The little girl's heartless style made Brown, who looked back, smile bitterly and shook his head, but made Qin Yi and the others chuckle.
But Betsy is only five years old, a little girl who is a little older, what else can be expected from her?
With her mother by her side, she can hang out with her favorite sister Angel and Uncle Yi, this situation is wonderful enough for her, even if her father has to work and can't go together, it's not a big deal!
The child's logic is simple and interesting, but anyway, with the addition of Becky's good little playmate along the way, Angel is even more excited.
However, while playing, Angel did not forget to take care of her mother, invited her mother to drink water, told stories to coax her mother to sleep, and helped her mother with a handbag.
Qin Yi and the others took a flight to Helena, and Helena transferred to Chicago at the southern end of Lake Michigan at 3 o'clock in the afternoon, the whole journey lasted six hours, mainly because of the delay during the transit.
Throughout the journey, John took a few team members to protect him, because he was dressed as an ordinary traveler, and he didn't attract much attention.
After arriving in Chicago, Stupid Bear (the captain and first mate of the Venus) had already sent someone to wait at the airport, which saved a lot of trouble, and rushed to the city directly, and found a hotel for a big meal, which was regarded as compensating for the poor lunch on the plane.
After wandering around Chicago for a while, he found that the metropolises were basically the same, so Qin Yi quickly lost interest and rushed to the dock with everyone.
Speaking of the Venus, the 88-meter yacht, it took a bumpy ride from Los Angeles to Lake Michigan, and the sea journey on the road was fine, and even from the Canadian side of the Atlantic Ocean, along the St. Lawrence River into Lake Ontario, there was no problem, but when it came to Lake Erie via Lake Ontario. But it was different from what Qin Yi expected.
Because the Niagara River, the main river of the two great lakes, is the world-famous Niagara Falls in the middle, and the drop of tens of meters makes it impossible to navigate this wide river, let alone a superyacht like the Venus!
So far, except for the extreme sports barrel rafting, there is no other boat that can only go directly down the river, if the barrel is also a boat!
Fortunately, not far from the west side of the Great Falls, there is a slightly narrower river in Canada that is navigable, allowing the Venus to enter Lake Erie along the lĂŹ. Then we arrive at Lake Michigan.
But fortunately, now, if it comes a month late, Lake Erie will be closed due to freezing, and no matter how big the Venus is, it will not be useful!
Kolo teased Qin Yi, if you have to come by boat to play during the closed lake season, it is best to buy a new icebreaker, Susa and Rui Qier and others also answered, it didn't take long for a while, and the equipment competition was general. brought Qin Yi an aircraft carrier fleet
How big is Lake Michigan?
Qin Yi also wanted to know, so he had checked the information before, good guy, it was 17.6 times that of Poyang Lake, the largest freshwater lake in China!
He had never seen Poyang Lake. But Taihu Lake was fortunate enough to see it once, standing on the shore of the lake and looking at the past, it was really like looking at the sea, at this time at the Chicago Lakeside Wharf. It is also this feeling: the smoke and waves are vast, the water and the sky are the same, and the lake area is surrounded by three lakes in the southeast, north and south, and it is really impossible to see the edge at a glance!
But compared to the sea. The color of the lake water is much whiter, there is no salty smell at all, it is naturally impossible to be clear, but it is really clean, only in terms of color, it is similar to the water quality of the drinking water reservoir.
Because it is the lakeside wharf of the metropolis, the atmosphere of the city and humanity is too heavy, and there is no natural landscape, which makes Qin Yi and others lose the mood to appreciate it.
Of course, the main reason is that today's weather is not very good, although it is a sunny day, but the cold wind is three or four levels, blowing everyone's clothes whirring, plus the temperature is already a few degrees low, making them feel a little cold.
Qin Yi believes that in such outdoor conditions, if you rashly come out of the warm car or indoors, the cold wind will definitely blow people's heads to hurt!
A few years ago, when he went to the bottom of the small waves of the Yellow River, it was almost the same weather, and he couldn't help but cover the back of his head
But even so, there are still many small yachts docked at the marina, whether they are tourists or locals, wearing short sleeves, shorts and slippers, hugging their arms and chatting happily, as if they are on vacation in Miami Beach!
This kind of situation is very strange to Qin Yi and them, in the world, there are really people who are not afraid of the cold!
Probably because of the metropolis, the number of tourists and citizens is not numerous, but it is definitely not rare, many of them are anglers with fishing gear, and it seems that although the temperature is not suitable, there are still many people who arrange their Thanksgiving holiday in the Lake District.
The dock is very busy, and many speedboats and small yachts are cleaving the waves on the lake, rowing quickly, stirring up a one-man high white wake wave at the stern, like a squirrel running quickly on the lake with its tail cocked, which looks quite interesting.
Today's cold wind is annoying, but it's good news for sailing enthusiasts.
On the lake in the distance, a sailboat with a white triangular sail hoisted on the slightly blue lake, drifting along the undulating waves, just like a white cloud swaying with the wind in the same blue sky.
If these are also landscapes, the first sight of Lake Michigan that Qin Yi and the others saw was quite a bit of a gain!
Blowing the cold wind is not a thing to enjoy, and Susa is still pregnant with a baby, and she can't stay in the cold wind for long, so she swept her eyes at the dock, Qin Yi didn't delay, and walked towards the Venus that stood out from the crowd.
The yachts at the pier are mostly some middle-class family yachts of a few meters, and even many speedboats, there are quite few yachts above ten meters, and there is not one yacht above twenty meters, except for the Venus!
The elegant white swan-like Venus is even bigger than those passenger ships!
Such a luxurious yacht naturally attracted a lot of tourists and citizens to stop and watch, some small yachts were also wandering in the nearby waters, Qin Yi could even see that many men and women of different ages on the small yacht were also holding cameras to take pictures.
There are very few people like Qin Yi, in order to have fun, let a superyacht go in and out of Canada several times, and also sail into a river with a poor channel condition, so it is rare to see a superyacht in an inland lake.
In fact, Qin Yi and others had a yacht to enjoy this time, although they could have a good time, but afterwards, they would inevitably spend a large amount of maintenance costs, all the way across the ocean and the sea, and even drove on the inland river in not very good condition for so long, to say the least, hundreds of thousands of dollars have been smashed in!
But this amount of money is really drizzle for Qin Yi!
Not to mention the profit of more than 100 million US dollars brought by beef this year, and the more than 300 million US dollars deceived by the cattle auction, the global sales of wine alone can bring 70 million or 80 million US dollars per month!
Other fishing grounds and security companies are much less profitable, but they are enough to support him to drive around on a yacht all day!
There is not much potential for the growth of wine demand, but the beef is still strong, and I believe that next year, when the calves of the Wabe Lake Ranch and Teddy Ranch grow up, Qin Yi's income in beef will quadruple!
The money is still depreciating in his hands, it seems that a new round of land enclosure plans must be implemented quickly, and there is a mountainous area of tens of thousands of acres in the Rocky Mountains, Scott's old guy said that he would help him get it, why don't you give a letter now?
At the end of this vacation, you have to rush him.
Halfway to the Venus, Qin Yi had these thoughts in his mind, feeling that there were more and more dollars, and he couldn't spend them all
He touched the belly of Susa, who was walking beside him, and said in his heart that this little guy is blessed, his father is tired and tired to earn money, and he is cheap for this little guy!
After Qin Yi and the others got on the boat, the yacht slowly sailed towards the first stop of the trip: Huolan! (To be continued.) )
