商务英语口语对话1:股东大会（上） A: how often are stockholders meetings held? B: stockholders meetings are held biannually. Usually the meetings are scheduled for spring and fall. In between the meertings, each stockholder receives biannual reports. Financial statements are made once a year. A: what percentage of the stockholders actually attend the meetings? Im guessing not a large percentage... B: youre right, its a low percentage. Also, in order to attend meetings, you have to hold a certain amount of shares. Its quite a large number, so most of the stockers are excluded from proceedings. A: so, how much say do the stockholders really have?

They own the capital in our company, so they should have say about what is done with the company. A: I guess Id buy that... 上次会议,股东们一致投票阻挠我们公司与布莱考公司的合并.但所有的执行委员会成员都赞成合并.我不明白股东怎么会有那么大的全力阻碍计划的实施. 如果他们在某一问题上团结一致,那股东们就有最终的决定权.你会认为有决定权的可能是我们的执行总裁或者工人,可事实是股东控制着钱,所以他们的权利最大. 真的就那么简单吗?好像这样管理效率不会很高... 这也许不是最有效的办法,但是仔细想想,也很有道理.毕竟股东是我们的投资方,他们拥有公司的资本,所以他们应该对公司的决策有发言权. 我看我得承认是这么回事. 商务英语口语对话3:Board of directors 董事会 A: so tell me, whats t
