Chapter 689 688. Driver Discrimination (25)
Looking at Da Ao and Godzilla, the bald driver asked Li Du with a dry smile, "Brother, the three friends you mentioned are these three, right?"
Li Du nodded and said, "Yes, it's them."
Seeing that the bald driver had a bad expression, he thought he was intimidated by Da Ao's appearance and Godzilla's body, so he explained: "Don't be afraid, my fellows have very good tempers."
The bald driver took out the five hundred yuan he had just accepted and handed it to him, saying, "Sorry, brother, I won't do this business."
Li Du said: "Why? Don't worry, these two are my employees, I know how they are..."
"If you don't pull it, you won't pull it, you are nagging, no," the bald driver interrupted him impatiently, but soon became gentle again, "No, I mean I really can't do this job. "
Li Du asked: "Why? Why did you say you couldn't do it after accepting the money?"
The bald driver said, "I thought you were the only one. You see, with so many of you and so much luggage, I lost a lot of 500 yuan."
Li Du said: "It doesn't matter, I will increase the price for you, how much are four people and these boxes?"
The bald driver pondered for a while and said, "It costs two thousand yuan."
A journey of 280 kilometers costs 2,000 yuan. Li Du felt that this price was a bit too much, and said, "Isn't 2,000 yuan too expensive? 1,500 yuan?"
The bald driver shook his head and said, "No, no, no, it must be two thousand yuan."
This amount of money is still a small amount of money to Li Du, so he didn't bother to say much, and said, "Okay, two thousand yuan, let's go."
Hearing what he said, the bald driver was taken aback, and said, "Ah? Don't you think it's expensive?"
Li Du said: "If it is more expensive, it will be more expensive. I am in a hurry to go home."
The bald driver showed a troubled expression and said, "Brother, the price of two thousand yuan is indeed quite high. I suggest you change to another car."
By this time, Li Du had already sensed that something was wrong. The other party was happy to do his own business, but now after seeing Godzilla and Da Ao, he tried every means to refuse. There was obviously something wrong with it.
He didn't accept the five hundred yuan, but leaned on the co-pilot seat and said slowly: "What's going on, buddy, give me a clear explanation."
The bald driver looked at Hans, Da Ao, and Godzilla outside, and said with a wry smile: "I don't have much to say, I just don't want to deal with foreign devils, so I don't want to take your job."
Now that he said so, Li Du couldn't force him.
He took back the five hundred yuan and got out of the car. Hans asked, "What's wrong?"
Li Du explained the matter again, Da Ao was not happy, and said: "This is racial discrimination. In the United States, if drivers refuse to carry passengers because of their race, they can be sent to court!"
Hans nodded and said, "Yes, racial discrimination, and discrimination against three races, whites, blacks and Mexicans."
Li Du said with a smile: "But I think this is quite good. Let you Americans discriminate against us Chinese. How about it? Doesn't the taste of discrimination feel good?"
This car didn't pick up jobs, so he went to find another one.
There are usually taxis at the airport, and this kind of car is too small for the size of Ooku and Godzilla.
While Li Du was strolling, a Honda CRV drove up to him, and the driver asked, "Dude, where are you looking for a car?"
Looking at the space of the CRV, Li Du felt that the car was quite reliable, so he said, "Yes, how much is it if I want to go to Qimeng County?"
The driver said, "Five hundred yuan."
"The four of us and some luggage." Li Du added, he had to clarify the number of people this time.
The driver said: "Then it will be more expensive, depending on your vision, six hundred yuan."
Li Du made an estimate and said, "Six hundred yuan is not expensive, but your car may not have enough space. Would you like to find me a car? I will give you all six hundred yuan."
Hearing what he said, the driver was happy and said cheerfully, "Okay."
Soon, another white Honda CRV drove over, so there was absolutely enough space for the two cars.
Li Du led them forward, the driver rolled down the window and said, "Brother, let me explain the situation to you first, you have to pay first, the ugly words are up front, I'm afraid you won't admit it..."
"No problem." Li Du agreed without waiting for him to finish speaking.
When the car drove up to Hans and the others, the driver was taken aback and asked, "There are four of you, and the other three are these three? Foreigners?"
Li Du nodded and said, "Yes, American friend."
The driver didn't say a word, kicked the accelerator and ran away.
Li Du was depressed, what the hell is going on?
Hans stared blankly at the car going away, and said angrily, "Racism, this is racism!"
Both cars ran away, so Li Du had no choice but to continue looking for another car. This time he found a minibus and explained the situation directly: four people, three Americans, went to Qimeng County.
The driver pondered for a while and said, "It costs two thousand yuan, can it work?"
Li Du nodded and said, "Okay, I'll give you the money first? But I have to explain, among the four people, three are Americans, one white, one black and one Mexican."
The driver joked, "Ok, it doesn't matter if you're American or Mexican, just don't be an alien."
Li Du said: "Then I'll pay you first?"
The driver said: "Pay half of the deposit, and pay the other half when you get to the place."
Li Du sighed: "Your business is fair. I found a Buick just now, and the driver wanted me 2,000 yuan, and he didn't pull it anymore."
The middle-aged driver smiled. He seemed to want to say something, but he opened his mouth and shook his head, but said nothing.
This time everything went smoothly, the box was moved up, and the four of them got into the car, which was spacious.
Hans hadn't calmed down in the car, and kept muttering things like 'racism, too unfriendly, and making international friends sad'.
The driver, unable to understand his Arizona accent, asked, "This American gentleman seems very dissatisfied. Is there a problem?"
Li Du said: "He wasn't talking about you, he was talking about the front. Several cars in front agreed to pull us, but after seeing them, they refused again. My friend thought it was racial discrimination."
The driver stepped on the accelerator, and the car drove forward. He hesitated for a while, and after the car drove out of the airport, he said: "Tell your friends, this is not racial discrimination, it is because of their race, but you will save yourself trouble." , was not deceived."
"What's the meaning?"
The driver said: "Aren't the prices of those cars very cheap? And you need to pay the bill first?"
Li Du nodded and said, "Yes."
The driver sneered, and said, "These bastards! They are black cars, they specialize in defrauding outsiders. They take your money first, and then go out and leave you anywhere."
"At first, they thought you were easy to bully, so they took your job. Later, they found out that there were foreigners. They didn't dare to provoke foreigners, so they could only find reasons to shirk them."
