Chapter 153 Director Zhou is dumbfounded

Zhou Chenglei and Jiang Xia arrived at the shipyard and the guard let them in directly.

Now almost all the technicians in the shipyard know that they are the heroes of the shipyard.

Director Zhou had just finished a meeting and had a sip of water when he received a call from the security guard, informing him that Zhou Chenglei and his wife had arrived, so he stayed in the office to wait for them.

As soon as Jiang Xia and Zhou Chenglei walked into the office, Director Zhou said kindly, "Xiao Xia, you came at the right time. Are you interested in following our shipyard to attend the Guangzhou Trade Fair? One hundred yuan a day, including food and lodging!"

One hundred yuan a day is very high. I guess no manufacturer would pay such a high price for translators.

But Jiang Xia just wants to get commission, the more you work, the more you get!

And if she agreed to the shipyard's salary of 100 yuan a day, Jiang Xia would no longer be able to earn money from other manufacturers.

It's a rare opportunity to encounter such a grand event, so of course, knowledge is wealth is fully utilized! So Jiang Xia said, "Director Zhou, I may not be able to be a translator only for the shipyard, because today the editor-in-chief of the publishing house also asked me to be a translator at the Guangzhou Fair. She recommended several manufacturers to me!"

Director Zhou didn't expect that someone else would get there first! He ignored the word "only". When he heard that she might work as an interpreter for someone else and not for the shipyard, he got anxious. He had already reserved a position for her as the interpreter at the shipyard and had never thought of using anyone else. Director Xu agreed.

"Xiao Xia, our shipyard needs you very much. Director Xu and I have already reserved a position for you. Other factories pay you a certain amount per day, and we can give you the same amount here!"

He just didn't believe that there was any other manufacturer in the city that was as wealthy as their shipyard! One hundred a day, that's a lot!

Jiang Xia smiled and said, "It's not a matter of money. I've already promised the editor-in-chief of the publishing house to talk to people from other manufacturers. I'm not just translating for one manufacturer, I'm translating for several, so it's hard to postpone it."

Upon hearing this, Director Zhou said, "Xiao Xia, you work as an interpreter for several companies, why don't you work for our shipyard? Do you ignore our friendship? Let's help together! Don't leave out our shipyard! I'll still give you 100 yuan a day!"

Jiang Xia smiled and said, "Then you don't have to pay me 100 yuan a day. After all, I have to help translate for several factories and can't stay at the shipyard all day. How about this, I don't want a 100 yuan a day salary. If I can negotiate an order with the shipyard, you only need to give me a commission of 0.1% of the transaction amount. If the deal fails, you don't have to pay me. This way, the shipyard will not lose money, and I don't have to be embarrassed. Director Zhou, what do you think?"

When Director Zhou heard this, he was surprised: "0.1% commission? How is it calculated?"

Jiang Xia: "I don't need to be paid by the shipyard for my translation work. As long as I close a deal, the shipyard will give me a commission of 0.1% of the transaction amount. That is, if I close a deal of 100 yuan, I will get 10 cents, and if I close a deal of 1,000 yuan, I will get 1 yuan. If I fail, I don't need to be paid."

No deal, no reward. Director Zhou felt that Jiang Xia was at a disadvantage. "Then you are at a disadvantage, aren't you?"

If the deal doesn't work out, won't it be a waste of time? Jiang Xia smiled and said, "It's just a part-time job anyway! I also have to translate for other manufacturers, and I get commissions there too. With so many manufacturers, I can't fail to close a single deal, right? But if Director Zhou thinks I've lost money, next time we come to buy a ship, just give us a lower price!"

Why would you lose anything? All the people attending the Guangzhou Trade Fair are foreign businessmen. If a deal can be concluded, the value will be in the hundreds of thousands, millions, or even tens of millions!

If you negotiate a hundred thousand, you will get one hundred yuan, if you negotiate a million, you will get one thousand yuan, and if you negotiate a million, you will get ten thousand yuan! Although it is not certain that the deal will be successful, but if you want to make a small amount of money, you should seek stability, earn a few dozen or a hundred yuan a day, and after participating in a Guangzhou Trade Fair, you can steadily earn thousands of yuan.

But if you want to make big money, you have to take risks! As the saying goes, a bicycle can turn into a motorcycle if you take a risk!

She just wanted to give up her stability and take a chance to earn ten thousand yuan a day and make a fortune.

After all, the Guangzhou Trade Fair lasts about half a month. If she only gets a salary of a few hundred yuan a day, she might as well go out to sea!

You can also earn a few hundred yuan a day by going fishing at sea.

Director Zhou said, "Don't worry about this. We have agreed that you will get discounts when you buy ships in the future. So you really don't want compensation, just commission? If the deal fails, you won't get a penny!"

Jiang Xia: "I'm very sure. Since I'm not just translating for the shipyard, I don't take a salary, just a commission is fine!"

After hearing this, Director Zhou said, "Okay then! Then your translation compensation will only be calculated based on commission. Don't regret it!"

One hundred yuan a day, and after a Guangzhou Fair, she can definitely earn more than 1,500 yuan. How big an order does she have to negotiate to get the commission?

Jiang Xia smiled and said, "How could that be! If the deal is successful, Director Zhou, don't go back on your word and not give me the 0.1% commission."

"That's absolutely not the case! What kind of person would I be if I didn't pay you even if you made the deal? Our shipyard is so big, we must keep our word!"

Jiang Xia smiled and said, "That's fine, it's settled. I will only take 0.1% of the transaction amount as a commission. It's the transaction amount, not the profit!"

"Okay! I know the transaction amount."

Jiang Xia asked again: "Director Zhou, is the Kent Ring ready?"

When talking about this, Director Zhou was beaming with joy: "It's almost done! We can definitely bring it to the Guangzhou Trade Fair. We have also developed the calcium silicate preheating you mentioned before. We tried it and it works very well!"

Jiang Xia felt relieved after hearing this and said with a smile: "That's good!"

As your skills improve, your chances of closing a deal increase!

At this moment, neither Jiang Xia nor Director Zhou had expected that the improvements in these two technologies would shine at the Guangzhou Trade Fair, especially the Kent Ring.

"Then how long will it take for my ship to be delivered?"

6◇9◇Book◇Bar

Director Zhou smiled and said, "If you didn't come, I was just about to call you to inform you. Come on the 10th! The new ship can be launched on that day. After launching, if there are no problems after testing, the ship can be delivered!"

Isn't the 10th the second day of August, the day they started construction on their house? Jiang Xia looked at Zhou Chenglei.

Zhou Chenglei understood her look and nodded: "It was that day."

Jiang Xia smiled, it was really a double happiness.

Only nine days left, almost there! Director Zhou: "What are you doing on that day? Do you have something to do?"

Jiang Xia: "It's okay. You can come and collect the boat if you need anything. That day is a good day. There is a happy event in the village."

After hearing this, Director Zhou said, "Yes, that day was a good day. I picked a good day to hold the new ship launching ceremony."

Jiang Xia asked Director Zhou for some information about the shipyard so that he could take a look at it in advance and prepare for the Guangzhou Trade Fair, and then said goodbye and left.

After the two men left, Director Zhou calculated the commission of 0.1%, and how big a deal he would have to close to earn 1,500 yuan.

After all, he had never heard of anyone asking for commission instead of salary compensation. Most people just get a fixed salary.

The result of the calculation was shocking!

Can you get a commission of 1,500 for a transaction volume of 1.5 million?

His heart skipped a beat. If the transaction amount was 10 million, wouldn't he be able to get a commission of tens of thousands of yuan?

Shit! Director Zhou's heart was beating wildly. Could it be that Xiao Xia was confident that she could negotiate an order worth tens of millions?

Director Zhou: Damn! I got fooled! Haha…

Guess how many tens of thousands Xiao Xia can earn with that mouth?
