Chapter 40: Speeches
The time has come to December 8th, and the Nobel Prize ceremony is coming, and all kinds of media, each showing their powers, gathered in Stockholm, the capital of Sweden, to report on this annual award ceremony.
Fu Xin also left Munich and came to the city. Negotiations between Xijiang Province and BMW are still continuing, but there is no need for Fu Xin, because Fu Xin, a special German translator sent by China, is there to be a mascot, because the anti-lock braking system of motorcycles has his part.
According to Fu Xin's view, in this negotiation, in the end, the political axe of Xijiang Province was able to achieve what it wanted, and introduced a car production line from BMW, but the political axe of Xijiang Province will bleed heavily, which is inevitable.
Xijiang Automobile Factory has reached a cooperation with BMW, which Fu Xin is happy to see, and it is very good to be able to take the lead and turn away his Isuzu. The strict surnames of the Germans doomed them not to be as cheating as they were. And there are fewer products to enter the Chinese market, which is also something that Fu Xin is happy to see. This country is not well raised, and it is better to have less contact.
At Stockholm airport, Fu Xin and a counselor at the Chinese embassy in the Kingdom of Sweden finally received Zhao Yiming and two officials from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
"Professor Zhao, two comrades from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, you have finally arrived." Fu Xin greeted him with a smile.
Zhao Yiming also walked over, patted Fu Xin on the shoulder, and said, "Comrade Xiao Fu, we meet again!" Let me introduce to you, this is Comrade Xu Guangyu, Director of the Foreign Affairs Office of the Department of European Affairs of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. ”
Fu Xin looked at the nearly forty-year-old director in front of him and stretched out his hand, "Director Xu, I'm very happy to see you." ”
Xu Guangyu smiled slightly, clenched Fu Xin's hand, and said: "Comrade Fu has won glory for the country, amazing!" It's a pleasure to meet you, you came a few days before us, you are more familiar with this place than we are, please take care of me. ”
Fu Xin smiled and nodded, and Zhao Yiming pointed to a twenty-seven or eighteen-year-old young man and said, "This is the officer of the Foreign Affairs Office of the European Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Comrade Chai Junjie. ”
Fu Xin looked at Chai Junjie, stretched out his hand and shook it with him, "Officer Chai, it's a pleasure to meet you." ”
This Chai Junjie should be a person who does not smile, shook Fu Xin's hand, squeezed out a smile, and said, "Comrade Fu, it's a pleasure to meet you." ”
"Counselor Wang, your speed is so slow." Fu Xinchao followed Counselor Wang Heping of the Chinese Embassy in the Kingdom of Sweden who came to them, and then looked at Zhao Yiming and the three with a smile, and said: "Professor Zhao, Director Xu, Officer Chai, let me introduce to you, this is the counselor of our country's Embassy in the Kingdom of Sweden, Comrade Wang Heping, Counselor Wang is easier to speak, you can feel free." ”
"Hello Counselor Wang." The three of them nodded at Wang Heping.
Wang Heping smiled and said, "Hello! Then the conversation changed, "Lao Xu, Professor Zhao and Officer Chai met me for the first time, so it's okay to say hello politely, you and I have known each other for many years, why, I have been out for two years, and you don't know me." ”
"How dare you?" Xu Guangyu smiled slightly, "I forget that no one dares to forget you, Counselor Wang, but your change is really big, after going abroad for two years, I see that there is a lot more red light on your face." ”
It can be seen that the two are very familiar, according to the level, Wang Heping is higher than Xu Guangyu, looking at the situation of these two people, they must be old acquaintances.
The five of them talked and laughed and walked outside.
……
"Comrade Fu Xin, is your speech ready?" Xu Guangyu walked into Fu Xin's room, and as soon as he sat down, he opened his mouth to ask about Fu Xin's speech.
"Speeches?" Fu Xin was a little stunned, he never prepared any speeches, in various meetings in Huaxing, he always made impromptu speeches, how could he need any speeches!
Xu Guangyu smiled bitterly, he knew that Fu Xin was not prepared, because he heard that the person in front of him had always given impromptu speeches. He immediately took out an envelope, handed it to Fu Xinzhi, and said: "Comrade Fu Xin, this is the speech we have prepared for you, you can take a look at it and strive to memorize the content on it." ”
"Director Xu, do I have to follow the above?" Fu Xin looked at Xu Guangyu and asked, for the current situation in China, he Fu Xin didn't understand, many of his speeches in his previous life were handled by the secretary, and they were not his own content at all.
Seeing Fu Xin's attitude, Xu Guangyu was a little embarrassed, the one in front of him was the winner of the Nobel Prize in Physics, and after winning this award, the status of the one in front of him was far higher than himself.
According to the plan, it was a speech with the speech he brought by Xu Guangyu, the content on it has been studied by many people, and there will be no problems, this is the safest thing that there will be no chaos, just in case!
However, according to common sense, the speech should be prepared by the speaker himself, but the speaker himself will take the speech he wrote to give a speech, and it is inevitable that something unpleasant will happen, which may have a bad impact on China, which has just opened its door.
But the other party's status is higher than him Xu Guangyu, which makes Xu Guangyu very embarrassed, the person in front of him has always been impromptu speaking, and he Xu Guangyu still knows this.
"This ...... This one...... Comrade Fu, if you prepare the speech yourself, can you show it to me, and I will help you revise it. Knowing that Fu Xin liked impromptu speeches, Xu Guangyu still pretended not to know, and asked about Fu Xin's speech again.
Fu Xin was very disgraceful, and said bluntly: "Director Xu, I didn't prepare a speech, I usually give impromptu speeches. ”
Xu Guangyu was speechless by Fu Xin, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.
Fu Xin looked at Xu Guangyu who looked embarrassed, and said softly: "Director Xu, don't be embarrassed, I'll use the speech you prepared for me, thank you." ”
Xu Guangyu breathed a sigh of relief, raised his head, looked at Fu Xin, and showed a look of approval and gratitude, the young man opposite who was said to be more rebellious, could understand his hard work, Xu Guangyu felt that his work was much better, and he couldn't use a set of rhetoric for the other party to prepare his own speech.
"Thank you, Comrade Fu Xin, thank you for understanding our work." Xu Guangyu said sincerely.
Xu Guangyu's sincerity made Fu Xin a little depressed, "Am I so stubborn?" Haven't I always been very cooperative with the work of the political axe? ”
The depressed mood flashed, Fu Xindai opened the envelope and took out the speech inside, the content of the speech was not very long, only one and a half pages, but what made Fu Xin a little speechless was that the content on it turned out to be in English, so Fu Xin frowned, "Director Xu, I'm afraid that this speech you prepared for me needs to be revised." ”
Xu Guangyu was a little puzzled, it was no secret that Fu Xin knew a lot of Chinese, otherwise he would not have taken the lead to translate for the leaders of Xijiang Province's political axe, so the English above should be understood! With such a question, Xu Guangyu asked: "Comrade Fu, where does it need to be revised, please tell me, and I will revise it immediately." ”
Fu Xin didn't say much, pointed to the speech, and said, "Director Xu, it's all in English......
Before Fu Xin finished speaking, Xu Guangyu interrupted Fu Xin's questioning and asked, "Comrade Fu Xin, don't you know the language of English?" ”
Fu Xin nodded, then said with a wry smile: "Director Xu, you listen to me first." ”
"What I mean, it's not that I don't know the English above, but I know all the English above, and I can speak it fluently. I mean, I don't want to speak in English......"
"Don't speak in English? What language is it used to speak, English is the lingua franca? Fu Xin's words were interrupted by Xu Guangyu again, Fu Xin showed a displeased look, and said in his heart: "No wonder Wang Heping, who is good friends with you, is now a counselor of embassies abroad, but you are still a small director, if I am your leader, you like to interrupt people so much, I will suppress you!" ”
Fu Xin sighed, and when he saw Xu Guangyu's innocent face, he had to put away his displeasure, "I'm going to give a speech in our own country's language, that is, Chinese." ”
"Chinese speeches, but many people can't understand our language! What to do? Xu Guangyu was a little puzzled.
Fu Xin understood Xu Guangyu's reaction, so Fu Xin shook his head, sighed again, and said: "Director Xu, you have to understand that I am the winner, I am not a reporter or an audience, I am in the front, don't confuse the order!" ”
"When I speak, the people listening below are not what I ask them to listen to, but they themselves want to listen to my speech, so it's not me who should be welcomed, but them, what language I use to speak, that's my business, whether they can understand it or not, it's their business, because I'm in front, it's not me who asks them to listen."
Fu Xin's request to listen, to listen, made Xu Guangyu very confused, for a while, he was also confused, who was the master and who was from, he was also confused.
In his cognition, speeches are naturally for the audience, and now Fu Xin wants to speak in a language that people don't understand, isn't this playing the piano to the cow? Xu Guangyu was instantly confused.
Seeing that Xu Guangyu still had a confused expression, Fu Xin shook his head and sighed: "Director Xu, it seems that you haven't understood what I mean. Let me put it this way, I am Chinese, I speak in Chinese, this is respect for my motherland, people can understand and hear, and I have no light. They don't understand, so they can record my speech and bring it back for translation. If I speak in English, it will be a humiliation for me and my country, because it is equivalent to losing my mother tongue, and the dignity of the country will be damaged. So I can't speak in English, I only speak in Chinese. Do you understand? ”
"Dignity ......" Xu Guangyu nodded as if he didn't understand, and then said: "Comrade Fu Xin, thank you, this is our work is not in place, indeed, the dignity of the country is very important, and you can't be sloppy in what language you speak." I'll go and inform Professor Zhao, and I'll go first. ”
"Well, go ahead!" Fu Xin nodded.
In fact, Fu Xin could see that Xu Guangyu still couldn't understand what he Fu Xin said, but the word dignity was very dazzling, which made Xu Guangyu wake up!
