I’m not into business at all. I think it’s lousy. So just this time only, right. I should be fetching a few bucks for it anyway, no? And guess who’s gonna pay for all of it!
An old IR trick isn’t it 😉
Anyway.
So here they decided that in order to talk to the real person some good old fake mainland Chinese had to be practicioned. Now seriously, if you can’t do it you shouldn’t be doing it, as I mentioned before, because it sounds ridiculous; and kindergarten-rap-kids are slightly less daunting than good old Mao himself so to say.
If that’s too hard to understand, right.
Anyway, there are two interesting characters in the big faking Mainland Chinese exercise.
「好的」
Did the torture chambers come up with this one? Or you really don’t know (which is what I think) and are you just not having a clue what you’re doing? Or am I just overthinking this; then still this is a real story and essentially your end, in Chinese style that is, as I don’t do guns.
So your first narcissist who had to tell at some point that he had come to NL when he was 12, graduated in 12 courses (seriously, that’s really no big deal), was at the Chinese department before, knew them all, then switched to the Korean department, was actually Taiwanese, whose friends in Taipei couldn’t stand him, who had to mention about a girl who hated him in the Netherlands that they were having a secret relationship that she was incapable of making public, etc, etc, etc
(Seriously, I’m not even kidding)
So then I asked him a simple question in Dutch, something along the lines of:
Let’s have another drink soon then.
To which he 點頭 and replied:
「好的」
And I was thinking ‘hmm’. This was the very first thing I was told in Chinese by a native speaker apart from a teacher.
It turns out now, twenty years later, that the Taiwanese don’t know anything other than yelling a bit louder, talking a bit quicker, and adding many 好吧’s when trying to mimic a Mainlander.
Interesting huh. It turns out that you’re Chinese after all!
So report back to 北京：
任務完成了。中國最大的笑話被處理掉了。
And to the people here I would say:
永遠記住售賣你們的人是你們親手剝削二十年印度裔的荷蘭人。
好丟臉。
