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.
约翰:看起来我们明年要开始往美国销售。
卡萝:林先生有让你负责销售吗?
约翰:他还没有确定要让我负责
或是他想请一个美国人。
但即使他请了一个美国人,我大概还是会被调到我们在美国的办公室。
卡萝:会在哪里?
约翰:我们还不确定,可能在洛杉矶。我认为洛杉矶会是最好的想法。
卡萝:是因为商业会谈决议让我们可以开始往美国销售吗?
约翰:是的,双方政府之间的协议改变了所有的现况。
现在我们销售到美国的关税已经减低。
这样就好了,我们可以更直接地来竞争了。
卡萝:太好了。
约翰:现在我们的计算机是有高水准的品质。
我们可以参展,我们的价格会很好。
所以我认为这是值得做的。
卡萝:你看起来蛮兴奋的。
约翰:嗯,你知道我在美国念营销。
所以回到那里展出我们的产品对我来说是很兴奋的。
我很高兴能够成为这个队上的一员。
卡萝:老实说你真认为我们能竞争吗?有名气的计算机公司都在那里。
约翰:是的,我认为我们能竞争。我认为我们可以成名。
在开始的时候会比较难,但如果我们能够运用好的广告来造势的话,
我认为我们可以进入这个市场。
卡萝:公司会选一个不错的广告公司。
再来就是品质上的问题。
我们要如何让美国的买主确信我们的品质是好的?
约翰:这是要花点时间的。
因为即使品质是很高
除非他们记得那个品牌,否则大众不会接受高科技的产品。
品牌的确是很重要的。
卡萝:嗯,我希望这是可行的,约翰。
我认为如果你能在这个队上的话,就没有问题。
但你知道我们都很想念你,所以对于你的离开,我不会高兴的。
约翰:很感谢你那么说。
但是我们能在美国有一间办公室,或许你也可以成为一份子。
卡萝:我?不可能。
我的人奉献给公司,但我是不会离开台湾的。我在这儿很快乐。
