MTL - Rebirth of the Entrepreneurship Era-Chapter 10 Bucket of gold
Because there is no translation, what do these two foreigners come to Yingzhou want to do? Everyone is confused.
As for the two reporters who followed, it is actually an interview group of Yingzhou TV station running the news outside, usually running outside all day and night.
Yingyingzhou is a small place. Most of the half-hour news programs are watered. After all, there is no big news worth broadcasting, so it can only be counted.
Anything trivial, as long as reporters have heard about it, they have to take a shot in the past, so the threshold for news materials on TV is extremely low.
Which dog is lost, whose cat is on the roof, and which elementary school student picks up a wallet and sends it to the police station, reporters will come over to shoot a piece of material and then report on TV.
So, when the reporters heard that the Municipal Education Bureau had come to the two foreigners, they could not help but find them.
Both of them are thinking, in case foreign businessmen come to visit Yingzhou, isn't that a big news?
After all, this place in Yingzhou has not introduced any foreign businessmen in recent years.
But the two of them didn't expect to come along and found out that none of the people in the group could communicate with each other smoothly.
Not to mention the two reporters, the photojournalist reads a technical school, and only speaks Yes and No in English;
The reporter's education background is not high. He is a child of a TV station worker. He graduated from a junior college just last year. After graduation, his family arranged to work as a reporter at the TV station. He has always been a scumbag at school, so he never learned English at all.
As a result, the two reporters had no choice but to slap their heads and shoot. Like the leaders of the Education Bureau, they were waiting for the English teacher from Yingzhou No.1 Middle School.
However, the English teacher in Yingzhou No.1 Middle School couldn't wait to wait, which made the three waves at the scene a little impatient ...
While Thomas Lauter was doing nothing, he suddenly heard an authentic English spoken language, saying, "Hello sir, do you need a Chinese translator?"
Thomas Lauter heard this authentic English pronunciation, and he was very happy, and even subconsciously thought that this one who spoke to himself must be an Englishman.
But when he looked around, he found a Chinese teenager looking at himself with a smile.
I was talking about Xu Yiyang.
Thomas Lauter looked at Xu Yiyang and was instantly excited, saying, "My God, finally met someone who can communicate normally!"
He said, he walked in front of Xu Yiyang, shook hands with him forcefully, and looked expectantly: "Boy, can you do my translation?"
Xu Yiyang smiled and said, "Of course!"
Thomas Lauter said excitedly, "This is really great!"
Several members of the group, Mr. Cai, and two journalists beside him were stunned.
They had been worried that they could not communicate with foreigners. When they were anxious, they did not expect that a young man would suddenly emerge, speak a decent English, and chat happily with Thomas Lauter.
Thomas Lauter asked Xu Yiyang excitedly: "Boy, what's your name, please?"
Xu Yiyang said: "My name is Xu Yiyang."
"My name is Thomas Lauter, you can call me Thomas!"
I said, he asked again, "Xu, how much do you charge for translation? If possible, I want to hire you to do my translation!"
Xu Yiyang originally wanted to come out and pretend to take a chance to give himself some exposure, so he didn't even want to make his money.
But he also did not expect that this foreigner should take the initiative to pay himself.
After all, he is an international friend. He subconsciously wants to promote a hospitable style and refuse to pay.
But think of it for a long time!
I'm cleaner than my face. What kind of style do I have to develop such an opportunity to make money?
So, he looked at Thomas Lauter and the blond woman around him, and thought for a moment, and said, "Mr. Lauter, I have not done any translation, so I don't know the specific price. You can look at it and give it how much Row."
Xu Yiyang is actually a chicken thief.
The prices of Huaxia are very low these years, and the prices in Yingzhou are even lower. If you want to be a temporary translator, even in Yanjing and Zhonghai, is n’t it worth a few hundred dollars a day?
What's so interesting about a few hundred dollars? It is enough to pay back the debt owed to her sister.
Rather than letting the foreigner watch it for himself, it should be a little more than a few hundred yuan.
逸 Xu Yiyang has this confidence because he can see at a glance that the foreigner is a rich master.
多数 In 1999, most Yingzhou people have not seen any luxury products.
Although Xu Yiyang did not pursue these, after all, after experiencing various ears and ears of later generations, he naturally realized many brands of luxury goods.
Therefore, he has long discovered that these foreigners are famous brands from head to toe.
For example, Thomas Lauter, his coat is Zegna, the sweater inside is Armani, the leather shoes are Gucci, these are luxury brands.
I looked at his wife again. The windbreaker she wore was Burberry, and the silk scarf around her neck was McQueen. What's more, she also carried a Hermes bag.
Xu Yiyang feels that these two couples are so rich that they should not be too foolproof.
Sure enough, when Thomas Lauter heard that he had watched it, he took out his wallet on the spot, took out six 100 yuan denominations of foreign currency from it, and handed it to Xu Yiyang. If you do n’t have enough, you can talk. "
Xu Yiyang froze, thinking, isn't there a little more than 3,000 yuan? This foreigner is too generous, right?
Xu Yiyang couldn't help asking: "Mr. Lauter, do you give a lot ..."
Thomas Laut blurted out: "No no no! Not much! Your English level is great and it's totally worth the price!"
Xu Yiyang thought, since the other party is so persistent, then you should not be polite. The 600 German marks are the first bucket of gold after you are reborn!
As a result, he took the money generously and carefully packed it into the inner pocket of the down jacket.
Then he said to Thomas Lauter very seriously, "Mr. Lauter, from now on, I will be your Chinese translator."
Thomas Lauter hurriedly said to Xu Yiyang: "Xu, please tell them, I came to Yingzhou to fulfill my two grandfather's last wishes, one was to sprinkle some of his ashes into the Yellow River, and the other was to give him Yingzhou donated a sum of money, which was designated to be used only for education. "
"Okay." Xu Yiyang nodded, turned and said to the middle-aged official: "Hello, I'm a temporary translator for Mr. Thomas Lauter, he said ..."
Immediately, Xu Yiyang translated Thomas Lauter's words on the spot and translated them in real time.
大 His long translation ~ www.novelbuddy.com ~ There was no pause, and everyone listened to it.
If the content of the translation did not sound very reliable, the people present could not believe that this young man could really communicate with foreigners so easily.
局长 After hearing that, Director Cai made a sigh of relief, patted Xu Yiyang's shoulder, and said happily, "Boy, you are so timely!"
He said, he immediately said to the secretary following him, "Call the principal of a middle school and tell him not to send a teacher over."
His secretary hurriedly whispered, "Prior President Lin just called me back and said that someone had just set off."
Director Cai Cai frowned, and said, "When you use them, you can't get through them. What use is there now? Tell him and call me back!"
Although Director Cai's own basic English is almost zero, he can still see that Xu Yiyang's English level should be very high.
Otherwise, he would not be able to communicate with this foreigner so smoothly, and it would not be possible for the foreigner to immediately hire him to be an interpreter. After all, foreigners themselves recognize his level.
If you send a teacher to the middle school at this time, it will not only make a difference, but it may also be unsightly.
Secretary Wu took out an old Palm Zhongbao mobile phone and hurried to make a call.
Director Cai Cai looked at Xu Yiyang and asked curiously, "What's your name, boy?"
"Hello, Director Cai, my last name is Xu Yiyang."
Mr. Cai nodded and asked with a smile: "Boy, you must be a college student coming home for the winter vacation? Which prestigious university is you studying at?"
Xu Yiyang shook his head and said, "I am a student at Yingzhou No.1 Middle School."
"What? Are you a high school student?"
