In the morning, Qin Shiou waved goodbye to Powell and other children and sent them on the school bus. As soon as they came back, their mobile phone rang.
After he answered, Brandon called and asked, "Qin, you're crazy. You spent 30 million in a week?! It's definitely not true. There's something wrong with our bank network, isn't it? "
Qin Shiou said with a smile, "relax, man, I'm used to do business. This 30 million must be spent. Can't I put it in your bank to produce insects?"
Brandon smacked his mouth with exaggeration. He chatted with Qin Shiou for a while before he said formally: "well, man, your consumption has reached 50 million Canadian dollars in a year, so express has provided you with a service manager."
"What's this for?" Qin Shiou asked.
Brandon said, "it means that the express company hired a life Secretary for you. You need to book air tickets, car tickets, hotels, concerts, etc. as long as you give her a call, she will do it for you. In other words, what do you want to consult, stock market trends, current events, news, etc. give her a call and she will find the answer for you immediately. "
Qin Shiou smiled and said, "Wow, this is a good service. What else does she provide?"
Brandon smiled more recklessly and said, "you bastard boy, well, she will provide you with whatever you want. But I don't believe that a boy who doesn't dare to take the hot girl from the hunting party will do anything to his life secretary. "
Finally, he said, "don't blame me for not reminding you that although the express company is rich and powerful, the life secretaries they employ are very deep, and their voice may be beautiful, but if you meet, you know it's scary!"
Qin Shiou hung up the phone and smiled at Auerbach next to him: "look, I spent all my money to scare the Americans. Will * * * call me later?"
Auerbach said: "I don't know if * * * will call you, but I think the mayor of St. Johns will call you."
Qin Shiou was just joking. When Auerbach said this, he asked, "what do you mean?"
Auerbach handed Qin Shiou a copy of the Shenggang economic news. There was a news on it. It said that Qin Shiou, the owner of the Chinese fishery, had made special contributions to the local economic construction and was awarded the Tula Reeves award in the first half of the year.
The Tula Reeves award was first established in 1987. It is a somewhat ironic award.
In 1987, the United States suffered a major economic crisis. As an important economic partner of the United States, Canada was naturally affected. Newfoundland was the second largest in Canada because it was close to the United States and had many transactions with Massachusetts, and Quebec was the largest.
At that time, St. John's fishing ground was almost shut down, because almost all the accessories used by fishing boats here were imported from the United States. The factories in the United States were shut down. How could they replace the parts of fishing boats here?
Tula Reeves is an African American businessman who can mix well. He contacted the Soviet Union that has not disintegrated and opened a new road of machine parts.
In addition, as we all know, the Soviet Union also has a long coastline and is good at fishing boat construction. In this way, a large number of low-cost and durable Soviet fishing boats were introduced to St. Johns by Reeves, and then extended to the whole of Newfoundland.
In order to commend Tula Reeves for his contribution to saving the economy of Newfoundland, since that year, the St. John's government has set up an award, the Tula Reeves award, also known as the special contribution award for economic recovery, which is awarded every six months.
It is ironic to say that the establishment of this award is because if the Newfoundland fishing ground had rested that year, the COD resources might have been restored.
As a result, it was the great Mr. Reeves who helped to make a final blow to the fishery resources of Newfoundland fisheries: five years later, in 1992, the Canadian government had to close Newfoundland fisheries, one of the four largest fisheries in the world!
Qin Shiou can't manage this. Anyway, now he's going to win a prize. For immigrants, it's better to win a prize than not.
The Canadian government is still very efficient. On the day after the news broke out, as Auerbach said, Dennis o'keffer, mayor of St. Johns, called him to thank him for his contribution to the economic recovery of his hometown, and then invited him to participate in the award press conference held by the government for him.
Qin Shiou couldn't laugh or cry. Not to mention what o'keffer said about "contribution to his hometown", he only said that he spent only 30 million Canadian dollars to get the award. It's a little too powerless.
He knows that many cities in China are now engaged in real estate construction. It seems that any real estate developer can invest no less than 150 million yuan? This money can't afford to spend in China. When it comes to St. Johns, the mayor can give him an award.
This award is a real award. There is not only a press conference, but also the government awarded a ship as a bonus.
The ship is a fishing boat, belonging to tuna fishing boat, with a length of 11 meters, a width of 4 meters, a draft of 1.4 meters, a conventional speed of 14 knots and a maximum speed of 18 knots. It is equipped with 16 fishing rod sockets, a lifting machine at the bow and stern, and a diesel engine power of 380 kW.
In order to get the ship, Qin Shiou went to St. Johns at the end of July. He thought that since the government had prepared a press conference for himself, it must be a grand trip this time. At least the mayor had to accompany him all the way?
As a result, the mayor of St. John's, Mr. o'keffer, only issued him a framed certificate at the award ceremony, then shook hands to encourage him to do well, and then floated away without a trace.
As for the celebration dinner Qin Shiou is looking forward to? Sorry, no!
The ship was in Poseidon marine heavy industry group. It was Hanks brewer, the last customer manager who received him.
Hanks shook hands with him warmly and asked him if he wanted to get more ships. He was so impressed by Qin Shiou that he pulled back two ships not long ago. As a result, he invested tens of millions in the fishing ground. This is a big customer.
Qin Shiou couldn't stand the enthusiasm. He didn't stay in St. Johns. Anyway, there was no one to take care of the food. He took the tuna fishing boat back to the fishing ground, so his fishing boat had another boat.
What's the name of the ship? Qin Shiou scratched his head and called him bluefin tuna. As a result, when he signed up for the Bureau of ship statistics, people told him that his name had been occupied and he had to rename it.
When Qin Shiou scratched his head again, he simply named it "snowball". Come on, this time his pet began to have a boat.
Finally settled down, Qin Shiou's mobile phone rang again in the evening. This time it was Weill who helped him handle the wharf.
With the same words, weir congratulated him on his investment in the new fishing ground, and then invited him to his home.
Qin Shiou is very busy recently. How can he have time to be a guest? Fortunately, he had an explanation that Winnie went back to work. Next time she came back from leave, she must be a guest at Weill's house.
This can't be pushed off. After all, I promised weir that I would go to someone's house with Winnie.
Weir can only say regret. However, he is still asking whether Qin Shiou has got two more fishing grounds. Do you want to build a wharf? If they don't repair the wharf, they can do it regardless of the house or road surface
