Looking at the black guy with a sunny smile on his face, Wang Bo stretched out his hand to shake his hand and said, "Mr. Monkdo? Ha, what a rare visitor. Are you here?"
This black guy's surname was Monkdo. He had just met him in the afternoon. He was a gas attendant at a gas station, and he was considered a direct subordinate of Station Manager Northen.
In Sunset Town, Monkdo is much more popular than Stationmaster Noson. He has a cheerful personality and likes to rap. Sometimes he will have a chat with the car owners when refueling, and he will even go to the Flaming Mountain Bar to perform.
Wang Bo also has a good impression of this young man. This good impression comes from his skin color. They are not of the same race, but to the indigenous people of New Zealand, they are all people of color.
Discrimination in New Zealand is lighter than in the United States and Europe, but inadvertently, white people still discriminate against people of color, so people of color feel better about each other.
Wang Bo read some forums and found that in the United States and Europe, white people generally discriminate against black people, and black people discriminate against yellow people. This phenomenon does not exist in New Zealand, which has fewer black people and more Maori people.
Monkdo took the coffee respectfully and said: "The weather outside is nice, sunny and windy. I'm here to visit the mayor and have a cup of coffee. Everyone knows now that the mayor's coffee is unique."
At least from the moment they met and talked, Wang Bo liked Monk Duo more, who was much more humorous and kind.
After chatting casually for a few words, Monkdo explained his purpose: "Mr. Mayor, I think you have felt that Mr. Northam's attitude towards you is not very good. Don't get me wrong, I am here to explain the reason. I hope you will Don’t have any misunderstandings.”
Wang Bodao: "What, he discriminates against people of color?"
Monkdo smiled and shook his head: "No, no, Mr. Northam is essentially a kind person. He does not discriminate against you, Mr. Mayor, but he doesn't like Sunset Town, so his attitude is bad."
"Why?"
"Perhaps you don't know that Mr. Northam used to work at a gas station in Dunedin, and his wife and children were also there. As a result, the company transferred him here a year ago, and his family was still in Dunedin. So you can imagine he wouldn't like this place."
"Also, let me tell you something from the bottom of my heart. Mr. Northam really doesn't like you very much. Mayor, your good luck makes people jealous. Do you understand? You received an endless piece of land as an inheritance, and you won 30 million. The grand prize, you have the most beautiful and kind-hearted girl in the town as your girlfriend... "
Monkdo laughed as he spoke, waved his hands and said, "I can't go on because I'm jealous of you too."
Wang Bo smiled and said, "I can think of all this, but I don't care. We have a saying in China that people who don't envy others are mediocre."
Monkdo's arrival is obviously not that simple. If he came to visit him specifically to ease his relationship with Northam, then he would be a saint.
Are there saints among black people? NO!
Sure enough, Monkdo then said: "Mayor, you must understand that Station Master Northen will not provide your request to the big shots in our branch."
Wang Bo nodded, he was ready for this.
Monkdo said: "In fact, I can also contact those big people, but if I do it, my relationship with the webmaster Noson will be over. Moreover, if our manager asks why the webmaster What do I say about not reporting the news to him and actually going through a gas guy?”
Wang Bo shrugged and said what he said made sense, and then he thought of a question: "Hey, man, wait a minute. Noson didn't notify me of my news because he wanted to prevent seagulls from entering Sunset Town, right?"
"certainly."
"Then why? I mean, he seems sure that your leader will allow seagulls to enter Sunset Town? If your leader doesn't want seagulls to come, then he can report the news."
Monkdo explained: "Yes, our managers will not prevent seagulls from entering Sunset Town. This road is destined to be the main transportation line in South Island and cannot be monopolized by any gas station. They understand this, but Northam Station I don’t want to.”
"Our gas station is very profitable. Mr. Mayor, according to the company's regulations, this kind of benefit will last for three years. Stationmaster Northen can return to Dunedin and get a higher position."
Wang Bo understood. He went over and patted Monkdo on the shoulder and said, "Go and contact your manager. I will tell him the truth, and then I will also ask, for the sake of the relationship between the townspeople and the gas station, Mr. Monkto will be in charge of the town’s gas station.”
The black guy smiled brightly and said, "Thank you, Mr. Mayor."
Wang Bo frowned: "By the way, why do I feel like we are the villains? It's like we are conspiring to harm others."
Monkdo said: "Let me be the villain. The mayor is just telling the truth for the sake of the town. In fact, we all know that if Mr. Northam stays here, he will not be able to live in harmony with the Seagulls in the future. .”
"He doesn't like it here either."
The matter was handled quickly, and two managers from Mobil New Zealand Group came to the town the next day to discuss the matter.
Mobil's senior manager obviously also valued the economic potential contained in Route 8. He said that a gas station could be added. Wang Bo refused: "It is impossible for Route 8 to be monopolized by an oil company. This is impossible."
After being rejected, the senior manager was not angry. He smiled and said, "Then we ask for priority in building the website."
The so-called right of priority in station construction means that Mobil has the right to prioritize the location and construction of new gas stations.
This is no problem, Wang Bo agreed. After all, Mobil is the first oil company to invest in the town, so logically they should also receive some preferential treatment.
After the two parties signed a contract, Seagull could enter the town, but the location was not good, ten kilometers away from the town center.
After signing the contract, Wang Bo said: "In addition, manager, I have to make a suggestion. It is best to change the station manager of our gas station. Mr. Noson hopes to be reunited with his family. He is resistant to working here. The guy on the bus went to cheer for me, but I never saw him smile.”
The manager looked at him and said, "Okay, I will take your request back, but this needs to be decided at a meeting between our personnel department and labor department, so my decision does not count."
Mobil's work efficiency was very fast. Less than a week after the incident, the station manager Noson was transferred, and the black boy Monkdo took over as the new station manager.
Wang Bo learned about the inside story and found that Mobil did this for two reasons. The first was that Northam actively requested to be transferred back to Dunedin and Seagull settled on Route 8. Mobil could not be as profitable as before.
The second is that Mobil New Zealand Branch is very concerned about the relationship with managers from various places, especially Wang Bo. They seem to have received some news and believe that he will have great energy in the future and want to maintain a good relationship with him.
He asked Battier for these information. He felt that Mobil might have done this for the sake of Battier, but Battier said that was not the case... (.)
