Chapter 600: Speech at the Banquet
"Who's coming? Aha, it's our Mr. Governor! โ
Scott greeted two steps with a smile, and after greeting the governor's family, he led the family towards Qin Yi and the others who were waiting. { Sui } { Dream } Novel ัww{mะตng][lฤ}
But before he could introduce him, the governor spoke first: "Aha, this must be Mr. Qin!" Maybe I can call you Yi because it will be closer so that I can come and visit in the future, knowing that I have been salivating for the coffee at Sun River Ranch for a long time! โ
"Oh, Kowiron, shut up!"
The governor's wife was a short and fat elderly lady, wearing a big felt hat and a few splendid flowers on it, looking very happy, at this time, she seemed to be unable to stand the governor's self-familiarity, and complained helplessly, and then looked at Qin Yi and the others with a smile.
"If it doesn't seem rude to say that, I want to say, this old man is like this, you don't have to worry about him! Well, you can call me Aibo, just my little grandson Jamie Rei and granddaughter love Misha! โ
Qin Yi, as the head of the family, naturally introduced his daughter-in-law and Angel, and the two sides said hello again, which can be regarded as a formal acquaintance.
Governor Cowren glanced at the girls as if unintentionally, laughed and praised, "Wow, I saw a group of young and beautiful angels!" Yi, I'm a little jealous of you, what a good girl! Well, well, you too, stop pinching me! โ
The last sentence was said to his wife Aibo, which made Qin Yi and the others and the guests who came over couldn't help but laugh!
But Qin Yi was a little helpless about Mr. Governor's words and jealous of himself?
What a disrespectful guy for the old man, but, jealousy came a little early
Susa and Chlo couldn't help but roll their eyes at what they said, only Sara and the others were slightly embarrassed.
Fortunately, at this time, everyone's attention is more focused on the governor's family, the highest power figure in Montana. The ability to steal the limelight should not be underestimated!
Angel took her friends to play with the two new little ones, while the daughters-in-law and girls talked to Aibo. Qin Yi and Ke Huailun started a conversation under the attention of everyone, and most of them were polite words, which inevitably boasted about the development of tourism in Augusta Town and the satisfaction with the banquet.
It's also normal for such occasions. It's really not suitable to talk about more formal topics.
After a while, Governor Cwylen and Congressman Scott went around socializing, and the Department of Agriculture, who had not moved since arriving, finally talked about what they meant.
"Mr. Qin, I'm David from the Ministry of Agriculture, this is Mike and Robert, and we've been in touch by email before." David, who was of some black descent, led two colleagues and showed Qin Yi his ID while introducing himself.
"So. The three gentlemen came to my ranch at this time, do they have any advice? I don't think you're here for a banquet! Qin Yi took a sip of fruit wine, shrugged his shoulders and smiled.
"No, no, we're here for a banquet!" David picked up a glass of red wine, took a sip of it with great enjoyment, and laughed at himself: "Wow, what a perfect taste, thank you for your hospitality, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to drink such a good wine!" โ
"Come on. The little salary that the government gave us was enough to pay the mortgage! The agricultural officer named Robert also teased himself, causing Mike to pour red wine and laugh, it seems that he came to the ranch today. It's still quite enjoyable for the three of them!
But Qin Yi didn't believe that the three of them were here to enjoy the banquet, and the governors of the Ministry of Agriculture had their brains pumped before they issued such a decision!
However, judging by the attitudes of the three of them, they shouldn't be looking for trouble, so Qin Yi was not worried, and said casually: "Okay." Gentlemen who have been sent on vacation by their bosses, you can enjoy it slowly, tonight's banquet has just begun! โ
"Yes, we're looking forward to it, and we've heard that there are coffee and snacks, so we'll have to try it!"
David licked his thick lips with a look of anticipation, but he still quickly stopped Qin Yi who wanted to walk away: "Okay, let's put the beautiful banquet aside for a while, and I'll report to Mr. Qin about the purpose of our visit." โ
"Hurry up, gentlemen! You guys are so big, how can you look like a sissy! Qin Yi deliberately provoked them, he was short of time, but he didn't have time to accompany them to idle nonsense!
"Oh, sissy? God, you're the first person to say that about me! David glared a little incredulously, "I've always hated rich people, or maybe I'm jealous, but now, I kind of like your cheerfulness!" โ
"And said it's not a sissy," Qin Yi muttered weakly.
David really couldn't say anything about Qin Yi, and hurriedly raised his hand to surrender: "Ha, okay, okay!" That's right, we did come with a mission, and today we are witnessing this transaction on behalf of the United States Department of Agriculture and providing legal notarization of Qin's beef cattle! So, we're in this group, Mr. Qin! โ
Qin Yi nodded: "I thought you guys were here to find trouble!" โ
"Almost, Mr. Qin!"
Mike opened his mouth to add, gesturing the tips of his fingers, indicating that it was indeed a little bit close, "We did order the cancellation of many transactions!" But you fooled us, because all of us didn't expect that you were actually planning to sell Qin's beef cattle, and you caught us off guard, Mr. Qin! โ
"Yes, so the current situation is that the Ministry of Agriculture does not interfere in this auction, but if there is such a commercial practice in the future, Sunhe Ranch or Qin's Animal Husbandry needs to apply to the Ministry of Agriculture in advance, and we must have a specific assessment before we can decide whether to approve the transaction application of Qin's beef cattle!"
"Okay, my own things can't be sold now" Qin Yi had expected this, but after receiving the official notice from the Ministry of Agriculture, he was still a little helpless.
"Of course, of course! Mr. Qin, the legitimate rights and interests of Qin's beef cattle belong to you, this is the supreme power granted by the Constitution, and no one can infringe on it in the slightest! But who makes your cattle breed the best, the Department of Agriculture does this to maximize the protection of your interests and the interests of the United States, just like those arms dealers, the export of cutting-edge weapons is always prohibited! โ
David could imagine Qin Yi's mood, so he was so relieved, but he still muttered with some doubts: "I really don't understand what you rich people think, why do you give half of the turkey that lays golden eggs to others?" โ
Qin Yi smiled and didn't say anything, but Robert laughed at David: "Come on, buddy." If you could figure it out, would you waste time in the government like we did? I've already made a fortune! โ
A few people laughed, but David still reprimanded the two subordinates: "Oh, God. You are also gentlemen with decent jobs, don't look like street gangsters! โ
"Although I don't think it's decent, I don't want to be rude in front of the generous Mr. Qin! I'm sorry, Mr. Qin, please forgive us for being rude! โ
"I'm sorry too! All right. We've got to look like decent people, at least tonight! โ
Mike and Robert apologized in unison, Qin Yi only smiled and waved his hand, then let them take care of themselves, and then turned around and walked away.
The girls who had been paying attention to him immediately apologized, got out of the conversation with the guests, and gathered around Qin Yi to ask about the intention of the three people from the Ministry of Agriculture.
Qin Yi explained the matter in general and relieved their hearts. He also gestured to Ryan that the auction could begin!
Ryan, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately walked to the podium located a few meters in front of the door of the main house.
It is said that it is a podium, but in fact, it is just a square wooden pier, and a standing microphone is planted in front of it, so simple, after all, it is a banquet-style auction, and if you make a rostrum, it will be too nondescript!
"Ladies and gentlemen! Ladies and gentlemen, โ
Ryan, with a calm smile on his face, stood decently on the lectern where the lights gathered. Just like an old butler who followed the ancient etiquette, he shouted so slowly twice first, until it attracted the attention of the audience, and waited for most of the guests to spontaneously concentrate on the lawn. Only then did he nod elegantly in all directions.
"Wow, Ricky, your daddy's watch is not bad!"
As Qin Yi stood under the porch, the girls were smiling and making fun of Rui Qi'er, and even Qin Yi looked at her a little teasingly.
Everyone's reaction made Rickie a little proud. couldn't help but learn from the arrogant appearance of the sisters in the past, and picked up her chin and said proudly: "Of course! โ
The girls burst into a burst of low laughter again.
In fact, how did they know that these simple lines and behaviors, Ryan has practiced countless times in private, otherwise the old guy who has been a cowboy all his life, even if he has been trained in managing the ranch in the past two years, he will not be so gentlemanly and polite!
"Ladies and gentlemen, the banquet is about to officially begin, but first, I would like to invite Mr. Qin, the owner of the ranch, to give a speech on the stage!"
The applause is not loud, but the atmosphere is very good, because everyone has to maintain the image of a gentleman and lady, so the hard applause is really not suitable for such a banquet.
Qin Yi let Susa help him sort out his collar, but then he was pushed by Kolo with a grin, and the girls also covered their mouths and chuckled.
However, Angel led her friends, as well as the grandson and granddaughter of the new governor, bouncing her little hands and muttering softly: "Come on, dad (uncle)"
The mischievous little ones entertain the guests in the neighborhood.
Qin Yi stood on the wooden pier, waved to everyone, pressed down with both hands, signaled everyone to be quiet, and then continued: "Ladies and gentlemen, first of all, please let us pray together!" โ
He clasped his hands to his chest and made a wish: "Thank you for giving me food and a job so that I can survive and earn money to feed my beloved family and make them live a prosperous life; Thank you for giving me friends, for spending happy times with me, and for drinking and singing with me on days of occasional distress. Thank you to my parents for giving me a life, so that I can understand the joys and sorrows of loving and being loved in this wonderful world! โ
Xu was moved by Qin Yi's words, and the guests on the stage were speechless for a while, and the atmosphere was a little quiet.
On the girls' side, they were really touched by this guy, and the strong ones were sighing, and the weak ones were already red-eyed, but the thoughts were the same, and they cursed in their hearts: This damn guy can always say something unforgettable!
Sousa and Kolo were even more angry, this guy had asked them for a toast before, and now this is not the best toast
Hmph, I helped him think about it for a long time!
Mother Qin, who has been chatting with Susie and these old sisters on the side, is also full of affection, after all, children "thank their parents" in front of so many people, which can always make parents feel warm in their hearts.
Seeing that the atmosphere was silent for a while, Qin Yi didn't expect this, he just felt it for a while, but he didn't expect the effect to be good, but at this time it was banquet time, so he waved his hand under the corridor in a funny way: "Hey, I love you!" โ
The guests were immediately relieved, and fierce applause rang out, and many people even ignored their image, and their hands were red!
It's just that some people under the porch, except for the little ones who only know how to be happy, the other people have complicated feelings!
Love you guys
To whom, exactly? Probably Susa and Colo, after all, it should be like this, but obviously, the scope of that guy's gaze seems to be a bit large, is it for everyone? God, this damn guy (to be continued.) )
