008 From 'Junk Stock' to 'Potential Stock'
The 'Haizhou Seaview Hotel' where Xue Zhiguo works is not far from the community where Li Jian and his godmother are located. All belong to the coastal area in the southern suburbs of Haizhou City.
After being kicked out of the door by her mother, Li Jian got on an electric car and rode along the Binhai Road for only ten minutes before arriving.
As soon as Li Jian locked the car and entered the hotel lobby, he saw several people in the rest area gathered around and chattering like a quarrel.
The two parties who quarreled, one side was two foreigners wearing flower pants and flower shirts, who were tall and strong, and looked like husband and wife.
On the other side, the two foreigners condescendingly 'bullied' were a middle-aged fat man in formal clothes of medium height, and a tall and professional woman about twenty-three or four-year-old.
In his previous life, Li Jian was a figure who stood at the pinnacle of mankind, and generally speaking, he disdained and lazy to deal with the quarrels, fights, and even murders and massacres of 'mortals'.
However, this time it didn't work, because the middle-aged fat man who seemed to be being bullied was Li Jian's godfather, Comrade Xue Zhiguo.
So, Li Jian hurriedly walked over. And made up his mind in his heart, no matter who on both sides is at odds, he must help his relatives or not, if these two foreigners are disrespectful or rude, he doesn't mind violence.
As a result, Li Jian clenched his fists and just approached, and after listening to a few words from a few people, he couldn't help but be happy.
…………
In a few days, an international beach volleyball tournament will be held in Haizhou City, and the venue will be located on a specially carved beach in the southern suburbs of Haizhou. It is close to the Grand Hotel with Sea View.
In addition, the Seaview Hotel itself is one of the top five-star hotels in Haizhou City, and it will not be cheaper for anyone to stay, so it has become one of the three hotels designated by the organizers!
Therefore, a few days before the start of the competition, the hotel has to reserve a lot of rooms for the participants, their coaching staff, relatives and friends. This makes the hotel room very tight.
When the two foreigners came in and asked to stay, the front desk customer service staff had already explained to the two foreigners in English that the room was full.
However, these two foreigners are old hairy people, and they speak Russian such as 'hala shao' and 'socks stuffed in shoes'. The level of English is estimated to be similar to that of junior high school students in China.
As a result, they could only guess through the customer service lady's expressions, gestures, and a few words that they could understand sporadically, and they were denied check-in.
So, the two old hairs were anxious and quarreled with several customer service staff.
If the two old hairs can even guess what the customer service staff said, if the two of them say, the few young ladies of the customer service can't even guess.
In the few English words such as 'i', 'you', 'need', etc., there are a large number of Russian words such as 'дочь', 'спортсмeн'. The tongue is curled like pancake fruit, how can a few girls who only know a little bit of hotel daily English guess it?
Several customer service agents got together and worked hard for a long time, but after confirming that they still couldn't communicate, they had to call their boss, that is, Xue Zhiguo, the director of the housekeeping department, to come out.
Xue Zhiguo heard that it was a foreign guest, and heard the front desk say that these two foreigners knew a little English, so he didn't think much about it, and directly brought the best English staff in the department, that is, the young woman who was now standing next to Xue Zhiguo, and came downstairs together.
As a result, the effect can be imagined.
No matter how good your English is, people don't understand it? No matter how good your English is, you can't understand what other people say.
Therefore, the two sides can only talk to chickens and ducks, and the more they talk, the louder they become, and the trouble is like a quarrel now.
People on both sides said their own things, no one could understand what the other party said, and they were all excited, that scene was really funny, no wonder Li Jian couldn't help laughing.
Li Jian's laughter was a little loud, and when he laughed, he was already very close to the four people who were quarreling.
Therefore, as soon as Li Jian spoke, he was heard by the four people, so the four pairs of eyes turned around and focused on Li Jian's body, and the previous quarrel came to an abrupt end.
The two foreigners were a little surprised that Li Jian suddenly laughed at the strange young man who came up so suddenly, and their eyes were full of doubts.
The female employee standing next to her father, after seeing Li Jian, had a trace of disgust and contempt on her face.
I don't know whether to say that the road is narrow, or a pure back, this little girl dressed as OL actually just had a blind date with Li Jian yesterday, and after knowing that Li Jian only has high Chinese and is currently unemployed at home, he directly rejected Li Jian's Lin Lu with a disdainful face.
Among the four, the only one with a normal expression was Xue Zhiguo.
When Xue Zhiguo saw that the person laughing next to him turned out to be Li Jian, he didn't blame Li Jian for losing his temper, but instructed:
"Xiao Jane, you're here, your mother called me just now about opening a store, and I know all about it. You wait a minute. When I'm done here, I'll take you to the complex to see the storefront. ”
After speaking, Xue Zhiguo turned his head again, and together with Lin Lu, he faced the two old Maozi and continued to talk about chicken and duck.
Li Jian held back a smile, and after watching the performance of the four chickens and ducks for a while, he finally couldn't help but reach out and pull Xue Zhiguo, and said:
"Dad, are you sure you're going to be able to get done quickly? I don't think so! I think that with your method of communication, there are only two possibilities for successful communication.
Either you learn Russian with the tireless help of the two old Maozi, or you can teach these two foreigners to learn Chinese, so that you can understand it. Either way, it's not 'quick' to get it done. Even if there is a nine-year compulsory education, it is a matter of impossibility. ”
"What can I do then?"
Li Jian's words were playful and relaxed, which made Xue Zhiguo, who was worried about this matter, couldn't help but roll his eyes.
Facing his father's white eyes, Li Jian was not stunned at all, but laughed and said:
"It's not easy?
After speaking, Li Jian pulled Xue Zhiguo away, stepped forward, and stood in front of the two foreigners.
“Яизвиняюсь……”
When Li Jian's tongue rolled and spit out a series of bird words that he didn't understand at all, Xue Zhiguo and Lin Lu were dumbfounded together. Li Jian's tone of speech is the same as that of the two foreigners before, if he is not messing around, it should be Russian.
When the two of them saw the excited expressions of the two foreigners before they quickly calmed down, and talked happily with Li Jian with a smile on their faces, they were completely sure that what Li Jian said was indeed Russian!
Then, the two onlookers who couldn't interject were completely shocked and dumbfounded!
Xue Zhiguo was surprised that he, who was a father, didn't know when his son learned Russian. And to put it so slipperily, I don't fight at all.
And Lin Lu's surprise was because the 'six no' unemployed young man who originally thought he was rude and unliterate, had no ink, had no ability, no future, no money, and no ambition, actually had such a hand!
Although Li Jian is still the high school graduate with only high Chinese, what are the academic qualifications and diplomas used for?
These days, knowing other languages is much more popular than knowing bad street English!
Not to mention anything else, just by virtue of this fluent Russian, by virtue of the geographical relationship between China and Russia, and by virtue of the huge annual profits of the Sino-Russian border trade, even if you are only a translator, you will never have to worry about not making money. As long as people are not too lazy, they will definitely earn much more than Lin Lu himself!
If he had known that Li Jian had this ability, Lin Lu would never have refused so decisively when he went on a blind date.
At this time, Lin Lu, who no longer looked at people with her nostrils, finally discovered:
It turns out that if you don't dwell on Li Jian's earning ability and academic qualifications, his conditions are really good.
He is 185 centimeters tall, even in the north! He has a good figure, he is not fat or thin! Although he is not handsome, he is at least above average.
No matter how you say the appearance conditions, you can be regarded as a type man!
And if you add that to that the ability to be proficient in a foreign language......
Although it is not a gold stock or a diamond stock, it can at least be regarded as a 'potential stock' with considerable appreciation potential and extremely low investment risk!
Just like the protagonist in the story of 'Suspicious Neighbor Stealing the Axe', once the mind changes, then the vision will be different.
Originally, in Lin Lu's eyes, Li Jian was described as obscene, ugly, and unsightly. But when her mind changed, Li Jian suddenly became pleasing to the eye and became attractive.
……
In Xue Zhiguo's stunned eyes, under Lin Lu's complicated eyes, Li Jian talked with the two old Maozi for a few minutes before turning around again. switched back to the Huaxia channel and said to Xue Zhiguo:
"Dad, I've already said hello here.
These two old hairy men are named Nabayev, and the woman is called Stiana, and they are a pair of in-laws. They said they had a daughter named Tina, who was a player in the Haizhou Sand Volleyball Tournament and should be familiarizing herself with the venue over there.
They came to see their daughters play. She also said that her daughter had booked a room for both of them at your hotel, and the reservation number was ade5055......"
"Huh, is that so?"
After listening to Li Jian's translation, Xue Zhiguo and Lin Lu continued to be dumbfounded.
It turned out that the two old hairy people were not unreasonable, and they really booked a room, but they didn't understand it, and they desperately pushed people out. This communication barrier is really a cheat!
But in any case, Xue Zhiguo represents the hotel side, provides service products, and pays attention to 'the customer is God' and 'the customer is always right', and he must be at a loss in this matter.
Therefore, Xue Zhiguo could only show his greatest sincerity, apologized to Li Jian for help, and then diligently took the two old Maozi and Li Jian, the translator, to check in for him before and after.
In the end, in the warm embrace of the two old hairs, they were sent into the elevator. Xue Zhiguo finally breathed a sigh of relief.
