Golden Fishery

  Twelve hours after leaving St. John's, Harvest entered the Cabot Channel at night.

  In fact, from a straight-line distance, St. Johns is not far from the Gulf of St. Lawrence, separated by a length of Newfoundland Island from east to west, at most 400 kilometers.

  But sailing is different from flying a plane. From St. Johns to the Gulf of St. Lawrence by water, you first need to drive 350 kilometers southwest to Gris Bay, which is the entrance to the Cabot Channel.

  Then, go straight north from Glas Bay, and after about 500 kilometers, you will officially enter the Gulf of St. Lawrence.

  Fengshou is an ordinary fishing boat with a speed of less than 20 knots. Unlike a cruise boat or a seagull trawler, which can speed up and speed, the boat can only be swayed slowly on the water.

  After nightfall, Qin Shiou summoned the crew to the captain’s room for a meeting.

The length of the   Fengshou is 15 meters. From this point of view, it can only be regarded as a small fishing boat, which is different from the Puhai fishing boat, which is 50 or 60 meters long. But Qin Shiou is a modern fishing boat built at a high price. It is of average length and has three floors of cabins in height.

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

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

  And the most dangerous thing after a fishing boat encounters wind and waves is not the high wind, but the wave crest, if a boat is too long and too short. Once it falls between two wave crests, the wave crests exert force from different heights, which can directly impact a ship into two sections.

  The fishing boat is not a warship, and the steel plate is not strong enough. It is a disadvantage to encounter waves.

  In addition, this design has another advantage, that is, it increases the space for crew activities. The crew of most fishing boats can only live in the cabin under the deck, and the Harvest is on the upper deck. The cabins below are all ice cabins, water storage rooms and storage silos, with more space.

  Qin Shiou arranged for Shake and the smoke gun to sleep in a room on the first floor of the deck with six crew members. Each room has two people, and there are exactly four rooms. There are two large rooms on the second floor, one for the three fishermen, and one for him and Ivorson.

  On the third floor, there is only one largest room, which is used as a restaurant, meeting room and event room.

  Don’t look at Fengshou’s specification of only 200 tons. In fact, it was designed in accordance with ocean-going fishing vessels. Can go deep into the sea to fish.

  However, the rated crew of this ship is ten people, and now it’s over budgeted by three people, it can only be done like this, it’s not a big deal.

  At night, the sea breeze is relatively strong, and the howling wind blows the fishing boat swaying at sea, except for Shaq who works in the cab. Everyone else entered the restaurant on the top floor for a meeting.

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

  There are generally two ways for a fisherman to work on a fishing boat. One is the investment type, where you pay part of the cost of going to sea and the depreciation of the ship, and you can distribute it according to the dividend when you have a stake; the other is the part-time job. The captain spends money to hire. How much a day’s wages are, then the amount of harvest from going out to sea has nothing to do with the fisherman.

  Fengshouhao adopts a compromised profit distribution method. As long as you go to sea, each person can get a basic salary of two hundred yuan per day. In addition. He will also give out 28% of the final income as a bonus to ten people, as to how the ten people will be divided. That's the smoker, they trust the smoker.

  These issues have been negotiated by both parties before boarding the ship, what Qin Shiou has to do is to emphasize it again to prevent some people from losing the spirit of the contract, and then say more after the harvest.

  After speaking, Qin Shiou asked the fishermen to discuss their opinions.

  The fishermen discussed in a low voice, and finally let the smoke gun speak as a representative: "We are completely satisfied, BOSS, this is a very fair price. I hope that we can get more fish when we go to sea this time."

  Speaking of this, Qin Shiou was full of confidence, and he had the big bug of Poseidon consciousness in his hands. If he couldn't return home with a full load, then no one would be able to make money in the Gulf of St. Lawrence.

  The problem of profit distribution was over. Qin Shiou asked Ivosen to send the prepared crew manual to everyone. He emphasized the rules on board.

  Looking at this crew manual, the group was stunned, because the first one said: Completely obey the captain’s decision!

  Look at the second article: you must obey the captain’s decision!

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

  The crew were dumbfounded. The smoke gun stammered after seeing such crew rules for the first time: "Ship, ship, captain, what does this mean?"

  Qin Shiou shrugged and said relaxedly: “It’s what you see. When you choose to get on my fishing boat, you must follow my instructions completely. No doubts are allowed. Do you have any questions?”

  A bearded man stood up and was about to speak, and he waved his cigarette gun to sit down, and sighed: "No, we don't, BOSS, we trust you completely."

  Although they said that, the group obviously didn't think so in their hearts, and they all looked at Qin Shiou with questioning eyes.

  Qin Shiou let them see, anyway, the final facts will prove everything, he does not allow anyone to challenge his authority, but before the steel facts happen, allow these people to doubt his ability.

  When the meeting was announced, a clever young man asked: "BOSS, when we have questions, can we ask you for answers?"

  Qin Shiou laughed. The kid found the only loophole in the rules. He nodded and said: "Yes, I am not a tyrant. I accept doubts, but you can only question me instead of resisting my orders. This is the bottom line!"

As soon as he spoke, the bearded man who had just gotten up just stood up again and asked roughly, "I want to know, BOSS, where are we going to cast the net? How many times have you been to the Gulf of St. Lawrence? "

  Qin Shiou smiled and said: "I haven't been there many times, but I know enough about it. As for the place where shrimp traps are deployed, you will know this after you arrive in the Gulf of St. Lawrence."

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

  Qin Shiou said: "This is what you think, not the fact. Okay, crew, go and rest. That's it for today's meeting."

  Other fishermen obviously have this question, after all, they have 20% of the profit bonus, and the final catch is closely related to their income. In their eyes, Qin Shiou is a local tyrant and doesn't care about income, but they rely on income to support their family, and they must care about this.

  So, the fishermen did not leave, they were all looking at Qin Shiou.

  Bearded said: "BOSS, we are all brothers, we know each other, and no one will tell us your chosen drop-off address, so you should be safe to tell us."

  The fishermen stared closely at Qin Shiou, including the smoke gun. (To be continued~^~)
