Chapter 54 Vineyard Part 1
Thanks to the warm hospitality of the hotel hostess, Wang Hu slept well all night.
When I woke up in the morning, messy clothes were scattered all over the room, two red wine glasses were placed upright and upside down on the table by the window, and four red wine bottles were placed on the floor.
The balcony windows were open, and the wind blew up the translucent curtains, as if they were still recalling the battle last night.
Wang Hu moved his fair arm that was draped over his body, went to bed lightly, washed up, and packed his things. He folded four hundred euros and placed them on the bedside, then lowered his head and kissed the forehead of the woman who was still pretending to sleep, and finally carried the bag on her back.
Leave the building.
Originating from the historical palace and mistress culture, the French are famous all over the world for their romance and passion, but if you want to stay overnight... you have to pay extra.
Playing with you, shopping with you, tasting red wine, and you know, there is a hidden price tag. Whether it is expensive jewelry, or expensive red wine and flowers, it must have both style and price. In the end, this is basically the same
Small sum of cash.
The economic complementarity between Germany and France is very strong. Wang Hupao Transport has been to France many times, so he understands it quite well and respects the local culture.
What the French dislike the most are American tourists. They are rude, uneducated and self-centered. They are always self-righteous and think they can eat for free... They just want to eat.
*****
Not long after driving away from Rickwell, Wang Hu turned into a country road.
The road, which is hardened but not big enough for two cars to run parallel, leads to the depths of green. There are dense tree shades overhead, and beyond the trees are rolling hills and endless grape fields with lines and waves. Such a meandering and pleasant pastoral scenery bursts into view.
What Wang Hu wanted to do was to do something on this road where the satellites could not be seen.
If the big shots in photography and tourism find out, they will probably criticize Wang Hu for wasting away his natural resources. But Wang Hu will tell them that the pastoral scenery is just like that after seeing too much, and even... it's a bit annoying.
When he drove a heavy truck for a long distance, he looked at the scenery along the way and felt sleepy. There are still people who think that being a long-distance driver is a career suitable for people who like to travel? Oh, it will definitely destroy your hobby. This is just like people who like to play games going to games.
The company is like a test dog. After leaving the company, I can no longer experience the fun of games. I just want to sit in front of the computer with a smile and quietly hit the keyboard and mouse a few times.
After driving forward for a few kilometers, grape fields appeared repeatedly in the field of vision. Behind the grape fields, a beautiful farm finally appeared.
"Are you Frey? Wang Hu? It doesn't matter." The vineyard owner with a strong German accent took him into a garage. "The thing I regret most in my life is buying this truck."
He pushed the door open and turned on the lights, and a nearly brand-new MAN TGX Euro6 (Euro 6) truck appeared in sight.
"I like trucks and I also like wine. Unfortunately, I have hardly driven it since I bought it." The vineyard owner said looking at the truck with regret. "Someone from MAN contacted me and said that someone wanted to buy a similar truck.
...Look, I won't bother you. If you decide to buy it, you can modify it at my place after paying the deposit. I'll cover food, accommodation and wine, and I also have some materials stored next door..."
As he spoke, the owner of the vineyard left the garage sadly.
Seeing how well maintained this car is, you can tell that the owner really likes trucks and wine. The white wine produced by his winery is of excellent quality and has a certain reputation in the market. Therefore, the owner of the vineyard wants to "one-stop service"
"Service, wooden barrels are taken out from the winery cellar and delivered directly to your door, an absolutely authentic experience.
For this reason, he spent a lot of money to order a MAN truck and transformed it into an integrated, fully enclosed vehicle body that fully simulates the wine cellar environment (not a constant-temperature trailer). The idea was great, but then the financial crisis came... Anyway
The car that was smashed into my hands was left in the garage until today.
Heavy-duty trucks are not just sold, there is a lot of interior decoration and body modification business, and this is the bulk of the truck company's profits. Therefore, every truck company has a catalog in hand, which needs to be maintained.
Truck Checklist, the company knows the condition of your truck better than you.
Frederick contacted the farm owner through people within the MAN company, and quickly concluded the deal. The truck perfectly met Wang Hu's requirements, and he didn't even need to record it. He directly borrowed the farm owner's records.
After the owner left, Wang Hu opened the car door and looked into the cab first.
The steering wheel, dashboard, and seats are all spotless. Apparently they were covered with a cloth before, but they were lifted because someone bought it. The foam blocking the air-conditioning vents has not been removed. There are not many modifications in the car, and the floor and seat leather are all original.
, the reclining rear seats were transformed into double seats, and a silver metal door was opened next to it leading to the rear compartment.
Open and enter the rear compartment. There are four layers of hard compartments, sealed with constant temperature and air conditioning. Facing you are an aisle and two rows of large wooden racks on the left and right. There are grooves on the front and rear of the wooden racks on the two floors. At first glance, they are used to place barrels, layout and wine cellar.
Same. Wang Hu counted and found that 24 barrels could be placed in the front and back, and immediately shook his head.
This is simply an amateur. He will lose money if he runs a transportation business like this! Fortunately, the financial crisis has come, otherwise the car owner may not even be able to save his vineyard.
This is true. For a farmer like him who pursues stability, one impulse is enough. He must first buy a truck to explore the road. Due to the generally permeated literary and artistic atmosphere in Europe, his approach still has a certain market.
If wine in wooden barrels can be delivered to your home, the car owner can lean on the side of the truck and introduce professional knowledge in an unhurried tone. Even if it is just for the aroma of oak and the owner’s competent explanation, many people will not mind paying more.
A sum of money to pay for feelings.
Then it is about expanding the scale, hiring more drivers, buying more trucks, bank loans... all the way to bankruptcy. Because this is not a small market with expansion, not to mention the brand restriction of white wine, which is not the favorite of Asian rich people.
Drink 82 Lafite.
Wang Hu checked it from the outside to the inside and found that there was nothing wrong with the car, especially since the gearbox and engine had been replaced with top-of-the-range equipment. This perfectly demonstrated how a truck enthusiast who was not short of money wasted money.
As long as he updates the GPS navigation and removes the pile of wooden shelves in the rear compartment, this car will perfectly meet his needs.
After closing the cab door and locking the rear compartment door from the inside, Wang Hu took out something identical to a Siemens industrial monitor from his backpack.
Whether it is a hemispherical deep black plexiglass cover, a probe that can be flexibly rotated in multiple directions, or a square metal box base connected below. Even the blue-green "private emens" trademark printed on the surface is exactly the same.
When it comes to fraud, Wang Hu is serious.
Attach it to the roof of the cab and the magnetic base is firmly fixed on the roof.
"Integrity detector, start up," Wang Hu said.
With a long beep, the dark glass cover suddenly turned into a transparent blue. The inner surface is a probe and the device is essentially a ray beam generator. It emits a blue beam outward, targeting the entire truck very quickly.
Scan as a whole.
Like a sci-fi scene, a translucent blue truck image appears above the cab, which becomes complete as the scan continues.
Finally, with the second beep, the scanning ended, and the glass cover turned back to dark color. Only the holographic image of the truck remained. In addition to blue, there were dense red dots on it, and every part could be enlarged.
"Forty-seven leaks were found that need to be sealed. Please deal with them as soon as possible."
Sure enough, the testing was more stringent than expected. The leakage points on the carriage were reasonable, but "leakage points" were also detected on the engine. Even if the so-called leakage points were nanoscale, it was still unacceptable to a synthetic human like Wang Hu.
.
"Really, that's all it can do for civilian use." He picked up his cell phone and dialed Frederick's number, "Frey, there's nothing wrong with the stuff. Just pay for it."
Chapter completed!
