JOHN: So it looks like we start selling in the U.S. next year.
CAROL: Did Mr. Lin put you in charge of marketing?
JOHN: He s still not sure whether he wants to put me in charge,
or whether he wants to hire an American.
But even if he hires an American, I ll probably be transferred to our American office.
CAROL: Where will it be?
JOHN: We aren t sure yet. Maybe L.A. I think L.A. would be the best idea.
CAROL: Is it because of trade negotiations that we can start selling in the U.S.?
JOHN: Yes, the recent agreements between the two governments have changed everything.
Now we have the right to sell in America at a much lower tariff.
It s going to be good. We can compete more directly with them.
CAROL: Great.
JOHN: Our computers have a high level of quality now.
We can demonstrate it. And our prices will be good.
So I think it will really be worthwhile.
CAROL: You seem excited about it.
JOHN: Well, you know I studied marketing in America.
So maybe the thought of going back there to promote our brand is kind of exciting to me.
I d love to be part of the team.
CAROL: Do you honestly think we can compete though? All the computer giants are there.
JOHN: Yes, I do. I think we can compete. I think we can make a name for ourselves.
It will be hard at first. But if we develop a good advertising campaign,
I think we can break into the market.
CAROL: The company will have to choose a good advertising firm.
And then there s the problem of quality.
How do we convince American buyers that our quality is good?
JOHN: It takes some time.
Because even if the quality is high,
people won t accept a high tech product unless they recognize the name.
Name recognition is crucial.
CAROL: Well, I hope it all works out, John.
I think if you re part of the team, things will go well.
But you know we d all miss you here. So I won’t say I m happy to think that you’re leaving.
JOHN: That s very nice of you to say.
But if we set up an office there in the States, maybe you could try to become part of it.
CAROL: Me? No way.
I m dedicated to the company, but I’m not going to leave Taiwan. I m happy here.
