Golden Fishery

The call was from Yan Donglei, the president of the Newfoundland branch of the Canadian Chinese Mutual Aid Association.

When Qin Shiou answered the phone, Yan Donglei laughed heartily and said, "Xiao Qin, you are very popular recently."

Upon hearing this, Qin Shiou knew what it meant, and said with a wry smile: "The compatriots in China are too troublesome. Fortunately, I don't have Weibo, otherwise this guy will be in trouble."

The two chatted casually, and Yan Donglei expressed his intention: "Recently, there are several activities in our Chinese Mutual Aid Association. I don't know if you are interested. One is the anniversary of the September 18 Incident, the other is the Mid-Autumn Festival on the 30th, and One is National Day on October 1."

Qin Shiou didn't mind attending a few gatherings. It's always good to get to know some high-level people, but he was really embarrassed and said, "I have to go back to China for the Mid-Autumn Festival. I have to go home to accompany my parents during this festival."

The Mid-Autumn Festival is almost connected with the National Day. As long as he returns to China for the Mid-Autumn Festival, he will not be able to attend the National Day party.

Yan Donglei attached great importance to Qin Shiou, a young rich man, and asked, "Can you bring your uncle and aunt to Newfoundland? We have a lot of compatriots here, and the party is very lively."

Qin Shiou smiled wryly, and said: "I can't do this, Brother Yan, you may not know that my parents are very stubborn farmers, they have a feeling for the land at home that we don't understand, and they will never leave in autumn no matter what home."

This is very common in Qin Shiou's hometown. Many migrant workers will ask for leave during the autumn harvest to go home to do farm work. Even if all the harvest in the field is sold, it will not be worth their salary for the days of missing work.

Now that Qin Shiou said so, Yan Donglei had nothing to do. He said, "Are you interested in the 918 Memorial Day party? There will be quite a lot of compatriots attending."

Even if you are not interested, you have to participate, or you will refuse all three invitations. It's a bit too rude, so people won't take you to play when there are activities in the future.

In this way, Yan Donglei hung up the phone, and finally told him that he would send him an email, which contained an invitation letter and some precautions. Let him pay attention to check it.

After the noon break, Qin Shiou opened the email in the afternoon and looked at it. There was an electronic invitation letter in it, which needed to be downloaded, and then he had to scan the code to enter.

Another important thing to note is that there will be a charity event after this gathering. Everyone auctions something, and the proceeds are put into private equity funds in Chinese business circles to support the development of Chinese businesses.

Of course, there is no requirement for the auction item, it can be a piece of writing written by oneself. Or some gadgets you've collected.

At that time, no one will buy it at the auction, and you can just spend hundreds or thousands of dollars to buy it, which is considered a donation.

Qin Shiou and Wei Ni talked about Weir's invitation and the 918 anniversary party, both of which he had to bring a female companion, and Wei Ni needed to ask for leave.

Winnie said no problem, she is not leading all the groups now, she is mainly responsible for leading the group to St. Johns for purchasing and visiting the town.

After dinner, Winnie took the tiger, leopard and Xiong Da to the beach for a walk. Qin Shiou sneaked into the fishing ground with his sea god consciousness and turned around.

There is no problem with the development of the fishery, but the fish are still mainly concentrated in the waters of the Daqin Fishery, and there are still few fish in the other four fisheries. But they have already appeared. Qin Shiou instilled the sea god's energy into the seaweed in these fishing grounds. Only by developing the bottom of the food chain can a complete ecological circle be established.

Later, Qin Shiou suddenly realized that he had been too fruitful and lacked development in the recent period. So I controlled a white shark and a big blue marlin to attack southwest and southeast to see if I could find anything good.

September 14th. Qin Shiou took Wei Ni to Weil's house as a guest, which was an ordinary relationship. So no need to wear a dress.

Qin Shiou brought frozen turbot and queen crab as gifts, which are special products of the fishing ground. In addition, he knew that Weil had an eight-year-old son and a two-year-old daughter. Talk to Winnie. Winnie chose a set of Transformers toys for her child. Now that "Transformers" is on the air globally, the status of toys is also rising.

Weir drove his Chevrolet pickup truck to pick them up. This car is the second largest in the North American pickup truck market. The best seller is naturally the Ford F150, and it is next.

In the United States and Canada, the sales of pickup trucks are particularly good. When Qin Shiou visited places such as St. Johns and Montreal, the most cars he saw on the road were pickup trucks, not cars.

This is also related to the national conditions of Canada. This country is too vast, and many small towns are dotted with branches on a vast land.

In this way, for a Canadian resident who does not live in a city, life is a bit inconvenient. The nearest supermarket is usually 50 kilometers or even 100 kilometers away from home. If you don’t want to run long distances every day, every time you go shopping, it’s basically the same size as a small shopper, and it’s really hard to do without a pickup truck.

In addition, influenced by the pickup truck culture in the United States, Canadians also have a pickup truck tradition, and many families have pickup trucks passed down from their grandparents. This also affects their choice when buying a car. After all, both grandpa and dad drive pickups, and they also touched pickups when they were young, so why not buy a pickup?

Chevrolet is a very classic pickup truck, full of aggressiveness, nicknamed "Locomotive". In the promotional video, this truck is directly installed with an aviation turbofan in the cargo box, and then gallops in the Canadian ice field to show it That excellent to abnormal performance.

After getting in the car, Winnie chatted with Weir about the culture of pickup trucks. Qin Shiou couldn't talk about it. In his opinion, the most awesome car is a sports car, or else it's a luxury SUV. Pickup trucks are not his thing. .

But for Weir, pickup trucks are his favorite. After Winnie brought up the topic, he said enthusiastically: "Our Weir family started with a second-hand pickup truck. I still remember that my grandfather bought a pickup truck at that time. A Ford heavy-duty!"

"Heavy-duty? Oh, that's a classic good car. Weir, I have to admit, your grandpa bought a treasure. Popeye, that's Ford's first generation ace pickup, you can do everything with it .It uses a 95-horsepower 3.6-liter inline six-cylinder engine, right? My grandfather once had one, and he regarded it as a treasure." Winnie continued.

Weil nodded happily and said, "Yes, yes, Winnie, you are absolutely right. Just relying on that pickup truck, our Weil Construction Group started work, from delivering cement to people, to doing it ourselves, The grandson of a black slave slowly owns his own building complex."

"Legend, that's all I can say." Winnie nodded.

Weil laughed out loud. After arriving at his house, Qin Shiou felt that this guy could not wait to be married to Winnie as brother and sister of the opposite sex.

As for myself? Go where it came from, do you know Ford's first-generation and second-generation pickups? Do you know the road against the big three of Chevrolet, Dodge and Ford pickups? , I don't know... (to be continued)
