After waking up the next day, Qin Shiou almost forgot what happened last night, and remembered that he was fed miserably in the bar, and later it seemed that he even invited a very tall guy to dinner.

The sea god's energy is a good thing. Last night, he became drunk and woke up, and Qin Shiou became fierce again.

Winnie was also cooking porridge for Qin Shiou in the kitchen, but the latter ran around outside and came back sweating profusely to take a shower. She looked more energetic than Winnie who woke up early.

During breakfast, Winnie said, "I still can't forget it now. That big guy was so edible last night. How many pizza did he eat? Ten? Fifteen?!"

Qin Shiou had a vague impression, but he didn't remember it very clearly, so he said casually: "It's really a great appetite. Shaq will come later and ask who that guy is."

Shaq drove the truck to the fishing ground with the sea monster. Qin Shiou asked him about his work plan. The sea monster said, "It's nothing today. I plan to go to the St. Johns market and assemble two small boats."

Qin Shiou nodded and said, "Yes, we need to buy a boat, but before buying a boat, do we need to repair the dock?"

The fishing ground wharf is a common high pile wharf, composed of foundation piles and superstructure. The lower part of the pile is driven into the seabed and the upper part is higher than the water surface. Then, steel beams are used as skeletons, wooden boards are laid on top, and all the way into the ocean.

A high pile dock has an advantage. It adopts a transparent structure, and waves and water flow can pass under the dock, which has a low impact resistance to the waves, which can save materials and be simple and reliable.

However, this kind of wharf is not very safe. The foundation piles penetrate deep into the sea water and are affected by waves and sea water. After a long time, problems such as rot and fragmentation will naturally occur.

Especially when Daqin Fishery used carbonized tree trunks at that time, instead of the commonly used prestressed concrete pipe piles, the safety was greatly reduced.

In addition, this pier is only more than 20 meters deep into the sea water, and Qin Shiou thought the pier was a little small.

"BOSS, are you planning to repair the dock?" Shaq asked with interest.

Qin Shiou nodded and said, "And I plan to build a gravity dock."

After hearing this, Shaq and the Sea Monster took a breath.

Gravity wharf is a traditional wharf, which is land reclamation and extends part of it directly from the land to the depths of the ocean. Because this wharf is maintained stable by the weight of the building's own weight and the filler weight of the structural range, it is called a Gravity wharf.

Although this kind of wharf is an old-fashioned wharf, it is actually very expensive and requires a large amount of cement brick and steel main frames. It is equivalent to manually extending the land into the ocean, all filled with materials. There is no such long wharf in the island yet.

The advantage of gravity dock is that it has good structural integrity, is strong and durable, is easy to repair after damage, and is safe and convenient.

"How long are you going to repair one?" Shaq asked.

Qin Shiou had already considered it before and said, "How about twenty meters?"

Shaq breathed a sigh of relief and said, "According to the depth of the ocean at our dock and was transformed on the original dock, I estimate that the 20-meter gravity dock will take about 400,000 to 500,000 yuan to be built."

"I have to build a hundred meters." Qin Shiou added.

Shaq and the sea monster's faces turned green. The one hundred-meter gravity dock, which is one hundred meters extending into the ocean, is enough even if it is stationed in a 10,000-ton giant ship!

"Don't do this, BOSS, a one hundred-meter gravity dock is not as simple as twenty meters times five. It needs, it needs, it needs a lot of money!" Shak exaggeratedly spread his arms and drew a big circle, "There is no need for this kind of dock in our fishing ground!"

Qin Shiou smiled and said, "Do you need to worry so much? The 100-meter long dock I mentioned is not a gravity dock. Just use prestressed concrete pipe piles to make high pile docks."

Shaq and the sea monster laughed and said, "That would cost a lot of money, and our fishing grounds don't need such a long dock."

Qin Shiou felt that there must be such a dock. He opened a fishing ground not a small fuss. He had the cheating device of the sea god consciousness. He planned to turn the farewell island fishing ground into the world's number one fishing ground!

After a rough understanding, Qin Shiou put this matter on the agenda and asked Shaq to go to the construction team. Shaq said with a headache: "We have to go to St. Johns to find the guy Bigfoot. He knows many people and can help."

Anyway, Qin Shiou made a quick decision and took Winnie and Shaq to St. Johns.

On the boat, Qin Shiou remembered the giant he met last night and asked, "Shake, is there a guy two meters tall in the town?"

Shaq smiled and said, "There is such a big man, but he shouldn't be in town now, what's wrong?"

Qin Shiou said in confusion: "No, I met him last night, he was definitely more than two meters tall."

The sea monster nodded and said, "You are talking about Evosen."

"Yes, that's the name." Qin Shiou suddenly remembered the name the food store owner called the giant last night, "Who is he?"

Shaq and the Sea Monster didn't seem to want to talk about this person very much. They shrugged and muttered, "I'm not very familiar with him," and pretended to be busy.

Qin Shiou wanted to chase and asked, but Winnie pulled him and whispered: "Forget it, they don't want to say it, forget it. By the way, don't you think this name is weird? Ivosen? Is it Evil-son?"

Newfoundlands respect their fathers very much, so many people will add a ‘son’ to their father’s name after their names.

For example, Shaq's name is Shaq Sardinson, and the "Sardinson" means "Sardinson", which means Sardinson. There is also Dad Hickson who runs a restaurant, whose name means "Sardinson".

And if Evason is Evil-son's spelling method, it is the "Son of Sin"!

Qin Shiou didn't think anyone would name the Son of Sin, just like the Chinese wouldn't name themselves "Crime".

Qin Shiou drove a trawling yacht to St. Johns. His yacht was brand new, and the exquisite piano paint reflected the sunlight, making the entire yacht look like the Sun God warship. When entering the pier, many ship owners whistled.

Bigfoot Reyek was waiting for the group on the shore. He was very efficient in his work. He was surrounded by a tall and thin black man. After Qin Shiou got ashore, he introduced: "This is sir. He has a construction team, which is specifically responsible for building the docks. You can have a good chat."

The two shook hands. Although Weir was a black man, he was very well-educated. After bowing slightly, he said, "Boss Qin, I am the chief engineer of the Weil Construction Group. You can ask, our construction group has a good reputation. If you trust us, then I have to go to your fishing ground to see the situation first, and then give you a design information and a quote."

Qin Shiou trusts Shaq very much, and Shaq trusts Reyek very much. He doesn't need to use anyone, but he doesn't doubt it. Qin Shiou told him the location and gave him Nelson's phone number, asking him to go to the fishing ground to find Nelson.

Today's main task is to buy boats. Reyek's "Viking Fishery Store" could not afford this task, so the group went to the Free Market in St. Johns.

The free market is a landmark existence of St. Johns. It is located along a bay coast in the southwest of the small town. This market is not a vegetable market composed of small stalls and vendors. It is full of large shops selling fishing boat accessories and sea fishing goods.

"Look at the boat first." Qin Shiou said, "Buy two open first boats or deck boats, and you can drive them out at sea. It is fast, fuel-efficient, and very cool."

The sea monster said, "I can assemble this, boss, what style do you like?"

Generally speaking, if yachts are classified according to their length, less than six meters are mini boats, six to eleven meters are small boats, between eleven and twenty meters are medium boats, and more than twenty meters are large yachts.

As for the luxury yachts commonly found in the movie, they are almost forty meters away. Now Qin Shiou doesn't consider buying this thing, he has not been so profitable.

The open first boat is a motorboat that can be rode for four to eight people. It is suitable for racing, fishing and towing water skiing. It is mainly used for entertainment activities.

There is no main cabin under the head deck of this dinghy, and the front deck in front of the driver's platform is made into an open groove, which can be arranged for extra seats for a ride or sunbathing, and of course, fish can also be loaded.

One advantage of opening the first boat is that if you are riding at sea, people sitting in the groove seat in front of the bridge will feel like they are riding on the top of the waves and enjoy the pleasure of riding the wind and waves.

The sea monster introduced: "The boat is generally divided into four design styles. The Italian and Cromian style is also called romantic style, which reflects luxury and elegance; the American style is called free style, which pays great attention to personalized design; the British style is called aristocratic style, which reflects the traditional and elegant aristocratic atmosphere everywhere, and then the Southeast Asian style that has appeared soon, which is simple, generous and affordable."

Qin Shiou thought for a while and said, "Buy two ships in the first boat, one in the Cromian style and the other in the Southeast Asian style."

Cromian-style boats can go out to sea fishing, while Southeast Asian-style boats can go out to sea to check the fish situation.
