Battle of the Third Reich Chapter 41: WeChat (6)
"Um... I can't promise you anything now, but I have a few friends in the German headquarters, so..."
Xu Jun shrugged slightly.
"This way..."
Boss Zhou began to hesitate again.
It’s not that he didn’t believe in the words of the young German in front of him. The lobbyist who mistook him for a Japanese was because he had prejudices. Now let’s take a closer look at the other person, whether it’s what he wears or what he shows. The temperament shows that this German has a prominent position.
The problem now is that he doesn't know if the German is willing to help him after hearing his troubles. Although this trouble is not a problem for a well-established German, it also involves the Japanese. Let's look at Germany's attitude towards Japan in recent years. . . . Boss Zhou really doesn't know if he can trust each other.
"You can say it with confidence, there are no problems that we can't solve in Paris..."
Randolph was very disapproved when he saw Boss Zhou’s hesitation. He felt that he should encourage this slimy-looking Chinese man.
"Then, well, gentlemen..."
Boss Zhou finally made up his mind. With the mentality of treating a dead horse as a living horse doctor, he told Xu Jun and the others what happened.
Zhou Yunzhou’s boss belongs to the first generation of expatriates. Two years ago, he left his hometown with his family to travel to Europe.
To be honest, this Mr. Zhou is still a bit business savvy. In this era when most Chinese expatriates only know to work in factories, he first saw the huge business opportunities of Chinese cuisine in Europe, so he gritted his teeth. Put all his savings to open this Telford House in the French capital.
He was successful. France is a nation that loves to enjoy food. They created their own French cuisine culture for this. Not only that, the French are also very keen to try the food of other nations in addition to their own traditional dishes. , And Chinese cuisine, which is comparable to French cuisine in all aspects, is more satisfying to their appetite.
Boss Zhou’s business has developed in such a splendid manner.
In just half a year, he moved Telford House from the old and rudimentary street shop near the Lyon train station to the most famous foreign food street in Paris, and thus became a member of the second-class restaurant in Paris. The owner Zhou is in this restaurant. You can imagine the effort spent on it.
The history of Chinese emigration to France can be traced back to the Opium War. At that time, some farmers in coastal areas of China could not bear the joint squeeze of the corrupt officials of the Qing government and the landlord and bad gentry, and they were forced to receive extremely low wages. Hired by some European businessmen, they left their hometown to work in European factories.
In addition to language barriers, they also had to face conflicts in living habits and customs, as well as the general discriminatory attitudes of Europeans at the time. The tough first-generation immigrants in China wrote a hard-working overseas with their blood, tears and sweat. History of entrepreneurship.
It took two generations of Chinese immigrants to finally let Europeans accept their existence. And what’s even more commendable is that they have completely preserved the traditional customs and living habits of the Chinese nation. In contrast, in Xu Jun’s time and space, those guys who speak unfavorable Chinese but speak foreign languages should really be. Have a good reflection.
During the First World War, a large number of Chinese were sent to the French battlefield by the Beiyang government as war laborers. They proved their worth with their blood and lives, and they were also affirmed by the French government and people.
After the war, some Chinese people stayed in this land where the blood of their compatriots had flowed. They worked and worked here, got married and had children, and together with the old immigrants, they broke a piece of land belonging to the Chinese in France.
The brief period of peace between the two wars became the peak of Chinese immigration to Europe.
Due to the turbulent domestic situation in China, a large number of residents in coastal areas of China have travelled across the ocean to Europe for development, and most of them are from Zhejiang and Fujian.
Most of them chose France, where the immigration policy is relatively loose and the Chinese have a solid foundation. Relying on the various skills they have mastered, they quickly integrated into this strange land.
Many people have also achieved success that is unmatched in the country, because there is no such thing as a self-proclaimed commander of the generals to exploit them.
At that time, France also became the preferred destination for Chinese students studying abroad. A large number of Chinese students came to France through the French-Chinese Education Association and the Work-Study Society in France.
They relied on work-study programs to study and live in France, absorbing the world's advanced knowledge and technology at the time, and even political ideas. They dreamed of relying on their own efforts to change China's backward and closed situation.
They were the best talents among the younger generation in China at that time. Sadly, after returning to China, these students found that the valuable knowledge they had learned was useless.
Many of them can only make a living by teaching in various universities, and some are employed by foreign-funded enterprises or national capitalists in China, but this has nothing to do with the knowledge they have learned. All they need is them Foreign language skills.
However, although they did not have the opportunity to fulfil their ambitions, they brought the world’s most advanced science and technology and ideas into China, opening a window to the world for China. China has been filled with fresh air for the past century.
At that time, China was slowly moving forward, but it was actually advancing. However, even this slow progress was interrupted by the Japanese invading military firearms. Looking back now, it really makes the Chinese grit their teeth.
And Boss Zhou took his family and fled from Zhejiang to Guangdong after the outbreak of the War of Resistance, and then came to France by sea from Hong Kong.
As explained earlier, Zhou Yun's entrepreneurship was originally all going well. The business of Defulou is very prosperous, and it has almost become the top restaurant on this street.
But all this has changed with the appearance of the Japanese restaurant.
Just six months ago, a Japanese restaurant suddenly appeared on the opposite side of Telford Building. Although Zhou Yun hated the Japanese very much at the beginning, he still adhered to the traditional Chinese business ethics, opening the door to do business and doing his own business, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.
But what he didn't expect was that he didn't get into trouble, but he came to the door by himself.
The Japanese restaurant opposite suddenly sent someone to provoke him, asking Zhou Yun to exit the food street and sell the restaurant to them. Of course, Zhou Yun would not agree to such an unreasonable request. He invited the two Japanese representatives out of his hotel on the spot.
Since then, the Japanese have started to make trouble in Defu Tower. They often gather a group of alcoholic drinkers into the restaurant to mess around. If they don't agree, they will fight, destroy the property in the store and even harass the dining guests. After one visit, the business of Defu Building suddenly slipped. Reached the bottom.
The past two months have been even more bleak. Almost no guests came to dine. Of course, the siege of the German army was also a reason, but the most important thing was the destruction of the Japanese gangsters.
Zhou Yun once asked the French police for help, but I don’t know why. The French didn’t seem to want to care about this kind of thing. At the end of the incident, they only sent a small police officer to the restaurant to wander around, for reasons that there is no definite evidence. Dismissed him.
"So, now I know why you hate those Japanese so much. They not only occupied your home but also ruined your business shamelessly."
Randolph nodded slightly and said sympathetically.
"They have more than occupied my homeland. This group of beasts, they are not worthy of being called humans. As long as you can imagine the atrocities they have committed on Chinese soil. They raped women, massacred civilians and prisoners of war. , Even children who can’t walk yet.
As long as they want, they can kill any Chinese who appear in front of them at will. The murderer will not be punished but will be praised and worshipped. "
After talking, Zhou Yun took a glass and poured a glass of wine into his mouth viciously.
"You used to be a soldier, Mr. Zhou."
From the beginning, Weierle, who had been listening silently, stared at Boss Zhou's bloodshot eyes and asked faintly.
"This..."
Zhou Yun was questioned for a moment. He looked back at Weierle's gaze, and then sighed long.
"Yes, I used to be a soldier. You must have seen the wound on my wrist."
Zhou Yun raised his hand and touched his right wrist. There was a scar on it. It was hidden by the cuff and could not be seen carefully.
"That was left by Japanese bullets."
"I knew it was caused by bullets at first glance. However, I did not judge it because of this, but because of your temperament. As a businessman, your sitting posture is too tall and straight."
Weirle leisurely picked up a chopsticks and put it in his mouth.
"Yeah, this is already my habit, I can't change it. Sir, your observation is really meticulous~IndoMTL.com~Zhou Yunyun stood up and filled the wine glass with Weirle.
"Thank you, this is also my old habit, it can't be changed. By the way, which Chinese army do you serve in, the army or the navy."
Weyler asked with a smile.
"It is the army, the second lieutenant of the 88th Infantry Division of the Chinese Army."
Zhou Yun filled himself a glass with the jug.
"88 Division? Is the Army Adjustment Division?"
Xu Jun suddenly stopped his chopsticks.
"Do you know the 88th Division?"
Zhou Yun looked at the young German in surprise.
"Yes...German Weaponist..."
Xu Jun slowly put down his chopsticks.
Just as Xu Jun opened his mouth to say something, there was a loud noise of glass shattering at the door, and then I heard a hoarse voice yelling in lame French: "The one who ate in the Defu building Three Frenchmen, come out!"
reached out and patted Zhou Yun on the shoulder, Xu Jun smiled and took a drink from his glass, then smiled and slowly stood up.
Weierle once again rubbed his temples vigorously. Seeing the eyes of the head of state now, Weierle knew that someone was going to be unlucky~ IndoMTL.com~ Welcome friends to come and read, the latest, fastest, The hottest serial works are all at ~IndoMTL.com~
