    In the morning, Qin Shiou and Powell waved goodbye to the children and sent them to the school bus. As soon as they came back, their cell phones rang.

    After he answered the call, there was a call from Brandon, who asked: "Qin, you are really crazy, you spent 30 million in one week?! It must not be true, there is a problem with our bank network, right?  "

    Qin Shiou smiled and said: "Relax, buddy, I only use it to do business. These 30 million must be spent. I can't leave it in your bank to breed insects, right?"

    Brandon smacked his lips exaggeratedly. He chatted with Qin Shiou for a while before speaking formally: "Okay, buddy, your consumption has reached 50 million Canadian dollars in one year, so American Express provides you with a special  Got a service manager.¡±

    "What is this for?" Qin Shiou asked.

    Brandon said: "It's like American Express has hired a life secretary for you. If you want to book air tickets, bus tickets, hotels, concerts, etc., you just need to give her a call and she will do it for you.  . Or, what do you want to consult, stock market trends, current news, etc., etc., just give her a call, and she will immediately find the answer for you."

    Qin Shiou laughed and said, "Wow, this is a very good service. Does she provide anything else?"

    Brandon smiled even more unscrupulously and said: "You bastard boy, fine, she will provide you with whatever you want. But I don't believe that someone dares to take away a hot girl from a hunting party."  What kind of things would a young boy do to his life secretary?"

    Finally, he said: "Don't blame me for not reminding you. Although Express Company has a lot of money, the life secretaries they hire are very bad. Their voices may be nice, but if you meet them, you will know that they are simply scary!"

    Qin Shiou hung up the phone and smiled at Auerbach next to him: "Look, I spent so much money that I alarmed the Americans. Will *** give me a call later?"

    Auerbach said: "I don't know whether *** will call you, but I think the mayor of St. John's will call you."

    Qin Shiou was just joking. When Auerbach said this, he asked, "What do you mean?"

    Auerbach handed a copy of the Porto Santo Economic News to Qin Shiou. There was news on it that Qin Shiou, the Chinese fisherman, had made special contributions to local economic construction and was awarded the Tula-Reeves Award in the first half of the year.

    The Tulla-Reeves Award was first established in 1987. It is a somewhat ironic award.

    In 1987, the United States encountered a major economic crisis. As an important economic partner of the United States, Canada was naturally affected. Because Newfoundland was close to the United States and had many transactions with Massachusetts, it was the second largest city in Canada. The biggest impact was  Quebec.

    At that time, the fishing grounds in St. Johns were almost shut down, because almost all the accessories used by the fishing boats here were imported from the United States. If the factories in the United States were shut down, how could they replace parts for the fishing boats here?

    ??Tula Reeves is an African-American businessman and a very messy guy. He contacted the Soviet Union, which had not yet disintegrated, and opened up a new road to machine parts.

    In addition, as we all know, the Soviet Union also has a long coastline and is very good at fishing boat construction.  In this way, a large number of low-cost, durable Soviet fishing boats were introduced to St. John's by Reeves, and then promoted to the entire Newfoundland.

    In recognition of Toula Reeves' contribution to saving the economy of Newfoundland, starting from that year, the St. John's government established an award, the Toula Reeves Award, also called the Economic Recovery Special Award.  Contribution Award is awarded every six months.

    It is somewhat ironic to say that the establishment of this award is because if the Newfoundland fishery had taken a rest that year, the cod resources might have recovered.

    As a result, it was the help of the great Mr. Reeves that dealt the final heavy blow to the fishery resources of the Newfoundland fishery: five years later, in 1992, the Canadian government had to close the Newfoundland fishery, one of the four largest fisheries in the world!

    Qin Shiou can't care about this. He is going to get a prize now anyway, and for immigrants, getting a prize is better than getting no prize.

    The Canadian government is still very efficient. On the day after this news broke, as Auerbach said, the mayor of St. John's, Dennis O'Keeffe, called him and thanked him in advance.  He was invited to attend the award press conference held by the government in his honor.

    Qin Shiou really couldn¡¯t laugh or cry here. Let¡¯s not talk about what O¡¯Keeffe said about his ¡®contribution to his hometown¡¯. He only said that he only spent 30 million Canadian dollars to get this award, which was a bit too weak.

    He knows that many cities in the country are undergoing large-scale expansionIn real estate construction, it seems that any real estate developer would invest no less than 150 million yuan, right?  This kind of money can't be spent in China, but in St. John's, the mayor can give him an award.

    This award is a real award. Not only is there a press conference, but the government also awards a ship as a bonus.

    This boat is a fishing boat, a tuna fishing boat, with a length of 11 meters, a width of 4 meters, a draft of 1.4 meters, a regular speed of 14 knots, and a maximum speed of 18 knots. It is equipped with 16 fishing rod sockets, bow and stern.  Each has a crane with a diesel engine power of 380 kilowatts.

    In order to get the ship, Qin Shiou went to St. John's at the end of July. He originally thought that since the government had prepared a press conference for him, this visit must be grand, and the mayor would at least accompany him throughout the whole process, right?

    ¡°As a result, Mr. O¡¯Keeffe, the mayor of St. John¡¯s, only presented him with a framed certificate at the awards ceremony, shook hands and encouraged him to do a good job, and then drifted away without a trace.

    As for the celebration dinner that Qin Shiou was looking forward to?  Sorry, no!

    The ship was at Poseidon Marine Heavy Industry Group, and the person who received him was Hanks Brewer, the account manager from last time.

    Hanks shook hands with him warmly and kept asking him if he wanted to buy a few more boats. He was so impressed by Qin Shiou that he just bought two boats back not long ago, and ended up investing tens of millions in the fishing ground. This was  A big customer.

    Qin Shiou couldn't stand the enthusiasm. He didn't even stay in St. John's. There was no one to take care of the food anyway, so he took the tuna fishing boat back to the fishing ground, which added another boat to his fishing boat.

    What is the name of this ship?  Qin Shiou scratched his head and decided to just call it Bluefin Tuna. However, when he registered it with the Bureau of Ship Statistics, he was told that the name had already been taken and he had to rename it.

    Scratching his head again, Qin Shiou simply named it ¡®Snowball¡¯. Come on, this time his pet also started to have a boat.

    After finally settling down, Qin Shiou¡¯s cell phone rang again in the evening. This time it was Weir who helped him get the dock.

    With the same words, Weir first congratulated him on investing in a new fishing ground, and then invited him to his home.

    Qin Shiou has been extremely busy lately, how can he have time to be a guest?  Fortunately, he had an excuse and explained that Winnie had gone back to work. The next time she came back from leave, she would definitely visit Weir's house.

    ¡°You can¡¯t turn this down. After all, you promised Weir at that time that you and Winnie would go to someone¡¯s home as a guest.

    Weir could only say that he was sorry, but he was still asking whether Qin Shiou needed to build a dock since he had acquired two more fishing grounds.  If you don¡¯t want to repair the pier, then you can repair other things, whether it¡¯s houses or roads, their Wel Novel Construction Group can do it (remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
