Mr. Li, thank you for your reception. The factory buildings are very imposing!

Not bad, hey! This is what we invested 80,000,000 in last year to build.
B: 你們的設備在國外也不多見。

Even overseas you don’t often see facilities like yours.
A: 我做事要麼不做，要做就一定要做到最好。我們
很早就通過ISO認證了。

I can do something or not–but if I’m going to do something, I will definitely do it the best. We’ve had ISO certification for a long time now.
B: 李總，你們這個廠是什麼時候創辦的?
Lˇı Zoˇng, nˇımen zhe`ge chaˇng sh`ı she´nme sh´ıho`u chua`ng- ba`n de?
Mr. Li, when was this factory established?
A: 十多年了。剛開始只有幾個人，現在我們可是國
內規模最大的工具生產商之一。

Over ten years ago. In the beginning there were only a few people. Now, however, we are one of the largest tool man- ufacturers in the country.
B: 真厲害。你們有多少員工？
zhe¯ n l`ıhai. nˇımen yoˇu duo¯ shao yua´ngo¯ ng?
Really amazing. How many employees do you have?
A: 三百多個。在你們加拿大，工廠可養不起那麼多人。

Over 300. In your country, Canada, a factory definitely would not be able to support that many people.
B: 沒錯。不過，我聽說現在聘用中國員工的成本也
高了。

You’re right. But, I’ve heard that the cost of employing la- borers in China is high now too.
A: 是啊，不過那些都是國家規定的員工福利。不理
它就行了。

Yeah! That’s all because of the labor benefits stipulated by the government. You just ignore them and then it’s fine.
B: 不會有問題嗎？

Won’t that cause problems?
A: 那我怎麼辦？按他們說的做，我早就關門了。
