Chapter 556

Butler's seafood supply channels are all over the east coast of the United States, with New York as the core and radiating to the Atlantic coast.

He controls channels and has excellent communication skills. Naturally, Butler has no bad popularity in American circles. He has many friends in cities like Miami.

Qin Shiou is also more willing to choose Miami as the seafood sales channel, because it is Billy's hometown. Although their Odyssey marine exploration company does seabed salvage, they are all related to the ocean, and they have a good relationship with seafood merchants.

Butler and Qin Shiou discussed and found a suitable foothold in Miami, and then Qin Shiou transported seafood to Miami. Butler contacted major high-end hotels and restaurants for sales.

"Although I don't know enough about you, man, I must admit that you are a visionary guy. Look, the airport you built in winter is just in use now. It has played a great role! " Finally, Butler praised Qin Shiou with flying eyebrows, "tell me, man, did you intend to do this long ago?"

Qin Shiou said vaguely, "it's a little interesting, but I want to sell seafood to Ottawa, Toronto and Montreal. I don't want to fly so far."

Butler patted the table and shouted, "don't tease me, brother, Ottawa? Toronto? Montreal? no How can those rural areas eat seafood of your level? There, the price can't be raised at all. Your Haddock and green cod prices will be put at the same level. "

Qin Shiou was speechless. In the eyes of Americans, especially New Yorkers, the whole territory of Canada is rural.

Hearing the sound of Butler patting the table, the tiger and leopard at the door rushed in and stood beside Qin Shiou, eyeing Butler. They thought Butler was fighting with their father.

"OK, OK, babies, we are talking about things. Don't look at me like this, OK?" Butler quickly moved into the sofa. The tiger and leopard were ready to rush up at any time.

Qin Shiou pulled the two little guys onto the sofa and lay down beside him. He said, "let's do this. You contact the shipping freighter. I'll organize my fishermen to start working. Let's conquer the east coast of the United States together!"

Butler and Qin Shiou clapped their hands and said with a little regret: "unfortunately, WFE is only held once every six years and can only participate next year. Otherwise, our seafood will be transported directly to the WFE site and will certainly be popular!"

WFE is the abbreviation of the world fishery exhibition. It was established in 1973 and held every six years. After decades of development, it has become the largest and most influential commercial fishery Expo in the world.

There is a biennial European seafood Expo to be held this year. It will be held in the Convention and Exhibition Center in Brussels, the capital of Belgium, for three days. It is said that a total of 1600 manufacturers from 144 countries and regions have been invited to participate.

But Qin Shiou didn't want to go. He also went to study with the crown prince. Europeans seem generous. In fact, they look stingy, open and conservative. This seafood Expo is held for European Seafood Exporters and fishing and breeding companies. It is difficult for foreign seafood to get high praise here.

After negotiation, we will start work immediately and do what we say. To do business, we must have such an aggressive spirit.

Of course, this is only in Butler's eyes. In Qin Shiou's heart, how much seafood is sold in the fishing ground is not very important. Anyway, he is not short of money.

What attracts Qin Shiou is only a reputation, a reputation of Daqin fishing ground to the whole North America.

More than a year ago, the silly Qin Shiou came here with an inheritance book and inherited his grandfather's fishing ground. He still remembered what Auerbach said. He said he could restart the glory of Daqin fishing ground and bring Daqin fishing ground back to life.

Now, Qin Shiou will do so.

The fishermen were excited when they learned that the fishing ground began to catch fish on a large scale. Yes, they were employed by Daqin fishing ground to get wages, but according to the rules of the fishing ground, they had dividends as long as they began to produce fish.

For Qin Shiou's forthright, the fishermen have experienced it deeply. They also know how the fishing ground catches. When these are combined, it is no problem to get tens of thousands of dividends every month!

Qin Shiou thought that he would just drive the harvest to catch. As a result, the fishermen were busy and began to prepare things. All kinds of fish, shrimp and crabs, fruits, bonfires and tables in the basin looked like they were going to have a dinner, not going to sea.

Shack explained to him: "before the beginning of the fishing season in the fishing ground, sea sacrifices are carried out, because the fishing grounds in Canada are taken over from the Indians, and some Indian customs have been inherited."

After understanding, Qin Shiou laughed. Damn it, he thought Canadians pay attention to science. In fact, it is the same all over the world. There are always superstitions left.

Seeing Qin Shiou's disapproval, shack said seriously, "no, boss, we are not superstitious, but to express our respect and awe for the ocean. Moreover, "God governs the sky and the earth, and the sea and the nether world are still blank." the Bible cannot be wrong. "

Shaq is also right. The mysterious temper of the sea is what fishermen fear most. It's always good to keep in awe of it.

Sea sacrifice, also known as fishing sacrifice, is inherited from the bivosuk Indians in Newfoundland, that is, the Red Indians in the American population. Among their people, the fishing festival is second only to the harvest festival.

According to the Red Indian customs, fishing activities are often held after weddings and funerals. Later, it developed into sea sacrifice to start fishing activities, and the harvest festival represents the end of fishing activities. It is said that after the British landed in Newfoundland, the Red Indians sincerely invited them to participate in these festivals many times.

It's ironic that the British exterminated the indigenous people, but inherited some of their customs.

Shack told Qin Shiou about the process of sea sacrifice. In fact, it was very simple. It was not as complicated and serious as the Red Indians.

In the past, when Red Indians held sea sacrifices, they first set up continuous tents at the mouth of the sea, and the whole family had to migrate. Then he picked up the large stones near the coast to make an altar. The priest carefully placed the sacrifices and fishing tools on the altar, worshipped the sea god and said prayers.

After the completion of the sea sacrifice, the heads of the bivosuk people will accept the priest's instructions, sort out their equipment and look for a fishing ground for fishing.

They want to live overseas for three days and two nights. Women are forbidden to go aboard, and they are forbidden to eat food brought from land. They only carry fishing tools and fresh water on board, and then they use local materials to eat sashimi at sea. Finally, they return with harvested aquatic products.

Sea monsters, smoke guns and bulls took people to lift the wooden table onto the deck of Fengshou. Bonfires were lit on the beach. Offerings such as cod, lobster and queen crab in the basin were placed on the wooden table, and Fengshou left the port.

The sea sacrifice begins, and the fishing season also begins!
