Reborn Industrial Tycoon

Li Weidong is only seventeen years old and does look like a student.

For this reason, when Zhou Fulai first came in, he mistook Luo Bing for a Japanese translator.

When he learned that the real translator was Li Weidong, Zhou Fulai's face changed slightly. He first complained, "Isn't this nonsense?" Then he called Director Wang.

Zhou Fulai's face was gloomy, and he barely maintained the dignity of a leader, and said: "Director Wang, how did you do things? You said you found a Japanese translator, how come you are a student? Looking at your age, you must have just entered college?"

Zhou Fulai mistook Li Weidong for a college student. If he knew that Li Weidong was not even a college student, but just a junior high school graduate, he might have fainted from anger.

Director Wang hurriedly explained: "Director Zhou, despite the young age of this young comrade, he is really a Japanese translator. He can speak Japanese very well. I have tried it myself."

"How did you try it?" Zhou Fulai asked.

"We got a Japanese document and he was able to translate it right away," Director Wang replied.

Zhou Fulai's face looked a little better, but his tone was still stern: "Director Wang, what we are looking for is not an ordinary Japanese translator, but a Japanese translator who is proficient in professional automotive terminology. If we are just translating daily documents,

Do I need to bother with this?"

"Director Zhou, this little comrade said that he is proficient in the technical terminology of automobiles, so I dare to call you back." Director Wang replied.

Zhou Fulai quietly looked at Li Weidong again, and then said: "Do you believe him when he says he is proficient in automotive terminology? Those automotive terms are not commonly used at all. Even our Japanese lecturer at Jinmen University can't figure it out.

As a young student, what can he understand?"

At this time, Li Weidong finally said: "Director Zhou, do I understand the technical terminology of automobiles? Find someone to try it out, and you will know!"

Director Wang also interjected from the side and said: "Yes, Director Zhou, didn't Mr. Xu from Jinmen University come back with you? We can let him try this little comrade."

Zhou Fulai thought for a moment, nodded, and then said: "Go and invite Teacher Xu."

After a while, a middle-aged man wearing black-rimmed glasses was brought in. This man had an easy-going look and a natural aura of being honest. At first glance, he looked like an educator who had nothing to do with the world.

"Mr. Xu, I have to trouble you again. We have a young comrade here, and we would like you to test his Japanese proficiency to see if he can be an interpreter for foreign guests." Zhou Fulai said.

Teacher Xu nodded, came to Li Weidong and said, "Student, don't be nervous, let's have a casual chat first."

"Classmate? He regards me as his student." Li Weidong complained in his heart.

Teacher Xu is a Japanese lecturer at Jinmen University. In terms of age, his students are older than Li Weidong.

So Li Weidong said directly in Japanese: "Hello, Teacher Xu, my name is Li Weidong."

Seeing Li Weidong speak Japanese, Teacher Xu also started to use Japanese to chat with Li Weidong.

Although Mr. Xu is a Japanese lecturer at Jinmen University, he has never been to RB. Before the 1980s, the exchanges between China and Japan were not close. A university lecturer certainly did not have the conditions to go abroad or even have the opportunity to meet people from RB.

They are all very small. Therefore, Teacher Xu’s spoken language is not authentic at all.

But Li Weidong has been at RB for several years. When it comes to grammar, he is definitely not as good as Teacher Xu, but his oral communication is definitely several levels higher than Teacher Xu.

The two had a conversation that was neither long nor short, and Teacher Xu felt that Li Weidong's spoken English was much better than his own.

"Teacher Xu, how is this little comrade's Japanese proficiency?" Zhou Fulai couldn't help but ask.

Teacher Xu adjusted his glasses and said: "This classmate's Japanese level is very good. His pronunciation and speaking habits are closer to those of RB people. In terms of spoken English, this classmate is much better than me.

"

Teacher Xu is an honest person. Honest people don’t lie. Honest people take over easily. Honest people readily admit that their speaking skills are not as good as Li Weidong’s.

"Oh?" Zhou Fulai suddenly looked surprised and asked, "Then can he be an interpreter for foreign guests?"

"Well, I have to test it again. After all, the foreign guest needs a translator who is proficient in automotive terminology. I don't know how much this student knows in this regard." Teacher Xu replied.

"Then let's test it quickly!" Zhou Fulai said hurriedly.

Teacher Xu nodded, and then took out a thick "Chinese-Japanese Dictionary" from his pocket.

"What's going on? Why do you pull out a dictionary when you don't agree with me?" Li Weidong looked confused.

Teacher Xu opened the dictionary and asked, "What does the word ストッパ mean?"

"The limiter is a device to protect the safety of the engine." Li Weidong answered.

At this time, Li Weidong also understood that Teacher Xu was testing his mastery of automotive vocabulary in the school.

"What does パワーステアリング mean?" Teacher Xu asked again.

"Power steering device, RB people are also accustomed to using this word to describe hydraulic steering." Li Weidong replied.

"What is フィルター?" Teacher Xu asked again.

"To simply reflect this word, it refers to filters. If it is in the automotive industry, it refers to filters." Li Weidong replied again.

Many automotive terminology is not used in daily life. Teachers like Mr. Xu mainly wander within the scope of textbooks, and it is impossible to study automotive terminology specifically.

This is just like when you go to a 4S store to buy a car. Most people cannot understand the various parameters and configurations introduced by the salesperson.

What's more, the automobile industry is developing very fast. Every new car may have one or two new gadgets. How can someone who is not a professional automobile practitioner know such details?

The professional terms for these cars can be found through dictionaries. However, as a translator, you can't just read the dictionary! When foreign guests say something, you first look up the dictionary and then translate it. That would be a joke.

Already.

Teacher Xu said several Japanese vocabulary words one after another, and Li Weidong was able to answer immediately and give explanations. He was obviously very proficient in automotive terminology.

At this moment, without Teacher Xu coming to a conclusion, Zhou Fulai was already convinced that Li Weidong was proficient in automotive terminology.

Zhou Fulai leaned towards Director Wang and asked softly: "What is the name of this little comrade?"

"His name is Li Weidong." Director Wang replied immediately.

The next second, Zhou Fulai instantly put on a smile like that of Amitabha Buddha, walked up to Li Weidong, and grabbed Li Weidong's hand.

"Teacher Xiao Li, you came just in time and solved our urgent need. This time we receive foreign guests, and it all depends on you!"

Li Weidong looked at Zhou Fulai speechlessly. This guy was too snobbish. "Still a student" instantly turned into "Little Teacher Li"!
