These purples are all lavender, and they are all on both sides of the road. You can't see the edge at a glance. Compared with the lavender fields on the Great Ocean Road, here is the grandfather, and there is not even a grandson. The car driving here is like two
The beetles crawling in the rice fields look so small.
"This must be the place where gods live!" After a sharp turn, a pure white two-story building suddenly appeared among the purple. Not only was the building white, but the surrounding fence was also white, and only the front door was white.
The dozen or so big trees in the yard are green.
"Paul, are we going to live here?" Erin asked in surprise when she saw the car continuing to drive towards the house.
"Well, how is it? It's beautiful, isn't it? I rented this temporarily from a European friend. Unfortunately, there is only one farmer here to help him look after the house, and we have to cook and eat by ourselves." Paul was very satisfied with Irene's reaction.
"It doesn't matter, Hong Tao's cooking skills are so good. He can make you eat completely different food for every meal for a month. And living here, I would be happy even if I only eat dry bread every day!" Katie said directly
He betrayed Hong Tao.
"A sneeze! A sneeze! Am I allergic to pollen?" At this time, in another car, Hong Tao suddenly sneezed and he closed the window in confusion.
"The life of a rich person is good! Erin, I plan to return to the United States to compete in the competition next spring. You and Sam said, don't rush to buy a house now. When I win the championship at the end of the year, give him all the bonus. I
After doing the math, I can probably have more than 2 million US dollars. Let Sam also buy a house like this. When we are old, we will move there and leave it to our children!" Standing on the balcony on the second floor of the small building
Up, Hong Tao still couldn't see the end of this purple ocean.
He is not a person who knows much about aesthetics, nor does he have any artistic ability, nor can he hold back any poetry. However, at this time, he can feel the comfort that this scenery brings to him. Living in such a place will definitely make him feel very happy.
good.
"And me, I'll move here too!" Katie agreed before Irene could say anything.
"Are you planning to participate in a professional competition? That requires staying in the United States for a long time. Aren't you unwilling?" Irene didn't think about the things that hadn't been revealed yet. She just wondered why Hong Tao suddenly changed.
Previous thoughts.
"Well, I would also like to lie at home and play games, go fishing on the beach in the evening after dinner, and play chess with the old man, but the money is too easy to earn. It would be a crime for me not to earn it!"
"Just brag! If you still want to win all the championships throughout the year, then you have become a god?" Katie didn't know much about Hong Tao's movements over the years, but she only knew how many times he had won the fishing championship.
"What about our hunting guide company? What will happen to the company after you have been abroad for more than half a year? Do you want to always rely on Lei Che to help you?" Irene seemed reluctant to let Hong Tao make a living by playing professional fishing competitions.
"Let Katie go to Beijing. You two sisters, one on each side, just right. And she also knows about those contracts and so on. I don't like office work very much. In addition, I have an idea that also needs money. A lot of it.
Money." Hong Tao was really not interested when it came to working in a company or something.
"What idea?"
"I want to rent a reservoir in China, improve the environment, and stock some fish fry, so that people in China can go fishing there." Hong Tao expressed his idea.
"Why rent a reservoir? If you want to fish, aren't there many places where you can fish?" Not only Katie didn't understand, but Irene didn't understand Hong Tao's thoughts either. In their opinion, it's not enough to go out and find a place with water.
If you are already fishing, why should you rent a reservoir to raise fish and catch fish yourself?
"Oh, that's it! Can the reservoir be rented out? At least not in the United States. It is the property of the state or federal government. I have never heard of anyone renting the reservoir! And even if you can rent the reservoir, the residents downstream will
Are you willing? They will take you to court because you have no ability to maintain the dam, cannot ensure the safety of the dam, and have threatened the lives of downstream residents, so you will definitely lose this lawsuit." Katie now looks like
Finally, I feel a bit like a professional lawyer.
"China is different from the United States. You can rent it in China. However, dams are not within the scope of leasing. I don't know the details of these things. I have called my friends in China and asked them to help me find out first.
"I'll make a decision after I return to China. I'm not sure whether it will work or not." Hong Tao also cast a blind eye on the laws and regulations on contracting domestic reservoirs. It's fine for him to fool laymen, but he shouldn't talk nonsense with these professionals.
"I don't think this is a good idea, but this is a problem between you and Irene." Katie shrugged, saying that it didn't matter to her.
"I don't know much about China's laws in this area, so I can't give you much help. Let's wait until you return to China. Since you don't want to manage the company, let Katie go back to Beijing with you, but she must
Live with Rachel! Did you hear that?" Erin, like Katie, doesn't know much about the laws in this area in China, so she can't give Hong Tao any advice.
Sisters Hong Tao and Irene didn't have much time to enjoy the beautiful scenery. Before they could understand the inside and outside of this small building, Paul received a call from other members of the fishing team. They had arrived in Hobart and were on the way.
The dock is waiting for Paul to drive to pick him up. Hong Tao and these fishing teams
The members have always been neither famous nor met. Now that they are here, they have to go to the dock in person to express their gratitude. Moreover, they bring a lot of things. Paul and Carl alone may not be able to load them in two cars.
So Hong Tao also had to drive a car to the dock together.
This pier is not the pier of Hobart Port, but a small pier about 2 kilometers west of the lavender manor. There is only one trestle here, which is usually used by some nearby manor villas to dock sailboats, but when the floods open,
When we arrived by car, there was already a big ship docked in the middle of the trestle, which was obviously different from those sailboats!
"That's our Manhattan, how about it, isn't it good?" Paul was not in a hurry to pick up the people, but first introduced Hong Tao to the ship in the distance.
"It's very beautiful. What model is it?" Hong Tao didn't know much about high-end luxury toys like fishing boats. The only one he had come into contact with was the boat owned by the fat boss's relative when he went to the Dongsha Islands.
"The Hatteras GT63 has four cabins and a galley. It has a displacement of about 50 tons. It has two Caterpillar diesel engines with 3,800 horsepower. It can run at a high speed of more than 40 knots when the waves are not big.
As for more detailed data, you can only ask
"Carter, he is the captain of this ship, he knows every screw on the ship, you'd better not say anything bad about his ship, he will hate you!" Paul led Hong Tao to the trestle while giving
Hong Tao briefly introduced the situation of other people in the team, especially Captain Carter.
"No problem, I will say his boat is better than the boat of the world's richest man, don't worry." Hong Tao is very skillful in using tricks such as flattering and deceiving people, not to mention that such a boat looks very arrogant.
Even if it is a broken fishing boat, he can tell you a hundred advantages.
"The richest man in the world? Bill Gates? You'd better not mention him. His boat is also owned by Hartley Company, but it's only a 60MY, which is 3 inches smaller than this boat. You don't know who buys this kind of boat.
Someone, many American celebrities own Hatteras yachts or fishing boats, so you'd better not mention Americans." Paul was not satisfied with Hong Tao's performance and reminded him emphatically.
"Ah! Comrade Gates's boat is smaller than this one? That's fine, I won't talk about celebrities, I'll talk about other things." Hong Tao was just saying it casually, but he didn't expect that he actually got to the point.
"This boat is so wide!" When Hong Tao approached the fishing boat painted light blue, he finally saw the difference between this fishing boat and other fishing boats or yachts he had seen.
The length-to-width ratio is smaller. The internal space of a boat of this size is relatively large, and the stability is slightly better, but the speed may be slightly slower, because the wider the hull, the greater the resistance.
"Hey, Paul, Carl! Are you that Chinese boy? Sorry, I forgot your last name again. Paul once told me that you are..." Just when Paul and Hong Tao arrived at the fishing boat
At the tail end, a shout suddenly came from above, and a middle-aged man with eyes and a bald head stuck his head out from the flybridge and said hello below.
"It's Hong Tao, Hong Tao! Don't you watch TV? He is the champion of FLW Lake Okeechobee. The largemouth bass he caught is taller than you. Hello, I am Philip, welcome to join the Manhattan
The short man above is Yarbrough. He can’t remember anything. He can only remember who the loan was given to and what day it was.
Interest should be charged." Before Hong Tao could introduce his first and last name, another person emerged from the enclosed flybridge. He stretched out his hands as nimble as a monkey, slipped out of the gangway, and rushed from the stern of the ship in two steps.
When we got on the trestle, I held Hong Tao's hand and shook it. He didn't stop talking. He said everything that should be said and shouldn't be said.
"Hello, hello! Hello, Yarborough, too!" Hong Tao didn't expect that Philip, who was taller and stronger than himself, would be so enthusiastic. He quickly stretched out his left hand to say hello to the man on the flying bridge, a first-time meeting gift.
The rules must be in place. As for who is important and who is not, you have to figure it out on your own in the future. Some people who look dull may be powerful people, such as Yarbrough, and some people who look hot may be...
A master who can shout loudly, such as this Philip.
"Hey, Barb, stop messing with those machines in the cabin. Come on, let's go back to the manor. Let's take our luggage and leave." Paul boarded the fishing boat from the stern, then lay down on a seat and headed below the deck.
He shouted once, and then shouted again into the cabin.
