Chapter Ninety-Five: Language
After Kabaeva went down, Borman asked Shakru: "Mr. Pandit, who are these two Soviet beauties?" ”
"Oh, they were my hired assistants, and I did a couple of businesses in the USSR last year." Shakru replied lightly.
Bowman gave a thumbs up and praised: "Mr. Pandit is really well-informed, and can do business with the Soviets." Then he took a step closer and whispered, "Mr. Pandith, I would like to ask you for your help. ”
Shakru said in his heart, I knew that there must be something wrong with you looking for me, so he said while leading the way: "It's all neighbors, what do you want or not, come, let's go in and talk." ”
Upon entering the house, Shakru beckoned, "Mr. Borman, do you want tea or coffee?" ”
These people hesitated, then said, "Well, let's have a coffee." ”
After a while, as soon as the coffee was served, Borman said with some surprise: "Mr. Pandit, your coffee is so fragrant, I can smell it before I enter the house." ”
"Well, this is Vietnamese G7 coffee, which is the most fragrant milk coffee I have ever drunk, not only smells fragrant, but also tastes very mellow, basically after drinking this coffee, other milk coffee feels tasteless." Shakru explained. (Since I inadvertently said this coffee in the article last time, there have been no less than ten book friends who have asked me where to buy it, in fact, I bought it on Taobao, and I won't say the specific name of the store, so as not to be suspected of advertising, anyway, friends who want to drink can pick official stores or stores with high reputation, but the price has increased recently, and it is a little more expensive than last year.) )
Borman said with admiration on his face: "Mr. Pandit has also been to Vietnam? ”
Shakru shook his head and said, "That's not true, this is recommended to me by a Japanese friend, and I often go to Japan." In order to avoid making Bowman say things like "Mr. Pandit, you have also been to Japan", Shakru directly led the conversation and said, "I wonder if there is anything you need my help with, Mr. Bowman?" ”
Borman first glanced at Sharapova, who was standing behind Shakru, and then whispered with a slightly embarrassed expression: "Mr. Pandit, I also want to hire two Soviet beauties as assistants like you, do you have any way?" ”
To be honest, this question made Shakru feel very speechless, Boman, a rich man in the countryside, actually wanted to fight the idea of the Soviet swallows, I really don't know whether it was to sit in the well and watch the sky or whimsical, but Shakru couldn't explain this kind of thing in detail, and fortunately, Sharapova couldn't understand the Hindi language he used when talking to Boman, otherwise if he provoked this little aunt and grandmother, then this Boman would not know how he died. Well, yes, that's a good excuse.
So Shakru asked with some hesitation, "Mr. Boman, how is your English?" ”
"It's not good, I learned it when I was young, but I haven't used it much over the years, so I've almost forgotten it." These were a little surprised, why did they suddenly ask him this question.
Shakru spread his hands: "In this case, then I can't help it." ”
Puzzled, these people asked, "Why, what does this hiring assistant have to do with good English?" ”
"These Soviet girls usually use Russian, and the few who have the intention of going abroad are also learning English, if your English level is not good, then you can't communicate at all." Shakru explained.
Obviously, Borman definitely didn't think of this in advance, but this reason was very reasonable, so he couldn't argue, and finally he could only sigh helplessly: "Hey, it turns out that these foreigners don't speak Hindi." ”
Shakru nodded and agreed, "That's right." But he complained in his heart, let alone foreigners, even Indians use less than a third of them. Here is a point of popular science, India is a country with an extremely complex and chaotic language system, there are more than 10 official languages alone, and there are as many as 14 scripts on banknotes, while there are more than 1,000 unofficial local languages, and they are completely different from vocabulary to grammar, and they do not even belong to the same language family.
For example, Mahatma Gandhi, the founding prime minister Jawaharlal Nehru and the Indian poet Tagore, these three great Indian men would not be able to communicate at all if they got together and did not speak English, because they spoke Gurajit, Hindi and Bengali respectively, so although India was free from British colonial rule, it was still necessary to use English in Indian business and politics, because if you speak other languages, it is impossible for the whole country to understand them
Since the wish was not fulfilled, the next lunch was also absent-minded and tasteless, and he left after hastily eating.
After sending him away, Shakru told Kabaeva and Sharapova about it as a joke, and the hot-tempered Sharapova snorted coldly: "Hmph, the toad wants to eat swan meat, it's really a beautiful thing, just his obscene and unqualified appearance, even if he is a billionaire, he can't imagine that he can ask our Soviet girl to work for him." ”
Although on the surface, Shakru nodded his head and cooperated with Sharapova, but in his heart he kept muttering, no need more, in two years, Russian beauties will have to spread all over the erotic workplaces in dozens of countries around the world, and the prices are not high, I don't know anywhere else, at least in Harbin.
To divert the subject, Shakru asked, "Kabaeva, have you settled down with the two little girls?" ”
Kabaeva nodded and said, "Well, it's all settled." By the way, boss, don't say it, although this Mr. Borman is quite obscene, the two little girls he sent are still beautiful billets, and they will definitely be beautiful when they grow up. ”
Shakru asked with some surprise, "You can also see this?" ”
"Of course, when I was in school, I used to go out with the principal to search for students, as an agent, especially a female agent, appearance is a very important part, and because the selection and training are all little girls, so you must be able to determine her general appearance when she grows up, otherwise if she doesn't look good when she grows up, then it will be in vain, so we have a set of scientific identification methods." Kabaeva explained.
As soon as he heard this, Shakru was immediately interested: "This is interesting, you tell me in detail." ”
PS: Yesterday I wrote a chapter on cow dung cakes, and as a result, I was educated by many book friends in the book review area. But I really haven't heard of it, let alone seen it, so it's a bit rare and weird, so bear with me!
