292. Another fishing ground
Qin Shiou sat on the ground with the pineapple on his feet, let the tiger and the leopard sit opposite it, and squatted next to him and said, "Do you understand that you are friends?" In the future, you are not allowed to fight, you can only play together, if you let me see who is fighting, who will not have food, understand? ”
The three little guys blinked together, and the expressions on their faces were more pure and harmless than the other, but as soon as Qin Shiou walked away, two chased after one and fled, and they started to do it again.
There is something to do, Qin Shiou has no time to care, seeing Gordon and Michelle playing on the computer, he called the two of them to look at the tiger leopard and pineapple, don't really fight, it will be troublesome.
Qin Shiou wants to do the right thing, which is to find a way to buy the cod hometown.
Auerbach helped him find background information about the owner of the Cod Hometown Fishery, Cady Goodra, the owner of a private hospital.
Originally from the United States, the Goodra family came to St. John's about one hundred and twenty years ago and established a dental practice here. Later, the clinic expanded into a hospital called Gudra Dental Hospital.
Buying this fishery, Kedy Goodra wanted to make a profit on his investment, and he bought it when the Newfoundland fishery had just collapsed, when the price of the fishery had dropped sharply, thinking that in a few years the fishery resources would recover and the price would rise.
Unfortunately, he is not a good venture capitalist, and the fishery has been bought for 20 years, but the fishery resources are not only not restored but are still decreasing, so he has the idea of selling the fishery and the listing is 11 million.
Qin Shiou's psychological offer for the cod's hometown fishery is between 9 million and 9.5 million yuan, and the coastline of this fishing ground is only 8 kilometers, which is 1.2 kilometers shorter than Mr. Ross's coastline, and is closer to the chemical plant. The pollution is more severe, so the price is at least 10% cheaper.
Hamre helps him make an appointment with Cady Goodra, a little old man of about sixty years old, with gold-rimmed glasses and a bookish air. His expression remained calm at all times, and I don't know if it was related to his long time as a doctor.
Qin Shiou was about to come to visit, but on September 4th, Kaidi Gudra came to the door in person and said straight to the point: "Qin's grandson, are you interested in my fishing ground?" ”
If it is not clear so. Just this title, according to the rules of the country, it is considered a curse. Qin Shiou knew that Gudra meant that he was Qin Hongde's grandson, so he quickly introduced himself and invited him to sit down and make tea.
Gudra looked around the villa. sighed: "Compared with twenty years ago, this place has not changed much, haven't you thought about decorating it?" ”
The Fishing Cottage is made of original wood, with floors of hand-polished maple and furnishings made of precious black walnut. The walls and beams are also made of various logs, such as birch, pine, beech, etc., which are very strong and have a quaint primitive style.
After Qin Shiou moved in. I also thought about decorating, he used to watch those particularly modern well-decorated villas on TV, and he was once deeply envied.
But after staying for a while. He gave up the idea of decorating. There is no steel, no concrete, no bricks, only the smell of earthy flowers and wood, and living here will give you a feeling of returning to nature.
No matter how busy you are outside and how stressful your life is, as long as you live in such a house, it seems that the pressure will leave all of a sudden. The tired body and mind can quickly be filled with energy.
"I really like this environment." Qin Shiou said with a smile, "My children like it too." ”
Gudra laughed. said: "Look at your young age, you actually have a child?" ”
Qin Shiou whistled super loudly. The tiger, leopard, and pineapple who were confronting each other ran into the house together, Xiong Da dragged Da Bai out of the kitchen, and Bush Jr., who was hiding in the grass to rest, also staggered over, and the little squirrel and the little yellow squirrel family arrived at the end.
Gudra was dumbfounded, Qin Shiou laughed, and added: "These are my children, and there is a particularly majestic big warship bird that went fishing at sea and did not come back. ”
Watching Qin Shiou make love with these little guys, Gudra said: "It turns out that you are talking about them, I thought they were children in the yard, I thought, those children don't seem to have yellow blood." ”
Auerbach briefly introduced the situation of the four children, and Gudra looked at Qin Shiou's eyes full of appreciation, and said: "You are the same as your grandfather, children, you are all people of high moral character. ”
Qin Shiou smiled awkwardly, adopting four children was Auerbach's idea, and it actually had little to do with him.
After a simple pull, Gudra got to the point: "I'm willing to sell my fishery, kid, how much do you think you can give?" ”
Qin Shiou coughed and said, "Mr. Kaidi, you know, I have a big plan, and the financial pressure is relatively large, and now there are only nine million that can be transferred to buy the fishing farm." ”
Gudra shook his head and said, "My asking price is indeed a bit high, but 9 million is not good, so how about it, child, 9.5 million, everything in the fishing ground will be given to you?" ”
This is also within Qin Shiou's psychological price, and the old man is also very happy, he directly cut 1.5 million, I don't know if it has something to do with him owning a hospital - Canada is a little bit the same as China, things in the hospital can't be bargained, a fixed price.
"Deal." Qin Shiou stretched out his hand respectfully.
Gudra shook hands with Qin Shiou, and when the business ended, Qin Shiou invited him to eat here.
Gudra happily agreed, and he sat down on a wooden chair and said, "I remember sitting on this chair when I was last here twenty years ago. Your grandfather also invited me to stay for dinner, and at that time he gave me a lot of buildings, including the one that I bought the fishing ground. ”
As he spoke, he shook his head and said, "It's a pity that I didn't listen at the time, otherwise I wouldn't have lost so much money." ”
Auerbach laughed: "In a flash, twenty years have passed, old man, time is too fast, it is too fast!" ”
Gudra sighed, "yes, it's fast to catch an old guy like me off guard!" When I first bought this farm, I was able to get on the boat and go trawling, and now, haha, I can only sit at the table and deal with one fish. ”
At lunch, Qin Shiou asked Shaq to go to the fishing ground to catch two fish, he went to the vegetable garden to pick some fresh vegetables, and entertained Gudra with authentic Chinese food.
Gudra ate a fruit salad and various dishes modified by Poseidon Energy with a fork, and ate with relish and praise.
At the dinner table, he told Qin Shiou the reason why he sold the fishery so happily, first, the fishery lacked catches and had no value; The second is that he plans to retire next year and wants to go to Hawaii to retire: "I like summer and hate the cold, so I think Hawaii is a good choice."
