Rebirth: 1977

The three people were mocking and calculating unscrupulously, turning a blind eye to Yin Tianshui who was approaching.

In their eyes, no one here can understand what they are saying.

Yin Tianshui's heart was filled with anger, but his face remained calm.

If their scheme succeeds, people like me will go out and spend huge sums of money to buy back a pile of scrap metal!

How can I stop this purchase?

The people in the delegation had no interaction with him. Would they be willing to listen to a young translator like me?

Even Wu Songhao is only responsible for security work.

They have no say in the purchase of equipment.

In his previous life, Yin Tianshui once heard that in the early days of reform and opening up, we imported a lot of equipment needed by industries, but part of it was 'scrap copper and iron'!

Now, in front of him, there is a pile of "new and brand-new" things that can blind people's eyes - scrap copper and iron.

Our people are still bargaining hard.

Foreign exchange gold in this era is extremely expensive, so it’s good to save one.

These technical people are full of patriotic feelings.

Yin Tianshui walked into the crowd and waved his hand to stop the argument between the two parties. His height and cold aura had an effect.

After everyone looked at him, Yin Tianshui spoke:

"Dear leaders, since we are here to buy their equipment, it is not just a few cents of needles and threads. We don't feel bad if we throw them away if they are not useful.

These equipment are a big deal worth hundreds of millions. We have only seen the product introductions and equipment drawings they provided. Shouldn't we let the other party install and power on all these machines first, and test them for trial operation so that we can see if the quality is good?

Are there any problems?

If a problem is discovered here, their engineers and technicians are also there, allowing them to guide and solve it on the spot.

Moreover, we also have engineers and technicians coming with us. Wouldn’t we just take this opportunity to familiarize ourselves with the installation and operation of the machine, as well as simple internal maintenance?

What should I do if I find the problem after pulling it back?

After they sell the machine to us, will they send people back with us to help us install it and teach our workers how to operate it?

In our sales contract, is there a clause about ‘free after-sales service’?

Also, what if the parts break? How are the prices for wearing parts determined?

If a problem is discovered after returning home, how long will it take for them to come to our country to take care of the repairs?

Is it free for them to send someone to inspect it? Or is it chargeable?

If it is charged, how much does it cost each time for maintenance?

Should all of this be spelled out in the contract?

Also, we are buying their new machines, what is their shelf life?

Did you promise us in the contract? "

An engineer listened carefully to Yin Tianshui's words and said repeatedly:

"Yes, what this young man said makes sense.

We are all unfamiliar with these devices. We don’t know how much time it will take to get familiar with them by ourselves.

Moreover, I bought it once two years ago and had problems with the installation after I returned home. Asking their technicians to help solve the problem was charged a sky-high price.

The usage time after each maintenance is also very short. "

The deputy minister asked the engineer seriously:

“According to your statement, we must stop eating because of choking?

We have learned our lesson and switched to another manufacturer. We have learned through many channels that the quality of this company's products can be guaranteed. "

The engineer was blocked by his leader, so how could he dare to talk back? He looked at Yin Tianshui, shook his head slightly and sighed.

Yin Tianshui looked at the deputy minister with a cold face. He had said so much, but his words were not taken seriously at all.

“Leader, this is a transaction involving about one billion, shouldn’t we be cautious and cautious?

It is a normal requirement to ask them to install the machine and put it into trial operation.

It can avoid buying it back and finding out that the problem cannot be solved and the country loses a huge amount of money.

During their installation process, our engineers and technicians can participate in the installation together and learn along the way.

Once you have learned the operating procedures, you can go back and the machine can be shipped back to your country and put into use. "

Yin Tianshui tried to persuade the deputy minister, but now that there are many people with mixed eyes, he cannot say what he heard.

Moreover, even if he said it, would these leaders believe it?

I have offended the local snakes here in vain.

I can't get enough of my own leadership.

To put it bluntly, in this era, "worshiping foreigners and favoring foreigners" is very serious.

Whether it is the deputy minister or the leader of the Military Control Commission, their positions are not something that Yin Tianshui can compete with.

But let him watch the country spend a lot of money, but what he bought back was a pile of scrap metal?

Yin Tianshui felt uncomfortable.

"What do you, a little translator, know? Do you have a role to speak here?"

A technician looked at the deputy minister's ugly face and immediately stood up and reprimanded Yin Tianshui.

Yin Tianshui looked at him with sharp eyes and asked:

"What do you know? What are you here for? Are you here to watch the fun?"

He thrust the equipment manual into the technician's hand:

"Read out the above instructions for using the machine to everyone, and tell the leader, where is this part on the equipment?

What does this mark mean? "

Yin Tianshui couldn't do anything to the deputy minister, so a technician jumped out and operated on him.

The technician can understand most of the English, but the instructions are all in D, and he is completely blind.

Of course he was not convinced when Yin Tianshui humiliated him in front of the leader.

After all, he is still a full-time cadre.

"Who do you think you are?

Come to test me? What do you know at such a young age?

If I could understand this high-end imported equipment, would we still need to come all the way here to purchase it?

Even our chief engineer didn’t understand it! "

Their argument had long attracted the attention of the foreigners, and the three men had stopped talking and laughing, and had begun to ask for their translators.

"The young man asked you to install the equipment, connect it to power, and then test it for a test run to see if there are any problems.

I want you to teach them how to install and operate the machine. "

Yin Tianshui found that the translator was quite professional and did not make things up out of thin air.

After the translator finished speaking, Yin Tianshui immediately felt venomous snake-like eyes directed at him.

The deputy minister glanced sideways at Yin Tianshui and warned him:

"Watch your mouth, do what you are supposed to do, and there is no need for you to interrupt in other matters!"

His face was majestic and his tone was tough, leaving no room for doubt.

Wu Songhao came in from the outside and happened to see the deputy minister getting angry at Yin Tianshui and hurriedly pulled him out.

Apologize to the leaders:

"I'm sorry, this kid is still a student, young and doesn't understand foreign policy."

Yin Tianshui followed him out of the crowd, his face expressionless.

"what's wrong with you?

Do those things have anything to do with us?

I'm in charge of security and you're in charge of translation.

For the rest, shut your mouth! "

Wu Songhao was a little angry.

What he fears most is making mistakes in transactions.

If he returns safely, he will have completed his mission.

Everyone in this delegation has their own responsibilities, and Yin Tianshui's behavior is beyond the bounds.

Yin Tianshui looked at Wu Songhao calmly. This was the only person he could trust here.

"Director Wu, if I tell you that the machine these people want to sell us is just a pile of scrap metal they have discarded, will you believe me?"
