Chapter 643 Australian Town
Sydney International Airport is the busiest airport in Australia and the largest international airport in Australia.Located 8 kilometers from the city centre, it attracts about half of international travelers to and from Australia and about a third of Australian domestic traffic.

Carrying a simple backpack, Lin Fan followed the flow of passengers and walked out slowly from the exit passage. There was a large group of pick-up people outside, most of whom were holding paper signs with English, Chinese and other words on them. .

He glanced casually, no need to look, and no one came to pick him up, to ensure his own safety, this time he didn't tell anyone in advance, even Gu Mei didn't know where he was going.

After leaving the gate of the airport, he went outside and took a taxi casually. Lin Fan sat in the back and said softly, "Man, go to the small town of Sheffield."

The taxi driver was a white man, about 30 years old by appearance, with a tall body and burly shoulders. He said enthusiastically, "Brother, are you Chinese? Or Japanese?"

"Chinese." Lin Fan replied flatly, he seemed a little silent, and he was not willing to talk too much. In a strange country, silence may be a layer of protection for him.

"Huh, Chinese, cool, you are here to invest and immigrate? Oh, many Chinese buy ranches or villas in Australia, but man, the small town of Sheffield is not the best choice for you Chinese." While driving the car, the driver chatted with Lin Fan.

"Haha, buddy, have you ever seen an investor taking a taxi? I ​​don't have the idea of ​​immigrating, and I don't have the ability to invest. I just came here to experience the customs and customs of Australia." Lin Fan casually gave a reason and smiled. said.

Sheffield is an old Australian town. It is a very small place. There are less than 1000 people living in the whole town, so it is very quiet.

The reason why Lin Fan chose to stay here at the beginning was because the small town was quiet and quiet, which allowed him to easily avoid the pursuit of his enemies.

It took less than two hours to drive from Sydney to the small town of Sheffield. Along the way, the driver chattered and introduced some unique scenery nearby to Lin Fan.

Lin Fan listened with gusto on the surface, but in fact he didn’t take it to heart at all. What he valued when he came to Australia was the vastness of the land and the sparse population. Rent a house and try to avoid contact with outsiders as much as possible.

When the driver was introducing the nearby scenery, Lin Fan suddenly asked: "Dude, do you have any friends who work in the real estate agency business. I want to rent an apartment here for about a year."

The driver was stunned for a moment. The Chinese in front of him seemed different from the wealthy Chinese he imagined. The Chinese he had met were either rich and bought what they liked, or they had no money and came to Australia to work.

But Lin Fan was not in the scope of the two. He said he was rich, but he didn't look like him. He said he didn't have any money. He came here without bringing anything, and chose a place that was not suitable for Chinese working and living.

"Man, as a local, I would like to advise you that if you want to come to Australia to earn money and work, Sheffield is obviously not the place for you. There are not many people in that town, and they are open to foreigners, especially colored people. kind of distrust."

The driver warmly reminded Lin Fan that although Sheffield is a tourist town and there are many tourists going there every year, almost [-]% of the resident population is white.

In Australia, discrimination is even more serious than in the United States. At the beginning of the nineteenth century, that is, in 1901, Australia introduced a very famous White Australia policy.

This is a general term for the racist policy of the Australian Federation against Asian immigrants. In 1901, the White Australia Policy was officially established as a basic national policy, and only white people were allowed to immigrate.

Under this policy, most Chinese could not stand the oppression and were forced to leave Australia.It was not until the Australian Labor Party government abolished the "White Australia Policy" in 1972 that discrimination against Asians seemed to ease slightly.

However, although the White Australia policy was cancelled, the impact still exists. Many whites are hostile to Asians, believing that the arrival of Asians has reduced the value of labor.

So the driver kindly reminded Lin Fan that if he came to invest, it doesn't matter where he goes, because there are basically two types of people in this world, one is rich and the other is poor.

But if Lin Fan did not come to invest, but came to work to earn money, the small town of Sheffield was obviously a very wrong choice. The white people there would not be willing to hire him, and they would not even be willing to deal with a strange Asian like him. .

Lin Fan said disapprovingly: "Man, I'm not here to work or earn money. I just want to relax here. You know, the pace of life is too fast, and I feel a little tired."

"Wow man, you don't sound like a Chinese, I've never met a Chinese complaining about being too tired, the Chinese I know always like to work longer hours than others, like the store on weekends Business as usual…”

The driver jokingly said that in his eyes, the Chinese are the hardest-working race, working longer hours than any other race, and not paying much attention to the quality of life.

The two chatted like this, and soon came to the small town of Sheffield. The driver pointed to the road sign ahead and said, "Brother, the town is in front, but I don't know any real estate agents."

"But, I figured, I could help you with that in an hour or so, except, you know, we Australians are very hospitable, but I'd be more than happy if you'd pay me a little bit Help, rest assured, the price is absolutely reasonable.”

The driver asked for rewards in an unusual way in Lin Fan's opinion, and then he explained to Lin Fan how these rewards were worthwhile.

"First of all, buddy, in the small town of Sheffield, if you are a Chinese, it is more difficult to find a house, unless it is a short-term rental house or a hotel."

"But I don't think you want to do that, so at this time, my white skin can help you a lot, please don't mind, I don't mean to be racially discriminatory when I say this."

Lin Fan nodded, bargained with the driver once or twice, finalized the specific amount of remuneration, and then put forward his own specific requirements.

In the end, with the help of the driver, Lin Fan successfully rented a small farmhouse in a remote location close to the forest.

After paying the money, signing the contract, paying the driver, and going to the supermarket to buy some necessary daily necessities, he officially settled down in this quiet town.
