Commercial Disc 2 (MC5) Internet information D: Deborah Cheetham speaking. J: Hello Deborah. Joanne here. Could we make an appointment? I’ve been surfing the net as you suggested, and I’ve found some quite interesting material on Wong Chei. When can I come round to show you? D: Ok, fine. Could you make it in, say, thirty minutes? I need to clear my desk and talk to one of our suppliers. That alright? J: Yes, that’s great. In the meantime I’ll make copies of what I’ve got. See you in half an hour then. D: Ok. See you then. Goodbye. J: Hello. D: Hello Joanne. Come in. Take a seat. Now, what have you got? J: Well, it may not look very much, but it could be interesting. These files show the kind of information Shanghai University have collected. D: This looks very like the company data we get from our own Chamber of Commerce. J: Yes, that’s right. For example, there’s a list of small enterprises which only trade locally, as well as this one which shows companies with exporting interests. D: This is excellent, Joanne. Do you think we can find Wong Chei in these lists? It’d be very useful to know as much as possible: staffing, turnover, major clients and so on. J: I think it’s all there. Look, here’s Wong Chei, in the list of medium sized enterprises. By Chinese standards that means below a thousand employees. Quite small really. D: Do you have anything on their overseas business? J: Yes. According to this list, their exports to Japan and Australia have increased dramatically over the past six month, so has their turnover. D: This is really very good, Joanne. Let’s both consider this for a while and meet again at around three o’clock this afternoon to discuss it further. (MC6) The payslip J: Excuse me, Deborah. Have you got a minute? D: But of course, Joanna. How can I help? J: I’m not very clear about some items on my payslip. I wonder if you could explain then to me. D: Well, now let me take it from the top. You know what a payslip is, of course. J: Yes, it’s a document
