The original name of the translator was fan Deng, who was specially hired by the two foreigners who came to Mingzhou for tourism because of their language barrier. Just yesterday afternoon, fan Deng had something to do, so he asked for half a day off in front of the foreigners.
Because there was no fan Deng, the two foreigners did not know where to go. At the end of the day, they decided to go for a walk. Because the hotel they stayed in was not far from the old street, they soon came to the old street and met the old man who was a small business stall owner.
Perhaps because they like Chinese culture, or because they are attracted by the old man's handicrafts, two foreigners in front of the old man's booth took a fancy to the bamboo root carving carved by the old man himself. Although the buyer and the seller didn't know the language, and the transaction process almost depended on gestures, the transaction was successfully completed in the end.
What's worth mentioning is that the two foreigners came to China for the first time, and the expenses were arranged by fan Deng and the company behind them. They mistakenly thought that the prices in China were the same as those in Europe. When they asked about the price of bamboo root carving, the old man gave them five fingers, which meant 500 yuan, but they were regarded as 500 pounds by foreigners.
Although the money is not a small amount, the two foreigners really like bamboo root carving, and they are not short of money. They even think that they have picked up a bargain and immediately pay to complete the transaction.
The old man is a dutiful businessman. He has never been out of Mingzhou in his life, let alone seen pounds. When he got the five hundred pounds, he thought it was foreigners who cheated him with fake money, so that he didn't give up for a long time.
Fortunately, a kind-hearted passer-by told the old man that it was foreign pounds. Only when one pound could be exchanged for more than ten yuan, could the old man feel at ease and complete the deal. He even thought happily and made a big deal.
But who would have thought that after the two foreigners returned to the hotel, they brought the bamboo root carving to fan Deng to appreciate. The original intention was to express their joy and harvest, but fan Deng had a crooked mind. He not only worshipped foreign countries, but also wanted to take both sides to earn more benefits.
After fan Deng's provocation, he explained to foreigners that they had been cheated. He said that the bamboo root carving was originally an antique, but it was sold to them by the old man with a high imitation. He also said that if it was a real antique, it would be worth 500 pounds. No doubt, but the bamboo root carving was a fake. In other words, the old man cheated them.
Perhaps because fan Deng was the translator they invited, the two foreigners mistakenly thought it was true out of trust, but they didn't want to trouble the old man. They just thought it was an unpleasant experience after they came to China.
When he saw that the two foreigners were not investigated, fan Deng was very anxious. He had spent so much effort. If the foreigners were not investigated, his plan would be ruined. So he once again bewitched them and patted his chest to make sure that he could handle the matter well and let the old man apologize to them.
Although we don't care about the 500 yuan, we all know that British people are most concerned about gentlemanly manners. Therefore, in the eyes of two foreigners, it is most reasonable to accept an apology after being cheated, which leads to an immediate dispute.
What's wrong with fan Deng? As we can see now, he intends to pull the tiger skin of foreigners to make overcoats. By virtue of the language barrier between foreigners and the elderly, he swindles the elderly out of high compensation on the ground that fake goods have been cheated, which is what he calls "false one pays ten".
As long as he gets the compensation, he will play a little more tricks, and the money will naturally fall into his pocket. At that time, he will not only show himself in front of foreigners, but also get a lot of compensation, which can be regarded as taking both sides and reaping both fame and wealth.
Only from this point of view, fan Deng's means are not high, his heart is not black, otherwise he will not play foreigners and old people around.
It's not only that. In order to make himself more upright and more bluffing, he took foreigners to find the old man's stall and pretended to be angry without saying a word. He didn't ask about the old man's stall owner and had a good addiction to fake the tiger's power.
But because there were so many onlookers, the two foreigners could not help feeling reluctant. They just fell in love with Luban pillow and thought it was beautiful. Under pressure, fan Deng had to reduce the compensation by half and count Luban pillow as compensation.
It has to be said that fan Deng's abacus is really loud. No one can see through his tricks, or even see that he is about to achieve his goal. However, he did not expect to meet Lin Xi at this critical time!
Perhaps seeing the intense emotion of the crowd, the two foreigners called fan Deng to negotiate and ask what happened. Moreover, they obviously felt that they were not in good mood and knew that they were coming for themselves. They were worried that they wanted to leave this right and wrong place as soon as possible.
As for compensation and apology, the two foreigners don't pay much attention to it. After all, life safety is the most important thing. Even if they really want to apologize, they can come back later or seek the help of the police. There's no need to be surrounded here.
As soon as the fat meat was coming, how could fan Deng let it run away? He immediately explained to the foreigners that the crowd's emotions were not directed at them, but were indignant at the old man's dishonesty and the old man's despicable progress of refusing to pay compensation.
It is obvious that fan Deng's skill of distorting facts and telling lies is really well cultivated. This is also the reason why Lin Xi secretly scolds him for his wonderful work. Without fan Deng's provocation, this dispute would not have happened. His behavior is really harmful to others and not to himself."What's going on here? Why are you all crowded here... Please let me go"
just at this time, the negotiation between foreigners and fan Deng had just ended, and a heavy and serious voice suddenly sounded behind the crowd. At the same time, the crowd pushed back to make way for people to pass.
The next moment, three people came into the rear of the crowd. At first, the man was dandruff, bald, and some big bellied. He was a standard middle-aged greasy man, dressed in a suit that wasn't elegant. He walked with a cursory manner. As for the two people in the back, they were well dressed security guards, each holding a plastic stick similar to a baton.
Obviously, these three people are all managers of the old street office. Seeing that a large number of people gathered here, which seriously affected the already crowded passenger flow and traffic of the old street, they specially came forward to dredge and solve the problem.
When he saw the three managers coming and squatting on the ground to clean up the old man whose stall had been overturned, he suddenly seemed to meet the backbone. He stood up from the ground, took the man in front of him by the arm, and cried, "director Xing, you can count it. You have to make the decision for me. They are too bullied by foreigners ···"
director Xing, who came up to the old man, saw his eyes being lifted All over the place are many kinds of handicrafts, as well as fan Deng and foreigners who confront the old man. They even look at Lin Xi and Yu Qingming. Then they can't help but frown and ask in an unhappy voice: "what's the matter?"
In fact, it's no wonder that director Xing is not happy, because today is new year's day. The old street is already crowded, which greatly increases the difficulty of management. But this kind of thing happens at this time, blocking so many people to join in the fun. Isn't it increasing their workload.
Moreover, director Xing has been working in the management of the old street for many years. He has seen this kind of thing for more than one time. He immediately guessed the cause and process. Moreover, he is familiar with the old people and knows that the old people can never make trouble out of nothing.
What's more, even if there is a real dispute, we can't open up other people's stalls. It's not equal to smashing people's jobs.
When fan Deng saw director Xing coming, his face changed because of his guilty heart. He didn't expect that the management personnel would come so quickly. Or more accurately, he didn't know when the efficiency of domestic work was so high. I'm afraid it's rare to see him abroad!
However, fan Deng is proud that he has the support of foreigners. Even the managers are not afraid of him. Before he went abroad, he was very clear about the domestic standard of treating foreign friends. I don't think director Xing dare to do anything to him and foreigners.
When he wanted to fight here, fan Deng's face became arrogant again. He walked up to director Xing and said: "you are the management staff here, right? I just want to go to you ····"
