"Huh? Mr. Cliff, is there anything you can do? Zhou Jianhua asked in surprise.

"Yes! Mr. Zhou, it's a pleasure to meet you......" Cliff stood up and took out a business card and handed it over:

"I'm the commercial representative of Inc. Inc. in the United States, and this is my business card......"

"Inc. Infbison?!" Zhou Jianhua was shocked, this is a well-known old computer company in the world!

Zhou Jianhua hurriedly and politely took Cliff's business card and glanced at it, and the familiar company logo jumped into Zhou Jianhua's eyes, that's right! That's it!

Zhou Jianhua was still very young in his previous life, he knew the name of the company of Embison, which is a century-old enterprise in the United States, from the initial production of typewriters, word processing machines, to the later production of various types of computers, has always been a leader in the computer industry, strong technical strength, international reputation.

"Mr. Zhou, you speak English very well, and you look very young, are you still a student?" Cliff asked.

"Hehe, Mr. Cliff, I am indeed still a student...... Zhou Jianhua replied simply:

"Is there anything wrong with you?"

"Yes, yes! Mr. Zhou, I do have something I would like to ask for your help. Cliff hurriedly said:

"That's right, I came from Jingcheng, the capital of your country, to negotiate business with companies in Jiangnan Province, but the translator they found made me sound very hard, and it was very difficult to communicate, I thought, can I ask you to do the translation for me for a few days? I know that your Chinese students are on winter vacation at this time, I wonder if it is convenient for you? ”

"Uh......" Zhou Jianhua hesitated.

Zhou Jianhua knew that this era. There are very few people in the country who can speak English well. Looking for a good translator. It's not easy, but I still have so many things to deal with, how can I spend a few days translating for him?

But Zhou Jianhua thought that in this year, personal computers have just begun to be used commercially in developed countries, and in China, there are no conditions for popularization at this time. Could it be that Cliff came here at this time to promote the mainframe computer of the Inc. company? If this is the case, it will be at least a multi-million dollar project, and in this era, when such a large amount of foreign exchange is involved, it is certainly not just one enterprise that will participate in the negotiations, and there will certainly be the participation of relevant departments such as the Planning Commission and the Economic Commission......

"Mr. Zhou, if you are willing to translate for me, I will pay you." Seeing that Zhou Jianhua was hesitating, Cliff added.

"Oh? So how much are you going to pay me? Zhou Jianhua asked with a smile.

"Uh...... 20 RMB per day, you should be satisfied, right? Cliff replied with a smile and confidence.

Cliff knows that the income of the Chinese is not high. 20 yuan is enough to cover half a month's salary for most Chinese, not to mention that the person standing in front of him is just a student.

"Say so. You're paying me for two meals a day? Zhou Jianhua glanced at his dining table and asked with a smile.

"Uh......" Cliff was reminded by Zhou Jianhua's question, and said in his heart that I forgot that he was a person who consumed here, and that those who could eat here should be relatively wealthy, so he felt a little unbearable on his face, and quickly added embarrassedly:

"During this period, I will also be responsible for all your meals, transportation and other expenses."

"Mr. Cliff, may I ask you what project you are negotiating this time?" Zhou Jianhua asked.

"Absolutely!" Cliff replied:

"I came here to negotiate with a machinery manufacturing company in Jiangnan Province to sell a set of software and hardware systems for mainframe computers."

"Oh......" Zhou Jianhua nodded and asked with a smile again.

"Have you set the specific schedule for this negotiation?"

"Well, yes, the schedule of the negotiation is basically certain. Half a month ago, I have provided our solution to this company, this time they invited me to come over, to discuss some technical details and sign sales contracts with their engineering technicians and the competent departments of several enterprises again. Cliff replied:

"I've spoken to their engineering technicians a few times in the past few days, oh...... It's very difficult to communicate...... They don't know how to use computers, and the translators don't understand my explanations...... I guess it's going to take another three to five days to get the technical issues out of the deal, and then, if it goes well, I can sign a sales contract with the company and the people in charge of their business. ”

"In that case...... Well, three to five days...... I can accept your invitation to provide you with translation services. Zhou Jianhua replied with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"That's great!" Cliff said happily:

"Will you be able to talk to them with me tomorrow?"

"Yes, you can!" Zhou Jianhua asked:

"When and where will I meet you tomorrow?"

"I am staying in room 312 of this Jiangnan Hotel, can you come to my room before half past eight tomorrow morning? They send a car to pick me up at half past eight every morning, and I hope we can get together tomorrow morning. ”

"No problem! I'll definitely arrive on time. Zhou Jianhua replied briskly.

"Very good!" Cliff nodded happily and said, then turned around and picked up the menu just now, pointed to the "braised lion's head" and said to the waitress who was standing on the sidelines watching their conversation stunned:

"Please serve me this dish and a cup of coffee—and I'll pay for this gentleman's dinner today."

"Thank you, Mr. Cliff, for your generosity, we have already paid for our dinner." Zhou Jianhua said with a smile.

"Oh! It doesn't matter, they'll be more willing to take my money, and they'll deduct dollars from my room fee! Ha Lu Ha ...... Please convey my words in full to this waitress. Cliff insisted, and in this way he could finally regain the face he had almost lost.

"Hehe, then thank you Mr. Shekcliff." Zhou Jianhua was no longer polite, and it happened that the money he had on hand was almost spent. If you stay in the provincial capital for a few more days, you will have to use money. Let alone. Foreigners' money is not earned in vain. So Zhou Jianhua smiled and relayed Cliff's words to the waiter.

The waitress looked at Zhou Jianhua in surprise, looked at Cliff suspiciously, pointed at Zhou Jianhua with a finger, and confirmed to Cliff whether Zhou Jianhua and Cliff's meal expenses were counted together, Cliff understood what she meant, smiled at her and nodded to confirm it.

The waitress nodded and left, taking the menu. Zhou Jianhua also said hello to Cliff and returned to his dining table and sat down.

"Zhou Gong, you can actually speak English?!" Wang Xiaozhen asked in surprise.

Just now from the moment Zhou Jianhua walked towards the foreigner. Wang Xiaozhen was very surprised, watching Zhou Jianhua walk over but didn't know what he wanted to do, and when he heard Zhou Jianhua talk to the foreigner in fluent English, he was even more surprised, and said that this little brother is too rebellious, and he can actually speak a foreign language!

Ten years of catastrophe in the country, resulting in the abandonment of education, but then ushered in a new era of reform and opening up, although the Chinese people began to pay attention to education again, but the lack of teachers can not be recovered at once. In this era, even in the provincial capitals. There are not many people who can translate English, let alone listening and speaking English, and there are too few people like Zhou Jianhua who can communicate smoothly with foreigners in English! Wang Xiaozhen once heard that every time her company went to the Canton Fair, it was very difficult to find a competent oral interpreter.

"Well, I'll do a little." Zhou Jianhua replied with a smile on his face.

"I didn't expect you to be so good, you speak English so well!" Wang Xiaozhen looked at Zhou Jianhua with admiration on her face and muttered, and then immediately asked curiously in a teasing tone:

"However, you two are wronged, you still have a common language, what have you talked about after talking for so long?"

After Wang Xiaozhen's contact with Zhou Jianhua this afternoon and evening, the relationship between the two has unconsciously become much closer, and they talk more casually.

"Uh...... I'm no longer wronged, hehe......" Zhou Jianhua glanced at Wang Xiaozhen with a smile and retorted:

"That American, oh, his name is Cliff, and he's going to pay for me today."

"Isn't it......" Wang Xiaozhen heard Zhou Jianhua say this, looked at Zhou Jianhua in disbelief, and then turned her head to glance at Cliff, but saw the waitress just now coming over, still holding a big unity in her hand.

"Comrade, this is the meal money that will be returned to you!" The waitress looked at Zhou Jianhua with suspicion and envy and said with a smile.

"Huh...... Thank you! Zhou Jianhua took the money, nodded at the waitress and replied politely.

"You're welcome!" The waitress smiled and turned to leave.

"Oh my God! How so?! Wang Xiaozhen exclaimed in a low voice, the two watery eyes widened, as if they were about to fall out of their sockets, and the two ruddy and small lips couldn't close.

"Huh...... I'm going to work for this Mr. Cliff for a few days from tomorrow......," Zhou Jianhua replied with a smile:

"I'm going to be a speaking translator for him for a few days. Looks like I'm going to have to spend a few days in Southtown. ”

Wang Xiaozhen looked at Zhou Jianhua in a daze, her heart was surging, and she said that this little brother is too powerful! One miracle after another happened to him, and the little brother in front of him, who was already very rebellious, is now even more inscrutable. Fortunately, this kind of inscrutable feeling has been there since I met Zhou Jianhua, and it has become a norm, and now there is one more amazing thing, and it will not seem particularly abrupt.

Wang Xiaozhen was stunned, and Zhou Jianhua was also rethinking his plan.

As soon as Cliff just revealed his identity just now, Zhou Jianhua's subconscious immediately had a feeling: I am afraid that I will not be able to return to Jiancheng County immediately according to the plan.

Sure enough, Cliff had come to negotiate a big project. Zhou Jianhua is convinced that the competent departments of the enterprise mentioned by Cliff must include the Planning Commission and the Economic Commission.

In this era when the planning economy is dominant, it is impossible for an enterprise to make a large investment of this level, and the Planning Commission and the Economic Commission cannot fail to participate. The Planning Commission should be responsible for making plans for the direction of the development of the national economy, including industrial development plans and enterprise investment plans, while the Economic Commission should be responsible for coordinating the implementation of these plans by relevant industry departments, and these two departments should determine an enterprise's daily production activities, such as what to produce, how much to produce, whose raw materials to use, to whom to sell, and how much to sell, and so on.

Zhou Jianhua decided to stay and follow Cliff for a few days - it is not a bad thing to be able to get to know some officials of the Planning Commission and the Economic Commission, not to mention, maybe there is an opportunity to solve the problem of importing his own components?

"What are you doing here?" Zhou Jianhua glanced at Wang Xiaozhen, who was still looking at him in a daze, raised his goblet and reminded with a smile:

"I haven't drunk the wine yet! Here, cheers! (To be continued......)
