Chapter 26
Chapter 22: .The first holiday
The auction was over, and Qin Shiou had no interest in staying in Ottawa, so he went back home.
Little Blake invited Qin Shiou to stay in Ottawa to play for a while, and introduce him some friends by the way, but Qin Shiou was not interested and planned to return to the island, after all, that was his place.
“Well, since you insist, man, I can only wish you a smooth journey.” Little Blake said regretfully. He is about the same age as Qin Shiou, and he can talk together.
Qin Shiou smiled and said: “Thank you for your hospitality, brother, when I am free, go to bid farewell to the town. I invite you to drink ice wine.”
“Will you introduce me to a handsome guy?” Little Blake joked, “Qin, to be honest, you drove Margarita out that night and frightened me. You wouldn’t like men?”
Qin Shiou laughed and said, “If that were the case, then your chrysanthemum would have become a sunflower.”
Joking, little Blake sent Qin Shiou on the plane.
When Qin Shiou returned to the farewell town, the President No.1 he had bought before arrived, and the Cadillac dealer sent it to the town. The formalities and licenses were all completed. Someone had to drive it to travel the world.
After this brand-new President One arrived at Farewell Town, it caused a sensation.
Farewell town’s economy is not optimistic, especially since several fishing grounds on the island have closed down one after another, there is no fish to catch, and many people are unemployed at home.
Seeing this noble and domineering super SUV, young people are happy to hunt, and people keep taking pictures around the car.
When Qin Shiou received the car, there were two young people watching the car. He said hello. The two young people were a little embarrassed, scratching their heads and wanted to leave.
As a result, Qin Shiou threw the remote control board to the two of them and said with a smile: “If you like it, then take a stroll, guys, I think the stock in the fuel tank is enough for you to feel good.”
A figure came over and said, “Qin, you are a great young man.”
Qin Shiou glanced intently. It turned out to be the mayor William Hamley. This guy is still dressed up in an old English gentleman-style white suit, leather jacket, and bow tie, making it feel like he has come out of a 19th-century British movie.
“Mayor, hello.” Qin Shiou shook hands with him.
Hamley looked at the car with a smile, and said, “I think the price of President One must not be low.”
Qin Shiou heard the song and knew the elegant meaning, he smiled: “I understand, I understand, the mayor, tomorrow I will find Mr. Auerbach to accompany him to pay taxes and arrears on the fishery’s inheritance.”
Hamley nodded in satisfaction, and said: “Talking to smart people is easy, well, you continue to play, I want to stroll around the town.”
“Take my car for a drive?” Qin Shiou invited.
“Do you have a driver’s license?” Hamley asked jokingly.
He just picked it up casually. Canada and the United States are similar. Children can get their driver’s license when they get their ID cards.
However, Qin Shiou does not have a Canadian driver’s license!
“Who knows how to check?” He didn’t care.
In the afternoon, Auerbach came to him to discuss tax avoidance issues with him. Compared with the taxes paid for auctioning statues, taxes on inheritance inspections and the like are negligible.
Auerbach meant to use the tax paid by the auction of art to offset the fishery’s previous debts. In addition, he figured out a way to apply for the payment of taxes in installments, so that in the future, he could use the fishery’s invoices to purchase boat equipment to offset part of the tax.
Qin Shiou didn’t understand, nor did Auerbach, but he was a veteran lawyer and had a lot of knowledge. He proposed the first case, and later he will have to hire an accountant to operate it.
Auerbach left the meal as usual. Before leaving, he said again: “The day after tomorrow is your first holiday in the town to say goodbye. Would you like to participate?”
“What holiday?”
“Easter, this is a big day.”
Easter is indeed an important holiday in the West. The time is the first Sunday after the full moon of the vernal equinox.
Christians believe that Easter is a symbol of rebirth and hope, and is to commemorate the resurrection of **** Christ on the third day after the crucifixion.
Qin Shiou has not participated in Easter. He only knows Christmas during the Western Festival. He is still an angry young man in his life. He most despises the kind of peers who are not but local festivals but admire foreigners.
Now he has immigrated to Farewell Town and has taken over Daqin Fishery, so he will naturally have a lot of communication with the people in the town in the future, so he must integrate into their lives. There is no doubt that it is a good opportunity to spend the holidays with the people in the town.
Early the next morning, Qin Shiou drove to the town in a domineering new car.
Auerbach picked him up for breakfast, and Qin Shiou said, “I checked last night. Easter celebrations usually happen?”
“Yes, tomorrow I will take you to participate. Every year the town prepares a splendid dinner and fireworks show.”
“Generally speaking, how are the expenses for these activities issued?”
“The government is responsible for half, and the people in the town will donate half.”
Qin Shiou thought for a while, and said, “Okay, I am in charge of the half donated by the people in the town, how much is it about?”
He did this in order to gain a good reputation for himself. According to his estimates and online inquiries, the cost of bidding farewell to the whole Easter in the town was less than 500,000. He was responsible for at most 250,000, using 20 It’s worth 50,000 yuan to get the favor of the people in the town.
Since having the power of the heart of the ocean, Qin Shiou doesn’t care about money too much. There are countless treasures in the ocean, just like lost antiques like Perseus and Medusa statues. As long as he searches carefully, he can always Found.
He has thought about it. Even if he can’t find it, it’s a big deal that he will be able to make a lot of money in the future by using his abilities to catch the bastard.
So, now money is not a matter for him.
After hearing what he said, Auerbach swallowed the burger and looked at him in surprise, then laughed, and said, “It’s not necessary, Qin, it’s not necessary.”
Qin Shiou said: “I’m serious, man, you know, I’m serious.”
Auerbach smiled and said: “I thank you very much for your thoughts, young man, you are as heroic and kind as Old Qin, but at least you don’t need to worry about the cost of Easter. In fact, all the things you should buy now are all sold out. You can show it when you need to raise funds for other festivals in the future.”
Qin Shiou thought that this was indeed the case, and Auerbach said to him again: “However, you can buy some gifts, which is also great, isn’t it?”
Easter and Christmas are the same as gifts, and Easter gifts are related to spring and regeneration: eggs, chicks, bunnies, flowers, especially lilies are a symbol of this season.
Like Christmas, on the morning of Easter, children will find that the Easter basket in front of the bed is filled with chocolate eggs, Easter bunny, fluffy chickens, doll toys and other small things.
Of course, mutual gifts also include adults, and even the White House will hold an egg-rolling gift-giving event every Easter.
Qin Shiou walked out of the burger restaurant. He looked at the bare and deserted street and had an idea in his heart.
