"Thank you so much, Mr. Bao!"

"Director Lu is too polite, this is actually a great favor from you, we should say thank you. ”

"Mr. Bao offers such good conditions, you can find any research institute. Bao is always able to take care of our design office, which is a great support for us. ”

"Supporting the country's nuclear power construction is also the obligation of our enterprises. ”

"Mr. Bao's high style and brightness are worth learning from all enterprises, and when we write report materials in the future, we will definitely write this point on it, so that the central leaders know Mr. Bao's name. ”

"Hehehehe, then there is no need, when our country's own state-of-the-art nuclear power plant is completed, I will be allowed to attend the ceremony, and I will be satisfied. ”

"Be sure to leave you the best spot!"

"It's a deal!"

Speaking all kinds of fancy and polite words, Lu Ming, director of the third-generation reactor design office of the State Nuclear Corporation, shook hands with Bao Chengming, general manager of Chenyu Commercial Information Company, and then led Feng Lintao, who came with him, to the bus stop across the road. He couldn't wait, and wanted to rush back to the unit as soon as possible to inform all his subordinates of this great good news, so that everyone could share this joy together.

Yesterday, Feng Lintao came to report to Lu Ming, saying that he had contacted an information company headquartered in Pujiang City through a relative, and the other party was interested in asking the design studio to do some translation work of foreign literature, and was willing to pay a relatively high honorarium. Lu Ming was a little skeptical about the news, and he just listened to the so-called high honorarium, and he didn't take it seriously. How high can it be, 1,000 yuan, or 2,000 yuan, for a design studio with more than 40 employees, it is better than nothing.

However, since there is business, Lu Ming can't turn him away, and it just so happens that he is a little empty today, so he personally took Feng Lintao to the Beijing branch of this Chenyu Information Company and met Bao Chengming, the general manager of the company.

Bao Chengming didn't go around in circles with Lu Ming too much, but put forward his needs directly. He said his company collects all kinds of business intelligence, including information related to nuclear power. Since there were no experts in nuclear power in the society, I was introduced to the National Nuclear Corporation and contacted the National Nuclear Corporation in the hope of getting some support.

"A lot of technical information about nuclear power is confidential, so Mr. Bao should know this, right?" Lu Ming reminded.

"Yes, totally aware. Bao Chengming replied, "What we want to ask Director Lu to help collect is all foreign intelligence, and it definitely does not involve our country's own nuclear power intelligence." ”

"What is the source of information? If it is foreign intelligence that our nuclear company has, it also has a certain level of secrecy. Lu Ming said again. Secrecy is the discipline of the nuclear industry system, and no matter how much Lu Ming wants to make money, he does not dare to sell secrets in exchange for money.

Bao Chengming said with a smile: "Director Lu misunderstood, we are a commercial intelligence company, not a commercial espionage company, so the intelligence we collect must be available through open channels." Let's put it this way, we would like to ask you to help us translate some foreign publications related to nuclear power technology, including some professional journals, etc., and we will pay you according to the translation fee. ”

"That's fine. Lu Ming nodded, "There are also some foreign professional journals in the reference room of our unit, which are public publications and do not involve confidentiality issues. We also have to look at these materials ourselves, and by the way, we can translate them and provide them to Mr. Bao. However, due to financial problems, the number of foreign journals ordered by our reference room is limited, and there is no way to do some of the journals that we have not subscribed. ”

"We can pay for this. Bao Chengming has done enough to be a big boss, "As long as it is a valuable journal, if you don't subscribe there, we will pay for it, and put it in your place, and you just need to translate the useful content for us." ”

"Really?" Lu Ming's eyes widened, and there was a burst of ecstasy in his heart. You know, subscribing to foreign journals is expensive and requires the payment of valuable foreign currency. Although the State Nuclear Corporation is a national brand, the foreign exchange that can be used is also very limited, and the company reference room can only subscribe to seven or eight of the dozens of important foreign periodicals listed by the design office. Sometimes, in order to find an article, the engineers in the design office have to write letters to their classmates and friends abroad, ask them to copy it in the library abroad, and then send it back to China.

If, as Bao Chengming said, they are willing to pay for a subscription to a journal, and the ordered journal can be kept in the design room, it will be a relief in disguise. Even if you ask them to translate some materials for free, I'm afraid no one will object.

"Our company also does some foreign business, and the foreign exchange is still relatively abundant. Within the range of $10,000 or $20,000 a year, Director Lu only needs to make a list of books, and we can take care of the order. Bao Chengming said.

This is something other than Feng Xiaochen's idea to Feng Lintao, and it was added by Feng Lintao himself. In fact, due to the incomplete periodicals in the company's reference room, Feng Lintao privately ordered more than a dozen foreign periodicals, but he did not dare to share them with other colleagues. The annual subscription fee for a journal is several hundred dollars, which is one or two thousand yuan when converted into RMB.

Now it's easy to do, with the banner of Bao Chengming, Feng Lintao can say that the journal he ordered was ordered by Chenyu Information Company, and then take it to the design studio generously. He knows that these journals are of great help to his colleagues.

"In terms of translation fees, we consider it this way, according to the calculation of 20 yuan per thousand words, you provide us with 1 million words of translation every month, we pay you 20,000 yuan for translation, and sign a one-year contract for the time being, what does Director Lu think?" Bao Chengming continued.

"20,000 yuan a month!" Lu Ming almost stood up, but fortunately there were still some remnants of reserve, so that he could still sit on the sofa. However, his lips trembled visibly, and he couldn't speak.

20,000 yuan per month, sign a one-year contract, this is a full 240,000 yuan business. It was distributed to more than 40 people in the room, and each person had as much as 5,000 yuan. In 1993, the monthly salary of an ordinary employee of a state-owned unit was about 300 yuan, which was less than 4,000 yuan for the whole year.

As for 1 million translations per month, it sounds like a lot, but more than 40 people are allotted, and each person has more than 20,000 words per month. Translating foreign language literature is quite difficult for laymen, and for these technicians who have been working with foreign language literature for many years, isn't it just a matter of piggybacking? Even if there is no such business, everyone usually has to read the literature, and it is very common to extract one or two thousand words a day. If you do it as a task, you can translate 1,000 words in a maximum of one hour a day, even if you only work on a working day.

The question is, how did this pie-in-the-sky thing fall on the head of the heap design office?

Thinking of this, Lu Ming couldn't help but turn his head to look at Feng Lintao. He understands that this must be Feng Lintao's very strong relationship to be able to get such a good business. The conditions offered by the other party are almost giving money to themselves, because even if they lower the price to one-third, there will be countless institutions like the heap design studio to grab it.

However, although he understood this, Lu Ming did not refuse Bao Chengming's conditions in the end, no matter what reason the other party came to help them, as the director of the design office, it was impossible for him to refuse, otherwise he would stand on the opposite side of all the staff of the design office. Lu Ming is also a person with a bit of social experience, and he knows that there are many rich companies nowadays, and if he can find a relationship, it is normal for these companies to contribute some money to sponsor. In the final analysis, the biggest contributor to this matter is Feng Lintao, as for whose relationship Feng Lintao has found, Lu Ming is not suitable to inquire.

"Xiao Feng, you have made a great contribution to our design office this time. ”

When standing at the bus stop and waiting for the bus, Lu Ming couldn't suppress the excitement in his heart and said to Feng Lintao.

Feng Lintao smiled slightly and said, "Director Lu, look at what you said, I am also a member of the design office, and I should contribute something to the design office." ”

"By the way, you and Mr. Bao, did you know each other?"

"That's not it, I also met Mr. Bao through introduction. ”

"Xiao Feng, you know, our design office has an internal rule for revenue generation, that is, the person who introduces the business, the design office will give a 5% rebate on the business amount. Now we have signed a contract of 240,000 yuan, and 5% is ...... Hey, it's 10,000 2, I'm afraid I'll have to ask the company for this matter. After Lu Ming finished calculating the amount of the rebate, he couldn't help but be afraid. If it's a rebate of thirty or fifty, the design office itself can call the shots. Now it's 12,000 yuan all at once, how dare he give it, if something goes wrong, he, the manager, can't get out of it.

Feng Lintao shook his head and said, "Director Lu, you don't have to think about this problem. The relationship I entrusted was a cadre in the organ, and he didn't dare to take so many kickbacks. This is my contribution to the design studio. By the way, Director Lu, I have a request, after you go back, don't say that this business was introduced by me, just say that Mr. Bao saw our advertisement and took the initiative to come to the door. ”

"But why is that? You deserve to be recognized for your contribution to the design studio. Lu Ming said.

Feng Lintao said: "I still hope not to attract everyone's attention, after all, I am a newcomer, if I make too much noise, it will be difficult to get along with colleagues in the future." In fact, it doesn't matter to me whether the commendation is commended or not, I just hope that after our design studio has income, everyone can work with peace of mind and produce results as soon as possible. ”

Lu Ming was silent for a while, then nodded and said: "You are right, with this business, we should work with peace of mind, no matter who doesn't do a good job, I'm sorry for Mr. Bao's care for us." As for Xiao Feng, I respect your request. In this way, your work this year is very good, the design studio originally planned to recommend you as one of the candidates for the company's advanced workers, and now I have decided, this advanced worker quota will be given to you. ”
