Chapter 638: Michigan's First Meeting


The little girl's careless behavior made Brown, who looked back, smile bitterly and shake his head, but made Qin Yi and others chuckle.

But Betsy is only five years old, a little girl, what else can you expect from her?

With her mother by her side, she can also hang out with her favorite sister An Qier and Uncle Yi.

This situation is wonderful enough for her.

Even if her father has to work and can't go with her, it's not a big deal.

The logic of children is simple and interesting, but no matter what, Angel is even more excited to have Betsy as a good little playmate along the way.

But while having fun, Angel also did not forget to take care of her mother.

She invited her to drink water, told her stories to coax her to sleep, and helped her mother carry her handbag.

She looked like a well-behaved and competent nanny, making the nearby tourists smile.

Qin Yi and others took a flight to Helena, transferred from Helena, and arrived in Chicago at the southern end of Lake Michigan at three o'clock in the afternoon.

The whole journey lasted six hours, mainly because of the delay during the transfer.

Throughout the journey, John was accompanied by several team members.

Because they were dressed as ordinary tourists, they did not attract much attention.

After arriving in Chicago, the captain and first mate of the Venus Bear guard had already sent someone to wait at the airport.

This saved a lot of trouble.

I got in the car directly and rushed to the city.

I found a hotel and had a big meal, which was enough to compensate for the flight.

A bad lunch.

After wandering around Chicago for a while, I found that the big cities were basically the same, so Qin Yi quickly lost interest and took everyone to the dock.

Speaking of the Venus, an 88-meter-long yacht, it really took a bumpy journey from Los Angeles to Lake Michigan.

The sea journey on the road was not bad, and it even entered from the Canadian side of the Atlantic Ocean along the St.

Lawrence River.

There was no problem with Lake Ontario, but when driving into Lake Erie via Lake Ontario, it was different from what Qin Yi expected.

Because together with the Niagara River, the main river of the two great lakes, in the middle is the world-famous Niagara Falls.

The drop of tens of meters makes it impossible to navigate this wide river, let alone a superyacht like the Venus.

So far, except for the extreme sport of barrel rafting.

No other ship can sail directly down the river, if barrels can be considered ships.

Fortunately, there is a slightly narrower river in Canada not far to the west of the Great Falls that is navigable, allowing the Venus to successfully enter Lake Erie and then reach Lake Michigan.

But luckily it's now.

If we arrive another month later, Lake Erie will be closed due to freezing, and the Venus will not be able to be used no matter how powerful it is.

Keluo teased Qin Yi that if he had to take a boat to play during the lake closure season, it would be best to buy a new icebreaker.

Susa, Rachel and others also answered the question.

After a while, it was like a competition for equipment.

Brought an aircraft carrier fleet to Qin Yi How big is Lake Michigan?

Qin Yi also wanted to know, so he had checked the information before.

Good guy, it’s actually 176 times larger than Poyang Lake, the largest freshwater lake in China.

He had never seen Poyang Lake, but he was lucky enough to see Taihu Lake once.

Standing on the shore of the lake and looking at it, it was like looking at the sea.

At this time, at the Chicago Lakeside Pier, it was exactly the same feeling: vast mist, water and sky the same color, north, south, south In the Lake District on three sides, you really can’t see the edge at a glance However, compared to the sea, the color of the lake water is much whiter.

There is no salty smell at all, and it is impossible to see it crystal clear, but it is really clean, just judging from the color.

The water quality is similar to that of drinking water reservoirs.

Because it was a lakefront dock in a metropolitan city, the atmosphere of the city and humanity was too strong, and there were no natural landscapes, which made Qin Yi and others no longer in the mood to appreciate it.

Of course, the main reason is that the weather today is not very good, although it is sunny.

However, the severe cold wind was strong enough to reach Level 3 or 4, making everyone's clothes whistle.

Coupled with the already low temperature of several degrees, they felt a little cold.

Qin Yi believes that in such outdoor conditions, if you rashly come out of a warm car or indoors, the cold wind will definitely make your head hurt.

When he went to hang out at the bottom of the Yellow River a few years ago, the weather was similar, and he couldn't help but cover the back of his head.

But even so, there are still many small yachts docked at the pier.

I don’t know whether they are tourists or locals.

They are wearing short sleeves, shorts and slippers, holding their arms and chatting happily, as if they are on vacation in Miami Beach.

Seeing this situation, Qin Yi and the others were very surprised.

There are really people in the world who are not afraid of the cold.

Perhaps it is also because of the metropolitan area.

Although the number of tourists and citizens coming and going is not large, it is definitely not rare.

Many of them are anglers with fishing gear.

It seems that even though the temperature is not suitable, there are still many people.

The Thanksgiving holiday was scheduled in the Lake District.

The pier is very busy.

Numerous speedboats and small yachts are chopping the waves on the lake, rowing quickly, stirring up white tail waves as high as a person at the stern of the boat, like a squirrel running fast on the lake with its tail raised, which looks quite interesting.

Although today's whooshing cold wind is annoying, it is good news for sailing enthusiasts.

On the lake in the distance, a sailboat with a long white triangular sail was raised.

It was floating along the undulating waves on the slightly blue lake, just like a white cloud swaying with the wind in the same blue sky.

If these can be regarded as scenery, the first sight of Lake Michigan by Qin Yi and others was quite rewarding.

Blowing in the cold wind is not a pleasant thing, and Susa is still pregnant with the baby, so she can't stay in the cold wind for too long, so Qin Yi took a quick look at the pier and led everyone to stand like a group of people.

Venus goes.

Most of the yachts at the pier are middle-class family yachts of a few meters, and there are even many speedboats.

There are very few yachts over ten meters long.

Except for the Venus, there is not one over twenty meters.

The elegant white swan-like Venus is simply bigger than those passenger ships.

Such a luxurious yacht naturally attracted many tourists and citizens to stop and watch.

Some small yachts were also wandering in the nearby waters.

Qin Yi could even see many men and women of different ages on the small yachts, holding up cameras to take pictures.

There are very few people like Qin Yi who, just to have fun, let a super yacht enter and exit Canada several times, and even sail into rivers with not good channel conditions, so it is rare to see a super yacht in an inland lake.

In fact, Qin Yi and others had a yacht to enjoy this time.

Although they could have a good time, they would inevitably have to spend a large amount of repair costs afterwards, all the way across the ocean and across the sea, and they had to drive for so long on an inland river that was not in good condition. , to say the least, hundreds of thousands of dollars have been poured into it.

But this little money is really a drop in the bucket for Qin Yi.

Not to mention the profit of more than 100 million US dollars brought by beef cattle this year, and the more than 300 million US dollars defrauded from cattle auctions, the global sales of wine can bring in 70 to 80 million US dollars every month.

The profits from other fishing grounds and security companies are much lower, but they are enough to support him driving around on his yacht all day long.

There is not much growth potential in the demand for wine, but bullocks are still strong.

I believe that next year, when the calves at Wobe Lake Ranch and Teddy Ranch grow up, Qin Yi's income from bullocks will quadruple.

The money is still depreciating in value.

It seems that the new round of land enclosure plan must be implemented as soon as possible.

There is also a mountainous area with tens of thousands of acres in the Rocky Mountains.

The old guy Scott said he would help him get it, why don't you give it to him now?

a letter This vacation is over, so I have to urge him.

On the way to the Venus, Qin Yi had these thoughts in his mind, feeling that there were more and more dollars and he couldn't spend them all.

He touched the belly of Susa who was walking beside him, and thought that this little guy was lucky.

His father had worked so hard to earn money, so this little guy was better off.

After Qin Yi and others boarded the boat, the yacht slowly set sail towards the first stop of the trip: Huo Lan:
