Arranging further contacts with a company

Mr Calder Thank you very much for your help this morning, Mr Wallace. I think we’ve made a lot of progress on the matter of financing the deal.
Mr Wallace Yes, I agree. It’s been useful to clear the air after the initial difficulties we experienced. Presumably, this will not be our last meeting as we must await the final decision and then act quickly.
Mr Calder Indeed. Do you know when we’ll know the final decision?
Mr Wallace I’ve been promised an answer by the end of June, so if we say early July there will still be a couple of weeks before we close for the summer vacation.
Mr Calder Fine. How about Monday the 3rd?
Mr Wallace I can’t make the morning, but I shall be free all afternoon. More importantly, the main people involved will be able to work on the final proposals that week. If we need to develop our plans further, bringing in other companies or arranging further contacts, there should be time enough to do that.
Mr Calder Shall we say 2 p.m. here? In the meantime we can still explore the possibilities or value of involving other parties both within and outside our companies.
Mr Wallace Very well. I’ll get that organized. I’ll give you a ring by the 14th to confirm everything we might know in the meantime.
Mr Calder Right. Thanks again…. Can I get to the carpark by going straight down in the elevator?
Mr Wallace Yes. First floor, first door on the left. See you in July if not before.

Ulteriori contatti con un’impresa

Sig. Conti Grazie del suo aiuto stamattina, signor Valdese. Mi sembra che abbiamo fatto grandi progressi per quanto riguarda1 il finanziamento del progetto.
Sig. Valdese Sì, son2 d’accordo. È stato utile chiarire la situazione dopo le difficultà iniziali che abbiamo incontrato. Presumibilmente non sarà la nostra ultima riunione in quanto dovremo attendere la decisione finale e poi agire subito opportunamente.
Sig. Conti È vero. Sa quando sapremo la decisione finale?
Sig. Valdese M’hanno promesso una risposta entro la fine di giugno; perciò, dall’inizio di luglio, avremo una o due settimane prima della chiusura per le ferie estive.3
Sig. Conti Cosa ne pensa di lunedi 3 luglio?
Sig. Valdese Di mattina ho impegni,4 ma sarò libero tutto il pomeriggio. Quello che conta di più è che le persone principali interessate potranno lavorare sulle proposte finali in quella settimana. Se sarà necessario ampliare i nostri programmi, con l’inclusione di altre aziende o fissando ulteriori contatti, dovremmo avere abbastanza tempo per farlo.
Sig. Conti Diciamo alle 14 allora? Nel frattempo possiamo sempre esaminare se è possibile o se vale la pena includere terzi sia all’interno che all’esterno delle nostre aziende.
Sig. Valdese Va bene. Organizzerò io la riunione. La chiamerò prima del 14 di questo mese per confermarle quanto avremo appreso nel frattempo.
Sig. Conti Sì, d’accordo…. Posso arrivare al parcheggio se scendo direttamente con l’ascensore?
Sig. Valdese Pianterreno, prima porta a sinistra. Arrivederla a luglio, se non prima.

Presenting a proposal

Helen Morning John. Do come in and take a seat.
John Morning Helen. Thanks.
Helen You wanted to see me about our new product launch?
John Yes, I think we should try to bring it forward to December.
Helen That might be a bit tight. Any particular reason?
John Well, we’d catch the important Christmas business, and we’d be ahead of the opposition.
Helen I’m not sure our production people could handle it.
John Not a major problem. Our plant in Wellington can take on more of the production. We have spare capacity there.
Helen Have you discussed this with your people there?
John Yes, and they’re convinced they can deal with it.
Helen We can’t risk any slip-up on this—the launch is very important. And what about the advertising schedule?
John It’s all settled. The advertising copy is virtually ready. The ads could be ...
