The first thing Steve Ballmer felt when he got out of the car was strange: the decoration style of the company was very elegant and comfortable. But it made him feel uncomfortable - there was no English logo. In some places, there were a few English letters under the Chinese names, but strangely, according to any grammar he knew, he could not spell out the meaning of those letters. After the red faced translation explanation, he finally realized that it was the Chinese pinyin of the Chinese people.

The people who were greeting came out, there were three. The little girl was the vice president, Long Jinkang was the vice president, and I was the attendant.

Traditional politeness, handshake without any suspense, introduced that the old tune can no longer serve tea and water in the old tune. Next, it's time to get to the topic. However, this Steve Ballmer actually said something to me almost spitting blood. He actually said to the little girl: "Look for a long time, lean for a long time." Long time... Long time, the little girl has just sat in the position of this vice president for a few days, and has not announced it to the public. Where have you been low for a long time? Where have you been leaning on?

"Your company's Chenlong software is powerful and its design concept is very novel." Steve Ballmer did not talk nonsense, and just sat down and went straight to the point: "I think, can we Microsoft cooperate with your company?"

"Haha! I wonder what Mr. Steve is referring to cooperation?" The little girl resisted the displeasure in her heart and said. Damn, these Americans were too much. They actually talked directly in English, and the Steve with high nose and green eyes was fine. After all, he was a serious American and might not speak Chinese. But what about the female translator? She never looked at this side from the door. The conversation between the two sides only translated what we said to the Americans. She didn't translate a word from Steve and she had to look at people with her eyes slanted. This was obviously arrogant! It's amazing to have an American backer! Damn, you're waiting for your aunt to deal with you.

Thinking of this little girl, she stood up: "Mr. Steve, I don't think we need to continue talking. Please come back!"

"Why?" Steve Ballmer shouted in surprise: "Dear Miss Zhang, what a good atmosphere of conversation! Why do you say that? What happened to make you so angry?"

"What's the matter? Humph!" The little girl sneered a few times: "I would like to ask Mr. Steve, is this Chinese land or your American land?"

"Is this more important?" Steve Ballmer was a little embarrassed to see what the beautiful girl in front of him wanted to do: "Of course it's the land of China."

"Since it is China's land," the little girl looked unreasonable and unforgiving: "Then, why do you still talk to me in English? Here, I am the master and you are the guest. There is an old Chinese saying: "A guest will follow the host's will," which means that in China's fast land, what you do must be approved by the Chinese. The same is true for speaking language. I don't understand what you say, so I have to avoid talking about everything. If it is Mr. Steve, you can't speak Chinese, then I can understand, after all,

You are an American. But the Miss Zhang next to you is a translator. She has already shown her identity as a translator when you come in and introduce her. So why does she only translate what I say to you, but not what you say to me? So, I have every reason to think that this is a discrimination from Microsoft against our Chenlong Company. So, in this situation where the identities between the two parties are aligned, I don’t think there is any need for a talk between us, let alone any cooperation.”

Steve Ballmer didn't say anything, put two fingers on the bottom of the wall, and nodded slightly. Obviously, he agreed with the little girl's words, but he was a little unable to say it for a while.

Surprise! It was so surprising! Zhang Xiaohong looked at the female vice president opposite and felt her throat dry. Since she walked into the door of this company, she has not taken every Chinese here seriously. In her opinion, she is a VIP and is negotiating with Microsoft representatives. Of course you have to respect me. When she saw the little girl for the first time, she was stunned by Lin'er's beauty. Although she was very confident in her appearance, she was absolutely ashamed of Lin'er's comparison. A woman's biggest enemy is a woman who is more beautiful than herself. From that time

At first, Zhang Xiaohong decided to suppress Lin'er desperately at the negotiating table. Humph! The young beautiful vice president? Come on, maybe he climbed up with a man's thick legs! With this contempt, Zhang Xiaohong had no idea of ​​translating to Lin'er. She just wanted Lin'er to be ugly. Don't you have the ability to be the vice president? Well, you just translate it yourself! But what she didn't expect was that Lin'er would start fighting back in such a short time, and was so fierce, which surprised her.

"You, you're making trouble." Zhang Xiaohong said this from her mouth after holding it in a long time. But after all, she was also a woman who struggled from below and quickly recovered her position: "According to international practice, English is the common language in the international community. Microsoft is a well-known multinational company. Every time she goes to a place, every negotiation uses English as the negotiation language. Yes, I am a translator, but my duty is to serve our representatives. Your company does not use professional translators, but instead accuses us of disrespect for your company. This makes no sense."

"The common language of the world?" The little girl smiled sarcastically: "What about Chinese? Isn't Chinese a common language in the world? Compared to English, Chinese is still the most popular language in the world! How do you explain this? Don't use this to suppress me. I can tell you that everyone in Chenlong Company uses Chinese, and Chinese is the only language we recognize. Whether you say I am ignorant or I have no education, even if you say I don't understand the negotiation rules, I can tell you, aunt, I am

I just don’t understand any language except Chinese. To be honest, my English scores were a mess and I never scored above 60 points, but this did not prevent me from becoming the president of the company. Everyone in the company is the same as me, and it did not prevent us from developing the best software in the world. If you want to negotiate with me, you can speak Chinese, and I can’t do anything else. That’s it.” After that, the little girl pulled up and listened to the side and walked out of the conference room, and turned off the lights.

Steve Ballmer quietly stayed there without moving for a long time. The American personnel who accompanied him didn't say anything, just looked at each other in the darkness.

After a while, Steve Ballmer stood up and walked out of the conference room silently. Today's result was something he had never expected. Before coming, he had thought that both parties might bargain with the content of the cooperation, and that all the possibility of a breakdown of the negotiations. But what he had never expected was that English, the native language he spoke every day, would lead to such serious consequences. He liked and admired the female vice president of Chenlong Company. Beautiful, generous and decent.

Even he was used to seeing many beauties, he couldn't help feeling a little lost when he saw it. But why would such a beautiful woman get so angry in front of him? Steve Ballmer considers himself a complete gentleman, and the blood of Great Britain and America flowing on him gives him the seriousness of the British and American humor. As long as he takes action, he has never lost in negotiations that are mainly women. Why is this Chinese woman an exception? Is it really because, as she said, she can only understand Chinese?
