Chapter 538 526. Mobil's Choice (25)
Looking at the black boy with a sunny smile on his face, Wang Bo reached out to shake hands with him, and said, "Mr. Monkdo? Ha, you are really rare. May I ask when you are here?"
This black guy's surname is Monkdo. He just met him this afternoon. The other party is a gas station operator who is directly subordinate to the station master Nuo Sen.
In Sunset Town, Monkdo is much more popular than the stationmaster Northon. He has a cheerful personality and likes to rap. Sometimes he will have two sessions with car owners when he is refueling, and he will even go to the Flame Mountain Bar to perform.
Wang Bo also has a good impression of this young man. This good impression comes from the color of his skin. They are not of the same race, but for the aborigines in New Zealand, they all belong to the colored race.
New Zealand is less discriminatory than 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. In the United States and Europe, whites generally discriminate against blacks, and blacks discriminate against yellows. This phenomenon does not exist in New Zealand, where there are fewer blacks and more Maori.
Monkdo took the coffee respectfully, and said, "The weather outside is nice and sunny. I'm here to visit Mr. Mayor and grab a cup of coffee. Now everyone knows that the mayor's coffee is unique."
At least from meeting and talking, Wang Bo liked Monkdo more, he was more humorous and kind.
After chatting casually for a few words, Monkdo explained the purpose of coming: "Mr. Mayor, I think you feel that Mr. Nuo Sen's attitude towards you is not very good. Don't get me wrong, I am here to explain the reason. Make no mistake."
Wang Bodao: "Why, he discriminates against people of color?"
Monk smiled and shook his head: "No, no, Mr. Northon is a kind person in essence. He doesn't discriminate against you, Mr. Mayor, but he doesn't like Sunset Town, so his attitude is not good."
"Why?"
"Maybe you don't know, Mr. Northam used to work at a gas station in Dunedin, where his wife and children were also there. As a result, the company transferred him a year ago, and his family was still in Dunedin. So as you can imagine, he wouldn't like the place."
"Also, let me tell you from the bottom of my heart, Mr. Northam really doesn't like you very much, mayor, your good luck makes people jealous, understand? You got a boundless piece of land as an inheritance, and you won 30 million You have the most beautiful and kindest girl in the town as your girlfriend..."
Speaking of which Monk laughed, he 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 these things, but I don't care. We have a saying in China, which is called mediocrity if you don't attract envy."
Monkdo's arrival was obviously not that simple, if he came to visit him specifically to ease his relationship with Northon, then this would be a saint.
Are there saints among black people? NO!
Sure enough, Monkdo then said: "Mayor, you must understand that the station master Northen will not provide your request to the big shots in our branch."
Wang Bo nodded, he was prepared for this.
Monkdo said: "Actually, I can also contact those big people, but if I do it, then my relationship with the stationmaster Northon will be over. And, if our manager asks at that time, why the stationmaster Instead of reporting the news to him and actually passing through a fueler, what am I supposed to say?"
Wang Bo shrugged his shoulders to show that what he said made sense, and then he thought of a question: "Hey, buddy, wait a minute. The reason why Nuo Sen didn't notify me is to prevent seagulls from entering Sunset Town, right?"
"certainly."
"Then why? I mean, he seems sure that your leader will allow Seagull to enter Sunset Town? If your leader doesn't want Seagull to come, then he can report the news."
Monkdo explained: "Yes, our manager will not prevent seagulls from entering Sunset Town. This road is destined to be the main traffic line in the South Island and cannot be monopolized by any gas station. They understand this truth, but Northam Station I don't want to."
"Our gas station is very profitable, Mr. Mayor, according to the company's regulations, this benefit will last for three years, and the Northam station manager can return to Dunedin to obtain a higher position."
Wang Bo understood. He patted Monkdo on the shoulder and said, "Go and contact your manager, I will tell him the truth, and then I will ask, for the sake of the relationship between the townspeople and the gas station, Mr. Monkdo will be in charge of the gas station in the town."
The black guy smiled brightly and said, "Thank you, Mr. Mayor."
Wang Bo frowned: "By the way, why do I feel like we are big villains? It's like we're plotting to kill someone."
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. Northon 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 the Mobil New Zealand Group came to the town the next day to discuss the matter.
The senior manager of Mobil obviously also valued the economic potential contained in Route 8. He said that a gas station could be added, but Wang Bo refused: "It is impossible for Route 8 to be monopolized by an oil company. This is impossible."
Being rejected, the senior manager was not angry, he smiled and said: "Then we ask for the priority right to build a website."
The so-called priority right to build a station means that Mobil has the right to choose the location and construction of a new gas station first.
This is no problem, Wang Bo promised, after all, Mobil is the first oil company to invest in the town, and they should also receive some preferential treatment.
The two parties signed a contract, Seagull can enter the town, but the location is 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. Nuo Sen hopes to reunite with his family. He has resistance to working here. The people on board went to refuel, and I never saw him smile."
The manager looked at him and said, "Okay, I will take your request back, but this requires a meeting between our personnel department and the labor department to decide, and I don't count."
The work efficiency of Mobil was very fast. Less than a week after the incident ended, the stationmaster of Northon was transferred away, and the black boy Monkdo became the new stationmaster.
Wang Bo got to know the inside story. There are two reasons why Mobil did this. The first is that Nordson voluntarily asked to be transferred back to Dunedin, and Seagull entered Route 8. Mobil could not be as profitable as before.
The second is that the Mobil New Zealand Branch is very concerned about the relationship with managers in various places, especially Wang Bo. They seem to have received some news that he will have great energy in the future and want to maintain a good relationship with him.
He asked Battier about these news, he felt that Mobil might do this for Battier's face, but Battier said that was not the case...
