•You will hear five different business people talking about how they started their businesses and how they are running their businesses now.
•For each extract there are two tasks. For Task One, choose the type of business from the list A-H. For Task Two, choose the source of funding for the business from the list A-H.
•After you have listened once, replay the recording.
Speaker One
Man: Three months after I joined SMU Company Ltd, I had the idea to start my own business.
The company provided service to put one language into another. The commission was really attractive. As I majored in international business and had worked in the UK for three years, I had many friends in companies. So, I left that company and was preparing to start my business. Actually I did not invest any money in it. I just cooperated with a big company which provided that kind of service I did the business under that company’s name. That company obtained 10% commission for each of my transactions. For example, when I got an order from Company A to put the documents into Japanese, I charged Company A 10,000 yuan. Then my business partner got 1,000 yuan from me.
Speaker Two
Woman: I used to be a well-known professor in a university, teaching international marketing. When I was 52 years old, I changed my role. I stopped teaching and started a company of my own. But at the very beginning, I badly needed money to apply for founding a company. That was a very big sum for me at that time: 50,000 yuan. I withdrew all my bank deposit and asked my uncles and brothers to lend me some money. After one month’s hard work, I founded my small business on Dec. 8th, 1995. With the rest of the money, I started to buy some construction materials in small quantity. Sometimes I obtained the materials just on credit. After I had sold out those materials, I paid my suppliers. Now my company has a registered capital of US $ 2.5m with 28 outlets throughout China.
Speaker Three
Man: About fifteen years ago, after I retired from a key university, I helped some good friends’ children with their English. With my help, their English improved greatly. One of my good friends advised me t0 have more students. I followed his advice. As my students made great progress in English, I became more and more famous. Then I rent a large flat as a classroom where students from high schools, universities, and from companies came to learn English in the evenings or at weekends. Some years ago, a successful businessman sent his child to my class to learn English. Finding my business was so prosperous, he invited me to start an evening school. But I suggested that we should start a full-time school. He adopted my suggestion. I invested my know-bow and he invested money in establishing the school. Now the school has grown into a large-scale college which chiefly enrolls full-time students as well as evening school students.
Speaker Four
Woman: It is true that a bad thing may turn into a good consequence. Some years ago, I made a serious mistake in my work. So I had to resign the important position in the government ministry. To make a living, I planned to start a real estate agency, as I found it would be a promising business. But money was a big problem. I lacked the fund to start the business. At least I had to have enough money to rent a house as my office. With some good friends’ help and with the money I borrowed from a bank, I had my real estate agency opened soon. Just as I had expected before, the market became better and better. Now I have 28 branches in this city and quite a number of outlets in some other big cities.
Speaker Five
Man: More and more young people are interested in MBA and other business courses. This is because China is in need of more people involved in business. Courses are a real promising industry. Accordingly, textbooks are needed for those courses. Just think about the MBA programs in most of China’s universities. I supposed that it was a very good market. I told the idea to my friends. They all thought it was a good idea. But when I turned to them for financial help, they suddenly became poor, even poorer than I. Then I really understood the implication of the saying "A friend in need is a friend indeed" I had no way out. I decided to put my flat on the market, and invest the money that I got from that in the business. I was gambling in a way. I would be either wealthy or finished up. But it’s worked, it’s really paid off. I am considering opening more branches in the places where there are numberless schools.
