Chapter 628 I want to see your boss!

Taking kickbacks is actually very common in many industries!

The most typical one is the tourism industry. Tourists’ food, clothing, housing, transportation, consumption, etc. may all have so-called kickbacks.

Especially for some so-called low-priced tours, the basic tour fee may be just a maintenance cost. If travel agencies or tour guides want to make profits, they naturally have to find ways elsewhere.

This is also the reason why tour guides often maliciously threaten tourists’ consumption, because tourists’ consumption is directly related to their income.

The more they consume in games, the more they will earn, and the less they consume in games, the less they will earn.

And with less money, these tour guides will naturally be unhappy. When people are unhappy, it is not surprising that they would do things that threaten tourists.

So Chen Li in his previous life never signed up for low-priced tours when traveling. He would rather be "slaughtered" by those high-priced tours. At least he would be ripped off clearly, and he wouldn't meet those bullshits when he went out to play.

things.

In addition to the tourism industry, kickbacks are also common in other industries such as sales and purchasing.

Even in many industries, taking kickbacks is almost an unspoken rule.

To be more serious, there is no possibility of cooperation without even giving a kickback!

The same is true for the translation industry!

Chen Li had heard some things about foreign trade translation in his previous life, which were even more outrageous than those in the tourism industry.

He had heard the most exaggerated story about a foreign trade translator who made more than 1.3 million in illegal income in just two years by taking advantage of price differences and kickbacks.

The most ironic thing is that the boss of the foreign trade company where he worked only made about the same amount of money as he did in two years.

However, that guy's final fate was quite miserable, and he went straight to a dormitory.

There's no way~ He's just too greedy. In fact, if he wasn't so greedy and just followed the "rules" of the industry to get some kickbacks, he wouldn't have ended up like this.

However, he became greedy and naturally had to pay the price for his greed.

Of course~ the translator Chen Li met at this moment can only be regarded as a little Karami compared with that one.

This guy said he was a college student studying in an island country and worked part-time as a translator on weekdays.

But in fact, this guy's "part-time job" is simply more than other people's full-time jobs.

As for the reason, it’s mainly because this guy’s business is relatively broad.

As mentioned before, the "entertainment industry" of island countries is relatively developed, and this guy just likes the "entertainment industry" of island countries.

And precisely because the island country is famous around the world for its entertainment, many tourists who come here also like this atmosphere.

And this guy is also smarter, so he discovered a "business opportunity" here.

Then, over time, this guy really became famous.

Because there are many repeat customers, this guy has become a very famous translator in Tokyo, and his performance is also very good.

When Wu Minyi was looking for a translator here, she directly looked for the translator with the best performance, so she found this guy.

But Wu Minyi doesn’t know that the reason why this guy has the best performance is not because of his translation ability, but because he understands everything!

But this time, this guy obviously made a mistake. Maybe it was a mistake from receiving other guests on weekdays, or maybe he had become a habit of taking kickbacks. This guy directly reached out to Chen Li and his party.

In fact, if this guy just got some kickbacks, there would be absolutely no problem. After all, Chen Li had seen this kind of thing a lot in his previous life.

If nothing else, when Chen Li was managing a nightclub, someone asked him for kickbacks because he often brought people to the store to spend money, so Chen Li was really not surprised.

If it was just this kind of thing, then even if Chen Li knew about it, he actually didn't think it mattered.

As long as you eat and drink well, it doesn't matter if the translator gets some benefits from the store.

It's just that this guy obviously went too far.

Not only did they get rebates, but they even had to pay for their own price difference. It was obviously ordinary Wagyu beef, but they insisted on pretending to be Kobe A5 Wagyu beef. This more or less made Chen Li and his group look like fools.

And what's even more outrageous is that this guy, as a translator, clearly knows that Chen Li and others are in the business of selling beef, but he still makes small moves in this. Is this really not treating Chen Li and others as a dish?

To be honest, although the so-called Kobe A5 Wagyu beef is very expensive, it actually doesn’t cost much.

It’s not that Chen Li is stingy and reluctant to buy Kobe A5 Wagyu beef for his employees, but A5 Wagyu beef has too much oil and fat, which makes it taste particularly greasy.

This point ~ let alone Kobe A5 Wagyu, even Ideal beef also has this problem.

In the first few bites, this thing is simply delicious, but after eating it, it tastes like fat.

So although we had barbecue for lunch today, we didn’t order much Kobe A5 Wagyu beef. Even Zhang Ruolan ordered this thing because she wanted to feel the difference between the so-called Kobe A5 Wagyu beef and ideal beef.

It's just that I didn't expect to encounter an unlucky translator and turn things into what they are now.

What does it look like? Things have to start from ten minutes ago!

After Chen Li stopped Zhang Ruolan from immediately exposing the other party's behavior, the meal continued smoothly.

To be honest~ the ingredients in this restaurant are actually pretty good!

Although there is a slight difference from the order placed by Zhang Ruolan, there is actually nothing wrong with the ingredients themselves.

Yes~ It’s not just the so-called Kobe A5 Wagyu beef that has a problem, in fact many dishes also have this problem.

Of course ~ most of this is actually just Chen Li's guess.

The reason is also very simple~ Since the translator has to pay the price difference, there is no reason to only eat one dish of Kobe A5 Wagyu beef.

I didn’t order much of the A5 Wagyu beef. If this guy wants to make a fuss about it, he will definitely make some small moves on other dishes.

In addition to Kobe beef, Zhang Ruolan also ordered some ordinary beef, beef tongue, beef belly, offal, some pork belly, etc.

But there is a big difference between the island country and the country.

That is, not only does Wagyu have so-called grades, but other meats also have so-called grades.

Chen Li took a look at the menu before and saw what was on it: medium, premium, special, extra premium, etc.

Different meat grades are different ~ prices are also different!

To be honest, when Chen Li saw so many levels, he subconsciously felt that this was purely to deceive people.

To put it bluntly, this so-called level cannot be distinguished by ordinary people without eyesight.

Of course, if you want to compare the middle-grade ones with the extra-high-grade ones, many people may be able to tell the difference.

But it would be a fool to tell the difference between special grade and extra superior grade!

Except for professionals and some people with a talent for gourmet food, it is impossible for ordinary people to tell the difference.

What? The food supervision here in the island country is stricter, so this kind of problem is impossible? Damn it!

Stop listening to some people's "propaganda"! You must know that as a reborn person, Chen Li knows more about this than most people.

People here even dare to sell aquaculture products, why do they mention food safety?

And this Wagyu~ Counterfeit Wagyu happens every year in the island country, and their solution is to publicly apologize and bow to apologize.

Then it was gone!

Well, that's actually not very accurate, because they also compensated the customer for the price difference.

Yes~ It’s not an additional compensation, but a price difference!

You're lucky if you don't get scolded for this kind of thing in China, but it's normal here in the island country.

It's such a big deal~ Just hold a press conference and then collectively bow and apologize.

If it doesn't work, just push an unlucky guy to resign. Yes, just find someone to resign. This is considered a very severe punishment.

So there are some things that are actually just nonsense.

Just like today's barbecue lunch at noon, Chen Li and his party of three plus a translator cost nearly 50,000 yen, which is about 3,500 yuan when converted into Chinese currency.

This was 2001. Many people in China only earned a few hundred yuan a month. Chen Li’s small barbecue meal cost an average person several months’ salary?

Yes~Consumption in Tokyo is indeed very high, but this meal is still a bit expensive.

Of course, the quality of this restaurant is not low, otherwise there would be no Kobe A5 Wagyu beef on the menu.

Ordinary small restaurants won't sell this stuff at all, because it can't be sold!

The price of this thing is quite high even for islanders with a relatively high income. Ordinary people will not eat this stuff at all.

So, it seems that this meal costing nearly 50,000 yen is very expensive, but after thinking about it for a while, it seems that the expensiveness is not unreasonable.

But if you really understand it, you will find that the price is still expensive.

To put it bluntly, this translator is very smart. Although he gets a price difference or a kickback, he is not stupid.

He never thought that he would become fat on Chen Li and his party in just one meal, so the difference in price he earned from this meal should not exceed 10,000 yen.

Ten thousand yen does not sound like a lot. After all, the yen is indeed not worth much after its previous depreciation.

But if you convert this 10,000 yen into Chinese currency, based on the exchange rate at the moment in 2001, this is almost more than 700 yuan.

More than seven hundred! At this time, many people in China could not earn that much money in a month, but this little translator earned it in one meal.

So after everyone had eaten and drank, the translator and the waiter came over to tell Zhang Ruolan the bill, Chen Li coughed lightly and said:

"I want to see your boss!"

Everyone knows that the islanders are indeed doing very well in the service industry.

So when Chen Li said these words, the waiter from the island country immediately nodded and bowed, and then said:

"I'm sorry, sir, I'll inform the boss right away."

"Excuse me~ Are you not satisfied with our service?"

After the waiter answered in the affirmative first, he asked Chen Li why he called the boss.

This is actually a common response in the service industry!

If you ask first, it is likely to cause dissatisfaction from the guest, but if you agree to the guest's request first and then ask, it will give people a different feeling.

"What's wrong? Mr. Chen, it's their service"

At this moment, the translator thought there was something wrong with Chen Li, and out of due diligence planned to come over and send a message to Chen Li.

After all, he is a translator!

But when he was halfway through speaking, he realized that he seemed to be speaking in the island's dialect.

Not only did he speak the island dialect, the waiter also spoke the island dialect, and the most exaggerated thing was that the young boss Chen Li actually spoke the island dialect.

Moreover, Chen Li’s island dialect sounds even more standard than his accent.

What the hell is going on?

Obviously ~ when he was halfway through the sentence, the little translator had already reacted.

Because he has been staying in the island country in recent years, when Chen Li spoke in the island country in a very casual tone at first, the guy really didn't react.

After all, he hears people speaking the island dialect every day and has long been used to it.

Of course, if Chen Li could only speak the island's dialect, there would be no problem, but at this moment, the little translator still didn't understand something, and something had been exposed!

As I said before, although this guy is a little greedy for money, he is definitely not stupid.

Of course ~ this is actually nonsense. If you can be greedy for money and get it, how can you be a fool?

He could only blame himself for getting carried away. He had even loudly conspired with the restaurant management in front of Chen Li and his party.

As the saying goes, how can you walk by the river without getting your shoes wet?

In the past two years, this guy has been thriving here in the island country, and he has never made any mistakes abroad. From being cautious at the beginning to getting carried away now, I can only say that it is right!

"Go and do your work first~ Leave it to me here."

Translator Xiao Liu said to the waiter, after all, some things must be said in private.

"Mr. Chen, this"

"I'll say it again~ I want to see your boss!"

It's a pity that Xiao Liu was interrupted by Chen Li just halfway through his words.

And this time, Chen Li even fiddled with a plate on the dining table.

On this plate, there is still the Kobe A5 Wagyu beef that Zhang Ruolan gave to Chen Li. Because the Wagyu beef cannot be roasted for too long, there is even blood seeping out on the plate at this moment.

Of course ~ this blood water. Some people call this hemoglobin.

Okay~ No matter what it is, the appearance of this Kobe A5 Wagyu beef is no longer very good.

Equally unsightly is Chen Li's face. Of course, the most unsightly face is that of translator Xiao Liu.

No~ Comrade Xiao Liu's expression at this moment can no longer be described by his face.

I don’t know why~ This guy’s face turned “red” at that moment.

To be precise, Xiao Liu at this moment can be described as "red-faced".

And his expression went from being proud at the beginning to a bitter look.

It was obvious that the young boss in front of him not only knew that he was asking for kickbacks, but also that he wanted to make a profit.

So without saying anything, Comrade Xiao Liu bowed directly to Chen Li with a 90-degree bow.

"Mr. Chen~I'm sorry!"

"I was wrong!"

Hmm~ How should I put it? In fact, if this guy didn't do this, Chen Li wouldn't have thought of what to do with him.

After all, although this incident is a bit disgusting, Chen Li is actually quite happy for himself.

It's not that this thing makes him happy~ but the feeling of knowing everything but deliberately watching others do stupid things~ makes Chen Li actually feel good.

So at the beginning, Chen Li didn't really want to do anything to this guy. At most, he just wanted to teach this guy a lesson.

But now this guy came up and bowed at 90 degrees, which made Chen Li feel a little panicked. So.

"I'll say it again."

"Okay sir, I will notify our boss right now!"
