Chapter 84: The Great Depression (3)
This is an America that has not yet had Bruce Lee, this is an America that has just passed World War I, this is an America that is still in the Great Depression.
The Americans of this period, who did not understand Japan, did not know China, did not care about the East either. No one expects Chinese kung fu any more than anyone expects Hoover.
Huang Xuan hooked his hand and smiled ugly at Thomas, and the crowd suddenly clamoured.
Several Ford employees also looked like they were watching a good show, and Thomas looked at Huang Xuan's little arms and legs with disdain, and said, "Do you have 1 cent?" ”
He laughed as he spoke.
However, the Detroit people didn't like this kind of lip service, and Thomas, who had been bored, had to take off his suit, take two steps forward, and say, "Boy, let me send you back to the tribe, and we have to go back to work." ”
Huang Xuan moved his wrist, if there was only one person on the other side, he would definitely pounce directly, instead of waiting for this guy to talk nonsense.
Mr. Thomas was finally ready, he handed over the document bag in his hand to his assistant, pinched his hand bones and walked to Huang Xuan, and said with a smile: "Filipino kid ......"
"Snort", Thomas was like a pig that had been burned, and a stream of air came out of his throat, Huang Xuan's punch that had been saved for a long time hit him heavily under his shoulder blade, and above his chest, the power released knocked him back two steps, and Huang made persistent efforts, jumped up and gave the American devil a hammer in the eye, which was the end of this farce.
The director of the brown coat came over with a few people at this time, and happened to see the scene of Huang Xuan knocking down Thomas, he was startled, trotted over, and pointed at Huang Xuan: "Hi, boy, get out of here, right away." ”
"Wait, I want to try him too." Julien shook his feet, he looked like he was two meters fast, and he never fell behind in his strength.
Huang Xuan pouted indifferently, even if he couldn't beat others, there was Lorraine behind him, so why be afraid of one of them.
The supervisor stopped between the two and said to Julien, "Mr. Ford will be here today, don't make trouble here." ”
"Have you found the workers?" The other person looked like he was playing a circle.
"Take your pick." The Director stepped out of the way, followed by approximately 20 people.
Thomas just got up from the ground, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and looked at Huang Xuan viciously.
"I can also draw, can I try it?" When Huang Xuan heard Ford's name, his heart moved, although he didn't know whether it was Henry or Edsel, but as long as he was a guy who could talk, it was enough.
"You're not leaving?" The guy in the brown coat yelled and said, "Do you want me to kick your ass home?" ”
"The guy who wanted to kick my ass just got up." Huang Xuan said disdainfully: "I want to try." ”
As a right, the man in the coat could of course refuse Huang Xuan, but he did not do so, and no one else clearly objected to it - the United States in the '30s was the most tolerant of violence, and it was in this atmosphere that Sicilian men took root in the major cities of the United States from the Great Depression onwards: Detroit, Chicago, Houston......
"If you're lying to me, don't even think about standing up and leaving here." The man in the coat said viciously. Huang Xuan smiled at him.
The men who belonged to the army of the unemployed did not show ill feelings towards Huang Xuan, in stark contrast to the Germans of the same period, and although racism was still on the rise, giving opportunities was the basis of the existence of American society. Of course, the main reason is Huang Xuan's toughness, which makes the workers present have a sense of intimacy.
A short and fat white man took the materials in Julien's hand and said to a few people, including Huang Xuan, "You come with me," in a small room near the factory gate, he pulled out a few drawings of parts, and said, "Do you draw a left view?" Draw one per person, and a sketch will do. ”
It's just an ordinary three-view, but in the factories of this period, being able to read the drawings is, to a certain extent, a sign of a journeyman. Julien and the others also followed in curiously, and they all stood around Huang Xuan waiting for him to make a fool of himself. Normally, technical schools and factories teach students these things, and Huang Xuan's age is not enough time in the two.
Thomas covered his eyes and stood directly behind Huang Xuan, exhaling in his mouth, as if harassing Huang Xuan.
Of course, Huang Xuan can't draw, but Lorraine can, he took a pencil and said to Lorraine: "Help me draw that picture." ”
Left view. It is a figure that looks past from the left side of an object. After Comrade Guardian corrected Huang Xuan, he complained: "If you use energy to manipulate you to draw pictures, it will consume too much energy." ”
"How many can there be." Huang Xuan said unmoved: "If we don't get them, we won't be able to see Ford, but don't imagine that I will go to his house to find him, and I won't be able to do anything in 10 days." ”
"Okay." After Lorraine compromised, Huang Xuan immediately felt a force around his arm, and his fingers moved naturally.
This is not a stiff manipulation, but a forced guidance, Lorraine increased the concentration of air around Huang Xuan's body, forcing his movements to meet the requirements, in this case, Huang Xuan held a ruler in one hand and gestured, and his fingers moved more naturally.
The three views are the most basic step in industrial drawing, however, ordinary does not mean simple, more often, drawing requires care and patience, and these usually do not exist in a teenager.
For the arrogant white class, such a merit should not exist in a yellow race, and it is mean to think that maybe the black man will be better.
However, Huang Xuan's performance stunned the guys watching the excitement, most of the people present are technical backbones, they know every step of the drawing process very well, of course, they will also know in what situations it will be more difficult, and where they may need to think about it.
However, Lorraine's thought process is indistinguishable to the human eye, and his movements must be flawless, and Thomas almost splits his eye socket again
"Looks alright?" Although he believed in Lorraine, Huang Xuan was still a little unsure.
"Of course." Julien stretched out his hand to his colleague and said, "Above the standard." ”
"So, I'm hired?" Huang Xuan asked with a smile.
Thomas also put away his arrogant demeanor at this time, and after the violent defeat, he found that his intelligence level was also up for debate.
The man in brown also patted Huang Xuan's shoulder in surprise and said, "It's not bad." ”
"OK, come with me." The white fat man pulled Huang Xuan, ordered 5 more people, and walked out.
Huang Xuan staggered after him and asked, "Which Ford is coming today?" ”
“BOSS。” Someone replied simply, and then asked Huang Xuandao: "Where did you learn cartography?" Your father? ”
"Yes."
Lorraine explained: "The boss is Edsel, and he should have taken over the management of Ford. ”
As long as you have money in your hand, Huang Xuan smiled unconsciously, and asked again: "Then where will he go, I mean, how can I meet him?" ”
"What are you going to see him for?"
"Uh......, it's just worship."
Several people laughed, and Thomas said expressionlessly, "Edsel will come to our workshop, and you will see him, boy." ”
"I will." Huang Xuan replied very seriously.
