Chapter 16: A Strange Company

"Yang Guo, remember to bring your daughter over for a physical examination on Saturday." At the entrance of the hospital, head nurse Jiang sent it out with a smile.

"Okay, Aunt Jiang, you can go back, you don't need to send it." Yang Guo hugged Qiqi and smiled.

Waving goodbye to Nurse Jiang, Yang Guo stopped a taxi and went home with her daughter in her arms.

Although he resigned this morning, Yang Guo is in a very comfortable mood, he doesn't have to worry about going to work, and he can be by his daughter's side, what could be happier than this?

Pushing open the door, Yang Guo let Qiqi lie in the baby stroller in the living room, humming a song and spreading the sterilized bottle and brewing milk powder for Qiqi. Yang Guo was busy, and turned his head to look at Qiqi. It turned out that Kiki's round eyes were also looking at her father, preoccupied, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

Kiki found her father's head, her little eyes were stunned for a moment, and then she raised her head to look at her father, suddenly, the little angel grinned and laughed "giggle", and she didn't know why she became so happy, her eyes suddenly turned into the clear crescent moon spring of Dunhuang, and the clear waves as jade also rippled.

Seeing this, Yang Guo turned her head from time to time when she was making milk powder, every time she turned her head, she could give Qiqi a big surprise, and every time she turned her head, she laughed happily, her beautiful laughter like a wind chime echoed in the small living room, and the aftermath lingered, Yang Guo felt that her heart was drunk. The happiest thing in the world is probably nothing more than this!

After the milk powder was brewed, Yang Guo picked up Qiqi, watched her drink the milk greedily, and thought to herself: "Qiqi must be hungry." "Who's to say it's not, when she was observing in the baby incubator in the hospital, she relied on the glucose push at the beginning to maintain her strength.

Yang Guo gently stroked the soft and sparse pale yellow hair on Qiqi's head, with endless pity in her heart, but her mouth was chattering: "Qiqi, you are your father's little angel, why are you still a yellow-haired little girl now?" ”

Kiki drank the milk, Yang Guo burped her, and after two laps, she fell asleep. Yang Guo ordered himself some noodles, made up for lunch, and then threw himself on the big bed and fell asleep. Yesterday he didn't close his eyes all night! If it weren't for the fact that he was much more energetic after practicing the exercises, Yang Guo would have been unable to hold on for a long time.

When I got up, it was already getting dark. Yang Guo was busy bathing and massaging Qiqi again, and after taking care of her, he ordered noodles to eat again.

The noodles made by Yang Guo are actually quite delicious, but they are not as much meat as they usually eat, and Yang Guo began to miss the big fish and meat. But now I am shy in my pocket, although I still have about 20,000 yuan in savings, but God knows when I will have the next income. Now Yang Guo has to be careful in his calculations, Qiqi eats the best, and it costs a lot, so he can save a little if he can. Eat it simply on weekdays, and buy some good food on weekends.

Yang Guo swallowed the noodles in his mouth, smacked his mouth, turned his head to look at his daughter, and said with a serious face: "Qiqi, Dad is for you, but you want to eat bran and drink thin, you have to be obedient and don't cause trouble to Dad, you know?" ”

Kiki couldn't understand what he was saying, she sat in the stroller and watched her dad suddenly turn to look at her, thinking that he was playing the afternoon game with her again, and laughed happily again.

Yang Guo looked at the little angel's innocent smile and muttered, "It's really heartless." Then I couldn't help but laugh.

After dinner, Kiki also finished her milk and was carried back to the cot by her father to sleep. Yang Guo took a bath and washed the clothes of the two people, and Qiqi's clothes had to be washed by hand, so he walked out of the toilet at almost nine o'clock.

Drying the water from his hands, Yang Guo turned on the computer. Yang Guo took a thousand degrees of Xinda Translation Company. Looking at the introduction of Xinda Translation Company and the evaluation of netizens, Yang Guo found that this company is a wonderful flower in the translation industry!

Founded in 1980, Cinda Translation Company is the earliest translation company in South China. Xinda started as an interpreter, and now it can be said to be the giant among the giants in South China, and it occupies half of the interpreting market, and it is said that many interpreting professors in universities are listed with them.

Interpreting is more profitable than translation, Yang Guo knows, I have heard the teacher talk before, English interpreting, generally accompanied by interpretation takes six or seven hundred days (of course, it is professional), and the highest level of simultaneous interpretation costs thousands of yuan, and this is still an hourly salary!

However, interpreting is not very realistic for Yang Guo, although he earns a lot of money, it is no different from going to work, he has to run outside. Yang Guo is mainly concerned with translation.

Translation is a frontier that has only been opened up by Xinda since the turn of the millennium. Previously, it was said to be a strange flower because it did not have a large number of regular employees like other translation companies. In order to open up the market, it adopts a business model that is somewhat similar to the mercenary union in the novel.

To put it simply, Cinda has built a platform where translators are like mercenaries who register their "mercenary" status, and then if other companies have translation needs, then they can publish tasks through Cinda Company, and translators can choose their own tasks to do. If he passes the audit of Cinda Company, then the "bounty" of the task will be credited to his card. Of course, the price of the "bounty" is still according to the standard of Cinda Company, and Cinda Company will also take a certain percentage of the "mercenaries" under it.

Relying on its connections in the interpreting market, Cinda has attracted a number of high-quality customer resources, so that the tasks it publishes are also very rewarding, which also attracts many translators to work part-time on it. You must know that the relationship between Cinda and the translator is very simple, and it does not have performance requirements like other companies, and the translator can take the task when he has time, and he can ignore the company if he does not have time. Therefore, many of its registered translators are from other translation companies, and they come for a good return, as long as they are not discovered by their own bosses, then they can still make a lot of money!

In this cycle, Cinda has formed a good reputation, and gradually achieved a balance between supply and demand, and many companies or individuals will post translation needs on it every day, and many translators have received translation jobs on it. After more than 10 years of operation, it has become a giant in the translation market! Other translation companies are helpless, knowing that despite the prohibition, their own employees may still work for others, and they can't find evidence.

Yang Guo also found that Cinda Company's commission for translators is also different, and it classifies registered translators, namely: trainee translators, translators, bronze translators, silver translators, and gold medal translators. The more senior the translator, the lower the score, which is 40%, 30%, 20%, 10%, and 5% respectively. For example, if a trainee interpreter completes a task with a price tag of $100, he will only get 60 yuan, while if he is a gold medal translator, he will get 95 yuan! The difference is huge.

Of course, Cinda is also hierarchical, and translators cannot skip the level to apply for higher-level tasks, nor can they compete with low-level translators for money. Translator trainees are all about small tasks, such as translating resumes and the like. The higher the level, the more difficult the natural quest will be, but the higher the income per order.

From trainee translator to translator, as long as the number of tasks passed the review reaches a certain number and the pass rate reaches a certain value, it can be promoted. The main purpose of this design is to prevent translators from maliciously receiving assignments but not completing them, which damages the company's reputation. You must know that the task of a trainee translator can be done by everyone, but as long as someone accepts the task of a translator, then others will not be able to see it for a period of time.

If the translator wants to be promoted again, he must pass the assessment of this level, which is said to be an article given by the translation review team, and he can only be promoted if he passes. Of course, they are not afraid of the interpreter cheating, if the level of the interpreter is far from meeting the requirements of the level in the next two tasks, then the number will be blacklisted.

The more advanced the bronze translator, the more difficult it is, but the more profitable it is, not to mention the company's commission, 200 per 1,000 words for the silver medal and 300 per 1,000 words for the gold medal, which is far from being comparable to ordinary translators. Moreover, you must know that although the gold medal translator says 300 words per thousand, this is only the lowest price! Some urgent tasks or companies that give generous money give prices far more than three hundred.

Yang Guo found that the platform of Cinda Company is actually a big pyramid, and at the top of the pyramid are some very powerful translators, which are the foundation of Cinda Company, and they have attracted a large number of high-quality customers and gained a reputation in the industry by relying on these translators. Then, a large number of novices or translation enthusiasts at the bottom can also digest the fragmented translation market that senior translators look down on but the total value is very large.

Although Cinda doesn't make money as a senior translator, he does make a lot of money on translators at the bottom of the pyramid. Although the commission of Cinda Company is a bit high, and a single order does not earn much, it is better to be simple and efficient! And they can also hone their skills, so students in colleges and universities, and some people who know foreign languages and have a lot of free time, are still flocking to them.

However, Yang Guo was unwilling to spend time on trainee translators and translators, and he didn't even look down on bronze medal translators. After looking at the example questions of silver translators and gold medal translators, Yang Guo felt that his level should not be much different from that of silver translators.

Yang Guo is not ready to apply to become a "mercenary" of Xinda Company immediately, as the so-called sharpening knives do not mistakenly chop wood, Yang Guo wants to prepare himself first. Now that you can touch the edge of the silver medal interpreter in your spare time, why not work hard to get on the gold medal interpreter's throne?

When he is a translator, Yang Guo must also be the best translator. Yang Guo believes that with his clever head, he will definitely be able to sit at the top of the pyramid!

Yang Guo turned off the computer, rummaged through the cabinets, and found translation books that had not been used for a long time from under the bed, some were textbooks from college, and some were tutorials from famous translators who had not been seen on a whim at that time.

Wiped off the dust sticking to it, sat in front of the desk, in order not to affect Qiqi's rest, Yang Guo took advantage of the faint yellow light emitted by the lamp, and looked at the thick theory book in his hand, his eyes were focused and serious, as if this moment had returned to the green student days.

Outside the window, the neon painted the night, and the swaying of foliage, the cries of cicadas and vehicles were blocked by thick brick walls. There were only two breaths of similar frequency left in the room, and the sound of the pages gently turning, and the night seemed extraordinarily peaceful and serene. "Yang Guo, remember to bring your daughter over for a physical examination on Saturday." At the entrance of the hospital, head nurse Jiang sent it out with a smile.

"Okay, Aunt Jiang, you can go back, you don't need to send it." Yang Guo hugged Qiqi and smiled.

Waving goodbye to Nurse Jiang, Yang Guo stopped a taxi and went home with her daughter in her arms.

Although he resigned this morning, Yang Guo is in a very comfortable mood, he doesn't have to worry about going to work, and he can be by his daughter's side, what could be happier than this?
