Chapter 463: Varna Shipyard (Part II)
While Deputy Mayor Dolbo was urging the construction, a train pulled into Varna station.
Looking at the scene at the station, the little girl sitting on the train asked curiously, "Dad, will you work here in the future?" ”
The one who was questioned by the little girl was Berne, a former employee of the William Royal Shipyard, and it was his daughter Evelyn who spoke to him. And sitting with him is the whole family, from the eldest son to the youngest daughter, plus him and his wife.
"That's right, that's where Dad will work in the future."
Looking at this strange city, Bern answered his daughter's question with some mixed emotions.
Leaving Wilhelmshaven, where you have lived for many years, and coming to a city that you have never heard of before, you will inevitably sigh for a while.
In fact, the relocation of the Royal Shipyard was going faster than he expected. Originally, he thought that it would take a year to start, but he did not expect that after the inspection of the Romanian Navy, the progress was immediately accelerated.
Since July, they have been approached one by one to talk to the backbone of the shipyard. It is nothing more than whether they are willing to go to Romania to work, and the vast majority of people choose to be willing when faced with this problem. Whoever makes the current unemployment rate in Germany so high, it is not easy to get a stable job, and who wants to look for Germany again. And for Bern, who has to support his family, nothing is more important than his own family. So after consulting them, the Romanian side prepared this train specifically for them.
"Isn't it a long time since I saw Rhona, and when she left, she said that they were in a place called Odessa in Romania, far away from us?"
Faced with his daughter's inquiry, Bern replied: "It's not too far, it's the distance from Wilhelmshaven to Berlin." ”
"Far to Berlin?"
Hearing that his daughter had no concept of distance, Bern touched her hair and replied with a smile: "It's not too far." ”
"How far is that?"
"It's half a day by train."
And with the arrival of these shipyard backbones, in addition to their families, there is also a batch of equipment loaded. If they want them, they need to be responsible for debugging these equipment, and who makes these equipment is the most familiar to them.
"It's here, let's get out of the car."
A middle-level manager who was in charge of leading the team came to their carriage and urged everyone loudly.
The Bern family, like the others, took up their own salute and followed everyone off the train.
For a while, a crowd of black pressure immediately poured down on the platform, all of whom were the former employees of the Royal Shipyard and their families, and everyone was talking to each other. And Bern, in order to prevent his children from getting lost, said to them loudly: "Follow me." ”
At this time, a middle-aged man wearing glasses stood on a high platform made of boxes and said with an iron horn: "Everyone has an idea, everyone has an idea." ”
Seeing that someone was about to speak, the crowd talked a lot quieter. The middle-aged man was satisfied with the current situation, so he continued: "I am Milik, the deputy director of the Varna shipyard, and I am very welcome to everyone who comes to work in Varna. At present, the shipyard has prepared the vehicles outside, and everyone lined up to go out in turn. Then we will assign you a place to live, and please rest assured that we will allocate a house according to the size of the family. ”
With a few words from Deputy Director Milik, the crowd immediately automatically lined up in order. They walked out of each of their families in turn towards the exit. Seeing that everyone had become orderly, Deputy Director Milik was also relieved.
You must know that these people are the backbone of the current shipyard, if they are missing, how can the shipyard build warships for the navy, and merchant ships will have to grab orders. Although there are many ships in the shipping industry at present, there will always be ships that will be scrapped, and no matter how small the mosquito is, it is meat.
The Bern group walked out of the station and watched the rows of buses waiting for them to board the train. In fact, these cars are not from the shipyard either, but from Varna's public transport buses. However, who made the current deputy mayor Dolbo pay attention to the work of the shipyard, so the deputy director of Milik took the opportunity to call over, which can be regarded as letting these senior German workers feel the importance of the shipyard to them.
The Bern family boarded the fourth bus. When the seats were full, the bus led them towards the port under the watchful eyes of the family.
The vehicle made its way through the streets of Varna as they observed the city, which was different from Wilhelmshaven. On the road, the youngest daughter Evelyn saw new things and shouted from time to time, which filled the car with lively life.
"Here we are."
With the driver's words, they turned off the road and into a well-built residential area. Earlier, several buses had stopped here, and the shipyard workers were getting out of the buses with salutes.
The Bern family also got out of the car with the crowd.
"Ladies and gentlemen, each family will send one person to register with me, and then I will assign you housing."
A young man shouted at them, while behind him two staff members brought a set of tables and chairs, and it seemed that this was the place to register. The group immediately lined up, after all, it was a matter of their own future housing, and no one wanted to lag behind others.
Bern also stepped forward to grab a spot. And he found that the registration seemed to be very fast, that is, to ask for the name, and to bring a few family members. When it was Bern's turn, he gave his name and several other family members, and the staff gave him a sign with the blue number 17 on it.
Once everyone had registered, the person in charge of the assignment began to read the number.
Soon the Bernese family came to the Bernes, and under the guidance of the staff, they came to a house. The staff in charge of leading them also told them about the situation along the way.
"You're on the third floor of this building. The house used to be home to government workers, but it was left vacant after it was rebuilt last year. At present, the house has been assigned to the shipyard, and it is just in time for you to live here. ”
Then the staff took them to the third floor and opened the door with the key. The staff who led them added: "At the moment, this place has just been cleaned, and there is only a small amount of furniture such as beds and tables. If you want to buy some furniture, there is a market less than a kilometre from here, where you can buy it. ”
Bern looked at the somewhat empty room and thanked the staff member: "Thank you for your help. ”
"You're welcome, maybe you might be able to help me in the future."
With that, the staff member left.
Bern looked at his new home with the keys, and the children rushed in to choose their rooms.
"But there are fewer items such as ovens, cutlery, and lamps, and it's better to buy a little more wine later to celebrate our move to a new home."
And his wife, Filna, calculates the belongings she needs to buy, as well as the life of the family.
Berne, on the other hand, looked at his wife, who was preparing for the big purchase, and then said, "Listen to you." ”
Later, under the guidance of passers-by, they went to the market to purchase a large number of items. The other shipyard employees who just arrived also went to the market to buy goods, but they spoke German that only a few people here could understand. But fortunately, there are people from the shipyard who bring them, so they don't have a lot of language troubles.
After having their first meal in their new home once with their family, they went to bed early. After all, it was still tiring to take a car from Germany, and Bern was asleep thinking about what the new shipyard would have to do tomorrow.
