Siheyuan: I earned foreign exchange in the heyday

Seeing Chen Changan's surprised expression, the big leader laughed happily again.

"Don't be surprised. There are generals, diplomats, scientific researchers, and leaders of various departments sitting in this conference room.

The only thing is that no one understands economics.

Although you are a factory manager, you still understand economics better than the rest of us.

I won't give you any conditions, you just need to find out what they think.

We'll discuss it later, what do you think?"

Need I say more? The big boss has already called him, so Chen Changan has to go even if he doesn't want to.

Then, under the encouraging gaze of the big leader, Chen Changan came to the place where the big households were resting.

When the wealthy saw Chen Changan coming, they immediately showed expressions of "as expected".

Before coming, they learned from special channels about Chen Changan's important role in this country.

Previously, at the car factory, an order for 10,000 pickup trucks was placed. At that time, Chen Changan thought it was too little.

Just now, a few people were discussing whether they could impress Chen Changan by increasing the order of pickup trucks.

Unexpectedly, after a while, Chen Changan arrived at their residence.

Being able to come to their residence means that Chen Changan is likely to be fully responsible for this negotiation.

The person responsible for the translation was still Zheng, but this time he was a little nervous.

Before, I just introduced the situation at the car factory.

But this time is different. If you don’t hear what is said clearly or translate the meaning wrongly, it will be no joke.

But looking behind me, I saw several translators were also on standby.

I am just afraid that there will be a problem with one of the translations, which will lead to errors.

"Chen Changan, we meet again. I hope your coming this time can bring us good news."

After hearing the translation, Chen Changan nodded.

“Of course, my arrival does bring you good news.

After discussion, we have decided that the weapons you want to purchase can be sold to you.

Now we can talk about volume and price.”

Translator Zheng was stunned.

Translator Zheng also sat in on the meeting just now. The big boss asked Chen Changan to come just to test the other party's bottom line.

As a result, Chen Changan took on the responsibility right from the start and said directly that it could be sold.

The big boss didn't say it could be sold in the meeting just now, he just asked Chen Changan to ask about the price.

"Director Chen, I cannot translate what you said. You do not have the right to sell weapons.

If I translate this, it may cause misunderstanding. "

Chen Changan looked at Zheng the translator and thought, maybe this guy is a fool?

The big boss asked Chen Changan to be in charge of the negotiations, so Chen Changan is the person in charge of this negotiation.

Moreover, the leader did not say that weapons could be sold.

But as long as you agree to negotiate, doesn’t that mean you can sell it?

Does it require the big leader to say it himself?

He couldn't even understand what his superiors meant. Chen Changan really didn't know how he ended up being an interpreter for his superiors.

Chen Changan said to the leader of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs behind him.

"Leader, I think it would be better to replace this translator Zheng."

Translator Zheng wanted to say something else, but this Foreign Ministry leader was his boss's boss.

He glared at Zheng the translator, and Zheng the translator suddenly dared not speak.

“Director Chen is the person in charge of the negotiations, so it is up to Director Chen to decide how to speak.

As a translator, you just need to do your job well.

You don’t need to question the decisions of the leaders.”

Translator Zheng had no choice but to translate what Chen Changan had just said to the wealthy people.

The leader also looked at the people behind Translator Zheng and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw them nod.

Even their Ministry of Foreign Affairs lacks talent, especially those who are proficient in foreign languages.

Especially for some minor languages, even fewer people can master them.

Although Arabic is not a minority language, it is compared with English, French and Spanish.

Even fewer people are fluent in Arabic.

Being a translator requires more than just being able to speak a few words.

It may even require you to know more than the average local person.

After all, some people speak with dialects and accents.

In addition, you also need to understand some local idioms, proverbs, and professional vocabulary.

Especially when translating for a leader, if there is even a single word mistake, it will be a disaster.

It is possible to misunderstand the other party's meaning. This is a big event. It is also a diplomatic event.

You misunderstood the other party's meaning, and then when signing the contract you discovered that your understanding was wrong.

I'm afraid it's going to be a joke at this moment.

But translator Zheng speaks the best Arabic in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Even if translator Zheng did something he shouldn't have done, the leaders of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs did not dare to replace him easily.

Translator Zheng felt that Chen Changan was talking nonsense without authorization from his superiors.

If the higher-ups are held accountable, I'm afraid even he, the translator, will be held accountable.

As a translator, don’t you know what can be translated and what cannot be translated?

But since the leader of my department has already spoken.

Even if someone holds you accountable later, it will have nothing to do with you.

Since they have already severed their connection, it doesn't matter to translator Zheng.

Chen Changan saw the helpless expression of the leader of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and he understood.

This translator either has a great background or is very capable.

In this occasion, no matter what the background is, it is probably not going to work.

It seems that he is a person with great abilities.

I sighed in my heart, the country is short of talents.

However, seeing that Zheng the translator was translating honestly, Chen Changan was too lazy to pay attention to him.

Chen Changan also saw the eye contact between the leaders of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and other translators just now.

This kind of person relies on his own abilities, and even if you sue him, it will be difficult to change anything.

"The big players said they don't know the exact data of the missiles yet. Only with accurate data can they determine the quantity and price."

Chen Changan nodded and spoke.

"Do you need a 200-kilometer missile?"

Translator Zheng looked at Chen Changan again.

I really don’t know what the boss was thinking when he asked Chen Changan to come to negotiate.

This man never told the truth when facing the foreign delegation.

But these have nothing to do with him. Then he continued to translate for the big investors.

"A range of two hundred kilometers is too short. We need more advanced weapons."

"Is a 300-kilometer range necessary?"

Chen Changan’s idea was very simple. It was not easy to get data, so he just gave it to them.

If it were in the future, there would be nothing to say, and we would have everything we wanted.

But that’s not possible now. The latest model of missile has a range of only about 600 kilometers.

If we report the data as soon as we open our mouth, and if the big investors don't buy, the news will be exposed.

If I make money, it would be fine if it was exposed, but there is no certainty whether I will buy it or not.
