Chapter 424

Twelve hours after leaving St. Johns, the harvest entered the Cabot Strait at night.

In fact, from the straight-line distance, St. John's is not far from St. Lawrence Bay, separated by an east-west length of Newfoundland, up to 400 kilometers.

However, sailing is different from flying. When you go by water from St. John's to St. Lawrence Bay, you first need to drive 350 kilometers southwest to grisby, which is the inlet of Cabot Strait.

Then, go straight north from Glasberg and officially enter St. Lawrence Bay after about 500 kilometers.

Fengshou is an ordinary fishing boat with a speed of less than 20 knots. Unlike the cruise boat or the seagull trawler, it can speed up and soar. Driving this boat can only walk slowly on the water.

After nightfall, Qin Shiou called the crew to the captain's room for a meeting.

Fengshou is 15 meters long. From this point of view, it can only be regarded as a small fish boat, which is far from the Puhai fishing boat, which is often 50 or 60 meters long. However, Qin Shiou is a modern fishing boat built at a high price. It is of average length and has a full three-story cabin in height.

From the appearance, Fengshou is not like a long strip like most fishing boats, but like a cube with a relatively high center of gravity. It floats on the sea like a tumbler, swaying when the wind blows.

But this is a fishing boat made of the latest shipbuilding technology. It is a tumbler. Although it is easier to shake than ordinary fishing boats, it has strong ability to withstand wind and waves.

Moreover, the most dangerous thing for a fishing boat after encountering wind and waves is not the strong wind, but the wave peak. If a ship is too long and too low, once it falls between two wave peaks, the wave peak can directly impact a ship into two sections from different heights.

Fishing boats are not warships. The strength of steel plates is not enough. They suffer a lot when they encounter wave peaks.

In addition, this design has another advantage, that is, it increases the crew activity space. Most of the crew of the fishing boat can only live in the cabin under the deck, while Fengshou lives in the upper layer. The cabin below is full of ice cabin, water storage room and storage bin, which has more space.

Qin Shiou arranged for shack and his cigarette gun to sleep in the room on the first floor of the deck with six crew members. There were two people in each room, and there were exactly four rooms. There are two big rooms on the second floor, one for three fishermen and one for him and Iverson.

There is only one largest room on the third floor, which is just used as a restaurant, conference room and activity room.

Although Fengshou has only 200 tons of specifications, it is actually designed according to the ocean fishing boat, which can go deep into the sea for fishing.

However, the ship's rated crew number is ten. Now it has overspent three people. That's the only way. It's not a big deal.

At night, the sea breeze was strong, and the roaring wind shook the fishing boat at sea. Except that Shaq worked in the cab, everyone else entered the restaurant on the top floor for a meeting.

Qin Shiou first introduced himself, then explained the goal of this voyage, that is to catch lobster and queen crab. If there are cod schools, you can also take the opportunity to catch a batch, and then talked about the problem of profit distribution.

There are generally two ways for fishermen to work on fishing boats. One is investment, which pays part of the sea expenses and ship depreciation expenses. When you become a shareholder, you can distribute it according to the share bonus; The other is the working type. The captain spends money on employment and how much money is paid a day. In this way, the harvest of going to sea has nothing to do with the fisherman.

Fengshou adopts a compromise profit distribution method. As long as it goes to sea, everyone can get a basic salary of 200 yuan a day. In addition, he will give 28% of his final income as a bonus to ten people. As for how to distribute these ten people, it is the cigarette gun that is responsible. They trust the cigarette gun.

These issues have been negotiated by both parties before boarding the ship. What Qin Shiou needs to do is to emphasize again to prevent some people from saying more after harvest without the spirit of contract.

After that, Qin Shiou asked the fishermen to talk about their opinions.

The fishermen discussed in a low voice for a while, and finally let the cigarette gun speak as a representative: "we are completely satisfied, boss. This is a very fair price. I hope we can get more fish this time."

Speaking of this, Qin Shiou is full of confidence. He has the big bug of Poseidon consciousness. If he can't return with a full load, no one can make money in St. Lawrence Bay.

After the discussion on profit distribution, Qin Shiou asked Iverson to send the prepared crew manual to everyone. He stressed the rules on board.

The crew were stunned when they saw this crew manual, because the first article said: fully obey the captain's decision!

Look at Article 2: you must obey the captain's decision!

Article 3: fully and must accept the first and second fishing boat rules!

The crew were silly. When they saw such crew rules for the first time, they stammered: "ship, ship, Captain, what does that mean?"

Qin Shiou shrugged and said easily, "what you see is that you must fully comply with my instructions when choosing my fishing boat. Do you have any questions?"

A big beard stood up and was about to speak. He waved his cigarette gun and motioned him to sit down. He sighed and said, "no, we don't, boss. We completely believe you."

Although they said so, they obviously didn't think so. They all looked at Qin Shiou with questioning eyes.

Qin Shiou let them see. Anyway, the final facts will prove everything. He doesn't allow anyone to challenge his authority, but before the iron and steel facts happen, they are allowed to doubt his ability.

When announcing the adjournment of the meeting, a clever young man asked, "boss, can we ask you the answer when we have questions?"

Qin Shiou smiled. The boy found the only loophole in the rules. He nodded and said, "yes, I'm not a tyrant. I accept questioning, but you can only question me, not resist my orders. This is the bottom line!"

As soon as he spoke, the beard who had just got up and was pressed stood up again and asked in a rough voice, "I want to know, boss, where will we cast a net? How many times have you been to St. Lawrence Bay? "

Qin Shiou smiled and said, "I haven't been there many times, but I know enough about it. As for the place where shrimp cages are deployed, you will know when you get to St. Lawrence Bay. "

"But I want to know now. I think we, as your helpers, are qualified to know!" Beard said excitedly.

Qin Shiou said, "this is what you think, not the fact. Well, crew, go and have a rest. That's all for today's meeting."

Other fishermen obviously have this question. After all, they account for 20% of the profits and bonuses. The final catch is closely related to their income. In their eyes, Qin Shiou is a local tyrant and doesn't care about income. They depend on income to support their family. They must care about this.

Therefore, the fishermen didn't start and were looking at Qin Shiou.

Bearded said, "boss, we are brothers. We know each other well. No one will tell us the cage address you selected, so you can rest assured to tell us."

The fishermen nodded together and stared at Qin Shiou, including the cigarette gun.
