Chapter 659: Fantastic Manor
These purples are all lavender, all on both sides of the road, and you can't see the edge at a glance, compared to the lavender fields on the other side of the Great Ocean Road, this is a grandfather, and there is not even a grandson over there. The car is driving here like two beetles crawling in a rice field, and it looks so small.
"This Nima is where the gods live!" After a sharp turn, a pure white two-story building suddenly appeared in a patch of purple, not only the building was white, but the surrounding fence was also white, only a dozen big trees in the yard in front of the door were green.
"Paul, are we going to live here?" Erin asked in surprise as she saw the car continue towards the house.
"Well, how? Beautiful, right? This is a temporary loan from a European friend, but 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 pleased with Irene's response.
"It doesn't matter, Hong Tao's cooking skills are good, he can make you eat completely different food at every meal for a month. And living here, I'm happy even if I only eat dry bread every day! Katie sold Hong Tao directly.
"Ahh Ahh 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'm going to go back to the U.S. next spring, and you tell Sam, don't rush to buy a house yet, and when I win the championship at the end of the year, I'll give him all the prize money. I've calculated that I can probably have more than 2 million dollars, and let Sam buy a house like this, and when we are old, we will move in and leave it to our children! Standing on the balcony on the second floor of the small building, Hong Tao still didn't see the end of this purple ocean.
He is not a person who knows how to appreciate aesthetics, nor does he have any artistic cells, let alone any poetry, but he can feel the comfort that this scenery brings to him at this time. It would definitely be nice to stay in such a place.
"And me, I'll move in too!" Before Erin could speak, Katie agreed.
"Are you going to play professionally? You don't want to spend a long time in the United States, don't you want to? Erin didn't think about the things that hadn't been brushed up yet, she just wondered why Hong Tao had suddenly changed his mind.
"Alas, I'm willing to lie at home and play games, go fishing on the beach after dinner at night, and play chess with the old man, but it's too easy to earn that money, and it's a crime for me not to earn it!"
"You just brag! If you want to win all the championships throughout the year, then you won't be a god? Katie doesn't know much about Hong Tao's movements over the years. Just know that he has won several fishing championships.
"What about our hunting company? You have been abroad for more than half a year, what should the company do? Do you want to rely on Reicher to help you all the time? Erin doesn't seem to be willing to let Hong Tao play professional fishing for a living.
"Let Katie go to Beijing, one of you sisters, just right, and she knows what those contracts are, I don't like to work in the office, and I also have an idea, I also need money, a lot of money." Hong Tao mentioned doing something about the company. I'm really not interested.
"What idea?"
"I want to rent a reservoir in China, and then improve the environment and stock some fish fry, so that everyone in China can go fishing there." Hong Tao said his idea.
"Why rent a reservoir? Aren't there many places where you can fish if you want to fish? "It's not just Katie who doesn't understand. Erin didn't quite understand Hong Tao's thoughts, in their opinion, if they went out and found a place with water, they could fish, so why should they rent a reservoir to raise fish by themselves.
"Oh. That's it! Can the reservoir be rented? At least not in the United States, it is the property of the state government or the federal government, and I have never heard of a rented reservoir! And even if you can rent a reservoir. Will the residents downstream be willing? They will take you to court, because you don't have the ability to maintain the dam, you can't guarantee the safety of the dam, and you threaten the lives of the people living downstream, so you will definitely lose this kind of lawsuit. "Katie now finally looks a bit like a professional lawyer.
"China is different from the United States, it can be rented in China, but the dam is not within the scope of rental, and I don't know the specifics of these things, I have called my friends in China, and asked them to help me inquire first, and then make a decision after I return to China, whether it will be successful or not." Hong Tao is also blind to the laws and regulations of domestic reservoir contracting, and it is okay to fool the layman, so don't talk nonsense with these professionals.
"I don't think it's a good idea, but that's your and Irene's problem." Katie shrugged her shoulders and said it wasn't her business.
"I don't know much about China's laws in this area, so I can't help you much, so let's wait until you return to China, since you don't want to manage the company, then let Katie go back to Beijing with you, but she must live with Raiccher!" Did you hear that? Erin, like Katie, doesn't know much about China's domestic laws in this area, so she can't give Hong Tao any advice.
There wasn't much time left for Hong Tao and Sister Erin to enjoy the view, and before they could figure out the inside and outside of the small building, Paul received a call from the other members of the fishing team, who had arrived in Hobart and were waiting for Paul to drive to pick them up. Hong Tao and these members of the fishing team have always been neither famous nor seen, and now that they are here, they have to go to the dock in person to express their expression, and they bring more things, and Paul and Carl may not be able to fit it in two cars alone, so Hong Tao also has to drive a car to the dock together.
This pier is not the dock of Hobart Harbour, but a small pier about 2 kilometers west of this lavender manor, there is only one trestle here, which is usually used by some nearby manor villas to dock sailboats, but when Hong Tao arrived in a car, there was a big one in the middle of the trestle that was obviously different from those sailboats!
"That's our Manhattan, how about it, isn't it?" Paul did not rush to pick up people, but first introduced Hong Tao to the ship in the distance.
"It's pretty, what model is it?" Hong Tao doesn't know much about the high-end and high-grade rich toys of fishing boats, and the only thing he has come into contact with is the one of the fat boss's relatives when he went to the Dongsha Islands.
"The Hartres GT63 has four cabins and a galley, a displacement of about 50 tons, two Caterpillar diesel engines, 3,800 horsepower, and can run at high speeds of more than 40 knots when the waves are not large. As for the detailed data, then you can only ask Carter, he is the captain of this ship, he knows every screw on the ship, you better not say that his ship is bad, he will hate you! Paul walked with Hong Tao up the trestle and gave Hong Tao an overview of the rest of the team, especially Captain Carter.
"No problem, I'll say his ship is better than the world's richest boat, don't worry." Hong Tao is very skilled in the use of the means of praising and fooling people, not to mention such a fishing boat that looks very good, even if it is a broken fishing boat, he can say a hundred advantages.
"The richest man in the world? Bill. Gates? You'd better not mention him, his boat is also from Hatres, but it's a 60MY, which is 3 inches smaller than this one. You don't know who buys them, but many American celebrities own Hatres' yachts or fishing boats, so you'd better not mention the Americans. Paul was not satisfied with Hong Tao's performance, and reminded him again.
"Ahh Comrade Gates' ship is smaller than this one? Then let's do it, I won't talk about celebrities, I'll say something else. Hong Tao was so casual, but he didn't expect to get to the point.
"This boat is so wide!" When Hong Tao approached the fishing boat, which had been painted light blue, he finally saw that this fishing boat was different from other fishing boats or yachts he had seen, it had a smaller aspect ratio. This type of boat has more space inside and is slightly smoother, but it can be a little slower because the wider the hull, the greater the drag.
"Hey, Paul, Carl! Are you the Chinese boy? Sorry, I forgot your last name again, Paul once told me that you are ......" Just as Paul and Hong Tao had just arrived at the stern of the fishing boat, a shout suddenly came from their heads, and a middle-aged man with eyes and bald head poked his head out of the flybridge and greeted him down.
"It's Hong Tao, Hong Tao! Don't you watch TV? He's a winner at FLW Lake Okeechobee, and he's fishing for that largemouth bass that's taller than you, and hello, I'm Philip, and welcome to the Manhattan. The short man above was Arrborough, and he would not remember anything, he could only remember who the loan was lent to, and when the interest should be charged. Before Hong Tao could introduce his name and surname, another person came out of the closed flybridge, stretched out his hand as agile as a monkey, slipped down directly from the gangway, and jumped up the trestle from the stern of the boat in two steps.
"Hello, hello! Arborough, you too! Hong Tao didn't expect that Philip, who was taller and stronger than himself, would be so enthusiastic, and quickly stretched out his left hand to say hello to the person on the flybridge, the etiquette for the first meeting must be in place, as for who is important and who is not, this will have to be slowly explored by himself in the future, some people who look more boring may be powerful, such as that Arrborough, and some people who look more hot may be a master who can speak, such as this Philip.
"Hey, Babu, don't toss those machines in the cabin, come on, let's go back to the manor, let's take our luggage and go." Paul boarded the fishing boat from the stern, then leaned on a seat and shouted below deck, and then into the building. (To be continued......)
