Dong Qiangqiang's Story of Leaving Germany

Chapter 104
During the lunch break, Dong Yiqing randomly ordered a vegetarian fast food from a Southeast Asian restaurant downstairs, then walked outside the restaurant, sat on a bench in the small garden facing the street, ate lunch while basking in the sun, and at the same time looked through the notes from the morning training , I still recalled what Angela said in my mind from time to time.

When she threw the finished lunch box into the trash can, she inadvertently glanced at the other side of the street, only to see Zhang Yingfang standing alone in the fast food restaurant with a cup of coffee in one hand and a hot dog in the other. Outside standing table.

Dong Yiqing didn't expect her lunch to be so casual, and she suddenly had an inexplicable affection for Zhang Yingfang.

But Zhang Yingfang didn't notice that someone across the street was looking at her. She quickly ate the hot dog and drank the coffee with no expression on her face, wiped her mouth with a tissue, quickly crossed the road, and walked back to the office building.

Anna paused: "If you really want to get the money back, you can try to negotiate with Mueller, and even make some concessions at the right time."

"Negotiation? With him?" Lei Lanting slapped the table and stood up, "That's impossible."

Everyone else in the cafe looked at him, Tong Lele gave him a blank look, and Dong Qiangqiang quickly pushed him back to his seat: "Don't be impulsive, listen to Anna."

Lei Lanting sat back on the chair depressed.

"If the court finds that Mueller's evidence is sufficient, you don't get a penny. But if the court finds that his evidence is not sufficient, but it does not support the court's decision against him, the court may It is recommended that you settle out of court. If the two parties still cannot reach an agreement after mediation, the court will make a first-instance judgment. If the judgment is in favor of Mueller, you still cannot get money. But if the judgment is not in favor of Mueller, Mueller may still I will appeal again. If it is the second case, you will not get a penny until the second appeal is judged."

"Then if he is still not satisfied with the judgment of the second appeal, will there be a third, fourth, fifth... and then continue?" Lei Lanting muttered dissatisfied.

"Normally not. In your situation, it's almost the same twice."

"So if he goes to the court to sue us, you will suggest that we negotiate with him, and both parties will take a step back so that we can get the money back earlier, right?" Tong Lele asked softly.

"Yes, this is not only for you," Anna looked into Tong Lele's eyes, and said softly, "It is also the best result for Mueller."

"You said just now that we need to make concessions," Dong Qiangqiang asked tentatively, "Do you mean that we should give up getting back the money that belongs to us during the negotiation?"

"To be precise, it is to give up a small part and get back the majority." Anna stood up as she spoke.

"Then do you have any suggestions on how much to give up?" Dong Qiangqiang asked anxiously, "Our money... is not a small number."

"That depends on the situation you talked with Mueller." Anna smiled and stretched out her arms. "It is difficult to negotiate interests. I wish you good luck."

At 13:30 in the afternoon, in meeting room No. 3, Angela is still giving training to everyone.

At 16 o'clock in the afternoon, a contradiction suddenly appeared in the conference room.

The discrepancy is caused by the evaluation results.

In this evaluation, the five interviewers scored the comprehensive level of the six translators during the interview, mainly including English and German bilingual level, etiquette, professional knowledge, sales skills, appearance and emergency response.

The translation recommended by the second child, Zhang Yinghua, had a poor comprehensive score and was eliminated without any suspense.The performance of the other three girls is also quite satisfactory, there are no bright spots.

But after scoring by the five judges, Dong Yiqing and Che Lizi's comprehensive scores were unexpectedly tied, and they were evenly matched.Among them, Dong Yiqing has an advantage in professional knowledge (the benefits of sharpening the gun) and sales skills, while Che Lizi has a slight advantage in language and emergency response. In addition, her legal background also adds a lot of color to her. .

Originally, it was no problem for the two to be tied for first place, but since the company wanted to assign the best translator to the booth with the best location, that is, booth A facing the entrance of the exhibition hall, the ownership of the chief translator became crucial. important.

What Dong Yiqing and Che Lizi didn't know at the time was that the best interpreter in the show would become Zhang Quanfu's portable interpreter.This good performance not only refers to etiquette and marketing, but the most important thing is to see who helps the company get more orders at the exhibition.

A booth with a good location will have more exposure, while a booth with a shaded or aisle location will not be noticed, and there will be no traffic.So whoever can go to the booth with a good location is half the battle.

Facing the tie between the two, the five examiners had differences: Zhang Yingfang thought Dong Yiqing was suitable, while Zhang Yingfei thought Che Lizi was better.Two of the other three examiners saw that the situation was not good, and immediately expressed their support for one side.

The last examiner took a step slower and immediately became the focus of the audience. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, this examiner's desire to survive was beyond words.He pretended to think for a while before seriously suggesting: "I think we should try another question and let the two of them compare again."

"Do you think this is the final of the World Cup? Extra time?" Zhang Yingfei said dissatisfied.

Seeing that Zhang Yingfei misunderstood what he meant, the examiner was about to explain, but Zhang Yingfang interrupted her speech: "What should I do if the tie is tied after extra time? Should there be extra time? There is no need to be so troublesome."

"In this case..." The examiner rolled his eyes, "I suggest that Che Lizi go to booth A all day on Friday, and Dong Yiqing go to booth B. Then switch positions next Monday, let Dong Yiqing go to booth A, and Che Lizi go to booth A all day long. Let’s go to Booth B. After the show ends next Monday night, we will count the sales of the two of them, whoever has the better data will stand at Booth A next Tuesday until the end of the show. How about it?”

Zhang Yingfang stared at the examiner without saying a word. The examiner made her stare uncomfortably, and turned his eyes to Zhang Yingfei as if asking for help. Zhang Yingfei coughed twice guiltyly, turned his gaze to Che Lizi, and said while applauding: " I think it's a good idea, it's fair."

On the face of it, no one is offended by this suggestion, but in fact this suggestion is very insidious.Apart from the fact that a booth with a good location has a large number of visitors and more exposure, which is conducive to order, there is another important reason, that is, the first day of the exhibition is very critical.Because the top leaders or executives of many companies usually only have one day to participate in the exhibition, most of them will appear at their booth on the first day of the exhibition, and then stop by to visit other companies in the exhibition. Many large business orders are usually at the exhibition Although there will be deals on the first day, although there will be deals in the next few days, relatively speaking, the first day is the most important day.In particular, the first day of this exhibition is on Friday, and the second day is a weekend to the next Monday, and how many people will go to the exhibition and place orders on the next Monday is a matter of chance.

The would-be translators don't know these twists and turns, but Zhang Yingfang, who often participates in exhibitions, knows them well.She immediately understood what the other party meant: this suggestion was actually for Zhang Yingfei.

Zhang Yingfang was not surprised that this happened, she knew very well in her heart that this examiner had already chosen to stand under Zhang Yingfei's hill.

Out of dissatisfaction with the second child's hatred of iron and steel and the subsequent translation scandal, Zhang's mother gradually shifted the focus of care to the fourth child.The fourth child is more eloquent, more aggressive and self-motivated than the second child, plus he is the youngest, so Zhang's parents and Zhang's mother are determined to cultivate him well.

Zhang Quanfu is old and has long decided to pass on the domestic business to the boss, but when faced with the question of who to pass on the family's overseas business, he hesitates again between Zhang Yingfang and Zhang Yingfei.

In all fairness, Zhang's father really wanted to pass on the overseas business to the third child, but at the critical moment, Zhang's mother's pillow talk and his patriarchal feudal thinking jumped out again, and he began to waver again.After much deliberation, he decided not to appoint a candidate for the time being, and let the third child take the fourth to do it for the time being, and let the fourth child succeed the third child when the time is right.Anyway, everyone is a family, and it doesn't matter who is the boss. No matter what, the meat will end up rotten in their own pot.

Mother Zhang is very satisfied with the result. In her opinion, sons are far more important than daughters.Although the daughter has never been married, she is not the water that was thrown out, but she will be thrown out sooner or later.

But Zhang Quanfu thought more about it. He knew that foreign business is not easy to do.He was worried that it would be too risky to throw all the overseas business to the fourth child who had never done it before, and he was also afraid that it would be difficult to convince the public and disrupt the foundation of the family, let alone future development.Besides, he has handed over the domestic business to the boss. If the third child walks away sadly because his bowl of water is not level, it may have a collateral impact on the family's domestic and international business.

And Zhang Yingfang has been stationed overseas for these years, needless to say, she has endured hardships and hardships. For the sake of her family's career, at the age when she was supposed to fall in love, get married and have children, she gave up the love of her husband and wife, and the best time and youth in a woman's life. , is still alone.

As Zhang Quanfu grew older, he found sadly that if he did not give his daughter an explanation, he might not be able to face himself again.This is also one of the reasons why he has always been reluctant to directly decide who is the top leader overseas.

Having more children does not necessarily mean more blessings, but more is just the entanglement and embarrassment when faced with more choices.

In fact, Zhang Yingfang discovered her father's thoughts and mother's small calculations long ago.If she was in her early 20s, she might just obediently retreat to the second line.But after so many years of hard work and lonely work, she has long polished the "flesh on the back of the hand" in the eyes of her parents to be like steel.

She does not resent her elder brother and younger brother, nor does she hate her parents.But she also doesn't believe in God's rewards.She only believes that there is no way to go in vain in life, her efforts will definitely be rewarded, and people can only rely on themselves to live.

So she doesn't intend to just give up the European market that she has worked hard with her own hands, at least not yet.

Zhang Yingfang knew very well that on the surface, the selection of the chief translator was based on performance, and the allocation of booths was based on whoever was good at it, but in fact, this has already involved the power struggle of the management company and the competition for resources.

Although she is the general manager in name, many things still need to be communicated with the deputy general manager, that is, her lovely brother Zhang Yingfei, and can only be carried out after obtaining consent.She could see clearly: Zhang Yingfei was the one who made the decision.

To consolidate her position, she must compete for the most useful resources in the family.

Zhang Quanfu.

Whoever can exert more influence on Zhang Quanfu will get the right to speak in overseas business.If the chief translator is Zhang Yingfang's own person, she can use the translator's status as an outsider to help her convey a lot of information that is inconvenient to disclose directly.

So whoever controls the chief translator has the possibility of exerting more influence on Zhang Quanfu.

Originally, Dong Yiqing was not Zhang Yingfang's first choice, but through her own efforts, Dong Yiqing grabbed Zhang Yingfang's olive branch.

Opportunities are usually only reserved for those who are prepared. If opportunities have never appeared around a person, it is probably because of a problem with this person's thinking.

But Zhang Quanfu will not be able to arrive in Frankfurt tomorrow, he will not arrive until next Monday afternoon.So for Dong Yiqing, she still has time.Thinking of this, Zhang Yingfang nodded suddenly, and said softly: "If there is no objection, then it will be settled like this. The meeting will be adjourned." After speaking, she got up and drifted away.

Dong Yiqing and Che Lizi "passively" stood in line, but they were ignorant of these things.

Dong Yiqing just checked on the Internet at noon, and Stein's company looks very good.In fact, she didn't care about who was the chief translator at all. There was only one thing in her mind at the moment, and that was to go all out to get Old Man Stein's order.

Che Lizi's face was neither happy nor unhappy.Looking at the two beauties, Zhang Yingfei couldn't help clicking his tongue: These two girls seem to be indifferent.Is it true that all the new humans are like this now?
