00:00:08,600 --> 00:00:10,800
Hey, Robert!
2
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:19,500
Hi, Lawrence! Fancy meeting you here! It's been a long time since I last saw you. What have you been up to these days?
3
00:00:19,500 --> 00:00:26,200
You know, my company is engaged in import and export of commodities, so I am really busy at the moment.
4
00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:27,600
Too busy to play basketball?
5
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:34,300
Exactly. I have to spend a lot of time on the weekends surfing the internet to search for relevant information.
6
00:00:34,300 --> 00:00:37,600
The job is is pretty demanding and I have to learn a lot.
7
00:00:37,600 --> 00:00:41,000
I can imagine that. So, what is your typical workday like?
8
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:48,600
Generally, I get up at 6:00 for breakfast, then hurry to catch the bus and change to the subway train.
9
00:00:48,600 --> 00:00:54,600
I usually arrive at the office at 8:45. The first thing I do is check my e-mails.
10
00:00:54,600 --> 00:00:59,300
Then, I contact the Customer Service Department for relevant information.
11
00:00:59,300 --> 00:01:05,600
After that, I look for potential customers from various channels and prepare reports for my superior.
12
00:01:05,600 --> 00:01:11,200
Sometimes, I pay visits to customers with my colleagues.
13
00:01:11,200 --> 00:01:18,000
We have a regular meeting every day to find solutions to problems and ways to exploit new markets.
14
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:23,100
I like brainstorming within the department and during coffee breaks.
15
00:01:23,100 --> 00:01:28,200
Oh, my God! It sounds like a real grind, all work and no play.
16
00:01:28,200 --> 00:01:34,000
But I don't think I'm a drudge. I'm making progress every day, and it's fun to communicate with people.
17
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:37,300
And I'm also trying to chill out. So here I am.
18
00:01:37,300 --> 00:01:41,700
Ah, it's good to have you back. Sports can help you relax and take your mind off work.
19
00:01:41,700 --> 00:01:44,700
You're right. Well then, let's play together.
