Chapter 100 No wonder my son is worried that his daughter-in-law will run away all day!
Jiang Xia discovered that one of the foreigners was Amy's father.
Jill also recognized Jiang Xia and asked in surprise: "Miss Jiang, why are you here?"
Jiang Xia smiled and replied in French: "I'm here to buy a boat."
At this time, the foreigner next to Jill asked in English: "Jill, do you know this beautiful lady?"
Jill: “She helped me find my daughter at the train station the other day.”
As soon as John heard this, he thanked Jiang Xia.
Jiang Xia smiled and replied, "You're welcome," then said that he was going home and said goodbye to them.
Father Zhou looked at Jiang Xia speaking foreign languages fluently with foreigners, his eyes full of stars: My God, my daughter-in-law is so amazing! He looked at Zhou Chenglei with disdain: No wonder my son is worried about his daughter-in-law running away all day! At this time, Director Zhou hurried out and looked at Jiang Xia in surprise. Now fishermen can speak French and English?
Or have highly educated people also started fishing for a living?
Director Zhou is not the director, he is the deputy director, in charge of technical matters. In English he only knows basic greetings and the names of some ship accessories, but he cannot understand French at all.
This person was recommended by a foreign businessman before. He came for a sudden visit without any preparation. The factory director was looking for a French translator, but he would arrive in an hour!
After saying goodbye to the two foreigners, Jiang Xia called Zhou Chenglei to go home.
"Wait! Comrade Jiang, please wait!"
Director Zhou immediately said to Jiang Xia, "Comrade Jiang, these two foreign guests have come to visit us unexpectedly, and my translator has not arrived yet. Could you please help me translate? This order is very important to our shipyard. If it is successful, it will generate a lot of foreign exchange for the country."
Jiang Xia looked at Zhou Chenglei and Zhou's father: "Dad, I'll help the shipyard as a translator for a while, shall we go back later?"
Zhou Chenglei naturally had no objection.
The country is now vigorously developing its economy, and earning foreign exchange through exports is indeed very important. Zhou's father knows a little about this.
Father Zhou thought it was an honorable thing to do, and if he helped Director Zhou, he might be able to buy ships cheaper in the future. He immediately said, "This is an important matter, of course we have to help! Director Zhou just did us a big favor!"
Jiang Xia said to Director Zhou: "I can help translate, but I'm afraid I don't understand some of the professional terms."
Director Zhou breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "It's okay, our translator will be here soon. You can just help me deal with it temporarily, I really don't understand this French."
"Okay, I'll try."
Jiang Xia smiled and said to Jill and John, "The shipyard's translator hasn't arrived yet. Do you mind if I temporarily serve as your translator?"
Jill said happily: "Miss Jiang speaks French well, I feel more at ease with you translating."
So Jiang Xia introduced himself to the three people, and then they went into the shipyard for a tour together.
Director Zhou introduced the shipyard's current shipbuilding technology, and Jiang Xia translated it into French and English.
Moreover, when faced with questions from Jill who spoke French and John who spoke English, she relayed them to Director Zhou and after getting the answers, she translated them for the two foreign businessmen, translating them into both English and French.
He switches between French and English so fluently and effortlessly without even thinking.
Moreover, when Jiang Xia was translating, she not only accurately relayed Director Zhou's words, but also appropriately beautified the shipyard and the shipworkers' meticulousness and craftsmanship from the details she saw.
Her voice is clear and ethereal, and her words are serious and focused, yet humorous and witty, making people smile. French is also a pleasant language, making people feel gentle and pleasant when listening to it, like a gentle breeze blowing through pine trees...
Zhou Chenglei's eyes never left her for a second.
Father Zhou looked very proud, because his tablet was really popular! After the introduction, Jill and John were very satisfied with the shipyard's technology.
But when Director Zhou introduced the Kent ring, Jill said, "The Kent rings you produce in China are not fine enough, and the load capacity does not meet our requirements. I want to use the ones from Country D."
Jill said again very firmly: "The Kent ring must be from Country D. Otherwise, I will not produce ships for your shipyard."
In fact, before coming to China, John did not believe in China's shipbuilding technology, but he could not resist the favorable prices. He also heard from friends that the ships built in China are good and the prices are more favorable than those in Country D, which can save a lot of money, so they came to take a look.
Now that they have visited the shipyard, they feel that it is indeed good and the technology is not backward. After hearing Jiang Xia's explanation, they even feel that this shipyard really pays attention to details and strives for excellence.
However, after comparing the Kent Ring with that in Country D, they were not satisfied.
Jiang Xia translated John and Jill's words to Director Zhou.
Director Zhou frowned when he heard this. A large cargo ship needs a lot of Kent rings.
If we use the Kent Rings imported from Country D, then one ship would have to cost an extra 100,000 in foreign exchange. How could that be possible?
"What do Mr. John and Mr. Gill dislike about the Kent Ring in our shipyard?"
Jiang Xia then translated it for John and Jill.
Jill had a good impression of Jiang Xia because she helped him find the child, so he said honestly: "The Kent rings from Country D are more accurate than those from your country, and their load capacity is also higher than the Kent rings produced by your Chinese shipyard. We want to order a 26,000-ton bulk carrier, and we are afraid that your Kent rings will not be enough."
John: "If you can make Kent rings that are more precise and can carry a higher load than those made in D, we will consider using your Kent rings."
Jill also mentioned the advantages of Country D’s Kent Ring.
Jiang Xia translated it for Director Zhou.

Director Zhou thought for a moment and said, "I promise that we can make Kent rings that meet the requirements of Mr. John and Mr. Jill! As long as we make better Kent rings, I hope Mr. Jill and Mr. John will choose our Chinese Kent rings."
Every export order has countless technical problems to overcome. Over the years, Director Zhou and the technical staff in the shipyard have overcome countless technical problems.
He believed that even a Kent Ring could not stop their technicians.
Their shipyard only hopes to keep improving and their technology will become more and more advanced.
Jiang Xia translated for John and Jill.
John: "No problem. As long as you can make a better Kent ring than Country D, we will of course choose the better one. But if you can't make it, then we must use Country D's."
Next, they continued to visit other places, and even visited the boat that Jiang Xia and Zhou Chenglei had just bought.
The ship is basically completed, with some equipment yet to be installed.
Jiang Xia liked it at first sight, mainly because this boat was much bigger than the one at home and looked majestic.
It is indeed a large ship that can sail to the distant seas.
Fishing boats also have different specifications, including large, medium and small. Marine fishing boats are divided into three navigation areas: coastal, offshore and offshore. A 24-meter boat is considered a large fishing boat, and the configuration of the fishing boat just now is just enough to qualify for offshore operations.
Ocean-going fishing vessels have requirements for the ship's endurance, stability, speed, oil tanks, fish hold capacity, refrigeration, electromechanical equipment, etc.
After all, the ship is too small and the fish hold is not large enough to make it cost-effective to go out to the open sea. The fuel cost for a round trip is lost. 24 meters is the minimum standard, and it is difficult to design for less than 24 meters.
Zhou's father also liked it and touched it everywhere excitedly.
This boat was definitely the most beautiful thing in the village when it sailed back to the village! Their village didn't have a large ship that could go out to sea, and this was the first one in the village.
One ship is as powerful as three of Zhou Bingqiang's. Let's see how he can be proud in front of him? Zhou Chenglei saw that Jiang Xia and Zhou's father liked it, so he stopped worrying.
Although the configuration of this ship is not very high, it is undeniably economical and practical.
The price is also very reasonable, after all, the boat was booked three years ago.
They really got a great bargain.
At least I can save several thousand dollars, and the ship can be delivered in two months, so I can make money much faster then.
