Good afternoon, Mr. Smith. Welcome to England. I'm Helen, Mr. Green's secretary. My boss<br />is in a meeting now, so he asked me to show you around the factory first.<br />Okay.<br />Now, this is our office block. All the departments are here. Sales, accounts, human resources,<br />market research, and so on.<br />What's that building across from us?<br />That's the storehouse. It's for storing larger pieces of medical equipment. And here is our new<br />production equipment. It was completed two months ago, and it has left us being able to double our<br />output.<br />I see. If I order X-ray equipment today, how long will I have to wait for it to reach Scotland?<br />Half a month, Mr. Smith.<br />Sounds good.<br />Good afternoon, Mr. Smith. Welcome to England.
