172. St. John's Market (5/7)
Waiting for the time of the account manager of Dick Marine Vegetation Company, Qin Shiou did something first.
Because he had to shoot fish, he had to prepare a bow for Mao Weilong, and Rejeke recommended an entry-level recurve bow, which was affordable, simple and easy to operate, and very easy to use.
Mao Weilong chose a recurve bow made of carbon fiber sheet and glass fiber, and he followed an employee with better shooting skills to practice, while Qin Shiou went to see the ATV car.
ATV is an abbreviation, the name is spelled ATVALL-terrain-vehicle, Canadians and the United States like to call it the abbreviation, which means 'suitable for all terrain vehicles', generally in China, the more formal name is four-wheeled all-terrain vehicle, the more popular name, is the ATV.
In fact, the name of the ATV is wrong, and even calling it an all-terrain four-wheel drive off-road vehicle is more correct than an ATV, but the name is too verbose and does not conform to the habits of the Chinese people, and because this kind of car has wide tires and is easy to drive on sandy ground, it is misunderstood to be called an ATV.
Qin Shiou bought an ATV just to drive on his beach, and when he learned this, Rejek smiled and said, "No, man, if it's just driving on the beach, then an ordinary small ATV will do." I'm not going to show you a little guy like that, my car is of good quality and performs well, not only on the beach, but also on riverbeds, trails, streams, and even worse deserts. β
Walking to the Viking Fishing Store, there are two large ATVs, also known as ATVs, standing on both sides of the door.
The two ATVs, one red and one black, have a simple and rugged shape, and four large tires are half a person tall. Like a small tank.
"This is the Arctic Cat Thundercat-1000-H2, which is as domineering as the H2 Hummer off-road vehicle, with a six-hundred-pound bike, a 52.5-in-mile wheelbase and a 19-liter fuel tank," Rejek said. β
"The engine is a V-twin, SOHC single overhead camshaft model. Four-stroke, four-valve, absolutely strong. β
"The engine displacement is, the cylinders are, the gears are automatic CVTEBS and reverse, and the front tire size is 25x8-12. Rear tire size 25x10-12......"
Reyek is a mechanical maniac, and when it comes to jet skis or this kind of ATV, it's called a gushing one, and then he introduces what kind of front suspension, rear suspension, and front brake, rear brake and so on. There are too many jΓΉ and too many professional terms, and Qin Shiou is depressed.
"Stop, man, just tell me the price, the price of all the car styles you have here." Qin Shiou said with a headache.
Reyeke patted the black car and said: "This is the Arctic cat thundercat-1000-H2, the price is fifteen thousand, which is the best and most classic style." In addition, there are ......brands such as Yamaha, Bombardier, Honda, Kawasaki, Polaris, Suzuki, KTM, etc.
"Forget about Japanese goods. I don't like Japanese stuff. Qin Shiou said, Mao Weilong, who had just come over, gave him a thumbs up, and the two of them laughed and high-fived.
Reyek shrugged. "Oh, then you'd better choose the Arctic Cat or the Polaris, it's all Yankee's stuff." β
Qin Shiou ordered an Arctic Cat H2, this guy has outstanding off-road ability, and he can drive it around the town in the future, and even climb mountains and mountains. You don't need a driver's license for this thing.
Walking inside, there are still people loading and unloading ATVs. Qin Shiou saw that there was a small car. The height of this car only reaches the base of his thighs, and the tires are only about 30 centimeters, and the whole body is golden, which looks cute and a little domineering.
"Is this still a trumpet?" Qin Shiou asked.
Reyeke nodded and said, "This is the Bombardier Cub S200 with a ...... engine displacement."
Qin Shiou spread his hand helplessly, Reyeke understood what he meant, laughed, and said, "Okay, I won't talk about the specific parameters." In short, the performance of this car is good, the speed will not be mentioned very fast, up to 40 miles, suitable for children to drive, in addition to adult cars, this car is specially equipped with an automatic guardrail pop-up system, the price is 10,000. β
"Isn't it much cheaper than a big car?" Hamre said curiously.
"The big car is expensive in the engine and tires, and the small car is also expensive in the protection system. β
Qin Shiou handed the bank card to Reyeke and said, "Two cars, man, to my fishing boat." β
"Look, a business." Reyeke took the bank card and smiled and waved his hand.
Outside, a waiter came in and said, "Chief, Bill Thatch has arrived." β
Reyeke walked out with a few people, and at the same time introduced: "Bill is the account manager of Dick's marine vegetation company, a nice guy, very strict, and he has no problem in business." β
At the door, Qin Shiou saw a middle-aged white man in his forties.
This man must have been as Jewish, like Auerbach, with meticulous blonde hair, a crisp suit and white shirt on a hot day, a blue tie around his neck, a briefcase in his hand, and leather shoes on his feet that were shiny enough to rival Hamray's.
After shaking hands, Bill Thatch took out his business card, held it in both hands, and gave one to person.
Hamlet naturally and politely sent one, Qin Shiou touched his nose in embarrassment, grandma drop, Auerbach was not around, he was not prepared for anything.
Without Auerbach, Qin Shiou is a nouveau riche who doesn't know anything, it can be said that after Auerbach was diagnosed with a brain tumor, Qin Shiou was most worried, so he must let Qin Shiou raise four orphans, in order to urge him to grow up and mature quickly.
As a result, now his illness has been charged, and with the improvement of the Poseidon energy, his physical condition is getting better and better, and it seems very refreshing to stay in the fishery every morning to serve vegetables and fruit trees, soak in the hot springs in the afternoon, and tutor the four children in the evening.
After exchanging business cards, Bill and Hamlet and the other three began to talk about grass seeds, he was indeed very strict, as soon as Hamlet said that they were from Farewell Island, he immediately took out a piece of information. "This is the lake water test report of Shenbao Lake, which records in detail the existing aquatic weed species and approximate proportions in the lake. β
Qin Shiou also got a copy of the report, which is about 20 pages long, and the number of details in it is missing, and the species and proportion of aquatic plants have been from 1990. There is a test every five years, and the number jΓΉ is recorded in it. In addition, the preference of Asian carp for various aquatic weeds was reported.
Obviously, Bill's homework was well prepared, and he knew where the Farewell Town money came from and what it was for.
Wait until they're done. "For inland lakes, aquatic weeds are necessary to provide habitat and shelter for many aquatic animals, as well as food for many animals such as water snails, teals, water birds, frogs, etc. The most important. It is to provide oxygen to the fish. β
"I propose that you increase the cultivation of the North American crown grass, which can better absorb the excrement of animals and fish, has a strong ability to produce oxygen, and most importantly, it is one of the several aquatic plants that Asian carp cannot eat."
Hearing this, Hamlet coughed and whispered, "Bill, there is something I want to say. Our purpose in buying grass seeds this time is not to restrict Asian carp, but to better shape the ecosystem of a lake area......"
Bill blinked a little puzzled and said, "Shaping the ecosystem?" β
Qin Shiou couldn't talk about it like this. Hamre is used to being a politician and likes to be secretive when he speaks, and Bill obviously has a hard time understanding, so he said bluntly: "It doesn't matter whether the Asian carp eats the aquatic grass we want to buy or not, as long as the native fish like to eat it." β
Bill frowned. "Then don't you plan to curb the breeding of Asian carp?" β
Qin Shiou laughed and said, "We have found a way to this. β
Bill nodded. Said: "Then this kind of thing is very simple, as long as it is according to the species and proportion of aquatic plants in Shenbao Lake ten years ago. Wouldn't it be okay to sprinkle the grass seeds of the aquatic plants again? β
This plan can be passed quickly, and local governments in Canada have this advantage, as long as the finances are open, then many issues can be cleared in one step, and there is no need to hold this meeting to discuss, that meeting to discuss, and so on.
Bill laid out the types and prices of grass seeds, and Hamlet and Qin Shiou took his two subordinates to study them together, and determined to purchase 120,000 and a total of 48 tons of grass seeds.
The grass seeds of aquatic plants are more expensive than seaweed, and the other 120,000 yuan includes aircraft leasing fees and labor costs.
The matter is almost discussed, and the rest is to sign the contract, which is more severe, and it can only be carried out in the presence of a lawyer, and the two parties do not bring a lawyer - strictly speaking, Qin Shiou and Hamlet did not bring a lawyer, and Bill actually has a lawyer's qualification certificate, no wonder his temperament is so rigorous!
It's still Reyjek who invites guests to dinner, and if he is in the country and does things for the government, the government has to invite a meal at any time, which is not even thought of in Canada.
After lunch, Hamlet and the others went to hire a lawyer to draw up a contract, while Qin Shiou and Mao Weilong wandered around the market in St. John's.
The two of them first bought a cup of fruit snow ice, drank the sweet and sour cool snow ice, and walked slowly in the shadow of the market, Mao Weilong said: "The pace of life here is really slow, living in this kind of place is called life, in Kyoto?" That's called survival! β
Qin Shiou said: "Don't be emotional, hurry up and see what you want to buy?" β
"You're in for a treat?" Mao Weilong said with a cheap smile.
Qin Shiou took out his mobile phone and took a photo of him for him to see, Mao Weilong was inexplicable, Qin Shiou laughed and said: "I asked you to take a photo to see how big your face is, let you know how many pounds and taels you have, and give me a treat, are you dreaming?" β
I happened to walk up to a mobile cart stall selling T-shirts and shorts, which is a characteristic of Newfoundland, and some small vendors sell clothes not on the ground, but on small carts that resemble domestic breakfast carts, with clothes, shoes and hats placed inside.
This is not to avoid running away from the chengguan or something, but from the tradition, the tradition of the ocean fishing boat trade.
In the stall car that the two walked to, there were a few T-shirts, which were very Chinese-style, with Runzhi's head, Lei Feng's head, etc., and some T-shirts were printed with Runzhi's quotations, what 'intellectual youth want to go to the countryside', 'You are like the sun at *o'clock' and so on.
The funny thing is that it is estimated that the boss does not know Chinese characters, and it is too interesting to have two clothes printed, one is 'If you drink and drive, I will remarry', and the other is 'set fire to the bottom of the mountain prison to sit and wear', which made Qin Shiou and Mao Weilong laugh.
This kind of clothes is very cheap, only fifteen yuan a piece, Qin Shiou has picked one of various styles, and it is quite individual to wear this dress in the future, among them, 'set fire to the bottom of the mountain prison and sit and wear', he put it on directly. (To be continued)
