W: Another cup of tea, Paul?
M: No, thanks. Well, what’s new, Laury?
W: Nothing dramatic. But there is something you should know about.
M: What’s that?
W: Well, our rivals are offering extended credit terms to some of the retailers in the area.
M: Oh? Which rival is this? We only have two.
W: Barratts Company.
M: Oh, them. Well, they are hardly a threat.
W: I know they are smaller than us, but we can’t afford to ignore them.
M: Yes, you are right, Laury. But I don’t like extended credit. It ties up cash we could put to better use elsewhere. But, I’ll look into it on Monday.
W: Yes. And there is something else.
M: Don’t tell me! The letter from the tax revenue office?
W: Right. How did you know?
M: Tara told me. What’s the problem?
W: Well. Tom got this letter late yesterday and then went frantic trying to find copies of last year’s accounts.
M: Did he find them?
W: No. And he was away before I could get hold of the letter.
M: How about a drive down to the office now? And we’ll see if everything’s all right. There’s another reason why I wanted a chat with you before Monday.
W: I thought as much. Well, go on, surprise me.
M: How about selling that new motorcycle of yours in Indonesia?
W: What? You mean export? Paul, I think you’ve been away too long. This is Jayal Motors. We’ve never sold a bike abroad.
M: Don’t worry, Laury. I’m not crazy. I’ve been studying the possibility and I think we should give it ago.
W: It’s not as easy as that though, is it? We’d have to reorganize the whole company.
M: Don’t be silly. I don’t intend starting next week. We’ll have to plan it properly. Of course, there will be a few problems...
W: A few problems? I can see hundreds. For one thing, transport. I have enough trouble delivering bikes to shops only 40 miles away, never mind 5,000 miles!
M: That’s what forwarding agents are for.
