Ms. Windsor: Hello, everyone. I'm Alice Windsor.
Mr.Black: Hello, everyone. I'm Wilson Black. We are so happy to visit your company.
Mr.Li: Welcome to our company. First, I'll briefly introduce our company. In my presentation, I aim to do three things. First, I run briefly through the history of the company. Then I will tell you the main markets and product ranges and finally I will be glad to answer any questions at the end of my talk. (Turning on the slide.)
Mr.Li: To begin with, New Century Company was founded in 1992. In the establishment period, there were only 20 members, mainly managers and several workers. As is shown by this chart, the number of our employees has reached 500. In the past decade, many new departments were built. By now, we have sales department, purchasing department, product design department, quality control department, logistics department, and store department. Our main products include car cushions, steering wheel covers, car covers, sunshades, car mats, alarm systems, etc. We also have different new series of products. Our products have won high fame in Asia, the USA, the EU, and other international markets. We also provide fully-tailored service for all products. This is one of the programs called “Design-a-Mat”, which supplies specialist markets. It is estimated that over 1,000,000 units will be sold in the Asian Market this year. So, that is our general introduction. Do you have any questions?
