This was Wang Bo's second visit to Dunedin, and it was Kidd's first time back after working, so he allowed Kidd to go home to visit relatives and gave him a two-day holiday.
Kidd was very happy after hearing this. He said: "Then boss, I have to invite you to be a guest. Come on, come to my house and have a look. You may not know that my mother bakes great venison pies." ,you will like it."
New Zealanders like to visit each other very much. Wang Bo decided to do as the locals do and follow his subordinates to their homes as a guest.
According to Chinese custom, of course you have to bring some gifts when you are a guest. They happened to come across a Chinese store on the way. When he entered, he saw Xinjiang jujubes, Inner Mongolia beef jerky, and various candied dried fruits, so he bought a lot of them. .
Lao Wang still doesn't have a clear understanding of the prices of goods in New Zealand. Some things are very cheap, such as beer and ordinary beef and mutton, while some things are extremely expensive, such as winter vegetables and imported and exported non-staple foods.
Wang Bo spent a total of eight hundred yuan on two large packages of gifts. Kidd stopped him and said there was no need to buy so much. He shrugged: "It feels good to have money, man."
Kidd also shrugged: "It feels good to have a rich friend."
His family lives in Dunedin in a beautiful six-story apartment house with fences, fences and a small garden outside. There is a Wal-Mart shopping mall at the door, making life and transportation very convenient.
Wang Bo looked at the apartment and said, "Boy, your family is still very rich."
Kidd smiled bitterly and said, "Boss, why do you say that?"
Wang Bo tapped the apartment building with his chin and said, "The price of your house is not low, right?"
Kidd shook his head and said: "If you use this to judge the rich people in Dunedin, you are wrong. On the contrary, the rich people live in villas in the suburbs. You don't know that Dunedin has the reputation of New Zealand's villa town." Really? Those who live in apartments in the city are all ordinary families, such as my parents. They are teachers, and their combined income is probably a little more than mine."
He called his family in advance and told his family that he would bring his colleagues as guests. The three of them walked into the apartment lobby and saw a couple in their fifties and a middle-aged man who looked very similar to Kidd waiting.
Kidd introduced them to them. His parents were named Alvin Kidd and Lea Kidd. The middle-aged man was his eldest brother, named Bieber Kidd, who was the administrator of the city library.
Bieber hugged his brother, then shook hands with Wang Bo and said with a smile: "Unbelievable, sir, unbelievable! My naughty brother actually became a civil servant. Thank you for your willingness to tolerate his childish temper. I hope he will give you more at work." Thanks for your help."
Wang Bo said: "Of course, he gave me a lot of help. This is an outstanding child. I believe he will make you proud in the future."
"We are already proud. His salary, his position, and his current changes are really proud of him." Liya looked at her youngest son kindly and smiled.
Ivan also said: "When John, the kid, told us that he found a job worth six thousand yuan or more, we thought he was cheated. We didn't expect you to be willing to pay him such a salary."
Wang Bo patted the passionate young man on the thick shoulder and said: "He is worth the price. He is very serious about his work."
Kidd held his head high, clearly proud of these conversations.
Their house is located on the fourth floor and has an elevator. Wang Bo smiled and said that in China, this is an elevator bungalow, or a two-unit bungalow with one elevator. The price is very expensive.
Ivan and others obviously learned some information about Kidd and said, "The castle you live in is truly enviable. We didn't believe John when he first said it until he made a video with us in the castle. Haha, you know, we were stunned."
Like most homes in New Zealand, Kidd's home is very clean and decorated in a warm style. However, it was probably renovated more than ten years ago and some of the decorations are out of date.
The house was very big, with four bedrooms, two living rooms and two bathrooms. Wang Bo asked how much he bought the house for, and Aiwen smiled and said it was fifty thousand yuan and he had bought it for more than ten years.
Wang Bo shook his head. House prices in New Zealand used to be very low, but now they have risen so much that you can't even buy a house like this at ten times the price.
Lea and Bieber went to the kitchen to work on dinner, while Alvin and Kidd accompanied them in the living room to watch TV and chat.
Wang Bo saw that it was still early and said, "Madam, do you need to prepare meals so far in advance? This will make me hungry earlier."
Liya turned back and smiled: "We respect you very much, Mr. Mayor, so in order to show respect for you and Benjamin, we treat you to a Dunedin-style dinner, and this must be prepared in advance."
Kidd laughed and said: "The boss will definitely like it, he likes novel things."
Hearing what they said, Lao Wang became curious, but no matter how he asked, several people didn't say anything and just said they had a small surprise for him.
At around five o'clock in the afternoon, the warm sunset began to set in the west, and the red clouds fell down like countless large red and yellow umbrellas hanging over the city, which was extremely beautiful.
Liya and Bieber prepared several lunch boxes. They took them out and said, "Let's go, gentlemen, let's start our cradle dinner."
Wang Bo smiled and said: "Cradle dinner, is it eating in the cradle? Reminiscent of the feeling of childhood."
Kidd winked at him and said, "I hope you can adapt to our dinner environment by then."
They drove to the pier, where yachts and fishing boats were docked.
Bieber asked a friend for the key. He led the way to a yacht with the name 'Brilliant Sunset' written on it and said: "This is where our dinner will be, Mr. Wang. It will keep shaking on the sea. Doesn't it look like this?" Eating in the cradle?”
Wang Bo suddenly realized that they wanted to have dinner at sea. To be honest, this is nothing new for him, because he grew up by the sea and often ate on fishing boats.
However, this time it was a yacht, which was a bit novel. His family was an ordinary fisherman, and there was no such luxury yacht in the village, so naturally he had no chance to ride on such a yacht.
Bieber introduced him that this was a business yacht, 40 meters long, equipped with four engines, with a total of three floors above the deck, and the price was more than 2 million New Zealand dollars.
After a brief introduction, he said: "This is the precious toy of my former colleague. He was very lucky. He won the first prize of 10 million New Zealand dollars in Powerball, and then he became a rich man."
There are many types of lottery draws in New Zealand on a regular basis. Powerball is the game with the highest single prize, and its English name is. In this way, the lottery player selects 6 non-repeating numbers from 01 to 40 to generate a lottery ticket, and then selects a "power ball" from 01 to 10 to form a lottery number with the 6 lottery numbers. The official lottery results A number comes out, and if it matches, it’s the jackpot.
