172. St. John's Market (5/7)
Waiting for the time to wait for the account manager of Dick Sea Aquatic Vegetation Company, Qin Shiou did something first.
Because I want to shoot fish, I have to prepare a bow for Mao Weilong. Reyek recommended an entry-level recurve bow, which is affordable, easy to operate, and easy to get started.
Mao Weilong chose a recurve bow made of carbon fiber sheets and glass fiber as the main body. He followed an employee with a good shooting skills to practice, while Qin Shiou went to see the AtV car.
Atv is an abbreviation, and the name is spelled as atvall-terrain-vehicle. Canadians and Americans like to call it abbreviation, meaning "a means of transportation suitable for all terrain". Generally, in China, the more formal name is a four-wheel all-terrain vehicle, and the more popular name is an ATV.
In fact, the name of the ATV is wrong, and even the all-terrain four-drive off-road vehicle is more correct than the ATV. However, the name is too long-winded and does not conform to the habits of the Chinese people. Because this type of car has wide tires and is easy to drive in the sand, it is misunderstood as an ATV.
Qin Shiou bought an ATV to drive on his beach. When he learned this, Reyek smiled and said, "No, man, if you just drive on the beach, then an ordinary little Atv is fine. What I want to show you is not such a little guy. My car has good quality and excellent performance. It can not only drive on the beach, but also drive in riverbeds, forest roads, streams and even worse deserts."
Walking to the Viking Fishery Store, two large AtvVs, namely ATVs, stand on both sides of the door.
These two ATVs are red and black, with simple and rough shapes, and four large tires are half a person tall. They look like a small tank.
Reyek introduced: "This is the Arctic Cat Thundercat-1000-h2, which is as domineering as the H2 Hummer Off-Road. The car is 600 pounds, the wheelbase is 52.5 in., and the fuel tank capacity is 19l."
"The engine is a V-type twin cylinder, sohc single overhead camshaft model. Four-stroke, four-valve, absolutely strong enough."
"The engine displacement is, the cylinder is, the gear is automatic cvtebs and reverse gear, the front tire size is 25x8-12, and the rear tire size is 25x10-12..."
Reyek is a mechanical maniac. When it comes to motorboats or ATVs, he talks endlessly. He introduces the front suspension, rear suspension, front brake, rear brake, etc. There are too many data and too many professional terms, so Qin Shiou was depressed.
"Stop, man, tell me the price directly, the prices of all the car styles you have here." Qin Shiou said with a headache.
Reyek patted the black car and said, "This is the Arctic Cat Thundercat-1000-h2, the price is 15,000 yuan, which is the best and most classic style. In addition, there are brands such as Yamaha, Bombardier, Honda, Kawasaki, Polaris, Suzuki, KTM..."
"Forget Japanese goods. I don't like Japanese things." Qin Shiou said. Mao Weilong, who had just arrived, gave him a thumbs up, and the two of them smiled and high-high.
Reyek shrugged and said, "Oh, then you'd better choose Arctic Cat or North Star, these are all things made by the Americans."
Qin Shiou ordered an Arctic Cat H2. This guy has outstanding off-road skills and can drive it around the town in the future or even climb mountains and ridges. This thing doesn’t require a driver’s license.
Walking in, someone was loading and unloading the ATV. When Qin Shiou saw that there was a small car. The height of the car was only reaching the base of his thighs, and the tires were only about 30 cm, and the whole body was golden, looking cute and a little domineering.
"There is still a small trumpet?" Qin Shiou asked.
Reyek nodded and said, "This is Bombardier Lion S200, engine displacement..."
Qin Shiou spread his hands helplessly. Reyek understood what he meant, laughed and said, "Okay, I won't talk about the specific parameters. In short, this car has good performance and will not be fast. It is up to 40 meters and is suitable for children to drive. In addition, compared to adult cars, this car is specially equipped with an automatic guardrail bounce system, and the price is 10,000 yuan."
"It's not much cheaper than a big car?" Hamre said curiously.
Reyek introduced: "Big car is expensive on the engine and tires, and this small car is also expensive on the protection system."
Qin Shiou handed the bank card to Reyek and said, "Two, man, send it to my fishing boat."
"Look, a business." Reyek took the bank card and waved his hand with a smile.
A waiter outside came in and said, "Boss, Bill Sachie is here."
Reyek led a few people out and introduced: "Bill is the account manager of Dick Sea Aquatic Vegetation Company. He is a good guy, very rigorous, and he can find him any business matters."
At the door, Qin Shiou saw a middle-aged white man in his forties.
This man should be like Auerbach, with his blond hair meticulously combed. He was wearing a straight suit and a white shirt on the hot day, a blue tie hanging around his neck, a briefcase in his hand, and his feet were so bright that he could compete with Hamre.
After shaking hands, Bill Sach took out his business card first, held it in both hands, and gave one to him.
Hamre naturally and politely gave him one. Qin Shiou touched his nose awkwardly, grandma, Auerbach was not around, he was not prepared for anything.
Without Auerbach, Qin Shiou was just a nouveau riche who knew nothing. It can be said that after Auerbach was diagnosed with a brain tumor, he was most worried about Qin Shiou, so he must have asked Qin Shiou to raise four orphans to urge him to grow up and mature faster.
As a result, his illness is now under control, and with the improvement of the energy of the sea god, his physical condition is getting better and better. He stayed in the fishing ground every morning to serve vegetables and fruit trees, soaked in the hot spring in the afternoon, and tutored the four children's homework in the evening, which seemed very pleasant.
After exchanging business cards, Bill began to discuss issues related to grass seeds with Hamre and the other three. He was indeed very rigorous. As soon as Hamre said that they were from the farewell island, he immediately took out a document and said: "This is the lake water inspection report of Chenbao Lake, which records in detail the existing species and approximate proportions of aquatic plants in the lake."
Qin Shiou also got a report, with a total of about twenty pages, and the data in it is missing in detail. The species and proportion of aquatic plants have started in 1990. There is a test every five years, and the data is recorded in it. In addition, the report also has the preference of Asian carp for various aquatic plants.
Obviously, Bill was well prepared for his homework. He knew the source of the money he said goodbye to the town and the use of the money.
After they finished watching, Bill introduced: "For inland lakes, aquatic plants are very necessary. They are the habitat and shelter of many aquatic animals. At the same time, they also provide food for many animals - such as snails, ducks, water birds, frogs, etc. The most important thing is to provide oxygen for fish."
"I suggest you increase the cultivation of North American crown grass, which can better absorb animal and fish excrement, and has a strong ability to make oxygen. Most importantly, it is one of several aquatic plants that Asian carp cannot eat."
Hamre heard this, coughed and whispered: "Bill, there is one thing I want to say. The purpose of our buying grass seeds this time is not to limit Asian carp. Our purpose is to better shape the ecosystem of a lake area..."
Bill blinked in confusion and said, "Type the ecosystem?"
Qin Shiou saw that this would not be possible. Hamley is used to being a politician and likes to hide his words. It is obvious that Bill has difficulty understanding, so he said straight: "The aquatic plants we want to purchase don't matter whether Asian carp is eaten, as long as local fish like to eat them."
Bill frowned and said, "Then aren't you going to curb the breeding of Asian carp?"
Qin Shiou laughed and said, "We have found a solution to this."
Bill nodded and said, "Then it's very simple. Just sprinkle the seeds of the aquatic plants again according to the types and specific gravity of Chenbao Lake ten years ago?"
This plan is passed quickly, and the local government in Canada has this benefit. As long as the finances are disclosed, many issues can be passed in one step, without having to hold this meeting or that meeting to discuss.
Bill presented the types and prices of grass seeds. Hamley and Qin Shiou took his two subordinates to study it together and determined to initially purchase 120,000 total of 48 tons of water grass seeds.
The seeds of aquatic plants are more expensive than seaweed. In addition, the amount of 120,000 yuan includes aircraft rental fees and labor costs.
The matter was discussed almost the same, and the rest was signing the contract. This was quite serious and required a lawyer to be present. Both parties did not bring lawyers. Strictly speaking, Qin Shiou and Hamley did not bring lawyers. Bill actually had a lawyer qualification certificate. No wonder he was so rigorous!
Reyek is still treating guests to dinner. If he is in China and is doing business for the government, the government will have to treat him to a meal at all. This is not even a big deal in Canada.
After lunch, Hamley and others were going to hire a lawyer to draft a contract, while Qin Shiou and Mao Weilong started to wander around the St. Johns market.
The two of them bought a glass of fruit snow ice first, drinking the sour and sweet cool snow ice, slowly walking in the shadow of the market. Mao Weilong said: "The pace of life here is so slow. Living in such a place is called life. In Kyoto? That is called survival!"
Qin Shiou said: "Don't sigh, hurry up and see what you want to buy?"
"You treat me?" Mao Weilong said with a slutty smile.
Qin Shiou took out his cell phone and took a photo for him to see. Mao Weilong was puzzled. Qin Shiou laughed and said, "I'll let you see how big your face is, let you know how much you weigh, and I'll treat you, are you dreaming?"
I happened to walk to a mobile cart stall selling T-shirts and shorts. This is a feature of Newfoundland. Some small vendors sell clothes not on street stalls, but have small cars similar to domestic breakfast trucks, with clothes, shoes and hats placed inside.
This is not to avoid running away quickly when encountering urban management or something. It is based on tradition, the tradition of marine fishing boat trade.
The two of them walked to the stall, and they were wearing several T-shirts, which were very Chinese-style. The clothes were printed with Runzhi's avatars, Lei Feng's avatars, etc., and some T-shirts were printed with Runzhi's quotes, such as "Intellectual Youths Going to the Countryside", "You are like *Oh the Sun at O'clock," etc.
What’s funny is that the boss probably doesn’t know Chinese characters. If there are two clothes printed, it’s so interesting. One is ‘If you drive drunk, I will remarry’, and the other is ‘Sitting on the bottom of the mountain prison’, which makes Qin Shiou and Mao Weilong laugh.
Chapter completed!
