Chapter 24 Free Man

"Hello." George, who was wiping with thick head oil, said hello to Su Cheng.

Since he came to China, he has seen serious Chinese men, serious Chinese women, and serious Chinese children, but he has never seen a Chinese who doesn't care.

Su Cheng's free expression and movements were not pretense, which made George very good. The etiquette of formal occasions in China is very good, but it is sad to live in formal occasions forever.

Su Cheng raised his head, smiled at him, pointed to his pancake, and said in English, "I drove all the way. I didn't eat breakfast. I'm hungry."

Hearing him spit out such a long list of English, including the familiar things as driving, George was very happy and immediately said in English, "Is this your snack? I ate a lot of pure bread, but I haven't had a chance to try local food.

Domestic officials have always wanted to make foreign businessmen feel at home. In their eyes, domestic food is really not worth mentioning, far from providing Western meals that they are familiar with.

Su Cheng smiled and said, "All kinds of snacks are sold outside the door. You can also call for room service."

His English in college is ordinary. He is a non-talented child, but he is still a hard-working child. However, Sucheng of Peking University in this life is a memory genius, with nearly 20,000 words in his head, and some professional words are rare and boring.

Of course, the thinking mode of talking to George is later, and the grammar used by Sioux City is also from later generations.

The combination of the two has raised his English level to a higher level.

George is happy to be able to talk normally. After all, translation is a translation, and there is foreign discipline, which is very boring. In addition, the words she used are extremely strange. Many of them are old words before the beginning of the Cold War, which sounds like an old movie.

Several leaders looked at each other in consterration, and it was not easy to have an attack in front of foreign guests. It was not until Su Cheng went to go through the room formalities that someone gave a wink at the waiter.

So, the waiter said to Su Cheng alertly, "I'm sorry, we don't have any rooms available anymore."

"Is it really gone?" Su Cheng also saw the leader's wink. However, he is an oil system and doesn't have to pay attention to local officials at all.

"Su Cheng, what's wrong?" George suddenly asked. When he saw Su Cheng frowning, he thought he had caused trouble. In a week in China, such a thing has happened more than once.

Su Cheng shrugged his shoulders and said, "They said there was no room."

"How come, there are several empty rooms on my floor." George said to the provincial party committee official next to him.

The latter had no choice but to explain: "For safety reasons, we didn't arrange people on that level."

"I believe that China is a very safe country, and the Chinese are also friendly and kind. There is no need to prepare anything for me. Since there is no room, let Mr. Su Cheng live on my floor. George stayed for a few days, and the conventional words were extremely proficient. He asked Su Cheng, "Is it okay?"

"No problem, thank you very much." Su Cheng handed in the letter of introduction again.

At someone's signal, the waiter finally checked in.

Su Cheng winked at the accompanying official, continued to smile at George, and asked, "Do you live here alone?"

If he just didn't mean to meet this foreigner at the beginning. If he chatted a few words and test his English proficiency, he intended to get close to him after getting familiar with it.

In these years, China is still bound by all kinds of rules and regulations. Many things are done by themselves, and it is as difficult as climbing to the sky. Through foreign friends, it is simply like farting. It is very convenient to know an overseas relative or a foreign friend.

George was also interested in chatting and laughed, "They all went to inspect the factory. We produce and import chemical products, mainly various oils, ethylene propylene and so on."

"Then we are in the same industry. Oh, I forgot to introduce that I work in Shengli Oilfield. It is a large-scale oil production and refining enterprise. We produce crude oil, crude diesel oil, lubricants, etc., and propane ethylene, etc. are also involved..." When saying these words, Su Cheng intends to bring a few chemical terms to prove that he is indeed an insider.

These are all used by him when he was in school.

George's eyes really lit up. He was originally here to explore the way. At this time, he immediately said, "I have been to your Daqing Oilfield. I really have the intention to go to Shengli Oilfield this time. Can you introduce it to me?"

"Of course."

The two of them talked about it during the question and answer.

George's company is a large importer of chemical products. Every year, he purchases a large number of crude oil, ethylene and other petrochemical products from the Chinese market. He came to China this time for the purpose of inspecting and expanding the market.

They have always purchased and sold through the China National Chemical Import and Export Corporation. However, this approach is obviously not transparent enough.

Since leaving Beijing, George has been thinking about how to have more contact local people and local businesses on the train.

Su Cheng just came to the door.

For George, there is no cost to chat. It would be great to know more about China.

Before Su Cheng intervened, the officials of the chemical import and export company who accompanied George and his party were still very calm. Until they talked about specific oil products, the official began to cough desperately and almost pulled people forward, but the officials of Shan * Dong watched the change.

Su Cheng didn't seem to hear it at all.

Cui Hongguo watched his brother's performance and had no choice but to envy his freedom. Nowadays, rich state-owned enterprises do not pay attention to local officials, such as the oil system, have their own schools, their own hospitals, under the Shengli Oilfield Command, as well as the Public Security Department, the Judicial Department, the Intermediate People's Court and the Procuratorate, which is not a local government at all. On the contrary, local governments want to use more oil, get more means of production, sell more machines, and coax them.

As for the chemical import and export company, this kind of bodhisattva belongs to the type of beneficial supply, but not beneficial kicking away. No one will give up the immediate benefits to please them. For a super-large enterprise such as Shengli Oilfield, it is also common for customers to bully stores.

The English teacher from the local university gave a difficult translation to the officials, because Sucheng's English was full of new words. Artificialintelligence (artificial intelligence) was bad enough, and SST (supersonic transporter) simply made her desperate.

On the other hand, George was chatting more and more happily, and he had no intention to go upstairs to rest. If he hadn't taken care of Su Cheng's listening, his speed of speech would have been twice as fast. Even so, he would have reached the limit of translation.

After coming to China for so long, George finally found the feeling of talking normally. There is no problem with the female English teacher's grammar and word use, but those words themselves really make him feel uncomfortable. This is a difficult feeling to say, just like people in the 1930s chatting with people in the 1970s, or people in the 1970s talking to people in 2000.

George must be careful not to use acronyms. At the beginning, even OPEC (OPEC) had to say "OrganizationofPetroleumExportingCountries", a word, even he I have stumbled as I said. Words like greenpower are more troublesome. Judging from the translated reply, the other party obviously translated the money magic into green magic, because she didn't know that the green here refers to the color of the US dollar. Maybe it should be happy if it was not turned into environmental protection magic. The so-called new words in Sucheng are actually learned in school. The background is the same as that of the female teacher who works as a translator, which is also due to the backwardness of school textbooks. Many of the words he speaks now are the buzzwords of the late 1980s and early 1990s. It seems that the school is naturally preparing for the time travel and rebirth of students. Sue, are you on holiday? George suddenly asked. That's right." Can you be my personal translator? George asked expectantly. From his point of view, the translations around him are assigned by the negotiation company, and the information is screened too much. Although Su Cheng is also Chinese, as long as he does not belong to the chemical import and export company, it is good for him to get more information. Moreover, the way the other party uses language is also more comfortable. He turned to the female teacher and explained, "You also translate very well, but Sue knows more about my cultural background and the company's business. You can continue to translate for them, but Su Cheng will translate for me. The female teacher is still speaking Chinese to others. Su Cheng has stretched out his hand and said with a smile, "No problem, I'm happy to do it." George and Sioux shook hands and smiled, "How about the translation fee of $100 a day? I will stay for about 10 more days." No problem." Su Cheng nodded. When the official of the chemical import and export company next to him heard the translation, he saw Su Cheng shaking hands with George, and he was immediately furious. He didn't want to lose his manners in front of foreign guests. He suppressed his anger and waited for George to go upstairs. He couldn't wait to yell at Su Cheng, "Do you still talk about foreign affairs and discipline?"
