355. Hippie minibus
The Zulu towns have a unique style, there are no high-rise buildings, at most there are some wooden and brick houses, and there are many mud and straw houses with mud walls and elephant grass roofs.
However, this does not mean that it is primitive and backward, there is also water and electricity here, and there are girls who hang not jewelry but mobile phones on their chests, MADE-IN-CHINA, good mobile phone Transsion.
There are also more cars on the streets, more than in resort towns, and locals come and go with satisfied and energetic smiles on their faces.
"The blacks here are different from what I imagined. β
"Black people in South Africa are not the same thing as black people in Africa, and Zulu people are different from ordinary black people, they should have made a fortune in recent years, and now the policy is tilted towards them," Yang said. β
I can't talk about the deeper topics, in short, the Zulu people are now the main force in South African politics.
Kirkla-St. Paul V was one of the tycoons of the town, and his name could tell that he came from an unusual family, otherwise he would not have added the name V to his surname.
His family has always controlled the transportation industry in the Nongoma area, using donkeys, oxen and horned antelopes to pull and transport, but when conditions gradually improved, they bought cars, and now owns the only transportation company and car shop in the town.
There is a hand-out shop in front of the transportation company all year round, which contains simple foods such as starchy bananas and steamed vegetables with corn flour.
When they arrived, a woman with two children begging for food, a tall black man helping to scoop the food, and he finally gave each of the two children a lollipop, making the two children laugh.
Yang Shubao got out of the car and asked, "Hello, is Mr. Kirkla St. Paul V here?"
The black man looked at them and grinned in a friendly manner, and he turned back to the shop and shouted in the local language, and then a well-dressed black young man ran out.
Zhang Jinjie coughed lightly and stretched out his hand to the young man in a suit very formally: "Hello, Mr. St. Paul V?"
The young man shook hands with him in surprise and said, "Oh, no, I'm Nachila, and he's St. Paul V." β
The tall middle-aged black man smiled and said, "Yes, I am Kirkla-St. Paul V, you are Mr. Yang and Mr. Jin? β
The faΓ§ade of the transportation company is not very atmospheric, but it occupies a large area, and there is a large open space behind it, and a shade shed is erected on the open space, and the transportation cars and the cars used for sale are parked in it.
Kirkla asked curiously, "Are you Chinese?"
Yang Shubao said: "Yes, the two of us are from China, do you know China?"
Ke Krahaha smiled: "Of course, of course, I have been to China, Yangcheng, Beijing, etc., I like Yangcheng very much, the food there is very rich and delicious, but it is too hot in summer, my God, I went to stay for half a month and I got a tan." β
He stretched out his arm exaggeratedly to show the two of them, but Yang Shubao stared at it for a while and didn't see anything.
Kirkla went to China to do business, he has Chinese cars here, Jinbei car, Jinlong car, Changan car and so on, he is very proud to tell the two that he is the general agent of Chinese vans in the northern region of Kua Province.
There is no doubt that he hopes that the two of them will buy a Chinese van, but Zhang Jinjie can't take it seriously, because he wants to receive a boutique small group, and it is a domestic tourist, so he will use a Jinbei van to pick them up when the time comes?
I'm afraid that the reputation will stink once.
Zhang Jinjie's budget is enough, and he wants to buy a Toyota Coaster.
As a result, this request stumped Kirkla, and he smiled dryly: "Coaster is a great business car, very luxurious, but it is too expensive, there is no sales in a small place like ours, do you want to buy such a luxury car?"
Zhang Jinjie said: "I want to do tourism, so I need a more high-grade car. β
Kirkla snapped his fingers and looked clear: "I understand what you mean, there is a car here, it can definitely meet your needs, and its price is not too high, come with me to see, if you want to entertain Chinese tourists, there is no better suit." β
Under a canopy is a brand-new red and white minibus, this car has a retro shape, the top is white and the bottom is red, it looks like a long loaf, and there is a big Volkswagen logo on the front of the car, which should belong to a kind of classic car.
Kirkla patted the front of the car and said: "Hippie minibus T2, the most classic minibus born in 1950, do you know it? The great Steve Jobs once sold his beloved hippie minibus to raise funds to establish the original Apple company, without the hippie minibus, there would be no Apple company that could change the world." β
Yang Shubao feels that the shape of this car is indeed very interesting, this belongs to the classic car, for domestic tourists, what Coaster or Mercedes-Benz luxury business should not be as good as taking such a classic car.
Zhang Jinjie also realized this, he made a look and said, "Understand?"
Yang Shubao nodded to Kirkra, and Kirkla understood what he meant and opened the door and explained: "You first look at its internal structure, its steering wheel is very large, does it feel like a big truck? Haha, this is because this car was born in 1950, when World War II had just ended, most of the people who could afford to buy private cars and dealt with the war, these guys have a strong desire to control, so this car is designed with a large steering wheel." β
In addition to the large steering wheel, the entire cabin of this car, including the cab design, is simple, and the rigor of the Germans is clearly displayed in this car.
There are a lot of glass and seats in the car, resulting in a somewhat narrow seat space, which makes Zhang Jinjie a little uncomfortable.
Kirkla explained to him: "Don't think it's small, its interior can be modified, this car was the first self-modified motorhome in Europe, the famous Westphalian motorhome company designed a folding slanted table, a seated sofa and a storage cabinet for it, if you need it I can give you the design book, any garage can modify it." β
Zhang Jinjie pinched his waist in embarrassment and said: "What I need is not an RV, or a tourist minibus." β
"The best thing about it is that it is the ideal means of transport for Germans to 'go to freedom and sunshine'. During the European holidays of the sixties and seventies of the last century, half of the cars on the road to Lake Gadar in Italy were all about it, and I am not exaggerating. Kirkla explained.
Yang Shubao sat in the carriage and looked up, and then smiled: "What's the matter, is the roof of this car a nylon tarpaulin?"
Kirkla also smiled: "This is also a classic design, its sunroof is very large, you see, this sunroof is not blocked by glass like the current car, but with a pressure-resistant and waterproof tarpaulin." In fact, Volkswagen has released a T2 with a full tarpaulin roof, which has been loved by many young people. We can think about it, when the tarpaulin roof is opened in the field at night, the bright moonlight is perfectly sprinkled in, and the two hug each other to bathe in the moonlight, isn't it romantic and warm?"
