Tan Jianjun's father was a government cadre in Yanxiu County. He was a college student in the 1950s and had some abilities. Under the influence of his family, Tan Jianjun had read a lot of books since he was a child and was a bit smart. When he graduated from high school, he had not resumed the college entrance examination.
, his father used his connections to arrange for him to join the fertilizer factory and become a worker.
In this day and age, in such a small county, workers still have some status. At the very least, they have the qualifications to be picky and picky when it comes to finding partners. If Tan Jianjun is willing, he can be like other young workers in the factory.
A happy bachelor and a earner, he is waiting to find a job with lighter work and higher income relying on his father's relationship.
However, Tan Jianjun has seen some people from the world. He once went to some big cities with his father on a business trip, and there were several photos taken of him posing in salute pose in Tiananmen Square, belonging to several different age groups.
, which is rare in Yanxiu County.
What he experienced in a big city made Tan Jianjun feel that it was too boring to live in a small county and wait for death. He wanted to pursue a more tasteful and exciting lifestyle.
In the factory, he was nicknamed "Amateur Overseas Chinese". This was not only because of his earthy "foreign-style" attire, but also because he always spoke of foreign countries and often talked about other people's foreign countries, as if he had been there before.
How many foreign countries are there?
When he was 15 years old, he went to Beijing on a business trip with his father. He once met a foreigner on the street. In fact, he just glanced at it from a few meters away. This incident has always been on his lips and he has talked about it a lot.
Year. Regarding the experience of encountering this unknown foreigner, after his continuous interpretation, it has become the kind of conversation where he chats and laughs with foreigners. If it were not for the international impact, foreigners would like to be with him.
By the way, this seems to be the case in his own impression. The highest state of obscenity is that in the end he will not remember which ones are true and which ones are false.
This time, Gao Fan and his party came to Yanxiu Fertilizer Factory to visit Yin Baowen. Before they sat down on the sofa in Yin Baowen's office, the news about "a foreigner came to the factory" had already spread throughout the factory. Everyone in the workshop They were all talking about going outside the factory after get off work to see what foreigners looked like, but at the same time they were timidly worried about whether doing so would insult the national dignity of the factory, and whether it would violate the rule of "no watching foreign guests."
At this time, some people who usually disliked Tan Jianjun's performance began to tease him, saying that since he was already able to chat and laugh with foreign guests when he was 15 years old, could he also chat with foreign guests now?
By the way, I would like to help you find out about the conversion of the fertilizer plant into a joint venture.
As an amateur overseas Chinese, Tan Jianjun naturally wanted to see foreigners. Coupled with the encouragement and pressure from people around him, he made up his mind. He was going to wait at the factory door as soon as he got off work, and he would meet the foreign guests no matter what.
Strike up a few words. If you can really chat with foreign guests, wouldn’t you have more things to talk about in the rest of your life?
One morning, while taking care of the equipment in the workshop, he recalled the English he had learned in his mind, thinking about what he would say in the first sentence and what he would say in the second sentence if he met a foreign guest.
How many teeth should be exposed.
The equipment in the fertilizer plant runs 24 hours a day, so the workers in the fertilizer plant work in three shifts. When Tan Jianjun got off work, it was already two o'clock in the afternoon. He quickly took off his work clothes and took out his own from the tool box.
After putting on his overseas Chinese attire, he ran downstairs to the factory. After asking around, he found out that the foreign guests had already left.
Before he could return home in despair, new news came that foreign guests were wandering around Yanxiu Street, so he rushed over with two of his best friends.
The communication with the foreign guests was extremely smooth. Tan Jianjun was a high school student. Although English was not valued at that time, Tan Jianjun still learned some daily conversations, and occasionally imagined a conversation with foreigners on weekdays, so about saying hello
, I can blurt out English such as self-introduction, and my pronunciation is passable.
After announcing his name to Bob, Tan Jianjun was thinking desperately that the other party should also announce his name, such as Tom or Jerry, and then what should he say? If asked "How_are_your_mother", the foreign guest will
Do you feel like you are scolding someone?
What he never expected was that the foreign guest's answer was actually "Is it the founding army on August 1st Army Day?" He subconsciously responded before he realized, Damn, this foreign guest understands Chinese. He
Not only does he understand Chinese, but he also knows jokes about Army Day, so he is clearly a Chinese connoisseur.
Gao Fan was already accustomed to such scenes, and looking at Tan Jianjun's embarrassed look, he felt a little gloating.
Nowadays, Chinese people have a certain sense of awe towards foreign guests, and everyone says that "diplomacy is no small matter." Considering the national conditions at the time, this attitude is understandable. To introduce foreign investment and learn advanced foreign technologies, you must have
All it takes is some humility.
People like Xu Ying and Gao Yiping will unconsciously put themselves in a relatively low position when dealing with foreign guests and give the other party more respect. But when it comes to conflicts of interest,
These people know which side they should be on.
Tan Jianjun's situation is different. His attire and style show that he is a spiritual foreigner. His admiration for foreign countries comes from the heart, and he believes from the bottom of his heart that the moon in foreign countries is rounder than that in China.
Gao Fan naturally didn't have a good impression of such a person. Seeing Tan Jianjun's defeat, Gao Fan had no time to snicker.
"What do you want to do with the foreign guests?" Gao Fan asked with a cold face.
"Uh..." Tan Jianjun was speechless.
Just now Bob said that Gao Fan was his boss. Although Tan Jianjun didn't believe it, he felt that there might be something he didn't understand. At the very least, the relationship between this young man and the foreign guests was obviously not a subordinate relationship, but a foreign guest relationship.
Someone who can speak in front of him. In this case, Tan Jianjun has to think carefully about what he wants to say.
After all, it is easy to fool foreigners, but it is not easy to fool Chinese people.
"I heard that Mr. Bob is here to acquire our Yanxiu Fertilizer Factory. I would like to ask if I...we can be of any help..." Tan Jianjun said hesitantly.
"Help?" Gao Fan frowned slightly.
"You want to help us?" Bob showed a smile and responded cheerfully, "Okay, we just need to find someone to help. Otherwise, let's not stand here talking, let's find a small restaurant
Come in, sit down and talk, and I'll treat you to a Red Army Coke."
