395.Monster Truck (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
Hall is a middleman, but he is a middleman who needs to exist, he will help Yang Shubao to make various inquiries and find suitable items, although he charges intermediary fees, but it can help him save money better.
Another is that there are many unspoken rules in the South African market, and it is too difficult for a foreigner like him to eat well in South Africa.
Just like this time he needed an ATV, Hall didn't simply follow his idea to help him find an ATV, but gave him a better option: "Look at this bike, how about it?"
He handed the phone to Yang Shubao, and a strange-looking car appeared on the screen, with four large tires exposed, and a spare tire hanging behind the door, the overall style was like a super-heightened version of a go-kart.
The front and rear tires of the car seem to be connected with a steel frame, shock absorption, suspension, and the front frame are all exposed, and there is a small compartment on the frame, in which the front of the car is almost triangular, which is very simple at a glance.
However, this car should suit Yang Shubao's needs, because it has a high chassis, a high center of gravity, and four large tires are more exaggerated than the tires of an ATV, and it looks like it has strong off-road ability.
When Yang Shubao saw such a car for the first time, he asked curiously, "What kind of car is this?"
"Buggy, some people call it a monster truck or a bug truck. ”
"I can understand the monster truck, it means that the tires are very thick, right? Why do you call it a bug?"
Hall smiled: "Because it is good at running in extreme environments such as deserts, wastelands, and mountains, it twists and twists when it runs, jumps, and has a special appearance, so it gets the nickname of the bed bug car." ”
Yang Shubao asked, "How is its off-road performance?"
"It's better than an ATV," Hall gave a thumbs up, "it's more powerful, and the V8 engine is not quite powerful compared to the ATV." ”
The old man who came to get the stuff saw their discussion and got involved, and when he saw the car, he said, "Well, the monster truck, it's a thing for men, it's the Dakar Rally, it's amazing." ”
"It's mostly leather, and it's definitely more suitable than an ATV for someone like you who doesn't know how to fix cars. Hall said.
Monster trucks are actually ugly, but ugly and handsome, maybe this is a man's aesthetic.
Yang Shubao flipped through the photos and asked, "Is the condition of the car the same as the photos this time?"
"No, I didn't shoot it, it was sent by a friend, that's it. ”
Yang Shubao asked, "How much is the car?"
"R50,000, stop in Durban now, are you interested in leaving now, and we will be back at noon. ”
"How many are there?" asked Mr. Zhang, who also needed ATVs, which were mainly used to take passengers on wild trips to the grasslands.
Hall shook his head and said: "This car is not for you, Kim, what you need is an ATV, you don't need strong off-road ability, but a stronger passenger capacity, the monster truck can seat two people at most, you need a long ATV, at least six of those ATVs." ”
Zhang Jinjie asked, "Then do you have a suitable source to introduce?"
"No problem, I'll help you find it, there are two cars in total, the price is very cheap, the total is only 20,000 rand, how about it?"
Yang Shubao asked, "Why are ATVs so cheap?"
Hall said: "Because the engine of the monster truck is V8, I told you about it. You have to know the price of the V8 engine, and the suspension is not the same, the monster truck is actually very expensive, but your car is a black car, so it is cheap. ”
"Black car?" Lao Yang suddenly hesitated.
Hall smiled and said, "What do you care if it's a black car or not? Do you want to put a license on the road? As long as you don't have a license on the road, who can check you in South Africa? Don't worry, I won't cheat you." ”
This is a very convincing statement.
The group of three set off on Hall's Land Rover and headed straight for Durban.
Monster trucks are sold by a car repair factory, which actually makes money by selling black cars, and a port city like Durban must have a thriving smuggling business, and every year hundreds of thousands of black cars have to go ashore from here and then be sent to African countries.
The door of the garage is quite large, all are color steel tile houses, its location is very good, facing the highway, backed by the sea, from time to time there are seagulls flying in to find food, there is no poetic feeling.
"It's the most common mobile factory on the coast, and they're all in the grey business, and if there's a police raid, they'll throw away the factory and run away with money and important goods, so you don't have to worry when you buy a monster truck, these guys may leave Durban at any point," Hall said. ”
There were a few strong black men playing cards with cigarettes in their mouths at the garage gate, and Hall took a handful of beer and put it in their middle and said, "Where's one ear? Let him come out and buy a bug car." ”
A young man swayed rhythmically to his feet, and he shook hands with Hale with a dazzling gesture, a set of code words.
Hall was very successful, and the young man shook his hand and shouted upstairs, "One ear, business is here!"
A fat and strong black man looked down from the upstairs window, and Yang Shubao looked over and saw that his left ear was gone.
After seeing Hall, the black man laughed and ran down, he hugged Hall vigorously and said, "It's great to see you, brother, you almost can't see me." ”
"You're part of the docks battle too?" Hale chatted with him.
One ear spat viciously and said: "Lao Tzu is a ruthless character, it is absolutely impossible to make trouble on Lao Tzu's territory, of course I have to ......"
"This fool is here to pick up bullet casings, and the bullet casings he picked up that day were sold for hundreds of dollars. ”
The black lads burst out laughing as they drank beer.
One ear kicked him and said angrily: "Fuck off, get that red devil out." ”
The overall paint of the monster truck that Hall introduced to Yang Shubao was green, and it is normal for it to turn red now, because the black car will immediately erase the girder and repaint it when it comes ashore.
The garage still has two brushes, and the paint is sprayed evenly with a ghost pattern logo on it, which looks very trendy.
From a real point of view, the impact of the monster truck is stronger, especially the shock absorbers and car control arms in the back, which are really thick and strong.
Seeing him staring at the shock absorber and the control arm, one ear thought that he disliked it too bulky, so he took the initiative to explain: "This car has done the maximum weight reduction, you see that the control arm has been punched and made a lightweight design, which is absolutely great." ”
"And look at this tire, it's definitely not a fake, it's all all-terrain tires with large rubber particles, which deepens the grooves and improves tire adhesion. ”
"The steering power is a German brand, although I don't like the Germans, but their mechanical craftsmanship is not said. Come in and look at the interior, it's simple and functional, it's the tachometer, the oil pressure gauge and the water temperature gauge. ”
"The brake is a handbrake, a two-hand brake, running fast and braking hard. How about listening to the roar of the monster if you're interested?"
