"Let's just say I'm going to Shackleton!" Wang Hao said. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
"Wang Hao, are you going out?" Li Qian didn't know when she woke up and appeared at the door of the control room.
"Oh, you're awake just in time, I have to go out for a while, I want to find Shackleton to learn about the Jinbida Mining next door, and by the way, find out about Shackleton's life!" Wang Hao said.
Li Qian was a little reluctant to let Wang Hao leave, walked over and hugged Wang Hao, "Come back early!"
……
Shackleton's home is in a small town more than 100 miles from the sea, not far from Port Hedland.
After Wang Hao went out, he originally wanted to take out the Tourang from the space to drive, but after thinking about it, it seemed a little inappropriate, after all, the Tourang is a domestic car, and it has not yet been licensed here, so it is better to keep a low profile when he first comes here, so as not to leave a bad impression in the eyes of the Australian government and affect the right to obtain permanent residence.
Next to the lodging area is a pickup truck that looks relatively new, and it is a side asset that was packaged when it acquired Autuo.
Wang Hao tried to start the engine, and only after two attempts did it start.
The fuel tank is also full, which is not bad.
To get to Shackleton's house, you have to walk about a dozen kilometers north from the mining area, and then the provincial road.
However, this provincial road built in the mining area is not wide, although it is four lanes, but if you encounter a large truck, it is estimated that it can only become a two-lane road.
Wang Hao drove on the provincial road, and at this time on the opposite lane, a "train" suddenly rushed over!
The speed of the "train" is estimated to be more than 100 kilometers per hour, and it carries a long trail of smoke and dust wherever it passes.
Wang Hao was taken aback: "Oh my God! The train is actually driving onto the highway!!"
However, when Wang Hao saw the "train" rushing over, he couldn't help but laugh dumbly, where is this train, it is clearly a big truck!
It's just that instead of one compartment is hung in the back of this big truck, there are ten!!
And all the carriages are full of crimson iron ore!
At this time, an off-road vehicle caught up from behind Wang Hao, and the off-road vehicle desperately honked its horn!
The big truck was already roaring over at this time, and the driver of the car stuck his head out of the window and yelled at Wang Hao.
Before Wang Hao could understand what was going on, the front of the big truck rushed past Wang Hao's pickup truck with a roar.
Wang Hao only felt that the pickup truck was fluttering, as if it was about to be sucked by the wind of the big truck, he couldn't help but be shocked, tightened the steering wheel with both hands, and immediately slowed down.
In just a few seconds, Wang Hao only felt a cold sweat on his body, and a big truck like a train drove over, Wang Hao immediately parked the car on the side of the road and walked down from the car.
The off-road vehicle behind has long been parked on the far side of the road, and even half of it is parked on the roadbed, so it can be seen that the driver of the off-road vehicle is very afraid of this kind of big truck!
Out of the SUV came a couple in their thirties, dressed and looking like they were Chinese.
"Are you ......?" Wang Hao asked as he tried to speak Chinese.
The middle-aged couple's faces, which were originally a little angry, showed a surprised smile at this time: "Yes, we are Chinese, and we are here to travel!
Wang Hao smiled and said, "I'm here to make money." ”
"Oh...... No wonder, you must not have read a good guide!" the middle-aged couple lamented.
Wang Hao asked, "Is there a connection, and are you asking me to pull over just now?"
The faces of the middle-aged couple immediately became angry again: "Didn't you die just now? Don't you know that this kind of road train is often encountered here in the mining area! This kind of car cannot be stopped at all because of its fast speed and the large number of goods it pulls, and it is best for a light vehicle to pull over as much as possible when encountering this kind of road train, so as not to be sucked under the wheels of a big truck!"
Wang Hao was a little moved by the anger of the middle-aged couple, thinking back to the scene just now, it was really a little scary, so he immediately thanked the middle-aged couple and said: "I'm sorry, it's the first time I've come! Thank you for your kindness, I'll pay attention to it later!"
"Well, that's good, we are all Han Chinese, and we have to unite abroad. The middle-aged man seemed to be very satisfied with Wang Hao's answer, and smiled friendly.
"Please don't mind, my husband is a little quick-tempered and easy to get angry, he is kind-hearted!" The middle-aged woman was afraid that Wang Hao would be angry, so she explained on the side.
Of course Wang Hao won't be angry, he can see the sincerity of the two.
"It's okay, I'm taught!"
After saying goodbye to the kind middle-aged couple, Wang Hao returned to his pickup.
The middle-aged couple also drove away first.
"Road trains? huh...... , This is really a unique scenery in Australia, but you want to suck my car, right?" Wang Hao got out of the car again, looked at the front and rear of the road, and immediately put the pickup into the space.
"System, please recycle the pickup!"
The pickup truck is too light, so transform it into a heavy-duty pickup truck that is weighted and bulletproof and strengthens horsepower!!
System: "Successful recovery, congratulations to the host for getting the pickup manufacturing blueprints!"
"Make bulletproof pickups!"
System: "As you wish, manufacturing, manufacturing, do you immediately move the heavy-duty pickup out of the space?"
"Yes!"
With a bang, the modified heavy-duty pickup appeared in the original place, and from the vibration of the ground, you can feel the weight of this car!!
Hit the road!!
Wang Hao smiled and got back into the pickup truck and drove it to 110 km/h.
Along the way, he encountered road trucks many times, but Wang Hao all roared and passed by the shocking road train, and then left the truck driver with a stunned expression!!
……
An hour later, Wang Hao finally found Shackleton, who was repairing cars at home.
Shackleton is a 1.9-meter-tall strong man with strong muscles on his bare vest.
Seeing Wang Hao driving the car and parking in front of his house, Shackleton stopped what he was doing, glanced at the dilapidated car, threw the tools on the ground, and greeted Wang Hao.
"Who are you looking for?" Shackleton said.
"You're Shackleton, right! I'm Wang Hao, the new boss of Aotuo!" Wang Hao said.
Shackleton's eyes lit up, and he respectfully asked, "It's you, boss, please come and sit in the house!"
The wages of Australian miners are very high, with an annual salary of more than 120,000 Australian dollars, which is equivalent to more than 600,000 yuan a year, which is almost 10 times the wage of domestic workers, but the price here is not ten times, but only about 3 times that of China.
In addition, in addition to various holidays throughout the year, I only work 8 hours a day, and my salary is paid weekly.
Therefore, as long as there is a salary, it is not difficult to easily feed a family.
Donald said that Shackleton was poor due to illness, which made Wang Hao a little incredulous.
But now Shackleton's home, which is presented in front of Wang Hao, looks really poor!
