Those years when I raised bosses

The next day, Tong Tong took He Xiaolu for a stroll around University C in the morning, and then took the bus to the Zoo Wholesale Market.This time, it is mainly to prepare for stocking up during the graduation sale in a few days.

University C usually has a group of graduates in mid-July who are anxious to leave school to dispose of all kinds of unused items. Students in school often rush to take final exams, and there are few people who pay attention to dumping goods. As a result, graduates and even boxes of things they can’t take away are garbage. Throw it away, and it will be cheaper for the waste collector.The freshmen basically report to the school around September, and there is a time gap of one and a half months.Graduates can wait until September to return to school to set up stalls.

Tong Tong plans to collect graduates’ materials at a low price, store them in a place by category, and set up a stall when the freshmen report in early September.It is best to borrow a certain place in University C for this inventory warehouse, but there are some inconspicuous places in the school that are large enough to store idle materials.If you find the right place, you can completely reduce the cost of storing things, and you don't have to carry them back and forth inside and outside the school.

In his previous life, Tong Tong happened to know a faculty member in the school who had such a spare space, Mr. Fei from the boiler room. University C is self-heating. The boiler room is very large and is only used in winter. The workers in the boiler room have a duty room where they can stay. The interior of the boiler room is also amazingly large except for the equipment.Tong Tong's dormitory at C University was forced to be vacated during a certain summer vacation due to maintenance. At that time, she was forced to pack up all her belongings and find a place to store them.I got to know Uncle Fei through a friend's introduction, and it turned out that several girls from the same dormitory borrowed the space in the boiler room and kept it properly.

Tong Tong didn't know if there was Uncle Fei still in this time and space, so when he was strolling in the morning, he went to the vicinity of the big boiler room in C that he remembered, and saw that familiar figure, so he felt relieved.Tong Tong chatted a few words as a family member of C family, trying to find out the meaning that Uncle Fei really accepted the temporary storage items.After parting, Uncle Fei gave He Xiaolu a piece of candy.

Sometimes taking the baby out to do errands can actually reap a lot of goodwill.

Tong Tong approved hundreds of prayer and blessing cards in the wholesale market. The single-page paper is bright red, has a hanging string, and can write on both sides of the paper.When collecting materials for graduates in the future, every student who is destined can leave a blessing for the new students on the card.It can attract students when receiving the goods. When selling these second-hand goods in the future, get a few colored ropes and hang these prayer and blessing cards, which is also a means of publicity.

Tong Tong set the price of the goods according to his experience in his previous life, focusing on those professional books and the lecture notes and notes of famous professors.Ordinary books depend on the quality, 1-2 yuan a book, valuable professional books and those general books with good quality, 5-10 yuan a book, depending on the specific situation.This is beyond the ability of ordinary waste collectors to distinguish.In his previous life, Tong Tong was very familiar with the mainstream majors and commonly used books of C University. He knew all kinds of books that were in high demand for majors, as well as those general books such as those for postgraduate entrance examinations and English, and he was able to sort the goods with ease.

In addition to these preparations, Tong Tong also bought some office stationery, binders, A4 paper, signature pens, painting supplies, etc. With these materials, he can make his own planning book.In the era when laptops were still a luxury, it was not something that a random printing company could do to make a printed plan with computer office software.

Tong Tong also bought a stylish backpack, put all the things purchased today into it and carried it on the back, and took He Xiaolu to eat a foreign fast food around, bought mineral water and snacks, and then strolled to the zoo.Today's goal is the aquarium!At this time, the aquarium tickets of more than a hundred yuan are no longer an obstacle.

Back home in the evening, He Xiaolu chattered non-stop along the way. The fresh experience in the aquarium broadened his horizons, and even made him set up a small career wish: "Dad, if I study hard, I will pass the exam. University C, can you work in a zoo or aquarium in the future?"

"?" Tong Tong smiled, "You, it shouldn't be a problem for you to study hard and go to C University, but it's hard to work in a zoo or an aquarium."

He Xiaolu was puzzled and said, "Why? Didn't Dad say that C University is the best university in the capital?"

"Do you think that only exceptional talents can work in such a good unit?"

He Xiaolu nodded: "The zoo and the aquarium are fun, and the tickets are also very expensive. Can you earn a lot of money by working in them? You can go every day without buying tickets."

"Although there are many things that can't be done without money, making money is not the only purpose of life." Tong Tong knew that He Xiaolu had been living in a relatively poor environment as long as he could remember, and was sensitive and persistent about money. , is really a waste of his ingenuity, he must subtly broaden his outlook on life and values,

"There is a lot of happiness in this world that money cannot buy. Your talent is very good. Going to C University is just a small short-term goal. Maybe you will achieve it earlier than other children, and even better schools in the world will come to recruit you , to provide you with complete learning funds and guarantees. After you finish your undergraduate studies, you will then have a master’s, doctoral, etc. study stage. Then, you use what you have learned to invent and create, improve the living standards of all mankind, and make things that others cannot do Results, the happiness at that time was definitely more than visiting the zoo and aquarium.”

He Xiaolu's eyes sparkled and he looked at his father expectantly: "Really? It's more fun than going to the zoo and aquarium?"

"Of course. You don't have to worry about money. Dad will support you when he is by your side. At least he can teach you how to earn money by self-reliance. And if you can transform technological inventions into applicable products, people will naturally invest in you Projects, when the time comes, you can do your favorite scientific research while not worrying about food, clothing and money, isn’t it better?” Although the hardships of the learning process and the difficulties of scientific research and innovation are omitted, Tong Tong feels that he has been instilled in He Xiaolu with technological innovation since he was a child. Is it very noble to cultivate the small flowers of the motherland for the bright future of our country?

"So what are the requirements for the staff of the zoo and aquarium? Why didn't Dad apply for a job there? Dad is so strong, he must be able to do it!"

Why is the silly boy still struggling with this?Tong Tong said nonsense in a serious manner: "Actually, that kind of job is very popular in the emperor. Dad's education is not right, at least he must have a major in veterinary medicine or zoology."

"Does C University have these majors?"

"Maybe not……"

He Xiaolu seemed a little disappointed: "It seems that C University is not particularly strong or good."

Well, the notion that a college isn't a good college without veterinary medicine and zoology sounds about as good as it gets.Tong Tong tried his best to change the topic to urging He Xiaolu to review the knowledge he had learned recently.

After dinner, Tong Tong arranged for He Xiaolu to carry out simple big movement training at home, which can not only help digestion, but also allow children to develop morally, intellectually, physically, aesthetically and in an all-round way.At 08:30, after coaxing He Xiaolu to sleep, Tong Tong started the desk work on the fashion store planning book.

While lying on the paper and writing and drawing bitterly, Tong Tong was thinking about when he would save enough money to buy a laptop in Guanzhong Village.Although the storage space of computers in this era is pitifully small, and large-capacity files need to be burned to CDs, it is much more convenient to work with computers than to write by hand.Buying a portable phone will also help you negotiate business with people in the future, and you don’t need to print and just use the computer to display and communicate.

In the early morning of the next day, after the morning study, Tong Tong hadn't received the notice from Mr. Tian Feng that he didn't need to go, so he changed into the clothes he bought in the mall and took He Xiaolu out.I had breakfast on the side of the road, and took a few bus stops to Minzu University.

At the entrance of the theater, he saw a minibus parked with a capacity of more than a dozen people, and there were German safety notices on the window. Tong Tong quickly looked at the old Shanghai watch on his wrist to confirm that he was not late.Could it be that the German Art Troupe has arrived early?

When Tong Tong walked into the theater with He Xiaolu in his arms, no one stopped him, and the security guard who was supposed to be at the door was also helping to arrange the discussion tables and chairs in the theater.

Tian Feng brought people from the Starlight Theater Troupe together with a group of blond foreigners, surrounded by a thin and small boy, chatting about something in a hurry.The boy looks more like a college student. He speaks a few words of German and a few words of Chinese. It sounds like Mandarin Chinese is barely acceptable, but German is really the wrong way to speak in most cases, and it cannot clearly convey the meaning of Chinese. , which makes it difficult for foreigners to understand.

"Mr. Tian, ​​have you invited someone else to come?" Tong Tong didn't mind being let go, and the situation was still unclear, so it would be bad if someone else was wrong.

Tian Feng got out of the crowd as if seeing a savior, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Mr. He, today is the German theater troupe. They suddenly adjusted their schedule and arrived more than an hour earlier. I followed your suggestion to go to C I found a student who is a second foreign language majoring in German, thinking that it would be easier to communicate with more people. He has a mobile phone, and today the incident happened unexpectedly, so I called him first. But... that classmate seems to be communicating It's still a little hard."

Tong Tong did not comment on that student. Everyone has something they are good at. The boy's limited German skills are indeed not suitable for interpretation.Moreover, these foreigners obviously don't know much about Chinese culture. When they came to the imperial capital, they were all kinds of curious, asking this question and that question without a clue. It would be very laborious to deal with them one by one.The smart way should be to set up a set of rhetoric in advance, give you a tour-guided explanation, and focus everyone's thinking and questions on the pre-designed theme content, so that it is convenient for centralized explanation and unified reply.

Tong Tong didn't quarrel with Tian Feng whether he deliberately didn't inform him of such details, and didn't even ask about the hourly price.Only by doing emergency rescue first, and then discussing service charges, can we have more initiative.After listening for a while, Tong Tong roughly sorted out a train of thought, and walked over to make a rescue with He Xiaolu in his arms.

The college student originally wanted to defend his position as an interpreter, but Tong Tong's German not only has standard pronunciation and fluent sentences, but also gives concise answers to the questions asked by foreigners just now. It can be seen that not only the language skills are deep, but also the cultural and artistic accomplishment It is not within the reach of ordinary people.

At the beginning, the gentleman with the baby briefly commented on several famous German writers Goethe, Heine, Günter Grass, Thomas Mann, Kleist, Hermann Hesse, Hertha M. Le, Paul Celan and their works, the original texts are accurately quoted, and especially his views on those famous works that have been adapted into dramas.All of a sudden, the interest of these foreigners was aroused, and then everyone's topics of discussion revolved around some famous dramas, and no longer diverged.

Moreover, this man can also translate Chinese classics and well-known drama works into German just right, and popularize Chinese culture for artists. Although they are all point-to-point, they have shown full cultural confidence. Kind of dog-legged translation.

The college student was immediately convinced, and automatically became Tong Tong's translation assistant. He even took out a recording pen and a small notebook to record at any time. The entire communication process gradually became smoother and became active and profound.

Tian Feng was still a little worried that He Xiaolu couldn't sit still and be mischievous, but seeing the child sitting quietly and obediently beside his father, seeming to be listening attentively to everyone's conversation, he immediately realized that this child was definitely not an ordinary child.

Both sides are very satisfied with the results of such a substantial exchange.For lunch, I ate the special dishes of the Imperial Capital in a high-end restaurant nearby. I used to entertain friends from all over the world. Tong Tong has a lot of experience in translation of dishes, and can express English and German smoothly. The manager of the restaurant personally asked Tong Tong to name the dishes. Keep a set of foreign language translators for entertaining foreign guests in the future.Tong Tong waved his hand, and the college student assistant was honored to write a set of the words that he had just copied in a small notebook and gave it to the restaurant manager.If the manager got a treasure, he gave them a [-]% discount on the banquet price to express his gratitude.

Waiting to see off the foreigners, Tian Feng excitedly presented a big red envelope to Tong Tong, and another one to the college student.The college student blushed and declined, "If Teacher He wasn't here today, I would be able to handle it at my level, which almost delayed Mr. Tian's affairs. If Mr. Tian insists on giving the money, he should give it all to Mr. He. This is also my handover. What about the tuition fees. I just hope that Teacher He can find time to teach me German in the future."
