak from different heights, it can directly impact a boat into two sections.

The fishing boat is not a warship, and the steel plate is not strong enough, so it is a great loss to encounter the peak of the waves.

Another advantage of this design is that it increases the space for the crew, and most fishing boats have to live in the cabins below deck. The Harvest lives on the upper deck, and the cabins below are all ice tanks, water storage rooms and storage compartments, making for more space.

Qin Shiou arranged for Sha Ke and Smoke Gun to sleep in the rooms on the first deck with six crew members, with two people in each room. There are exactly four rooms. On the second floor there are two large rooms, one for the fisherman, one for him and one for Iverson.

There is only one largest room on the floor, which is used for the dining room, meeting rooms and event rooms.

Don't look at the size of the Harvest is only two tons, in fact, it was designed according to the ocean-going fishing vessel. You can go deep into the open sea for fishing.

However, the ship has a rated crew of ten people, and now it is overspent by individuals, and it can only be like this, which is not a big deal.

At night, the sea breeze was strong, and the howling wind carried the fishing boats on the sea, except for Shaq, who worked in the wheelhouse, and everyone else went to the restaurant on the top floor for a meeting.

Qin Shiou first introduced himself, and then explained the goal of this voyage, which is to catch lobsters and queen crabs. If there is a school of cod, you can also take the opportunity to catch a batch, and then talk about the issue of profit distribution.

There are generally two ways for fishermen to work on fishing boats, one is investment, pay a part of the cost of going to sea and the depreciation of the ship, when you become a shareholder, you can distribute it according to the share bonus; The other is the part-time job type, the captain spends money to hire, how much is the salary a day, so the amount of harvest from going to sea has nothing to do with the fisherman.

The harvest is a compromise profit distribution method. As long as you go to sea, you can get a basic salary of two yuan per day. In addition, he will take out 28 of the final income as a bonus to ten people, as for how to distribute among these ten people. That's the bongs in charge, and they trust the bongs.

These issues had been negotiated between the two sides before they were put on the ship, and what Qin Shiou had to do was to emphasize it again, to prevent some people from not having the spirit of contract, and to say anything more after the harvest.

After finishing speaking, Qin Shiou asked the fishermen to talk about their opinions.

The fishermen discussed in a low voice. Finally, let the representative of the smoking gun speak: "We are completely satisfied, boss, this is a very fair price, I hope we can get more fish this time at sea." ”

Speaking of this, Qin Shiou is full of confidence, he has the Poseidon consciousness in his hands, if he can't return with a full load, then no one can make money in the Bay of St. Lawrence.

After the profit distribution was discussed, Qin Shiou asked Ivoson to hand out the prepared crew manual to everyone, and he emphasized the rules on board.

Seeing this crew manual, the group was stunned, because the first article reads: Complete obedience to the captain's decision!

Look at the second point: must obey the captain's decision!

Article 1: Full and mandatory acceptance of the 1st and 2nd Fishing Vessel Rules!

The crew was dumbfounded, and the first time the smoking gun saw such crew rules, he stammered: "Ship, ship, captain, what does this mean?" ”

Qin Shiou shrugged his shoulders and said lightly: "That's what you see, if you choose to get on my fishing boat, you must fully follow my instructions, and no questions are allowed, do you have any questions?" ”

A big beard stood up and was about to speak, when the cigarette gun waved his hand to signal him to sit down, sighed and said, "No, we don't, boss, we trust you completely." ”

Although they said that, the group obviously didn't think so in their hearts, and they all looked at Qin Shiou with questioning eyes.

Qin Shiou let them see, anyway, the final facts will prove Yiqiē, he does not allow anyone to challenge his authority, but before the steel fact happens, allow these people to doubt his ability.

When the meeting was adjourned, a clever young man asked, "Boss, can we ask you for answers when we have questions?" ”

Qin Shiou laughed, this little found the only loophole in the rules, he nodded and said: "Yes, I am not a tyrant, I accept doubts, but you can only question me, and you can't resist my orders, this is the bottom line!" ”

As soon as he spoke, the big beard that had just gotten up and been pressed down stood up again, and asked in a rough voice: "I want to know, boss, where are we going to cast our nets?" How many times have you been to St. Lawrence Bay? ”

Qin Shiou smiled and said, "I've not been there many times, but I know enough about it." As for where the shrimp pots are deployed, you'll know this when you get to the Bay of St. Lawrence. ”

"But I want to know now, I think we, as your helpers, are qualified to know!" Dahu said excitedly.

Qin Shiou said: "This is what you think, not the fact, okay, crew, go and rest, today's meeting is here." ”

The other fishermen obviously have this question, after all, they have a 20% profit bonus, and the final catch is closely related to their income. In their eyes, Qin Shiou is a local tyrant who doesn't care about income, but they rely on income to support their family, so they must care about this.

Therefore, the fishermen did not move, they were all looking at Qin Shiou.

Da Hu said: "Boss, we are all brothers, we know each other well, and no one will tell you the address you have chosen, so you should be able to tell us with confidence." ”

The fishermen www.biquge.info their heads and stared at Qin Shiou closely, including the smoking guns. (To be continued.) )xh118
