305. Be a Guest
The call was called by Yan Donglei, who is the president of the Newfoundland branch of the Canadian Chinese Mutual Aid Association.
Qin Shiou answered the phone, and Yan Donglei's hearty laughter rang and said, "Xiao Qin, you are very popular recently."
As soon as he heard this, Qin Shiou knew what it meant and smiled bitterly: "The compatriots in China are too troublesome. Fortunately, I don't have a Weibo account, otherwise this guy would be in trouble."
The two chatted casually, and Yan Donglei expressed his original intention: "There are several activities we have recently with Chinese mutual aid. I wonder if you are interested. One is the anniversary of the 918 Incident, the Mid-Autumn Festival on the 30th, and the other is the National Day on October 1st."
Qin Shiou didn't mind attending several parties. It was always good to meet some senior officials, but he was really embarrassed and said, "I have to go back to China on the Mid-Autumn Festival. I have to go home to accompany my parents on this festival."
The Mid-Autumn Festival is almost connected with the National Day. As long as he returns to his country to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival, he will not be able to attend the National Day party.
Yan Donglei attached great importance to Qin Shiou, the young rich man, and asked: "Can you pick up your uncle and aunt to Newfoundland? There are many compatriots here and the parties are very lively."
Qin Shiou smiled bitterly and said, "I can't do this. Brother Yan, you may not know that my parents are particularly stubborn farmers. They have a feeling that we don't understand about the land at home. In autumn, they will never leave their home no matter what."
This is very common in Qin Shiou's hometown. Many people who work outside will take leave during the autumn harvest season and go home to work on farm work. Even though all the harvests in the fields are sold, they cannot afford their salary these days of losing work.
Since Qin Shiou said that, Yan Donglei had no choice. He said: "Are you interested in the 918th anniversary party? There will be a lot of compatriots participating at that time."
If you are not interested, you have to participate, otherwise you will refuse all three invitations. It would be a bit too rude, so that people will not take you to play with when there is an event in the future.
After that, 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 check it out.
After lunch break, Qin Shiou opened the email and looked at it in the afternoon. There was an electronic invitation letter in it. It needed to download it. You had to scan the code before you could enter.
In addition, it is important to note. There will be a charity event after this gathering. Everyone auctions something, and the funds earned are placed in private equity funds in Chinese business districts to support the development of Chinese companies.
Of course, there is no requirement for auction items. It can be a piece of text written by yourself or some gadgets you collected. At that time, no one can buy it at the auction, so you can spend hundreds or thousands to buy it yourself. This is considered a donation.
Qin Shiou and Winnie talked about Weil's invitation and the 918th anniversary party. Both of them have to bring their female companions, and Winnie needs to take leave.
Winnie said it was no problem. She was not taking all the groups now, and was mainly responsible for leading the group to St. Johns to purchase and visit the town.
After dinner, Winnie took Hu Zi, Leopard and Xiong Da for a walk on the beach. Qin Shiou sneaked the consciousness of the sea god into the fishing ground and probably made a revolve around.
The fishing grounds have no problem developing, and the fish are still mainly concentrated in the waters of the Daqin Fishery. There are still few fish in the other four fishery grounds. However, they have appeared. Qin Shiou instilled the energy of the sea god into the seaweed in these fishing grounds. Only by developing the bottom layer of the food chain can a complete ecosystem be established.
Later, Qin Shiou suddenly realized that he had been too harvested recently and lacked development. So he controlled a man-eating shark and big green marlin to attack southwest and southeast to see if he could find any good things.
On September 14, Qin Shiou took Winnie to visit Weier's house, which was an ordinary date. So there was no need to wear a dress.
Qin Shiou brought the frozen turbot and queen crab, a specialty of fishing ground, as gifts. In addition, he knew that Wel had an eight-year-old son and a two-year-old daughter. After talking to Winnie, Winnie picked a set of Transformers toys for the child. Now "Transformers" is popular all over the world, and the status of toys is also rising.
Weil drove his Chevrolet Silverado pickup truck to pick up people. This car is the second most popular pickup truck in the North American pickup market. The Ford F150 with the best sales volume is naturally the Ford F150, and it is next.
In the United States and Canada, pickup truck sales are particularly good. Qin Shiou traveled in St. Johns and Montreal and saw the most cars on the road were pickup trucks, not cars.
This is also related to Canada's national conditions. This country is so vast that many small towns are scattered on the vast land.
This is a bit inconvenient for a Canadian resident who is not living in the city. The supermarket closest to his home is usually 50 kilometers or even 100 kilometers away. If you don’t want to run long distances every day, every time you go shopping, it is basically the same as buying goods for the Sakura. It’s really hard to handle without a pickup truck.
In addition, influenced by the American pickup culture, Canadians also have pickup truck traditions. Many families have pickup trucks passed down from their grandfathers. This also affects their choice when buying a car. After all, grandpa and dad drive pickup trucks. They also touched pickup trucks when they were young. So why not buy pickup trucks if they bought it?
The Chevrolet silverado is a very classic pickup truck, very aggressive, nicknamed "Locomotive". In the promotional video, the cart installed an aviation turbofan directly at the cargo bucket and then ran into the Canadian ice field to show its excellent and abnormal performance.
After getting in the car, Winnie talked about pickup truck culture with Weier. Qin Shiou couldn't get into it. In his opinion, the most awesome car was a sports car, or a luxury SUV. Pickup trucks were not his food.
But for Weil, pickup trucks are the favorite. After Winnie started the topic, he said enthusiastically: "Our Weil family started with a second-hand pickup truck. I still remember that my grandfather bought a Ford heavy-duty at that time!"
"Heavy-duty? Oh, that's a classic and good car. Were, I have to admit that your grandfather bought a treasure. Popeye, that's Ford's first-generation ace pickup truck, and with it you can do anything. It uses a 95-hp 3.6-liter inline six-cylinder engine, right? My grandfather once had one, which he regarded as a treasure." Winnie continued.
Weier nodded happily and said, "Yes, yes, Winnie, what you said is completely correct. It is relying on that pickup truck. Our Weier Construction Group started construction. Starting from transporting cement to people, to working ourselves, a black slave's grandson, he slowly owned his own construction group."
"Legend, that's all I can say." Winnie nodded.
Weier laughed. After arriving at his house, Qin Shiou felt that this guy wanted to kill chicken heads and burn yellow paper with Winnie to become a brother and sister of the opposite sex.
