@ 41137 Opening a Factory
A 今天就到這裡，散會！小董，你留一下。
jīntiān jiù dào zhèlǐ, sànhuì! Xiǎo Dǒng, nǐ liú yīxià .
That's it for today. Meeting dismissed. Xiao Dong, please stay for a bit.
B 葉總，有什麼事吩咐嗎？
Yè Zǒng, yǒu shénme shì fēnfù ma?
Manager Ye, do you have any instructions for me?
A 新工廠的事怎麼樣了？
xīn gōngchǎng de shì zěnmeyàng le?
What's going on with the new factory?
B 幾處位置，我都做了實地考察，各有利弊。洋山深水港科技園是保稅港，地理位置好，而且對高科技產業有政策支持。不過周邊行業配套還不健全，我們的生產成本會很高。
jǐ chù wèizhi, wǒ dōu zuò le shídì kǎochá, gè yǒu lìbì. Yángshān shēnshuǐgǎng kējìyuán shì bǎoshuì gǎng, dìlǐ wèizhì hǎo, érqiě duì gāokējì chǎnyè yǒu zhèngcè zhīchí. bùguò zhōubiān hángyè pèitào hái bù jiànquán, wǒmen de shēngchǎn chéngběn huì hěn gāo.
I've done on-the-spot inspections of a couple of locations. Each has advantages and disadvantages. The Yangshan Deep-water Harbor Technology Park is a bonded port. Its geographic location is good, and it has policies that support the hi-tech industry. But the nearby infrastructure isn't really complete. Our production costs will be really high.
A 嗯，生產成本一定要控制好。
ng4, shēngchǎn chéngběn yīdìng yào kòngzhì hǎo.
Hmm...we definitely need to control the cost of production.
B 我還調查了江蘇的工業園區。那裡的優勢是太陽能產業比較成熟，可以給我們節省不少生產成本。
wǒ hái diàochá le Jiāngsū de gōngyè yuánqū. nàlǐ de yōushì shì tàiyángnéng chǎnyè bǐjiào chéngshú, kěyǐ gěi wǒmen jiéshěng bùshǎo shēngchǎn chéngběn.
I also investigated the Industrial Zone in Jiangsu. The advantage of that place is that the solar energy industry is pretty mature there. It could allow us to save quite a bit of capital.
A 不過我還是比較偏向保稅港。很多國際知名廠商都打算在那兒落戶，對公司形象和檔次的提升很有幫助。
bùguò wǒ háishì bǐjiào piānxiàng bǎoshuì gǎng. hěn duō guójì zhīmíng chǎngshāng dōu dǎsuàn zài nàr luòhù, duì gōngsī xíngxiàng hé dàngcì de tíshēng hěn yǒu bāngzhù.
But I'm still leaning toward the bonded port. A lot of famous international firms are planning to set up there. It will do a lot to improve the company's image and status.
B 這是肯定的！而且那邊管理處的服務意識很好，給我們介紹了很多優惠政策和配套服務。相反，江蘇的工業園區一去就問我們出資多少。感覺不太好。
zhè shì kěndìng de! érqiě nàbiān guǎnlǐchù de fúwù yìshi hěn hǎo, gěi wǒmen jièshào le hěn duō yōuhuì zhèngcè hé pèitào fúwù. xiāngfǎn, Jiāngsū de gōngyè yuánqū yī qù jiù wèn wǒmen chūzī duōshao. gǎnjué bù tài hǎo.
That's for sure! And the administration's sense of service is very good. They told us about a lot of preferential policies and accompanying services. On the other hand, the Jiangsu Industrial Zone just asked us how much we were investing. It didn't give me a great feeling.
A 我心裡有數了。你接下來就和深水港談吧，要儘可能利用一切優惠條件。
wǒ xīnlǐyǒushù le. nǐ jiē xiàlái jiù hé shēnshuǐgǎng tán ba, yào jìn kěnéng lìyòng yīqiè yōuhuì tiáojiàn.
I see how it is. Next, talk things over with the bonded port. As much as possible, we want to make use of its favorable conditions.
B 好！如果葉總和董事會有了決定，後邊的事情無非就是辦理各種手續。向各個部門遞交申請，等他們審批。這些具體的事情，交給我就行了。
hǎo! rúguǒ Yè Zǒng hé dǒngshìhuì yǒu le juédìng, hòubiān de shìqing wúfēi jiùshì bànlǐ gèzhǒng shǒuxù. xiàng gègè bùmén dìjiāo shēnqǐng, děng tāmen shěnpī. zhèxiē jùtǐ de shìqing, jiāo gěi wǒ jiù xíng le.
OK. If Manager Ye and the board of directors have made a decision, all we have to do is take care of all kinds of procedures. We have to send applications to each department, and wait for their examination and approval. I'll take care of these concrete issues.
A 小董，越來越幹練了！新工廠還缺一個關鍵人物，我會向董事會極力推薦你的。
Xiǎo Dǒng, yuèláiyuè gànliàn le ! xīn gōngchǎng hái quē yī ge guānjiàn rénwù, wǒ huì xiàng dǒngshìhuì jílì tuījiàn nǐ de.
You're getting better at this all the time, Xiao Dong! The new factory still needs a key person. I'll recommend you to the board of directors with my highest regards.
B 全靠葉總多年的栽培！我還要多向您學習！
quán kào Yè Zǒng duōnián de zāipéi! wǒ hái yào duō xiàng nín xuéxí!
This is all thanks to the years of care and training you gave me! I still need to keep learning from you!
A 好！你忙去吧！
hǎo! nǐ máng qù ba!
Good! Get to work!
