The Ministry of Fisheries attaches great importance to this fishery auction because it is a pilot. If it is successful, it can be promoted and allowed fishermen to make more money, so that more people will engage in fishery breeding will be more.

Therefore, Matthew King, the one who came to host the auction this time, personally took the initiative.

Sometimes Qin Shiou feels that the lives of these senior officials in the country are not easy. As the saying goes, "Life is like drinking water, and you know the warmth and coldness." People outside the world can open or close several fishing grounds with a command, causing thousands of people to be unemployed or hired, but who knows the pressure he is under?

This time I met Matthew Jin. After a year, Qin Shiou felt that the minister was older and the crow's feet at the corners of his eyes became much deeper.

In comparison, Qin Shiou's life was much better. Like a wild cloud and wild crane, the fishing ground was a treasure pot, making money for him continuously.

If he is short of money, he can go to the seabed to find a sunken ship. Now there is still a golden ship being salvaged. Once it is salvaged, his assets can be broken through again.

Matthew King usually has nothing to do to consider how Canadian fishery develops. What about Qin Shiou? He is considering what to eat tonight and where to play with his daughter tomorrow...

After meeting, Matthew Jin didn't say anything to him. The two shook hands and separated. Qin Shiou was then pulled into the crowd by Donald and his group of familiar fishermen.

There were many people participating in the auction this time, and there must be two hundred people, which would fill the venue. These people vaguely formed two groups, one mainly consisted of the Gulf of St. Lawrence and the other around the North Atlantic Ocean.

After Qin Shiou arrived, Donald pulled him away. But then the fishing owner from the Bay of St. Lawrence came to him and talked about it. The topic started with the movie Director Cameron was going to make this time.

The prototype of the male lead in this movie is Qin Daguanren, which is something that he is very proud of. Three years ago, he dared not think that he would become the prototype of the filming of the top Hollywood director one day.

Of course, he didn't dare to imagine that he would be so popular in a foreign country. At the auction site, almost everyone wanted to make friends with him, and his popularity was even greater than that of Fisheries Secretary Matthew King.

Donald said to him jealously: "You have become a heartthrob, man. Fortunately, we are not holding a party, otherwise I think you will be the dance emperor here."

Qin Shiou asked relaxedly: "Then have I fascinated you?"

Donald smiled and said sly: "If you are willing to sell me a batch of Atlantic cod, pollock and haddock fry, I will definitely be fascinated by you."

Like his goal, others contacted Qin Shiou, and also wanted to get his fish, shrimp, and crab seedlings.

Since last year, the international seafood industry has been difficult to do. Canadian fishery is one of the national pillar industries. Fishery owners rely on foreign exchange to make money. Almost everyone here does export business.

However, the global economy is in a sluggish state and the repeated declines in sales of marine aquatic products in Canada have made fishermen worried.

This is also related to the positioning of the Canadian government. Because it is close to the Arctic, the seawater in Canada is lightly polluted, while fish, shrimp and crabs in the cold waters grow slowly, are rich in nutrients and have good taste.

Therefore, Canadian marine aquatic products are all 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 the fishing owners are ultimately losing.

For example, precious seafood such as geoduck, snow crab, treasure crab, Arctic ginseng, and Pernix ginseng. In the first decade of the 21st century, Canada's annual export volume was calculated based on 100 tons. Now it is not easy to export a few hundred tons a year.

This year, the demand for lobster exports increased sharply, but because of the lobster Kiffrazia, the number of lobster fishing in Canada has dropped sharply, and even the domestic market cannot supply it. Who will still export it?

The reason why Qin Shiou is so concerned is that his situation is different. When everyone’s seafood cannot be sold, he created a high-end brand of seafood from Daqin brand, which is still super high-end, and he has no worries about selling it at all. Isn’t this envious, jealous and hateful?

The fishing owners present were all smart people. They knew that jealousy and hatred were useless, so they tried every means to make friends with Qin Shiou, hoping to get his help and put their seafood into the Daqin brand to sell.

They have all calculated that even if they only sell half of the fishing catch in Daqin Fishery, they can make a lot of money!

After almost the same people came, Matthew King announced the meeting. The first part was to ask questions freely. Fishermen can ask questions about the policies and the current seafood trade situation. If you have good suggestions, you can also give them a discussion together.

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

In order to protect the sustainable development of the fishery, Canada is relatively cautious in seafood fishing quotas. It will calculate a more appropriate value based on the fishing and sales situation in the past five years, and then conservatively reduce this value. Finally, the fishing quota will be allocated.

The fishing grounds are better. Those fishing boats that go out to sea fishing need to purchase fishing licenses. This license has a fishing capacity standard, which is not allowed to exceed it. Therefore, how much money a ship can make at sea can almost be calculated in advance.

Matthew King was silent for a moment and said, "So what if you increase the fishing quota? Do you think the market can eat so many fish, shrimps and crabs? If you can't eat it, what are you going to do? Reduce the price?"

"This is a matter for the country. We raise fish, not for import and export trade." Someone said angrily.

As soon as someone complains, others will follow, and the venue suddenly becomes noisy. In the past two years, most of the fishing owners have lost money rather than making money. They are full of anger and have the opportunity to attack the Minister of Fisheries. Who is not complaining about letting go?

Qin Shiou crossed his hands without saying anything, so he would not interfere in such occasions.

But at this time, as a core figure, it is impossible for him to stay out of the matter. Matthew King directly shifted the topic to him and said, "I know that many fishing owners here have lost money, but why can a young fishing owner make money, and you experienced old fishing owners can't make money?"

Hundreds of eyes gathered on Qin Shiou. Qin Master nodded to the surroundings with a smile, and in his heart he cursed Matthew-Jin, the old man who was unkind and was hanging him on the fire to roast him.
