我们是一家电视机制造厂。为扩大市场份额，我们厂决定安装新的生产线。最初打算和日本的厂商签合同，但日本的几家厂商报价很高。韩国的公司报价较低，但性能达不到要求。我们最后以较低价和法国厂商签了合同，并将某些零部件的生产分包给一家韩国公司。
新厂房2月8日破土，4月份完成地基。建厂房用了一年时间。
由于技术发展的速度很快，新的生产线投入使用后不久就发现已过时，因而我们的市场份额并未因此而扩大。

We are a TV manufacturer. Our factory decided to install a new production line in order to enlarge our market share. At first we planned to sign a contract with a Japanese company but were frustrated at their high quotation. Korean companies offered at lower prices but the performance of their equipment was not up to standard. In the end, we signed our contract with a French manufacturer at a lower price and subcontracted with a Korean company for some spare parts.
Excavation of the new plant started on February 8th and the foundations were done in April. It took a year to complete the plant. |
