    In a small place like Farewell Island, Qin Shiou¡¯s method of calculating time is festivals.

    After Thanksgiving, November is coming to an end, and after Christmas, this year is coming to an end.

    Christmas is coming soon.

    After Qin Shiou decided to buy a large fishing boat, he immediately contacted Poseidon Heavy Industries. To build a new two-thousand-ton comprehensive fishing boat, it would cost about 8 million Canadian dollars, but the government would provide a subsidy of 7.8 million Canadian dollars.  .

    The Canadian government's subsidies to the fishery industry are very generous. About one-eighth of the annual investment in Qin Shiou Fishing Farm can be recouped through subsidies alone. The economy has not been good in recent years. In the past, Canada's economic situation was good, and large-tonnage ocean-going fishing vessels could receive  one-fifth subsidy.

    What makes Qin Shiou feel unsatisfied is that it will take six months to build a new fishing boat.

    Six months¡¯ time!  At that time, when the fishing boats are built, it will probably enter Canada¡¯s closed fishing season!

    Yan Qiang gave Qin Shiou an idea to buy a second-hand fishing boat. As long as he finds the right person and checks that the fishing boat is OK, then the second-hand fishing boat is much more suitable than a new fishing boat.

    This job requires an agency. Qin Shiou browsed the Canadian Fishing Boat Network, North American Ship Network and other websites for several days. He saw no less than a hundred fishing boats, but none of them were satisfactory.

    In fact, a lot of fishing boats have been transferred in the past two years. Fishing is not easy to do, especially deep-sea fishery. Because of the severe international turmoil, offshore operations will also encounter violent incidents. As long as the fishing company encounters it once, it will cause a big hemorrhage.  .

    The fishing boats Qin Shiou watched were either of inappropriate tonnage or too old and dilapidated. In short, it was almost Christmas since early December, so Qin Shiou didn't fancy any suitable ones.  I finally fell in love with a 1,500-ton ocean-going ship located in Churchill Port, but I called and found out that it had just been sold

    However, this period of time was not fruitless. Qin Shiou met some intermediaries on the Internet. He left his phone number and demand information. Even if he had to pay additional intermediary fees, as long as he could find a suitable fishing boat, it would be suitable.

    At the end of mid-December, Qin Shiou finally received a call from an agent named Harrison. When the call was answered, he said enthusiastically: "Mr. Qin, a Chinese? Hello, it's a pleasure to meet you. I remember you want to  A fishing boat of about two thousand tons, right?¡±

    Qin Shiou said: "Yes, about two thousand tons, something with better performance. I plan to go to the Pacific Ocean next year to try it."

    "Wow, what a coincidence. I happen to have a friend who wants to transfer his fishing boat. It is definitely a good boat. It has only been launched for more than four years. It is called 'General Christian'. You can search it online.  , definitely a good boat.¡±

    While on the phone, Qin Shiou called Nelson in and asked him to check the General Christian on the website of the Ministry of Fisheries.

    ??As the agent said, this ship was indeed launched four years ago, and it has not been out on the sea many times. The captain seems to cherish the ship very much.

    Judging from the tonnage and equipment information, this ship is also suitable, with a total of 2,200 tons. Although it is nominally a tuna fishing boat, it can be converted into a trawler and purse seiner. The introduction is very advanced, and it can also catch squid.

    After reading the introduction, Qin Shiou was a little excited and asked: "Then what is the price of this ship?"

    Agent Harrison said: "My friend hopes to sell for 4.5 million, but you know, as long as we can negotiate, the price is not the point, right? As long as my agency fee is OK, I can help you negotiate."  talk."

    The price is indeed not expensive. Qin Shiou said: "Then please send me the information about this ship and I will consider it, okay?"

    Harrison was enthusiastically received: "If you are really interested, why don't you come and take a look? Or I can ask my friends to go to your dock? We are in Halifax and you are in St. John's, aren't we? We are  It¡¯s close and very convenient.¡±

    Faced with such enthusiasm, there was no better choice, Qin Shiou readily agreed, let's meet.

    Harrison finally said: "Qin, you have to agree in advance. After all, such a big ship needs to burn diesel when sailing from Halifax to St. John's. If the business is done, that's great. If the business can't be done, you  You have to pay half the gas cost, or you fly to Halifax to see it.¡±

    Half the fuel cost is not much, Qin Shiou said no problem, let him come over.

    The other party immediately sent over an electronic contract. Regarding the issue of fuel costs, Qin Shiou read the introduction of the ship on the website. It had been launched for less than five years, had no accidents, did not go to sea many times, and had always bought insurance.  It looked like a good ship, so an agreement was signed.

    HahaFax is the capital and largest city of Nova Scotia. It is the largest port city among the provinces along the Atlantic coast. It is also the second largest natural deep-water port in the world and one of the deepest ice-free ports in the world. It is known as the Americas.  Known as the "Northern Gateway".

    Driving directly north from Halifax is St. John's. The other party was very sincere and called a day and a half later to say that the ship was sailing to St. John's.

    Qin Shiou took Auerbach, Shaq and others to the city port. He called Bigfoot Reyek in advance and told him to bring friends who knew about large-tonnage fishing boats to help him keep an eye on them.

    The group of people sailed to the port of St. John's and found the General Christian without much difficulty. The fishing boat was moored at Pier 2. Its exterior was covered with black anti-corrosion paint. The winter sun shone on the hull, making it look like a fishing boat.  Very mighty and majestic.

    Qin Shiou specially asked Shaq to drive a small boat past the big ship. He visually determined that the length of the big ship was between 80 and 85 meters. It was indeed well maintained. There were no defects in the anti-corrosion paint. The hull was smooth. There had been no accidents and modifications.  Qin Shiou is very satisfied with the awkward feeling from the outside.

    After landing, he called Harrison, and four or five neatly dressed middle-aged men found them. They shook hands and introduced themselves, and they found the rightful owner.

    ¡°These people are Italians. Harrison is in his forties. He is a smiling and friendly-looking businessman. He wears a neat suit and a windbreaker, like a salesman from an insurance company.

    After meeting Qin Shiou, Harrison praised the General Christian and said that Qin Shiou got a bargain and bought a good ship that is absolutely rare in the market today.

    Qin Shiou was a happy person and said: "If this ship is as good as you said, then I won't bargain. It's just 6.5 million. I can take it, okay?"

    Harrison and his colleagues suddenly laughed. A middle-aged man who claimed to be the captain waved his hand and said, "Then come with me. You will be satisfied. I think this ship is very good in every aspect."  Perfect!"

    Just as he was about to get on the boat, Bigfoot Reyek came over with his friends and asked on the phone: "Qin, where are you? Sorry, we are late. In this way, you tell me the name of the boat you want to buy, and I will let the person on the dock  Please take me there."

    "It's the General Christian." Qin Shiou said.

    As a result, as soon as his name was said, Reyek was stunned for a moment and asked: "General Christian? Xite, are you sure it is the damn General Christian?!" (Remember the website address: www  .hlnovel.com
