11. Confrontation (thanks to the tip of the Chubby League)
There is no shortage of fruit in South Africa, and there are farms around Hlukhluwe that have a particularly high number of fruits.
Yang Shubao gave the fruit stall owner a blue buffalo and said, "I don't know what fruits my friend likes to eat, can he try and choose everything?"
The chubby black sister Lisuo accepted the hundred-yuan bill and smiled: "Of course, of course, this child is so cute, I like children, let him taste it, I guess he will like avocados, children like avocados." ”
Yang Shubao didn't bother to explain, he took a navel orange to Nate: "Try this, South Africa's navel oranges are very famous." ”
Nate took a bite of the orange peel and spit it out, his face full of disgust: "It's worse than a banana." ”
"This one has to be skinned too!"
Navel oranges are very sweet and full of moisture, Nate peeled off the skin and tasted it, and then smiled: "This is delicious, city lord, I like this, I will not eat bananas in the future, I will eat navel oranges." ”
Yang Shubao said: "You can try something else, maybe something even better." ”
Nate shook his head as he shoved the orange meat into his mouth.
Yang Shubao didn't force it, he bought a small schoolbag for Nate to carry, which was stuffed with navel oranges, Nate ate navel oranges all the way, his face was full of satisfaction: "City Lord, you are so good to me." ”
"As long as you're good, I'll buy you a GAI. ”
There are two builders in the small town, and Yang Shubao casually found one to talk to the boss.
There are many slums in South Africa, and there is a lot of market for color steel tile houses, so any construction team can use color steel tiles to build houses, and there is no difficulty in this.
Knowing that he was going to build a color steel tile house in the wilderness, the boss nodded and said: "This is very simple, this is very simple, Chinese friends, if you only buy materials, then one square meter is one hundred and forty yuan, if we contract labor and materials one square meter is two hundred and forty yuan, how about it?"
Yang Shubao said: "How to calculate the money for laying the foundation?"
When he heard this, the boss laughed: "Lay the foundation? You want to build a building with color steel tiles? How many people do you live in?"
Yang Shubao said: "No, it's not to build a building, but I think it's smoother and safer to lay a foundation, and it can also isolate water vapor." ”
The boss held his hand and said: "No need to lay the foundation, our color steel tile house is of reliable quality, the bearing capacity per square meter is 200 kilograms, and the earthquake resistance level is 7.5." As for isolating water vapor, it's even simpler, you build two floors, downstairs as a warehouse, raise livestock, and people live on the second floor, can't you?"
Yang Shubao added: "Is there a better quality color steel? I need a stronger load-bearing one, because I have to cover the roof with elephant grass and cover the walls with mud to keep out the heat." ”
The boss nodded and said, "Then you have to use D-grade polystyrene sandwich panels, plus fifty yuan per square meter." ”
Yang Shubao nodded in understanding, he found Nate and whispered, "Aren't you good at negotiation, fraud, and doing business?" ”
Nate said confidently: "Leave it to me, city lord, I have a way to let him work for you for nothing!"
"Don't be too ruthless. "Yang Shubao is a proletariat after all, not a capitalist, and has a conscience," just let him give a cost price. ”
Nei nodded and then thought, what is the difference between giving the cost price and working for you for nothing?
He walked over with great momentum and didn't speak, and the boss said first: "The child goes to play, and I don't talk about money with the child." ”
Goblins: o_O???
There was no way, Yang Shubao had to come forward by himself, he took out his mother's set of groceries and began to bargain: "Your price is too high, the D-grade polystyrene sandwich panel is 240 yuan per square meter." ”
"Impossible," the boss refused, "D-grade polystyrene sandwich panels, 280 yuan per square meter, this is the lowest price." ”
Yang Shubao was about to leave: "Then I'll go to Hercules Construction Company to have a look." ”
"Wait, Chinese brother, two hundred and seventy yuan, two hundred and seventy yuan, this is the lowest price, you can find a lower price in the market, then I am willing to be your son!"
"I don't think so, I went to Hercules and asked him for the price. ”
"Two hundred and five per square!"
"Deal!"
In Yang Shubao's planning, the color steel tile house is only for transitional use, so he doesn't want to build too big, two floors of five meters high, five meters wide, ten meters long is enough for him, so calculate the required color steel area is four walls plus a roof, a floor, a total of about 300 square meters, 75,000 rand.
He asked the boss to install the house on the same day, and the boss promised: "No problem, no problem, I will go in the afternoon, this is very fast, a matter of a day or two." ”
Yang Shubao understood how unreliable the promises of black South Africans were, and he said categorically: "Your team can't get to me in the afternoon, I will change people immediately, and I won't give you a deposit, so I can't earn a penny if I change another construction team." ”
His tough attitude made the boss dissatisfied: "Are the Chinese as discredited as the white-skinned guys?" Hey boy, you look at it, this is South Africa, not you China, we are already in charge, you must give us respect!"
There were a few strong black men around who stood up, their faces unkind.
Yang Shubao was not intimidated, and Nate was beaten up.
So he took out his temporary passport and said very strongly: "South Africa is amazing, I respect every good person in South Africa, especially Mr. Mandela, so I am happy to do business with you and make you money." But I'm not going to be bullied, you know?"
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the People's Republic of China has asked the military and political organs of various countries to facilitate the passage of the permit holders and provide necessary assistance, and our government has asked your military and political organs to assist me, understand? I am a scientist who has come to support you in the construction of South Africa!"
Dealing with local blacks is a combination of hard and soft, which was taught to him by an American colleague when he first came to the reserve.
The first time the black boss saw the temporary version of the Chinese passport, he saw the words on it and Yang Shubao's photo clearly, and saw that the passport had the stamp of the Peter City Police Department, and he was a little jealous: "Okay, I'll arrange someone to work immediately, 75,000 yuan, you have to give it to me!"
"As soon as your team goes, I'll give you half of the deposit. ”
The black boss checked the contents of the temporary passport again, and then looked at him with awe on his face.
Leaving the approximate address, Yang Shubao took Nate to the supermarket to buy things, and the resort town was really short of supplies.
Woolworth, a famous supermarket chain in South Africa, can be heard from the name, this supermarket is a copycat Wal-Mart, it mainly sells vegetables and fruits, and also sells clothing, Yang Shubao took Nate to buy clothes first.
Nate is only 1.23 meters tall, and he has to go to the children's clothing area to buy clothes.
The earth elves have the simplicity of the land, and they don't love beauty like the forest elves, night elves, and blood elves, so Yang Shubao found the shopping guide and said directly: "Take out the cheapest clothes and I'll take a look." ”
The black lady said with disdain: "Sir, your son is very cute......"
She looked at Nate and changed her words: "Your son is very obedient and well-behaved, I think you should treat him better, and it is better to dress him up." ”
Yang Shubao said: "Okay, take out the most expensive children's clothes in your store and show him to wear them." ”
The style of painting changed too much before and after, and the young lady was stunned: "Really? Are you joking?"
"yes, but you were kidding me first. Yang Shubao said angrily, "This is not my son, it's an adult!"
He bought two sets of clothes for Nate for fifty rand and two sets for himself for five hundred rand, as well as some food such as dehydrated sausages, dried beef, raw chicken cutlets, and drinks.
The barbecue grill was sold at a discount in the supermarket, and Yang Shubao saw that the price was not expensive, and it was only 120 rand when it came to a set of charcoal and tongs, so he bought a set.
After buying a bunch of things, he and Nate rode back to turf on horseback.
The dryad had not communicated with him, and he thought that the tree of life was all right, but when he returned to the shade to take a dip, several small birds suddenly spread their wings and flew up.
These little birds resemble sparrows, they can be slightly larger, they seem to be attracted to the tree of life, and when frightened they fly, they do not fly away, but circle around the canopy, chirping as they fly.
Yang Shubao looked at it carefully and was happy: "Yo, Xiangmi, the tree of life, you are very sassy, this bird can be hooked up by you?"
