"What's the special story about this watch?" The children were extremely happy and squeezed to Li Du, surrounding him, staring at Li Du like a hungry puppy looking at the flesh and bones, waiting for him to tell the story.

Li Du smiled and said, "Do you know about World War II?"

The children nodded one after another: "The evil war started by Nazi Germany and the Crazy Japanese Army. My grandfather's father participated in it. He was the navy and fought the Japanese Navy ship. I am Chinese, and my parents told me that it was the worst war!"

Li Du nodded, saying: "During World War II, Rolex has gained considerable reputation, and RAF pilots have purchased Rolex to replace watches with insufficient accuracy."

"However, when they were arrested and sent to the prisoner-of-war camp, all the watches were confiscated. But many people hoped that they would still have a watch. Around 1942, a British pilot was shot down during an air strike. After he was captured, he was placed in the third prisoner-of-war camp. He then booked a chronograph from Rolex and expressed his dissatisfaction with the German army for confiscating his own watch."

"When Hans Wellsdorf, the founder of Rolex, heard about this, he proposed that he could replace confiscated watches for officers in prison camps, without paying until the end of the war."

"Do you know what this means?" Li Du asked.

Victoria said positively: "It is Rolex that can be used for free for British pilot watches. This is the compensation he made for pilots as a German, right?"

Li Du nodded: "Yes, and there is another implicit meaning in this president's approach, that is, he is not optimistic about Germany's ability to win this war. He believes that the Allies will eventually win. In fact, this is a kind of businessman's investment."

"After this incident, some British officers explained to Wellsdorf in the form of letters which prisoner-of-war camp they were detained and how Rolex was confiscated."

"No other evidence is needed, President Welsdorf said he fully believes in the words of British officers in the letters, and the words on the letters are reliable evidence, as reliable as British bonds."

"In this way, everyone who sent the letter to order was given a Rolex 3525 watch, a limited-grade modified 3525 watch specially produced for pilots."

"But that was during the war, and Rolex did this to be an enemy, so it was not easy to deliver every watch. However, Rolex showed extraordinary dedication to these customers, and all orders were followed up with the autograph of Hans-Wilsdorf."

"What made this watch truly famous is about to happen. It was March 10, 1943, when a British pilot named Clive Nadine ordered a stainless steel Rolex from Wellsdorf..."

Hearing this, a teacher in his fifties smiled and said, "Ah, I understand, this is indeed a big event, the victory escape is about to begin!"

Li Du nodded and smiled at him, saying, "Yes, the watch ordered by this corporal is 3525, because it is made of steel, hard and reliable, and is equipped with the famous valjoux23 chronograph movement inside and is equipped with a radium luminous dial, which can be used at night."

"The price of this watch is quite high. Nadine is planning to use the money earned by being a shoemaker in a prisoner's camp to pay for the purchase of Rolex. On July 3 of the same year, a Rolex was sent to the prisoner's camp. The president of Wellsdorf also wrote a note to Nadine, telling him that British gentlemen like Nadine did not have to worry about paying for the watch, and everything would be discussed after the war."

A child with a parent who is a businessman couldn't help but exclaim: "This is a courageous president, he did something amazing."

Li Du smiled slightly and continued: "As I said just now, this watch is extraordinary. It is more accurate, can be used at night, and it is sturdy and durable. The reason for such a watch is that Corporal Nadine planned an escape plan and escape from the prisoner-of-war camp!"

"This Rolex is used to count the patrol schedule for the Great Escape, and it is used to calculate the timetable for prison guards and the time it takes to pass through the tunnel on March 24, 1944."

"In fact, after the escape plan was formulated, over the past few months, 600 prisoners dug three escape tunnels, one was useless and the other was discovered by German guards. Only one tunnel called "Harry" was completed in March 1944."

"On that moonlight night, they started to operate. The pilots lined up and passed through the tunnel one by one in silence, hoping that 200 people would return to their hometowns through occupied Europe."

"The order of escape was decided by lottery, and the corporal drew 67, but unfortunately, the escape was spotted by the guards and the tunnel was closed, and in the end there was only a small part, not including the brave corporal."

"The occurrence of this escape made Hitler very angry. He ordered the execution of a group of people, including Corporal Nadine, who was the leader..."

Hearing this, some children couldn't help but burst into tears.

Li Du did not continue to say that, he touched the hair of the children around him, handed the watch to them, and let them watch one by one, and then said: "This is the legend of the prisoner of war watch. This watch is not only a timer tool, but also the responsibility of a business tycoon and the determination of a group of warriors who yearn for freedom!"

"Long live freedom, my children!"

A group of children followed and shouted: "Long live freedom!"

Principal Kane took the teachers and parents to applaud, and his eyes looked at Li Du with great appreciation.

I took the children to clean up the warehouse and played games in the afternoon. Even if this one-day social practice activity ended, Li Du was very busy.

Finally, all the students were sent to the school. Li Du sighed and said to the principal: "Fortunately, I will live up to the mission."

Principal Kane exclaimed: "More than that, you performed so well, you know too much, who did you learn so much from?"

Li Du smiled and said, "I learned from one of my partners, but he is no longer here."

The principal hurriedly apologized: "Sorry, I mentioned your sad things. May God bless him and may he be happy in heaven..."

Li Du looked dull: "Uh, I mean he is no longer in this industry. He is not dead. He just got married and lived well."

headmaster:"……"

What happened today made him feel full of emotion. He brought his children to the warehousing and auction industry, just like Hans took him to the auction for the first time.

Everything seemed like yesterday. He turned around and seemed to see the figure of the man sitting in front of Hannah's small building like a gangster with his legs spread out.

But this is not yesterday, it was many years ago.
