Rebirth of the Entrepreneurship Era

Because there was no translation, everyone was at a loss as to what the two foreigners wanted to do when they came to Yingzhou.

As for the two reporters following the filming, they are actually an interview team of Yingzhou TV Station who runs news outside, and they usually run materials outside all day long.

Yingzhou is a small place, and more than half of the usual half-hour news programs are flooded. After all, there is no big news worth broadcasting at all, so they can only make up for it.

As long as the reporters heard about such trivial matters, they would go over and shoot them, so the threshold for news materials of the TV station was extremely low.

When a dog is lost, when a cat is on the roof, when an elementary school student picks up a purse and sends it to the police station, reporters will come over to film a piece of footage and report it on TV.

Therefore, as soon as the two reporters heard that the Municipal Education Bureau had come to visit the two foreigners, they couldn't help but find them.

Both of them were thinking, if foreign businessmen came to Yingzhou for inspection, wouldn't it be big news?

After all, Yingzhou has not introduced any foreign businessmen in these years.

But the two of them didn't expect that, after following all the way, they found that none of them could communicate with each other fluently.

Not to mention the two reporters, the photojournalist studied in a technical school and could only speak Yes and No in English;

The interviewer is not well-educated. He is a son of a TV station employee. He just graduated from a junior college last year. After graduation, his family arranged to work as a reporter at the TV station.

So the two reporters could only keep their heads down and follow the camera. Like the leaders of the Education Bureau, they were also waiting for the English teacher from Yingzhou No. 1 Middle School to come.

However, the English teacher at Yingzhou No. 1 Middle School couldn't wait, which made the three waves of people at the scene a little impatient...

When Thomas Lauter was at his wit's end, he suddenly heard an authentic spoken English, saying, "Hi sir, do you need a Chinese interpreter?"

Thomas Lauter was overjoyed when he heard the authentic British pronunciation, and even subconsciously thought that the person talking to him must be an Englishman based on his accent.

However, when he followed the prestige, he found a Chinese youth looking at him with a smile.

It was Xu Yiyang who spoke.

Thomas Lauter looked at Xu Yiyang and suddenly became excited, saying: "My God, I finally met a person who can communicate normally!"

With that said, he walked up to Xu Yiyang, shook hands with him vigorously, and asked expectantly, "Young man, can you be my interpreter?"

Xu Yiyang smiled slightly and said, "Of course!"

Thomas Lauter said excitedly: "This is really great!"

Director Cai and his party next to him, as well as the two reporters, were dumbfounded.

They had been worrying about not being able to communicate with foreigners. When they were burning with anxiety, a young man suddenly appeared, speaking decent English, and happily chatting with Thomas Lauter.

Thomas Lauter asked Xu Yiyang excitedly: "Young man, what's your name?"

Xu Yiyang said: "My name is Xu Yiyang."

"My name is Thomas Lauter, you can call me Thomas!"

As he spoke, he asked again: "Xu, how do you charge for translation? If possible, I would like to hire you as my translator!"

Xu Yiyang originally wanted to come out to pretend to be a wave and take this opportunity to gain some exposure for himself, so he didn't want to make money from him at all.

But he didn't expect that the foreigner would take the initiative to pay him.

After all, he is an international friend, and he subconsciously wants to promote his hospitality and decline the reward.

But on second thought, carry forward the style of a fart!

My pocket is cleaner than my face, and with such an opportunity to make money, what kind of style should I promote?

So, he looked at Thomas Lauter and the blonde woman beside him,

After thinking for a while, he said, "Mr. Lauter, I haven't done any translation, so I don't know the exact price. You can give as much as you want."

Xu Yiyang is actually a bitch.

Prices in Huaxia are very low these days, and prices in Yingzhou are even lower. If you want to be a temporary translator, even in Yanjing and Zhonghai, it’s not enough to pay a few hundred yuan a day?

But what's the point of a few hundred dollars? It was enough to pay back the debt owed to my sister.

Instead of doing this, let the foreigner see for himself, it should be a little more than a few hundred yuan.

The reason why Xu Yiyang has this confidence is because he can tell at a glance that this foreigner is a rich master.

Most of the people in Yingzhou in 1999 had never seen any luxury goods.

Although Xu Yiyang doesn't pursue these things, after all, he has experienced all kinds of influences from later generations, and naturally knows many luxury brands.

Therefore, he has long discovered that the foreigners are famous brands from head to toe.

For example, Thomas Lauter, his coat is from Zegna, the sweater inside is from Armani, and the leather shoes are from Gucci, all of which are luxury brands.

Looking at his wife again, the windbreaker she was wearing was from Burberry, and the silk scarf on her neck was from McQueen. What's more, she was carrying a leather bag from Hermes.

Xu Yiyang felt that since these two were so rich, they shouldn't be too picky.

Sure enough, as soon as Thomas Lauter heard that he was asked to look at it, he took out his wallet on the spot, took out six 100-yuan foreign currency notes from it, handed them to Xu Yiyang, and said, "Xu, this is 600 German marks, which should be worth 3,000 yuan. Around RMB, if it’s not enough, just ask.”

Xu Yiyang was stunned for a moment, thinking, isn't 3000 yuan a bit much? Isn't this foreigner too generous?

Xu Yiyang couldn't help asking: "Mr. Lauter, did you give too much..."

Thomas Lauter blurted out: "No no no! Not much at all! Your English is excellent and totally worth the price!"

Xu Yiyang thought for a moment, since the other party insisted so much, then he would not be too polite, the 600 Deutsche Marks was his first pot of gold after rebirth!

So, he took the money generously and carefully put it into the inner pocket of the down jacket.

Later, he said to Thomas Lauter very seriously: "Mr. Lauter, from now on, I will be your Chinese translator."

Thomas Lauter hurriedly said to Xu Yiyang: "Xu, please tell them that I came to Yingzhou to fulfill my grandfather's two last wishes, one is to scatter part of his ashes into the Yellow River, and the other is to pay for him on his behalf." Yingzhou donates a sum of money, and this money must be designated to be used only for education.”

"Okay." Xu Yiyang nodded, turned around and said to the middle-aged official: "Hello, I am the temporary translator of Mr. Thomas Lauter, he just said..."

Immediately afterwards, Xu Yiyang completely translated Thomas Lauter's words in real time on the spot.

He translated long and long paragraphs without any pauses and stumbles, which made everyone stunned.

If it weren't for the fact that the translation sounded very reliable, everyone present couldn't believe that this young man could really communicate with foreigners so easily.

After hearing that, Chief Cai let out a sigh of relief, patted Xu Yiyang on the shoulder, and said happily: "Young man, your appearance is so timely!"

As he spoke, he immediately said to the secretary who was following him, "Call the principal of No. 1 Middle School and tell him that there is no need to send the teacher over."

His secretary hurriedly said in a low voice: "Principal Lin called me back just now, saying that he just left."

Director Cai frowned, and said: "When using them, Momojiu couldn't come here. What's the use of coming now? Tell him and call me back!"

Although Director Cai's own English foundation is almost zero, he can still tell that Xu Yiyang's English level should be very high.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to communicate so smoothly with the foreigner, and it would be impossible for the foreigner to hire him as an interpreter immediately, after all, the foreigner himself recognized his level.

If the teachers from No. 1 Middle School were to be sent over at this time, it would not only be superfluous, but it might also be embarrassing.

The secretary took out an old palm treasure mobile phone and hurried to make a call.

Director Cai looked at Xu Yiyang and asked curiously, "Young man, what's your name?"

"Hello Director Cai, my surname is Xu, and my name is Xu Yiyang."

Director Cai nodded and asked with a smile: "Young man, you must be a college student returning home from winter vacation? Which famous university do you study in?"

Xu Yiyang shook his head and said, "I am a student of Yingzhou No. 1 Middle School."

"What? Are you a high school student?"
