Hello, everybody. We are here today to have a presentation rehearsal given by Mike.
2
00:00:09,300 --> 00:00:15,000
As the old saying goes, "If you fail to prepare, you are prepared to fail."
3
00:00:15,000 --> 00:00:19,500
Rehearse your presentation and it will get better. Come on, Mike!
4
00:00:19,500 --> 00:00:22,700
Thank you, Alexander. Good morning, everyone.
5
00:00:22,700 --> 00:00:27,300
Now let me begin.
6
00:00:27,300 --> 00:00:37,300
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to a brief introductory tour of our company, CIT — Carson International Trading Co., Ltd.
7
00:00:37,300 --> 00:00:42,200
My name is Mike, a senior representative from the company.
8
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:50,100
This is our headquarters located in the New World Business Building, here in Shanghai.
9
00:00:50,100 --> 00:00:53,750
Carson International, founded in 1985,
10
00:00:54,220 --> 00:00:59,720
has now grown into a global corporation incorporating 11 sub-companies
11
00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:09,290
with the number of employees worldwide growing from 860 in 2003 to 2,800 in 2013.
12
00:01:12,010 --> 00:01:18,710
Can you tell us something about your trade share in some of the big cities of China, including Shenzhen?
13
00:01:18,710 --> 00:01:21,910
That's a good question.
14
00:01:21,910 --> 00:01:28,410
Look at this pie chart and you'll see the percentage share in Shanghai and other cities in 2012.
15
00:01:28,410 --> 00:01:33,410
It accounts for 20% here in Shenzhen during the same year.
16
00:01:33,410 --> 00:01:36,710
What is your trade share worldwide?
17
00:01:36,710 --> 00:01:43,610
Our trade share covers most parts of the world and for more than a decade the lion's share of our business,
18
00:01:43,610 --> 00:01:46,710
as this graph shows, is in North America.
19
00:01:46,710 --> 00:01:50,310
Thank you Mike. Good job.
