Leon's job was easy today, and after choosing a place, he tested the soil layer and the air pressure around him. By the time he stepped into the buggy and left, it took less than an hour.
"I knew it was so easy to be an engineer, and I should have studied hard back then."
Pete regretted that he had not made one or two thousand Australian dollars a week when the cowboy was suffering, but this Leone could take three thousand Australian dollars from Wang Hao just to come and take a look, and then supervise the construction tomorrow. He was unbalanced, but after complaining, he accepted it calmly, after all, the cowboy business is his favorite.
Regarding Pete's words, Wang Hao smiled and said nothing. He suddenly remembered that his mother, who had been thinking about the accounting major for so many years, knew that he should study agriculture and animal husbandry.
He hadn't called home for so long, and he was worried about what kind of storm awaited him. Obviously there is nothing to be busy with, but it has been almost 20 days since I came to Australia, and there is no news, and it is estimated that the family is crazy.
He walked quickly to the living room, unplugged the charging mobile phone, and quickly dialed it, regardless of whether it was convenient for his mother at this time. He just wanted to report his safety as soon as possible, so as not to worry about the two old people in the family. Running from the northern hemisphere to the southern hemisphere is enough distance for parents to worry about.
I thought that what appeared in my ears would be the familiar ringtone "Qianqianque Song" by my mother, but what I waited for was a cold voice, indicating that his mobile phone was in arrears and he couldn't make any calls.
“**!” He bought this phone card in Sydney, and he thought that the 50 Australian dollars in it could be managed for a long time, but now he has poured cold water on him, and he has not many phones at all, so how can he be deducted from the arrears?
Nowadays, the popular foreign ones are basically online video conversations and chats, and you only need to bear the electricity and Internet fees, which are very cheap. But for Chinese, calling cards are still very important, especially when contacting China.
Wang Hao's card said that he could make 800 minutes of international calls, but he didn't make a single call, send text messages, and have no money to go online in Australia.
"What's going on, why are you throwing such a big tantrum?" Luna had just finished feeding the alpacas and walked over with the basket when she found Wang Hao looking angry and gritting her teeth to vent at the tree.
After hearing Luna's voice, Wang Hao quickly took a deep breath, not wanting his distorted face to be discovered by others. He snorted heavily, "I guess I was deceived by the phone card company." I was about to call back to China, but I was told that I owed money. I didn't use it much at all, and the results of the query haven't come back yet. ”
Luna suddenly realized, she bit her lip with her teeth, and hesitated before saying, "Although I don't want to say it, I want to sue you that you have been deceived." There are a lot of seemingly cheap calling cards that actually have terrifying hidden charges that aren't just locals can't tell the difference. It is possible to charge a so-called service fee per day, or to charge an additional fee for calling for more than a few minutes, or the price is divided into different periods. ”
Capitalist countries are not paradises, and the people here may be kinder, but there are still many profiteers, and it would be a big mistake to think that this is the Garden of Eden. Wang Hao met some very kind people, and there was nothing bad about him, it was just that he didn't meet enough people.
At this time, Wang Hao's mobile phone vibrated a little, and the operator sent him a text message to tell him about Wang Hao's tariff. Sure enough, it's very similar to Luna's statement, a service fee of 0.5 yuan is charged every two days, a surcharge of 2 yuan is added after more than 4 minutes, and a call connection fee of 0.79 yuan per call, etc., so the actual number of minutes that can be played is much lower than the advertised time it can play. The unit here is RMB, and the cost of 50 Australian dollars can't withstand so many deductions, and there are even more hidden deductions that are not shown.
"If you complain about this company later, you must give an explanation, otherwise you will directly ask the consumer association or the communications supervision." Wang Hao does not intend to swallow his anger, this is his legitimate rights and interests, and he must fight for it. If ethnic minorities want to call in Australia, they must be valued and supervised by the majority race, after all, there are quite a lot of Chinese in Australia.
"I've seen a lot of this kind of thing, especially you Chinese, many people just scold a few words and then stop. Complaints won't do anything, otherwise this phone card wouldn't have been sold for so long and still existed. I remember when I was in middle school, I went to Chinatown and near the airport to sell phone cards, and this kind of phone card was very profitable. Luna said with some embarrassment, her restrained appearance not at all as big as usual.
Wang Hao never thought of getting angry at others, after all, he was just careless, he casually took an international long-distance card in 711 and left, without a detailed understanding of the tariff, and deserved it. He was very envious of Luna, who started to make his own money in middle school, and he was still studying hard in school at that time!
"Or, you can use my mobile phone to call first, the phone bill in my mobile phone is very sufficient, and I used my credit card points to redeem huàn."
Luna took out her mobile phone from her jeans pocket and was about to hand it to Wang Hao, she looked at her Samsung mobile phone and said with a smile: "Take it and use it, you can just change the card another day." ”
Hurriedly waved his hand and politely refused: "No, no, the wired phone here can also make international calls, I'll just wait in the room." Thank you for your kindness. He barely managed to squeeze out a smile, and he wasn't in a good mood right now.
After finally dialing his mother's phone, Wang Hao was a little nervous, and he heard a voice: "Hey? Who are you looking for? Liu Ping didn't know the landline phone of the ranch, so her voice was a little surprised and a little confused.
"Mom, it's me, Wang Hao. This is the phone number I gave you from the ranch, can you answer the phone right now? After hearing the familiar voice, he finally smiled. is so far away from home, and he is really unfilial, which makes his family so worried.
After the sharp sound of a chair rubbing the ground came from the other end of the phone, Liu Ping said quickly: "Do you still know how to call home?" Your dad is ready to go to Australia to find you, so adult, he doesn't know how to save us snacks, what to play missing! If you haven't called back to report your safety for so long, are you ready to kill us in a hurry? How can there be so many things, call me twice a week in the future, otherwise I won't be able to spare you! ”
After a crackling training, Liu Ping finally stopped. But Wang Hao found a familiar feeling, he was really uncomfortable not being trained for a few days, he laughed hehehe.
"It's too much for you to still have a smile on your face. Your dad is in a hurry, and we both have visas ready, so I'm afraid something will happen to you. I don't know anyone over there, who will help you if something happens! Liu Ping's tone softened, she was really scared.
Hearing the eagerness and care in her tone, Wang Hao's heart was warm and comfortable. But at the same time, he blamed himself for letting his parents worry so much in vain. "Mom, it's me who is not good, I am so busy that I forget about it. Are you and your dad all right? Be calm and don't get too excited. I'm doing well here, the ranch is on the right track, and I have my first income! ”
"That's good, don't ask for a lot of money, just don't lose money. Do you take good care of yourself and eat well? I'm worried that you won't be able to eat what you eat over there, and it's disgusting to see those Australians eating snakes raw on TV. ”
The deep concern reached Wang Hao's heart through the phone, and he felt very happy.
"Mom, since your visas have been completed, let's take advantage of the National Day to travel to Australia! I'll reimburse you for the airfare, and by the way, I've taken my private jet driver's license, so I might be able to take you to the skies. Haven't you always wanted to see the ranch? Seven days after the National Day, you guys will come. ”
Come and see the Great Juggernaut
