Catch the sea: start with a sand shovel and take over the entire beach

Kent asked Zhao Qin if he was interested in salmon fishing, which surprised Zhao Qin.

"Zhao, I have figured out this time I am sick. I am already over 50 years old. For other professions, my age may not be a big deal.

But I am too old for a fisherman.”

"Are you planning to sell the boat to me?" Zhao Qin frowned slightly. He really had no plans to develop here. After all, it was too far away.

"No, if it's just about selling the boat, Zhao, you're not the ideal candidate."

Without waiting for Zhao Qin to ask, Kent said, "Zhao, how about we play a big game?"

"Tell me more specifically."

"I can help your fishing company gain a foothold in Anchorage, or even in Port Hayden. I have connections there. You know, that's an important port of call for crab boats in the Bering Sea.

I mean, I need the fishery company's shares here, and I think 5% is a reasonable amount.

As for fishing boats, I think a 30% stake is more reasonable.”

Kent finished speaking and glanced at his daughter, "These shares will all belong to Lydia."

Zhao Qin understood that Kent was paving the way for his daughter. He felt sorry for all the parents in the world.

He thought about it, nodded, and said, "Kent, what you said is very attractive, but I need to discuss it with my partner."

"of course."

After returning to the hotel from Kent's house, Zhao Qin was thinking about what he had talked about that night.

It would be a lie to say he wasn't moved.

Let’s not talk about how high the annual sales of salmon are. The annual sales of king crabs are astronomical figures.

Of course, he also understood that he could not monopolize the market, but as long as he could get one tenth of the market share, it would be an endless gold mine.

It is true that making money is addictive.

If Zhao Qin had just come into this world two years ago, he might have been content with a small fortune, but things are different now.

When my net worth was calculated in billions, I found myself becoming more and more agitated.

Of course, he also understood that as a foreigner, the Americans would never allow him to participate in these industries, so he needed a few white gloves.

Kent obviously understood this, so he proposed cooperation.

Zhao Qin needed Kent's white identity and his local network, while Kent needed Zhao Qin's funds.

As for why Kent chose Zhao Qin to cooperate, the reason was also very simple. If he cooperated with a local, he was afraid that he would be kicked out accidentally. As long as Zhao Qin did not become a naturalized citizen,

Then you will never be able to kick yourself out.

It was more convenient this time. I changed my phone card right here. As for Apple's new phone, to be honest, the experience was just average. After all, he had experienced the era of the smartphone explosion.

The functions of Apple phones are just like that now.

He took out his cell phone, called Yu Fa Ke, and told him about Kent's proposal tonight. "I think it's quite reliable. Why don't you discuss it with Uncle Han?"

"Does that mean we have to organize a fleet ourselves?"

"I don't need a fleet, I'll mainly focus on harvesting. But the gold rush season is over and it's the crab season. If I can't do it then, I'll buy a boat and try it for a season."

"Okay, if I have time, I'll go over there too."

The two chatted for about half an hour. Yu Fako wanted to hang up, but Zhao Qin mentioned another matter, "Ako, I don't have enough funds."

"You... you idiot, tell me, how much is left?"

"I'll use S&P shares as collateral, and you can lend me $5000 million. I'll pay you back in October, and the interest rate will be based on the Federal Reserve's rate. How about that?"

"Oh, that's not bad, how about you borrow more?"

Zhao Qin rolled his eyes. The current interest rate of the Federal Reserve is about 3.7%, which is almost as high as loan sharking. "According to the domestic bank interest rate, I will borrow million US dollars."

"Go away. I'll have York arrange it for you tomorrow and put it directly into your account."

"It's not cute at all. Brothers can still be so clear about things." After hanging up the phone, Zhao Qin complained.

He was indeed short of money. He didn't touch much of the money he had at home, and invested almost all of it in the film and television city.

As for all the investment funds, none of them have reached the time to reap the profits, unless he sells Apple's stock now.

But Apple's share price has been rising all the time, and now it is difficult to find shares circulating in the market, so it will be difficult to sell them and buy them again.

Anyway, I already owe A Ke more than 100 million US dollars. What does it matter if I owe tens of millions more? Too many lice won’t itch, and too many debts won’t worry.

The next morning, he got up and went downstairs to eat. He saw Li Gang holding a ham with a hesitant look, "What are you doing?"

"Aqin, now I truly understand how delicious white rice porridge is."

Zhao Qin couldn't help laughing out loud, "Let's just make do with it. When we get to Klondike, we can cook it ourselves and it will be better."

Not to mention Li Gang, he himself actually can't get used to it.

Early in the morning, there was dry bread, ham, and even lumps of reindeer meat, but none of them seemed to have anything to do with breakfast.

After dinner, Lydia came again and drove them around Anchorage.

Anchorage is the largest city in Alaska and also the most important port city. More than 90% of Alaska’s imports and exports rely on the port here.

The city is generally flat, without too many tall buildings. When driving on the road, you can see snow-capped mountains in the distance, giving people an extremely dreamy feeling.

In the afternoon, Joey finally arrived.

"Boss, are you sure you want to go to Klondike now?"

"Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and contact a helicopter, a bigger one. Including you, there are seven of us."

Zhao Qin recruited a group of scavengers from the mainland, but they have not arrived yet. They have to wait until Zhao Qin sets up the framework, and then they can come and scavenger directly.

He and Li Minghui negotiated a monthly salary of 5000 yuan, plus a collective dividend of 10% of the total income, which was considered a fairly high salary in 07.

"Boss, if you need to use a helicopter often, I suggest you just buy one."

Zhao Qin was stunned. Oh, that’s right. Why didn’t he think of buying one? Renting one for a few days would cost hundreds of thousands of US dollars. It was extremely expensive.

"How to sell it?"

"It depends on what you buy. The cheapest four-passenger light helicopter is about $80.

If you want something better, it will cost about $12 million, the kind that can seat people, the luxury business version.”

Joey didn't mention the specific brand because he knew that even if he did, Zhao Qin wouldn't understand it.

Zhao Qin nodded slightly, "Okay, then order a bigger one. The tens of thousands of acres of land will need to be mined for at least a few years. We need to find a place that can be used.

But now distant water cannot quench immediate thirst, hurry up and rent one, we are going to the Klondike."

Joey shrugged. "I've already made the arrangements before I came here. We'll leave tomorrow morning. The cost will be the same as last time."

"Good job, old Joe."

Joey was stunned. Old Joe? What kind of address is that? His Chinese was barely passable, far worse than York's.

The next morning, everyone boarded the helicopter with their luggage at the helipad on the rooftop of the hotel.
