Chapter 109: German Translation
Early the next morning, Du Ming got up very early, and Yun Cai was probably tired the day before, and he didn't wake up until the sun rose.
Yun Cai got up and cleaned up for a while and said to Du Ming, "Last time I said that I was going to Le'an to talk about business, but we had an accident and didn't make it, I explained to others, and they said that they were willing to arrange another meeting." ”
Du Ming said lazily, "The planes have fallen to the sea, how can I go?"
Yun Cai rolled his eyes, "Take the passenger plane to go, you pack your things today, and we will go to Le'an tomorrow." ”
Du Ming had no choice but to nod, and the next day, he accompanied Yun Cai and White Rose to the airport.
This time there was no privilege of a private jet, but as a cloud, he was naturally a VIP when he took a passenger plane, and he boarded the plane with Du Ming and White Rose first, and soon flew to Le'an City.
The group that Yuncai wants to cooperate with this time is the Fein Group, which is a German-invested enterprise, and the president in Huaxia is also a German, named Julian Schell.
After the three of them checked in in the hotel booked in advance, they quickly rushed to the Fein Group, and as soon as they talked to the front desk lady, the other party immediately politely asked the three of them to wait in the reception room for a while.
The three of them waited for a while, and finally a beautiful female secretary walked into the reception room and said politely to the three of them, "It's President Yun, our president invites you to come to the conference room to talk to him about this matter in detail." ”
Cloud nodded and stood up, "Okay, I'm glad to meet Mr. Shear. ”
The secretary walked out of the reception room with three people, stumbled to the conference room, and pushed the door open, where Julian Schell was sitting behind the large table.
Julian had a standard European appearance, with white skin, green eyes, and blond hair, and even sitting there he could tell that he was quite tall.
The clouds saw Julian walking briskly, and Julian stood up.
Yun Cai said in fluent English, "Hello, Mr. Schelle, my name is Yun Cai, I am the chairman of Yuemeng Group, this time I have come to talk to you about the cooperation between our two companies, it is a pleasure to meet you." ”
As he spoke, Yun stretched out his hand to shake hands with Julian, but unexpectedly, Julian, who seemed to be polite, showed an unhappy look after hearing Yun's words, raised his head arrogantly, and did not stretch out his hand to shake hands with Yun at all.
Yun Cai was stunned, not knowing where he had offended him, and his hand was stretched out in the air and he didn't know what to do.
The secretary next to him hurriedly said, "This, Chairman Yun, our president doesn't know English, and as a German, he requires everyone who talks to him to do business to speak German, or bring a German translator. ”
Yun Cai was a little overwhelmed, "But, doesn't he have a translator himself?"
The secretary said with some embarrassment, "Our president thinks that knowing that he is German and speaking German or having a German translator is a basic respect for him, and if he does not even have such a basic attitude, the intention to talk about business must be insincere." ”
Yun Cai was in a hurry, and no one told her in advance about this matter, she didn't know German herself, so where could she conjure up a German translation?
Yun Cai asked the secretary, "Miss Secretary, you are Mr. Shear's secretary, you must be in German, can you act as a translator for us temporarily?"
The secretary shook his head apologetically, "I'm sorry, I said that our president requires that the person who comes to him must know German or prepare his own translator, otherwise it is not sincere enough, so even if I am willing to be a translator for you, our president will not talk to you." ”
Yun Cai was completely stupid, he didn't expect that he had almost put his life on the business negotiation before he had been preparing for so long, and it was so messed up because of the language problem.
At this time, Du Ming, who had been obliquely behind the clouds, suddenly stepped forward, walked to the side of the clouds, and said to Julian in proficient German, "Hello, Mr. Schelle, this is the chairman of our Yuemeng Group, Yuncai, this time I came to you to talk about the cooperation between the two companies, and I am very happy to meet you." ”
Yun Cai didn't know German, and he didn't know that Du Ming was speaking German, only that he stood up and said a series of words to Julian that he didn't understand, and then Julian's face suddenly turned cloudy, showed a satisfied smile, and stretched out his hand to Yuncai.
Yun Cai glanced at Du Ming, and reached out again to shake Yurian's hand.
Du Ming smiled at Yun Cai, blinked his eyes, and said in Chinese, "Why didn't you say this kind of thing earlier, I am Miss Yun Cai's German translator, she specially brought me over, if you said earlier, I just translated for President Yun." ”
Yun Caixin said that when did Du Ming learn German and become his own translator, but since Du Ming seemed to really know German and helped himself, he naturally continued to smile.
Julian said in German, "We have also done research on the Moon Dream Group, I think this is a very promising group, and I am also very much looking forward to this cooperation, please sit down Miss Yun and we will talk in detail." ”
Du Ming translated this sentence to Yuncai, who sat down as Julian gestured.
With Du Ming's translator, with Yuncai's level of negotiation, the conversation went smoothly, but Julian is a very picky person, although he is polite with Yuncai, but he always has an arrogant attitude, and the two sides have not been able to reach a reunification.
Du Ming saw Julian's pickiness, and when the conversation between the two came to an end for the time being, he suddenly said in German, "Mr. Schelle, when I followed Mr. Yun into your group building, I thought the building was very beautifully built and decorated, I think it was Renaissance, right?"
Julian looked surprised when he heard this, "Oh? You know architectural styles too?"
Du Ming smiled and said, "I know a little bit, this building is simple and brisk from the architectural style to the decoration design, and I have seen a lot of pointed arch scrolls with simple lines, which is obviously German style, a little retro Renaissance style." ”
Julian nodded approvingly, "You still know a lot, and you know German architecture so well?"
Du Ming said with a smile, "I used to live in Germany for a long time, and I still know a lot about German culture. ”
Julian's eyes lit up when he heard this, "No wonder, I said that your German is so standard, and I know that many of us Germans know the proverb, where do you live in Germany?"
Du Ming replied, "I have lived in Bremen most of the time, and I have also spent some time in Hamburg and Munich, and listening to your accent, you are from Bremen, right?"
