选项
答案A: As you know, our company is considering setting up a new branch company in Shanghai. And I’m honoured to have the opportunity to work with you to prepare a plan for it. B: The pleasure is mine. I’ve heard about you long before and I know you are very experienced in marketing and management. Do you think it is the right time for us to set up a new branch company in Shanghai? A: Well, I think the time is perfect. Our company has been growing rapidly in the past several years. With the business expansion, we need to set up branch companies to meet the growing volume of business. Shanghai should be the ideal city for our first branch company. You know, the city has just held the Expo 2010 successfully, and it’s a famous international metropolis, second only to Beijing. In addition, Shanghai is also the financial centre of China as well as a port city, where many big banks and companies gather around. B: Yeah, Shanghai is dynamic and full of opportunities and challenges. However, the competition is also fierce. Don’t you think it is a bit risky to throw a huge amount of money on a branch company right now? After all, the cost in Shanghai is much higher than that of other cities in China. Maybe we should be cautious and steady. Step by Step. A: It’s the right time. You know, high investment makes high return. And the company has invited a professional institution to make the risk assessment and after all the evaluation, our company considers it a wise move. B: OK, it’s not our job to decide the feasibility of setting up a branch company in Shanghai. I just hope it will boost our business further. And hopefully one day we could get in The World Top 500 Enterprises. A: Nothing is impossible. B: Well, let’s have a look at the practical arrangements the company needs to make. First of all, I think we should find a good office location. As our company has a lot of business visits, the office should be conveniently situated with sufficient parking space. A: Yeah, we also have to set up a leading group to begin the work in Shanghai. They are the advance force and responsible for the formation of the branch company. The main members of this group should be assigned from our company, the parent company, and other members can be selected from Shanghai because the locals are more familiar with how to get things done there. B: Definitely. I would suggest that here we set up a command centre as well, collaborating with Shanghai part, because they need a lot of support. Therefore, we should have a special department assisting them. A: I agree.
