[00:08.15]Part A Directions:

[00:11.81]you'll hear a conversation in which Mrs.Long and Dr.Ross

[00:17.76]are negotiating an electric project.

[00:22.02]Listen to it and

[00:24.97]fill out the table with the information you've heard the Questions1-5

[00:30.93]Some of the information has been given to you in the table.

[00:35.68]Write only 1 word or number in each numbered box.

[00:40.96]You now have 25 seconds to read the table below.

[00:46.71]W:Now,Mr.Ross,we were talking

[00:52.32]last time we met about your ideas about this electronics project.

[00:58.20]M:Well,it's rather a simple project.

[01:02.46]It would consist of only one production line at the beginning,

[01:07.71]but we could expand it in time,of course.

[01:12.25]W:How much of a financial outlay 1?

[01:16.23]M:Including loans?

[01:19.78]I'd say in the area of 1 million US dollars.  W:I see.

[01:25.52]M:How much would China be prepared to invest in this kind of a

[01:30.70]project if we went ahead,that is

[01:34.77]W:As a general practice,we lay out about 51% of the total investment.

[01:41.83]This includes,of course,cash,factory

[01:45.77]buildings,the right to use the site,things like that.

[01:50.52]M:I suppose we would be responsible for the machinery 2 and other capital equipment

[01:57.29]How does one arrive at the true value of the factory buildings?

[02:02.85]W:Good question.We ascertain 3 such matters through joint 4 assessment 5.

[02:08.81]Together we get an impartial 6 assessment of property value.

[02:14.06]M:Is there any regulation regarding the foreign

[02:18.71]party's share in the registered capital?

[02:22.79]W:Generally not less than 25%.

[02:27.36]The rest can be obtained through bank loans.

[02:32.22]M:That seems reasonable.

[02:35.45]Now,let's talk again about the time frame.

[02:40.21]How long does the venture run?

[02:43.76]W:How long do you want?

[02:46.92]M:As it's a small venture,I would suggest 10 years to start with.

[02:53.19]W:The contract could be extended if both sides agreed.

[02:58.65]M:How long do the Board members serve?

[03:03.01]W:Four years.

[03:06.28]M:The chairman is the legal representative

[03:10.93]W:Yes.A management office would be established and would be

[03:16.28]responsible for the day-to-day running of the joint venture.

[03:21.14]So far as the management is concerned,you might

[03:25.40]appoint the manager and the chief engineer of the project,

[03:30.44]and we might appoint their deputies.

[03:34.60]M:The workers would all be Chinese,I presume?   W:Oh,yes.
