Chapter 245: Translation Mission
Young people in later generations may not have heard that Daxing still has an automobile factory, but in fact, Daxing in the first ten years did have an automobile factory, and it was still famous at that time.
Founded in 1956, Daxing Automobile Factory is a national light vehicle designated production plant, a member factory of China FAW Group, a member factory of China Highway Machinery Corporation, and a designated production plant of special purpose vehicles of the Ministry of Communications, the Ministry of Public Security, the Ministry of Justice, the Supreme People's Procuratorate, the Supreme People's Court and other departments. At that time, the advertising slogan of Yungang Automobile TV was: "Yungang Automobile, the choice of experts".
At that time, no matter where he went, the words "Daxing Manufacturing" seemed to have an invisible halo. In the nineties, on the north side of the exit of Daxing Railway Station, there are two giant billboards, they are the "Yungang Automobile" of Daxing Automobile Factory, and the "Saibei Arrow" of Daxing General Staff Automobile Factory.
But in the end, the good times did not last long, Daxing's cars did not catch up with the development of China's automobile industry, and suddenly died down, without any follow-up, because there was no market, the central government also tightened the management of automobile production licenses, and closed down early.
This time, Ruiyang is planning to negotiate with the West German side to purchase a set of equipment for the automobile production line that they have eliminated.
It is said to be a production line, but in fact it is only a few key pieces of equipment on the production line.
Although this set of equipment has been somewhat backward in technology, but it is still very advanced in China, when China's main cars are still at the level of the 40s, the introduction of Soviet technology, due to historical reasons, the technology is basically stagnant, there is no progress, which shows how big the domestic automobile manufacturing and international gap in the eighties.
As for not introducing the latest foreign automobile manufacturing technology and production lines, on the one hand, the reason is because of the technological blockade of the developed countries in the West, and on the other hand, the country's foreign exchange is small and the family is thin, so even if the Western countries are willing to sell China a brand new automobile production line, the high price is not something that the country can afford.
China and West Germany was established diplomatic relations in 1971, West Germany is also one of the best Western countries in this era and China, the plan to sell the obsolete car production line quotation is very cheap, but also to provide relevant technical information, so a few months ago Ruiyang went abroad to investigate, the car production line is very interested, immediately and the ministry made a report, after the report was approved, Ruiyang from the West German side to get the equipment drawings, intended to be translated out of the Daxing Automobile Factory to discuss and study, and finally develop a most suitable purchase planγ
"Director Rui, this translation is really beyond my English level. At this time, a middle-aged man in his forties glanced at the English documents piled on top, frowned and said, "If there is a mistake, I will do you a disservice......
"It's not a hard task, and if you feel that you can't do it, you don't have to take on this task. Ruiyang pondered for a moment, then smiled and said to everyone: "But if anyone can translate these foreign language materials well, the bureau will be rewarded......
"Director Rui, what's the reward, can you tell us?" At this time, a middle-aged woman who was more courageous asked Ruiyang with a smile on her face.
"If you have a high level of translation and a good level of speaking...... It is possible to go abroad and negotiate with foreign businessmen. Ruiyang said with a deep groan.
As soon as Ruiyang's words fell, the scene suddenly became agitated.
For people in this era, it is undoubtedly extremely difficult to go abroad, but if you can go abroad at public expense, it is definitely a great honor and opportunity.
"Our Light Industry Bureau currently does not have a special translation talent, I could have applied with the ministry, but it takes too long to wait for approval, so I thought about looking for such a translator in our Daxing, if there are really capable people in this area among you, I can also transfer you to the bureau to work and solve the cadre establishment!" Ruiyang raised his eyebrows and said.
Hearing this, everyone at the scene was moved again.
In fact, all the people who came today are basically technical secondary school or above, and they are all cadres in the factory, and they do not need to be promoted by Ruiyang, but the Light Industry Bureau is a superior unit, transferred from state-owned enterprises to public institutions, even if it is at the same level, the title and treatment will be improved, at least half a level, and the job of translation is more popular, and you can still follow the leader to go abroad often in the future, so the reward given by Ruiyang is indeed very attractive.
"If you don't quit, then it's hard for everyone. Seeing that everyone had no intention of quitting, Ruiyang glanced at the staff around him, who immediately distributed the copies of the drawings that had already been classified to everyone present.
"Pay attention to the proper preservation of materials. After Ruiyang settled down, he waved his hand and said, "After you get the information, you can go back." β
When everyone heard this, they left with the information.
In fact, there were many people who were ready to retreat just now, but after hearing that Ruiyang gave such a generous reward, they all changed their minds.
Just being able to go abroad at public expense is enough to make people's hearts surge.
As for the low level of translation, if you check the English-Chinese dictionary diligently, you can barely complete the translation, and many people are ready to try it with this idea.
Duan Yun also got a file bag containing materials, and the words 'Stamping Machine B-5' were written on the bag, opened it and took a look, and found that there were at least nearly 100 pages of drawings and materials inside.
"How is your English?" After walking out of the office building of the Light Industry Bureau, Cheng Qingyan asked Duan Yun.
"Enough. Duan Yun replied with a smile.
"I may almost ......" Cheng Qingyan sighed lightly and said: "It would be nice if I had the opportunity to go abroad, but unfortunately there was not much English teaching in our school at the beginning, and it is still unknown whether we can translate these materials." β
"If you find it troublesome, I can translate it for you. Duan Yun said.
"Can you translate so many drawings and materials alone?" Cheng Qingyan shook her head when she heard this, and then said: "These data documents are not translated in a few words, and some things need some relevant mechanical foundations to be translated in place. β
Cheng Qingyan has a lot of foreign information books at home, all of which were brought back from abroad by her father, Cheng Qingyan some time ago in order to study the powerful shot peening machine, and also read some foreign language materials, but these materials are mainly in Russian, and English is also available, but Cheng Qingyan didn't take English classes for a long time when she was in school, so her English level is average, and it is quite difficult to translate, so she can only rely on checking the English dictionary to squeeze toothpaste......
