Looking at Big Quinn and Godzilla, the bald driver laughed dryly and asked Li Du, "Brother, are these the three friends you were talking about?"
Li Du nodded. "Yes, those are them."
Li Du saw that the bald driver did not look good and thought that he was frightened by Big Quinn's appearance and Godzilla's physique. He explained, "Don't be afraid, my buddies have good tempers."
The bald driver took out the 500 dollars he had just received and handed it to him. "Sorry, brother, I'm not doing this business."
Li Du said, "Why? Don't worry, these two are my employees. I know them very well — "
"No means no. You're nagging, ahem, no," the bald driver interrupted him impatiently, but he soon became gentle again and said, "No, I mean, I really can't do this job."
Li Du asked, "Why? You've already accepted the money, so why are you saying that you can't do it? "
The bald driver said, "I thought you were alone. Look, there are so many of you and so much luggage. It's too much for me to lose 500 dollars."
Li Du said, "It's okay, I'll increase the price. How much for four people and these luggage?"
The bald driver pondered for a while and said, "This will cost 2,000 dollars."
Li Du felt that the price was a little too much for a 280-kilometer journey. "Isn't 2,000 dollars too expensive? 1,500 dollars? "
The bald driver shook his head. "No, no, it has to be 2,000 dollars."
This amount of money was also a small amount for Li Du. He was too lazy to argue and said, "Alright, 2,000 dollars. Let's go."
Hearing this, the bald driver was stunned and said, "Ah? You don't think it's too expensive? "
Li Du said, "It's fine if it's expensive. I'm in a hurry to get home."
The bald driver showed a troubled expression and said, "Brother, 2,000 dollars is indeed quite high. I suggest you get a new car."
At this time, Li Du had already sensed that something was wrong. The other party had been very happy to do business with him, but after seeing Godzilla and Big Quinn, they had tried every possible way to reject him. There was clearly something wrong.
He didn't take the 500 yuan. Instead, he leaned on the passenger seat and said slowly, "What's going on, buddy? Give me a clear explanation."
The bald driver looked at Hans, Big Quinn, and Godzilla and smiled bitterly. "There's nothing much to say. I just don't want to deal with foreign devils, so I don't want to take your job."
Since she said so, Li Du could not force her.
He took back the 500 dollars and got out of the car. Hans asked, "What's wrong?"
After Li Du explained the situation, Big Quinn was unhappy and said, "This is racial discrimination. In the United States, if a driver refuses to pick up a passenger because of race, they can be sent to court!"
Hans nodded. "Yes, racial discrimination, and discrimination against three different races: white, black, and Mexican."
Li Du chuckled and said, "But I think this is pretty good. You Americans are discriminating against us Chinese. How is it? It doesn't feel good to be discriminated against, right?"
If this car didn't accept work, he would find another one.
The airport was usually served by taxis, which were too small for the size of Big Quinn and Godzilla.
As Li Du strolled around, a Honda CRV stopped in front of him. The driver asked, "Brother, looking for a car?"
Looking at the space of the CRV, Li Du felt that this car was quite reliable. He said, "Yes, I want to go to Qi Meng County. How much?"
The driver said, "500 dollars."
"Four of us and some luggage," Li Du added. This time, he had to be clear about the number of people.
The driver said, "Then it'll be more expensive. Seeing that you like it, 600 dollars."
Li Du estimated and said, "600 dollars is not expensive, but this car of yours might not have enough space. Why don't you find another car for me? I'll pay 600 dollars for both. "
Hearing what he said, the driver was happy and said happily, "Okay."
Soon, another white Honda CRV drove over. This way, there would definitely be enough space for two cars.
Li Du brought them forward. The driver rolled down the window and said, "Brother, I'll tell you the situation first. You have to pay first. I'll say the ugly words first. I'm afraid you won't pay when we get there —"
"No problem." Li Du did not wait for him to finish and agreed.
The car stopped in front of Hans and the others. The driver was stunned and asked, "There are four of you. The other three, are they these three? Foreigners? "
Li Du nodded and said, "Yes, American friends."
The driver did not say anything else. He stepped on the accelerator and sped away.
Li Du was depressed. What the f * ck is going on?
Hans stared blankly at the car in the distance and said angrily, "Racial discrimination, this is racial discrimination!"
With both cars gone, Li Du had to continue looking for another car. This time, he found a minibus and explained the situation: four people, three Americans, going to Qi Meng County.
The driver thought for a while and said, "That'll cost 2,000 dollars. Is that okay?"
Li Du nodded and said, "Okay, I'll pay you first? But I have to say, four people, three Americans, one white, one black, and one Mexican. "
The driver joked, "Sure, it doesn't matter if they're Americans or Mexicans, as long as they're not aliens."
Li Du said, "Then I'll pay you first?"
The driver said, "Pay half the deposit and pay the other half when we reach the destination."
Li Du sighed and said, "You're a fair deal. I found a Buick just now, but the driver also charged me 2,000 dollars, and he didn't want to take me anymore."
The middle-aged driver smiled and looked like he wanted to say something, but he opened his mouth and shook his head, not saying anything.
This time, everything went smoothly. The four of them got on the spacious car after carrying the boxes.
Hans was still angry when he got on the car. He kept muttering things like "racial discrimination, too unfriendly, making our international friends sad" and so on.
The driver could not understand his Arizona English, so he asked, "This American gentleman seems to be very unhappy. Is there a problem?"
Li Du said, "He's not talking about you, he's talking about the car in front. A few cars in front had promised to take us, but after seeing them, they refused. My friend thinks this is racial discrimination."
The driver stepped on the accelerator and the car moved forward. He hesitated for a while and said after the car had driven out of the airport, "Tell your friend that this is not racial discrimination. It's because of their race. In fact, you have less trouble and you won't be cheated."
"What do you mean?"
The driver said, "Are those cars very cheap? And they want you to pay first? "
Li Du nodded and said, "Yes."
The driver sneered and said, "These f * cking things! They're unlicensed cars that specialize in cheating foreigners. They take your money first, then go out and find a place to drop you off.
"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 excuses to avoid the job.
