Shane Casson wakes up and gets ready to buy a car the next day.
After learning of his plan, Auerbach laughed and said, "Good, your identity documents have also been processed. We can go to St. John's together to take it."
St. John's is the capital and largest city of Newfoundland, located in the southeast of the island and being an important port. The city faces the Atlantic Ocean and is located on the North Atlantic shipping route and is the center of the world famous cod fishing grounds.
Shane Casson and Auerbach board a passenger ship to St. John 's. Distance between farewell island and St. John's is pretty close, with a straight track distance of less than 500 kilometers.
Standing on the deck, feeling the breath of fresh sea breeze on his face, smelling a slightly fishy smell from the sea, Shane Casson greatly enjoyed his journey.
A vast ocean stretched out in all directions, with winds blowing and surging blue seas. A huge snow-white wave surged ferociously, the occasional flying seagull flashed, adding to the atmosphere of the clear, clear blue sky.
"Do you like the sea?" a middle-aged man wearing a 19th-century British-style vest and suit stood next to Shane Casson and asked.
Shane Casson smiled and replied, "Yes, why not? The sea is the birthplace of life and home to most creatures on earth."
Auerbach interjected, "I'm happy to take you to Newfoundland. I am more and more convinced that you were born to be a part of this. I'm sure the fishery will recover to be resplendent in your hands."
"The sea will not disappoint his descendants who love him. The sea will give you enough blessings," the man in the vest smiled and nodded.
The man in the vest looked to be in his forties, dressed like a daima, and spoke and acted like a noble. He seemed very interested in Shane Casson and continued to chat with him. When the passenger ship arrived at St. Louis, he reached out his hand and said, "It's nice talking to you, Shane Casson. My name is William Hamlet."
Shane Casson smiled and shook hands.
"He is also the mayor of Gander" Auerbach added.
Shane Casson's smile grew brighter, and he shook hands even louder.
Meeting with the mayor is just a small episode on their journey. Later, Auerbach takes Shane Casson to the Immigration Office, checks his identity, and gets his new ID, the Maple Leaf Card.
The Maple Leaf card is the same size as a credit card, with a beautiful orange maple leaf image in the background and a photo of Shane Casson's face on the left, smiling cheerfully and looking foolish.
After lunch, the two of them went to the largest car dealership in St. Louis, "Boli Auto City," with 4S stores, and a parking lot full of cars.
Interestingly, Canada, a nominally developed capitalist country, does not have an independent car brand.
Due to its vast territory, relatively few population, and the extremely cold winters in Canada, cars are becoming an important means of transportation. In theory, such a country should be a major car manufacturing country.
Unfortunately, the neighboring country and its big brother is the United States, the largest exporter of cars in the world. Canada cannot develop its own car industry, and American and European companies have long treated it as a colony, leaving the car market fully under control.
Auerbach said, "My friend wants to buy a car, can you show me some available cars?"
Tiger introduced, "What car are you looking for? A jeep? THE MPV? AN SUV? A sedan? The vans? Or trucks?"
Although this place is referred to as the city of cars, it is actually more like a car show. Shimmering cars were seen everywhere, and in the air there was a faint smell of rubber. People come, look around the car.
Shane Casson recalled his dream of owning a sports car and asked, "What is the best brand available here? How much is an Audi R8?"
As soon as Tiger heard this sentence, he knew that the young man in front of him was a rich man.
Keep in mind that although many cars exist in Canada, people are not too focused on luxury and brands. Generally, they value practicality more. Fuel-efficient Japanese cars are selling well, while safety-focused German cars have been popular in the past.
Besides, the, Canada may have the lowest proportion of sports cars among developed countries as most areas here have severe snow buildup in winter and slippery roads in spring and fall. Sports cars in such environments are tantamount to death-defying. Who would dare to drive it?
Auerbach learned of this reason and suggested, "No, Shane, you'd better buy an SUV or a Jeep at least, but not a sports car."
Shane thought for a moment and said, "Then just SUV."
Auerbach suggests that sedans are not strong enough, Jeeps are too ugly, and sports cars are unlikely to be chosen, so SUVs are a good choice.
Tiger immediately suggested, "If you want to buy an SUV, I recommend a Honda XR-V, Land Cruiser, or Pajero. In addition, the Lexus RX and Infiniti QX80 are also good choices. These cars are the best-selling cars in their price class, with strong safety, fuel efficiency and comfort..."
The five cars have prices ranging from 20,000 to 400,000 Canadian dollars, from economical models to luxury models with high comfort. With so many options, Shane Casson was able to choose a car according to his budget, suggesting that Tiger was very good at his job.
But the longer Shane Casson listened, the more uncomfortable he felt. He said, "Wait a minute, all the cars you recommend are Japanese cars, right?"
Tiger laughed and said, "Yes, sir. Japanese cars today are popular because they are the most fuel efficient, economically practical, and have a very stylish design."
Shane Casson shook his head and said, "No, I don't want to buy a Japanese or Korean car. Take me to see an American or European car."
Tiger immediately changed his tone and said, "If you want to buy an American car, let me recommend some to you..."
"It's a luxury" added Shane Casson with confidence.
"A luxury American car, it's definitely a Cadillac. If there's a car that can represent American automotive expertise, it's definitely American pride and excitement, namely the Cadillac from Detroit!" said Tiger. "I recommend you Presidential One!"
