Chapter 554

    Leatherback turtles are back. Is that summer far away?


    Qin Shiou thought optimistically, turned around, hugged Weini and stroked her smooth skin, and the beautiful night began.


    May day is an international labor day, but it has nothing to do with Canada.


    Canada''s Labor Day is not on May 1, but the first Monday in September every year. It is also the labor day in the United States.


    When Qin Shiou came back in the morning, he turned on the TV to watch the news. He wanted to learn from Winnie and get in touch with the outside world through the news. He couldn''t always live in his own small fishing ground.


    As a fishery owner, Qin Shiou doesn''t even know the Minister of Fisheries of the country. Qin Shiou thinks he needs to reflect. In the past year, he lived in the fishery. Nominally, he was enjoying life. In fact, he closed his communication a little.


    But the morning news was not interesting. It was painful to introduce labor day there. It turned out that some employees in Toronto held a demonstration and asked Canada to implement the rules of labor day on May 1.


    Qin Shiou thought it was inexplicable. What''s the difference between labor day and Christmas.


    Looking down, he can see that most people in Canada are immigrants. Their previous countries celebrated labor day on May Day. In this way, labor day is a rest day. They can take the opportunity to go back to their hometown to visit their relatives or pick up their relatives and friends for reunion.


    But now the labor day rest day in Canada is different from that in most countries. Many people can''t get together with their friends and relatives, so they can''t get together.


    Canada is a young country. Many festivals are slowly formed later. However, labor day appeared earlier and was born in 1894. This festival was really won by workers themselves.


    As early as 1872, printing workers in Toronto went on strike, hoping to work 54 hours a week. At that time, according to the order of the governor of Canada, any trade union organization was regarded as illegal, and the trade union organizers would be put in prison.


    This aroused the anger of the workers. More than 10000 workers held demonstrations, forcing the then Prime Minister john-a. - MacDonald - to repeal the anti trade union law and release the trade union organizers.


    The workers'' struggle was not over. They held a second general strike and demanded the adoption of the nine hour working system. The government resolutely disagreed, and the workers fought resolutely. The struggle lasted a long time and finally turned into an annual campaign.


    In 1894, John Thompson, then Prime Minister of Canada, simply designated the first Monday of September as labor day, because workers would hold a parade on this day every year for many years.


    After learning some secret stories about Canadian labor day and international labor day, Qin Shiou decided to turn off the TV. He knew more about Canada. However, it seemed to be useless. He still didn''t know who the Deputy Minister of Fisheries was.


    According to the agreed time, the catch will be produced in May. Butler gives him a result. If Butler is willing to be a distributor, Qin Shiou will deal with the catch to him. If he is not willing, he will start to expand from the seafood market in St. Johns.


    In the morning, Qin Shiou was eating fruit to watch the replay of NBA. The tiger and leopard suddenly roared outside the door.


    He thought Butler was coming, but when he went out, he saw several unknown whites standing outside the gate, with good temperament, not like salesmen.


    After whistling, the tiger leopard closed his mouth and ran behind him with his tail. Qin Shiou greeted him and asked, "Hi, gentlemen, are you?"


    The leading middle-aged white man warmly held out his hand and asked, "Hello, we are from the Netherlands and are the staff of the van Gogh Museum. Are you Mr. Qin?"


    "Yes." Qin Shiou shook hands with him and wondered why the people in the van Gogh Museum came to him.


    However, out of politeness, he took the four people into the villa and brought them coffee.


    The leading white man introduced himself and said, "I''m very presumptuous to disturb you, Mr. Qin. I''m drabody Yang Barker, curator of the van Gogh Museum. These are my colleagues. We specially come to visit you."


    Qin Shiou was full of fog, so he introduced himself and asked what the purpose of these people was.


    Buck didn''t answer his question directly, but praised his fishing ground. Qin Shiou smiled bitterly. Do these people in the van Gogh Museum want to make a painting based on their fishing ground? This is OK. If the painting is good, he can also spend money to buy it, mount it and hang it on the wall.


    The Dutch circle around, and Qin Shiou also follows. Anyway, this is his home. He has plenty of time.


    From fishing grounds to sports, from food to customs, these Dutch still haven''t cut into the subject.


    Later, Qin Shiou was impatient. Buck finally talked about the point and asked, "Mr. Qin, do you have a painting by Mr. Van Gogh《 Sunset in monmaru? "


    Hearing this, Qin Shiou suddenly flashed a flash of lightning in his mind. He suddenly remembered that little black seemed to have told him that the van Gogh Museum in the Netherlands had sent someone to contact him and hoped that they would donate Van Gogh''s paintings to the museum and return them to their original owners.


    Qin Shiou didn''t take it to heart at that time. Now when he saw these people, he suddenly remembered and asked subconsciously, "I do have this painting, but you don''t intend to persuade me to donate it to you?"


    Buck smiled, "no, how could it? That picture is yours now. How can we let you donate it to the museum for free? Well, we want to buy that painting. The price is negotiable. "


    Qin Shiou is a little embarrassed. He came to buy the painting, but he has promised to sell it to Alfred, and the transaction has reached the payment stage. It seems that it''s not good to ask for the painting back?


    Seeing that Qin Shiou didn''t speak, Buck thought he was waiting for his quotation and said, "Mr. Qin, can you quote the price? If we can, we''d like to take that picture back. "


    Qin Shiou had to ask, "how much are you going to pay?"


    Buck said tactfully, "our museum is mainly public welfare, so the profitability is not very good and the capital is not very abundant - what do you think of five million Canadian dollars?"


    Qin Shiou blinked foolishly and asked, "how much do you say? Five million? Or Canadian dollars? "


    Buck smiled and said, "yes, this is the most money we can use. I know the price is unreasonable, but I hope you can make some contributions to public welfare and send the sunset of monmaru home so that more people can see Mr. Van Gogh''s great creation."


    Qin Shiou is a little speechless. I''m a layman. When did you tell me about public welfare? If I really do public welfare, I''ll do it too. There''s no problem in donating, but you want me to sell you $5 million worth of oil paintings. Is that a little disrespectful to me?


    Qin Shiou felt that little black was in a better position at that time. He would rather these people not make an offer and directly said that they wanted to donate the painting for the sake of feelings. This offer lost both feelings and profits
