114. Crossroads
A blood column flowed down Dong Qiangqiang's temple, and a regular "beep" sound came into his ears. He felt the sound getting louder and louder when he pressed against the airbag, as if it was coming from under the hood of his car. He finally slowly opened his eyes.
He saw a huge airbag in front of him pressing against his front. He wanted to pull out from under the airbag, but the pressure on the airbag was very high, and he tried it several times but couldn't succeed.
He remembered that Kalina had said that airbags were disposable products and did not have to consider recycling and reuse. So he used his blood-stained hands to tremble and tremble for a long time before he found the airbag. He pulled them with all his strength, and the air in the airbag immediately leaked out.
As the airbag slowly shrank, Dong Qiangqiang saw that half of the front windshield of the car was hanging from the window frame, dense cracks blocked his sight, and half of them fell all over the car. However, because it was made of tempered material, the broken glass was all small round blocks, which did not scratch Dong Qiangqiang and Kalina.
Through the place without a windshield, Dong Qiangqiang found that the two vehicles collided very remotely, and no vehicles were seen passing by in several directions of the road.
He turned his head and looked at Kalina next to him, and saw that she was also pushed onto the seat by an air-filled white airbag. He also freed her from under the airbag by copying her, and gently shook her arm. After a long time, he heard Kalina breath out: "Oh my god!"
"Your forehead is bleeding." Dong Qiangqiang said with concern without caring about his pain.
Kalina quickly wiped her hands with her hands, then carefully touched her forehead, and said calmly: "It's okay, this is a shot with the airbag." She covered her chest and added: "Luckily I wear a seat belt."
In Germany, the co-pilot also has to wear a seat belt.
Kalina quickly checked her body and found that she was lucky enough to have just scratched some skin. She tried to move her wrists and ankles again, and found that she was still moving freely. She nodded at Dong Qiangqiang: "I should be fine."
"Then let's get out of the car quickly," Dong Qiangqiang had never experienced a car accident before. He was worried that his car would explode or something like the movies. "Can the car doors on your side open?"
He endured the pain and loosened his seat belt. But no matter how hard he tried, he could not open his car door smoothly (he didn't have much strength at this time). In the end, he could only climb out of the car along the right door on Kalina's side with difficulty.
"We need to call an ambulance." Kalina calmly touched her body, "Did you see my cell phone?"
Dong Qiangqiang wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and handed over his phone: "Phone it with mine."
Kalina took the phone, but found that for some reason, Dong Qiangqiang's phone could not be turned on. She had to go back to the car and search for her phone among a pile of messy debris.
Taking advantage of the lack of Kalina's search for her phone in the car, Dong Qiangqiang quickly circled around the car.
He saw a deep pit on the left rear door, and at the same time, the cab door was also recessed, and the recessed door might have jammed his seat, so no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't open the left door. In addition to the deformation of the door, the paint on the body also fell off a lot. But except for the broken left door and front windshield, there were only slight scratches and dents in other parts of the car, and the whole car was not broken.
Only then did he notice that Kalina was driving a Volkswagen. It seemed that it was because the German car was strong, and both of them were wearing seat belts and protected by airbags, so neither he nor Kalina were seriously injured.
He suddenly remembered the two stocks of Volkswagen Company he bought. Could it be that there was God's will in his mind? Thinking of this, he immediately thanked God for his favor.
"Finished!" Kalina shouted at Dong Qiangqiang, "I'll call an ambulance now, don't stand stupidly. Go and see how the people in that car are doing." She waved her arm and signaled Dong Qiangqiang to come and take a look.
Dong Qiangqiang looked along her arm and saw half of the rear of the blue car exposed in a pile of trash cans more than ten meters away. He quickly limped towards the blue car.
The retelling of Che Lizi's second time was much more detailed than the first time. Zhang Yingfang listened very carefully and wrote one or two words from time to time, and the expression on her face became more and more serious.
Decades of sales experience and women's intuition tell her that the signing of Chelizi was extremely smooth. But for things that went too smoothly, Zhang Yingfang would always unconsciously doubt its authenticity. Especially for orders that did not bargain, were anxious to pick up the goods, and had a very small deposit, she would be very cautious.
It was approaching the end time of the first day of the exhibition. A wave of American tourists suddenly rushed in from the booth. Zhang Yingfang asked Che Lizi to greet customers first, while she sat in a corner of the booth and slowly stroked the points she thought were suspicious.
She remembered an order she got when she first attended the exhibition. The other party did not bargain like other customers, nor did she care about the goods. She didn't even bargain with the deposit amount, and she paid 10% of the contract amount happily. The customer only asked for two things: asked Zhang Yingfang to send the goods to the designated receiving port, and asked to pay by d/p.
The full English name of d/p payment is document against payment. Simply put, it means paying money with one hand and delivering the goods with the other hand.
Zhang Yingfang was not familiar with these at the time. After she sent the goods to the other party's designated port and notified that the other party had shipped the goods, the buyer began to find various excuses to delay payment time and not go to the port to pick up the goods. Zhang Yingfang, who was anxious, had no other choice but to urge the other party to pick up the goods as soon as possible. Finally, the country's customs confiscated and auctioned all the goods on the grounds that the goods were stuck in the port for more than 50 days. At this time, Zhang Yingfang suddenly discovered that the buyer actually had the right to subscribe according to the laws of the country. In the end, the batch of goods fell into the hands of the buyer at one-fifth of the original price.
Since then, she has set a rule for herself: no longer accept orders that use d/p payment, especially contracts for shipment to an international port. Although she also has many customers who still pay in d/p payment, most of them are old customers who have been working for more than 15 years.
The American left from booth a loudly. Zhang Yingfang looked at the tortured car Lizi and suddenly asked, "How many goods are Louis taking from booth a?"
Che Lizi hurriedly replied: "He didn't take it at all. He said he would go to the warehouse to pick up all the goods tonight."
"What time is it evening?"
"It was Zhang Yingfei who set it with him. I really don't know the specific time."
Zhang Yingfang asked the other service staff at the booth again, but no one knew when Zhang Yingfei and Louis ordered the delivery.
Zhang Yingfang immediately called Zhang Yingfei's cell phone and was about to ask him for more details. But to her surprise, Zhang Yingfei's cell phone turned off.
She thought for a moment, turned her head and asked Che Lizi: "Do you know the address of Louis Company?"
"I know." Che Lizi quickly handed Louis's business card to Zhang Yingfang.
After seeing the address on the business card, Zhang Yingfang immediately called her assistant: "Xiao Wu, I'll send you an address now. You can drive to Luxembourg immediately and call me immediately after finding this address."
Frankfurt is not far from Luxembourg, and it takes about three hours to drive.
Zhang Yingfang felt that this was not enough, so she called several domestic and foreign colleagues who had good relationships and asked them to help inquire about the situation of Louis's company.
At this time, in addition to competing for intuition and experience, we also have to competing for connections.
Just as she was calling, Che Lizi suddenly pointed at her hand, and she realized that there was a red mark on her thumb. She rubbed it with her hands, and it looked like the color of ink.
Zhang Yingfang decided to go and meet this Louis in person tonight. If the other party is really a liar, she would rather take the risk of breach of contract than supply the other party. After all, Mr. Zhang Quanfu is about to arrive in Germany, and she doesn't want any problems at this time.
After approaching the garbage dump, Dong Qiangqiang saw that the front part of the blue car had completely crashed, the front hood was deformed and the various threads and parts were scattered all over the ground. The front wheel on the right was lying on the ground, and there was a large area of wet liquid on the road, which smelled like gasoline.
It was similar to Dong Qiangqiang's car. The front windshield of the blue car was completely shattered, and a whole piece of the windshield hangs above the bridge. Dong Qiangqiang saw the severe collision marks and deformation outside the left door, and guessed that it might be caused by the blue car hitting the trash can.
Dong Qiangqiang looked at the front seat of the car and saw two white airbags blocking the faces of the driver and the co-pilot. Just as he was about to pull the car door, he heard Kalina's voice coming from behind: "How are they? The ambulance will arrive in a while."
Dong Qiangqiang pulled the car door twice but did not pull it. He immediately let go of the air in the airbags that were holding the two. When the airbags gradually faded, Dong Qiangqiang was surprised to find that the person sitting in the driver's position was his acquaintance.
Wu Xiaoxi.
Wu Xiaoxi's eyes were closed, his face was tilted palely on the driver's seat, his forehead, cheeks and corners of his mouth were covered with blood, and his expression looked very terrifying.
In the passenger seat, there is a young man who looks like he is also in a coma.
Kalina walked to Dong Qiangqiang's side, looked at Wu Xiaoxi, then looked at Dong Qiangqiang, and asked in confusion: "What are you looking at?"
"She... is my classmate." Dong Qiangqiang's voice trembled a little.
Kalina pointed to a car pattern on the door of the blue car and said, "This is the name of a driving school. She is learning to drive."
Dong Qiangqiang remembered the scene when he was taking the first aid class with Wu Xiaoxi. He didn't expect the two of them to meet in this situation. Without letting him think too much, Kalina immediately ordered: "Open the car door first. But don't touch them."
The door of the blue car was very tightly stuck, and the two of them tried hard but didn't even open it.
At this time, passing vehicles stopped by the roadside, and some men and women walked to the blue car with tools. With everyone's efforts, the doors on both sides of the blue car were removed.
