The Ministry of Fisheries attaches great importance to this fishery auction, because it is a pilot project. If it succeeds, it can be promoted so that fish farmers can earn more money, so that more people will engage in fish farming.

   Therefore, it is Matthew King who is presiding over the auction this time, and the Minister of Canada personally took part in the battle.

Sometimes Qin Shiou feels that the lives of high-ranking officials in these countries are not very easy. As the saying goes, "Life is like people drinking water, knowing how cold or warm they are." People from the outside world can open or close the entire Canadian fishery when they see Commander Matthew King. Several fishing grounds have caused thousands of people to be unemployed or employed, but who knows the pressure he is carrying?

  Meeting with Matthew Jin this time, after a year, Qin Shiou felt that Mr. Minister's old age was more obvious, and the crow's feet in the corners of his eyes became much deeper.

  In contrast, Qin Shiou’s life is much better. Like idle clouds and wild cranes, the fishery is a cornucopia, constantly making money for him.

   And if he is short of money, he can go to the bottom of the sea to find a sunken ship. There is still a golden ship in the process of salvaging. Once it is salvaged, his assets can be broken again.

  Matthew-Jin has nothing to think about the development of Canada’s fisheries. What about Qin Shiou? What he considers is what to eat tonight and where to accompany his daughter to play tomorrow...

  After the meeting, Matthew King did not say much to him. The two shook hands and separated. Qin Shiou was then pulled into the crowd by Donald and the familiar fisherman.

  There are a lot of people participating in the auction this time, there must be two hundred small people, and the venue will be full. These people vaguely formed two groups, one is dominated by the Gulf of St. Lawrence, the other is around the North Atlantic Ocean.

  After Qin Shiou arrives. Donald pulled him away, but then a fisherman from the Gulf of St. Lawrence came to him to chat with him. The topic started with the movie that Director Cameron was going to make this time.

  The protagonist of this movie is the archetype of Daguan Qin, which is something he is very proud of. Three years ago, he didn't dare to think that one day he would become the prototype of Hollywood's top directors.

  Of course, he did not dare to imagine that he would be so popular in a foreign country. At the auction site, almost everyone wants to make friends with him, and his popularity is even higher than that of Fisheries Minister Matthew King.

  Donald said to him jealously: "You have become a heartthrob, man, fortunately we are not holding a PARTY, otherwise I think you are the emperor of the prom here."

  Qin Shiou asked easily: "Then am I fascinated by you?"

  Donald chuckled and said slyly: "If you are willing to sell me a batch of Atlantic cod, **** and haddock fry, then I will definitely be fascinated by you."

  Same as his goal. Other people contacted Qin Shiou to get his fish, shrimp and crab fry.

  Since last year, the international seafood industry has not been able to do well. Canada’s fishery is one of the country’s pillar industries. Fishery owners rely on foreign exchange to make money. Almost everyone here is in export business.

  However, the global economy is sluggish. The sales of marine products in Canada have been declining repeatedly, worrying fishermen.

  This is also related to the positioning of the Canadian government. Because it is close to the Arctic, the seawater in Canada, whether in the North Atlantic or the North Pacific, is less polluted, while fish, shrimp and crabs in cold waters grow slowly, are nutritious, and taste good.

  For this reason, Canadian marine products are graded according to high-end grades. As the economies of various countries become more and more sluggish, the sales capacity of high-end seafood is gradually declining, and it is the fishery owners who ultimately suffer.

   Valuable seafood such as geoduck, snow crab, treasure crab, Arctic ginseng, white ginseng, etc., in the first decade of the 21st century. Canada’s annual exports are calculated in units of 100 tons. Now it is not easy to export a few hundred tons a year.

  This year, the demand for Maine lobster exports has increased sharply. However, because of the lobster Kivella, the lobster catch in Canada has dropped sharply, and even the domestic market cannot supply it. Who is going to export?

  The reason why Qin Shiou gets so much attention is that his situation is different. When the big guy's seafood couldn't be sold, he created a Daqin brand of high-end seafood, which is still super high-end, and it is not worried about selling it. Doesn't this make people envy and hate?

  The fishery owners present are all brainy people. They know that jealousy is useless, so they do everything possible to make friends with Qin Shiou, hoping to get his help to sell their seafood in the Daqin brand.

  They have calculated that even if they only sell half the price of the fish caught in Daqin Fishery, they can make a huge profit!

  After almost everyone came, Matthew King announced a meeting. The first part is free to ask questions. Fishery owners can ask questions about policies and the current seafood trade situation. They can also raise good suggestions and discuss them together.

  Donald was very positive and seized the first opportunity to speak. He directly fired at Minister Matthew: "Mr. Minister, we want to know that the cod and tuna fishing season is coming soon. Can we increase our quota this year?"

In order to protect the sustainable development of fisheries, Canada is more cautious in terms of seafood fishing quotas. It will calculate a more appropriate value based on the fishing and sales of the past five years, and then reduce this value conservatively, and finally allocate it. It is everyone’s fishing quota.

  The fishing grounds are better. Those fishing boats that go out to sea need to buy a fishing license, and this license has a catch standard, and it is not allowed to exceed it. Therefore, how much money a boat can make at sea can almost be calculated in advance.

  Matthew King was silent for a moment, and said, “What if the fishing quota is increased? Do you think the market can eat so many fish, shrimps and crabs? If you can’t eat them, what do you plan to do? Reduce the price?”

  "This is a matter of the country. We are fish farmers, not in import and export trade." Someone said angrily.

When someone complained, others followed, and the venue suddenly became noisy. In the past two years, most of the fishery owners lost money instead of making money. They were suffocated and had the opportunity to attack the Minister of Fisheries. Who didn't let go Complain?

  Qin Shiou crossed his hands and said nothing. In this case, he is better not to blend in.

But at this time, as a central figure, it is impossible for him to stay out of the matter. Matthew King turned the topic directly to him and said: "I know that many fishermen here lose money, but why can a young fisherman make money? , You old fishermen with full experience, but can't make any money?"

  Hundreds of eyes converged on Qin Shiou, Qin officials smiled and nodded to the surroundings, and in their heart he cursed the old man Matthew-Jin for not being loyal, because he was hung over the fire and roasted.

  Fortunately, he prepared the barbecue in advance, so he can escape: "I want to thank someone..." (to be continued~^~)
