Chapter 313: Two Years Later

"Woo......!"

With a loud roar, an ocean-going freighter with a displacement of more than 5,000 tons slowly approached the Hamburg docks along the wide Elbe Channel!

Watching the freighter dock, Oliver Bierhoff hurriedly ran over, and with the crowd, he got this job of fighting sacks, figuratively speaking, coolies!

Although the whole body is sore, bitter and tired after a day's work, and the daily salary is only five marks, which can only ensure food and clothing for the family, it is not easy to find a job to support the family in this era when the economic crisis is raging in Germany! Moreover, because of the economic crisis, the price of grain fell sharply last year, resulting in a large amount of land being abandoned and a large amount of grain being left unharvested and rotting in the ground. www.biquge.info As a result, a year later, grain production around the world has been reduced on a large scale, and grain prices have remained high, so even the relief grain issued by the German government is only clear soup, which makes people unable to fill their stomachs at all! Therefore, it is not easy to have a job now to ensure food and clothing for a family!

With a 'bang', Oliver put the sack full of rice on his body in the warehouse on the dock, wiped the sweat from his head, and looked at the sack that had been piled up, and his eyes showed a strong look of longing! Germany, which originally used more than 60 percent of its agricultural land and was also a grain exporter, has become a grain importer because of the economic crisis, including France, Britain, Spain, and the Netherlands. The more industrially powerful the country, the more severely it will be devastated by this economic crisis!

"Alas!" Oliver sighed deeply, from the outbreak of the economic crisis last June to the present. Almost two years have passed! However, there is still no end in sight to the economic crisis, and whether it is Britain, France, or even Germany, which is a little better, the market is still dead, and there is not the slightest improvement in the stock market! The unprecedented economic crisis has turned the entire capitalist world into a grave. There is not the slightest bit of life!

"Hi, Bierhoff didn't expect to see you again here!"

Just when Oliver took advantage of the rest time to sink into his own thoughts. A familiar voice came into his ears and made him look up!

"Rummenigge, is it really you?" Oliver couldn't help but say in surprise as he looked at his old companion he was extremely familiar with.

"Bierhoff is so glad to see you again!" said the two of them, hugging each other tightly. Friends I haven't seen in years. Let the two of them be extremely excited at the moment!

"It's been two years, two years since the factory went bankrupt, and I didn't expect to see you again today, it's so happy!" Oliver said excitedly.

The two have been friends since they were students, although they were not admitted to university, but after graduating from technical school. At the same time, he entered a medium-sized steel plant in Essen, after more than ten years of hard work. They have all become the technical backbone of the factory, but the sky is unpredictable, and the most seriously affected by this economic crisis are the heavy industrial factories such as steel and machinery, so the factory where the two of them worked quickly closed down in less than a month after the economic crisis began! It was at that time that the two lost contact until they met here two years later!

"Yes, Oliver, it's God's way to see you again before I leave Germany!"

"Leaving Germany?" Oliver looked stunned, and then he realized that his old friend in front of him was neatly dressed, with a heavy suitcase at his feet, and his family he knew very well behind him!

"Leaving Germany!" Rummenigge are leaving Germany, why?" asked Oliver, with some emotion.

"Bierhoff can do anything, it's all this damn economic crisis, two years ago I took my family back to my aunt's house in the countryside of Leipzig, hoping to relieve some of the burden of life there, but two years have passed, the German economy is still not improving, every day is half-starved, I don't care, but when the children are still growing up, they can't persevere, so when I saw the recruitment advertisement for Chinese, I went to sign up!"

"China? Rummenigge, are you confused? Distant China is a desert of science and technology, there is no industry at all, what are you going to do there, farming?" Oliver said excitedly.

"No, Oliver, you are wrong! The place you are talking about is the Qing Dynasty, not the Chinese People's Army I am going to!"

"Are you going to the Chinese power that defeated the Dutch and the Portuguese, and then took the west of the Mississippi River from the Americans?" asked Oliver, hesitantly. The brilliant achievements of the Huo family army over the years, even in distant Europe, they are well known!

"Yes, Bierhoff! I have inquired that we will be able to continue working in the factories there and that we will be paid three times as much as we used to pay in Germany, and that our children will receive free education, and that high-ranking mechanics like us will receive a free house!" Although Germany is an industrially developed capitalist country, the status of workers in this country is not high, and the monthly money is very small.

The factories in Germany today are like the Republic of China period at the beginning of the twentieth century, when the capitalists squeezed the surplus value of the workers to the greatest extent and grabbed high profits!

Listening to his old friend's story, Oliver couldn't help but be moved, "Rummenigge, what you said is true?"

"Yes, old friend! Royce, who used to be in the same factory with us, that is, the fat guy, who had emigrated to China last year, sent me letters, and there are many photos of him there, and the conditions promised to him by the Chinese have been fulfilled!" Rummenigge said with some excitement.

Of course, he didn't know that the reason why these letters would be sent back was because of Huo Jiajun's arrangement, because under the same conditions, the words that often come out of the mouths of strangers and acquaintances are two feelings, and it is often easier to believe the words of his friends and acquaintances!

Royce was also a co-worker at the steel mill, but Rummenigge was more familiar with him than Oliver!

"Bierhoff, why don't you immigrate to China with me, and then we can be companions together! Otherwise, with no end in sight to the economic crisis, how long can you carry a sack here alone?" Rummenigge advised.

Listening to his words, Oliver's heart was also a little hesitant, although he is not very old in his thirties now, but compared to those young men in his twenties, he is much inferior in physical functions, so he can't do this kind of physical work of carrying sacks!

"Rummenigge, the Chinese's contract is twenty years after it is signed! With our current age, I am afraid that we will not have the opportunity to return to Germany in this life!"

"I know, old friend! I love my country, but I love myself and my family even more, and the raging economic crisis has left me with two years of poverty, and I don't want to hold on any longer! Therefore, even if it is twenty years, I will never be able to return to Germany, as long as I and my family can live happily in the East, then I am willing!" said Rummenigge categorically.

Looking at the determined eyes of his old friend, Oliver suddenly felt a little strange, when his personality was a little soft, and even the indecisive Rummenigge was able to make such a clear decision!

"It seems that poverty and hunger can change a person's will!" Oliver thought to himself.

"Bierhoff, the ship is about to leave! If you also want to go to China, please remember this address, if nothing else, I work in this city!" said Rummenigge, who took a pen and paper from his pocket, quickly wrote down the name of the place, and hurried towards the dock with his family, where there was already a long queue, and it was the ocean liner of the Pacific Shipping that he was familiar with to pick them up!

Clutching the note tightly in his hand, looking at the figure of his old friend getting farther and farther away, Oliver wiped the sweat from his head and made a decision in his heart!

"Sir, I want to apply for immigration!"

"What's your name?"

"Oliver Bierhoff!"

"What kind of profession did you engage in before, we only recruit all kinds of skilled technicians and teachers!" Of course, Huo Jiajun's immigrant representative has one less to say, that is, a single woman who can immigrate directly without even asking!

"I used to be a worker at the Ruth steel plant in Essen, and I have been working for 12 years!"

Hearing his words, the eyes of the young staff lit up, and a skilled technician with rich experience like Oliver can be said to be the most sought-after immigrant candidate in addition to high-quality talents such as university teachers and so on among all immigration categories!

"Okay, your immigration application has been approved, now you can fill out this form, three days later, you can bring your family here to report, we will arrange a special boat to send you to China!" Although the Chinese People's Army has not officially established the country, Western countries and people are also accustomed to calling them China! Therefore, Huo Jiajun's own staff are also used to using China to represent their own Huo Jiajun!

"Is this okay?" Oliver asked with a stunned look as he held the red-stamped immigration certificate written in German and Chinese in his hand.

"Of course, let's go back and prepare! Three days is not a long time!" )
