Chapter 11 Showing off one's skills
Xu Weiguo was stunned.
The little girl in front of him was about seventeen or eighteen years old, with a pair of sparkling eyes, and after reacting with joy like a mouse seeing a cat, Xu Weiguo was immediately ecstatic.
"Do you know English?"
Shen Sangyu nodded: "I can, you can take me to your factory to see, if not, you can find someone else."
Xu Weiguo was very excited. He thought the factory would have to pay a lot of money this time, but who knew there would be a way out.
"Okay, as long as you can translate smoothly, I will give you fifty yuan as a translation fee."
Now it was Shen Sangyu's turn to be shocked.
Fifty yuan is already a huge sum of money in this era.
Wen Qingchuan worked hard for a month and only got seventy or eighty yuan, and it was still considered a high salary.
And I just did the translation, but I was given so much at once.
Seeing Shen Sangyu's determination, Xu Weiguo couldn't help but pour cold water on her: "It's not enough to just know English, there are many professional terms."
Shen Sangyu said: "Don't worry, Mr. Xu, I will definitely not let you down."
Seeing this, Xu Weiguo couldn't help but have a little more hope.
The things in the factory were urgent, and he didn't waste any time and took Shen Sangyu to the factory.
Along the way, Shen Sangyu learned that Xu Weiguo's factory was a steel plant and could afford to buy equipment. It seemed that this factory director had some other abilities besides money.
The steel plant was far away in the suburbs, and Xu Weiguo drove a blue Jaguar when he came.
After staggering to the steel plant, Shen Sangyu looked up and saw the four characters "49 Steel Plant" clearly written on the iron fence.
Suddenly, Shen Sangyu suddenly remembered that the largest steel plant in China in the future was called this name, and the first boss seemed to be surnamed Xu.
However, this steel plant had ups and downs in the torrent of time and was closed several times. The sadness in the middle was later used by marketing accounts to get tens of thousands of likes.
Her thoughts were drifting a little far away. Xu Weiguo saw Shen Sangyu standing there motionless after parking the car. He thought she was dissatisfied with the old and dilapidated steel plant, so he said awkwardly: "The steel plant has only been open for three months. It used to be an abandoned paper box factory. We had limited funds and could only buy it here."
Shen Sangyu came back to her senses and subconsciously looked at the somewhat dilapidated steel plant in front of her.
This is the suburbs. The steel plant is located on the side of a road. It is surrounded by bare birch forests. It looks deserted. The only advantage is that the steel plant occupies a particularly large area. You can't see the end at a glance.
"Director Xu is joking, and I believe that one day, the No. 49 Steel Plant will be famous throughout the country."
"Let's go in first."
Xu Weiguo was shocked. He didn't expect that this little girl could think better than him. He
smiled slightly and walked in with Shen Sangyu.
In the workshop, dozens of workers stood in a circle, and everyone was in a mess.
Not long after they started work this morning, the machines in the steelmaking workshop suddenly stopped working.
The steelmaking equipment was second-hand goods that the factory director bought from abroad less than three months ago. Although it was second-hand, the steelmaking efficiency was much better than their previous manual steelmaking.
But the most important thing is that this equipment cost two hundred thousand!
The machine broke down, and we finally found someone who could fix it, but it turned out to be a foreigner, speaking a lot of foreign words, and no one could understand him.
"Where's the factory director? Hasn't he come back yet?"
Some people couldn't wait any longer, and looked out of the workshop.
At this time, a young man ran in: "The factory director is back, and he brought a woman with him. She looks like a translator."
Not long after, Xu Weiguo and Shen Sangyu walked in.
Shen Sangyu wore a white sweater today, and then a black coat, and the whole person looked very slim.
Shen Sangyu really didn't want to wear the original owner's colorful clothes. Shen Sangyu searched in the closet for a long time before finding two normal clothes.
Everyone was stunned after taking a look, but they realized that staring at others like this would be considered hooliganism, so they all lowered their heads.
How could this be a woman? She clearly looks like an underage girl!
Xu Weiguo didn't know what these employees were thinking. Before he said anything, Shen Sangyu had already started talking to the tall foreign repairman.
After a few words, Shen Sangyu suddenly paused, with a strange look on his face.
Xu Weiguo's heart tightened.
Could it be that he didn't understand?
"What's wrong?"
After all, he had to ask. Xu Weiguo quickly stepped forward and asked, "What did he say?"
Shen Sangyu looked unusual and sighed, "Mr. Xu, he didn't speak English, but German."
Xu Weiguo: "..."
He only had primary school education, how could he understand the language of any country? He couldn't help but mutter, "Don't foreigners all look the same? Why do they have to distinguish between German and English?"
After that, Xu Weiguo suddenly lost the battle and looked depressed.
The foreign guy who repaired the machine said a few more words, and Xu Weiguo wanted to cry even more.
"He said the engine was broken and needed to be replaced."
Xu Weiguo was stunned for a moment, his eyes were a little confused.
Shen Sangyu smiled: "In addition to knowing English, I just happen to know some German."
Xu Weiguo was overjoyed and said quickly: "Great, then tell him to quickly replace the engine for me."
Shen Sangyu passed the message to the other party.
The German repairman said a few more words. Shen Sangyu was stunned for a moment after listening to him, and pursed her lips: "The guy said that the engine was originally produced in the United States. Not to mention that it is currently out of production, it will cost 100,000 yuan to replace an engine alone."
"100,000?" Xu Weiguo's eyes almost popped out of his head in surprise: "I only bought this thing for 200,000!"
Xu Weiguo's mood can be said to be ups and downs. He covered his face hard and took a deep breath for an unknown period of time: "Then ask him if there is no other way? Or a cheaper engine?"
Shen Sangyu translated it, and the guy opposite shook his head.
The German repairman left after failing to fix the problem. Xu Weiguo sat down on a bench with his head lowered and his hands on his knees.
Seeing this, all the employees around had tears in their eyes.
Now the workers are gradually leaving their jobs. They have trained for a lifetime, but now they have no place to display their skills.
And such expensive equipment broke down after only three months of use.
"Damn it! I was wondering why we sell the million-dollar machine so cheaply. It turns out it's just a piece of junk!"
Hearing this, Xu Weiguo lowered his head even lower.
His passion to serve the motherland was like being poured with a bucket of cold water, which was particularly cold in the city in November this year.
Xu Weiguo aged ten years in an instant: "I am sorry to everyone!"
"Director, can you be blamed for this?"
"Yes, it was that foreigner who sold us a bunch of broken copper and iron. We should go to him for so much money!"
Xu Weiguo shook his head.
He bought it second-hand and used it for three months. He was so excited at first that he thought he had found a bargain, but he had been tricked.
Shen Sangyu, who had been silent the whole time, suddenly said after looking at the machine structure: "Director Xu, why don't you let me try it?"
