CHAPTER XV “BUSINESSMEN FROM GERMANY”
Merry Christmas! 2025!
Stefan: I can’t watch this anymore. Who filmed this series?
At this time, a terrible tragedy occurred in the series for European housewives “Titanic”. A head-on collision of cars at night on the highway. The man who was driving the car died instantly. The woman woke up in one of the European hospitals and realized that she had lost her child.
Stefan: He knelt down in front of Vanessa, who was sitting next to him on a leather peach chair. Darling, I am ready to do anything for you… Just not this series…
Vanessa: She spread her legs as wide as possible, and then placed her beautiful, thin-boned, miniature female foot on Stefan’s chest. At that moment, everyone in the cinema froze!
Suzanne: Wow! Wow! Wow! Vanessa, stop torturing the boy. Our hot Spanish thing…
Helen: You’ll quarrel again, Vanessa, that’s enough! Give him the remote!
Stefan turned his back to Vanessa and remained sitting on the floor between her legs, but at the same time received the remote control for the home theater.
Stefan: We need to find this movie, so one more thing. Yeah, somewhere around here…
Red: Kola Superdeep!
Stefan: Right. Right here, exactly! The fantastic movie “Kola Superdeep” came out this year and no one has seen it yet.
Red: Turn on the movie…
In our movie theater, everything calmed down a little after the sexual-erotic escapade of Vanessa, who liked to show off her hot southern temperament from time to time. The movie was great, but long. Around 04:00 in the morning, the girls went up to the second floor.
Stefan: We’ll finish watching the movie tomorrow.
Red: We had to leave for the dealer’s place by 09:00 or 09:30 to dump the goods.
Stefan: That’s it. We’ll finish watching tomorrow if we can. Let’s go to bed.
Stefan and I left the makeshift cinema on the first floor and went to the second floor, where there were two bedrooms.
Stefan: It looks like, Red, today we’ll both sleep in the second bedroom.
Red: Steph, let’s get closer to each other…
Stefan: No, they’ll definitely talk about France until the morning, what shops they’ll need to go to and visit, what they’ll need to buy for the trip… Yes, this women’s talk can go on forever!
Red: Stefan, let’s not disturb them. Let our girls immerse themselves in their erotic fantasies and thoughts about France.
Stefan and I were really tired. It had been a very hard day. We were falling off our feet. Of course, at times we were both still overcome by adrenaline jitters, but we had more or less calmed down. At 04:00 AM, our eyes were already closing on their own and we were drawn to sleep. So without unnecessary emotions, we fell onto the double bed and almost immediately fell asleep, driven out by our dear women.
Morning. Almost simultaneously, both Stefan and I had an alarm clock on our cell phones. The phone was melodiously issuing TAM-TRA-TARAM-PAM! I barely opened my eyes and stretched my right hand down, but I couldn’t reach it. I sat down on the bed. There it was, the cell phone lying on the floor under the bed. Stefan was still asleep and didn’t hear the alarm clock at all. It was time to get up.
Red: Stefan, wake up, but there was no reaction…
Red: Stefan, wake up and I leaned over the entire double bed and slapped Stefan’s shoulder several times with my palm.
Stefan: I opened my eyes and ran my hands over my sleepy face.
Stefan: Okay, okay. Yes, I’m getting up. Just don’t push me. Stefan’s face flashed a smile with a question mark, and where is Vanessa?
We started laughing like horses in the morning.
Red: Stefan, I’ll be here for Vanessa this morning!
We quickly got dressed. Washed up. The coffee machine gave us two coffees in the kitchen, which we quickly drank and went outside. We looked around. Everything was calm. Vanessa’s “PEUGEOT 3008” was standing in the same place where we parked it yesterday night and several other cars. In the morning the sun was flooding everything around with rays of sunshine. The sky was without a single cloud. It was important to finish our business as quickly as possible.
We got into the PEUGEOT 3008. Stefan pressed the start button. At that moment, I turned around in the passenger seat to look at our goods. I lifted the tarpaulin a little. All four aluminum kickstands were in the trunk in their place. We drove away from the townhouse where Vanessa lived, and then drove onto the main highway, which spiraled into the city. We disappeared into the early morning among the endless stream of cars in Frankfurt.
Stefan: Red, it’s still early. Helmut and I agreed that we would arrive after 10:00. We’re almost there. Let’s stop here at KFC. We’ll buy coffee and a couple of hamburgers.
Red: They have a big selection here. “Cheeseburger.” “Hamburger.” “Chefburger.” “Maestroburger.” “Frankfurtburger” etc.
Stefan: Red, what are you worrying about?
Stefan: I turned to the waitress who was serving us. Two coffees and two Chefburgers with the biggest piece of meat for the boy.
Stefan took a sip of hot and aromatic black coffee, which was very invigorating in the morning. I took my cell phone and dialed a phone number.
Stefan: Helmut, old man, hi, how are you?
Stefan: We’re already there. Close. Yeah! Right next door. Are you in the office?
Stefan: Come on! We’ll be there in about 20 minutes.
Stefan: Red, finish your Chefburger and let’s go!
We drove up to a three-story building, along which there were cars parked in several rows. We turned off the main road and found ourselves in a small courtyard behind the building, where there was no one. You could choose any car. Pay for it, get in and drive away. The sale and trade of cars in Frankfurt was in full swing.
In the morning there was practically no one. There were no extra eyes and witnesses. We stopped at the door that led us to Helmut’s office. We opened the trunk of the “PEUGEOT 3008” and pulled out all four aluminum kickers and went into the office, which was on the first floor.
We opened the door and entered a small office space, where Helmut had already been working since the morning. He was wearing transparent rectangular glasses, about 30 years old, in a denim shirt in the color of blue jeans and white Adidas sneakers, reading something or looking at something on an Apple laptop.
We walked closer to the table where Helmut was sitting and placed all four aluminum cases in a row next to the table. Helmut came up to us at this time. We greeted each other and shook hands in greeting.
Helmut: Stefan, open the cases. We’ll watch.
Stefan placed the aluminum case that was closest to him on the table and opened it.
Helmut began to carefully examine the contents of the aluminum case, and then sat back down at the table. He took out a sheet of white A4 paper, a blue ballpoint pen and an old, worn-out calculator. It was obvious that the reseller was constantly pressing the plus sign on the calculator, which undoubtedly made us happy. The final amount was growing. Helmut, from time to time, took out of the aluminum case:
-
front headlights;
-
multimedia system;
-
engine control unit;
-
computer control unit, etc.
After a moment, Helmut closed the aluminum pin and put it under the table. Stefan put the next aluminum pin on the table and opened it. Helmut worked like a German machine. Capitalist fury burned in his eyes. He had already calculated the profit he would receive from selling all these auto parts.
From time to time, Helmut looked for something in the laptop and long lists with numbers and names of auto parts ran down, and then he wrote something down again and added it on the calculator. More than 30 minutes had already passed. Stefan put the last aluminum pin on the table and opened it. Helmut continued his intense work. Helmut, like us, wanted to quickly complete our trade deal and finish with business.
About 10 more minutes passed. Helmut put the last aluminum pin under the table and now began to enter something, count and write on a piece of paper. It was obvious how concentrated and immersed he was in his work.
Without saying a word. The reseller brought both palms together in front of him, his fingers ran over the numbers on the calculator once more. He stood up from the table and came up to us, showed us the calculator. 19850. 19850 euros. Stefan nodded his head approvingly, which meant that we were happy with this amount. 19850 euros, WOW flashed through my mind, each of us would get almost 10k euros. Excellent. I was honestly surprised that the amount was so big. I thought that maybe we would get six or seven thousand euros for all this. Let it even be five thousand euros. 4000 euros would have been enough for our trip to France. That sound of WOW and once again WOW rang out in my mind! Everything around us immediately acquired some additional and incredible meaning. The world around us immediately changed and was filled with the colors of harmony and absolute happiness!
The dealer deftly pulled out a wad of banknotes from somewhere behind the table, removed the rubber band and counted out exactly 19,850 euros and handed them to Stefan. We said goodbye. Silently. Quietly, as we came, so we left without unnecessary words “Money loves silence.” We left the office. Got into the “PEUGEOT 3008”. Stefan counted out exactly half of the amount he had received from Helmut.
Stefan: Red, and you were worried… Don’t worry! I was worried like a girl. Although I myself was not sure of anything until the last moment.
Red: Stefan, everything is clear! Was worried, wasn’t worried… A nervous atmosphere. Everyone is on edge. Tension.
Stefan, in the end everything went exactly according to our plan! At that moment Stefan and I clapped our right hands. In the PEUGEOT 3008 salon there was a ringing sound from the clap of our palms. We shook hands firmly. Now we have become not only friends, but also accomplices. German businessmen. We have reached a new level of development!
Stefan: Let’s go. Aufiedersein, profiteers!
Stefan pressed the accelerator pedal to the floor and our French tank “PEUGEOT 3008” with a squeal of rubber flew out onto the main road. We drove slowly for some time in the flow of cars.
Red: Stefan, stop here. Yes, right at this store and I gestured to Stefan, to the flower shop.
Stefan: Red, our restless and emotional romantic. Where would we be without flowers? Stefan, smiled maliciously …
We parked the car at the side of the road and went to the store. The flower shop was simply huge and occupied almost the entire first floor. A huge selection. You could buy flowers in pots. Buy a palm tree. Some trees. Vases. Cabinets with vases. Everything in flowers. I needed to decide where in the store the roses were. I spent some time choosing roses and a florist came up to me. I liked the red roses. The florist asked: “How many?”…
Red: I didn’t understand her question.
Stefan turned to the florist: Let’s take this whole bucket of these red roses! Oh, and add these butterflies to the bouquet on plastic sticks. Our boy is into romance and has a very delicate nature. The florist smiled!
Red: Stefan, are you going to buy flowers for Vanessa, a bouquet?
Stefan: No, I won’t. She can do without!
Red: Let me buy a bouquet for Vanessa, and will you give them to her? Stefan: Red, you’re sweating it again… Okay! I’ll choose myself!
Stefan began to look at the large display case, which was filled with vases with endless rows of roses. Perhaps these, but it would be better if they made a beautiful bouquet. Yes, a beautiful flower arrangement!
Stefan: I turned to the florist in German and explained to her what roses should be and what a flower bouquet should be.
We waited and looked around the flower shop for a while, and then I had an idea to buy a pink elephant with a heart that said, “I love you.” Stefan, let’s buy this pink elephant and give it to Suzanne. We all tried to surround Suzanne with warmth, kindness, and care. Suzanne was from the USA. Idaho. She lost her parents early in tragic circumstances. Suzanne’s life was not easy. She studied at college. She worked hard to survive in this world. She had a tendency to nervous breakdowns because of this tragedy that happened to her parents in the USA.
Stefan: Great idea.
Red: Then let’s buy this big pink elephant with a red heart that says, “I love you” for Suzanne!
In the flower shop itself, there were already ready-made bouquets of different flowers, which were put together by florists. I liked the white lilies. And this bouquet of flowers made of white lilies. We’re buying!
Stefan: Red, all these insinuations with flowers and pink elephants won’t lead you to anything good!
Red: We’re going to France. We need to meet the stated female requirements. We need to convey all this deep and incomprehensible meaning of women’s desires to be in Paris. To be with them until the end. Stefan, who knows what will happen to us tomorrow?
We paid for our purchase at the flower shop and unexpectedly received a 20 percent discount!
Red: Stefan, let’s go to the trading floor. We need to return the sledgehammer, screwdriver and iron hammer before anyone notices they’re missing.
Stefan: Sure, let’s take it all and return it to its place.
We arrived at the trading floor and stopped at the garage where my uncle usually worked. The garage was open. I got out of the PEUGEOT 3008 and headed straight to the garage. There were big changes. The Toyota Prado was already on a synchronized two-post car lift and was hanging in the air. The wheels were removed and the front suspension was partially disassembled.
Red: Stefan, great news. The Toyota Prado is already on a two-post car lift.
Stefan: Here are the tools: a sledgehammer, an iron hammer and a screwdriver. Stefan was looking at the bottom of the Toyota Prado from below. Stefan: There is a lot of long work ahead.
Red: The most important thing is that the body of the Toyota Prado is intact and without damage, and everything else can be replaced and done!
Red: Uncle, most likely arrived at the trading platform early in the morning, probably somewhere here in the office or on the trading platform. At that time, I returned the sledgehammer, iron hammer and screwdriver to their place. Stefan, let’s stop by the office on the way and find out what’s what. We may need our help!
Stefan and I drove up to the office on the trading floor. Uncle and appraiser Wilhelm were drinking coffee and talking about current affairs. Two buyers were supposed to come today and pick up two cars. The documents for the sale of the cars were already ready. It was a good day in every sense. A day of sales and trade. I quickly walked into the office and greeted Uncle and Wilhelm. I asked: “Do you need our help with the Toyota Prado?” Perhaps you needed additional small spare parts? Uncle said that nothing else was needed and if Stefan and I were needed, he would call us.
Wilhelm: Red, would you like some coffee?
Red: We just had coffee with “Chefburger”!
Uncle: “Chefburger”, who is that?
Wilhelm: A bun with a piece of meat.
Uncle: Red, Stefan, you are free for now. Yes, if we need anything, I’ll call.
Red: Okay, we’ll go then.
Wilhelm: Good luck!
Red: See you! See you later! I left the office and got into the PEUGEOT 3008
Red: Stefan, let’s go to the townhouse. We’re free, we’re not needed yet.
Half an hour later, we pulled up to the townhouse where Vanessa lived.
Stefan: I’m telling you everything, that’s what we’ll do. They’re definitely still asleep, and if we have time, we’ll bring the flowers and the pink elephant straight into the bedroom. It will be a moment of shock or surprise for them in the morning, but we need to do it all without making a sound! There was complete silence on the air!
We got out of the PEUGEOT 3008. Stefan opened the door to the townhouse. I followed Stefan and carried three bouquets of flowers and a pink elephant. We very quietly went up to the second floor and found ourselves in front of the door that led to the bedroom. We stood and listened for a few minutes. Silence. It was clear that Vanessa, Helen, and Suzanne were still asleep. Stefan silently opened the bedroom door and crawled on all fours to the double bed where our women were sleeping and gave me a sign with his hand. I began to pass him bouquet after bouquet in turn, and he laid them on the wooden headboard at the very feet of our women. I handed Stefan, the last one left, a pink elephant, which he carefully placed in the corner of the bed, and then slowly and carefully began to crawl back to the door that led to the bedroom.
Stefan: Everything is ready! Stefan, brought his index finger to his lips, which meant not a single sound, and very carefully and almost silently closed the door to the bedroom.
We both went downstairs happy. Ahahaha. We could barely contain our laughter. Ahahaha, ha-ha-ha!
Stefan: That’s it, Red, quiet, and you were sweating… Don’t sweat it… Calm down! The most important thing here was to plant this morning time bomb correctly!
Red: At this time, in the kitchen, the coffee machine had already filled Stefan’s second mug with fresh and aromatic coffee.
Red: Here you go! I handed Stefan the mug of coffee.
Stefan: Let’s go to the cinema and finish watching the film “Kola Superdeep” - we just have time left to calmly finish watching this film. It will be fun!
To be continued…
