Chapter 157 It’s someone she doesn’t know again (3000 words long chapter)
Zhou Chenglei: “I know a little bit, but I want to go fishing.”
The unfinished meaning is that there is nothing Free time for translation.
Director Feng: "..."
A highly intellectual person who understands foreign languages refused to work as a translator in order to go fishing at sea?
What a waste!
Is there such a surplus of talent in the motherland?
Jiang Xia smiled and said: "Director Feng, can I know about the products of your factory at the exhibition?"
Director Feng was even more heartbroken, what a dedicated temporary translator!
Then Jiang Xia and Zhou Chenglei, accompanied by Director Feng, learned about all the products of the plastic factory.
When Jiang Xia saw something suitable, she asked Director Feng to buy a hundred food packaging bags to hold the small fish.
There happened to be a batch of packaging bags in the factory that were made to the wrong specifications. The customer asked for one-pound bags, but the workers directly made them into two-pound bags. The customer thought they were too big, so they didn't want them.
Director Feng gave all the more than two hundred packaging bags that were made in error to Jiang Xia.
Director Feng said: "You don't have a sealing machine. You have to pack it up and send it to me. I will have someone seal it for you."
Jiang Xia smiled and said: "Thank you Feng Director, don’t bother, I’ll just press it lightly with the hot wire.”
Director Feng thought about it for a moment and gave Jiang Xia a thumbs up: “Smart!”
He couldn't help but ask: "Really, you don't just work as a translator for our plastic factory? Two hundred yuan a day!"
When asked this question every once in a while, Jiang Xia smiled and shook his head: " No, I'll just get the cash! If Director Feng tastes the dried fish and thinks it's delicious, you can see if you need to order it in the canteen in your factory. If you need it, you can call me to order it. My family makes a living by fishing. "
Director Feng pretended to be angry: "If you don't work as a full-time translator for our factory, I won't order it for you! Come on..."
Jiang Xia couldn't help laughing.
Then Factory Manager Feng sent the two of them out of the factory in person, heartbroken, and made an appointment to meet at the Guangzhou Fair.
Fishing, fishing! If you are educated, wouldn’t it be good to join the socialist cause? What kind of fishing are you doing?
Director Feng was so angry that several hairs fell out and he looked smarter.
***
After leaving the plastic factory, Jiang Xia and Zhou Chenglei went to the city to eat a bowl of noodles, and then went to the next textile factory.
This time the tractor was not allowed in, so Zhou Chenglei could only wait for Jiang Xia outside.
Jiang Xia also sent some dried fish and small fish larvae to the factory director. These large factories have employee canteens and are all potential dried fish customers.
Because it was Editor Fan who introduced them, the director of the textile factory also personally received Jiang Xia and Zhou Chenglei.
The director of the textile factory is a woman, about the same age as Jiang's mother, named Peng Yuhua, a woman with a very strong and subjective personality.
She didn’t like Jiang Xia at first sight!
Most women who are too beautiful and have good family backgrounds are just superficial.
Of course she wouldn't show her dislike, she just smiled and asked Jiang Xia to introduce herself in English from the beginning.
After listening to Jiang Xia's self-introduction, Peng Yuhua changed his mind a little. His smile became more sincere and his tone became gentler: "Not bad, that's all. We'll ask you to translate for 25 yuan a day, for a total of about fifteen days."< br>
Jiang Xia smiled and said: "Director Peng, can I choose not to receive a salary of 25 yuan a day, but only a commission?"
Peng Yuhua was stunned for a moment: "What do you mean?"
Jiang Xia said again that he would only get a commission of 0.1% of the transaction amount.
Peng Yuhua frowned slightly and thought, let’s see!
Beautiful women are busy!
Either you serve beauty and do evil, or you rely on your talent and are arrogant!
No salary is required. Does she think she can negotiate a big deal and get more commission than her salary of 25 yuan a day?
But Peng Yuhua wanted to hire a full-time translator instead of a part-time translator, but he thought that more than one translator might be needed during the Canton Fair. Hiring two would be too expensive. Jiangxia does not require salary and only gets commission after negotiation. In fact, that's fine.
Peng Yuhua mentally calculated how much the 0.1% commission would be.
Then after a calculation, I found that the commission is only 10 yuan for the transaction of 10,000 yuan, and the commission is only 100 yuan for the transaction of 100,000 yuan.
If a part-time worker like her could negotiate an order of more than 100,000 yuan for the factory, that would be great!
"Okay! Then it will be as you said. Only commission will be given, no salary."
Jiang Xia said again: "Director Peng, do you have any fabric samples? I want to know about it first. Products from your factory.”
Peng Yuhua didn’t expect that a part-time translator would be so serious, so he asked someone to give her a copy of the color cards for each fabric panel at the Guangzhou Fair.
Jiang Xia looked through the cloth color cards. There were fine fabrics, suit fabrics, silks, and of course cottons of various colors.
Jiang Xia: "Is there a process description?"
"Yes." Peng Yuhua asked his assistant to give Jiang Xia a process description of the fabrics specially compiled for the Guangzhou Fair. share.
Jiang Xia asked again: "Can I take these back to see?"
She has to rush to the next house and doesn't have much time to spend here.
“Okay!”
So Jiang Xia left with those cloth color cards and process instructions.
After Jiang Xia and Zhou Chenglei left, Peng Yuhua said to his assistant: "Hire another translator."
The assistant knew that Peng Yuhua disliked beautiful women, so he said: "This This lesbian seems to have a very serious attitude towards work and speaks fluent English!”
Peng Yuhua pursed her lips: “We’ll find out later whether she’s serious or not”
To be honest, Peng Yuhua was so impressed by Jiang Xia. I was surprised by my serious attitude, but I pretended to be really serious, and I wouldn't know until then.
She never jumps to conclusions easily.
She gave the dried fish and small fish larvae sent by Jiang Xia to her assistant: "Take these small fish larvae and eat them! Send the dried fish to the canteen to add food to everyone."***
The next stop was to go to the food factory, but before going to the food factory, Jiang Xia first went to the publishing house and sent over a translated French book, a magazine, and a hundred pounds of dried fish.
Jiang Xia also gave Chief Editor Fan three jars and five kilograms of small fish larvae to thank her for introducing her to the translation work.
Editor Fan smiled and asked her which factory she chose.
Jiang Xia smiled and said: "There are options. I don't want a fixed salary, just a commission."
"Commission?"
Jiang Xia briefly explained: "There is no salary. , you will get commission only after the negotiation is completed. I don’t know if it can be negotiated, so I should try it out."
Editor Fan understood it and gave a thumbs up: "This is good, more work, more reward. With your ability, you will definitely get more than the fixed salary for a day."
Jiang Xia smiled, exchanged a few words with Editor Fan, and went to the finance department to settle the bill.
After Jiang Xia left Editor Fan’s office, Editor Fan received a call from the textile factory. She couldn’t find a better translator than Jiang Xia. Thinking that Wen Wan’s English was also good, she recommended her .
When he went to the finance department to check out, Jiang Xia also presented a jar of sweet and sour fish roe. These are potential customers in the future.
Snacks are always indispensable in the office.
The people from the finance department settled the money for Jiang Xia. After Jiang Xia left the office, he couldn't help but said: "This is the first time I have paid someone for a translation and also settled the money for selling dried fish at the same time!"
Selling dried fish? Is this really the leader's daughter?
But these little fish larvae are so delicious and fragrant!
In one fell swoop, several employees from the finance department ate most of the jar.
Someone said: "It is smart to eat more fish. My children usually don't like to eat fish. They must like to eat this small dried fish. I wonder if Comrade Jiangxia sells it?"
"Ask next time I asked her, it’s so delicious, I’ll buy some to take home for my children.”
“My mother loves eating little fish, so I’ll buy some too and take it back to her during the Mid-Autumn Festival.”
< br>Next stop, food factory.
When he went to the food factory, Jiangxia didn't give him the small fish he made himself, but only gave him a bag of dried fish.
The purpose is naturally to let the other party know that her family is a fisherman. If she needs to purchase any fish as raw materials, she can contact them then.
The big ship is about to be delivered. Then we can go fishing in the open sea and catch more fish.
If you sell fish directly to a food factory, the price will naturally be higher. It is also cheaper for the food factory to get the goods from them than from the dealer. After all, there is no middleman to make the difference or charge commission.
This time the tractor also drove into the factory, when Jiang Xia and Zhou Chenglei walked into the factory director's office.
The director of the food factory is a middle-aged aunt. When she saw Jiang Xia, she smiled kindly and said, "Xia Xia, I knew Editor Fan was talking about you."
Jiang Xia: "..."
She knows her again, but she doesn’t know her people!
She subconsciously looked at Zhou Chenglei, and Zhou Chenglei looked at her.
Jiangxia: "..."
Jiang Xia could only smile and say: "Aunt Fang."
Fortunately, she asked the guard what the factory director's last name was!
Zhou Chenglei had never seen Fang Aiyuan, so he said: "Director Fang."
"Why are you so polite? Just call me aunt like Xia Xia, sit down!"
Fang Aiyuan smiled and asked the two of them to sit down, poured them a cup of tea, and then said to Jiang Xia with a smile: "You work as a translator for a food factory. Auntie, I'm not worried about it. Just pay 150 yuan a day." ?”
Jiang Xia smiled and said the commission again.
Fang Aiyuan heard this and smiled and said: "It's no good if we don't pay wages. Let's calculate it as one hundred yuan a day, and then calculate the commission."
The turnover of the food factory can reach 100,000 yuan. Not bad, but for a turnover of 100,000 yuan, the commission is only 100 yuan.
She was really embarrassed to give it then!
She knows Jiang's mother, and Jiang Xia and her son are classmates. She has watched Jiang Xia grow up, so how can she have the nerve to take advantage of Jiang Xia?
Jiang Xia refused: "Aunt Fang, because I have agreed to be a part-time translator for other factories, and I can't work as a translator for the food factory all day, so I really don't need to pay a salary, just count it as a commission."
Jiang Xia How can I be embarrassed to accept it for a day? She doesn't help the food factory all day long.
Fang Aiyuan: "Okay, as long as you work as a translator for the food factory, that day will be counted as one day's salary and the commission will be counted, so don't argue with me!"
Jiang Xia also said Nothing more to say, we’ll figure it out later.
When leaving, Fang Aiyuan had several boxes of food moved to the tractor, saying they were for her to try and let her understand the products.
Jiang Xia was embarrassed.
Fang Aiyuan smiled and said: "Try it well and give me some advice. Then we can help our food factory get more orders!"
Jiang Xia responded with a smile: "Aunt Fang, that Sui See you later, let's go first."
Fang Aiyuan smiled and nodded: "See you in Suijiao, Jingxuan also said that he will also help translate."
Zhou Chenglei stiffened.
Jiang Xia is confused!
Who is Jingxuan?
I saw everyone leaving messages saying more updates, and more updates today.
Thank you for your support!
