Chapter 250: Preparations begin

"Of course, I won't treat you badly, I'll give you 1 million dollars for this vertical double-barreled shotgun. Even if this gun is fired, that's basically all you can get. It's just that such a boutique can be regarded as a rare but undesirable one, and I can be regarded as a pioneer.

You promised me that you would sell me a handful, and you won't regret it. As for the other handsome, it's also around 800,000, so it's good for you to keep it. ”

After Lincoln finished speaking, as if he was afraid that Shi Lei would regret it, he reported the whole case of the shotgun he valued tightly in his arms. looked more intimate than when he was holding Elizabeth, which made Shi Lei shake his head speechlessly.

"Okay, okay, I'll mean what I say, you can just take the shotgun in your hand with you. Just go back and call me the money. ”

Shi Lei glanced at Lincoln helplessly, looking at the posture, even if he dragged hard, he might not be able to pull it out. Anyway, it doesn't matter, Lincoln also gave the highest possible price on the market, there is no reason not to sell him, we are a trustworthy person.

After reading these things, Shi Lei also understood their origins, and Lincoln also harvested his beloved objects, so he took Elizabeth to leave happily.

Even though he had already received Shi Lei's letter, Lincoln still insisted on holding the big gun box with a satisfied smile on his face. If this is misunderstood Lincoln and Shi Lei to play the game of picking up soap, how can Shi Lei be reasonable.?

Elizabeth also glanced at Lincoln helplessly, this thing will not be able to hold Elizabeth's hand with his free hand, and he will not even give a chance to show his affection, deep resentment. Looking back at Shi Lei and Laura, who were leaning together affectionately, Elizabeth reluctantly walked out and drove first.

"What did Lincoln say? It looks like it's a good thing, or Lincoln wouldn't have turned out to be such a fool. Laura looked at Lincoln's stupid look and asked with the same smile.

He said that both were early works of Pudley, and that the person responsible for carving them was also a well-known master, so they were rare and good.

I insisted on keeping a handful of them. He could only sell him one, and he already had a flat-barreled shotgun, so he chose the more rare vertical one.

Well, of course, the price he gave should be very fair, the one he took was given 1 million dollars, and the rest was worth 800,000 yuan, which are all good things that may be fought over by such enthusiasts as soon as the news is released.

Alas, I'm just so righteous, so I sold it to him. Shi Lei said with some pride.

"I just like the way you look when you're cheap." Laura said after kissing Shi Lei with a smile.

"Go, I'm sincere. I'm such a sincere person. Why do you always misunderstand your husband and me, I think you have to implement a family law to make you question your husband's authority.

I dare to do this before I get married, and I can pay it back after I get married. Shi Lei finished with a smile, and carried Laura directly into the bedroom amid Laura's screams.

Shi Lei and Laura, the prospective couple, have lived a very fulfilling life, and for the upcoming engagement ceremony and the upcoming marriage ceremony, the two and the elders on both sides discussed various details together.

First of all, of course, the time of the two ceremonies needs to be determined, so that both sides can invite their relatives and friends. Then it was time to set the tone for the engagement ceremony, and both sides felt that the wedding was about to begin. Let's keep the engagement ceremony simpler.

Don't make it too complicated, and focus more on the marriage ceremony. Because the two sides said it at the beginning, considering the situation of Shi Lei and Laura, the marriage ceremony needs to be prepared twice. One will be held on the side of Midi, and the other will of course be held back in China.

And the two are very unconventional, holding a more traditional Chinese wedding on the side of Midi, and returning to China to have a pure Western-style wedding. In this way, both sides are more special. They are all supported by their own cultural backgrounds, and both sides can be done more authentically, so it is time to promote different cultures.

About the date of the marriage of the two. Of course, parents on both sides have no opinion. It's less than half a year to prepare, and both sides still feel a little rushed, of course, this is just a sense of urgency, not that there is really not enough time.

Shi Lei's father has always been very organized in arranging these major events, and he often goes to be the officiant or simply the father in charge of other people's weddings. The list of people who need to come to the ceremony has been listed, and even who is sitting at the same table has drawn a detailed distribution map.

The engagement ceremony was simply put on the parents' private food management. Anyway, the relatives in China will only come over a few necessary ones, such as the second uncle who is responsible for sending the red paper with the set wedding date, and the various more traditional things that indicate the precautions on the wedding day, which also need to be sent by Shi Lei's second uncle.

However, the problem of this matchmaker is really difficult for Shi Lei, he and Laura are in free love, so this matchmaker has to pull someone to be the one now. But according to traditional habits, this matchmaker also has multiple roles, and it is better to be a person who can speak well.

In this way, Shi Lei's relatives and friends on the other side seem to be a little inappropriate, because there are few who can speak English, so they can only be selected among the acquaintances on Midi's side.

In the end, this problem was solved by my father, and he found an old friend he had met since coming to Midi's side. It sounds a bit contradictory, this gentleman named Gan Hongxiang (a guest appearance from a book friend in this book) was originally a colleague of Shi Lei's father. Later, he resigned and went to the sea to do business. After the business was big enough, he immigrated to Midi's side, and it just so happened that he also lived on Arcadia's side.

Shi Yi often went out for a walk in the morning, and naturally met this old colleague from the past, so didn't the two know each other again. This foreign acquaintance can make my father very happy, so I took him to the private restaurant for a drink.

In the past, Gan Hongxiang knew that Shi Lei's mother cooked very deliciously, and that was a famous chef in the entire education system, and I heard that my mother simply opened a private restaurant by herself, and after tasting the taste, she found that it was really as delicious as the legend, and Gan Hongxiang would patronize my mother's small shop from time to time in the future. This back and forth father and Gan Hongxiang are more familiar.

And Gan Hongxiang and Colin are also acquaintances, although they are not acquainted, but they have also been in contact with several occasions such as chamber of commerce activities, so it is very suitable for him to be the matchmaker.

In this way, Gan Hongxiang participated. There is no shortage of people in links such as Nacai. Just wait for Shi Lei's family to come over with their family after the New Year, before the engagement ceremony officially begins, Gan Hongxiang will take Shi Lei's second uncle to Kelin's house for a trip to complete this necessary process.

However, before returning to China during the Spring Festival, Shi Lei and Laura went to attend the wedding of An Yumeng and Xu Xiaoxiao together. The two families don't have many relatives and friends here, so the wedding of the two was held in the cathedral of Los Angeles, a typical Western-style wedding.

In the solemn church, under the auspices of the pastor, after the two completed their wedding, under the pull of Shi Lei and their young friends all the way and all kinds of difficulties. A couple of newcomers struggled to get into their car, which had been disfigured beyond recognition by Lincoln.

With the sound of a tin can bouncing on the road behind the car, the two of them didn't care about the windshield in front of the car, and quickly got into the car and ran away. Their honeymoon has begun.

It was rare for Shi Lei to meet McRae, who had never been good at talking about some introversion, here. It seems that he and Xu Xiaoxiao have cooperated quite happily, otherwise he would not have attended Xu Xiaoxiao's wedding.

From McRae, Shi Lei once again confirmed the situation on the winery's side, and the wine launch was about to be held, probably in the spring.

McRae's meaning Shi Lei can be ready to contact friends from all walks of life, especially those who have this need can be ready to participate in this press conference.

The first thing that popped up in Shi Lei's mind was his brother, Jiang Kun, the boss of the dormitory...... The last time he was in Santa Barbara, he signed a series of agreements with the winery manager in the Central Valley.

This time, since McKere's side is preparing to release a new product, Shi Lei believes that the quality of the things made by McRae will definitely not be bad, so you can contact the boss. Let's see if he's interested in working together.

Then Shi Lei remembered the young big boss from China who had a relationship with him in the stone ranch during the last grass mud horse festival.

With a group of people on a wine tour centred on the youngest, it's clear that there's something about the relatively young boss. Shi Lei thought that he should still have the phone left by the other party, so he just made a phone call and asked if he was interested in coming to the scene to evaluate it.

Of course, Shi Lei also knew that he had found these people. Most of the time it's just icing on the cake. With McRae's huge influence in the wine circle, it should be easy to find some well-known connoisseurs in the wine circle and those powerful buyers. Many people may even come to McRae for their own name.

Of course, Shi Lei will also call Lincoln and Alexander here. Especially Alexander. He often interacts with people in the food world. In particular, many high-end restaurants are big consumers of high-end red wine, and they are the potential customers of McRae's winery, so it is necessary for him to bring in some people to cheer up. Lincoln and Robinson, on the other hand, were themselves customers of high-end red wines.

An Yumeng and Xu Xiaoxiao's wedding left the deepest impression on Shi Lei, what was the simple but not simple wedding dress on An Yumeng's body, Shi Lei inquired about the haute couture wedding dress produced by the Chinese wedding queen Verawang. Laura is also very optimistic about this wedding dress.

Shi Lei only hopes that Emily, the mother-in-law, will design two sets of Chinese and Western wedding dresses that will not be worse than An Yumeng's. Shi Lei also believes in Emily's strength, just look at Laura's level. By the way, Shi Lei's dresses were also prepared in two sets, which were still designed and made by Laura herself.
