    Qin Shiou sat at the front of the car with Wei Ni and asked, "Are you beautiful?"

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

    The pipe gave the two people a conch boat lantern. Qin Shiou saw the words on it and looked at it with the headlights of his car. There was a line of words written on both sides of the conch that was polished flat and smooth: May the world be gentle to us, may God be with us forever.  coexist.

    This kind of lamp originally has the same meaning as a blessing lamp. People put it out on Christmas Eve, originally for the purpose of praying.

    The crew led by Cameron was filming in another direction. There were multiple scenes by the lake. A temporary small track was laid, and cameras were constantly driving back and forth on it like a train.

    On the pier of Shenbao Lake, Leonardo was chatting with the heroine. Seeing the two of them setting off the boat lanterns together, Qin Shiou scratched his arm and muttered: "Xue Te, this movie will definitely hit the street!  A disaster movie is not a literary film, so why make it so virtuous?"

    Winnie said: "You are so stupid. Do you think everything they film will be released? Of course not! There is editing in the post-production process, and many inappropriate shots will be cut out."

    Qin Shiou recognized this, it was common sense in movies, but he didn¡¯t want to discuss it, it would ruin the scenery.

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

    The next day was Christmas Eve, and the whole town was enveloped in a Christmas atmosphere. The shops on both sides of the street played Christmas carols and other songs day and night.

    Shops in the town held low-price sales and had a month's worth of inventory, which they were selling out in just two days. When Qin Shiou drove to the town to buy bells, he heard loudspeakers in front of several shops shouting in Chinese, "Jump off the building."  Big sale, with invoice' and the like.

    Relying on tourism, the town is booming. Qin Shiou remembers that he read a piece of information from Wei Ni, 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 there are not only Chinese tourists coming to Farewell Town, but also many American tourists and tourists from other parts of Asia.

    The reason for this situation is not only Farewell Island¡¯s reputation as a paradise backyard, but also due to the weak Canadian dollar.

    The weakness of the Canadian dollar means that the external exchange rate of the Canadian dollar has decreased. Last summer, the Canadian dollar exchange rate was still above 90 cents. In January this year, it fell to 85 cents. It then continued to decline. It was around 80 cents in June and has now fallen to 76 cents.  cents.

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

    But some industries are different. They happen to be booming as the Canadian dollar weakens, such as the export industry and tourism.

    This is easy to understand. One U.S. dollar used to be exchanged for about 1.2 Canadian dollars, which could buy two Canadian lollipops. Now it can be exchanged for 1.4 Canadian dollars. In addition to buying two lollipops, you can also add a piece of chewing gum.  So the export industry became booming.

    The tourism industry is the same. In the past, American tourists could exchange 10,000 U.S. dollars for 12,000 Canadian dollars. Now it is 14,000 Canadian dollars. For the same 10,000 U.S. dollars, they can enjoy two thousand Canadian dollars more.

    As for inflation?  They don't consider this because most of them have never been to Canada before and don't know how much prices have changed. They just know that they can get more Canadian dollars.

    The "cheap" Canadian dollar is full of attractions for tourists. Tourists think that it has become cheaper to spend a vacation in Canada, so they will naturally come uninvited.

    Qin Shiou looked at the data released by Statistics Canada. The number of American tourists visiting Canada in October reached 1.9 million, which was the highest "monthly visit volume" in seven years and an increase of 3.3% from September.

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

    For these tourists, Farewell Town¡¯s favorites are Chinese tourists. The advantage of American tourists is that they are generous, and their tips are relatively high, often as high as 20%.

    In contrast, many tourists from China and other parts of Asia do not have this habit. Even if they tip, they only leave a few dollars as a token. However, Chinese tourists are rich and are willing to spend money, buy souvenirs and enjoy the great things after they come.  Meals are unmatched by tourists from the United States and other places.

    Qin Shiou habitually went to Hughes convenience store to drink a cup of coffee, but there was no seat inside. When Hughes saw him, he called him into the cashier and ground him a cup of coffee.

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

      Hughes nodded with satisfaction and said: "This year's tourism market is indeed great. Next year will be even better. It will be better than the year before and last year."

    The tourism industry is one of the most sensitive industries to exchange rates. This year, due to the sluggish exchange rate of the Canadian dollar, it is already felt that it will become a tourist hotspot for tourists from all over the world. Farewell Island is a small place, and the feeling is particularly clear. The sales on the second day were several times higher than on the first day.  You can feel it on every donut.

    "Is the town going to introduce any policies to stimulate tourism?" Qin Shiou chatted casually while drinking coffee.

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

    Qin Shiou shook his head and said: "You have to believe in the mayor's integrity. She never talks to me about official matters after returning home. Of course, if she needs my help, that's another matter. She will definitely be the first to ask."

    Hughes laughed and explained that the town is indeed going to change a bit. First of all, the town will replace the ferry after next spring: "Replace it with a better boat, such as a yacht."

    In addition, the town also wants to develop several whale-watching holy places. ¡°I heard that the town plans to install an underwater whale-watching camera, which is a floating camera with a solar charging panel. When the time comes, a large screen will be installed on the street.  You can see the scene in the sea.¡±

    Qin Shiou said: "That must be extremely beautiful, right?"

    Hughes smiled and said: "Of course, I can't wait to see what it will look like at that time. Oh, I plan to expand the convenience store a little bit. I bought the store next door and plan to open it up. What do you think?"

    Qin Shiou looked at the crowded shelves and said: "It seems like a good idea now, but be careful if you take too big a step and tear your eggs. But having said that, this is an opportunity for development. If you don't seize it, then I bet you,  From now on, my balls will be so sore that I won¡¯t even be in the mood to masturbate.¡±

    After hearing this, Hughes laughed. He winked at Qin Shiou and said, "How about it? Have you ever masturbated after marriage?"

    Qin Shiou quickly drank the last sip of coffee in the cup, threw away the paper cup and said with a smile: "Goodbye, man, I have to go shopping. I still have a lot of work to do when I get back." (Remember this site's website address: www.hlnovel.com
