公司问题(23)歌词 歌手英语听力-专辑BEC中级-单曲《公司问题(23)》LRC歌词下载

[00:00.000]I really think we should close it down as soon as possible and liquidise our assets. [00:05.952]It's on a prime site, which would be worth a lot to developers. [00:09.457]I don't even think it's worth trying to sell it [00:11.897]as a going concern to one of our competitors. [00:14.643]Isn't that rather short-sighted? [00:16.407]The same thing's happening everywhere. [00:18.649]It's always the service industries which are hit first when people are worried about job security. [00:23.652]And before you say that the centres are looking outdated [00:26.905]and that consumer tastes and fashions have changed, [00:29.908]I've done my homework [00:31.398]and the consumer surveys show that people would still come if they had the money. [00:35.651]That's not the only reason, James. [00:37.899]And the bottom line is, the Board are pushing me to improve figures now. [00:43.902]We're falling behind the competition, [00:45.400]and if we keep Nottingham open, we'll need a major change in our image. [00:49.653]A good advertising campaign might bring in more customers while we're running it, [00:54.156]but at best it'd just be a short-term solution. [00:57.646]I don't agree with you, Sophie. However, I've got another idea. [01:01.404]Why don't we run the centre with minimum staff, no more expensive recruiting, [01:06.890]and think about closing during the quiet times of day until the situation improves? [01:11.649]We could go on with the special offers we're running, [01:14.148]because they bring in a few new customers, [01:15.898]and don't cost us anything.
