新視野大學(xué)英語視聽說教程第三冊 Unit 5 Now Your Turn SAMPLE DIALOG

A: I hear that your corporation has considered acquiring a software development company for some time.

B: That’s quite true. What’s on your mind?

A: We’ve been looking for a merger partner. And we think our company would be a good match for you.

B: Definitely. We have a number of first-rate programmers (program writers\software engineers), and one of our software products is a hit.

A: Then why do you want a merger?

B: We can certainly survive on our own. The problem with us is that we don’t as many reliable sales outlets as you have. We hope your company can propel us to even greater heights.

A: As a matter of fact, we’ve already received a few attractive bids. So we have to be cautious in making a decision.

B: I hope you will find our company an all-around excellent match. The merger wil turn out to be a win-win (double-win\two-win) situation.

A: I think that might be, though we still have to discuss specifics.

B: Well, we of curse need to work out a scheme that is attractive for both parties.

A: True, we have to keep in mind the interests of the shareholders of both sides.

B: Good. That’s why they call you headhunters.
