    According to the plan, the fishery owners stayed on Binghuo Island for three days before preparing to leave.

    In the past three days, the fishery owners have suffered enough, because the island lacks almost everything. If they want to drink a cold beer, they have to sail to the other side of the ocean.

    This is also the biggest dilemma that the island currently faces. They need to take a ferry to go outside the island to buy daily necessities, which is too troublesome.  The bigger trouble lies with the government. In order to maintain the normal life of the town residents, the government has to arrange two ferries every day.

    The ship burns oil!

    For the old gentlemen and old ladies in the town, these three days are not bad. They like to be lively. The arrival of the fishery owners and the media restored a lot of vitality to the long-dead town.

    The townspeople are more welcoming to the media. They have been chatting with reporters these days, telling them about their difficulties, hoping that the media can help them.

    During the final farewell, Wright pulled a reporter from the Ottawa Maple Leaf and said, "We actually don't want to leave here. In your opinion, this place is very rundown, but for us old guys, this is our hometown! This is it."  The water and fish from the broken island feed us!¡±

    "We don't need to enjoy anything. Look, we can touch the steps of heaven by turning up our heels. What do old guys in their 70s and 80s want to covet? As long as they have basic daily necessities, such as bread, fresh water, and electricity.  We just want to live here.¡±

    Listening to the sad and helpless words of the old people, the fishery owners lowered their heads silently. They could not help the old people at this point.

    What Qin Shiou can do is to invite Mayor Parry to Farewell Island to see if he can find inspiration to improve the current situation of the town.

    When they were about to board the boat, Old Williams ran over. He was carrying a mountaineering bag, waving and shouting: "Hey, guys, don't leave in a hurry. Look, we got some small gifts for you. I don't know."  Do you like it?"

    Opening the mountaineering bag, there was a delicate dagger inside.

    The longest of these daggers is twenty-five or six centimeters, while the short ones are only five or six centimeters. The handles are carefully wrapped with blue nylon rope and transparent fishing line, and the scabbards are made of flexible shark skin.

    The dagger Qin Shiou got was fifteen centimeters long. After he pulled it out, the blade was sharp and had pattern-like blood grooves, but the texture was strange, like bone fragments.

    "Is this?" Qin Shiou guessed, "Is this made from the teeth of a Greenland shark?"

    "Yes." Old Williams smiled excitedly, "Remember the Greenland shark head we fished from the sea? We captured another one, and then took their teeth and polished them into daggers."

    Old Wright also smiled and said: "The texture may not be very good, but this is a specialty of our town. It is a technique learned from the Inuit people. It is baked with cooked oil during the polishing process, so the toughness is actually very good.  "

    Serge received the longest dagger, and the Indians liked it, so the old fishermen gave him the best one.

    Caressing the dagger, Serge showed a faint throb on his face, and then gritted his teeth and said: "Old guys, we all understand the plight of your town. If you don't have high demands, then I will make preparations when I get back.  Invest in a casino in this town! I think you can make some money by doing business with gamblers!"

    Gambling is not allowed in Canada and the United States, but the government knows the dangers of gambling, so it stipulates that casinos cannot be set up in places with a certain population density. Large casinos are usually located in remote places.

    For example, the world-famous Las Vegas is located in a desert.  But gamblers don't care about this. What they want is a place where they can gamble. Even if the journey is as difficult as traveling to the west, the gamblers can still get there.

    Qin Shiou looked at Serge and felt a fondness for him. In fact, these fishery owners were not as hateful as he thought. They were also human beings, but they had accumulated too many conflicts with traditional fishery owners, so they targeted him.

    Buck took off his sunglasses and said: "I run a catering business. I will build a small bakery on the island later, so that everyone can eat fresh bread without having to travel so far."

    The holiday fishery owners all have their own main business, and it is easy to help the town. For example, when Buck builds a bakery, he just needs to send a baker to bring a stove. There are plenty of houses, and the compensation can be tens of thousands of yuan a year at most. For him,  It has no impact.

    ¡°But they did do good things, and that¡¯s worthy of admiration.

    On the contrary, the traditional fishery owners cannot provide help to the town. They are actually fishermen.

    At the last moment, Serge and othersThe aid to the town has eased the relationship between the two groups of fishery owners. The reason why Andrew and others were so hostile to these resort fishery owners was not only because they did not build fisheries, but also because they had a hatred of the rich.

    Why hate the rich?  Because the traditional fishery owners believe that these rich guys are outright villains because they are rich and unkind!

    But what happened later proved that this was not the case. There were just some misunderstandings between the two of them.

    Leaving Binghuo Island, this visit is over. I originally wanted to visit some fishing grounds on the Labrador Peninsula.  However, the Marine Meteorological Service said that the tropical cyclone was heading north and had already approached the waters of Newfoundland, so for safety reasons, they decided to return.

    As never before, the relationship between the fishery owners became harmonious, and Andrew even played stud with Buck and Charco.

    This scene is gratifying, but Matthew did not organize the visit to ease their relationship.

    When he finally arrived in St. John's, he gathered all the fishery owners in the restaurant on the top of the cruise ship and said: "You saw it, didn't you guys? Look what happens to the local economy when the fishery collapses. What do you do?  After understanding this, you should be able to understand the determination of the Fisheries Department, right? If anyone ruins his fishing ground, then believe me, he will regret it!"

    The fishery owners were silent. The last time Matthew said these words, some of them were still unconvinced, but now they are all honest, because for some places that rely on the ocean, the collapse of the fishery is simply terrible.

    Seeing that both the traditional and holiday fishery owners were honest and honest, Matthew King smiled with satisfaction, and the visit should have ended perfectly.

    When the cruise ship was parked at the St. John's pier, there were countless ships docked on the pier. Strong winds were already blowing on the sea surface. After the tropical cyclone came to the Newfoundland waters, it began to show its strength due to the cold. A hurricane was coming.

    Qin Shiou took Matthew and Parry to the cruise ship Seagull. Halfway through the boat, the sea wind became stronger, and huge raindrops "crackled" on the glass windows, as if they were hail, with astonishing power.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
