Sail across the sea

Chapter 162 That's what it means

Hearing Gao Fan's words, Gu Kunquan was also shocked. He stared at Gao Fan and asked, "Xiao Gao, is what you said true?"

Gao Fan pointed at Liu Na, and said, "Director Gu, if it's true, you can ask Translator Liu to find out."

Translation is a good profession, and it is also a kind of respectful title to call someone a translator.However, the word translator has a different meaning in the current Chinese context. After all, people of this generation have all read "Little Soldier Zhang Ga". Whoever is called a translator is almost pointing at someone's nose and scolding traitors. .

Of course Liu Na could hear the meaning of Gao Fan's words, but now she couldn't care less about the truth.Gao Fan said that billions of dollars were lost, which is really terrible.If this was true, it wouldn't be a matter of criticism for her, and it wouldn't be a surprise if she was dragged out and shot for five minutes.

"The translations of these two contracts are obviously inaccurate. The Japanese version also says that key personnel cannot provide services for other companies." Liu Na argued.

"Really? I'll read a passage, and you can explain it to everyone to see if the content is the same."

As Gao Fan spoke, he copied the Japanese version of the contract, turned to the section about non-competition, and began to read it in a whisper.He just read the first sentence, and the faces of the people present all changed.

Nima, this guy knows Japanese!
Moreover, it is not generally understood!

Ordinary people learn their mother tongue by first learning listening and speaking, and then learning to read and write.There are many people who can speak their mother tongue but can't read big characters.

But when it comes to learning a foreign language, the situation is the opposite.It is not uncommon for Chinese students to learn a foreign language to get full marks in the written test but zero marks in listening and speaking.

Of course, this is talking about things in the 80s.Today's children watch American TV dramas since they were young, and their listening and speaking skills are very good, and they can even have a Virginia accent at first glance.

Gao Fan read the terms of the contract in Japanese.Liu Na recognized it as soon as she heard it. This pronunciation is definitely not something that can be taught by a Japanese department.
Masanobu Bei Dao was no less surprised than Liu Na.He came to Maolin this time for Gao Fan, so it was impossible not to do some homework beforehand.

He knew that Gao Fan was just a freshman in college, and he stayed in a small county before going to college.How could such a person understand Japanese?
When Gao Fan read the first sentence, Masanobu Kitajima knew that he was going to fail this time.The other party had been pretending to be a pig before, but this time he stopped pretending and broke the difference in the contract when he came up, which clearly showed his intentions.

In this case, it is strange that the other party will be fooled.

Gao Fan asked Gu Kunquan to call the police just now, and he spoke Chinese, and Liu Na didn't have time to translate to Bei Dao Zhengshen, so Bei Dao Zhengshen didn't know Gao Fan's threat.

So far, all he's thinking about is that he won't be able to earn the commission for this trip, and he doesn't have the slightest feeling that he may face prison.

Who doesn't know that China is a hospitable country, he is honored as a foreign guest wherever he goes, who would dare to handcuff him?
After a brief astonishment, Gu Kunquan was relieved:

What's so strange about this, the expert is showing off his skills again!

This is Gu Kunquan's understanding of this matter.

Like Masanobu Kitajima, Gu Kunquan felt that it was impossible for Gao Fan to understand Japanese, because there was no indication that Gao Fan had ever learned Japanese.

So, how did Gaofan manage to read the contract fluently?
It's very simple, he has special functions!
There are two people who know Japanese sitting next to them, and one of them is a real Japanese. Gao Fan will do his best to learn Japanese from their minds. Is it difficult?
However, since Gao Fan understands Japanese, what he said just now has a few percent more credibility.He said that if he and Bei Dao Zhengshen signed this contract, the country would suffer billions of dollars in losses, which may be true.

Thinking of this, Gu Kunquan could no longer calm down.

There is no mistake, several billion yuan, what kind of astronomical figure is this.Let alone billions, even if it is hundreds of millions or tens of millions, if you are cheated by foreign businessmen in front of you, you will probably have to sieve sand on the farm for the rest of your life.

Among this group of people, Liu Na is an interpreter. Although Na Han is not big, she is also brainless. It is difficult to hold her accountable.Gao Fan is a child, ignorant, and the board probably won't be able to hit his ass.

He, Gu Kunquan, is the only cadre here, at the deputy director level.If such a horrific thing happened, if he can't blame him, can he find someone else?
"Xiao Gao, don't read it, just talk about it, what's the problem here?" Gu Kunquan interrupted Gao Fan's performance and asked him.

Gao Fan said: "It's very simple. On the surface, this contract is to cooperate with our Canghua Company, but in fact the real purpose is to control the core employees of our Canghua Company, that is, myself.

"This contract stipulates that after the two parties sign the contract, the core employees of the company need to sign another non-compete agreement with Desong Society. In the next ten years, unless authorized by Desong Society, core employees are not allowed to provide Any form of technical support, the right to use and benefit from any inventions of core employees during this period shall be owned by the joint venture company.”

"Is that what it means?"

Gu Kun understood everything.In the Chinese version, there is indeed a similar statement, but it is very vague. If you don't pay attention, you will think it is an indifferent clause.

When the two parties cooperate, it is only natural that core employees cannot serve other companies.

As for the right to use and benefit from the invention, it is considered a work for employment, and it seems reasonable to belong to a joint venture company.

But after Gao Fan specially pointed it out, Gu Kunquan tasted something wrong.

To put it bluntly, isn't this a contract of sale?
If Gao Fan signed this contract, it would be equivalent to selling it to Desong Club in the next ten years, and the price would be 70 yuan.

By the way, it is estimated that the other party will pay him a salary.

It wouldn't hurt to sign such an agreement with someone else.Where do you work or not?After signing the agreement, Canghua Company will become a Sino-foreign joint venture. If they are willing to pay you a high salary, it is too late for you to be happy. What is there to worry about?
In fact, Liu Na also had this kind of thinking, so she felt that there was nothing wrong with this agreement. The Chinese version blurred this clause, so it was not considered malicious fraud.

but……

"Xiao Gao, I understand. The Japanese are interested in your invention and creativity, and want to poach you with a high salary." Gu Kunquan said, "This is indeed a bit too much. However, you just said that the country will suffer dozens of times." What does a loss of [-] million yuan mean?"
