Twelve hours after leaving St. Johns, at night, the Harvest entered the Cabernet Strait.

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

But driving a boat is different from flying. When you go from St. Johns to the Gulf of St. Lawrence, you first need to drive 350 kilometers along the southwest to reach Grisbey, which is the entrance to the Cabernet Strait.

Then, go directly north from Glesbey, and then go about 500 kilometers to officially enter the Bay of St. Lawrence.

The Harvest is an ordinary fishing boat with a speed of less than twenty knots. It is not as fast as a cruise boat or a trawler yacht. When you drive this boat, you can only sway slowly on the water.

After nightfall, Qin Shiou summoned the crew to the captain's office for a meeting.

The length of Fengcheng is fifteen meters. From this point of view, it can only be regarded as a small fishing boat, which is different from the Puhai fishing ferry that is often fifty or sixty meters away. However, Qin Shiou is a modern fishing boat built at a high price. It has an average length and a full three-story cabin in height.

From the outside, the Harvest is not long like most fishing boats, but like a cube with a high center of gravity. It floats on the sea like a tumbler and sways when the wind blows.

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

Moreover, the most dangerous thing for fishing boats after encountering wind and waves is not strong winds, but wave peaks. If a boat is too long and too short, it will fall between two wave peaks. The wave peaks exert force from different heights, which can directly impact a ship into two sections.

Fishing boats are not warships, and the steel plates are not strong enough, so it is a loss to encounter wave peaks.

In addition, this design also has the advantage of increasing crew activity space. Most fishing boat crew members can only live in the cabins under the deck, while the Harvest lives on the upper floor. The cabins below are all ice cabins, water storage rooms and storage compartments, so the space is larger.

Qin Shiou arranged for Shaq and Yan Gun to sleep on the first floor of the deck with six crew members. Each room was two people, and there were exactly four rooms. There were two large rooms on the second floor, three fishermen, and one with him and Evosen.

There is only one largest room on the third floor. It is just for dining room, conference room and event room.

Although the harvest number is only 200 tons, it is actually designed according to ocean fishing boats, which can go deep into the sea to fish.

However, the rated crew of this ship is ten, and now it has exceeded three people, so it can only be like this, which is not a big deal.

The sea breeze was relatively strong at night, and the howling wind blew the fishing boats and swayed on the sea. Except for Shaq, working 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, which is to catch lobsters and queen crabs. If there is a school of cod, you can also take the opportunity to catch a batch, and then talk about the profit distribution issue.

There are generally two ways for fishermen to work on fishing boats. One is investment type, paying part of the cost of going out to sea and depreciation of ships, and it is considered as if you have invested in the stock. You can distribute it according to the stock dividend; the other is working type, where the captain spends money to hire. How much is the salary a day, then the harvest from going out to sea has nothing to do with the fishermen.

Fengchenghao adopts a compromise profit distribution method. As long as he goes overseas, each person can get a basic salary of 200 yuan every day. In addition, he will also give 28% of his final income as a bonus and give it to ten people. As for how to distribute these ten people, it is the smoke gun to be responsible, and they trust the smoke gun.

These issues have been negotiated before boarding the ship. What Qin Shiou had to do is emphasize it again to prevent some people from not having the spirit of contract and saying more after they get it.

After saying that, Qin Shiou asked the fishermen to talk about their opinions.

The fishermen whispered for a while, and finally let the smoke gun act as the representative: "We are completely satisfied, boss, this is a very reasonable price. I hope we can get more fishing catches this time."

Speaking of this, Qin Shiou was full of confidence. He had the consciousness of the sea god in his hand. If he could not return with a full load, no one could make money in the Bay of St. Lawrence.

After the issue of profit distribution was discussed, Qin Shiou asked Yiwasen to send everyone the prepared crew manual, and he emphasized the rules on the ship.

Seeing this crew manual, the group was stunned because the first one reads: Completely obey the captain's resolution!

Look at the second article: You must obey the captain’s resolution!

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

The crew members were stunned. When Yan Gun saw such crew rules for the first time, he stuttered: "Ship, ship, captain, what does this mean?"

Qin Shiou shrugged and said relaxedly: "It's what you see. If you choose to go to my fishing boat, you must fully comply with my instructions and no doubts are allowed. Do you have any questions?"

A bearded man stood up and was about to speak, Yan Gun waved his hand to sit down, sighed and said, "No, we don't, boss, we totally believe you."

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

Qin Shiou asked them to see that the final facts would prove everything anyway. He did not allow anyone to challenge his authority, but before the steel facts happened, these people were allowed to doubt his ability.

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

Qin Shiou laughed. The boy found the only loophole in the rule. He nodded and said, "Yes, I am not a tyrant. I accept the doubts, but you can only question me, and cannot resist my orders. This is the bottom line!"

As soon as he said that, the bearded man who had just stood up and was pressed down stood up again, and asked in a rough voice: "I want to know, boss, where will we cast a net? How many times have you been to the Bay of St. Lawrence?"

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

"But I think I'll know now. I think we, as your helpers, are qualified to know!" said the bearded man excitedly.

Qin Shiou said: "This is what you think, not the fact. OK, crew, go and have a rest. Today's meeting will end here."

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

So, the fishermen did not move, and were all watching Qin Shiou.

The bearded man said, "Boss, we are all brothers, we know each other well. No one will tell you the address you selected for the lower cage, so you should be able to tell us with confidence."

The fishermen nodded together and stared at Qin Shiou, including the smoke gun. (To be continued)
