Speaker 0: So it looks like we start selling in the U . S . next year . Speaker 1: Did Mr . Lin put you in charge of marketing ? Speaker 0: He's still not sure whether he wants to put me in charge , or whether he wants to hire an American.But even if he hires an American , I'll probably be transferred to our American office . Speaker 1: Where will it be ? Speaker 0: We aren't sure yet . Maybe L . A . I think L . A . would be the best idea . Speaker 1: Is it because of trade negotiations that we can start selling in the U . S . ? Speaker 0: Yes , the recent agreements between the two governments have changed everything.Now we have the right to sell in America at a much lower tariff.It ' s going to be good . We can compete more directly with them . Speaker 1: Great . Speaker 0: Our computers have a high level of quality now.We can demonstrate it . And our prices will be good.So I think it will really be worthwhile . Speaker 1: You seem excited about it . Speaker 0: Well , you know I studied marketing in America.So maybe the thought of going back there to promote our brand is kind of exciting to me . I'd love to be part of the team . Speaker 1: Do you honestly think we can compete though ? All the computer giants are there . Speaker 0:
Yes , I do . I think we can compete . I think we can make a name for ourselves.It will be hard at first . But if we develop a good advertising campaign , I think we can break into the market .
