Reborn Industrial Tycoon

The state-owned Goubuli Steamed Bun Shop was crowded with customers, and there was a long queue in front of the counter.

With a smile on his face and two bags of buns in his hands, Luo Bing squeezed out of the crowd like a fool.

"Xiao Li, I bought Goubuli steamed buns!" Luo Bing handed one of the bags of steamed buns to Li Weidong.

"How much does this bun cost?" Li Weidong asked casually.

"One bag costs one yuan. Eat it while it's hot. First, it'll help your stomach. I'll buy you a drink when I return to the guest house later." Luo Bing said, taking out a steamed bun and stuffing it into his mouth.

Li Weidong bumped the weight of the bag with his hand. Although he didn't know how many buns there were in it, in terms of prices in 1985, this Goubuli bun was quite expensive, at least more expensive than the Tao Su from the supply and marketing cooperative.

A lot more expensive.

Li Weidong took out a bun and took a bite. The taste was indeed much better than that of Goubuli in later generations. The crystal clear fat inside looked very appetizing.

In that era when people were generally short of fat and water in their stomachs, these fat buns were considered an excellent delicacy.

"Xiao Li, it's all thanks to you this time. If it weren't for you, I don't know when I would be able to pick up the car." Luo Bing chewed the buns and said vaguely.

After seeing Li Weidong's Japanese ability, Zhou Fulai immediately asked Li Weidong to stay and serve as an interpreter to receive foreign guests.

Of course, Li Weidong couldn't refuse. After all, he still expected someone to sign to pick up the car. After Li Weidong agreed, Zhou Fulai signed the letter happily and personally called Jinmen Port to arrange the pick-up of the car.

With Zhou Fulai's call, Luo Bing would definitely go to pick up the car smoothly.

It's just that Li Weidong has to stay in Jinmen for a few more days, at least until the foreign guests leave before he can return to Qinghe.

The last time, Li Weidong stayed at Huanghe Factory for more than 20 days, and was recorded as absenteeism and almost had his salary deducted.

This time Li Weidong learned his lesson and asked Zhou Fulai to issue a formal letter, stamp it with the official seal of the Foreign Trade Bureau, and then asked Luo Bing to take it back as a basis for his request for leave.

After all, the Foreign Trade Bureau is an agency, and a letter with an official seal has administrative effect. Even if it is not an order, it is legitimate. At least it can prevent Li Weidong from being recorded as absent from work.

Luo Bing devoured the buns and said at the same time: "Xiao Li, I really didn't expect you to have this ability. You can speak Japanese better than that university teacher! But that university teacher's Japanese level is only half-baked. He can't even filter."

For a simple word like qingqi, you have to look it up in a dictionary."

"Team Luo, you don't understand this. Language is divided into phonograms and ideograms. Phonograms are when you see the word and know how to pronounce it, but you don't know what it means. And ideograms are when you see the word,

Then you can know what it means. Just like our Chinese, it is an ideogram." Li Weidong explained.

However, when facing Luo Bing, who was not highly educated, he did not explain too profoundly.

"In other words, teacher Xu can read the word "filter" in Japanese, but he has to look it up in a dictionary to know that he is talking about "filter"? Luo Bing's mind is still very flexible, and he instantly understood what Li Weidong meant.

Most of the languages ​​in the world are phonetic scripts, and only a few languages ​​such as Chinese are ideographic scripts.

There are not too many letters in phonetic characters. For example, English only has 26 letters, compared with thousands of commonly used Chinese characters.

However, Chinese has an advantage, that is, the words can convey the meaning, which phonetic writing cannot do.

Take the word "diabetes" for example. Even a primary school student can understand the meaning after seeing these three words. "Disease" represents a disease, and "diabetes" is a symptom, so "diabetes" is a symptom.

The disease called "diabetes".

The English word "diabetes" is a separate word. Even if you are a British person with a doctorate degree, as long as you don't study this word specifically, you won't know what "diabetes" means just by looking at it.

This is a major feature of phonetic writing. There are many professional terms that people in this industry will use, and only people in this industry will learn them specifically.

Japanese contains kanji and kana, of which kanji are ideograms and kana are phonetic characters. Many professional terms and foreign words in Japanese use kana. Therefore, in many professional fields, people who understand professional terminology are needed.

Translate.

…

Early the next morning, Luo Bing said goodbye to Li Weidong.

"Xiao Li, we went to the customs to pick up the car and went back directly. Take care of yourself in Jinmen. If you have any difficulties, go directly to the transportation company in Jinmen and find Director Liu of the Freight Department. Then we will mention Director Zhao.

Just your name will do." Luo Bing asked.

"Director Liu of the Freight Department, I remember it." Li Weidong nodded.

Luo Bing took out another handful of money and stuffed it into Li Weidong's hand: "It's okay to go out without money. I guess you don't have much money with you when you go out this time. You can take the money first, poor family and rich family

That’s the way!”

"Captain Luo, I still have some money, not to mention that the Foreign Trade Bureau will arrange for my food and accommodation. This time I am hosting foreign guests, and the Foreign Trade Bureau will not treat me badly." Li Weidong declined.

"Take it, if anything happens, you can deal with it. Even if I borrowed this money from you, you have to pay it back to me when you get back." Luo Bing forced the money into Li Weidong's hand.

Li Weidong felt warm in his heart. He put the money away and said, "Thank you, Captain Luo. I will return the money to you when I get back."

Luo Bingze continued: "I will give the letter from the Foreign Trade Bureau to Director Zhao when I get back. Director Zhao will report this matter to the company leaders, so you can rest assured. Those grandsons in the Human Resources Department will definitely

I dare not remember you for being absent from work again."

"Captain Luo, I need to trouble you with one more thing." Li Weidong handed a paper bag tied with a string to Luo Bing's hand, and then said: "Please take this bag of twists to my house for my parents, by the way.

, please don’t give it to my brother directly. My brother is not good at studying, but he is very greedy and doesn’t have enough to eat!”

"I got it." Luo Bing took the twist and said, "If you have nothing else to do, go to the Foreign Trade Bureau as soon as possible. Don't make people wait in a hurry!"

…

When Li Weidong came to the Foreign Trade Bureau, Zhou Fulai was already waiting there.

"Teacher Xiao Li, have you had breakfast? If not, I will ask someone to get you a set of fruit?" Zhou Fulai asked with an attentive look.

"I've already eaten. What I ate was pancakes and fruit." Li Weidong replied.

"Are you full? It doesn't matter if you are not. Eat more at noon. The meals for foreign guests are still very rich." Zhou Fulai looked at Li Weidong and then asked: "Mr. Xiao Li,

How tall are you?"

"One meter eight." Li Weidong replied.

"What size shoes should I wear?" Zhou Fulai asked again.

"No. 43." Li Weidong replied with a blank look on his face. He didn't quite understand why Zhou Fulai suddenly cared about his height and shoe size.

Zhou Fulai immediately gave the answer: "Because we are receiving foreign guests, your work clothes are not good. You have to change into a suit and leather shoes. After a while, I will ask someone to bring a 1.8 meter suit and a pair of size 43."

Come here and try on the leather shoes first. There are also some diplomatic etiquette and some confidentiality matters that you may not know about. I will ask Xiao Zhang in the office to tell you."

Li Weidong was suddenly pleasantly surprised: "This foreign trade department is so generous. They came to help them with their work and even gave them a suit and leather shoes. After rounding up, they made another 100 million!"
