Rebirth: Rising Hong Kong

After appointing John Schumacher as the factory manager, the first thing Shi Zhijian did was to "seek for talent" and invite Pietro, the technical backbone who was dismissed because of the reform of the car company, to return to the company.

According to John, this Pietro is a technical talent poached by Bentley Group from BMW, who is good at engine research and development, as well as maintenance.

Such a talent, Shi Zhijian, knows how valuable it is. In the last life, the reason why Chinese car companies wanted to overtake on curves and started with electric vehicles was because they couldn't do those ghosts in the field of engines.

Those ghost car companies rely on engine technology to choke the throats of Chinese car companies, and rely on technology to make huge profits.

Shi Zhijian, who is familiar with that experience, will of course not let go of a "talent" like Pietro.

When Shi Zhijian asked John to inquire about Pietro's news, he learned that Pietro would not be able to survive after the factory was dismissed, so he returned to his hometown of Frankfurt from Munich.

Helpless, Shi Zhijian had to bring Axe Jun, met John at the airport, and flew to Frankfurt together.

After coming down from Frankfurt Airport, there were not many taxis in the huge airport. John told Shi Zhijian that people in this place used to take trains.

The train is not as comfortable as a taxi, especially because there is no heating, and because it is winter, there are not many people, so Shi Zhijian sat on the cold train and swore that he would only take this once in his life! Never sit again!

There are still old trains from World War II, rushing through the snow-capped world, passing through dense forests, long iron bridges, and heading towards Shi Zhijian and their destination.

On the train, those German ghosts also like to drink cold beer in the winter. The old German man sitting opposite Shi Zhijian is like this, wearing a rustic sheepskin hat, one can after another, and the side dish with beer is the German snack curry sausage.

Seeing Shi Zhijian looking at him, the old German smiled, showing his teeth blackened by cigarettes, and even took the initiative to invite Shi Zhijian to enjoy beer and his curry sausage.

Shi Zhijian waved his hand and rejected the other's kindness, but still smiled at the old man and expressed his gratitude.

John and Axe Jun were not polite to the old man. They each took a can and ate them with curry sausage.

Axe Jun drank beer and chewed sausages, and said to Shi Zhijian: "Mr. Shi, I feel that these Germans are much better than those British people in London."

"Where is it?"

"Look, they are very hospitable and enthusiastic!" Axe Jun swallowed the sausage in his stomach. "It's not like those British guys have their nostrils turned upside down and look down on people!"

Shi Zhijian smiled and said: "Britons have always been proud, especially the London gang, who have their eyes above the top, thinking that they are still an empire on which the sun never sets. They are also severely discriminated against us Chinese. Germany is different, these The Germans have experienced World War II, the country has been divided and occupied, and the people at the bottom here have suffered like we Chinese!"

"Oh, so that's the case." Axe Jun nodded, wondering if he understood.

The old train clunked like this for more than an hour before it pulled into Frankfurt Central Station.

Shi Zhijian and the others got out of the car. John waved and called a taxi this time. The three of them took the taxi and drove towards Pietro's hometown.

Pietro's hometown is called "Dog Town", which is famous for its German Shepherd dogs. Many people in the town rely on dogs to make a living.

It is a pity that during World War II, the people and dogs here were recruited into the army. When the war ended, there were basically not many people left in the whole town, and the original dog town became very deserted.

Pietro was born in this impoverished town. In order to go out, he studied hard and finally got ahead and became an elite in automotive technology.

Unfortunately, this good day is not long.

When he jumped from BMW to Bentley, he was doomed.

At the beginning, he relied on technology to get a high salary, and because of job-hopping, he was banned by BMW in the industry.

After the Bentley production line was sold to Shi Zhijian and replaced with an electric vehicle production line, his talent in engine technology would be useless.

If he wants to go to another car company, BMW will not give him a way out. He didn't understand how to change careers and do other things. The only way out was to take the money that he had saved for a few years and go back to his hometown to open a convenience store.

This convenience store is located on the side of the street. It's fine when it's not snowing. Some people will stop to buy beer, cigarettes, etc. When it's snowing, the business will be reduced by a lot. Many people would rather stay in a warm car than stop. Come down and visit his little shop.

Pietro couldn't sit idle without customers, so he worked with hired female cashiers to sort the shelves and remove food and drinks that were about to expire.

At this time, there was a tinkling wind chime at the door.

Has a guest come?

Pietro, wearing glasses, was burying his head in sorting out soda biscuits. Hearing the movement, he asked the female cashier to greet the guests.

But after the female cashier passed by, she ran over and called him: "Boss, someone is coming to find you!"

"Looking for me?" Pietro froze for a moment, put down the items in his hand, took off his chiffon gloves, and walked across the shelf towards the door.

Soon, Pietro saw old friend John.

"Oh God, why are you here?" Pietro looked excited and stepped forward to hug John deeply, slapping his back.

"I came to see you, and I brought someone here!" John turned around, showing Shi Zhijian and Axe Jun standing behind him.

Pietro didn't know Shi Zhijian, and seeing that he was Chinese, he looked at John in surprise.

John introduced: "This is Mr. Shi Zhijian, the president of Shinhwa Group. He bought Shinhwa Motor in Munich!"

Pietro was stunned when he heard this, surprised by Shi Zhijian's youth, but more out of indignation -- if Shi Zhijian hadn't acquired the company in Munich and engaged in the production and development of electric vehicles, he would not have fallen to this point.

"Mr. Shi, I don't understand why you came to me?" Pietro asked.

Shi Zhijian smiled: "Can you find a place where you can talk? I don't like standing at the door very much. First, I'm afraid it will affect your business. Second, it's too cold here."

call! A gust of wind blew, rolling snow and ice from between Shi Zhijian's legs into the convenience store.

"Okay, go to my office." Pietro shrugged and led Shi Zhijian and the others to his small office, and halfway through, he said to the female cashier, "Tracy, help me make three cups of coffee!"

...

Although the office is small, the sofa table and chairs are all available.

Shi Zhijian sat on the sofa with a cup of hot coffee in front of him.

John sat side by side with him.

Axe Jun didn't sit, and stood behind Shi Zhijian habitually.

Pietro was a little unaccustomed to others standing in his office, and from time to time he gestured to Axe Jun to sit down.

Axe Jun was fiddling with the cards on his own.

"Then it can be said now, Mr. Shi, what are you doing here with me?" Pietro asked.

"I want to invite you back to the company."

"Uh, what? Go back?" Pietro took off his glasses and wiped the lenses with a tissue. "I heard that right, you were the ones who fired me, and now you want to invite me back?"

"Yes, you heard that right." Shi Zhijian pondered for a while and said, "I admit that the previous decision was wrong, to expel professional and technical talents like you in order to develop electric vehicles! Now I am here in person, just To make up for mistakes!"

Pietro shrugged, his brown eyes showing a trace of disdain: "In your opinion, is someone like me so inconspicuous that you can come and go when you say it?"

"No, on the contrary, I think you are a rare treasure of the company! I have great respect for you!"

"Respect? Hehe!" Pietro sneered twice, put on his glasses again and said, "Unfortunately, what should I say? You also saw me opening this convenience store. I am the boss now, and I will not give it to you again. Others work! Yes, God, I don't want to be mercilessly fired and kicked out like garbage!"

"Do you think it's fun to open a convenience store?"

"Yes, I am very happy!"

"What about your skills, are you not going to use your talents again and let them rot and rot?"

Pietro stopped talking.

Shi Zhijian continued: "If you say this is called happiness, then I congratulate you! I won't bother you again!"

Pietro's expression became tangled.

Just then, there was a commotion outside.

"God, this chick is so pretty!"

"Yeah, why didn't I find a convenience store here?"

"Don't touch me! Damn it!" But it was the voice of the female cashier.

"Why can't you touch it? Don't you run a convenience store? Isn't that what a convenience store sells? Hahaha!" A lewd smile.

"Damn it!" Pietro couldn't sit still anymore, and couldn't care about continuing to talk to Shi Zhijian. He got up and walked outside: "Tracy, what happened?"

When Shi Zhijian and the others saw this, they also got up and followed.

A large truck was parked outside.

At the cashier counter, a bearded man is molesting the female cashier Tracy.

The bearded partner, a tall, thin man with a cigarette in his mouth, was pulling tobacco and alcohol on the container.

Seeing Pietro come out of the office, Tracy was relieved.

Pietro stepped forward, asked Tracy to hide behind him, and said to the whiskers: "Hey guys, if you're just shopping, then please! If you have other thoughts, I'm sorry, I'll call the police! "Speaking of that, Pietro went to grab the cashier's phone.

Before he could catch the phone in his hand, the bearded man had already pulled out a dagger and stuck it on the cashier with a snap, and slanted Pietro arrogantly: "If you don't want your hand, then continue---! "

Pietro glanced at the dazzling dagger, took a deep breath and looked at the other party: "Man, I'm in business, and I don't want to cause trouble!"

"Is that so? It's very simple, you can help my friend buy all the tobacco and alcohol for free, and—" The bearded grin looked at Tracy, the girl hiding behind Pietro, "hand her over. We are very lonely driving the truck all the way, and we can be happy with her!"

Pietro frowned, pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, and said to the beard in a serious tone: "I'm sorry, I can't do this!"

"Can't do it?" The bearded man sneered, "Perhaps you still don't know the names of my friends and I! No one on this road doesn't know our butcher brothers!"

Butcher Brothers?

Hearing this name, Pietro and Tracy's expressions became a little nervous, and the thin white man who was searching for tobacco and alcohol even held a lot of things, arrogantly raised his middle finger, stuck his tongue out, and made a face at Pietro!

The butcher brothers are the owners of a nearby slaughterhouse. The two of them are also well-known local rogues. They like to drive large trucks to transport pork and beef. They often bully passersby, fight and bully men and women. .

"Now give you one last chance, promise us, or reject us - but I can give you a hint, if you reject us, then you and your convenience store will have an accident, such as a broken arm Broken leg, fire or something..."

Faced with such a threat from Chi Guoguo, Pietro gritted his teeth, but did not dare to speak.

Tracey even hid behind him and shivered.

"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry to disturb you---- Mr. Beard, have you finished talking with Mr. Pietro? If you're done talking, then please leave. I still have important things to discuss with him!" With patience, I couldn't help but stand up and speak.

The bearded man didn't know where a Chinese man appeared, and he dared to speak to himself in such an arrogant tone. He immediately stepped forward and grabbed Shi Zhijian's tie, "Hey, are you looking for death?"

Shi Zhijian smiled and glanced at his beard: "If I were you, I would loosen my tie now---because I hate people wrinkling my suit!"

"Really? What if I want to play hard?" The bearded man tugged at Shi Zhijian's tie, cracked his mouth, and looked arrogant.

Shi Zhijian smiled more kindly, "I'm so sorry, you will die miserably!"

"What? Hahaha! I heard that there is no guy, he said I would die miserably!" Beard turned his head and said to his companion.

The companion held a lot of tobacco and alcohol: "Fuck him, man! Let this yellow-skinned monkey know how good you are!"

"Okay, listen to you!" The bearded man turned his face and was about to say something cruel to Shi Zhijian, when the axe that Shi Zhijian was behind moved!

Shaped like a ghost, he somehow reached in front of the bearded beard and reached out to touch his wrist!

The beard felt like the wrist was scorched by a soldering iron~www.readwn.com~ It hurts so hot, let go of the tie!

At the same time, Axe Jun gave a side kick! Violently kicked in the beard belly!

The tall bearded man shot out like a cannonball, knocking over three shelves with a bang, and drowning in the goods, he didn't know if he was dead or alive.

Whoa! The tall and thin companion was dumbfounded, and everything in his arms fell to the ground!

Shi Zhijian took out the handkerchief in his suit pocket, brushed his tie, and said, "I said earlier, you will die miserably!"

Everyone at the scene looked at Axe Jun stupidly, at this powerful and perverted guy.

Shi Zhijian tidied up his tie, and then put the handkerchief back on. He turned to look at Pietro and said, "Now, are you still happy with your convenience store life?"
