Chapter 76 Old acquaintance
Chapter 76 Old acquaintance
It takes about an hour to get there.
We are required to arrive at 10 o'clock, which is completely in time to take the bus.
This is also one of the benefits of doing simultaneous interpretation now.
The demand from major companies is huge, and it is not easy to find competent colleagues.
We have to look for them on a temporary basis every time, because we never know when foreign investors will come to the mainland to discuss cooperation.
Often, the salary for such temporary jobs is very high.
It’s nothing like Li Kang’s era, when English department graduates were worse than dogs and simultaneous interpreters were as numerous as dogs.
When we arrived at the foot of the skyscraper, Bird Company had already made preparations.
The major foreign investors have not arrived yet.
Li Kang arrived about half an hour early.
A staff member took him to get his work badge and asked, "Sir, is this what you are wearing?"
"Do you need us to get you a temporary suit?"
Li Kang shook his head and saw his own appearance through the floor-to-ceiling window.
"Similar appearance and height to the previous life."
But the most fortunate thing is that my English skills can be put to good use.
There is no need to test any comprehensive abilities, as long as you can understand and translate what foreigners say.
Don't worry about performance issues.
It’s so cool!
If he had a mobile phone, he would also like to narcissistically take a picture of his current state.
It is the spring breeze and the horse is galloping. I can see all the flowers in Chang'an in one night!
Led by the staff, Li Kang walked into the venue.
Now the registration has been done in the personnel department.
“I am today’s simultaneous interpreter.”
The other party looked up at Li Kang and was slightly surprised, "So young!"
Out of professional ethics, she was tactful and did not question it.
"Are you here alone?"
"I am alone, and I don't know the other people you contacted."
"Brother Li Kang!!"
Behind Li Kang, a long-lost voice sounded again.
"Brother, you're here too! I knew you would come, given your ability."
It turned out to be Chen Xu, whom I had worked with last time at ATT company.
But isn’t this guy working for the multinational company?
"Brother Chen? You're here too." It's okay to cooperate with this guy.
He was not surprised at all that Chen Xu could come.
If he has been able to survive on his own for so long, how could he not have some resources?
And this guy is not the kind of person who would just sit there and take it easy.
He is paid by a multinational company but still has to look for a part-time job.
Large companies have a habit of accumulating talents. They pay you high salaries normally and then use you when you are needed.
Unlike small companies, which only look for relevant talents when they are really needed, they may miss business opportunities.
For big companies, that salary doesn't matter.
"Brother, do you know what they are going to talk about today?" Chen Xu said seriously.
Knowing that he was showing off in front of her again, she said, "Brother Chen, it depends on you, the know-it-all."
"Hey, you asked the right person."
"Bird Company is an assembly company that makes pagers. I heard that their boss Wang Bo is working with Motorola to develop a Chinese version of the pager, which will be able to directly receive Chinese characters in the future."
This news surprised Li Kang, but then he thought it was normal.
The big brothers have come out, Motorola has also appeared, and then giants such as Nokia will appear one after another.
The mainland, which was opened up not long ago, is a huge piece of fat meat. All these multinational giants would want to have a piece of it.
"So what exactly are we going to do?"
With the experience from last time, Li Kang had enough understanding of this industry and was not worried about messing up at all.
"Gentlemen, please sign a confidentiality agreement first."
"The content of this negotiation with Motorola must not be leaked. If the news gets out, we will hold you two accountable." "Don't worry, we in this business understand and won't spread rumors."
The amount of compensation is no joke. If you are not careful, you may end up working for nothing for your entire life.
But the salary is also very competitive, one thousand yuan an hour, who wouldn't be confused?
At the end of the day, even if I work until nine o'clock in the evening, that's no problem at all.
After signing, Chen Xu muttered quietly:
"Domestic companies are stingy. Foreign companies pay twice as much."
Since the host company is Bird Corporation, they will arrange all the translations.
Motorola is a big player.
"Let's go have some tea first. The boss over there hasn't come yet."
Chen Xu said to Li Kang, but there was no response for a while.
"Brother, what are you doing?"
"Nothing, I just saw someone I know."
The other party also walked towards Li Kang.
"Mr. Li Kang, you are here too! Welcome to Bird Corporation."
Isn’t this Xu Lihong, the marketing manager of Bird Company, who gave her the reward?
Li Kang still remembers that the woman gave her a tip of sixty yuan.
Are you here to give reward again?
The more the better.
"Ms. Xu, it's my honor that you still remember me." Li Kang said to her with a sunny smile.
"How could I not remember? You are so handsome, and I want to introduce you to the young lady in the company."
Xu Lihong is really a person of action. She actually introduced the young female colleague next to her to him.
"This is our department's new college student, Li Xueer."
"Li Xueer, this is Li Kang. He's tall, rich and handsome! He earns as much in two hours as you earn in a month."
Xu Lihong didn't mind and said this to Li Xueer in front of Li Kang.
Li Xueer appears to be very calm on the surface, but she is extremely serious at heart.
"He's so young, he looks younger than me, but he's so amazing."
He held out his hand calmly: "Mr. Li is really young and promising. My name is Li Xueer, and I just graduated from the School of Public Administration of East China University of Political Science and Law."
Chen Xu felt uncomfortable watching from the side. Why was it that every time he stood with this guy, he would be stealing the limelight?
I am also a high-income earner with a monthly income of tens of thousands, why do beautiful girls only look at this guy?
It’s just that Chen Xu doesn’t pay attention to skin care.
Which girl would have an appetite after seeing the acne on her face?
Unless she is a gold-digger who only cares about money and not people.
Normal girls don't like you.
Li Kang stretched out his hand and shook hands with Li Xueer.
In the workplace, shaking hands is also basic etiquette. If he refuses, he will offend others.
"This Li Xue'er is not bad looking, and she is also a serious college student."
Li Kang has seen many beauties, including Lin Meixia, Ye Yuqing, Fang Linxue, and the extremely beautiful wife Xu Meiqi.
I unconsciously compared Li Xueer with them.
I found that no one can compare to Li Xueer.
They just greeted each other politely.
"Li Xueer will receive you. She will take you to the leader later. Thank you very much. Please do your best. This meeting is extremely important to the development of Bird. There will be a bonus after a successful conclusion."
Nothing is as real as a tangible bonus.
Chen Xu doesn't care how well you brag, Li Kang is also a veteran.
"After this, there will be a banquet in the evening, and I will give you red envelopes privately, which should be no less than two thousand."
After hearing what Xu Lihong said, the two smiled and said, "This is our job! We will ensure smooth communication between the two sides."
After Xu Lihong left, the two smiled at each other, understanding each other tacitly, and everything was said without words.
Li Xueer also heard some of it.
"Do these simultaneous interpreters make so much money?! If I had known this, I would have studied English in college."
I thought that my monthly salary of two thousand was already amazing enough.
Most of my classmates who graduated at that time earned more than a thousand yuan, and some who entered the system even earned less than a thousand yuan.
Now in front of these two people, with my little income, I am just like a beggar!
