Chapter 129: Speak a foreign language?

The robber thing has come to an end. Li Mo is in a thrilling situation, and Su Yanuo is not idle either.

When she got up in the morning, Li Mo called to say that the transportation problem had been solved, and she was relieved. Li Mo would also follow the convoy to the city to report to Liu Dezhi today. After all, the matter was over.

Li Mo arrived in the city by truck. It was still very early when he arrived. Li Mo had breakfast in the canteen of the corps before going to see Liu Dezhi.

After Li Mo explained the matter, Liu Dezhi said with satisfaction: "You are both wise and brave! Hahahaha, it's a pity that my family is a boy. If I were a girl, I would definitely recruit you as my son-in-law."

"Hahaha!"

When Liu Dezhi was joking, Vice Captain Chen said with a smile: "Old Liu, you are just taking advantage of Comrade Li Mo."

"This is because Political Commissar Liu provided timely support. Without your support, how could I dare? This is because I have more guns in my hand, so I have the courage. Normally I would not be able to do it at all."

Li Mo is not arrogant in taking credit, and is also very humble. Liu Dezhi feels that Li Mo's success is not accidental, it is inevitable. This child may be able to climb to a better position given time. With this kind of character, he

That's pretty good.

While Li Mo was chatting with Liu Dezhi and Chen Li, Liu Yun knocked on the door and said with a smile: "Political Commissar, the guests are here, but they have brought a lot of foreign guests."

"What? Foreign guests? You didn't say there were foreign guests?"

"What to do?" Chen Li also looked at Liu Dezhi in confusion.

"Don't say anything else first, please come over and take a look at the situation!"

When Liu Dezhi heard about the foreign guests, his head was pounding.

At that time, foreigners were basically invisible, but in the past two years, there have been more and more foreigners. Especially in Anton, foreigners are not uncommon.

Especially in the overseas Chinese shops in the city, there are still many foreigners.

"Lao Liu, our team doesn't have a translator, what can we do? As for translators, there is only a Russian translator. He has been sent to the Heilongjiang Provincial Office and is not here!"

Liu Dezhi looked confused. He held his tongue and said, "Oh, now I'm showing my cowardice. If I use someone else's translator, I don't even know how to scold us..."

While Liu Dezhi was struggling, there was another ring at the door, and then a young man with glasses came in. After he came in, he was followed by several blond and blue-eyed foreigners.

This is the first time in Liu Dezhi's life that he has seen so many foreigners, who are really completely different from his own countrymen. If the only person in Liu Dezhi's family who can speak English is Liu Dezhi's father.

When he went abroad to fight, the most he could do was to surrender his gun and not kill anyone.

Neither will the others.

And those words are obviously inappropriate here.

"Hello Political Commissar Liu, these are guests from France. They are here to visit. They heard that we are doing non-ferrous metal exploration here, so they are particularly interested. This is Mr. Wells. Let's talk about

He is the representative of William Nonferrous Metals Group."

"Then... he... he is a foreign geological team?"

"puff……"

Hearing Liu Dezhi speak, the translator couldn't help but laugh. The translator hurriedly said: "No, there are no geological teams abroad. They are all private contracting companies, which is different from ours. Our geological team is public and they all

It’s private contracting.”

"It is a survey conducted by a professional individual company. It is different from ours..."

Liu Dezhi nodded hurriedly and whispered: "But we are also traveling together, right? Otherwise, how could you be interested in us?"

"That's right, you are really in the same boat!"

Li Mo listened on the sidelines without saying anything. It was obviously very inappropriate at this juncture.

Li Mo listened to the translator and realized that the man was not speaking French, but English.

Generally speaking, French company representatives cannot speak English. They value their French very much and it is impossible for them to speak English when they come to China. This makes no sense.

Moreover, William speaks very fluent English, and his accent is definitely not something he learned later. It should be his native language.

When Li Mo was thinking about the problem, Chen Li noticed that Li Mo's expression was not right. Chen Li asked in a low voice: "What are you thinking about? Are you scared? This is your first time meeting a foreigner?"

"What are you afraid of? I'm just confused. A French foreigner speaks English, but... he still speaks so eloquently..."

"Isn't this normal? They are all from the same family."

"You also speak English when you go out? You must have your own accent. His accent is obviously English as his native language."

Li Mo murmured in a low voice, and Chen Li also asked in a low voice: "You're not a liar, are you?"

"Who knows for sure! I really can't lie to you. Is this translation reliable?"

Li Mo and Chen Li kept muttering in a low voice. Liu Dezhi could hear them but remained silent. After chatting for a while, they asked someone at the reception desk to come and take the people away first. After sending these people away, Liu Dezhi turned back to look at Li Mo and asked:

"What's going on? The guy you just said was fake?"

"I can't say whether it's true or not, but there's something really wrong with that translation."

"Do you... know English?" Liu Dezhi carefully probed. In fact, he was already a little prepared. Li Mo had already passed the IELTS exam and asked him if he knew English... Haha.

Li Mo knows two things at a glance, because he works in education, so he has studied French and English.

Liu Dezhi said in a low voice: "Otherwise, if you understand English, I will give you an opportunity to talk to the foreigner and test the situation?"

"Okay! Leave it to me and you will always take care of it. There is no way I won't do anything. Leave this matter to me."

Li Mo patted his chest, Chen Li and Liu Dezhi looked at each other, their eyes communicating whether Li Mo was trustworthy or not.

Liu Dezhi would still find a way. When he invited William to visit, he asked him to see the collected samples. Of course, these were not confidential things.

The other party noticed that there was some graphite powder in the sample, which was deliberately placed.

After William's hands became black, Liu Dezhi immediately asked Li Mo to take the foreign guests to the water room to wash their hands.

On the way to the water house, Li Mo asked in French: "Sir, you speak English very well. How did you learn it?"

William's eyes lit up and he smiled and said, "Oh, do you know French?"

"I know a lot." Li Mo smiled and nodded, and William said excitedly: "Let me introduce myself, my name is Carls William. I am a university professor, and my mother is a Commonwealth citizen."

"Oh! No wonder your accent is so pure."

"Can I ask, where is your foundry?"

"What workshop?"

"The casting workshop? I am a non-ferrous metals expert, specializing in the casting of alloy mechanical parts. Isn't this a non-ferrous metal smelting plant? I want to see your non-ferrous metals, okay?"

Li Mo looked at William and said with a smile: "This... non-ferrous metal smelting plant is in Wulong County, not here. Ours here is the non-ferrous metal geological exploration brigade, which is responsible for non-ferrous metal exploration and infrastructure construction."

"What? But I clearly told the translator that I wanted to see a non-ferrous metal company."

"Well, this is a matter of understanding and communication. Our translator misunderstood. But you said that the non-ferrous metal smelting plant is not the factory you want. We should have a heavy-duty plant here. Just wait, I will contact you.

"After Li Mo spoke politely to the other party, William raised his hand and gave Li Mo a big hug and said: "Oh, Li, I'm really glad to meet you. Otherwise, I would have been in vain today."

"I have friends coming from far away, and I also like France very much. It is romantic and full of charm. It has its own characteristics especially in terms of education. It is one of the best countries in the world."

After Li Mo finished speaking, William gave a thumbs up with satisfaction and said: "Meeting Chinese people like you is the biggest gain of my visit to China. Can we still be friends in the future?"

"Of course, and I will also do business in the future. This is my future ambition. To open my own company in this country."

"Oh~~This is great. In that case, we think we will definitely meet again."

William and Li Mo shook hands again, and then the two of them awkwardly washed their hands together...

After returning, Li Mo told Liu Dezhi about the situation. Liu Dezhi looked at William in surprise, and William nodded politely. Then Li Mo communicated with the translator, and the translator asked William. He quickly said sorry.

Because he is rushing to get on the shelves, his English is only at the level of a high school student, no matter how high it is.

It's embarrassing now...

Li Mo communicated with William in French in front of everyone, continued to visit, and contacted the heavy duty factory to pick up the guests.

William and Li Mo had a great conversation. The conversation between the two was very fluent. William even suspected that Li Mo was French, otherwise there would be no communication barriers at all.

Moreover, William found that Li Mo's thinking mode was different from that of any Chinese person he had met. His thinking was more open, more active, and more advanced. Some of the words between the lines even gave him a little inspiration.

Inspiration for business.

We entertained William, had something to eat at the guest house at noon, and then waited for the heavy duty plant to pick him up.

Li Mo was really tired after half a day.

Liu Dezhi looked at Li Mo and smiled and said: "Xiao Mo, how come you are so good at the foreign language you learned there?"

"Haha, Teacher Gao and the Eight-Nation Allied Forces are yelling at each other, but they don't even do it in the same way. How am I doing here?"

Li Mo's use of Gao Wanru as a shield was really useful.

Because Liu Dezhi really believed it. After all, Gao Wanru was once a scholar traveling in France. It was not surprising that she knew French, and she and her husband met abroad. So Gao Wanru really knew French.

Li Mo took a rest, then stood up and said, "Political Commissar, I won't disturb you anymore. I have to go to the mall in the afternoon and I'm here after all. Take a look at Manager Su!"

"Okay, you go ahead. When I go on vacation, I will pick you up and I'll treat you to a good massage!"

"Okay! I've taken note of your words! I'm just waiting for your notification!"
