At this time, it was just dawn, Qin Shiou went out strangely to see, who would come to the fishing ground so early?

As soon as he went out, he saw a group of people coming from the dock, and in front of him was Mayor William Hamley, the number one man in St. John's, with a group of well-dressed men and women in suits, and a middle-aged white man in the middle.

After Qin Shiou appeared, Hamlet immediately waved his hand and said loudly: "Qin, my good friend, Happy New Year!" Happy New Year! ”

Hearing this, Qin Shiou laughed and said, "Happy New Year, Hamlet, thank you very much for coming to greet me and my family at this time." ”

Hamlet winked his eyes and said, "It's not just me, man, and look, who is this?" ”

He stretched out his hand to introduce a group of people to the north who were gathered in the center, Qin Shiou was stunned when he took a closer look, this is a big man, Irwin Marbury, the governor of Newfoundland and Labrador.

"Happy New Year, Mr. Governor." Qin Shiou stretched out his hand politely.

Erwin shook hands with him warmly and said with a warm smile: "Happy New Year, dear Qin, congratulations on Fachai!" ”

For this New Year's greeting, the governor also deliberately learned a few words of Chinese, Qin Shiou felt quite flattered by this, it seems that he is a little heavy in Newfoundland.

"Congratulations." Qin Shiou responded with a similar pronunciation, just listen to it, make a mistake.

Led a group of people into the house, Qin's father and Qin's mother were still fishing for dumplings, Qin Shiou introduced them, and then Erwin shook hands with Qin's father and Qin's mother one by one with a spring breeze, and continued to say in his rap version of Chinese: "Happy New Year, congratulations to Fachai, I wish you two a long and healthy life, and all the best!" ”

Father Qin and Mother Qin laughed happily. Quickly arranged for them to sit down, and then one of them scooped a bowl of dumplings.

Almost all of the more important players in Newfoundland politics came. Erwin with his members of the provincial council, and Hamre with his city councillors. A group of people made a happy appearance, and then the media around them started snapping and taking pictures.

Qin Shiou actually didn't like such an occasion very much, and it was ruined on the first day of the new year. Indeed, the governor and mayor have come to pay New Year's greetings to be very face-saving, but he has long lost the heart of pretending to be cool, and it is important to accompany a good family on this kind of festival.

As soon as these people came, they couldn't eat breakfast, although it can't be said that it was a show. But there must be a certain element of showmanship, and as the number of Chinese in Newfoundland increased, the local government began to show favor.

But Erwin didn't just come to greet the New Year, and when they got into a conversation, someone cleverly turned the conversation to the economic side, and then inevitably mentioned Bombardier.

In this way, Qin Shiou suddenly realized, oh, it turns out that there is such a thing, and these people probably still have the idea of wanting him to take the lead in driving Newfoundland's economy.

Erwin said, "Qin." You are now a significant shareholder of Bombardier, and we would like to congratulate you on being the first person in our province of Niula to join the Bombardier Board of Directors. ”

Qin Shiou said humbly: "I am still only a peripheral member, and I have a stake in a branch. I'm afraid I don't qualify for the board. ”

Erwin smiled: "No, no, no, Qin, you have." You're already one of Bombardier's key directors, and I think it won't be long before you'll be notified of Bombardier's shareholder meetings. ”

Hamlet said: "Actually, it's okay to progress into the boardroom. Qin's greatest strength is his potential. Oh, God. How young is he, he's the most promising young man in Newfoundland, isn't he? ”

"Qin also won our Tula Reeves Award in Newfoundland, he is a great young man, if we have more such young people in our province, we will definitely be able to come out of the economic crisis better." One city councillor laughed.

The Tula Reeves Award is the Special Contribution to Economic Recovery, which was awarded by Qin Shiou during the O'Kaifo administration.

Hamre winked at him and said, "I bet the Tula Reeves Award in the second half of last year also belonged to Qin, didn't it?" ”

This award is awarded twice a year, Qin Shiou later had a bad relationship with O'Kaifo and directly supported Hamley's election, and since then he has missed the Tula Reeves Award, and now that Hamley is on power, the situation is naturally different.

Qin Shiou said: "If I can win the award, it is obviously a good thing, but whether I can win the award or not, I have to contribute to the economic development of our province, because I am Newfoundland, this is my hometown, and I am obligated to develop my hometown." ”

In the face of politicians, you have to see people talk about people and talk nonsense, Qin Shiou regards Newfoundland as a fart hometown, all he values is the acre of land on the farewell island, and he is not even interested in St. John's.

He was disgusted by what he said, but politicians needed such commitments, and Erwin encouraged him: "You can go free, Qin, expand your business, increase the size of your fishing grounds, this is your old business, and you are indeed very talented in this area." ”

"If you need government support, you can always raise it, and we will give you the necessary support." Erwin also promised him a blank check, and it seems that the provincial capital is not having a good time.

Qin Shiou thanked him and said that he would work hard.

Erwin said: "I don't know if you have any ideas about the Trans-Newfoundland Fisheries Alliance, I think this is a good opportunity to develop our local fisheries, isn't it?" ”

It was only then that Qin Shiou realized that his position was no longer the same as before, that he was no longer just the owner of a large fishing ground, but also an important shareholder of a state-owned enterprise - of course, only an important shareholder of Bombardier's subsidiary, but also the leader of an organization with a government background.

These identities are combined, no wonder Erwin, as the governor of the province, has come to pay him New Year's greetings, and he now has the power to talk to Erwin in all aspects.

It was naïve to think that he didn't want to be the president of the Newfoundland Fisheries Union, but now that he communicates with Erwin, he realizes how powerful this alliance is.

Fishing is an important industry in Canada, and it is a pillar industry in the province of Newfoundland!

Qin Shiou said: "I already have some ideas, including increasing the communication between fishery owners, eliminating inferior marine species, and adding more and better marine species, so that the fishery can slowly recover." ”

Erwin coughed, and a councillor asked, "Do you have any ideas to drive sales of Newfoundland seafood through your Daqin seafood brand?" ”

Qin Shiou secretly said Nyima, you think well, you want to sit with a shy face after Lao Tzu's hard work? How can it be so easy?

Hamlet chose to side with him at this time: "I don't think it's a good idea, I discussed with Qin before, we think we can develop a parallel sales chain with Daqin seafood, rather than passively merging Daqin seafood with local seafood." (To be continued......)
