Chapter 1444

Qin Shiou sat in front of the car with Weini and asked, "is it beautiful?"

Winnie smiled and said, "at least it's interesting. It's much more interesting than our Christmas Eve in Winnipeg."

The cigarette gun gave the two people a conch boat lamp. Qin Shiou saw the words on it and looked at it with his car headlights. The smooth and smooth sides of the conch were written with a line of words: May the world be gentle to us, and may God coexist with us forever.

This kind of lamp originally has the meaning of blessing lamp. People release it on the night before Christmas. At first, it is for prayer.

Cameron led the crew to shoot in another direction. There are multiple scenes by the lake, a temporary track is paved, and cameras are constantly driving on it like trains.

On the dock of Chenbao lake, Leonardo was talking to the heroine you and me. Looking at the way they put the boat lights together, Qin Shiou scratched his arm and muttered, "Xuete, this movie must be on the street! Disaster films are not literary films. What's the virtue of making them? "

Winnie said, "you're so stupid. Do you think everything they shoot will be released? Of course not! There are still clips in the later stage. Many inappropriate shots will be cut off. "

Qin Shiou agrees with this. It's common sense in movies, but he doesn't want to discuss it. It's a bad scene.

Hugging his wife and daughter, Qin Shiou took out his mobile phone and recorded the night with crazy selfie.

The next day is Christmas Eve. The atmosphere of Christmas is shrouded all over the town. Shops on both sides of the street play songs such as Christmas carols day and night.

The shops in the town had a low-cost sale and had a month's inventory. They sold it out in these two days. When Qin Shiou drove to the town to buy bells, he heard speakers shouting in Chinese "jump off the building sale, invoice" at the door of several stores.

Relying on the tourism industry, the town is booming. Qin Shiou remembers that he read a document from Weini, saying that the per capita GDP of farewell town in the three quarters of this year has entered the top three of all towns in Newfoundland!

Now not only Chinese tourists come to farewell Town, but also many American tourists and tourists from other parts of Asia.

The reason for this is not only that the island is famous for its paradise back garden, but also that the Canadian dollar is weak.

The weakness of the Canadian dollar means that the foreign exchange rate of the Canadian dollar has decreased. Last summer, the Canadian dollar exchange rate was still more than 90 cents, fell to 85 cents in January this year, and then fell all the way. It was about 80 cents in June, and now it has fallen to 76 cents.

In the past two years, Canada's economic situation has become worse and worse, which is directly related to the weakness of the Canadian dollar. Many industries, especially manufacturing, have suffered great losses.

However, some industries are different. They happen to be popular with the weakness of the Canadian dollar, such as the export industry and tourism.

This is easy to understand. A dollar used to be converted into about 1.2 Canadian dollars. You can buy two Canadian lollipops. Now it can be converted into 1.4 Canadian dollars. In addition to buying two lollipops, you can also add a piece of chewing gum, so the export industry has become prosperous.

Like tourism, in the past, American tourists could exchange 10000 US dollars for 12000 Canadian dollars. Now it is 1400 Canadian dollars. With the same 10000 US dollars, they can enjoy 2000 Canadian dollars more.

As for inflation? They don't consider this because most of them haven't been to Canada before. They don't know how much the price changes, so they know they can get more Canadian dollars.

The "cheap" Canadian dollar is full of attraction to tourists. Tourists think that spending on vacation in Canada has become cheaper, so they will come uninvited.

Qin Shiou looked at the data released by Statistics Canada. In October, the number of American tourists to Canada reached 1.9 million, the highest "monthly visit" in seven years, an increase of 3.3% over September.

Farewell Island took the opportunity to attract some tourists. After Winnie came to power, the town developed activities such as carriage retro sightseeing, whale watching and dolphin watching, which is also attractive to American tourists.

For these tourists, the favorite of farewell town is Chinese tourists. The advantage of American tourists is that they are generous. They give high tips, often as high as 20%.

In contrast, many tourists from China and other parts of Asia do not have this habit. Even tipping is symbolic, leaving a few dollars. However, Chinese tourists have money and are willing to spend money, buy souvenirs and enjoy big meals, which is unmatched by tourists in the United States and other places.

Qin Shiou habitually went to Hughes convenience store for a cup of coffee. As a result, there was no seat in it. Hughes saw him, called him into the cashier and grinded him a cup of coffee.

"Business is booming, huh?" Qin Shiou asked with a smile when he took the coffee.

Hughes nodded with satisfaction and said, "this year's tourism market is really great. Next year will be better, better than the previous year and last year."

Tourism is one of the industries most sensitive to the exchange rate. This year, due to the low exchange rate of the Canadian dollar, it has felt that it will become a tourism hotspot for tourists from all over the world. It is particularly clear to say goodbye to a small place on the island. You can feel it by selling more doughnuts the next day than the first day.

"Is there any policy to stimulate tourism in the town?" Qin Shiou chatted casually over coffee.

Hughes lay down in front of him and said, "don't tease me, man. You're the mayor's husband. Don't you know better than us?"

Qin Shiou shook his head and said, "you have to believe the mayor's integrity. She never talks about business with me when she gets home. Of course, if you need my help, it's another matter. She must be the first to put it forward."

Hughes smiled. He explained that the town really needs to change a little. First, after the spring of next year, the town will change the ferry: "change to a better boat, such as a yacht."

In addition, the town will also develop several whale watching holy places. "I heard that the town plans to install a whale watching camera in the sea, that is, a floating camera with solar charging panel. At that time, install a large screen on the street to see the scene in the sea."

Qin Shiou said, "that must be beautiful, isn't it?"

Hughes said with a smile, "of course, I can't wait to see what happened at that time. Oh, I'm going to expand the convenience store a little. I bought the shop next door and ready to get through it. What do you think?"

Qin Shiou looked at the crowded shelves and said, "it's a good idea now, but be careful to take too big steps to pull the eggs. However, in other words, this is an opportunity for development. If you don't seize it, I bet you won't even feel like flying in the future."

After listening to this, Hughes smiled. He winked at Qin Shiou and said, "what's the matter? Have you ever hit a plane after marriage?"

Qin Shiou quickly drank the last sip of coffee in the cup, threw away the paper cup and said with a smile, "bye, man, I have to go shopping. I still have a lot of work to do back."
