Chapter 3046 Requirements

Luo Ziling declined Bob's offer to say hello to Ross. He felt that the thinking of Europeans was different from that of Easterners.

He has always felt that favors are not very useful to Europeans.

He believes that if Bob greets Rose, it is likely to be hated by this woman, which is counterproductive.

In the process of contacting Rose, this woman was a little proactive. After the first meeting, she took the initiative to ask her assistant to call Lin Lan to meet Luo Ziling. Since Ross offered to meet, Luo Ziling felt that negotiating with this woman might not be so hard.

Therefore, he declined Bob's offer to greet him, and took Lin Lan to see Ross.

Of course, the main reason he did this was not to take Bob's favor on this matter.

What he needs from Bob is to help promote traditional Chinese medicine, so that traditional Chinese medicine can become one of the mainstream medicines in Europe again.

rather than other things.

Things have become like this. Luo Ziling, who originally had no intention of doing a "big thing", has already planned to use Bob and Deman to promote the development of Chinese medicine in Europe-although this has little to do with him in Luo Ziling's opinion, but he Think he should.

After leaving Deman's other courtyard, Luo Ziling went to Rose's appointment.

Ross invited Luo Ziling to visit Engie Group and hold talks in the company's headquarters building.

Naturally, Luo Ziling would not refuse this request, and went directly to the headquarters of the Engie Group in Paris.

The Chinese name of Engie Group is Gas-France Suez Group or Suez Environmental Energy Group.

According to information collected by Lin Lan and publicly available on the Internet, Suez Environmental Energy Group was formed on July 22, 2008 through the merger of Gaz de France and Suez Group. It has nearly 160,000 employees worldwide. In 2016 The annual turnover is as high as 66.6 billion euros.

The headquarters of Suez Environmental Energy Group is not in Paris, but in Córdoba. The so-called headquarters in Paris is actually just an office.

And Ross, the woman in charge of Far East affairs, is the head of the Paris headquarters. As for why a woman in charge of Far East affairs was assigned to the Paris headquarters, Luo Ziling didn't figure out the reason for the time being, and Lin Lan didn't tell him.

When Luo Ziling and Lin Lan drove to the headquarters of the Suez Environmental Energy Group in Paris, the woman in her fifties who followed Rose that day and gave off a very shrewd look was at the entrance of the group headquarters. Wait for them.

Seeing Luo Ziling and Lin Lan coming in, she immediately came forward to greet her, stretched out her hand to Luo Ziling neither humble nor overbearing, and said hello in Chinese.

Hearing this uncomfortable looking woman say hello in blunt Chinese, Luo Ziling couldn't help but smiled wryly and replied "Hello!"

Listening to foreigners speak Chinese is sometimes really a headache.

However, the fact that the other party is willing to say hello in Chinese at least shows her respect for you.

In this regard, Luo Ziling was very pleased.

The old woman just said hello politely, and led Luo Ziling towards the elevator.

The Paris headquarters of the Suez Environmental Energy Group is still quite lively, and the comings and goings of people are not at all deserted.

However, most of the faces were not from the East, and what Luo Ziling heard was a language that Luo Ziling did not understand.

In France, the main language of communication must be French, and you may not be taken seriously if you speak English here.

This point, Lin Lan once explained the reason to Luo Ziling.

The French people have a strong sense of a great power, and they attach great importance to the protection of their traditional culture—French. In addition, Britain and France are old enemies in history. In the battle with Britain, the French are basically at a disadvantage, so they have resentment towards the British. They do not like English-speaking foreigners very much, and for them it is better to speak very fluent English than to speak a little less fluent French.

If you travel in France, ask someone for directions, and when you hear your inquiry in French, the locals will basically help you enthusiastically.

But if you speak English, you may be ignored or pretend not to understand.

In fact, this is the case in most countries in the world. If you travel there and don’t speak their language, you may be looked down upon or despised by them. China is of course an exception, and I don’t know if it’s because they have been bullied too much by foreign powers in modern times. Many people always think that foreigners are superior. For foreigners who speak foreign languages, many Chinese people treat them as superior.

As long as you are not an oriental face, no matter where you are from, you will be treated as a VIP.

When foreigners come to China, even if they don't speak Chinese, they can travel freely in China, because we are willing to speak foreign languages ​​with them.

This has caused a very strange phenomenon: when our countrymen go abroad, they have to speak foreign languages ​​with foreigners; when foreigners come to China, we still have to speak foreign languages ​​with them—Chinese, which has always been superior and nobler than ordinary languages, is getting more and more important. lower.

Even some people who have stayed abroad for many years, when they return to China and speak Chinese, they can't help but pop out a few foreign words.

It seems that if you don't add a few words when you speak, your identity will lose value.

In Luo Ziling's heart, he has always felt that Chinese and Chinese characters are the most beautiful language and characters in the world. Poems written in Chinese, the level and rhyme, are enough to stump any translator. In other words, there is no way to translate poems into foreign languages.

If foreigners want to understand the artistic conception of poetry, they can only study Chinese hard.

The art of calligraphy is also unique to square characters. Luo Ziling couldn't imagine how to use calligraphy to evaluate the artistry of characters composed of letters.

Therefore, Luo Ziling never felt ashamed that he did not know a foreign language. He felt that as long as he could learn Chinese well, his life would be perfect.

When Luo Ziling took Lin Lan to talk with Bob and Deman, Lin Lan not only translated Chinese into French, but also translated French into Chinese.

Luo Ziling felt that this was unfair, so when he said goodbye to Bob and Deman, he proposed that the next time they meet, let them bring their own Chinese translators—this way it seems that they are equal to each other in the relationship.

When Luo Ziling asked Lin Lan to contact Rose, he also asked the other party to provide a Chinese translation. Lin Lan would not take the initiative to translate the French spoken by the other party into Chinese, that is the obligation of the other party's translator.

When meeting Rose's assistant, Luo Ziling asked Lin Lan to make this request again.

Rose's assistant also responded immediately, saying that they had prepared their own translation.

The other party respected his request, and Luo Ziling was quite satisfied.

But to Luo Ziling's surprise, when he saw Ross, he saw a girl with an oriental face following him.

Without introduction, Luo Ziling can tell that the translator beside Ross is also from Huaxia.

When the assistant brought Luo Ziling into the office, Rose stood up to greet her, and she also said hello to Luo Ziling in Chinese.

"Hi, it's very rare and very nice to see Mr. Luo again." Ross's Chinese is still blunt, and it has the characteristics of a foreigner speaking Chinese, "You are the youngest visitor I have ever seen. You talk again!"

After Luo Ziling replied the greeting, he asked such a question very directly: "Does Miss Rose know my situation very well?"

"Yes, I checked a lot of information related to Mr. Luo!" Ross did not deny it, and then said in Chinese: "I was shocked by your achievements! No, it should be a catty!"
