| A | 进来。 |
| jìnlái. |
| Come in. |
|
|
| B | 王总，您现在有空吗？ |
| Wáng Zǒng, nín xiànzài yǒukòng ma? |
| Manager Wang, do you have a moment? |
|
|
| A | 说吧。 |
| shuō ba. |
| Please. |
|
|
| B | 我仔细看了公司近几个月的财务报表，公司一直在亏损。 |
| wǒ zǐxì kàn le gōngsī jìn jǐ ge yuè de cáiwù bàobiǎo, gōngsī yīzhí zài kuīsǔn. |
| I've gone over the last few years of the company's financial statements. The company's consistently losing money. |
|
|
| A | 是啊，现在生意很不好做。这个我心里有数。 |
| shì a, xiànzài shēngyi hěnbù hǎo zuò. zhè ge wǒ xīnliyǒushù. |
| Yes...these are tough times. I already had a basic idea. |
|
|
| B | 其实我们的收入还可以，但是营运成本实在太高了。特别是差旅、招待和房租这几项花费，占了总支出的三分之二。 |
| qíshí wǒmen de shōurù hái kěyǐ, dànshì yíngyùnchéngběn shízài tài gāo le. tèbié shì chāilǚ, zhāodài hé fángzū zhè jǐ xiàng huāfèi, zhàn le zǒng zhīchū de sānfēnzhīèr. |
| Our revenue is OK, but our operating expenses are really just too high. Especially for business trips, taking care of guests and accommodation. They make up two thirds of our total expenditures! |
|
|
| A | 这些都是该花的钱，省不了。 |
| zhèxiē dōu shì gāi huā de qián, shěngbùliǎo . |
| This is money we have to spend. There's no way to cut it. |
|
|
| B | 可是，王总，我怕公司撑不下去。您别介意我说啊，其实这些都不是创造主要利润的花费，应该可以削减一点。 |
| kěshì, Wáng Zǒng, wǒ pà gōngsī chēng bù xiàqu. nín bié jièyì wǒ shuō ā, qíshí zhèxiē dōu bù shì chuàngzào zhǔyào lìrùn de huāfèi, yīnggāi kěyǐ xuējiǎn yīdiǎn. |
| But, Manager Wang, I'm afraid the company can't keep this up. If you don't mind me saying this, these expenses are not key to creating profits. We should be able to cut them. |
|
|
| A | 想赚钱就要舍得花钱。特别是我们这一行，人脉很重要，有很多关系需要打点。 |
| xiǎng zhuànqián jiùyào shěde huāqián. tèbié shì wǒmen zhè yī háng, rén mài hěn zhòngyào, yǒu hěn duō guānxi xūyào dǎdian. |
| If you want to make money, you have to be willing to spend money. Especially in our industry, personal connections are really important. We have to build relationships. |
|
|
| B | 我知道，我只是觉得应该把钱花在刀刃上。毕竟公司的财务状况不允许我们再大手大脚了。 |
| wǒ zhīdào, wǒ zhǐshì juéde yīnggāi bǎ qián huā zài dāorèn shàng. bìjìng gōngsī de cáiwù zhuàngkuàng bù yǔnxǔ wǒmen zài dàshǒudàjiǎ le. |
| I understand. I just think we should spend money in where it counts. After all, the company's financial situation really doesn't allow us to throw money around anymore. |
|
|
| A | 小赵，你做好自己分内的事就行了。公司的大局我会把握。 |
| Xiǎo Zhào, nǐ zuò hǎo zìjǐ fènnèi de shì jiù xíng le. gōngsī de dàjú wǒ huì bǎwò. |
| It'll be fine if you just take care of your own stuff, Xiao Zhao. I've got a handle on the big picture for the company. |
|
|
| B | 好，我知道了。 |
| hǎo, wǒ zhīdao le. |
| OK, I see. |
|
|
| A | 喂，我们的事情，怕是纸包不住火啊！ |
| wèi, wǒmen de shìqing, pà shì zhǐbāobùzhùhuǒ ā! |
| Hello...something's come up. I'm afraid we can't keep it under wraps! |
|
|
| C | 什么状况？ |
| shénme zhuàngkuàng? |
| What is it? |
|
|
| A | 公司的会计开始怀疑了。 |
| gōngsī de kuàijì kāishǐ huáiyí le. |
| The company's accountant is starting to suspect something. |
|
|
| C | 一个小会计，你怕什么？搞定他还不容易？你自己看着办吧。 |
| yī ge xiǎo kuàijì, nǐ pà shénme? gǎodìng tā hái bù róngyì? nǐzìjǐ kànzhe bàn ba. |
| A little accountant. What are you afraid of? Taking care of him is no big deal, right? You figure it out yourself. |
|
|
| A | 好，我明白了。 |
| hǎo, wǒ míngbái le. |
| OK, I understand. |
