Rick1985:以前的客户要为我买电脑,太感动了!
这个客户Andy是我以前工作的客户,后来辞职来到这家新的公司上班一直有联系。我们回邮件就像写文章一样长,虽然我的英语一般,但是表达的意思他还是可以理解。
现在这家新公司的情况我之前已经在FOB发贴过,给我提供了一台根本无法正常运转的电脑,几乎随便打开个word就会死机。后来跟Andy聊到现在这份工作时,他这样回复我:
Hi Rick,
Thanks for the appreciation.
Yes, you are right.Most of the time I replied to you after I finish my works.
Regarding about the computer.Yes, you deserve the best computer in the company.In my personal view, if I have to eat less so that I can properly support the Marketing Department than I am going to do it.That is how much I value the Sale and Marketing Department.Company grow or not solely depending on this department and I do not know why they much such a decision.
In my personal view yes it is a good idea to communicate with your director.However, you need to be very careful.If I am the director then I will immediately take action to resolve the issue.But I don't know about the director at your company.Right now, the economy is not very well.If you get a new computer and the sale result does not improve then he will have a reason to confront with you.
I wonder how much a used computer cost in China.Here in US a used computer can be use for general purpose is about $120 to $150 - Pentium 4, 2.4 mHz.Rick, if a used computer at reasonable price, I have no problem with sending the money to you through Western Union so that you can get one.I am not rich "Now", however, if the money I spend able to contribute a good value to another person I would do it.Let me know Ok.I really do not think that I is a good idea to demand at this moment.The thing is that you will need to ask the director permission to bring in your own computer - you need to explain to him that in order for you to work more effective you really need a fairly good computer.This way he may arrange to get a good computer for you.He may say that - yes, it is ok for you to bring in your own computer.If you bring in your own computer and able to improve the sale for the company then you earn a great deal of respect from your director.
Rick, don't hesitate about telling how much the computer cost ok.If it is reasonable I will send money to you through Western Union.Yes, just like you, I believe that the Sale and Marketing Department is the root of the success of the company.
Sincerely,
Andy Lee.
PS.It is slightly cold here in Southern California.
看了真的很感动,虽然美国的南加利福尼亚州有点冷,但是在大洋彼岸的一个中国人心头却是暖洋洋的。
石头门门主:不敢相信:time:
鱿鱼一号:亏你们有心了,这么长:Q
大雄1201:...捡到宝贝了...
sophia19851026:真的好好,我要是遇上这么好的客户就好了~
mandyshuo:这个客户是美国华人么?
Sue:我也感觉不像是个地道的美国人写的:( :(
咖啡粉末:英文好长 。。我英文太差了。没看懂 LZ能搞个中文版本的么
露似月:为什么你们这么幸运
偶备受来自经理和客户两方面的夹击
Shiny-sunny:
同感
不过这个客户的确是挺好的 让人觉得温暖
Rick1985:
你太利害了,他是华裔,祖父是中国人,母亲是越南人,怎么看得出来的?
Andy以前有跟我走过货,后来他被合作伙伴骗了,现在在一家牙医诊所做营销经理。他说准备过年后等美国那边的行情好了再跟我合作,还是做以前走我的产品。下面是我的回复:
Hello Andy,
It's very nice of you to buy acomputer for me, I'm so glad I have such a nice friend of you. Actually I have solved this problem and I will tell you the detail.
Talking about the computer, I don't go to my director. As you said, I'm a freshman and everyone works under the rule and if I break it, I would be the highlight and I would face lots of problems later in my job. Luckily I have my own laptop and asked for permission if I can take it to my job. Permisson was granted and now I take my laptop every day to work and take it back when I'm off. I do have the courage to express my suggetion, but I have to be flexible, This is the typical chinese management.
By the way, you said you replied to me after you finished your work. If I don't get it wrong, it must be very late in California, right? Cause it's 10:40 AM in China now. Another funniest thing is I love wacthing American TV, like Prision Break, Desperate Housewives, ect. Every time I watch them I wonder how my dear friend, Anny, would be a funny life in US. Do you love watching TV also? I'm very appreciated if you can share me more about your life, like TV, sport and even your children's education.
Sincerely,
Rick
PS: Thanks again for your help of buying a computer for me from my button heart.There is a Chinese old saying, 海内存知己,天涯若比邻。The meaning is a bosom friend afar brings distance near.这个是灵格斯翻译的,呵呵!
jackeybingqi:还用奔腾4?
不过看那边的价钱比较便宜
Rick1985:二楼说不敢相信,呵呵,请看一下以前他发给我的邮件:
Hi Rick,
That is how life in US.We have vacation and we can plan our vacation as the way we want; however, we have to request for vacation ahead of time.I guest in China people get off during Chinese New Year and that is consider as vacation.
Once time I watch movie about life in China.Some parent have to go to work away from home and only able to come home during the New Year to see their kids.It really touch me deeply.Especially, for the family with kids about 5 to 12 years old.The kids cry when they see the parents and the parents cry when they see the kids.Yes, I can feel the pains which the kids have to take as the New Year over and the parents have to go to work again.It is so touching.I drop my tears when the parent unable to get the tickets for the train .这个也让我看得很感动!
Rick, when you have kids, I hope that your kid(s) will not face the situation like that.
Regarding the cube, yes, I am interesting in the black cube as well - it is simply because the black one is the standard one.However, if your company only have the white one then that is fine to me.If things work out great then we can talk about the black one. 我们就是做这个产品的,不知道大家看得出来是什么产品吗? Of course, when thing work out good then I would like to come and visit you and your family.
In addition, life in US is not that great, very personal.To be honest with you, I do not even know my next door neighbor name.Yes, living in US and willing to work hard you will have a future.How is your life in China? How is your family? I hope they all doing Ok.
You able to manage to learn English, I think that is great, Rick.I personally think that your future is very bright - whether you have it or not depend on you.If you able to manage well then I have no doubt in my mind that you will get some where.My basic principal of living is:I rather lose all the money then losing my reputation.If I do some thing damage my reputation once then most likely I will do it again.If I lose my reputation then I will have no chance in life as well as in business.What is your basic living principal, Rick?
Sincerely,
Andy.

他是在牙科诊所做营销经理,具体是什么工作我也没问过。
vivi706:
稍微有一点常识就知道他不是纯正的美国人好吧,“Andy Lee”。Lee 是中国的FAMILY NAME。
还有哦,在我印象中,你们关系应该是很不错了,他才会send money to you 的,而且你曾经不至一次像他发过牢骚,美国人的金钱观念还是比较强的,嘿嘿!
从你们双方的英文名字来看,两个都是男性哈,小心他是gay,o(∩_∩)o..
Rick1985:
哈哈,都让你猜中了,我们关系还好。我没有跟他发过牢骚,只是分享一下中美生活,文化的差别!一般就是谈生活,工作这样……
PS:他不是gay,已经是有孩子的父亲了!

Rick1985:
这个没有,好像他的这些华人英语也不太难理解吧。就是他问我新工作怎么样了,我说公司提供给我的电脑很差,一开机就差不多就要死机了,跟副总反映过又没解决过问题,想直接去找老总,问他有什么好的建议。然后他就说营销这一块在公司中是很重要的,如果我有什么经济上的困难,希望帮助我,西联汇款给我,给我买一台电脑。我说我已经跟公司协商过了,带了自己的笔记本来上班,谢谢他的好心!
bryan_sl:很多老外客户是很好的,虽然没见过面,他对你像真心朋友一样,我也有..
Rick1985:
不会是他吧?他之前跟朋友合伙做过生意被骗了,没跟我说过有出车祸这样的事,你这个客户是做什么生意的?
Rick1985:
没有啦,我跟他说我自己带笔记本来上班了!

Hi Rick,
Regarding about the computer - the company allow you to bring in your computer so that you improve your productivity, that is great."Flexibility" - this term involve in many aspect of life.Like "Water" in the river - it will find its way to get to the ocean.When the water in the river face the obstacles in its path, it will go around the obstacles and continue moving until it get to the ocean.In life there are many obstacles ahead of us and many time we have to be "Flexible" otherwise thing will get no where.I think you have make a very wise decision in resolving problem.I think this is one of the key qualities of a future success person.I truely believe that you have a very bright future ahead of you, Rick.
About TV, Sports . . . I am not interesting in those that much, Rick.Most of the time, my little 3 years old daughter have the ownership of the TV - When I get home from work, I have to take care of her.When I have free time, I like to learn about how to learn - I read book about "Quotations" . . . At this point I still try to improve my reading skills.It sounds funny but it is true.I also spend lot of time to prepare for next year..I try to look for ways to minimize efford to run my future on the side business - yes, the cube will be the first item.When I work, I also try to look for the weakness in term of management at my work place.I guest I am preparing myself for my next venture of my life and of course I would like you to be a part of my next venture.
Sincerely,
Andy.
PS.Most of people say that "Success" require "Luck"..However, what is the chance which "Luck" will come to you.If we actively look for "Luck" I think the chance of seeing "Luck" will be higher
