　　AA1：一家做鋼琴的公司，專注于做高品質(zhì)的鋼琴，收入下降了，另外一家公司生產(chǎn)了digital piano，便宜，收入上升了，因此本公司要增加收入的話，就要開始生產(chǎn)各個價錢的digital piano.

　　就是那個鋼琴的題，說L公司的director說自己公司的handcrafted鋼琴最近銷售下滑，但是A公司的digital鋼琴銷售很好，所以要引入digital鋼琴的生產(chǎn)線，這樣就可以提高自己的sales(我很確認是sales，而不是以前有人說的profits，所以具體是什么大家自己看清楚咯)，可以使自己outsell A公司，同時因為他們公司在handcrafted鋼琴上積累的好名聲，一旦他們生產(chǎn)digital鋼琴，消費者會馬上認同它們的產(chǎn)品。

　　AA1：說mr. p在大學開了個賣pizza(?)的餐館賺錢了，然后想再開3個分店，給他3個助手分別去經(jīng)營，這樣他預(yù)計可以有3倍的利潤。

　　AA2：基金里面關(guān)于酒廠的那個，基本上差不多，就再補充點點，the arguer最后說如果他們公司實行這個plan的話，他們酒廠就可以在三年后變成beer market里的老大

　　AA3：The following appeared as part of a memorandum from the loan department of the Frostbite National Bank.

　　“We should not approve the business loan application of the local group that wants to open a franchise outlet for the Kool Kone chain of ice cream parlors. Frostbite is known for its cold winters, and cold weather can mean slow ice cream sales. For example, even though Frostbite is a town of 10,000 people, it has only one ice cream spot — the Frigid Cow. Despite the lack of competition, the Frigid Cow’s net revenues fell by 10 percent last winter.”
