Summary of December 2006

In the past month I leraned much more than ever before. After writing several letters with out reply, an India customer resumed me, What excited! He’s the first foreign customer who replyed me and talked with making the next business relationship. Though the cooperation is not determined, I was excitedly reporting Mr.Luo. During this time all difficulties in jobs and learning had been forgotten, leaving happiness and excitements only.

 

However I realize there was still nothing for my business if I always deep in this progress without doing more. Mr.Luo asked me to look for the factories which made ANSI B16.5 flanges, elbows as well as TEE. By the experiences of these days I can find these factories on internet quickly and soon make relations with them. Taking the detailed requirement list to the factories’ staffs and answering their questions in professional terminologies I could soon receive the price list and the answers of our questions about these products. Thanks for get experiences about export from Mr.Jiang and Mr.Luo My work became easier and happier. At last they selected a factory in Dingxiang Shanxi to supply us flanges as their price had a lot of charm for us. Then I wrote letters to the customer and quoted to him. Now the reply has not been received but I still insisted on thinking our price had enough attraction for him to make long-term business relation with us. Now I am looking for factories which can supply elbows and TEE. There have been three factories for choice, one had quoted to us, the other two will quote us soon.

 

In English learning I read the books from Mrs.Jiang and started reading some English novels such as “The Adventures of Tom Sawyer”. Though there were still so many words and sentences I couldn’t understand, I tried my best to realize more. Sometimes I chatted with my friednds who were good at English, I asked them to talk with me in English. I thought these were good ways for me to learn English well. In these days I also felt there were still some difficulties in English study such as listening and speaking. I can read and write English all the time, however the time for me to listen and speak English is too limited. 

 

During these days’ work in our company I also thought too much. In my opinion our company gave me a good chance to try my best to carry out my value. In this space I could learn konwledges both in business and foreign language study. Though maybe I will earn less than my classmates now, I can learn more than them at least in English and business in future. Learning in work is easier and more useful than in collage. It’s also an important experience to me even influenced my hole life. So I will try my best to work hard for our company, for my parents, for myself.

Summary - an English practise

Now I am a business man , the boss let me to write summaries about English study and work. So I have to do it... 

Summary

It’s near a month since I come to Qingdao and I have a general idea about our company. Having made some good friends I found there are so many good officers in our company that I should learn more to catch up with them. Now my English is still too poor to perfectly express all things I want to say. I think it is a good practise for me to learn English so I decided to write this summary in English. Though there will be so many mistakes, I had done my best. Please point all the mistakes then I will rewrite them rightly soon.

     Now the general manager, Mr.Jiang let me to start to learn steel flange business. In the past days Mr.Lou and I had found out some important messages from books and internet. We start to know something about flanges, such as the norms, the material, the schedule rate as well as some other technical standards. But we found it was too hard for us to find a custmer establishing a long-term trade relation. Now the messages on internet about buying flanges are quite few. It seems that even when the messages on internet were found by us and we tried to contant with the custmers, maybe there had been so many letters and faxes sent to the custmers from the other trade companies in China or abroad before us. How to get the messages about demand of flanges in time is the most important to us. Mr.Luo told me there were some ways to find custmers: to be introduced by friends, to be found on internet, to be found by attended to fairs. However none could be used now expect the second way and the disadvantages about it was mentioned at the front parts of this section. Now the only job I can do is study English and prefessional knowledges that to get ready for the business in future.

    At last I tell my experience about English study. I never be afraid of writing since I study English. But I am quite poor in reading and speaking. The number of English words I can remember is too few to be uesd easily. It seems that my based English is quite poor and I should spend more time and pay more attentions on it . Mr.Jiang told me to find out the English lesson books in junior school and read them carefully. Now I have collected all junior school English lesson books and read some of them over, the others are reading everyday. The most difficult thing is remembering words because it costs too much time. I have only way to remember all the words I read, writing and reading at last remember them. It seems not clever but I can not find out another way easier.

    Now I am a business man. Since I chose it I am determined to do it well. I will spend more time and pay more attentions to study and work. For a good future I will do my best!
 
    Study English...too hard but sometimes I felt nice, and you ?

没想到偶竟然成了个忽悠洋鬼子的生意人...人生转折啊

     工作问题很早就在跑,其实我也没太当事毕竟家里很早就在当地给找了份安稳的工作垫底了,事业单位,蹲着是闲但好在稳定。不过由于贪心不足的问题,迟迟没去上班。济南青岛两边也有人帮着跑,琢磨德州这地方毕竟挣的太少前途不大,终而至于工作定了,青岛省经贸厅下属的国企。单位不大,属于管理型企业不搞经营,倒也算稳定,于是满怀着希望一天跑了800多公里(顺便跑了趟烟台改了户口迁移证)赶到青岛报道...
 
     到了单位才发现,原来刚分配来的大学生是不会安排在本部上班的,先要下到公司下属二级企业锻炼锻炼,我这国贸科班出身的人自然被发配到了国际贸易公司,对外语要求高不说还要到处跑业务,老总也把话说开了,第一年是不会安排指标考核的,也会找明白人带带偶。也会安排外出跑跑广交会之类的,想来想去说白了就是个国贸业务员啊...晕,想我一家四代没出过一个买卖人,到了本人,直接一步登天成了和洋鬼子面对面打交道的国贸从业人员了。老板说得挺好:是什么高级白领,层次很高,和老外打交道赚洋鬼子的钱。不过偶想来想去好像这事说到底还是脱不开个能力问题啊,晕,想想自己可怜的外语水平,想想当年整天逃专业课外出游玩的日子,说实话我还真没啥自信干这种买卖。不过后悔不是男人所为,毕竟当初的想法就是找个轻闲又多俸禄的单位混上一辈子拉倒,毕业的时候连本专业课的书都没留全当废纸卖了,所以有了变故没有准备也是理所当然的。现在的关键还是尽快融入角色适应这个变故,学英语,学国贸,学社交礼仪,学对外交际...晕这几项随便哪个学精了都可以称为大家跑央视讲讲学了...全才,作国贸竟然需要这样的人,时至今日看来终于要和自己头22年的浑噩生活说再见了...
 
     老爸问有没有必要捎个笔记本带去用用,偶这点自知之明还是有的,要是捎个电脑去还能有时间学英语我就真不姓张了,于是干脆买了个mp4,不过拿mp4+2G sd卡看金正昆教授的现代礼仪讲座看商务英语电子书的人,普天之下除了本人不会有几个了吧...

荒废中的space,多少也灌些水好了

以前只知道自己很懒,现在才发现自己是真的懒到家了。自从7月初驾驶理论考试通过后,快3个月了今天是第一次更新。尽管微软搞得这不三不四的升级很是恼人也算个不错的客观理由,从主观上看自己也真算懒得圆满了...
 
一切顺利,科目二、三顺利通过,本子到手。现在基本每天开70-100公里巩固,十月二号也跑了趟长途回了趟老家,一路平安。
 
打算告别网络游戏,玩了好几年,冲级打怪瞄头点鼠标的腕部抽筋生涯再不结束恐怕这抽筋的手是快受不了了。只是最近一无大片二没有什么好的日剧可看,每天爬上verycd看到更新的满篇都是韩剧韩剧的,换个口味看看韩剧?偶尔会有这个念头,但又总是本能上对“人造美女”、“泡菜文化”这样的字眼有些抵触。看来还是得坚持下原则,继续等等吧,好在最近电骡上恐怖片更新的很快,也还暂时可以满足一下精神生活上的需求。
 
工作问题迟迟悬而不决,目前看来去青岛的几率在75%,不过我总觉得留在家的可能性恐怕不止25%,这种事强求不得,也没什么选择余地,看情况发展吧,不过目前此事已经严重影响到个人问题的解决,也罢,听天由命也许是更好的选择也说不定呢。太公钓鱼,继续等着吧。

理论测试高分通过,准备上路了...

      由于比较恶心的原因,不得不在解放后很短的时间内重新投入学习中...更是极度不情愿的重新跨进了教室的门槛,重新体验一次学生时代的生活,当然是在驾校。
 
      说实话,由于学生时代刚刚结束,心中一股恶气刚刚要痛快地吐出,此时老爸给我指派个拿驾照的任务,无疑就像把刚要吐出的恶气又吞回去一半一样的别扭。心理毫无准备不说,更恶心的是重拾学生时代本人最为恶心也最为鄙视的机械记忆法,去死记硬背那些本可以简化许多的交通规则,是无论如何也难以忍受的。只是工作迟迟定不下来,如果老泡在家里玩电脑多少还是会落个不务正业的坏名声,况且吃人嘴短拿人手短,经济不独立就只能依命行事了...
 
      于是便报了名去了驾校,而且经常要下午一点半顶着烈日骑行十余里去“上学”——唉...倒退啊。
 
      当然我这人本性总是不会改变的,说我多用功多爱学习那是扯,但是课本上那令人头痛的一百二十多页的题库还是必须要看个遍的。好在时间比较轻松,一百二十页分到三周看还不算多大的负担。于是就马马虎虎的学上了。前两天的热度还是不错的,开头的纯交通规则其实不算复杂,进度很快,而且效率不错。但学习得吸引力无论如何没法跟玩电脑比啊,不出三天,就该干什么干什么了。电脑该玩还是玩,闲书没事也要看看,我就顺便读完了《中国红军演义》又重新看了《红与黑》和《钢铁是怎样炼成的》...没办法,晚上父母都在家我无论如何也不好意思再老坐在电脑前了。那就看点名著喽。当然,偶尔无聊了还是会去驾校把把头,探探老师口风,顺便再做点题。将近三周的时间就这么过去了。老妈带着极度的怀疑与不放心跑桂林玩去了,临走还再三嘱咐偶要好好学习...老爸鉴于本人一贯的表现(过程一贯难看,结果一贯放心),也就睁只眼闭只眼的装看不见了。
 
      于是乎便熬到了昨天,一大早自然是不能学习的,那就玩呗,玩到快10点琢磨该看会理论了,一个电话打来,南峰工作搞定报道归来顺便跑偶这来玩玩已经在楼下了...赶紧开门迎上来,两人天南海北的侃了一通,一看表将近11点了,送走了他又赶紧蒸上米饭,老爸也回来了,进门坐电脑前跑联众拱上猪了...于是偶又跑那蒸笼似的厨房里吃油烟了...吃完饭坐下歇会,琢磨该去驾校做点题热热身了,于是赶早一点半就出了门。顶着正午的烈日赶到驾校,才发现自己真的晚了不少,不大个教室别说空电脑了,连单独一个人占个电脑的都没见几个。唉,用功咋都跟我一样用呢?不知道什么叫笨鸟先飞?继续待那里已经没有任何意义,也就回家了,到家刚两点,此时老爸已经爬起来了,继续占着电脑继续他的拱猪事业。见我回来便打发我上床睡觉,没办法反正没事做睡就睡吧于是一觉睡到4点,醒了发现老爸已经走人,自然要玩会了,偏偏今晚老爸又有应酬,难得自己在家的机会不好好把握错过可就太遗憾了,那就CS比赛呗,于是一气干到七点半...老爸也回来了,而且似乎喝了不少,伺候好他坐下突然想起他的鲁熊今天有比赛,赶紧开了电视找到山东体育频道,刚开场...那就陪他看会呗,这场球鲁熊还真能了,一气干武汉个5:1,老巴辛一大老粗的中后卫一气进了俩球,应该说这场球还真没白看,鲁熊今年还真有冠军相了。
 
      等比赛完事,也九点了,赶紧翻书看啊。当然我一贯不反对把很多问题积攒起来在很短的时间内集中处理,我认为这样做有助于最大限度的集中精力,而且效率也蛮不错。不过个中辛苦恐怕不是每个人都能很容易承受的,比如说这晚,120页的题库本人从9:15看到11点半才勉强看了一遍,想着第二天早上要六点起床,就不得不上床睡觉了...
 
      天亮,铃响,早饭没吃便收拾东西赶赴驾校,长个心眼早早跑大巴上占了个座坐下,看着看着书人就多了起来,不出10分钟大巴便挤满了人,来晚的就只能坐引擎盖了。到最后这车似乎超载早就过20%了,这可不是个好榜样...好在7点不到交警还没上班,也就没人管这闲事了...6点半一到开车走人,绕了大半个德州市把我们拉到了交警大队。
 
      于是发证件排队等候考试,本人被分在了第2批,可以坐下来慢慢等到八点半以后再进考场...晕~早知道这个谁吃饱了撑的一大早跑他驾校坐他那破大巴,我家离交警大队可比他驾校近一多半的...起码可以睡个好觉再来嘛...应该说中国人的时间观念是很差劲的,尤其是对待别人的时间上...好在已经看得差不多了,静下心来再复习会也不是坏事,就是学习环境差了些,交警大队嘛,进进出出的也就车最多了...挺吵...看了会觉得意义不大了,便坐那看热闹听笑话,于是便听到了在场的某位考了4次的仁兄和某位还没开考便如临大敌临阵找枪手的MM的逸事...第一批进去的人很快便有出来的了,有些讲究的还给画重点找考题,于是本人也就沾个光提前知道了几个题,不过也是早就熟记于胸的东西了,这时候心里着实轻松了很多,原来理论考试也不过如此。便安心等着进场了...
 
       到点,进场,用十来分钟上机做题,交卷,一看成绩:99...晕,看来临阵抱佛脚偶尔还是会抱点肥肉回家的,打电话给远在桂林的老妈报喜,她也可以放下包袱轻松上阳朔了...至于老爸,得知分数后无外乎又是哪些老话:“不要取得一点成绩就沾沾自喜...”、“要小心谨慎...”之类的,装听不见拉倒了,不过终而至于是可以放松两天了,尽管真正紧张了其实也就一晚上+一早上,不过下周上路前偶还是可以好好玩玩了...
