By the lake...in the spacious pavilion, a barbecue grill has been set up.

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

Alan lay on the recliner with his eyes closed.

Monica stood behind Alan and rubbed his temple.

"You don't look very well. What's wrong? Are you worried about something?"

Apart from the initial awkwardness when we first met, that sense of awkwardness had almost dissipated as we sat in the car all the way to the military academy.

If an ordinary person, without any status or position, dared to treat Monica like this, she would have been angry a long time ago.

But...if this person was replaced by Allen, the situation would be different. Although she has earned a lot of money in the past few years, enough for her to buy a house and shop in a big city, Monica has always lived in the house that Allen gave her. She feels that this is her home, her and Allen's home.

But she waited for so long, but Alan never came.

Now that the two of them had just met, she felt aggrieved but also happy. However, she was not the kind of person who would lose her temper. Seeing that Alan was obviously in a bad mood, she did not mention why Alan had not looked for her for so long, but instead asked about Alan's own affairs.

…

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

Alan didn't even open his eyes, enjoying Monica's massage, his nostrils filled with the smell of roasted swan in the distance. This thing is wild and not as fat as domestic geese, so the taste of stewed geese is slightly worse. Even if it is grilled, the heat must be paid attention to.

"I went to the film festival. By the way... do you know Ajani?"

Speaking of this, Monica instantly thought of another person, 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 good.

No matter what Anjani's reputation is, her acting skills are absolutely on point, otherwise she would not have won the César Award. When she met Monica, Anjani mocked her in a meaningful way, which made Monica very confused. Finally, the other party mentioned Allen, and Monica understood what was going on.

Now that Alan asked, new and old grudges came to her mind, and Monica subconsciously increased the strength of the massage.

"Um?"

This sour and aggrieved emotion instantly made Alan alert. He hated this kind of thing the most. Everyone was obviously after the body, so why would they care about the heart?

But the atmosphere has become so tense, and it would be a shame if I didn’t say something. It would be unromantic.

"Me and her? Not too familiar with each other. We've met a few times."

"real?"

"snort!"

Allen pretended to be a little angry at being questioned, and snorted coldly. As expected... Monica's little hands softened again in an instant, and she rubbed gently while saying softly: "She mocked me and said that my acting was not good, but she won the César Award in the end, so I can't say anything about her..."

"They are all French, so they must have the home advantage."

Alan replied subconsciously.

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

Monica retorted.

"When you hold a film festival in France, the French are the landlords, so they should have the final say! Huh?"

Alan paused at this point. When he said this just now, a light bulb suddenly lit up in his mind.

Whoever owns the territory has the final say, then...

Whose territory is Canada now?

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

This is Britain's territory!

How can you be bullied by outsiders on your own territory?

After going over what Governor Raymond said in the afternoon in his mind again, Alan suddenly discovered the connection between the two.

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

Conservative Party!

But the Conservatives will certainly not sit idly by and watch the Liberals suppress them further.

So... they must fight back, but judging from the current results, the Conservative Party is weak and has not been able to defeat the enemy.

But Governor Raymond only stated the situation without taking any clear measures himself. Why?

Because he is not a Conservative!

They are not in the same camp, so why should he help the Conservatives?

The Governor must be neutral!

But now he took the opportunity to chat with Alan and revealed his "guess" to Alan. What does this mean?

First, he wanted to show his loyalty, which everyone understands. His words seemed to be directed to Allen, but when Allen went back to report on his work, who knows if these words would reach the ears of Boss Cha.

Secondly... this is like pointing a way for Allen, and it is like a subtle trick for Allen. If Allen wants to do something with the help of this incident, then he will owe Governor Raymond a favor, which will be beneficial to him after he leaves office.

And thirdly…what is his position after he leaves office as Governor-General?

Now he has made his position clear through these words, and as long as Allen does something, his attitude will be known. As a governor, it is not easy for him to directly lean towards the Conservative Party, but after he steps down next year and is no longer the governor, he can lean towards that side.

Taking all these points into consideration, this old guy is so fucking cunning!

But Allen has found a solution now. Since Canada is still nominally part of Great Britain, then...

The French can push people from ethnic minorities up, so why can't the Conservatives push people from ethnic minorities up?

Let's be more generous... just come at it head-on, the worst that can happen is that we all die together.

What does Alan have to do with this?

…

Soul of the Troublemaker——Activate!

He can start selecting people now, as for the governor... As a royal official, it is reasonable for Alan to contact him in advance, right?

As long as the governor is chosen first, then when the future governor takes office, Alan himself...

It's like getting a Canadian Emperor Experience Card for the next five years.

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

As long as he doesn't think the money is too little, that's the benefit!

As for Canada, there are still more than 30 million people. Not to mention other things, as long as they open supermarkets and restaurants here, and add good policies, then the money...how can the profit be small?

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

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

After five years of preparation, if he still can't do it... then all these years will have been wasted!

…

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

Alan stood up suddenly, hugged Monica and kissed her. He didn't expect that just a few words would open up his mind.

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

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

"Then...then these two roasted swans."

"Haha, let's not eat anymore. There are plenty of swans here. I'll have someone hunt them again tonight!"

Alan held Monica horizontally against his chest, and couldn't wait to go back to the house. As for the swan... who has time to eat swan?

Isn’t there an Italian swan right in front of him waiting for him to enjoy it?

…

T&T is the largest Chinese supermarket in Canada.

Monica was holding Alan's arm, and the two of them were wearing masks as they walked past the meat section.

Alan was obviously very excited last night. Although Monica had no idea why Alan was excited, she... could relate to him!

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

Monica had no idea why she came to this supermarket for inspection, but as long as she could follow Alan, she didn't care where she went.

…

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

Just before coming to T&T, he went to another large supermarket in Canada, Superstore, which also focuses on low prices.

The positioning of the two supermarkets is similar, but their main customer targeting is very obvious. T&T mainly targets Chinese people, while the other one is a normal supermarket.

As for the difference in products, in Allen's opinion, there is not much difference in the types of products between the two companies, and the quality of the products is basically similar.

The advantage of T&T is that they have a relatively complete range of condiments that Chinese people need, such as vinegar, soy sauce and other condiments that white people rarely eat, all of which are sold here.

But when comparing the prices of the two stores, Alan almost laughed out loud. No wonder Chinese people are sometimes looked down upon abroad.

For example, a piece of steak costs 5 Canadian dollars in Superstore, but at T&T, the same piece of steak costs 5.5 Canadian dollars.

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

If you say 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 logistics channel costs. As for those who work in supermarkets, what they deal in is channels!

If you buy goods at a high price, you have no advantage. This is not the customer's problem, but the merchant's problem.

However...from Allen's perspective, this may not be about the high channel fees, but it is clearly an opportunity to take advantage of the old customers.

Since it is labeled as a Chinese supermarket, and with the convenience of a complete range of goods, if the price of individual items is secretly raised a little bit, in the long run... the profit will be higher than that of other supermarkets.

They are clearly using the name of compatriots, but they are also cheating their compatriots out of their money, and in the end they still want to have a good reputation.

This routine...

No comment.

After looking at the prices in the vegetable section again, Alan compared them with the prices in the previous supermarket. As expected... Whether it is meat or vegetables, the prices here are generally a little bit more expensive than other supermarkets outside. It's not so expensive that people can't accept it, but it's just a little 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 bottle of Coke that costs three yuan, but some supermarkets insist on selling it for three yuan and fifty cents. Spending fifty cents more is not a big deal, and few people will care about it. But if you spend more than in other places, it will make people feel unhappy, and they are asking you to spend more in the name of your compatriots!

…

Holding Monica's little hand, Alan signaled that they should stop shopping.

While walking, Alan was thinking about the supermarket. Since he had decided to develop in this direction in the future, he was very proactive. There was nothing interesting to see in sports games or competitions, so he wanted to see the real Canadians and their consumption concepts. It would also be convenient for him to know how to reap the profits from them after he opened the supermarket.

After visiting two supermarkets, Alan's biggest impression of the supermarkets here is that they don't care much about food safety, as long as the food is cheap, in large quantities and can be stored for a long time.

Canadians are strange. Because of their vast land and sparse population, as well as the climate, many people have developed the habit of hoarding canned food.

Except for a small number of Chinese who like to buy fresh vegetables and cook their own meals, most white people do not have skills like cooking.

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

Alan even saw canned pasta on the shelf just now!

It’s not semi-finished pasta, but finished canned pasta after it’s been cooked. It’s packaged like juice. You twist off the bottle cap and pour out the ready-to-eat pasta!

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

With this impression, Canadians are now equivalent to pigs in Allen's mind.

They can eat anything that pigs can eat.

If the taste is better and the price is more suitable, there will be no problem selling it!

His previous concept was one-stop shopping. Not only was the merchandise complete, but also food, drinks, daily necessities and entertainment were all available for you!

Coupled with the corresponding limited delivery service, won’t his supermarkets be able to sell indiscriminately when they come to Canada?

When Alan thought of the tens of millions of leeks waiting to be slaughtered and crying for food, he felt that he had to put more effort into supporting the new governor. As long as he could take down the new governor, he could get at least half of these leeks!

…

"Master?!"

"sit!"

After a whole afternoon of investigation, Alan gained a lot. After dinner in the evening, he did not rush to communicate with Monica, but called Xiao Shitou to the temporary study first.

"Please remember to call back and ask Cameron if he is busy recently. Ask him to bring a few assistants to see me. I have something to tell him!"

"yes!"

Xiao Shitou took out a small notebook and wrote down everything Alan had just said.

"Also, have some more people come over to do a survey in Canada to see the distribution of supermarkets in each city, the price situation, and the population distribution around them. I need detailed intelligence."

"yes!"

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

Alan tapped the desk with his right index finger, not that he would believe everything Governor Raymond said.

"Write a letter to Hu 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 return."

"yes!"

"Um...is there anything else you need?"

After Alan finished explaining, he saw that Xiao Shitou had written it down, so he asked a question casually.

"The Governor called me this morning to ask why you didn't go to the opening ceremony yesterday..."

"Haha, leave him alone for a few days and tell him I'm not feeling well. If he calls again, reply like this. If he wants to meet me, turn it down."

Allen sneered. Now that he knew what the old man was thinking, then...

With Alan's personality, he can take benefits, but he doesn't want to owe favors, so... he has to show his displeasure to this old guy!
