FY2024 ラジオビジネス英語Lesson（５８）

Theme

Mr. Naka, Helen, and Arun are each narrowing down potential targets from the new prospects list for the respective offices.

Listening point
How many target companies do they select in total from the list?

The answer is:
They select six companies.

Business scene

Could you please select three companies from your target and rank them?
Shall we start with Helen?

Sure.
Let me check.
For the Hong Kong office, the top priority is No.7, followed by No.3, and probably No.4.
So, two Chinese companies, and one American company.

Okay.
How about the Bangkok office, Arun?

It's pretty straightforward.
No.9, No.1, and No.6.
A Taiwanese, a German, and a Chinese company.

Thank you both.
The companies you've chosen are in sync with my thoughts.
Six target companies should be sufficient for the first stage.
Before we delve into proposals for each firm, do you have any questions or concerns on your end?
