Act Forty-Six: Ender's Memories [Asking for Recommendation Votes!]
After talking about cooperation, Andreas smiled.
"Brother Doug, when I heard that someone had bought Smith Printing & Dyeing, I was wondering who had a bad head. while
When you came to invite me to let Smith pay off the debt, I thought you were a little fool, and I thought you must have been fooled by that guy Smith to buy his printing and dyeing factory.
At that time, I could never have imagined that you would be able to get the printing and dyeing factory to start producing new products so quickly, so that it has new possibilities. ”
Andreas sighed.
After the negotiation, Doug also said politely and humbly, "Maybe I'm lucky." Although when I bought the printing and dyeing factory, I already had a full set of plans. But the boots do not fall to the ground, where is the knowledge of whether there are pits in the ground.
The difficulties that were expected to arise did not arise with the help of many people.
Just like you can't expect me to work with you so soon, dude, I can't expect it either. ”
Andreas stared at Doug for a while, half questioning, half sighing, and said, "Brother Doug, you have been in the United States since you were born, right? I am different from you, I was born in Germany, I was born in a small town. Hunger never left me as long as I can remember.
The days of poverty have never left my side. When my parents finally saved enough money to get on the immigration ship, we fantasized that we would be able to live a new life across the Doug Ocean when we arrived in the United States.
But who would have thought that on the migrant ship there would be an outbreak of the plague.
Any passenger or crew member, who looks like they have the slightest sign of illness, is thrown overboard.
Unfortunately, my father and mother were thrown into the sea.
Have you ever seen your loved ones who were still with you just now, struggling in the sea the next moment, pale and floating on a sponge, and finally sinking to the surface?
I've seen it.
I've talked about it twice.
I was weak and helpless, and from then on, I decided to take control of my own destiny.
I remember a long, long time later, in the endless darkness of the night, I finally saw the light from the lighthouse on the shore.
It's the lighthouse in the Port of New Haven.
I was about your age at the time, and I used my fists, my own blood, to fight for a job in the Port of New Haven.
However...... I found that the harder I tried, the poorer I became. The harder I worked, the farther away I was from the life I wanted to live.
I've found that selling your strength will never lead to a good life!
So, I opened my first grocery store in the port.
Since then, my life has only gotten better.
It's so good that I might even miss my father and mother as much as I do now.
Doug Claydon, I think you're a lot like me there.
Some people say that no matter how rich I am, I can only grow old alone with the frame of my relatives.
But what is loneliness?
What do they know?"
"I didn't expect you to have such a past. I...... I don't even know if I don't remember what my loved ones look like, I'm not sure if they're still alive, if they're alive, if I'm standing in front of them one day, they'll know me.
However, I only think about it occasionally.
Memories are a luxury.
There is time for memories and assumptions, so why not look less at the present and more at the future?
Brother Ander, look at you now.
If you had stayed in Germany, would you have lived the life you have now?
I don't think so.
We are all on the road of hard work, and there will always be people left behind and lose their lives, right?
Look forward.
Let's look forward. ”
Doug repeated in an accentuated tone.
"Haha! You're right!" Andreas laughed loudly, "Brother Doug, do you want to stay for dinner?"
"Not first. I also need to go to Mr. Drake to talk about cooperation. I'm going to sell my Monopoly all over the world, but first all of New Haven, isn't it?" Doug put on his hat and said goodbye to Andreas standing in the doorway, "Goodbye." ”
In just a few days, although Doug is tired from running around every day, he has a full supply of nutrients, and his height has become a lot taller.
Originally only about one meter four tall, now close to five feet.
And he was originally unknown, but now walking on the street, many people can already recognize him.
Drake, as he called him, was also a businessman, and his business was about the same size as Andreas, with a total of four stores.
However, unlike Andreas's continuous infiltration into the city of New Haven, his four stores are all in the port of New Haven.
