305. Be a guest
The call came from Yan Donglei, the president of the Newfoundland branch of the Chinese Canadian Mutual Aid Association.
Qin Shiou answered the phone, Yan Donglei's hearty laughter rang out, and said, "Xiao Qin, you have been very popular recently." β
As soon as he heard this, Qin Shiou knew what he meant, and said with a wry smile: "The compatriots in China are too capable of tossing, fortunately, I don't have Weibo, otherwise this guy will be in trouble." β
The two chatted casually, and Yan Donglei said his original intention: "Recently, our Chinese Mutual Aid Association has several activities, I don't know if you are interested, one is the anniversary of the 918 incident, one is the Mid-Autumn Festival on the 30th, and the other is the National Day on October 1st. β
Qin Shiou didn't mind attending a few parties, and it was always good to know some high-level people, but he was really embarrassed, and said: "I have to go back to China during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and I have to go home to accompany my parents on this holiday." β
The Mid-Autumn Festival is almost connected with the National Day, and as long as he returns to China for the Mid-Autumn Festival, he will not be able to participate in the National Day party.
Yan Donglei attached great importance to Qin Shiou, a young rich man, and asked, "Can you take your uncle and aunt to Newfoundland?" We have a lot of compatriots here, and the party is very lively. β
Qin Shiou smiled bitterly and said, "I can't do this, Brother Yan, you may not know, my parents are very stubborn farmers, they have a feeling for the land at home that we don't understand, and they will not leave the house in the autumn no matter what." β
This is very common in Qin Shiou's hometown, where many people who work outside will take leave to go home to work on the farm during the autumn harvest, even if all the harvest in the field is sold, it will not cover their wages for these days of lost work.
Since Qin Shiou said so, Yan Donglei had no choice, he said: "Are you interested in the 918 anniversary party?" At that time, there were quite a few compatriots who participated. β
If you are not interested, you have to participate, otherwise all three invitations will be refused. It's a bit too rude, so that people won't take you to play if 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 with an invitation letter and some precautions. Let him pay attention to it.
After the lunch break, Qin Shiou opened the email in the afternoon and looked at it, there was an electronic invitation in it, which needed to be downloaded, and he had to scan the code to enter at that time.
In addition, it is important to note that there will be a charity event after this gathering. Everyone auctions something, and the proceeds are put into the private equity fund of the Chinese business district to support the development of Chinese enterprises.
Of course, there is no requirement for the auction item, it can be a handwritten word. Or some gadgets collected. At that time, no one will buy it at the auction, and you can just spend a few hundred or thousands to auction it yourself, which is considered a donation.
Qin Shiou and Winnie talked about Will's invitation and the 918 anniversary party, both of which he had to bring a female companion, and Winnie needed to ask for leave.
Winnie said no problem, she is not taking all the groups now, and is mainly responsible for taking the group to St. John's for procurement and town visits.
After dinner, Winnie took Tiger, Leopard, and Bear for a walk on the beach. Qin Shiou dived the Seagod Consciousness into the fishing ground and roughly turned around.
There is no problem with the development of the fishing grounds, but the fish stocks are still mainly concentrated in the waters of the Daqin fishing grounds, and there are still few fish in the other four fishing grounds. But they have already appeared. Qin Shiou infused the energy of the sea god into the seaweed in these fishing grounds, and only by developing the bottom of the food chain can a complete ecosystem be established.
Later, Qin Shiou suddenly realized that he had too much harvest and lacked development in the recent period. So he took a man-eating shark and a large herring to the southwest and southeast to see if he could find anything good.
September 14th. Qin Shiou took Winnie to Weir's house as a guest, which was an ordinary relationship. So there's no need to wear a gown.
Qin Shiou brought frozen turbot and queen crab, which are special products of the fishing grounds, as gifts, and he also knew that Weir had an eight-year-old son and a two-year-old daughter. And Winnie. Winnie picked out a set of Transformers toys for her child, and now "Transformers" is a global hit, and the status of toys is also rising.
Vail drove his Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck to pick up people, this car is the second largest in the North American pickup truck market, the best-selling Ford F150 is naturally it, and it is next.
In the United States and Canada, pickup sales are particularly good, and Qin Shiou travels in places like St. John's and Montreal, and the most cars he sees on the road are pickup trucks, not sedans.
This has to do with the fact that Canada is a vast country, with many small towns dotted around the vast expanse of land.
This makes life a bit inconvenient for a Canadian resident who does not live in a city, and the nearest supermarket is usually 50 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 about the same scale as Xiaoshiduo's purchase, and you can't really do it without a pickup.
In addition, influenced by the American pickup culture, Canadians also have a tradition of pickup trucks, and many families have pickup trucks passed down from their grandparents. This also affects their choice when buying a car, after all, grandpa and dad both drive pickup trucks, and they touched pickup trucks when they were young, so why not buy pickup trucks?
The Chevrolet Silverado is a classic pickup truck, aggressive, nicknamed 'Locomotive', and in the trailer, the trailer features an aviation turbofan directly in the cargo hopper and then flies through the Canadian ice fields to show off its perverted performance.
After getting in the car, Winnie chatted with Weir about pickup culture, which Qin Shiou couldn't interject, in his opinion, the most awesome car is a sports car, or a luxury SUV, and pickup trucks are not his thing.
But for Vail, pickup trucks are the favorite, and after Winnie provoked the topic, he said with great interest: "Our Vail family started with a second-hand pickup truck, and I remember that my grandfather bought a Ford Heavy-Duty at that time!" β
βheavy-dutyοΌ Oh, it's a classic car. Vail, I have to admit, your grandfather bought a treasure. Popeye, that's Ford's first-generation ace pickup, and with it you can do anything. It uses a 95-horsepower 3.6-liter inline-six, right? My grandfather used to have one, and he considered it a treasure. Winnie answered.
Vail nodded happily, "Yes, yes, Winnie, you're absolutely right. It was by relying on that pickup truck that our Vail construction group started work, starting from transporting cement to people, to doing it ourselves, a grandson of a black slave, and slowly having our own construction group. β
"Legendary, that's all I can say." Winnie nodded.
Wei Er laughed, and after arriving at his house, Qin Shiou felt that this guy couldn't wait to become a brother and sister of the opposite sex with Winnie who cut off the head of the chicken and burned yellow paper.
As for yourself? Where did it come from, do you know Ford's first-generation second-generation pickup? Do you know the road to the confrontation of the big three of Chevrolet, Dodge and Ford pickups? No, I don't know...... (To be continued)
