Golden Fishery

16. The President's Mount

When he said it was done, when he got up the next day, Qin Shiou planned to buy a car.

Auerbach learned of his plan and smiled: "Just right, your ID documents have been processed, and we will go to St. John's to get them out for you."

Originally, Qin Shiou didn't plan to change his car so quickly. It's a sure thing to buy a car. He is a fish farmer worth hundreds of millions. Is it a good thing to not have a car?

Before, he planned to mention a car when Ricci auctions were held in Ottawa in a few days. Now that Auerbach's old car is on strike, the plan must be put on the agenda.

St. John's is located in the southeastern part of Newfoundland. It is the capital and largest city and an important port of Newfoundland. Facing the Atlantic Ocean, the city is at the heart of the North Atlantic shipping route and the center of the world-famous cod fisheries.

Qin Shiou and Auerbach went on a passenger ship. Farewell Island was not far from St. John's, and the straight-line distance was less than 500 kilometers.

Standing on the deck, feeling the coolness of the cool sea breeze blowing on your face, and smelling the light fishy smell of sea water, Qin Shiou enjoyed it very much.

There are endless seas everywhere, the sea breeze blows, the blue sea is ups and downs, the snow-white waves are struggling to surf, seagulls sing and fly from time to time, and the clear blue sky makes everything clean.

"Do you like the ocean?" a middle-aged man wearing a nineteenth-century British gentleman's vest jacket and suit asked, standing beside Qin Shiou.

Qin Shiou smiled and said, "Yes, why don't you like it? It is the cradle of life and the home of most life on earth now."

Auerbach interjected: "Qin, I'm very glad to bring you to Newfoundland. I feel more and more that you are born here. I bet that the Daqin fishery will be restored to glory in your hands."

"Ocean will not disappoint the descendants who love her, she will pay you enough." The man in the vest smiled and nodded.

The man in the vest is about forty years old, dressed like a gentleman, and has a noble style in his speech and manners. He seems to be very interested in Qin Shiou and has been chatting with him. When the passenger ship finally pulled into the St. Louis Pier, he stretched out his hand. Said: "It's a pleasure to communicate with you, Qin, I'm William Hamley."

Qin Shiou smiled and shook hands.

"It's also the mayor of Farewell Town," Auerbach added.

Qin Shiou's smile suddenly brightened three points, and the handshake strength added three points.

The encounter with Mr. Mayor was just a small episode on the road. After that, Auerbach led Qin Shiou to the immigration office to check his identity, and then he got his new ID card, which is the Maple Leaf Card.

The maple leaf card is the same size as the credit card. The background is a beautiful orange maple leaf. On the left side of the card is Qin Shiou's head. Qin Daguan's smile is heartless and silly.

After lunch, the two went to the largest car shopping center in St. Louis, the "Polar Auto City", which is full of 4S stores and full of cars.

Interestingly, Canada, a nominally developed capitalist country, does not have its own car brand.

Because the country is vast but the population is not large, and the winter in Canada is very cold, the car has become an extremely important means of travel. It stands to reason that such a country should be a big country in the automobile industry.

But unfortunately, Canada's neighbor and eldest brother is the United States, which is the largest car dumping country in the world. Canada cannot develop the auto industry at all. American and European cars have long regarded it as a colony.

Allocate the car market cleanly.

Qin Shiou and Auerbach walked into the Auto City, and a young man who was full of energy greeted him and asked, "I'm Tiger, the service engineer of Baoli Auto City, may I help you?"

Auerbach said: "My little friend wants to buy a car, so please show us."

Tiger introduced: "Then what type of car do you need? Jeep? MPV? SUV? Sedan? Van? Or truck?"

It is said to be a car city, but it is actually a bit like a car exhibition hall. There are bright and bright cars everywhere. There is a light rubber smell in the air, and people are looking at the cars.

Qin Shiou recalled his dream of a sports car and asked, "What brand do you have for the better sports cars here? How much is an Audi R8?"

When Tiger heard this, he knew that the young man in front of him was very rich.

You should know that although there are many cars in Canada, people do not pay attention to the luxury and brand of the car, and generally pay attention to practicality. German cars that were safe in the past are popular, but now with the rise of international oil prices, fuel-efficient Japanese cars sell well.

In addition, Canada may be the country with the lowest proportion of sports cars among the developed countries, because most areas here are heavily snowed in winter, and the roads are very slippery in spring and autumn. In this environment, sports cars are simply urging hell, who dares to drive?

Auerbach knew the reason, so he persuaded: "No, Qin, you can either buy an SUV or a jeep. The worst thing is a sedan. Don't buy a sports car."

Qin Shiou thought about it and said, "That's an SUV."

Cars are boring, Jeeps are too ugly to buy a sports car, and the compromise is an SUV.

Tiger immediately said: "If you want to buy an SUV, then I recommend you to choose the Honda XR-V, Land Cruiser or Pajero, in addition, Lexus RX and Infiniti QX80 are also good choices, these cars are the best-selling cars at their price points. Yes, safe, fuel efficient, comfortable..."

These five cars range from 20,000 Canadian dollars to 400,000 Canadian dollars, ranging from economical to luxurious and comfortable. No matter what grade Qin Shiou chooses, he has a choice, which shows how skilled Tiger is in business.

However, the more Qin Shiou listened, the more uncomfortable it became. He said, "Wait, these cars are all Japanese cars, right?"

Tiger smiled and said, "Yes, sir, Japanese cars are the most popular right now, because they are the most fuel-efficient, affordable enough, and look beautiful."

Qin Shiou shook his head and said, "No, I don't buy Japanese or Korean cars. Take me to see American or European cars."

After all, he was a former angry youth. Qin Shiou didn't buy Japanese cars. He would boycott Japanese products within his ability. Anyway, he wasn't bad for money.

Tiger immediately changed his tone and said, "If you want to buy an American car, then I'll recommend it to you..."

"High-end." Qin Shiou added coaxingly.

"A high-end American car must be a Cadillac. If anyone can represent the American car craftsmanship, it must be the pride of Detroit and the pride of the Americans, Cadillac!" Tiger said, "I recommend you to take a look. President One!"

Under the leadership of Tiger, Qin Shiou went directly to the Cadillac store, and a car with a colorful shield inlaid on the front suddenly appeared in his field of vision.

Cadillac's store was relatively deserted. Seeing that Qin Shiou went straight to President No. 1, the waiter rushed up enthusiastically, and brought hot coffee and fragrant cookies one after another.

"The length of the car is nearly six meters, the width and height of the car are more than two meters, does this guy look like a monster? But look at the delicate paint and workmanship, and then look at the luxurious interior, you You'll understand, sir, this car is designed for a successful person like you. I bet if you sit in it, you're the president!" Tiger said in a **.

Qin Shiou doesn't know much about cars. After all, he was born in a slaughterhouse. He has never even played a Chery QQ before, let alone a super SUV with a domestic price of nearly 3 million.

The manager of the Cadillac 4S shop came up to explain: "The President One uses a 6L V8 engine, which has extraordinary power, and the power reaches 248KW, which can make you feel like you are flying. I think this is enough for a car. After all, not every man likes beasts like the fifteenth generation of knights."

Qin Shiou sat in the car and looked at the interior. It was indeed luxurious. The beige leather and brown peach wood matched well, forming the main color of the interior. The two main seats in the rear cabin are electric massage seats with leg support and heating, and there is even a luxury bar and an advanced digital home theater entertainment system. It is simply a mobile presidential suite.

The characteristics of American cars are luxury and pretentiousness. This President 1 has brought these characteristics to the extreme, which makes people happy at first sight.

Qin Shiou looked at Auerbach tentatively. The latter shrugged and said, "I suggest you walk around and think about it when you go back. After all, it's close to 300,000 Canadian dollars."

Then, Auerbach turned the conversation again: "But you still swipe your card. I know, you must have bought it now. Your eyes tell me that this car is your car."
