I did what I said, and when I got up the next day, Qin Shiou planned to buy a car.
Auerbach learned of his plan and smiled: "It just so happens that your ID has been processed, and we will go to St. Johns to get it out for you."
Originally, Qin Shiou didn’t plan to change cars so quickly. He’s sure to buy a car. At any rate, he is a fisherman worth hundreds of millions of dollars. Is it fair to say that he doesn’t have a car?
Before, he planned to mention a car by the way when Ricci's auction was held in Ottawa in a few days. Now the old car in Auerbach is on strike, and 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, this city is located at the center of the North Atlantic shipping route and is also the center of the world-famous cod fishing grounds.
Qin Shiou and Auerbach went by a passenger ship. Farewell Island is not far from St. John's, and the straight-line distance is less than 500 kilometers.
Standing on the deck, feeling the icy refreshment of the clear sea breeze, smelling the light smell of sea water, Qin Shiou enjoyed it very much.
There are endless seas everywhere, the sea breeze blows, the blue sea is undulating, the snow-white waves are surging hard, from time to time there are seagulls croaking and flying, and the blue clear sky makes everything clean.
"Do you like the ocean very much?" a middle-aged man in a suit and suit with a 19th-century British gentleman's vest, standing next to Qin Shiou asked.
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 interrupted and said: "Qin, I am very fortunate to bring you to Newfoundland. I feel more and more that you are born here. I bet that Daqin Fishery will eventually return to glory in your hands."
"Ocean will not disappoint the children and grandchildren who love her, she will pay you enough." The man in the vest smiled and nodded.
The man in the waistcoat is about forty years old. He is dressed as a gentleman and has a noble manner. He seems to be very interested in Qin Shiou and has been chatting with him. Finally, when the passenger ship entered the St. Louis Wharf, he held out his hand. Said: "It's nice to communicate with you, Qin, I'm William Hamley."
Qin Shiou smiled and shook hands.
"Also the mayor of the farewell town." Auerbach added.
Qin Shiou smiled three-pointers brightly, and his handshake increased by three-pointers.
The encounter with the mayor was just an episode on the road. Afterwards, Auerbach led Qin Shiou to the immigration office, checked his identity, and obtained 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. The official Qin is heartless and silly.
After lunch, the two went to the largest car shopping center in St. Louis, ‘Poly Auto City’, which was full of 4S shops, full of cars.
It’s interesting that Canada, a nominally developed capitalist country, does not have its own car brand.
Because the country is large but the population is small, and the winter in Canada is very cold, cars have become an extremely important means of travel. It stands to reason that such a country should be a big auto industry country.
Unfortunately, Canada’s neighbor and big brother is the United States, which is the world’s largest auto dumping country. Canada can’t develop the auto industry at all. American and European autos have long regarded this place as a colony, and the auto market has been allocated cleanly.
Qin Shiou and Auerbach walked into the Auto City, and an energetic young man greeted him and asked, “I’m Tiger, the service engineer of Polaroid Auto City. What can I do for you?”
Auerbach said: "My little friend wants to buy a car, so please take us to see it."
Tiger introduced: "Then what type of car do you need? Jeep? MPV? SUV? Car? Van? Or truck?"
This is the Auto City, but it’s actually a bit like a car exhibition hall. There are bright and shiny cars everywhere in the destination, and the air is smelling of light rubber, and everyone is watching the cars.
Qin Shiou thought of his dream of a sports car, and asked: "What brand of better sports cars do you have here? How much is the Audi R8?"
When Tiger heard these words, he knew that the young man in front of him was very rich.
It should be understood that although there are many cars in Canada, people do not pay attention to the luxury and brand of the cars. Generally, they pay attention to the practicality. The safe German cars used to be popular. Now, with the increase in international fuel prices, the fuel-efficient Japanese cars sell well.
In addition, Canada may be the country with the lowest proportion of sports cars in the developed countries, because most areas here are heavily snowed in winter and the roads in spring and autumn are also very slippery. Sports cars in this environment are simply a reminder of the king. Who dares to drive?
Auerbach knew this reason, so he persuaded: "No, Qin, you can either buy an SUV or a Jeep, the worst is a car, don’t buy a sports car."
Qin Shiou thought about it, and said, "That's an SUV."
The car is boring, the Jeep is too ugly to buy a sports car, the compromise choice is SUV.
Tiger said immediately: "If you want to buy an SUV, then I recommend you to choose Honda XR-V, Land Cruiser or Pajero. In addition, Lexus RX and Infiniti QX80 are also good choices. These cars are the most sold in their price range. Okay, it's safe, fuel-efficient, and comfortable..."
These five cars span from 20,000 Canadian dollars to 400,000 Canadian dollars. From economy to luxury and comfort, Qin Shiou has a choice no matter what grade he chooses. This shows how skilled Tiger's business is.
But Qin Shiou heard the more he listened, the more unpleasant he said, "Wait, these cars are all Japanese cars, right?"
Tiger smiled and said: "Yes, sir, Japanese cars are the most popular now, because they are the most fuel-efficient, economical enough, and beautifully made."
Qin Shiou shook his head and said, "No, I don't buy Japanese and Korean cars. Take me to see American cars 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 didn't need money. If he wanted to buy, he would buy things from Yankees or Europeans.
Tiger immediately changed his tone and said: "If you want to buy an American car, then I recommend it to you..."
"High-end." Qin Shiou added coaxingly.
"A high-end American car must be Cadillac. If anyone can represent American car craftsmanship, it must be the pride of Detroit and the pride of 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 cars with colorful shields on their fronts suddenly appeared in his field of vision.
Cadillac’s storefront was relatively deserted. Seeing Qin Shiou heading straight to President No. 1, the waiter rushed up enthusiastically, and hot coffee and fragrant cookies came up one after another.
"The length of the car is close to six meters, the width and height of the car is 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 inside, you You will understand, sir, this car is specially designed for successful people like you. I bet that if you sit in it, you are the president!" Tiger said in a **.
Qin Shiou doesn't know much about cars. After all, he was born in a genre, and he had never even had a Chery QQ before, let alone this kind of super SUV with a domestic price of close to 3 million.
The manager of the Cadillac 4S store personally explained: "President One uses a 6L displacement V8 engine. The power is extraordinary. The power reaches 248KW that makes you feel like you are flying. I think this is enough for a car. After all, not every man likes a beast like the fifteenth generation of knights."
Qin Shiou got into the car and took a look 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 functions. There is even a luxurious bar and an advanced digital home theater entertainment system. It is simply a mobile presidential suite.
The characteristics of American cars are luxury and compelling. This President One takes these features to the extreme and makes people happy at first sight.
Qin Shiou looked at Auerbach tentatively. The latter shrugged and said: "I suggest you walk around, go back and think about it. After all, this is close to 300,000 Canadian dollars."
Then, Auerbach’s conversation turned again: “But you’d better swipe your card, I know, you must buy it now, and your eyes tell me that this car is your car.”
