481. Farms and ranches
Qin Shiou felt uncomfortable when he parted, but his fishing ground was in Newfoundland, where everything was about him, so he still had to go back.
Qin's father was so clear: "Okay, don't be silly here, go back, remember to come back often."
"Don't you have to spend money on air tickets when you come back often?" Qin Shiou joked. Every time he said he wanted to come back, Qin's father and mother would object on the grounds of wasting travel expenses.
Qin's father took a sip of cigarettes and said, "I have invested so much money in the canning factory and I have made back a hundred trips of travel. Now I don't feel sorry for the money for travel."
After making fun of it, Qin Shiou mentioned that he had packed up a large bag and prepared to leave home. This time, Qin Peng found three pickup trucks, and his two apprentices drove one to give it away.
Of course, the key is to deliver luggage. Qin's father and Qin's mother prepared too many things for him. Half of the annual goods I bought before the New Year were stuffed into my suitcase and bag, which means that Qin Shiou had to charter a flight, otherwise he would definitely not be able to take such things away.
When he arrived at the provincial capital airport, Qin Shiou and Qin Peng hugged him and told him that when the child grew up, he went to Newfoundland to play with him to receive him. Qin Peng touched his nose and smiled, "Okay, I'll go and open my eyes, I haven't left the province yet."
Just like when he came, Qin Shiou rented a Challenger 350 this time.
The brand new and luxurious plane has been staying at the airport for a day and night, attracting the attention of a large number of passengers and arousing discussions about which domestic tycoon bought such a private luxury plane so willfully.
Compared to when he came back, this was not a tycoon, because Qin Shiou only had to pay half of the rent when he went back.
When he learned that he was a chartered flight back to Canada, Mao Weilong found him a partner with a shared lease. There were three people on the other side and were about to fly from Kyoto to Vancouver. This happened to be on the route from Kyoto to St. Johns. Qin Shiou hit it off with him, and the two chartered the flight back together.
Qin Shiou is not short of money now. But he still has a strong sense of small farmers and thinks it is good to save money. After all, they can only sit half of the challenger with 16 seats.
The challenger flew directly from the provincial capital to Kyoto. Qin Shiou played with Mao Weilong first. Seeing him and Winnie get along with affection, Mao Weilong sighed: "I didn't expect that, I didn't expect that you, Qin Shiou, a lewd guy, also found your wife."
Qin Shiou smiled and gave him an elbow, then asked who the man who shared the plane he introduced was.
Mao Weilong did not say in detail, and said vaguely that he was much better than him. He was a third-generation red, but he then said: "I won't cheat you, brother, that guy has a very good reputation in the circle. If you communicate more with him, as long as you work with him, you can basically handle domestic affairs in the future."
Qin Shiou didn't care. He stayed in Kyoto for a day and a night, and returned the next day. Mao Weilong gave him a bunch of things, including a sweater for Winnie.
"Pure handmade, this is my proud work that I have worked hard. Winnie, you must keep it." Mao Weilong said reluctantly.
Qin Shiou went over and looked at it. She scratched her head and said, "I said, was this woven in college? Why did it look so familiar?"
Hug and say goodbye, Qin Shiou returned to the plane, a majestic young man boarded the plane with a foreigner and a Chinese.
This young man looks a few years older than Qin Shiou. But he is not much worse, his temperament is strong and handsome. Although he is not very handsome, he may give people a good feeling.
"Hello. Mr. Qin Shiou? I am Mao Weilong's friend, named Ouyang Hai, a sea bigger than rivers and lakes." The young man smiled and reached out to introduce himself.
With a simple self-introduction, Ouyang Hai won some favors from Qin Shiou. This is an interesting person.
Another thing that won his favor is that when Ouyang Hai saw the amazingly beautiful Winnie, he looked like an ordinary woman. Without taking a look at her, he politely greeted her and went to her own position.
After the plane took off and reached the stratosphere stabilized, Qin Shiou went to the bar to drink and pressed his surging chest.
Ouyang Hai also happened to come over to drink, and the two started chatting.
Qin Shiou first introduced his identity in China and the fishing grounds in Newfoundland. When Ouyang Hai heard that he had a fishing ground, he asked about the current catch and the price of the fishing grounds. He asked in detail.
Later, Ouyang Hai also introduced some of his information. He did not mention his domestic background, but only said that he went to the United States to study in his childhood and never returned to China much later.
Ouyang Hai is much more domineering than Qin Shiou. He has a farm of 300,000 acres in Montana, USA, and a three-star Michelin restaurant in Vancouver. The chefs of the restaurant are two people who boarded the plane with him, one of whom is a French chef.
As we chatted later, the two sides began to exchange information. Qin Shiou became interested in Ouyang Hai's experience. He suddenly realized that investing in a farm seemed good.
Realizing his thoughts, Ouyang Hai introduced him to the situation of farms in Canada: "It is good to invest in large farms now. In the past nine years, the world's grain consumption has exceeded production in eight years, and the grain stock is less than consumption and continues to decline."
"Due to population expansion, changes in dietary habits, and the impact of biofuels, the whole world is facing a food crisis. Don't think I'm scared to hear it. These are some of the information I have summarized after traveling around the world."
The Chinese chef who was with Ouyang Hai interjected: "Ouyang did have an amazing global journey, and Abbe and I were saved by him during the trip."
Ouyang Hai smiled and said, don’t mention the past, you two can just build a restaurant well.
Qin Shiou asked: "If you buy a farm, is it better to buy it in Canada or the United States?"
Ouyang Hai thought for a while and said, "Depending on your living habits, it's almost the same. I suggest you stay in Canada. There are also many high-quality ranches and farms in the Prairie area. It should be good to buy one in Saskatchewan."
Another name for the Prairie area is the Prairie Three Provinces, where Winni's home is located.
This is a narrow strip of more than 400 kilometers adjacent to the United States. The soil is mainly brown soil and black soil. The farmland area accounts for three-quarters of Canada. Saskatchewan's wheat production accounts for three-fifths of Canada's wheat production and one-tenth of the world's exports.
For more than ten hours along the way, Qin Shiou was discussing information between fishing grounds, farms and ranches with Ouyang Hai. Both of them had professional insights in related fields, so the discussion was very lively.
Finally, when he arrived in Vancouver, Ouyang Hai was about to get off the plane. He asked the Chinese chef to transfer the money to Winnie, and then gave Qin Shiou a business card, saying that the two of them would contact each other in the future.
Qin Shiou looked at the business card. The name on it was very simple, with only two: the farmer, the traveler, and the others were the name and phone number.
Auerbach gave him a business card, Qin Shiou looked at it and laughed. His was just as simple as the fishing owner and philanthropist.
