    Because of the double praise from the Strauss family and Walton, Qin Shiou made a small splash at the reception.

    The group of celebrities did not understand his origins, but judging from his and Wei Ni's temperament, they were still happy to make friends, so Qin Shiou kept having people come to him to communicate at the cocktail party.

    In order to prevent Qin Shiou from finding anyone with whom he could talk in common at the reception, Cole also invited Lang Lang to the dinner. Qin Shiou wanted to chat with the famous piano master, but unfortunately he didn't have the time.

    After chatting until the end of the reception, Qin Shiou took the Strauss family's extended Lincoln to a hotel called aka.

    From this we can see how particular the Strauss family is. In fact, the Hilton Hotel where the dinner was held could be used for accommodation, but they still gave Qin Shiou another hotel.

    The reason for this, Cole explained: "I think, for you who like nature, aka is more suitable."

    When they arrived at the hotel room, Qin Shiou understood why Cole said this.

    The suite is located on the top floor of the 17th floor of the hotel and is divided into indoor and outdoor parts. What is surprising is that except for the bathroom and living room indoors, the bedrooms and dining room are all on the outdoor terrace.

    The terrace covers an area of ??100 square meters, with a 2-meter-wide bed in the middle. There is a lounge bar and dining table outside near the street, and there is a fireplace inside. In addition, there is a  Precision telescope.

    No wonder Cole said that living in a place like this can make you feel closer to nature. Manhattan is a complete steel and concrete forest, but when you sleep here, you can see the boundless starry sky when you look up. If you want to see clearly, you need a telescope.

    Qin Shiou lay on the edge of the terrace and looked out. He had a panoramic view of the night view of New York. He and Wei Ni sat at the dining table, enjoying the night view of the Big Apple City while drinking. It was very comfortable.

    Feeling a little tired after chatting for a while, Qin Shiou went to bed. The sky was full of stars shining in the night sky. These were the real stars to accompany you to sleep.

    The next day when he went downstairs for dinner, Qin Shiou looked at it and found that the price of this suite was US$1,999 per night, which was a bit expensive, but Qin Shiou felt that it was really worth the money.

    ¡°Let¡¯s build a room like this in the villa when we go home.¡± Qin Shiou said to Wei Ni.

    Wei Ni rolled her eyes and said, "The villa can't be moved. Let's build a new one."

    "Baby room?" Qin Shiou teased.

    Wei Ni looked at him with bright eyes and said, "If you want a child, I won't refuse."

    Qin Shiou quickly changed the subject. He was not ready to be a father yet.

    Coincidentally, James Cameron also stayed in this hotel. The two met in the restaurant. Cameron called his assistant, who brought a book. He handed it to Qin Shiou and said with a smile: "This is what I was shooting."  Someone gave it to me during "Titanic", and now it's given to you."

    Qin Shiou thanked Cameron and left him his address, saying that if he wanted to go on vacation, he must come to Farewell Island and he would not be disappointed.

    With nothing to do on the plane, Qin Shiou started reading a book called "Unsinkable", written by Danny Alan Butler, and it was all about the events on the Titanic.

    Looking through the true deeds records inside, Qin Shiou was deeply moved.

    ¡° Few people know that among the more than fifty senior staff of the Titanic, except for the young second officer Lightoller who commanded the rescue, all the others died at their posts in order to save the weak.

    After reading this book, Qin Shiou felt a little depressed, but after arriving at Farewell Island and seeing the prosperous fishery, his mind suddenly became bright again.

    The Vail Construction Group entered the former Mr. Ross fishing ground and began planning to build an airport. Two huge rollers were at work, rumbling to level the ground.

    Weir found Qin Shiou and showed the planning map to Qin Shiou. The construction period of the airport is three months, which happens to be ready for use in the spring of next year.

    Qin Shiou said no problem, just start work.

    Weir said that after the road is flattened, asphalt will be laid, and then it will be enough to go to the asphalt lake to transport a batch of asphalt.

    Qin Shiou asked curiously: "Isn't asphalt a chemical product? Why is there an asphalt lake?"

    Weir smiled and said: "Nature is very wonderful. The asphalt lake is full of natural asphalt. It can be used as long as it is dug out and simply processed. Haven't you seen it? It's near the Hudson Bay. It's a very strange place.  .¡±

    Qin Shiou has never seen a natural asphalt lake. He always thought that asphalt was the product of coking or petroleum distillation. Weir invited him and he agreed.

    Two days later, WeiAfter renting a thousand-ton cargo ship to go to the Hudson Bay, Qin Shiou followed.

    He learned about it beforehand and found out that there are indeed many natural asphalt lakes around the world, with the largest number on the Caribbean coast and in Indonesia, especially Lake Peach on the southern coast of the Caribbean, which has the largest area.

    The asphalt lake they are going to this time is called "Cuchdada Clay Lake". Guchidada is an Indian word, which means the door to hell.  The meaning of Clay Lake is very simple. The Indians did not know what asphalt was before. They thought it was a kind of clay, hence the name.

    This lake covers an area of ??more than 20 hectares. Because it is located to the north, snow in winter will hide its true appearance, so occasionally some wild animals will enter and be swallowed by the asphalt.

    The Indians in the past didn¡¯t know what was going on and thought they had gone to hell when they disappeared, so they named it the ¡®Gateway to Hell¡¯.

    Now, this Gate of Hell has been used by humans and has become a good place to produce asphalt.

    Arriving at the location of Guqi Dada, Qin Shiou felt that this place was really spectacular at first glance. The lake was dark and shiny, like a huge and exquisite black lacquer basin inlaid on the ground.

    Close to the North Pole and with cold winters, the lake surface in most parts of the Asphalt Lake is flat and dry. Not only pedestrians can also drive on it, and many forklifts and dump trucks are working continuously on it.

    However, the center of the lake is a very soft place, and it is very dangerous there, because asphalt is constantly pouring out, and if you accidentally fall in, you will be in trouble.

    Canada has a vast territory and requires a large number of roads. This asphalt lake has played a major role in road construction. Weir introduced to Qin Shiou that under normal circumstances, this lake can produce 150 tons of asphalt a day.

    There is a small town four or five kilometers away from the Asphalt Lake. The surrounding area is deserted. The town relies on this Asphalt Lake for food. The residents of the town are mainly workers in the Asphalt Lake factory, and it also provides tourism services.

    Qin Shiou and Weir booked a hotel. After they arrived, the boss looked at him with a mean smile and asked, "Sir, are you here for tourism? Do you need any special services?"

    When he heard this, Qin Shiou laughed, shook his head and said, "No, no, I don't need it. I'm here to buy asphalt, not for fun."

    Weir explained to him: "The special service the boss mentioned is an asphalt bath. Qin, you must be overthinking it."

    Qin Shiou then realized that he had made an own mistake, and quickly made up for it, saying: "ok, ok, I need special services." (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
