1863. Acquisition

I have been studying the map of the new book all afternoon. It is not easy to do. Fortunately, there is Google Maps, but it is still difficult to check. Please give me a recommendation ticket from my brothers and sisters to comfort me, thank you. ****

Qin Shiou did not expect that on the second day after he came to Fishing Ground No. 3, Charles Murray, one of the main leaders of the new generation of the Murray family, came to the door, and he was carrying a gift with a smile on his face, as if he was visiting the old man. friend.

But the two of them are not old friends, but old rivals, so the official Qin doesn't know what he wants to do. He never believes that this neighbor came to visit him and seek reconciliation. Both parties have direct interests. Conflict is doomed not to be friends.

In particular, the fishing grounds of the two sides are still adjacent to each other, so in the future, they will definitely make a big deal because of the ownership of the fishing resources. This is predictable, so it doesn't matter how good the relationship is now.

But since Charles came to the door with a gift, Qin Shiou wouldn't shut him down, and would not hit the smiling face with his hand.

He enthusiastically went up to accept the gift Charles brought, patted him on the shoulder vigorously and said, "You are so kind, my buddy, you are so kind. I don't know what to say, but anyway, I am very touched."

Charles smiled reluctantly, and said: "We are neighbors, man, isn't it normal for me to come and see you? There will be more opportunities for us to walk around in the future."

He said it politely, but he was actually scolding Qin Shiou in his heart, because the latter slapped him on the shoulder so hard that he felt that his shoulder blades were smashed!

Qin Shiou asked Charles to sit down after taking the gift, and asked him what to drink.

Charles smiled and said, "In this weather, let's have a glass of juice."

Qin Shiou shrugged and said helplessly, "Sorry buddy, I haven't bought any fruit when I first came here, so I don't have juice."

"Then a cup of coffee would be great too." Charles changed his choice.

Qin Shiou continued to shrug his shoulders, and said helplessly: "Sorry, buddy. The coffee machine is broken, and I can't grind the coffee beans, so I can't drink it."

The smile on Charles' face couldn't hold back. He said, "Whatever."

Qin Shiou laughed and said: "How can that be, you are a guest. How can I serve drinks to guests casually? You can order the same."

Charles asked, "What about the tea?"

"Do you want black tea, green tea or sweet tea?" Qin Shiou asked.

"black tea."

"sorry, we do not have that."

"Where's the green tea?"

"Sorry, there's no tea. I came here in a hurry this time, so I didn't bring any tea." Qin Shiou said embarrassingly.

Charles was almost pissed off by him. The veins on his forehead were throbbing. He gritted his teeth and said, "In this case, why do you ask me why I have black tea and green tea? Forget it, buddy. I don't drink anything. I'm not thirsty."

Qin Shiou looked very sincere: "No, there is no reason to let the guests sit dry? We Chinese are the most particular about hospitality. How about this? I have mineral water that tastes very good here. How about a glass of mineral water?"

Charles suppressed his impatience, forced a smile and said, "Of course, drinking mineral water is also good, please, Qin."

"It's nothing. I've said it all, we Chinese are the most particular about hospitality." Qin Shiou said boldly, and Charles kept cursing in his heart.

Qin Daguan brought gifts into the kitchen. Shaq asked, "Aren't we going a little too far?"

He was referring to Qin Shiou's verbal teasing of Charles just now.

Qin Shiou sneered and said, "No, what is this too much? I was judging just now. This grandson must have some evil intentions, otherwise he wouldn't be so good-tempered to cater to me."

He opened the gift box, and there were two statues inside, a metal fishing boat statue, painted with gold paint on the outside, looking graceful and luxurious. The other is a marble statue of Poseidon, the god of the sea. The stone statue of the Shanghai God is glaring with beard and blood, and the trident in his hand is pointing straight ahead. Bronze-hoofed gold-haired horses ride the waves, and the carvings are exquisite.

See this gift. Qin Shiou was even more puzzled. These two statues are very exquisite, and together they are worth more than one hundred thousand dollars. How could the Murray family be so generous to him? Could it be that they really came to seek reconciliation and cooperation? But that's impossible. The two sides have already fought each other with swords and guns in the seafood market. Everyone knows that there is no chance of cooperation.

He asked Shaq to clean the two statues and find a place to put them away later, then returned to Charles with two bottles of mineral water, handed him a bottle, unscrewed one and drank it himself.

Charles apologized to him first, and said: "I'm really sorry, Qin, I feel ashamed of what my guys did yesterday. They have such a bad sense of direction that they came to your fishing ground to catch fish. Please forgive them. "

Qin Shiou waved his hand and said, "It's nothing. Some misunderstandings are inevitable in life, right? And we are neighbors. It's okay to cross the border a little bit. Of course, I hope that we will set up a boundary buoy on the edge of the fishing ground in the future. It's better."

Boundary buoys are used by fishing grounds to demarcate boundaries. It is usually a long and brightly colored rope with plastic buoys floating on the water at a certain distance, so that the boundary line can be roughly distinguished.

However, this kind of buoy is not absolutely useful, because sometimes in the event of a storm or tsunami disaster, the buoy will be blown away. Even if there were no such disasters, the buoys would change positions under the blowing of sea wind and current for a long day.

Charles took a sip of water to moisten his throat, and he said, "Actually, Qin, maybe we have another solution. You see, our fishing grounds are adjacent to each other, so it is easy to have disputes over catches in the future, right?"

Qin Shiou nodded, this is indeed true.

Charles added: "I remember you Chinese have a very good saying that one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers, unless there is one male tiger and one female tiger. And the owners of our two fishing grounds are men, so if our fishing grounds are close together, it will Like two male tigers staying together, conflicts are inevitable."

Qin Shiou probably understood what he meant, and asked, "You mean, you plan to sell the fishing ground to me?"

Charles, who was drinking water, coughed, and he quickly waved his hands and said, "No, man, I mean, can you give up and sell this fishing ground to me?"

Qin Shiou actually understood what he meant just now, and he deliberately said that to provoke him, so after hearing what Charles said, he shook his head resolutely and said, "Sorry, Charles, you know we are very close, but this won't work. , I finally bought this fishery, and I don’t want to sell it.”

Charles still wanted to try his best to convince him, and said, "Let me be honest, Qin, when we bought the Carter Fishery, we thought that this sea area also belonged to the Carter Fishery, all the way to the St. Catherine River..."

"And then?" Qin Shiou asked with narrowed eyes.

Charles said frankly: "Then, our guys didn't do anything wrong yesterday. They thought this was our fishing ground site. Moreover, we invested in this fishing ground throughout last year, so you come to take it away now." It doesn’t seem good to set up a fishing ground and take away the fruits of our labor, right?” (To be continued.)
