Chapter 1712 Depressed

Author: Shihanjie

“What does Canada look like?”

On the flight to Canada, Zhou Boqiang couldn't help asking Wang Lin.

Wang Lin couldn't help laughing, because like Zhou Boqiang, this trip was the first time he went to Canada.

In fact, he also understood that Zhou Boqiang just wanted to hear Wang Lin’s opinion on Canada and to understand in advance what his children were doing in Canada.

Wang Lin pondered slightly and said, "President Zhou, Canada is already a developed region and one of the places with the highest human development index in the world."

Zhou Boqiang asked: "What is the Human Development Index?"

Wang Lin said: "The human development index is a data that evaluates the comprehensive development of human income, education, arts and humanities in each region, and is also a standard for identification of developed countries."

Zhou Boqiang said: "Oh? Who sets these standards?"

Wang Lin said: "Of course it was formulated by the United Nations."

Zhou Boqiang said: "Canada is so developed? No wonder so many people want to immigrate!"

Wang Lin said: "In fact, since the 1990s, Canada's economic growth rate has slowed down. The appearance of this place will not change much. The urban area here is equivalent to the city of our country in twenty years!"

Zhou Boqiang said: "That's amazing too! It's twenty years ahead of us! Is the population of this place very small?"

Wang Lin smiled and said, "Yes, there are only tens of millions of people."

Zhou Boqiang said: "Tsk tsk, there are fewer people than Dongyang?"

Wang Lin said: "Yes. So their per capita GDP is very high, and they also welcome immigrants. In fact, it is very easy to immigrate to Canada. As long as you have money, it is easy to do it."

Zhou Boqiang said: "What do you think about people in these developed areas? They live so well, but their fertility rate is so low?"

Wang Lin said: "The more developed people in the region, the higher the comprehensive education, they get married and have children very late. In some areas, twenty years are a generation, and in places like them, they get married and have children at the age of thirty or forty, which means that the speed of generations will be slower than 20 years! The population itself is small, and the renewal is slow, so the total population cannot be increased."

Zhou Boqiang said: "Look at my Xiaoxia. She went to college and got married much later!"

Wang Lin smiled and said, "Yes."

Zhou Boqiang said: "Then why are the fertility rates in developed areas also low?"

Wang Lin said: "When people get older, raising children will be particularly tiring. If you give birth to one, you will be half dead. Who wants to have more children? Moreover, people in developed areas are under a lot of pressure in their lives. Although their salary is a little higher, the prices are not cheap, the housing prices are high, and the investment in education is also great. If you want to maintain the standard of living when you are single, they can only have fewer children."

Zhou Boqiang said: "It makes sense!"

Wang Lin said: "There is a saying that the best family planning measure is high consumption level."

Zhou Boqiang said: "So, everything can be linked to the economy!"

Wang Lin said: "Of course. Look at the economic situation in Dongyang now, but the women on the street are all dressed up brightly and beautifully. This is the lipstick effect."

Zhou Boqiang said: "What is the lipstick effect? ​​What is the new term?"

Wang Lin said: "The lipstick effect refers to an interesting economic phenomenon that causes lipstick hot sales due to the economic depression, also known as the trend of favoring low-priced products. In the United States, whenever the economy is in a downturn, the sales of lipstick will rise sharply. This is because in the United States, people believe that lipstick is a relatively cheap luxury product. In the face of economic downturn, people still have a strong desire to consume, so they will turn to buying cheap luxury products. As a cheap non-essential thing, lipstick can play a comforting role for consumers, especially when the soft and moist lipstick touches the lips. In addition, the economic recession will reduce the consumption capacity of some people, so that some spare money will appear in their hands, just to buy some cheap non-essential things."

Zhou Boqiang said, "So that's it!"

Zhou Zhou smiled and said, "Wang Lin knows all kinds of theories! So he can always make a fortune."

Zhou Boqiang said: "This shows that Wang Lincoln is studying! You are still a college student! Do you know more about him?"

Zhou Zhou curled his lips and said, "How could I be as good as him? Otherwise, why is he the boss and I work?"

Shen Xue asked: "Wang Lin, what are the conditions for immigration to Canada? Is it really easy?"

Zhou Zhu said: "Shen Xue, do you want to immigrate?"

Shen Xue said: "It's not me, I don't want to immigrate! I'll help others ask."

Wang Lin said: "It's easy. In Xiangjiang, my country, more than 30,000 people immigrate to Canada every year, accounting for 20% of the total number of immigrants in Canada. There are many types of immigrants here, including investment immigration, and the total cost is about 2 million Canadian dollars. Talent immigration and study abroad immigrants, but they all cost money, and at least about 300,000 Canadian dollars to succeed."

Shen Xue said: "Just have money?"

Wang Lin said: "It's almost like this. Who wants to immigrate?"

Shen Xue said: "Baoling! She always yells to go abroad!"

Wang Lin said: "Oh? She wants to go abroad?"

Shen Xue said: "But the cost of immigration is so high, I don't think she will be willing to do so."

Zhou Zhu said: "It's hundreds of thousands! It's enough to buy a house and a car in China, and live a middle-class life, but it's a big deal to go abroad."

The group talked and passed the travel time.

Flight arrives at Toronto Airport.

Wang Lin and others walked out of the airport and took a bus to the hotel in the city center and settled.

After settling down, Wang Lin came to Zhou Boqiang's room.

"President Zhou, during this time in Canada, you should not act with us. You should accompany your children!"

Zhou Boqiang sat on the chair and shook his head with annoyance: "Forget it! It's better not to see them!"

Wang Lin said: "What's going on?"

When he came, Zhou Boqiang looked happy and looked forward to reunion with the children.

Why did he do this as soon as he landed?

Zhou Boqiang sighed: "I'm also blamed on this. I thought about contacting them again when I got here so that I could give them a surprise! How could I know this?"

Wang Lin said: "They are not available?"

Zhou Boqiang said: "They are in Vancouver! They are thousands of kilometers away from Toronto! They are thousands of miles apart! It takes two days and two nights to drive here!"

Wang Lin was stunned: "Yes! Vancouver is indeed very far from Toronto, just as far as our country's northern border to western border! I blame you for not reminding you that Canada is very big!"

Zhou Boqiang said: "How can you blame you for this?"

Wang Lin said: "You can take a plane! The flight will arrive in a few hours at most."

Zhou Boqiang said: "Forget it! They all have to go to work and say that they will be fired by the company if they ask for leave temporarily."

Looking at Zhou Boqiang with a lonely face, Wang Lin didn't know what to say.

The greater the hope when you come, the greater the disappointment at this moment!

Zhou Boqiang is a person who can't hide his emotions. Besides, Wang Lin is not an outsider. As he chatted, he finally couldn't help but burst into tears and said, "This child just can't go abroad. As soon as he goes abroad, he changes! Alas!"

Wang Lin said: "Young people are busy with work and live abroad, so the pressure is actually very high."

Zhou Boqiang nodded, wiped his eyes and said, "Wang Lin, you are right, I shouldn't blame them."

Wang Lin said: "President Zhou, this is better. After our trip to Toronto, we will fly to Vancouver, stay there for a few days, and then go to the United States from Vancouver."

Zhou Boqiang said: "Dr. Wang, there is no need to do this. How can I delay everyone's itinerary because of my family affairs alone?"

Wang Lin said: "We just came out to inspect! Vancouver is also one of the largest cities in Canada. We should go and have a look."

Zhou Boqiang said: "Thank you, Mr. Wang."

Wang Lin said: "Thank you all the hard way. You have a good rest and we will conduct an inspection tomorrow."

Zhou Boqiang responded.

Wang Lin said goodbye and returned to the room.

In the evening, Wang Lin and others went to the hotel restaurant to have dinner.

After ordering the meal, Wang Lin looked around and asked, "Where is Mr. Zhou?"

Zhou Zhu said, "I didn't see him!"

Wang Lin said: "He won't be still sleeping? It must be hard to fly all the way."

Zhou Zhu said: "Maybe! Why don't you call him? Let him have some rest."

Wang Lin said: "He has slept for a long time. I will ask Uncle Zhong to come and call him down to have dinner together! Otherwise, he will have insomnia again at night."

Zhou Zhu said: "I'll go and shout!"

Wang Lin said: "Okay, let's wait for you."

Not long after Zhou Zhou left, she hurriedly ran down and shouted: "Wang Lin! It's not good!"

Wang Lin asked, "What's wrong?"

Zhou Zhou said in panic: "My uncle is—"

Wang Lin's heart instantly raised to his throat: "What's wrong with Mr. Zhou?"

Zhou Cao was so anxious that he couldn't even speak: "He seemed to be unable to do it anymore, he lay on the bed, motionless! It was like--"

She couldn't continue to say anything.

But Wang Lin and the others understood it.

Everyone looked at each other and found it incredible.

When Zhou Boqiang checked into the hotel, he was still very good!
