Mr. Hans was very curious: "You speak English? And you understand textile machinery?"
Lu Qingyang stood up, neither humble nor arrogant, and walked to the conference table. He first bowed slightly to apologize to Head Li and the members of the inspection team, then turned to Mr. Hans and said in fluent and standard English:
“Yes, I have some basic understanding. I think my delegation’s question is about the specific unit output energy consumption of the system, and whether there is room for further optimization of labor productivity, especially the number of workers required per 10,000 spindles under standard operating conditions. In the current context, these are indeed key factors in feasibility assessment.
Not only is his English fluent, but he also uses professional terms accurately.
Mr. Hans' eyes lit up instantly: "Exactly! Perfect!"
He immediately turned to the somewhat dazed Captain Li and explained enthusiastically. His speech was still fast, but Lu Qingyang was able to easily and accurately translate it at the same time:
"Mr. Hans said that the unit output energy consumption of this system is 15% lower than that of the first generation product. The specific data is detailed in the chart on page 7 of the document..."
"As for the number of workers per 10,000 spindles, after fully automatic doffing and winding, it can be reduced to 20 people in an ideal state, but it depends on the workers' proficiency and the management level of the factory..."
“He asked if we had more specific parameters for the control standard of hairiness index…”
Lu Qingyang not only translated the language, but also accurately converted and explained the key technical terms, which made the cadres of the inspection team nod frequently and their frowns finally relaxed.
Captain Li looked at Lu Qingyang with eyes full of sincere admiration.
Zhou Fang sat in the back, his mouth wide open enough to fit an egg, his kidney pounding!
Secretary Lu had a look of shock and bewilderment on his face. He could not understand English at all, but he saw Wang Shang's excited expression, the approval look of the leader of the inspection team, and Lu Qingyang's calm and confident manner as he spoke eloquently.
For the first time, he had a subversive understanding of this "connected person" - this guy is hiding too well!
In the conference room, the atmosphere instantly turned from freezing to warm.
With Lu Qingyang's accurate and efficient translation, technical communication became extremely smooth.
The delegation was finally able to raise questions that really concerned them, and the consultants were able to accurately understand and give professional answers.
After the work was done, the whole team had a meal together.
According to the original arrangement, Lu Qingyang and Zhou Fang, the two "delegation observers", were not eligible to attend this kind of banquet for core members.
However, just as the 꺶 family was about to leave the venue, Captain Li walked straight up to Lu Qingyang, with a warm smile on his face, and patted him on the shoulder:
"You are amazing. You speak English so fluently? And you know so many professional terms?"
"While on the ship, I happened to read a related book. I knew some English, so I could use these nouns."
For the first time, Captain Li looked the young man in the eye and said, "Xiao Lu, we have to discuss something with the British tomorrow. Can you come and help us?"
"this……"
Lu Qingyang looked at Secretary Lu in embarrassment.
"I'm glad you can help me, but everything we discussed this time is confidential, so you must not leak it out!"
"Let it go. How could we possibly leak it?"
…
The next afternoon, Lu Qingyang helped again with accurate translation.
At the end of the meeting, Team Leader Li was in a good mood and said to Lu Qingyang and Zhou Fang, "Xiao Lu, Xiao Zhou, you have worked hard these two days! There is nothing to translate for the internal summary of the inspection team this afternoon. You young people, this is your first time in Hong Kong City, so don't stay in the guesthouse all the time. You can go out on your own in the afternoon to broaden your horizons and buy some small souvenirs for your family. Be safe and come back on time in the evening!"
Lu Qingyang and Zhou Fang suppressed their inner excitement and thanked Captain Li.
As soon as he walked out of the office building, Zhou Fang couldn't help but whisper, "We are free! Qingyang, we are free!"
"Time is precious, and it is important to get the job done."
Lu Qingyang quickly hailed a taxi and reported the address of Chen Guohao's garment factory in fluent Cantonese.
In Chen Guohao's office, the two quickly finalized the last few details.
Zhou Fang scratched his head and proposed another plan: "Uncle, this time we want to cooperate with you, and we also want to provide funds."
Chen Guohao showed a surprised expression: "You? Tell me more specifically."
After listening to their plan, he couldn't help but admire their courage.
"Okay, you are really brave. However, it is true that I do not have enough funds. If I follow your advice, I can take the smallest risk. Shall I do as you say?"
Lu Qingyang said solemnly: "Thank you Uncle Chen for your trust!" "Zhou Fang and I will go back as soon as possible to check on the situation at the factory. Before we go back, I have a personal matter that I need to deal with alone."
Lu Qingyang didn't say it explicitly, but whispered: "I need to deal with some...old items passed down from my family, and I want to find a reliable place to exchange them for...usable money. It will be a reserve fund for subsequent transportation."
"I see. I do know someone here. We only want to discuss business and don't ask about your background. Do you need me to accompany you?"
"Don't bother, I can go by myself. Zhou Fang, you wait here for me, or go to a nearby tea restaurant and sit down. I'll be back soon."
He went to the pawnshop introduced by Chen Guohao, pawned a few old gold bars, and exchanged them for 10,000 Hong Kong dollars.
The money I earned from the Jia 껗 space before totaled 10,000 Hong Kong dollars and 12,000 domestic dollars.
As for those old items, he would rather keep them in the space. If they were lost, the chances of finding them back in the future would be very small.
After getting the funds, he came back directly to meet Zhou Fang.
When Lu Qingyang arrived, he saw Zhou Fang standing like a wooden stake at the door of a tea restaurant with the name "Liyuan Ice House" on it. His eyes were filled with curiosity but also with obvious timidity. He kept looking inside but hesitated and did not dare to push the door open.
Seeing Lu Qingyang appear, he seemed to have seen a savior and hurried over to him:
"Qingyang! You're finally back! Are you done...?"
"Well, everything went well." Lu Qingyang gave him a reassuring look, then looked towards the tea restaurant, "Why don't you go in and wait for me?"
Zhou Fang scratched his head: "This... this place looks expensive, and there are many people. I... I'm afraid I won't know the rules when I go in, and I'll embarrass you."
Lu Qingyang laughed dumbly and patted his shoulder: "What are you afraid of? If you are hungry, you have to eat. Come on, I will treat you today and take you to taste the authentic Hong Kong flavor!"
Without saying anything, he pulled the still hesitant Zhou Fang and pushed open the glass door with the wind chimes hanging on it.
"jingle--"
Completely different from the canteen of a guesthouse or a state-owned restaurant in the mainland, this place is small but unusually lively.
The narrow corridor is lined with booths covered with green tiles, and a ceiling fan is whirring overhead.
The aproned waiter carried a tray piled with dishes and moved flexibly between the crowded seats, reading out the names of the dishes in rapid Cantonese:
"Meal A has sand and milk! Meal B has eggs and baked bottom! Meal No. 27 has iced lemon tea with extra sweetness!"
