Rebirth of the Industrial Tycoon

  Chapter 51 Japanese Translation

   Hearing the words "Banlanaizi", people who don't know the truth may think that Luo Bing is driving a car, but in fact, Luo Bing is talking about a Polonitz car. .

  Poronez is a Polish car. This car is a modified version of Fiat 125. It has four large round lights on the front and a slip-back design. It was very fashionable at the time. According to its homophony, the folks jokingly call it "Banlanaizi"

In the early 1980s, Poland’s political situation was chaotic, and people’s livelihood and economy were greatly affected. China imported a large number of Polonez cars through barter trade. Unfortunately, the appearance of this car was not serious enough to be suitable as an official car. So in big cities, Polonitz eventually became a taxi.

  In a small city like Qinghe, Polonez has no problem as an official car. At any rate, it is also an imported car, which is better than the BJ212 Jeep. Cars that are disliked in big cities, but rushed to get them in small cities.

  In later generations, new vehicles will be transported by special heavy trucks. The 13.75-meter trailer can transport six cars at a time, and the transport volume of models with central axles will be greater.

   Obviously there was no such transportation condition in the 1980s, so the best way of transportation was to send the driver over and drive the car back.

  Fortunately, Qinghe is located in the eastern region. If it is in an inland province like Tibet, the new car will have passed the running-in period.

  ……

  Li Weidong and his party boarded the train to Jinmen.

  The train speed in the 1980s was relatively slow. It took more than ten hours to take the train from Qinghe to Jinmen, so this time, Li Weidong took a hard sleeper.

  It’s hard to buy a hard sleeper on a train. Basically, it is the leading cadres who are on business trips before they are eligible to sit on the hard sleeper. It is almost impossible to buy more than 30 hard sleeper tickets at one time.

  But this is not a problem for Qinghe Transportation Company. The transportation company and the railway station are brothers, and they have very close business contacts with each other, especially the freight departments of both sides, which can even be said to be interdependent.

   Although the volume of railway transportation is very large, it is limited by rail lines. Without rail connection, even two adjacent cities cannot be transported by rail.

  Road transportation is much more flexible. As long as you can move, things can be delivered. Therefore, even the iron boss needs a unit such as a transportation company as a supplement to its capacity.

  With the relationship between the transportation company and the railway, let alone more than 30 sleeper tickets, even a few wagons can be obtained.

  The hard sleeper is much more comfortable than the hard seat. Li Weidong played a few cards with a few driver masters, then lay on the bed and slept for a while before arriving in Jinmen City.

  After staying in the reception, Luo Bing allowed others to move around freely, and he went to the local foreign trade department to go through the formalities of picking up the car.

  Li Weidong left the guest house with a driver who was familiar with Jinmen, and went to stroll around the lively places.

  In Jinmen City in 1985, besides the army of bicycles on the road, there were buses with overhead wires. This was a characteristic of big cities at that time.

In the prosperous area of ​​Jinmen City, there are already coin-operated telephone booths on the roadside, which is still new to the common people at the time. Around Haihe Square, there are endless small buildings. In the theater building of Ancient Culture Street, there are still people in Taiwan at night. In Shang Sing Opera, in the central park, the most famous blind date in the future is showing advertisements promoting late marriage and family planning.

  There are a lot of people in the Quanye field at night, such as Phoenix Confidence Car, Huaqing Pool, Jinmen Daoxiangcun and other big brands, but also have their own neon advertising, which adds vitality to the night.

  As far as nightlife is concerned, a big city like Jinmen is indeed a small Qinghe. It is a pity that although Li Weidong has a seventeen-year-old appearance, he has the mentality of a middle-aged and elderly person. He is not interested in the hustle and bustle of night life. He bought a bag of twists as a gift for the foodie brother and returned to the guest house.

  Li Weidong and Luo Bing lived in the same room. When Li Weidong opened the door, he happened to see Luo Bing eating dry food with pickles.

   "Captain Luo, why are you eating now?" Li Weidong asked.

"After a busy day, the meal was over. The chef has already taken a rest. I can only eat a few bites of dry food." Luo Bing said, looked at his watch, and asked, "It's you. Why did you come back so early? Not just strolling outside? Jinmen is much more lively than ours."

"I'm not interested, I will come back." Li Weidong said as he took out the bag of twists and placed it in front of Luo Bing, and then said: "Captain Luo, I just bought some twists. Try it. It's better than steamed bread and pickles. "

   "Thank you, then." Luo Bing was not polite, and he cut off a piece of twist and put it in the end, chewing it to pieces, with a satisfied expression on his face.

  Li Weidong picked up the thermos, poured himself a cup of tea, then sat next to Luo Bing, and asked, "Captain Luo, this time I went to the Foreign Trade Bureau, is it smooth?"

"Don't mention it, the thing is not done, we have to continue tomorrow." Luo Bing wiped his mouth with the back of his hand, and then said: "The deputy director in charge of this matter is not there. I waited until they got off work, and no one came back. The deputy director signs, we will not mention the car. I plan to go to the Foreign Trade Bureau to block him early tomorrow morning. If we can’t block him again, we will have to live for another day."

  Li Weidong thought for a while, and asked, “Captain Luo, why don’t I go with you tomorrow. Two people can at least change to a toilet. It’s more convenient to buy a meal.”

  Luo Bing nodded: "It's okay, then you can go with me. I will wake you up tomorrow morning. There is a pancake fruit nearby, which is very delicious. I will take you to try it."

  ……

  The next day, before dawn, Luo Bing and Li Weidong got up and left the guest house. Luo Bing asked Li Weidong to eat a pancake and the two went straight to the Foreign Trade Bureau.

  At the door of the Foreign Trade Bureau, the door was closed before work time, and the two waited at the door, hoping to block the deputy director. When the Foreign Trade Bureau went to work, the two ran away from the Foreign Trade Bureau to wait.

  However, until after nine o'clock in the morning, the deputy director still did not appear.

   In desperation, Luo Bing had to find the director of the office and asked about the situation of the deputy director.

   "Director Wang, I'm an errand runner, so don't make it difficult for me." Luo Bing's posture was very low.

  "This comrade, I'm really not embarrassing you. I really don't know when our weekly office will come back." The office director surnamed Wang replied.

   "You are the office director, so you won't know the schedule of the weekly bureau. I will ask him to sign and leave after signing. You can help me." Luo Bing begged.

Director Wang sighed helplessly: "Let’s tell you the truth. The Weekly Bureau has been receiving an important foreign guest these two days, but we encountered some troubles in the process of receiving foreign guests. We have been in the Weekly Bureau for these two days. Solve this matter. The matter is not resolved, I really don't know when he will be back."

   Luo Bing showed an expression of disbelief, as if he was questioning Director Wang's deliberate excuse.

Director Wang had no choice but to explain: "The foreign guest received by the Zhou Bureau this time is an automotive engineer from RB. In order to receive this foreign guest, we also specially hired a Japanese teacher from Tianjin University to interpret for the foreign guest. Who knows that this Japanese teacher has no problem dealing with daily conversations, but when it comes to the professional vocabulary of automobiles, he is blinded.

  The foreign guests are here to inspect cars. If you don’t understand the professional vocabulary of automobiles, the inspection will not be possible. We can only look for translators everywhere in the bureau. In our Jinmen, people who can speak Japanese are easy to find, but when it comes to professional vocabulary related to automobiles, it is really hard to find a single one. Zhou Bureau pondered, and if he couldn't find it, he would go to the capital in person and seek help from the Ministry of Foreign Trade. "

When Luo Bing heard this answer, his expression instantly changed to pickled cucumbers. He said to himself: "It is 150 kilometers from Jinmen to the capital. It takes a day to go back and forth! If you add more Don’t you have to wait two days to find the translation time?"

Luo Bing originally thought that when he came to Jinmen this time, he simply picked up the car and could leave the next day. But I didn't expect things to become so complicated.

  At this moment, Li Weidong next to him walked up and asked: "Director Wang, can I find a Japanese translator who understands automobile professional vocabulary and call Zhou Ju back?"

  "Can you find a translator?" Director Wang hurriedly asked.

  Li Weidong nodded: "I can find a Japanese translation proficient in automotive vocabulary."

   "Little Li, don't talk nonsense, you can't deceive the leaders of the Foreign Trade Bureau." Luo Bing hurriedly tugged at the corner of Li Weidong's clothes.

   "Team Luo, I didn't talk nonsense, I can really find a Japanese translation." Li Weidong said confidently.

   Seeing Li Weidong’s confident face, Director Wang said; “Well, as long as you find a Japanese translation, I will contact Zhou Bureau immediately and ask him to come back.”

   "No problem!" Li Weidong pointed to himself, and then said: "The translation you want is far away in the sky, right in front of you."

   "Is it you?" Luo Bing and Director Wang exclaimed at the same time, and then looked at Li Weidong with an incredible look.

  Li Weidong nodded: "I can speak some Japanese, especially the professional terminology of automobiles, which is what I am best at."

  Li Weidong has been a car mechanic in RB for several years. He is naturally very familiar with the professional terminology of automobiles. In this respect, ordinary RB people are not as good as Li Weidong.

  Director Wang didn’t believe Li Weidong. He said, “This little comrade, you didn’t deliberately lie to me just to get Zhou Ju to come back?”

  Li Weidong smiled: "If you don't believe me, now take a Japanese document and I will translate it for you on the spot."

  Director Wang looked at Li Weidong suspiciously, and then said to his subordinates: "Xiao Zhang, didn't our bureau receive a letter in Japanese the day before yesterday? Bring it to this little comrade and let him translate it."

  Shortly after, the clerk brought a Japanese letter. Li Weidong took the letter, read it halfway, and then said: "Well, let me read it in Japanese first, and then translate it again."

  I saw Li Weidong using proficient Japanese, first read the letter, and then translated the content of the letter, then raised his head and asked: "Director Wang, now you should believe me?"

"I believe it! I believe it! Little comrades, wait, I will find someone now and call Zhou Ju back." Director Wang said, and waved to his subordinates: "Xiao Zhang, hurry up and take these two comrades. Go to the reception room and make tea, melon seeds, sweets, and other snacks, and prepare some, but don’t be hungry for these two comrades!"

  ……

  In the reception room, Li Weidong leaned on the spring sofa, leisurely sipping melon seeds and drinking tea.

  Comrade Zhang from the office came in with a plate of snacks and said: "Two comrades, this is our Jinmen specialty snack. Try it."

   "Thank you." Li Weidong thanked him, and unceremoniously picked up a snack and stuffed it into his mouth.

Luo Bing next to    looked like sitting on pins and needles. The big spring sofa was lowered on Luo Bing’s butt, like a pointed stone.

   "Xiao Li, can you really translate Japanese? If you can't, I can't help it." Luo Bing whispered.

   "Team Luo, you can rest assured, come, taste this snack, it is crispy, crispy, and very fragrant, we can't eat it there." Li Weidong said, handing a piece of snack to Luo Bing.

   "How can I rest assured!" Luo Bing looked at the door, and then said: "Or, let's run while the weekly game has not come back?"

   "What are you running? Let's run, how can we even mention the car!" Li Weidong said with a smile.

   "I always feel uneasy in the game." Luo Bing then asked: "Where did you learn Japanese? And you know automotive jargon? The Japanese teachers in other universities don't know how to do it!"

   "Team Luo, don't forget, I came out of the auto repair workshop! The university teacher has never repaired a car, so I definitely don't understand the terminology of automobiles!"

  Li Weidong said, grabbing a handful of melon seeds and stuffing them into Luo Bing’s hand, intending to plug the mouth of this "curious baby".

  ……

   In 1985, there were no mobile phones in China, and even BP machines were a novelty. At least in Jinmen, there were no paging stations.

  In this case, finding someone is very difficult. If a person is away from home, there is no way to contact him.

  I don’t know how much work it took before Director Wang found Deputy Director Zhou who was away from home.

  Li Weidong and Luo Bing waited for a long time, the melon seeds were piled up on a large table, and the Deputy Director Zhou finally appeared in front of them.

Deputy Director Zhou walked into the reception room, took a look at Li Weidong and Luo Bing, walked directly towards Luo Bing, grasped Luo Bing’s hand, and said, “This is the translation teacher, I’m Zhou Fulai, let’s You have been waiting for so long, so sorry."

   "Uh, that, Zhou Ju, I am not a translator! The translator you are looking for is him." Luo Bing pointed at Li Weidong next to him with embarrassment.

   Zhou Fulai turned his head and looked at Li Weidong, frowning suddenly.

  "Are you a translator?" Zhou Fulai asked hesitantly.

  Li Weidong nodded: "Hello Zhou Ju, I am the Japanese translator you are looking for."

   "Why are you still a student? Isn't this a nonsense!" Zhou Fulai snorted, his tone full of dissatisfaction.

  Li Weidong shook his head helplessly.

   "Hey, I was underestimated again!"

  　Do you guys still want to invest? Some hurry up. The new book investment has an achievement of 30 consecutive days, with three thousand words updated every day, and the pass is completed within three days. Although the starting currency is not much, the mosquito legs are also a piece of meat.
