Volume 1 Chapter 225 The Brick Mover
Boulogne-sur-Mer, a city in the northwest of France, is the largest fishing port in France, separated from the United Kingdom by the English Channel.
The sea enters Boulogne from the English Channel, dividing the city into east and west, with the residential and commercial areas to the east, the port and freight area to the west, and Le Potelle and Matrow to the west, both of which were inhabited by wealthy people.
Although the economy of Boulogne has not been very good in recent years, there are more and more rich people, these outsiders buy land and build villas in the city, buy yachts, and park at the port.
As a result, many young people in Boulogne do not like these outsiders, and they all think that it is these outsiders who have robbed the natives of their opportunities, the land that belonged to them, the opportunity to make a fortune that belonged to them, and the most beautiful women they have here.
Therefore, almost every day, some people are caught throwing stones at the yacht of a rich man, but the people here do not think that this is a crime at all, but many people think that those who dare to throw stones at the yacht are heroic men.
"Guys, look, the brownie kid has been caught"
With the shouts of sharp-eyed people, there was a burst of cheers from the old pickup truck that was about to pass over the bridge, although a group of middle-aged people in their thirties and forties were sitting on the car, but when they saw the security guard of the marina grab a young man who was struggling to resist, they couldn't help but be excited.
"Hey, let go of your dirty hands"
"Let go of our hero, don't touch him, I warn you"
"Hero of the Brownies, push him into the river so that they can all see how good you are"
The pickup truck driver was an ugly guy with a shocking scar on his face, and although he deliberately wore a thick black beard on his upper lip and chin, it was easy to tell from his eyes and expression that he was not really old, but just pretending to be old over there.
When everyone was coaxing for the arrest of the Brownie family's child, he just glanced at it casually, and then continued to drive his car, without the slightest idea of stopping on the bridge, but stepped on the accelerator deeply, and drove the pickup truck that had not been repaired and maintained for many years.
"The brat of the brownie family is really good, enough to bring seeds"
"That's it, I've been unpleasant to see this kid since he was a child, and he really grew up to be wild enough, I like it, haluha--"
Even after the ground, the front and back seats of the car, as well as a few people sitting in the back compartment, were discussing loudly and blindly.
"I said, little boss, do you dare to go up and throw a stone?" A middle-aged man sitting in the front row asked with a smile.
The scar-faced young man turned his head sideways and grinned, revealing a mouth full of jagged teeth, "What kind of skill is throwing a stone?" It's just a kid's game, and if I become a professional player, hum ......."
"Buy the biggest yacht and park it at the dock," two or three people in the back row immediately burst into laughter.
"I said, little boss, you just don't want to play football anymore, according to the way you play, sooner or later the boss won't even give you the job of moving bricks, and then you won't be able to eat enough for three meals, maybe Wahiba won't want you"
A group of people were joking unscrupulously, and suddenly there was a burst of laughter.
The young man was not angry, he smiled, "You hillbillies who have never seen the world, wait and see, I will definitely try again, if I have the opportunity, you all give me a little care"
A group of workers didn't seem to believe it, and they were all amused.
They are a group of hard-working construction workers, making money by selling their labor, although because no one is willing to do this kind of hard work now, so the wages are very good, but for those of them who are not highly educated, it is difficult to have any savings, and they often spend a day and get by.
Well, that's what life is all about, I can't starve to death if I'm hungry anyway, and no matter how hard I try, I can't make a fortune, so I'm making do with it
The small boss in their mouth is the son of the boss of the construction company, although it is a small boss, but the scale of the construction company is too small, don't count on the contracting project, on weekdays, it is to pick up some sesame mung beans and trivial work, are those authentic construction companies are unwilling to take the work, they go to pack, so, the small boss also has to follow Yu.
Sometimes they even joke that if the boss doesn't do the work himself, he may not earn as much as the worker.
Because the company is not big, it is easy to get along with the boss, father and son, and ordinary workers.
After a bit of boasting, we crossed the cargo dock and arrived at a small villa in Matrow.
Although they curse the rich people in their mouths and throw the yachts of the rich people with stones in their hands, in reality, they still have to make money from the rich people, such as building houses for them.
"Why is it so late? "As soon as the on-site commander saw them get out of the car, he immediately walked over, his tone was a little unhappy, this group of thorns is really troublesome, if it weren't for the difficulty of recruiting workers now, I really wanted to replace them.
The scar-faced young man with "traffic jam on the road" seems to be very good at coping with such a situation, and he is jammed with a casual sentence.
"Don't worry, we'll have it soon."
"That's it, what are you afraid of, anyway, you won't miss your deadline"
A group of people laughed and didn't care, and when they spoke, they had already taken off their shirts one by one and began to prepare for work.
"Fast is fast, but the quality must also be guaranteed, don't mess around" The on-site commander didn't say much.
"Zhilu Dao" The scar-faced young man walked past the on-site commander with a smile, "Pierre, you are so responsible, when I earn money to build a house, I will definitely look for you, and then pick on your fault" After speaking, he seemed to predict that the on-site commander was going to raise his foot and kick him, and he ran away.
Not to mention, this kid is fast and flexible, and if he didn't kick this kick, he had already run away.
"You weren't married before, but now that you're married, if you dare to run away again, your father will break your legs," Pierre scolded, he had been friends with Scarface's father for many years.
"It's better to break your leg, you don't have to move bricks and don't use it for work, you can eat when you sit at home, how comfortable" When he said this, the scar-faced young man had already run to the vicinity of the brick pile.
Although this group of construction workers likes to talk nonsense, but everyone is still very professional, when it is time to live, they are all very well-behaved, because they have no culture, do not rely on selling their physical strength to live there is no way out, and if you don't even work hard in physical work, don't expect someone to recruit you again in the future.
The scar-faced young man quickly picked up the bricks into the bucket truck in the pile of cement bricks, his hands moved quickly, and it didn't take long to fill the bucket truck, and then he saw him alone, pushing the bucket truck to the house with difficulty, and encountering potholes along the way, he relied on himself to push it through.
When he entered the house and arrived at the place, he lifted the bucket truck arm up and directly poured out the cement bricks full of trucks, while the scar-faced young man was already sweating profusely, and the sweat of his naked upper body couldn't help but flow down.
"Take your time, Frank, don't be in such a hurry," said the worker laughing as he was mixing the grout.
"It's okay, I'm okay" The scar-faced young man named Frank smiled, wiped the sweat from his face, pulled up the empty bucket truck and walked out, he had to quickly load another car in.
Although his body was tired and sore, he did not think about giving up at all, because he had a dream of running away from home again to pursue his dream of becoming a footballer, and he wanted to be like the city's hero Papan, who made a career by playing football.
Papin, the pride of everyone in this coastal city, is also the most talented star in France after Platini, and it is the target and object that Frank has wanted to chase since he was a child, because of such a goal, so even if he was given up by Lille, even if he couldn't get a chance in Boulogne and Alex, he didn't give up at all.
Speaking of which, he also had a rough fate, after being expelled from Lille, and returning to Boulogne, he represented Boulogne in the French National League, which is the third season of France's league, and the division is played, but even so, even if Frank performed well in the year he represented Boulogne, it still could not prevent Boulogne from being relegated from the third season of the league.
Because he didn't want to play those irregular amateur games, Frank left his hometown and went to Ales in the south of France to play in the French National League on behalf of Ales, a semi-professional team.
In the end, it was his father who helped him get home, and held a wedding for him and his girlfriend Vahiba, the purpose is to hope that he can stay in Boulogne with peace of mind, and live with him with peace of mind, and take over his business in the future, which doesn't look good, but can support his family's business, and stop dreaming of being a star.
But in the heart of the scar-faced young man, he never thought of giving up, and in his opinion, he was just unlucky, as long as he waited for the opportunity, he would definitely be able to soar, and he was full of confidence in his strength.
Although the work time in the construction site is not very long, it is very tiring and the work intensity is very high.
Don't look at just moving bricks back and forth like this, but the physical consumption is very huge, the scar-faced young man has long been tired and panting, but he just keeps comforting himself, taking moving bricks as physical training, in order to comfort himself, as long as he goes to the football field in the future, he will definitely have a stronger physique than anyone else, a better physical confrontation, and a sharper speed.
Maybe this kind of self-consolation really worked, and he just survived day by day.
To this day, his coach in Boulogne, who used to be at Boulogne, came to the construction site with two people near noon.
A man and a woman, but everyone only looks at the daughter, not the man, because the woman is so beautiful, as beautiful as Venus, everyone in this hot summer, seeing her is like returning to spring, everyone swears that this woman's beauty is definitely more beautiful than Sophie Marceau.
The group of men at the scene all looked straight, but the woman didn't seem to care about being looked at at at all, but under the parasol, she showed a smile that made her feel soulful, as if she had injected a cool ice fountain into the hot summer.
The French coach who accompanied Ye Qiu and Eliza to the scene shouted loudly.
Everyone suddenly woke up, looked at the shirtless little boss, and watched the scar-faced young man Frank Ribery walk out of the house, "What's the matter?" There was no respect in the tone that students should have for coaches.
Of course, some people's respect is in the heart.
Ye Qiu and Eliza glanced at each other, both a little surprised, especially Eliza, who looked at Ye Qiu with a pair of watery eyes, as if she could speak, asking, this guy with a sweaty shirt is the player you are looking for?
She would have sworn that Ribery at this moment was not even the slightest bit close to a professional player
Ye Qiu nodded solemnly, walked over, and stretched out his hand, "Hello, Frank Ribery." ”
"You know me?" Ribery was a little surprised, and wanted to shake hands with Ye Qiu, but found that his hands were very dirty, so he immediately wiped them vigorously on his trouser tubes, but obviously couldn't wipe them clean, but Ye Qiu didn't mind at all, and still held hands with him, which made Ribery surprised and had a sharp impression of Ye Qiu.
Sometimes the slightest detail can change one person's first impression of another.
"My name is Ye Qiu, the manager of the Premier League team Chelsea, have you heard of my team?" Ye Qiu asked with a smile.
"Of course, I have an eye on the newspaper," Ribery apparently remembered.
Ye Qiu was satisfied with his answer, which would save a lot of trouble, "I worked at Ajax before, you know, Ajax has the most complete scouting system in Europe, when you were in Boulogne, we already paid attention to you, but then you went to Ales, our scouts did not rate your performance in Ales, and you are already old. ”
Ye Qiu's words were reasonable, and Ribery couldn't find any problems.
'But personally, I don't think it's a problem, so I'm here today to ask, are you interested in playing in the Premier League?'
"Premier League?" Ribery was able to understand it at first, but the more he heard it, the more he felt that every word of Ye Qiu seemed to be a gong next to his ear, which shocked him almost to the point of deafness, and he couldn't understand it, or he understood it, but his mind couldn't turn it for a while.
"Yes, Premier League, Chelsea," Ye Qiu repeated with a smile.
Ribery understood this time, but he stared at Ye Qiu and showed a playful smile, "You're kidding me, right?" ”
Ye Qiu was stunned, "Tricking you?" ”
"yes, what do you look like now? If you think about it again, I played in Boulogne and Alex before, if I really did well, why didn't anyone fancy me? All of a sudden, you, the dignified manager of Chelsea in the Premier League, came up to me and said, let me go to England ......" Speaking of this, Ribery angrily scolded a foul language, "Stop playing with me, Mr. Premier League"
It can be said that he said so, but his eyes were still looking at Ye Qiu, as if he was expecting something.
Perhaps, this sudden pie made him feel very confused, made him feel very scared, and felt very hesitant, because he didn't know whether what was in front of him was true or false, and he didn't know if he went to the Premier League, would it just repeat what happened to Ales?
"I said, 'What's the matter with you?' Why do you curse? "Eliza is very sorry that Ye Qiu is not worth it.
"I ......" Ribery, like all men, could not see beautiful women, and was suddenly speechless.
Could it be that he still wants to have a verbal battle with Eliza?
"It's okay" Ye Qiu took La Elisa's hand, he expected it, and he himself is not a person who can't see the bad habits of others, that is only a picky gentleman, he didn't, because he was also poor and grassroots.
"You may not be able to fully believe it now, but I have proven my sincerity, and if I am only trying to play with you, then you are overestimating yourself, Frank, because playing with you will not allow me to fly from London to France, and travel several places to Boulogne."
Speaking of this, Ye Qiu smiled again, "The fact that I can come here has proven everything in itself, as for whether you believe it or not, I can't control it, I have a phone here, I can give you a chance, a chance to play in England, as for whether you dare to try, whether you can succeed, I can't guarantee it"
After speaking, Ye Qiu handed a note with Eliza's phone number written on it to Ribery, and then thanked the French coach who led the way, and left the construction site with Eliza.
"Do you really think he can become a professional footballer?" Eliza didn't doubt Ye Qiu's vision, but felt that it was a bit too sensational, after all, how ugly Ribery looked now, and he was still a construction worker who sold physical strength.
Ye Qiu smiled, "Trust my instincts, Eliza, the most unreliable thing in this world is your own eyes, because it can easily deceive your brain, so that you can't find the pearl under the dust at all." ”
Eliza laughed sneering, "Acting like a philosopher, pretending to be a ghost"
's coquettish and lovely appearance made the driver in the front row who secretly looked at her from the rearview mirror almost stunned.
"All I can say is that he has the opportunity to become one of the best players in the world," Ye Qiu said confidently.
Even now, Ye Qiu still said that there is a chance, whether he can or not, it depends on Ribery himself, after all, Ye Qiu's arrival has completely changed his previous trajectory, how far he can go, whether he is willing to join Chelsea, Ye Qiu is not clear about this.
The only thing he can do as a manager is wait and be patient.
