British 1986

A barbecue grill has been set up in the large pavilion beside the lake.

The two swans were plucked clean, put on iron skewers and roasted over the fire until they were sizzling with oil.

Allen lay on the recliner with his eyes closed.

Monica stood behind Alan and rubbed his temples.

"You don't seem to be in good condition. What's wrong? Are you having trouble?"

Except for the sense of familiarity when we first met, all the way to the military academy while sitting in the car, that sense of familiarity has almost disappeared.

If an ordinary person, without any reputation or status, dared to attack Monica so easily, she would have been angry a long time ago.

But if this person were replaced by Allen, the situation would be different. Although she has made a lot of money in the past few years, which is enough for her to buy a house in a big city, etc., Monica has always lived in Allen. In the house that Lun gave her originally, she felt that it was her home, her and Allen's home.

But after waiting for so long, Allen never came.

Now that the two of them had just met, they felt both grievance and joy. However, she was not the kind of person who would lose her temper. Seeing that Allen was obviously not in good condition, she never mentioned why Allen hadn't been looking for her for so long. Instead, he asked Allen about himself.

"Hey, you don't understand my business. Tell me about you. I heard that you were attending an event in France. What were you doing?"

Allen didn't even open his eyes, enjoying Monica's massage. The smell of roasted swan in the distance filled his nostrils. Because this thing is wild, it is not as fat as a domestic goose, so the stewed taste needs a little longer. It's just a little bit worse, even if it's barbecue, you have to watch the heat.

"I went to the film festival, by the way. Do you know Adjani?"

Speaking of this, Monica instantly thought of someone else. This was someone she met when she attended a film festival in France, the flower of France - Adjani!

However, the communication between the two was not so beautiful.

No matter what Adjani's usual reputation is, her acting skills are absolutely top-notch, otherwise she would not have won the Cesar Award. When she met Monica, Adjani mocked her in a meaningful way, which made Mo Nika was confused. Finally, the other party mentioned Allen, and then Monica understood what was going on.

Now when Alan asked, old and new hatreds came to his heart, and the massage force on Monica's hands subconsciously became a little stronger.

"Um?"

This sour and slightly aggrieved emotion immediately made Allen wary. He hated this kind of thing the most. Everyone was obviously a loser, so why were they so careless?

But the atmosphere is here. If we don't say something, it's not good. It's a bit too confusing.

"Me and her? We're not too familiar with each other, we've been in contact with her a few times."

"real?"

"snort!"

Allen pretended to be a little angry at being questioned, and snorted coldly. Sure enough, Monica's little hands softened instantly. She rubbed them gently and said softly: "She mocked me and said that my acting skills were not good, but in the end she said After receiving the Cesar Award, I can’t say enough about her.”

"They are all French, so there must be a home field advantage."

Allen replied subconsciously.

“Although there are French people on the jury, the film festival is not entirely decided by the French!”

Monica retorted.

“When we hold a film festival in France, the French are the landlords, so it’s up to them to have the final say! Huh?”

When he said this, Allen paused. When he said these words, an idea suddenly flashed in his mind.

Whoever owns the territory has the final say, then

Whose territory is Canada now?

No matter whose territory it belongs to secretly, on the surface and in name, it is a member of the Commonwealth, and the Queen is their supreme leader! !

This is Great Britain’s territory!

Can you still be bullied by outsiders on your own territory?

After replaying what Governor Raymond said in the afternoon, Allen suddenly discovered the lines and context in it.

If the Liberal Party dares to push ethnic minorities into power to suppress British-Americans, who will be harmed?

Conservative Party!

But the Conservatives will certainly not watch the Liberals crack down on them further.

Therefore, we must fight back, but judging from the current results, the Conservative Party is weak and has never defeated anyone.

But Governor Raymond only stated this situation, but he did not come up with any clear measures. Why?

Because he is not a member of the Conservative Party!

Everyone is not in the same camp, so why should he help the conservatives?

The governor must be neutral!

But now he is taking the opportunity of chatting with Allen to reveal his "guess" to Allen. What does this mean?

First, he wanted to show his loyalty, and everyone understood this. His words seemed to be addressed to Allen, but if Allen went back to report on his work, the words might reach Boss Cha's ears.

Secondly, this can be regarded as pointing the way for Allen, and it can be regarded as a subtle way to convince Allen. If Allen wants to do something with this incident, then he will owe Governor Raymond a favor, which will be very important to him after he leaves office. , there are benefits.

Third, what will be his position after resigning as governor?

Now he has stated his position through these words. As long as Allen does something, his attitude will be spread. As a governor, it is not easy for him to directly favor the conservative party, but when he leaves office next year, he will no longer be the governor. , then you can lean towards that side.

Taking these points together, this old guy is so damn cunning!

But Allen has now found a way. Since Canada is still nominally British, then...

French people can push people from ethnic minorities, but can’t conservative people push them?

It's more atmospheric. If we all come towards each other, we'll all perish together.

And what's the matter with Allen in this?

The Soul of the Shit Stirr——Start!

He can start selecting people now, the Governor. As a royal minister, Allen, it is reasonable to contact him in advance, right?

As long as the candidate for governor is selected first, then when the future governor takes office, then Allen himself.

Even if you get one, it will be a Canadian Supreme Experience Card for the next five years.

He can get the most preferential treatment for the land and business here!

As long as he doesn't mind the lack of money, this is a benefit!

And Canada, after all, still has more than 30 million people, not to mention too many. As long as it opens its supermarkets, restaurants, and good policies, can the money earned be less? ?

Once you have figured out these ideas, the rest is simple. Just pick a small politician who has a pro-British political career and is easy to control, and spend five years pushing him to the position of governor. That's it!

This is difficult for Allen, but he can overcome it!

Five years of preparation time, if he still can't do it, then all these years will be in vain!

"Hahaha, baby, it has to be you!"

Allen stood up suddenly, picked up Monica and kissed her. Unexpectedly, just after chatting for a few words, his thoughts opened up.

Monica was a little confused and a little shy when Alan kissed her. He thought Alan wanted to do it in public.

"Come on, I'll take you back to the guest room to take a look."

"Then these two roast swans."

"Haha, don't eat anymore. There are a lot of swans here. I'll have them fight again at night!"

Alan hugged Monica across his chest and couldn't wait to go back to the house. As for swans, who has time to eat swans?

Isn't there an Italian swan waiting for him to enjoy?

T\u0026T, the largest Chinese supermarket in Canada.

Monica took Allen's arm, and the two of them, wearing masks, had just walked through the meat area.

Alan was visibly excited last night, and although Monica had no idea why Alan was excited, she felt it!

The two of them slept in late today, and after lunch, they went to the city. She wanted to accompany Allen on the "inspection".

Monica didn't know why she came to this kind of supermarket to inspect, but as long as she could follow Allen, she didn't care where she went.

Although T\u0026T is the largest Chinese supermarket chain in Canada, its positioning is low-end and cheap. Allen looked at the prices of vegetables on the shelves.

Just before coming to T\u0026T, he went to Superstore, another large supermarket in Canada. This supermarket also has low prices.

The positioning of the two supermarkets is similar, but the target customers are very obvious. The T\u0026T store mainly targets Chinese people, while the other one is a normal supermarket.

When it comes to product differences, from Allen's perspective, there is not much difference in the types of products between the two companies, and the quality of the products is basically similar.

The good thing about T\u0026T is that it has a relatively complete range of condiments that Chinese people need. For example, vinegar, soy sauce and other condiments that white people rarely eat are all sold here.

But comparing the prices of the two companies, Allen almost laughed out loud. No wonder Chinese people are always looked down upon outside the country sometimes.

For example, a steak costs 5 Canadian dollars in Superstore, but in T\u0026T, the same steak sells for 5.5 Canadian dollars.

The price increase is not high, but it is expensive!

If you want to say that the quality of the two sides is different, then they are both supplied by the same company and have the same quality!

Don't talk about the different costs of logistics channels. When it comes to shopping malls and supermarkets, it's all about channels!

If the price of the goods is high, there is no advantage in itself. This is not a problem of the customers, but a problem of the merchants.

However, in Allen's view, this may not be due to high channel fees. This thing is clearly an opportunity to kill people.

Since it is labeled as a Chinese supermarket, coupled with the convenience of having a complete range of products, it secretly increases the price of a single item a little bit. In the long run, the profit will be higher than that of other supermarkets.

Obviously in the name of compatriots, he still cheated compatriots out of their money, and finally lost a good reputation.

This routine.

No more evaluation.

Checking the prices in the vegetable section again, Allen compared the prices at the previous supermarket. Sure enough, whether it was meat or vegetables, the prices here were generally slightly more expensive than other supermarkets outside, but not so expensive that people couldn't accept it. , but it’s just a bit expensive, which is disgusting.

This will give customers a feeling that it is convenient but they are being ripped off.

This feeling is like a Coke that costs three yuan a bottle. Some supermarkets have to sell it for three and a half yuan. Spending an extra fifty cents is not a big deal, and few people care about the fifty cents. But it is more than what you spend elsewhere. It’s very annoying, and it’s asking you to spend more money in the name of your compatriots!

Holding Monica's little hand, Allen signaled that he would stop shopping.

While walking, I was thinking about the supermarket. Since he has decided to develop in this direction in the future, Allen is still very active. There is nothing interesting to see in sports competitions and so on. He just wants to see what kind of consumption is like by real Canadians. It's easy to see, and it will be convenient for him to cut their leeks when he brings the supermarket over.

After visiting two supermarkets, Allen's biggest impression from this supermarket was that he didn't care much about food safety, as long as it was cheap, large in quantity, and durable for storage.

Canadians are very strange. Because of their vast land and sparse population, coupled with the climate, many people have developed the habit of hoarding cans.

Except for a small number of Chinese who like to buy fresh vegetables and cook them themselves, most white people do not know how to cook.

For them, canned food and some shelf-stable ready-to-eat foods are the most convenient and best-selling.

In fact, Alan just saw canned pasta on the shelf!

It's not semi-finished pasta, it's canned finished pasta after cooking. It's like the packaging of juice. Twist the cap and you can pour out ready-to-eat pasta!

If this thing were placed in the UK, it would be considered a dark dish, but in Canada, it is actually a very normal food.

With this impression, in Allen's mind, Canadians are now about the same as pigs.

As long as the pigs can eat it, they can eat it.

If the taste is better and the price is more suitable, then you won’t have to worry about selling it!

His previous concept was one-stop shopping, not to mention a complete range of products, including food, drinks, and entertainment, all available for you!

Coupled with the corresponding limited delivery service, after his supermarket arrives in Canada, he will not be allowed to kill indiscriminately?

Thinking of the tens of millions of leeks waiting to be slaughtered, just waiting to be fed, Allen felt that the new governor's support was a blessing for him. As long as he won the new governor, he would be able to capture at least half of these leeks!

"Master?!"

"sit!"

After a whole afternoon of inspection, Allen gained a lot. After dinner in the evening, he was not in a hurry to communicate with Monica and called Xiao Shitou to the temporary study room.

"Remember it, call back, ask Cameron if he is busy recently, and ask him to bring a few assistants to me. I have something to tell him!"

"yes!"

Xiao Shitou took out a small notebook and wrote down what Allen just said.

"In addition, you can ask some people from your family to do a thorough investigation here in Canada to see the distribution of supermarkets, prices, and surrounding population distribution in each city. I need detailed information."

"yes!"

"Besides, well, let me think about it."

Allen tapped his right index finger on the desk. He didn't have to believe whatever Governor Raymond said.

"Write a letter to Hu Te later and ask him to sort out all the information about Governor Raymond, including the situation at his home. I want to see it when I go back."

"yes!"

"Well, do you have anything else going on here?"

After Allen finished explaining, he took note of all the small stones and asked casually.

"Your Excellency, the Governor, specifically called you this morning to ask why you didn't go to the opening ceremony yesterday."

"Haha, just let him go for a few days and just tell me that I'm not feeling well these days. If he calls me again, just reply like this. If he wants to make an appointment with me, just turn it down."

Allen sneered. Now that he knows what this old guy thinks, then...

With Allen's character, he can get benefits, but he doesn't want to owe favors, so when it comes to showing off to this old guy, he has to show off!
