In the morning, Qin Shiou waved goodbye to Powell and other children and sent them to the school bus. When they came back, the phone rang.
After he answered the phone call from Brandon, he asked at the beginning: "Qin, you are crazy, you spent 30 million in a week?! It must not be true, it is a problem with our bank network, right? "
Qin Shiou smiled and said, "Relax, man, I'm just doing business. The 30 million must be spent, so I can't put it in your bank for worms, right?"
Brandon smacked his lips exaggeratedly. He and Qin Shiou talked for a while before they came to the formal: "Okay, man, your consumption reached 50 million Canadian dollars within a year, so American Express will provide you with A service manager."
"Why is this used?" Qin Shiou asked.
Brandon said: "It is equivalent to the American Express company hiring a life secretary for you. You have to book air tickets, train 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 affairs news, etc., give her a call, and she will immediately find the answer for you and tell you."
Qin Shiou laughed and said, "Wow, this is a very good service. Does she provide anything else?"
Brandon smiled more brazenly and said: "You bastard, well, she will provide you what you want. But I don't believe it, a girl who dare not take away the hot girl from the Lieyan PARTY What will you do to your life secretary."
Finally, he said, “Don’t blame me for not reminding you. Although American Express has a lot of money, the life secretaries they hire are very bad. The voice may be more beautiful, but if you meet, you will know it. It’s scary!”
Qin Shiou hung up the phone and smiled at Auerbach next to him: "Look. I have spent all my money that has alarmed the Americans. Will Obama call me later?"
Auerbach said: “I don’t know if Obama will call you, but I think Mr. Mayor of St. John’s will call you.”
Qin Shiou just made a joke. Hearing what Auerbach said, he asked: "What do you mean?"
Auerbach handed a copy of the "Holy Port Economic News" to Qin Shiou. There was a news report saying that because the Chinese fisherman Qin Shiou made a special contribution to the local economic construction, he was awarded the Tula Reeves Prize 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 encountered a major economic crisis and became an important economic partner of the United States. Canada is naturally also affected. Newfoundland is the second most affected in Canada because it is close to the United States and trades with Massachusetts, and the largest is Quebec.
At that time, the fishing grounds in St. John's were almost shut down, because almost all the accessories used by the fishing boats here were imported from the United States, and the factories in the United States were shut down. How did their fishing boats replace their parts?
Tula Reeves is an African-American businessman. He was a very good guy. He contacted the Soviet Union, which had not yet disintegrated, and opened up a new path for machine parts.
In addition, as we all know, the Soviet Union also has a long coastline, which is very useful for the construction of fishing boats. In this way, a large number of low-cost, durable Soviet fishing boats were introduced to St. John's by Reeves, and then spread to the entire Newfoundland.
In order to recognize Tula Reeves’ contribution to saving the economy of Newfoundland, starting that year, the St. John’s government set up an award, the Tula Reeves Award. Also called the Special Contribution Award for Economic Recovery. It is awarded every six months.
Said that the establishment of this award is somewhat ironic, because if the Newfoundland fishery recuperated that year, the cod resources might have recovered.
The result was the help of the great Mr. Reeves, who made the last major damage to the fishery resources of the Newfoundland fishery: five years later. In 1992, the Canadian government had to close the Newfoundland fishing ground, one of the world's four largest fishing grounds!
Qin Shiou can't control this. Anyway, now he is about to win a prize, and for immigrants, it is better to get a prize than without a prize.
The Canadian government is still very efficient. On the day after the news broke, as Auerbach said, the mayor of St. John’s Dennis O’Keefer called him and thanked him for his help. For his contribution to the economic recovery of his hometown, he was then invited to participate in the government's awarding press conference for him.
Qin Shiou is really dumbfounding. Let’s not talk about what O’Kaifo said about his “contribution to his hometown”. He only said that he only spent 30 million Canadian dollars to win this prize, which is a bit too weak.
He knows that many cities in China are now engaged in real estate construction. It seems that just a real estate company invests at no less than 150 million yuan, right? The money can't be used in the country, and when it comes to St. John's, the mayor can give him an award.
This prize is a real prize. Not only is there a press conference, but the government rewards a ship as a bonus.
This boat is a fishing boat, belonging to a tuna fishing boat. The length is 11 meters, the width is 4 meters, the draft is 1.4 meters, the regular speed is 14 knots, the fastest speed is 18 knots, and it is equipped with 16 fishing rod sockets, bow and stern. Each has a crane with a diesel engine power of 380 kilowatts.
In order to get the ship, Qin Shiou went to St. John's at the end of July. He thought that since the government had prepared a press conference for him, the visit must be very grand. The mayor should at least accompany him throughout the journey?
As a result, the mayor of St. John’s, Mr. O’Keefer, only issued a framed certificate to him at the award ceremony, and then shook hands to encourage him to work hard, and then drifted away without a trace.
As for the celebration dinner Qin Shiou is looking forward to? Sorry, no!
The ship was in the Poseidon Marine Heavy Industry Group, and he was received by Hanks Brewer, the customer manager last time.
Hanks shook hands with him enthusiastically, and kept asking him if he wanted to get a few more boats. He was too impressed with Qin Shiou. He only pulled back two boats not long ago, and ended up investing tens of millions in fishing grounds. Big customers.
Qin Shiou couldn't bear this enthusiasm. He didn't stay in St. John's. Anyway, there was no one to take care of the food. He took this tuna fishing boat back to the fishing ground, so his fishing boat had another boat.
What is the name of this ship? Qin Shiou scratched his head and just called the Bluefin Tuna. As a result, when he signed up for the Ship Statistics Bureau, he was told that this name was already occupied and he had to rename it.
Scratching his head again, Qin Shiou simply named the ‘Snowball’. Come on, this time his pet also started to have a boat.
finally settled down. In the evening, Qin Shiou’s phone rang again. This time, it was Weir who helped him get the dock.
Similarly, Weir first congratulated him for investing in the new fishery, and then invited him to be a guest at home.
Qin Shiou has been so busy recently, how can he have time to be a guest? Fortunately, he had an excuse, explaining that Winnie had gone back to work, and next time she came back from leave, she would definitely go to Weir's house as a guest.
This can’t be pushed away, after all, I promised Weir at the time that he would go to someone’s house with Wei Ni as a guest.
Weir can only say regrets, but he is still asking about it. Qin Shiou has got two fishing grounds here. Do you want to build a wharf? If you don’t repair the pier, they can do anything else, no matter the house or the pavement... (to be continued~^~)
