Chapter 152 If you want to go, you must make big money!
After Jiang Xia and Zhou Chenglei left a department office, they went to a restaurant to eat. After dinner, they went to the publishing house to hand in the translations of two magazines.
Fan Lili was very happy to see Jiang Xia. She casually flipped through the translation Jiang Xia handed in and put it aside.
She was very confident in Jiang Xia's translation.
She said kindly, "The dried fish Yanyan brought back last time was delicious. If you have time, send 100 kilograms to our newspaper cafeteria to try. If everyone likes it, we will place a fixed order of several hundred kilograms every month in the future."
Their publishing house is affiliated with the newspaper, and there are about a hundred people eating there every day. Even if they only eat dried fish two or three times a month, they can still order several hundred kilograms of dried fish every month.
Jiang Xia smiled and said, "Xiao Yan has already told me in the letter, but there are not many dried golden pomfret left at home. Do you want dried redwood fish? If you want, I will bring it next time."
"Okay, dried redwood fish is also good, let's try it first. We can send a few more kinds for everyone to try." Fan Lili responded, and then smiled and mentioned another thing: "Have you heard of the Guangzhou Trade Fair? The Guangzhou Trade Fair will be held in another month. There are several manufacturers in our city participating. Those companies and manufacturers are in urgent need of translators. Xiaoxia, you are so good at foreign languages, are you interested in being a translator?"
Of course Jiang Xia was interested. She had everything she needed now, except money! As long as it could make money, she was interested! She also wanted to see the Guangzhou Trade Fair of this era.
Once her family's fish farm has fish, she will see if she can sell the fish overseas.
Although we don’t have any fish fry now, we still have to have a goal, right?
Jiang Xia said, "I'd like to go and see it. Does it include food and lodging?"
Fan Lili: "Of course it includes food and lodging. I asked around and they charge 10 yuan a day for an English translator and 15 yuan a day for other foreign language translators. For someone like you who knows two or three languages, it's 30 yuan a day, and that includes food and lodging."
Jiang Xia heard this and said, "Actually, I know more than just two or three languages. I've also learned German and Japanese pretty well. I wonder what the reward is for knowing five languages?"
Zhou Chenglei: “…”
He seemed to have listened to her German and Japanese tapes once or twice, and flipped through a few books, and that was enough to learn them? Well, he must have married a language genius!
Fan Lili was also dumbfounded. It hadn't been long since Yanyan brought those books to her? She had already learned almost everything?
Maybe you have learned it before?
She smiled and said, "I didn't ask in detail. How about I recommend you to those manufacturers and you negotiate the compensation directly with them?"
By the way, who wouldn’t join the diplomatic service if he knows five languages, and stay in a small fishing village?
This was exactly what Jiang Xia wanted, so she smiled and said, "Okay, thank you, Editor-in-Chief Fan."
"Why are you being polite? They asked me for help, so I thought of you. You can translate for whoever offers the highest price. Your foreign language skills are so good, I think you should be able to get a higher salary. After all, there are very few people who know foreign languages, and even fewer who know multiple languages. If they hire you, it's like hiring several people. I think a hundred yuan a day is possible. They really need translators."
Although there will be translators on site at the Guangzhou Trade Fair, some manufacturers prefer to hire their own translator, which is more convenient.
Many manufacturers who have participated in the Guangzhou Trade Fair said that there was no translation and they had to rely entirely on sign language.
Jiang Xia smiled and said, "Thank you, Editor-in-Chief Fan. I'll leave you the phone number of our production team. Please help me give it to them and ask them to call me to talk!"
Fan Lili smiled and said, "Okay, then leave me your phone number and I'll give it to manufacturers who need a translator."
Jiang Xia left a phone number and asked the other party to help find some books on aquaculture and breeding techniques in island countries or other overseas countries before saying goodbye and leaving.
After leaving Fan Lili's office, she went to the Finance Department to collect her royalties before leaving the publishing house.
Then Jiang Xia went to the post office and sent a letter to Zhang Fuyan and Jiang Dong.
The letter to Zhang Fuyan mainly told her that a batch of dried fish would be sent to the train station to Beijing in six days, and asked her to pay attention to it.
Jiang Xia took a look at the letter Jiang Dong sent last time. It would take five days to receive it, so she decided to send the dried fish six days later. In this way, after she received the letter, she could go to the train station to pick up the dried fish.
Of course, Jiang Xia also asked Zhang Fuyan to call her after receiving the letter.
In the letter to Jiang Dong, Jiang Xia wanted to ask Jiang Dong if he could ask his seniors or professors in school to design a vacuum packaging machine.
Jiang Dong's major seems to be in mechanical design and manufacturing.
Jiang Xia knew that vacuum machines were already available in this era, but vacuum packaging machines probably weren't. With a vacuum packaging machine, the snacks she wanted to sell could be preserved longer.
But there is no rush, you just need to think about it and prepare step by step in advance.
In the letter, Jiang Xia drew pictures of the appearance and some of the parts of the vacuum packaging machine she had seen, and wrote down all the principles she knew on the letter and sent it to Jiang Dong.
After watching her stuff the letter into the green metal mailbox, Zhou Chenglei pushed his bicycle and asked, "Do you want to go shopping in the department store?"
Jiang Xia walked back to him, shook his head, put his arm around his broad shoulders, and got on the bicycle: "There's nothing to buy, let's go! Let's go to the shipyard to see if our ship is almost finished, and discuss a deal."
As soon as Zhou Chenglei heard it, he understood what business she was talking about.
6◇9◇Book◇Bar
He asked while pedaling his bicycle, "Want to go to the Guangzhou Trade Fair?"
Jiang Xia nodded happily: "Yes."
Then he thought of something and asked again, "Do you want me to go?"
Zhou Chenglei shook her hand and said, "If you want to go, go ahead. I'll accompany you there and then come back. I'll pick you up when you come back."
Although he was reluctant to be separated from her for a month, he said that she could do whatever she wanted.
And by that time he should have the big ship, and if he missed her, he could sail all the way over to see her.
Jiang Xia smiled, put her fingers between his fingers, and interlocked theirs.
Zhou Chenglei responded by holding her hand tightly.
There was smile in both of their eyes and brows.
Zhou Chenglei told her his idea: "If you want to work as a translator at the Guangzhou Fair, I think it would be better to have a commission instead of a fixed salary."
Otherwise, it's not worth it to only get a few dozen yuan a day and live so far away from home! She can earn this much money by going fishing at sea.
Jiang Xia's eyes lit up, and she looked around. They were on their way to the shipyard, and there was no one there. She kissed his back through his shirt as a reward! He and she had the same idea!
She doesn't want to get a fixed salary, she wants to make as much money as possible!
Zhou Chenglei's Adam's apple moved, and he held her hand tightly. If they were not on the main road, he would have wanted to stop the car and hold her in his arms! "Go to bed early tonight." His voice was hoarse.
They hadn't been intimate for two nights.
He wants to make up for it.
