As the fishing ferry drove forward, the island's appearance became clearer and clearer, but Qin Shiou's passionate heart became colder and colder.

He originally thought that this fishing ground would be a paradise, but what he saw was a deserted island of a fairly size.

From the boat, there are also some bungalows and buildings on the island, but the number is sparse. Auerbach said that it was to say goodbye to the town. Qin Shiou felt that the town might have a population of two villages in his hometown, and the number was estimated to be less than 2,000.

Because of early spring, this small island, which is not far from the Arctic Circle, is still in a winter climate. The island is full of unmelted snow. In addition, there is a small snow mountain that occupies half of the island, which is covered with snow.

There are six or seven small marinas around the island. Without exception, these marinas are messy and dirty. A large number of broken fishing nets are entangled on the reefs on the shore, and small fishing boats with rough work are docked at will.

But Auerbach is right. The air here is very fresh. After getting used to the faint fishy smell of the sea, it does have a sweet smell.

"Damn it, it's original." Qin Shiou said with a wry smile.

His fishing ground is at the southernmost end of the island. A circle of maple trees of varying lengths surrounded a manor. It covers an area of ​​not small, with a total area of ​​more than ten square kilometers, or more than 100,000 acres. If it were valuable in China, it would be a pity that this is Canada, and it is estimated that the cheapest land price in the world.

When I arrived at the fishing ground, Qin Shiou was unable to move in because the houses inside had not been cleaned up for a long time.

Auerbach sent him to rest in a small hotel with ancient style and charm in the small town, saying that he would take him to file taxes and complete the procedures in the afternoon.

Qin Shiou was exhausted and got up in bed when he arrived at the hotel.

In his dream, Qin Shiou was dreaming of riding on a luxury cruise ship and holding the beauties of all nations, someone woke him up. When he opened his eyes, he found that he was Auerbach's majestic old face.

"I'll sleep for a while and I'm so sleepy." Qin Shiou held the pillow and refused to let go.

Auerbach smiled, took out his Nokia large-screen mobile phone and showed him a photo. The photo was a beautiful woman with gentle eyes and a smile. It was the flight attendant who comforted Qin Shiou on the plane before.

"You're taking a sneak shot?" Qin Shiou shouted.

Auerbach shook his head and said, "You will know that when I reach my age, a young man, a woman is like a bone! But I believe this photo can cure your bed."

Indeed, Qin Shiou woke up when he saw the gentle and beautiful female flight attendant.

Auerbach explained: "You need jet lag now, so you can't sleep during the day, and you can endure it even if you're sleepy. At night, I swear to God that you will adapt to the time in Canada in the future."

Qin Shiou scratched his head and smiled embarrassedly: "Mr. Auerbach, I don't think it's necessary. Haha, my, haha, I plan to sell this fishing ground and bring cash back to China."

"Sorry, young man." Auerbach did not despise him after hearing his words, but laughed. "It seems that you did not study your grandfather's will seriously. His will state one thing: the fishing grounds must not be sold. If you insist on selling, the St. Johns government will forcibly nationalize it!"

Qin Shiou suddenly became messy. Second Grandpa, what are you kidding? Are you really planning to let your unpromising grandson inherit your mantle? Then you have to see if your eldest grandson has the ability and talent!

Auerbach encouraged: "Come on, young man, your grandfather and I are close friends. He told me that he is optimistic that you will definitely turn this fishing ground into a world-famous super fishing ground in the future, and you can regain the glory of the Newfoundland fishing ground."

Qin Shiou was mourning, and ten thousand grass and mud horses whizzed by in his heart: He thought I was useless!

"Let's go, let's go to the tax bureau in the town to confirm the tax you want to pay." Auerbach finally gave Qin Shiou a heavy blow, letting him know that there will be no pies falling from the sky, only iron discus falling!

"I still have to pay taxes? When I was in China, I asked you, you said there is no inheritance tax in Canada!" Qin Shiou shouted.

Auerbach laughed and said, "Yes, Canada does not have estate tax, but there is probate tax."

Will taxation refers to the fact that once a person who makes a will dies, his will has the legal effect to deal with his estate. Although the executor legally has the right to handle the estate based on the will, when transferring assets such as investment or real estate, the will usually need to be verified by the court, an authoritative body, and this verification requires a fee.

Auerbach told Qin Shiou that the tax rate standard in Newfoundland Province is that the inheritance is more than 25,000 yuan, and 14,000 yuan will be charged for every 1 million yuan, 28,000 yuan, and so on. In other words, Qin Shiou has to pay a will-based tax of 520,000 Canadian dollars, which is converted into RMB, 3 million!

Qin Shiou was furious and shouted: "You lied to me!"

Auerbach said in a deep voice: "You can give up on this fishing ground and you will receive a 12.8% subsidy from the government, which means you can actually get a lot of money."

"But," he turned his mind and stared at Qin Shiou and said, "Do you know how the Daqin Fishery was built? It's your grandfather, a yellow-skinned foreigner who, under the rolling eyes and oppression of countless people, used his wisdom, tenacity, hard work and vision to earn it! Child, your grandfather is the most upright man I have ever seen! Do you understand what I mean? Don't slander such a man!"

Qin Shiou said: "Do you think I want to embarrass him? But I spent less than 20,000 yuan on my body, and my family only had 200,000 yuan at most. How can I pay three million yuan in taxes?"

Auerbach sat next to him and said, "This tax is actually nine years late. Even if it's nine years later, it doesn't matter. Do you understand what I mean? You have enough time to make money from the fishing ground!"

Qin Shiou is not a coward. Since there is still a glimmer of hope, why not give it a try?

The town tax bureau only had to work in one, three or five years. Auerbach asked, saying that the town was not well managed and the government could not pay wages, so he could only reduce the working hours of civil servants to reduce their wages.

Qin Shiou was so amused that the Canadian leaders seemed to have a hard time, which made him feel a little worried about the future of his fishing ground.

Auerbach drove his Ford classic car around the town, taking Qin Shiou to familiarize himself with the environment, and also to relax.

After twisting and turning, the car drove to a lake. The ice surface of the lake melted for a while. The lake water was extremely clear, and some floating ice cubes were like mirrors.

The lake has beautiful scenery, green water plants, white ice cubes, and sometimes water birds fly around with their wings, and fish jump out of the water, beautiful and rich.

Auerbach introduced: "People only know that there are many lakes in Ontario, but in fact, there are many lakes in Newfoundland. This small lake is called Shenbao Lake. It is said that some people once sank many treasures in it..."

"I really want to jump down and take a look." Qin Shiou said depressedly.

At this time, a fishing boat slowly paddled over, and a short and strong middle-aged fisherman waved to Auerbach and said, "Hi, Mr. Squareman, are you and your friends coming to Shenbao Lake to shoot fish? Come on, let's go together."

Anyway, Auerbach took Qin Shiou onto the fishing boat and introduced: "Shooting fish is an event that has only emerged in North America in recent years. Come on... Oh, damn!"

Before he could finish his words, the fishing boat alarmed a big carp that was one meter long under the water. The carp was frightened and jumped. It jumped up and hit the three people on the boat off guard. The fisherman and Auerbach subconsciously avoided it, while Qin Shiou stood at the stern of the boat, and was swept on his face by the tail of the palm-fried fish, and directly swept into the lake.

"Save people quickly!" Auerbach shouted anxiously.

The carp's tail was very rough, and its tail thorns were as sharp as a knife, which suddenly cut through Qin Shiou's chin.

Qin Shiou felt like he was hit by a car, so he made a fancy turnover and fell into the water. No one noticed it. At this moment, the blood from his chin happened to drip on the heart of the sea god that was thrown out from his chest!

While falling into the water, Qin Shiou felt a blue sky in front of his eyes, as if he was not entering the clear green lake water, but the sea. The lake water poured into his nose, and he even smelled the fishy smell of the sea water.

Then he saw that the heart of the sea god floated in the water, and the blue light in his eyes was emitted from the heart of the sea god!

The blue light flashed and, in front of Qin Shiou, the heart of the sea god turned into a thick blue light and penetrated into his body!

Qin Shiou was pulled onto the fishing boat, with a dazed expression, because a trance scene appeared in front of him:

The water was rippling, the seaweed swayed, and several catfishes, which were slapped in their palms, happily emerged from the mud at the bottom of the lake, and then opened their mouths and happily searched for food and crushed algae from the mud. In addition, when he looked up, he saw a shuttle-shaped object floating above his head - isn't this the fishing boat he is currently riding on?

But, what's going on? How could he see the scene at the bottom of the lake and even feel the catfish's mood?!
