Chapter 25: Chapter 25
In 1906, the turmoil caused by the dreadnought ended in various countries, and ordinary people in various countries are still running for life.
In the French port city of Le Havre, Brumanck got up early in the morning to prepare beans and fodder for the two horses in the stable. Brumank is a freight carriage driver. He used to drive horse-drawn carriages for others to make money. Later, relying on his usual frugal accumulation and the use of relatives, he bought a carriage to make money for himself. I usually rely on transporting goods to the wharf for a living, and occasionally helping other merchants transport goods, and my life is pretty good. He also takes care of the two horses that support his family, so every morning, Brumanke gets up and fills the two horses with soy and hay, and then he eats by himself.
Today, after Brumank added feed to the stable, he saw his wife making breakfast and a pair of children playing in the yard. A sense of satisfaction rose in his heart. Brumank is quite satisfied with his current life. He has his own business and family. He can go out for two drinks and chat with his friends every week. What else is unsatisfactory?
After having breakfast, Brumank checked the carriage carefully, then set up his horse and drove towards the pier. Brumank, who drove the carriage, thought about what his wife told him in the morning.
It's time for my son Frank to go to school. It takes a lot of money to go to a good school. It seems that I need to pick up more goods to meet the needs of the family, Brumank thought secretly in his heart.
While Blumank was thinking about his own thoughts, a roar of a car came from behind, and Blumank leaned the carriage to the side of the road. Blumank knows about cars. Now there are dozens of cars in the city, all of which are the cars of the rich and capitalists. Jean Victor, the owner of the dock who works by himself, also owns a Renault car. He usually treasures it very much and never let the workers touch it.
The car drove over from the side of Brumanc. Brumanc was taken aback when he saw the cars in the past. Brumanc had seen most of the cars in Le Havre, but he had never seen such a weird car. The first half is the same as a normal car, and the back is a cargo compartment similar to your own carriage. Brumank swears that he is absolutely right, it is a cargo compartment. Which rich man has special hobbies and likes to sit in the cargo compartment? Blumank patted out his thoughts, working to make money is what he cares about.
Brumank came to the dock and saw the strange car that had caused him to think about it and stopped in the cargo area. The stevedores around were watching the excitement, and Brumank stopped the carriage and walked over. Seeing that his friend Wilgard, the stevedore worker, was also in the crowd, Brumank squeezed into the crowd and patted Wilgard on the shoulder and asked.
"How is this going."
"Mr. Jean Victor bought this to deliver the goods."
When I heard my friend's words, Brumank was a little unbelievable. The car was used to transport such an expensive thing. This strange-looking car doesn't seem expensive at all, but it costs hundreds of pounds to deliver it to you. It's incredible. At this moment, Blumank heard the conversation from the crowd in front of him.
A stevedore named Andrew Te was talking excitedly to the crowd around him. "Brockley drove this truck today. I was just called a truck. I was surprised when I came over. I said,'Did Mr. Jean Victor change his car?' Brockley replied to me,'Nothing. It's used to transport goods." Then it must not be cheap." Brockley said. "It's not too expensive and only cost the boss 185 pounds." I was surprised at the time. This car is too cheap and rich. Buy one too, I don't think the girls will refuse the invitation of a rich man."
A group of people roared with laughter at the last witticism. Someone yelled: "Andrew, you will never save less than 185 pounds, you just die of this heart." Obviously this is a worker who knows Andrew very well, and it attracts everyone to laugh at Andrew. At this time, the siren of the start of construction sounded, and the crowd dispersed and started a new day of work.
Blumank was anxious when he heard the workers' conversation, and now he earns everything he owns in his carriage. If you don't need a carriage in the future, how can your family survive? When working at work, Brumank calculated the efficiency of this weird car to pull goods in his heart, but he did not dare to face it. The load was 1.5 times his own and the speed was twice that of his own wagon, if it weren't for this car. The fault was repaired once in the middle, and the carriage transportation by myself would be unsightly.
After work, everyone gathered around the truck and talked about it. "He runs so fast and has a lot of load. If it weren't for a few pieces of glass when transporting, it can be said to be a perfect masterpiece." The driver Brockley commented when he finished transporting the goods for a day, "Hey, Brockley You won't drive this car in the future, right." A clever worker stepped forward and asked Brockley, "No, the boss mainly wants to try the performance of this car." The clever worker stepped forward to Brockley. Lee whispered. "You will recommend me to be a truck driver to Mr. Jean Victor in the future. How about I invite you to drink." Brockley answered with a little thought. "Please at least three times." "No problem." Another secret transaction was reached.
Back home in the evening, Brumank returned home with a worried look. UU reading www.uukanshu.com his wife asked what was going on, and Brumank told his wife what had happened during the day. "Then what to do with Blumank, if there is no income, this family will not be able to sustain." The wife who heard her husband said worriedly, Blumank thought for a while and said with determination. "While the news has not spread, and the price of the carriage has not yet fallen, I sold the carriage to Rouen next door, and mortgaged the house to buy a truck." When the wife heard that the house was to be mortgaged, she cried sadly. , Brumank stepped forward to comfort his wife. "Don't worry, I will make more money with this truck and we can have a better house."
Just do it. The next day, Blumank found Volkswagen's sales store in Le Havre, "How do I sell the truck." Blumanck asked the Volkswagen employee at the front desk, and a salesperson stepped forward and asked. "Mister wants to buy a truck."
"Yes, I don't know how you sell it?" Brumank asked. Although he knew it, he still wanted to make sure.
"We can train you for one week for a free one for £185, mainly learning driving and maintenance."
Blumank thought for a while and said, "Can I pay the deposit in advance? I won't be able to come over and pick up the car in a week."
"no problem."
Under the leadership of Volkswagen's sales staff, Brumanke signed the pre-order contract. When he got home, he drove his carriage to Rouen, but fortunately, the news had not yet come. Blumank sold his carriage and two packhorses at the market price. When he thought of the horses he cared for was sold, Blumank's heart also went back and forth. When he returned home and mortgaged his house to the bank, Brumanke, who brought enough money, drove a Volkswagen van and returned home a week later. Neighbors were also amazed at Brumanke's courage.
