Lin Qiangsheng sent Eriksson out of the door, turned around, and was hammered on the shoulder by Lin Xiang, Lin Qiangsheng asked his sister in surprise: "Sister, why are you beating me?" ”

Lin Xiang snorted, raised her chin and said, "Who asked you to speak English in front of me, bullying me and not understanding, right?" ”

English talents are very rare these days, basically as long as you know 26 English letters and can pronounce the words plausibly, you can find a job as a temporary worker in the government department, and maybe even become a regular worker.

Therefore, Eriksson's translators are often replaced, and even if they are found, they can't work for a long time, and there are no interpreters in Eriksson today's meeting, and they have to rely on Lin Qiangsheng to tell him.

"There are so many foreigners in our company, why don't you usually follow along?" Lin Qiangsheng said innocently.

Hearing Lin Qiangsheng talk about this, Lin Xiang was even more discouraged, she was so busy in the company, how could she have time to study, and if she wanted to squeeze out time, she didn't make any progress because of her limited foundation.

Lin Xiang said to his younger brother with an embarrassed face: "It's not that you don't know that I have a poor foundation, usually I can memorize some words and read books, but I can't understand your conversation like this!" ”

Lin Qiangsheng smiled: "Sister, you have done a good job, Eriksson is a Swede who speaks with a strong Nordic accent, if you meet a British serious London accent, you may be able to understand!" ”

Lin Xiang slapped his younger brother on the shoulder and smiled: "Foreigners still have dialects? You just tease my sister! ”

Lin Qiangsheng nodded and said seriously: "Why not, let's just say that the accents are different in different places in the UK, the most standard is the BBC BBC, and the English of the BBC host is standard British English." In the United States, the Chicago accent is considered standard American English. ”

Lin Xiang listened curiously, there is very little foreign information that can be learned in China now. Like the BBC or something, it is strictly forbidden to be regarded as a spy station, after all, Lin Qiangsheng can skillfully communicate with foreigners, and he has also gone abroad, these things Lin Xiang has never heard of his brother before.

"I can't hear foreign broadcasts at home!" Lin Xiang said helplessly.

Lin Qiangsheng said: "Originally, I wanted to recruit some English teachers to teach English classes to our company's employees after the technical school was formalized, and our company should also establish a learning mechanism to continuously improve the comprehensive quality of the company's employees' knowledge level and labor skills." But now that the interior of the school building has not been completed, I have not told you about it. It is better to take advantage of the time of the company's adjustment and reform now, and arrange the learning plan of the employees! ”

"Really? That's great! Establish a learning mechanism to improve the quality of employees. Johnson & Johnson, you have a good idea! Lin Xiang heard Lin Qiangsheng's plan and praised it greatly. She didn't expect her brother to think so far, and she was still sad that she couldn't understand English conversations, but her brother had already thought about this, and he also thought about the ordinary employees of the company.

Lin Qiangsheng saw that his sister was so happy, so he said: "Originally, I thought that in the future, the senior management of our company will go abroad to find a university to study business management, after all, we are all from a native background, and through further study abroad, the company's management level can be improved to the international level at once, why not!" Sister, you might as well follow this plan now and lay a good foundation for foreign languages in our school first. Wait a year or two, and I'll send you to study abroad for a while! Maybe it's a year, maybe it's two years, how can you mix a diploma from a famous foreign school! ”

Hearing Lin Qiangsheng's promise, Lin Xiang was very happy, and she almost couldn't suppress her laughter, she giggled: "Can I really go to college abroad?" Do you not need to take the entrance examination for foreign universities? ”

Lin Qiangsheng waved his hand and said: "There are foreign universities that are examined, but there are also private universities that you pay money for, and you have to study hard after entering the university, otherwise it will be difficult to get a diploma!" There is also a good learning of English to take the TOEFL test before going abroad, and at present, we can only go to Hong Kong to take the test. ”

Although it is said that it is impossible to spend money to enter Harvard and Yale and other famous American schools, as far as Lin Qiangsheng knows, he can actually spend money to enter these schools. U.S. universities generally have a lot of so-called 'wealthy donors', and the conditions for applicants are similar. The children of these 'wealthy donors' are given priority. It is also a priority to know which alumni have been recommended. In addition, there are huge financial donors, and more than $1 million in the United States is considered a huge amount now.

"Alas, it feels so hard!" Lin Xiang sighed lightly, shook his head and said.

Lin Qiangsheng encouraged his sister to pack the ticket and said: "It's not difficult, how can it be difficult to have a younger brother to help my sister!" In a little while, I will bring you a teacher from England, and my brother will find you a senior expert in England who is proficient in the 'Queen's English'. I came to China to give you lessons. When the time comes, you only need to pass the TOEFL, and then I will recommend it to Harvard and Yale, and your queen English will not stop these American old hats as soon as she appears! ”

Lin Qiangsheng laughed loudly, and Lin Xiang felt happy when he heard the excitement. She thought Lin Qiangsheng was joking, a British expert who was proficient in the Queen's English. Lin Xiang didn't know what her brother was talking about, but she remembered what TOEFL she was going to take.

Lin Xiang is very talented in managing companies and dealing with business, but she has little confidence in the exam, she has bought the college entrance examination papers in the past two years, and tried to do it, but Lin Xiang is very disappointed after doing it, her score and the score of going to college are getting bigger and bigger year by year, she feels that the college entrance examination is getting more and more difficult and she is already unsustainable, until she finishes the college entrance examination paper in July 80, Lin Xiang has completely given up the dream of going to college.

And Lin Xiang didn't tell Lin Qiangsheng about this, and she didn't say anything when she saw that her brother's attitude towards domestic universities was not very positive.

Lin Qiangsheng really doesn't care much about the current teaching level in China, one is because what is taught in China can't keep up with the situation at all, and many people start to study abroad without waiting for graduation for a year or two, especially many international students in science and engineering in this regard.

Moreover, there are many outdated and inconsistent things in the content taught in universities now, such as politics and other things that occupy a lot of scores, and social thought has also been in a period of violent turmoil and debate in recent years, and teachers don't know what to teach and students can learn well! So much so that Lin Qiangsheng felt that it was very doubtful what the political consciousness of the students he had taught in the past few years was. Most of these people later stepped into leadership positions, how could a person with confused political ideas be able to integrate into that collective, Lin Qiangsheng felt very strange!

The company's business division system is steadily advancing, in order to make the procedures for enterprises in the province smoother, and also to let the material company set up a brand in the provincial capital, after all, this is a resource and energy company involving wood, metal and coal.

Lin Qiangsheng does not know that the current policy does not allow foreign investment to do this, and as far as he knows, the American energy giant Occidental Petroleum Hammer is negotiating a large-scale cooperation project with the country for coal mining. But Lin Qiangsheng's material company is not involved in mining after all, it is a trading company, and it also has the right to import and export. This requires the help of the province, and the right to import and export is now only in the hands of a few units of the central government, and it is not so easy to take.

Lin Qiangsheng specially went to meet Zhou Jianjiang of the Foreign Trade Department and told him that the company would donate 3 million US dollars to the province, one million US dollars as a donation for cleaning up the weapons left by the Japanese invasion of China in the province, and 2 million US dollars as an education donation in the province.

When Zhou Jianjiang heard that a foreign-funded company was asking for a donation, he was surprised and said happily: "Comrade Lin Qiangsheng, you told Mr. Eriksson for me, and I am very grateful to him for his selfless and generous help to China!" ”

Lin Qiangsheng smiled and nodded again and again, even if he agreed to Zhou Jianjiang.

Zhou Jianjiang made a phone call to tell his superiors about the matter, and the leaders were also surprised by the donation from the foreign-funded company, and said that they must first ask the central government to see if the province could accept the donation.

After a call to ask for instructions, all departments up and down the province knew about the matter, 3 million US dollars partly as a donation to clean up the weapons left by the Japanese invasion of China and part as an educational donation, the first happy is the education department, followed by the people's armed forces department, the public security department and the army, there are many departments to clean up the weapons left by the Japanese army, it is a few of them cooperated, the leaders of several departments got together and almost fought because of the uneven distribution of who has more and who has less.

With the consent of the central government, the province finally put down a heart, and the money can be collected!

A corporate donation of US$3 million is not the first in China, and the Hong Kong businessman who runs a taxi company in Yangcheng that Lin Qiangsheng knows has been donating to education since 79. But after all, it is the only one in the province, and the newspapers have reported it to a greater or lesser extent.

The donation ceremony was specially selected in the North Building, which was once used as a designated hotel in Bincheng to receive foreign guests and senior officials from outside the province.

This donation came at the right time, because after the reform and opening up, the work of cleaning up the weapons left behind by the Japanese invasion of China had been cooled down because of the promotion of Sino-Japanese friendship. In the past 20 years, in the 21st century, almost all provinces in the country have been killed because of the damage caused by these leftover weapons.

After sending off the leaders of the province, Lin Qiangsheng and Zhou Jianjiang said: "Senior Zhou, several subordinate enterprises of our company also ask the comrades of the Foreign Trade Department to help!" ”

Zhou Jianjiang assured Lin Qiangsheng with a red face: "Don't worry, this time we have to fight in the province no matter what, and there is no problem with several subordinate companies run by your company, and they will be approved immediately." The import and export rights of material companies, our province also has to help you go to the central government to fight! ”

The Central Import and Export Corporation is not so easy to deal with, and they will not give up their rights easily. Lin Qiangsheng followed with an encouraging voice: "Senior Zhou, you guys go to make trouble, oh no, go and ask for it!" Our company will reimburse you for all expenses such as travel expenses! ”

Zhou Jianjiang asked in English in surprise, "Really?" ”

Lin Qiangsheng also said in English: "Of course, it must be! (To be continued......)
