1339. World War II Memorial Day
Qin Shiou finally sold Red Coral to Xiao Hilton at a 50% discount. The condition was that Xiao Hilton would give him a match and could meet with the contemporary helmsman of the Hilton family in the future and talk about this cooperative project.
Little Hilton could not decide on such in-depth cooperation. She did not have this qualification. Although she owned part of the family's equity, to be honest, there were only a few. She just had such a surname in the Hilton family.
Not to mention Hilton, even her father and uncles, the actual power of the Hilton family in the United States has a wide influence on Hilton International Hotel Group, and they only have a part of the equity of this group.
However, as long as the Hilton family is willing to cooperate with Daqin Seafood, this project can enter the Hilton International Hotel Group, so little Hilton has a great role and she is the link to connect this cooperative project.
Qin Shiou hopes to cooperate. You should know that Hilton International Hotel is one of the giants in the world's service industry. It operates and manages 403 high-end hotels around the world, including 261 Hilton hotels.
In addition, it has combined with Hilton Hotel Management to form a global hotel marketing alliance. The total number of hotels under both sides has exceeded 2,700, of which more than 500 hotels share the Hilton brand and has 80,000 employees in more than 80 countries.
If Daqin Seafood can be sold with its brand and channels, then Qin Shiou can directly list its own brand, and it can occupy the high-end seafood food market in most countries around the world in just four or five years.
When talking about business, Little Hilton became serious. She told Qin Shiou clearly that she could not make decisions in this regard, and her relatives could not make decisions.
Qin Shiou shrugged and said, "It's okay. You just need to introduce me to your father. No matter whether things are done or not, the half red coral can be sold to you at a 50% discount."
Little Hilton laughed, "I smelled the conspiracy. But who made me like that piece of red coral? I'm willing to promise you, but if you're willing to give it to me, I can help you more at this point."
Qin Shiou approached her and said, "Beauty, I'm not Kaizi. If you want to slaughter pigs, go to the Middle East. There are so many money there. The 50% discount is enough to reflect my sincerity, right?"
Little Hilton took a half step back and said, "You are such a bastard who is confused."
Qin Shiou smiled and waved his hand, put down a hundred dollars under the coffee cup, picked up the clothes and left.
Looking at his back, little Hilton frowned thoughtfully, not knowing what he was thinking.
After leaving the cafe, Qin Shiou called Butler and told him about his thoughts on the Hilton Hotel.
Butler said: "This idea is very good, but it may not be possible. The premise of cooperation is that both parties have equal strength, but we are still just a weak and pitiful bug compared to the huge Hilton."
Qin Shiou said: "If you have the chance, you can try it, then you have to try it, right?"
Butler agreed with his idea: "Ok, are you still in New York now? Maybe we can meet and discuss the details. If we can work with the Hilton Hotel, we will soar to the sky."
Qin Shiou said: "Let's talk later. I'm going back. I have to participate in an event, a very important event."
This important event is the commemoration of World War II Armistice Day.
In Canada, the widely recognized World War II broke out on September 1, 1939 and ended on September 2, 1945. Compared with China, this country far from Eurasia suffered little damage to the war.
However, Canadians attach great importance to this war, and there are many commemorative activities every year. Governments at all levels must do it seriously, because they think of an effect of preventing problems before they happen.
Canada also sent troops to fight the Nazis during World War II. The losses were quite large - of course, this "not small" was measured by the Canadian force participating in the war. Compared with China, its losses were not even considered a shaved skin.
St. Johns' commemoration event this year has specially added two themes, one is ‘the contribution of women’ and the other is ‘the contribution of Chinese people’. This is mainly added by Hamreli, aiming to increase the Chinese’s voice in St. Johns and enhance the Chinese’s status in St. Johns.
In fact, after all, he used this trick to please Qin Shiou. After all, Qin Shiou was his number one financial supporter in the election.
Less than two days after returning to the fishing ground, Qin Shiou, accompanied by Winnie, rushed to St. Johns, and the related activities lasted all day.
When boarding the boat, Shaq came over and reported: "Boss, try to return today. I just received news from the weather station that the colorado low pressure center in the western United States began to move toward the back of Ontario. St. Johns will be affected by the edge of the air pressure and may have strong storms."
Qin Shiou asked about the wind speed, and Shaq said that the maximum wind speed can reach 90km per hour, and the average is 50km.
Qin Shiou grinned. The wind speed is quite high. According to the wind level classification standard of 12 wind power, 90km/h is a strong wind of level 10. It is rare on land. It can lift trees, waves roll and roar, and even seriously damage buildings.
When he drove the boat, he looked up at the sky. Now the sky in St. Johns is still cloudless and the sun is shining brightly. It is impossible to imagine that a great storm is coming soon.
The yacht was sailing rapidly, and Qin Shiou, who was standing on the deck, felt a hint of coolness. Now the sea breeze was blowing, and it was already a little cold.
The city government sent a special car to receive the two, and took them directly to the Newfoundland Baptist's rectangular Cathedral of Christ, which is often held in the church.
Hamre brought the city government's politicians to receive the guests. When Qin Shiou and Winnie arrived, the first person to entertain them was Hamre's assistant Simmons, who took them to visit.
There is a room in the church that is arranged in the style of an exhibition hall, which is an exhibition entitled "World, War, Women", introducing the contributions of Canadian women in the war.
Simmons said: "We want to commemorate the soldiers who died in the war, but we cannot ignore the mental casualties suffered by the great women in the war. This time we hold a commemorative event, we will focus on this, which is the first time in Newfoundland."
Winnie shrugged at him quietly and said, "For the first time? So you always say what feminist independence is. Do you see if we are independent?"
Simmons introduced them, and Qin Shiou then learned that although Canada is far away from the war, during World War II, 100,000 Canadian women still lost their husbands, sons or brothers. The damage to Canada by this war was not as minor as he imagined. (To be continued)
