相手の疑問に答える。
 
The meeting between Mr. Patel and Shoko is nearing its end.
Toward the conclusion, Mr. Patel poses a challenging question.

Listening point

What would Shoko do if her bank secured the lead manager position?

She would encourage Japanese banks to reassess their credit policies toward Indian companies. 

Business scene

I understand your strength in the loan market and your potential in trade finance and M&A.
But why should we choose a Japanese bank as a lead manager when there isn't much participation from Japanese banks?

That's a valid question.
We're looking beyond just this immediate opportunity.
If we're fortunate enough to sequre the lead manager postion this time, we'd be able to encourge Japanese banks to reassess their credit policies toward Indian companies.
That would pave the way for Japanese lenders to extend their credit lines to 5 years and beyond.

I see.
Now we understand your long-term view.
Tnaks for coming, Miss Suzutani.
We let you know the result of the tender next week.

Thank you, Mr. Patel.
I look forward to hearing the good news.
