Chapter 895

In a small place like farewell Island, Qin Shiou's method of calculating time is festival.

After Thanksgiving, November will end, and after Christmas, this year will end.

Christmas is coming.

After Qin Shiou decided to buy a large fishing boat, he immediately contacted Poseidon heavy industry. To build a new 2000 ton integrated fishing boat, it would cost about $8 million, but the government would give a subsidy of $700000.

The Canadian government's subsidies for fisheries are very generous. The investment of qinshiou fishery in one year can be recovered by about one eighth only. In recent years, the economy has been poor. In the past, Canada's economic situation was good, and large tonnage ocean going fishing ships can receive one fifth of the subsidies.

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

Six months! At that time, when the fishing boat was built, it was estimated that it would enter the fishing ban in Canada!

The cigarette gun gave Qin Shiou an idea to buy a second-hand fishing boat. As long as you find the right person and check the fishing boat, the second-hand fishing boat is much more suitable than the new fishing boat.

This job needs an intermediary. Qin Shiou has browsed websites such as Canadian fishing boat net and North American ship net for several days. He has seen no less than 100 fishing boats, but he is not satisfied.

In fact, there are still a lot of fishing boats transferred in the past two years. It is difficult to do fishing, especially deep-sea fishing. Because of the severe international turmoil, offshore operations will encounter violence. As long as the fishing company encounters it once, it will bleed once.

The fishing boats Qin Shiou watched were either of inappropriate tonnage or too old and dilapidated. In short, Qin Shiou didn't see the right one since early December when he saw Christmas approaching. It was not easy to see a 1500 ton ocean going ship in Churchill port. As a result, I called and they just sold it

However, this period of time is not without harvest. Qin Shiou met some intermediaries on the Internet. He left telephone and demand information. Even if he had to pay additional intermediary fees, it would be appropriate as long as he could meet the right fishing boat.

At the end of mid December, Qin Shiou finally received a call from an intermediary named Harrison. When the phone was connected, he said enthusiastically, "Chinese Mr. Qin? Hello, nice to meet you. I remember you want a fishing boat of about 2000 tons, right? "

Qin Shiou said, "yes, it's about 2000 tons. I'm going to try the Pacific Ocean next year."

"Wow, that's a coincidence. I happen to have a friend who wants to transfer his fishing boat. It's definitely a good ship. It's just been launched for more than four years. It's called 'general Kristen'. You can search the Internet. It's definitely a good ship."

On the phone, Qin Shiou called Nelson in and asked him to check the general Kristen on the website of the Ministry of fisheries.

As the agency said, the ship was launched four years ago, and the number of trips to sea was not much. The captain took great care of the ship.

Judging from the tonnage and equipment information, this ship is also suitable, with a total of 2200 tons. Although it is nominally a tuna fishing boat, it can be converted into a trawler and purse seine fishing boat. It is very advanced, and it can catch squid and squid.

After reading the introduction, Qin Shiou was a little excited and asked, "what's the price of the ship?"

Intermediary Harrison said: "my friend wants to sell 4.5 million, but you know, as long as we talk, the price is not the point, isn't it? As long as my agency fee is OK, I can help you talk about it. "

The price is really not expensive. Qin Shiou said, "then send me the information of the ship and I'll think about it. OK?"

Harrison was warmly received: "if you are really interested, why don't you come and have a look? Or I'll let my friend go to your dock? We're in Halifax. You're in St. Johns, aren't you? We are very close and convenient. "

There is no better choice to deal with such enthusiasm. Qin Shiou readily agreed, so let's meet each other.

Harrison finally said, "Qin, we have to say in advance that such a large ship will burn diesel from Halifax to St. Johns. If the business is concluded, it is good. If you can't do this business, you'll have to pay half the gas bill, or you'll fly to Halifax. "

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

The other party immediately sent an electronic contract about the oil fee. Qin Shiou read the introduction of the ship on the website. It took less than five years to launch, no accident, few times to go to sea, and always bought insurance. It looked like a good ship, so he signed the agreement.

Halifax is the capital and largest city of Nova Scotia, the largest port city among the provinces along the Atlantic coast, 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 "northern gateway" of America.

From Halifax to the north, it was St. Johns. The other party was very sincere. A day and a half later, he called and said that the ship had arrived at St. Johns.

Qin Shiou took Auerbach, Shaq and others to the city port. He called big foot reyek in advance and told him to take friends who knew about large tonnage fishing boats and help him.

The party sailed to the port of St. John's and found the trace of general Kristen without much effort. The fishing boat was moored on the No. 2 Wharf, with black anti-corrosion paint on the surface. The winter sun shone on the ship, which looked very powerful and majestic.

Qin Shiou specially asked shake to drive a small boat past the big ship. He visually measured that the length of the big ship was between 80 meters and 85 meters. The maintenance was really good. There was no defect in the anti-corrosion paint, the ship body was smooth, and there was no accident and modification. From the appearance, Qin Shiou was very satisfied.

After landing, he called Harrison. Four or five well-dressed middle-aged people found them. The two sides shook hands and found the Lord.

These people are Italians. Harrison is in his forties. He is a smiling and friendly businessman. He has a straight suit and a windbreaker, like a salesman in an insurance company.

After meeting Qin Shiou, Harrison praised the general Kristen, saying that Qin Shiou found a bargain and bought a good ship that is absolutely rare in the market.

Qin Shiou was a happy man and said, "if the ship is really as good as you said, I won't bargain. It's 6.5 million. Can I take it?"

Harrison and several people in the company immediately laughed. A middle-aged man who claimed to be the captain in the introduction waved and said, "then come with me. You will be satisfied. I think the ship is perfect in any way!"

Just about to get on the boat, big foot reyek rushed over with his friends and called and asked, "Qin, where are you? Sorry, we're late. Well, if you say the name of the ship you want to buy, I'll let the people on the dock take me there. "

"It's general Kristen." Qin Shiou said.

As a result, as soon as he said the name, reyek was stunned and asked, "general Kristen? Sutter, are you sure it's the damn general Kristen?! "
