Romanian Eagle

Chapter 25 Trucks

In 1906, it ended in the riots caused by the dreadnoughts in various countries, and ordinary people in various countries were still running around for their lives.

In the French port city of Le Havre, Brumanck got up early in the morning to prepare bean fodder and hay for the two horses in the stable. Brumanke was a freight carriage driver. He used to drive carriages for others to earn money. Later, he relied on his usual savings and thrift and borrowed money from relatives to buy a carriage to earn money for himself. He usually makes a living by transporting goods to the wharf, and occasionally helps other merchants to transport goods, and his life is not bad. He also takes good care of the two horses who support his family, so every morning, Brumanke gets up to fill the two horses with bean fodder and hay, and then eats by himself.

Today, after Brumanke finished feeding the stables, he saw his wife making breakfast and a pair of children playing in the yard, and a sense of satisfaction rose in his heart. Brumank is quite satisfied with his current life, with his own career and family, and can go out for two drinks every week, chat with his friends and spank, what else is there to be dissatisfied with.

After Brumanck finished his breakfast, he checked the carriage carefully, put on the horse and drove to the pier. Brumanck, who was driving the carriage, thought about what his wife had told him this morning.

It's time for his son, Frank, to go to school, and it takes a lot of money to get into a good school. It seems that he needs to pick up more goods in order to meet the needs of his family, Brumanke thought secretly in his heart.

While Brumanck was thinking about his own thoughts, a roar of a car came from behind, and Brumanck leaned the carriage to the side of the road. As you know about the car Bluemank, there are dozens of cars in town right now, all of them owned by the rich and the capitalists. The owner of the terminal, Jean Victor, who works by himself, also has a Renault car, which is usually very precious and never lets the workers touch it.

The car drove over from the side of Brumanck. Brumanck was stunned when he saw the car in the past. Brumanck had seen most of the cars in Le Havre, but he had never seen such a strange car. The first half is the same as a normal car, and at the back is a cargo compartment that is similar to your own carriage. Brumanke dared to swear that he was absolutely right, it was a cargo compartment. Which rich man has a special hobby and likes to sit in the cargo compartment? Brumanke took pictures of his cranky thoughts, and working and earning money is what he cares about.

Brummink came to the dock and saw the strange car that caught his imagination parked in the cargo area. The stevedores all around watched the fun, and Brumanke parked the carriage and walked over. Seeing that his friend stevedore Wilgard was also in the crowd, Brumanke squeezed into the crowd and patted Wilgard on the shoulder and asked.

"How is this going."

"It was bought by Mr. Jean Victor to carry the goods."

Hearing his friend's words, Brumanke was a little unbelievable, a car as expensive as a car was used for transportation. It's unbelievable to have this odd-looking car that doesn't look expensive at all, but it also costs hundreds of pounds to have it delivered. At this time Brumank heard the conversation from the crowd ahead.

A stevedore named Andrewt was talking to the crowd around him. "Today Brockley was driving this van, that's right, it was called a van, and I was surprised that it came. Just said, 'Did Mr. Jean Victor change his car.' Brockley answered me, 'No this is It's used to transport goods.''Then it must not be cheap,' said Brockley, 'and it's not too expensive. It only cost the boss £185.' I was surprised at the time, this car is so cheap and rich Buy one too, I don't think girls would turn down an invitation from a rich man."

The group burst into laughter at this final one-liner. Someone shouted: "Andrewt, you can never save enough 185 pounds, you should die." Obviously this was a shout from a worker who knew Andrewt very well, and everyone laughed at Andrewt. At this time, the whistle of the start of work sounded,

The crowd dispersed to start a new day's work.

Blumank was secretly anxious when he heard the conversation of the workers, and now everything he has is earned by his own carriage. If there is no carriage for transportation in the future, how can my family survive? While working, Brumanke calculated the efficiency of this strange car in his mind, and the result was that he dared not face it. The load was 1.5 times his own, and the speed was twice that of his own carriage. If it weren't for this car The intermediate failure is repaired once, and the transportation by your own carriage will be ugly.

After work, everyone gathered around the truck and talked a lot. "He runs really fast, and he has a lot of load. If it weren't for a few broken pieces of glass, it would be a perfect masterpiece." Driver Brockley commented after transporting a day's worth of goods, "Hey, Brockley You won't drive this car in the future." A clever worker stepped forward and asked Brockley, "No, the boss mainly wants to test the performance of this car." The clever worker stepped forward to Brockley Li said quietly. "You recommend me to Mr. Jean Victor to be a truck driver in the future. How about I invite you to drink." Brockley replied after thinking a little. "At least three times." "No problem." Another secret deal was struck.

When he returned home in the evening, Brumanke returned home with a worried face. When his wife asked what was going on, Brumanke told his wife what happened during the day. "Then what should we do with Brumax, if there is no income, the family will not be able to maintain it." Hearing the husband's remarks, the wife said worriedly, and Brumax thought for a while and said it with determination. "Before the news spreads and the price of the carriage has not fallen, I will sell the carriage to Rouen next door, and then mortgage the house to buy a truck." The wife cried out of sadness when she heard that she was going to mortgage the house. , Brumanke stepped forward to comfort his wife. "Don't worry, I'll make more money with this van and we'll have a better house."

The next day, Brumanck found the Volkswagen sales store in Le Havre, "How do you sell the truck." Brumanck asked the Volkswagen employee at the front desk, and a salesperson stepped forward and asked. "Sir wants to buy a truck."

"Yes, I don't know how you sell it?" Brumanke asked, although he knew it, he still wanted to make sure.

"For £185, we can train you for a week for free, mainly learning to drive and maintain."

Brummink thought for a moment and said, "Can I make a deposit first? I won't be able to come and pick up the car in a week."

"no problem."

Bluemank, led by Volkswagen salespeople, signed the pre-order contract. When I got home, I drove my carriage to Rouen. Fortunately, the news has not yet come. Brumank sold his carriage and two pack horses at the market price. Thinking of the horses he took care of had been sold, Brumank also had a lot of back and forth in his heart. Back home and mortgaged the house to the bank, Brumanck, with enough money, drove a Volkswagen van back home a week later. Neighbors also talked a lot and were surprised by Bluemank's boldness.
