A column of blood slowly flowed down Dong Qiangqiang's temple, and a regular "beep" sound reached his ears. As he pressed against the airbag, he felt that the sound was getting louder and louder, as if it was coming from under the hood of his car. He finally slowly opened his eyes.
He saw a huge inflated airbag in front of him pressing against his front. He tried to pull himself out from under the air bag, but the pressure of the air bag was so strong that he tried several times without success.
He remembered that Karina once said that airbags are disposable products and there is no need to consider recycling. So I groped for a long time on the air bag with my hands covered with blood, tremblingly, before I found the vent. He pulled with all his strength, and the air in the airbag immediately leaked out.
As the airbag slowly shrunk, Dong Qiangqiang saw that half of the car's front windshield was hanging on the window frame. The dense cracks obscured his sight, and the other half fell all over the car, but because it was It was made of tempered material, so the broken glass was only small round pieces and did not scratch Dong Qiangqiang and Karina.
Looking through the area without a windshield, Dong Qiangqiang discovered that the location where the two cars collided was very remote, and no vehicles were seen passing by in several directions on the road.
He turned to look at Karina next to him and saw that she was also pressed against the seat by an inflated white airbag. He followed his example to free her from the airbag and gently shook her arm. After a long time, he heard Karina let out a sigh of relief: "Oh my God!"
"Your forehead is bleeding." Dong Qiangqiang said with concern, regardless of his own pain.
Karina heard this and quickly wiped it with her hand, then carefully touched her forehead, and said calmly: "It's okay, this is for the airbag to deploy." She covered her chest and added: "Fortunately, I put it on seat belt."
In Germany, the front passenger must also wear a seat belt.
Karina took a quick look around herself and found that she had luckily only scratched her skin. She tried moving her wrists and ankles again, and found that they were able to move fairly freely. She nodded to Dong Qiangqiang: "I should be fine."
"Then let's get out of the car quickly." Dong Qiangqiang has never experienced a car accident before, and he is very worried that his car will explode and cause a secondary disaster like in the movie. "Can you open the door over there?"
He endured the pain and loosened his seat belt. But no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't open his car door smoothly (he didn't have much strength at this time). In the end, I could only climb out of the car with difficulty along the right door on Karina's side.
"We need to call an ambulance." Karina calmly touched herself, "Have you seen my mobile phone?"
Dong Qiangqiang wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and handed over his mobile phone: "Use mine."
Karina took the phone, but found that for some unknown reason, Dong Qiangqiang's phone could not be turned on. She had no choice but to return to the car and rummage through the mess for her cell phone.
While Karina was looking for her phone in the car, Dong Qiangqiang quickly circled around the car.
He saw a deep hole in the left rear door, and the driver's door was also recessed. The recessed door might have blocked his seat, so no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't open the left side door. car door. In addition to the deformation of the door, a lot of paint on the body has also fallen off. But apart from the broken left door and front windshield, there were only minor scratches and dents in other parts of the car, and the entire car was not torn apart.
Only then did he notice that Karina was driving a Volkswagen. It seemed that because the German car was strong, and both of them were wearing seat belts and protected by airbags, neither he nor Karina were seriously injured.
He suddenly remembered the two shares of Volkswagen that he bought. Could it be that there was some divine will? Thinking of this, he immediately thanked God in his heart for his favor.
"Found it!" Karina shouted to Dong Qiangqiang, "I'm calling an ambulance now, don't just stand there stupidly. Go and see how the people in that car are doing." She waved her arm to signal. Dong Qiangqiang hurried over to take a look.
Dong Qiangqiang looked along her arm and saw half of the blue car's rear end exposed in a pile of trash cans more than ten meters away. He limped quickly and ran towards the blue car.
Che Lizi's second retelling was much more detailed than the first. Zhang Yingfang listened very carefully, writing down one or two words from time to time, and the expression on her face became more and more solemn.
Decades of sales experience and a woman’s intuition told her that Che Lizi’s signing went extremely smoothly. But for things that go too smoothly, Zhang Yingfang will always doubt its authenticity unconsciously. She will be particularly cautious when it comes to large-volume purchases where she neither bargains nor is in a hurry to pick up the goods, and the deposit is very small.
It was already approaching the end of the first day of the exhibition, and suddenly another wave of American visitors came into booth a. Zhang Yingfang asked Che Lizi to greet the customers first, while she sat in a corner of the booth and slowly touched the spots that she found suspicious.
She remembered an order she got when she first attended an exhibition. The other party didn't bargain on the price like other customers, and didn't care about the condition of the goods. They didn't even bargain over the amount of the deposit, and simply paid the contract amount. 10, and the customer only asked for two things: to have Zhang Yingfang send the goods to the designated receiving port, and to pay by d/p.
The full English name of d/p payment is dent agat payent. Simply put, it means paying with one hand and delivering the goods with the other.
Zhang Yingfang was not familiar with these at the time. After she sent the goods to the port designated by the other party and informed the other party that she had shipped the goods, the buyer began to find various excuses to delay payment and not go to the port to pick up the goods. The anxious Zhang Yingfang had no choice but to urge the other party to pick up the goods and pay as soon as possible. Finally, the country's customs confiscated and auctioned all the goods on the grounds that the goods had been detained in the port for more than 50 days. Only then did Zhang Yingfang suddenly discover that the buyer actually had the right of first refusal according to the country's law. In the end, the goods fell into the hands of buyers at one-fifth of the original price.
Since then, she has set a rule for herself: she will no longer accept orders with d/p payment, especially contracts for shipment to an international port. Although she also has many clients who still pay on a d/p basis, most of them are old clients who have been with her for more than fifteen years.
The Americans left Booth A with loud noises. Zhang Yingfang looked at Che Lizi who was exhausted and tortured, and suddenly asked: "How many goods did Louis take from Booth A?"
Che Lizi quickly replied: "He didn't take any. He said he would go directly to the warehouse to pick up all the goods in the evening."
"What time is it tonight?"
"It was decided by Mr. Zhang Yingfei. I really don't know the specific time."
Zhang Yingfang asked other service staff in the booth, but no one knew what time Zhang Yingfei and Louis had scheduled delivery.
Zhang Yingfang immediately called Zhang Yingfei's mobile phone, preparing to ask him for more details. But what surprised her was that Zhang Yingfei's cell phone was turned off.
She thought for a moment, then turned to Che Lizi and asked, "Do you know the address of Lewis's company?"
"I know." Che Lizi quickly handed Louis' business card to Zhang Yingfang.
After seeing the address on the business card, Zhang Yingfang immediately called her assistant: "Xiao Wu, I will send you an address now. You can drive to Luxembourg immediately and call me as soon as you find the address."
Frankfurt is not far from Luxembourg, it takes about three hours to drive.
Zhang Yingfang felt that this was not enough, so she called several domestic and foreign colleagues with whom she had good relationships and asked them to help inquire about the company Louis.
At this time, in addition to intuition and experience, you also need to fight for connections.
While she was on the phone, Che Lizi suddenly pointed at her hand, and she discovered that there was a red mark on her thumb. She rubbed it with her hand, and it looked like the color of ink pad.
Zhang Yingfang decided to meet Louis in person tonight. If the other party is really a liar, then she would rather risk breach of contract than supply goods to the other party. After all, Mr. Zhang Quanfu was going to Germany soon, and she didn't want anything to go wrong at this time.
After approaching the garbage pile, Dong Qiangqiang saw that the front part of the blue car had been completely destroyed, the front hood was deformed and stood up, various threads and parts were scattered on the ground, the right front wheel was lying on the ground, and there was another wheel on the road. Large swaths of wet liquid that smelled a lot like gasoline.
Similar to Dong Qiangqiang's car, the front windshield of the blue car was completely shattered, and a whole piece of windshield hung precariously above the driver's seat. Dong Qiangqiang saw serious impact marks and deformation on the outside of the left door, and guessed it might have been caused when the blue car hit the trash can.
Dong Qiangqiang looked towards the front seat of the car and saw two white airbags blocking the faces of the driver and co-pilot. Just as he was about to pull the door, he heard Karina's voice coming from behind: "How are they? Got it? The ambulance will be here in a moment."
Dong Qiangqiang pulled the door hard twice but failed to do so. He immediately deflated the airbags that were holding the two of them. When the air bag gradually deflated, Dong Qiangqiang was surprised to find that the person sitting in the driver's seat turned out to be an acquaintance of his.
Wu Xiaoxi.
Wu Xiaoxi's eyes were closed tightly, and he was slumped in the driver's seat with a pale face. There were blood stains on his forehead, cheeks and corners of his mouth, and he looked very scary.
In the passenger seat was a young-looking man, but he seemed to have fallen into some kind of coma.
Karina walked up to Dong Qiangqiang, looked at Wu Xiaoxi, then at Dong Qiangqiang, and asked doubtfully: "What are you looking at?"
"She... is my classmate." Dong Qiangqiang's voice was trembling.
Karina pointed to a car pattern on the door of the blue car and said: "This is the name of a driving school. She is also learning to drive."
Dong Qiangqiang remembered the first aid class with Wu Xiaoxi. He did not expect that the two would meet under such circumstances. Without allowing him to think too much, Karina immediately ordered: "Open the car door first. But don't touch them."
The door of the blue car was stuck tightly, and the two of them tried their best to open it.
At this time, a passing vehicle stopped on the side of the road, 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.
The traffic police and the ambulance arrived at the scene almost at the same time. Under the flashing blue and red lights, Dong Qiangqiang watched Wu Xiaoxi lying peacefully on the stretcher and being loaded into the ambulance.
