Bizmates初級ビジネス英会話 Point 24 "in bulk"
Transcription
Hello and welcome to this Bizmates for beginners video series for Japanese businesspeople. And today's word is in bulk. In bulk. What does this mean? Well we will find out. But first let's do our test. OK so let's imagine that we are co-workers. And I say, what happened to Danny in IT? Where is he? We had to let him go. That's right. Not fired, but we say we had to let him go. OK I hope you got that. OK let’s go on to today's word in bulk. OK what does this mean? Well let's imagine that Taro is a vendor or supplier. He works for another company OK. And I ask Taro, I say, well can I get a discount? Yeah, can I get a discount? You know, you're selling me your products. Can I get a discount? And he says, hmmm... if you buy many products. Hmmm... this is OK, if you buy many products, yeah I can give you a discount. It makes sense. But it's a little bit unnatural, if you buy many products. So a more natural way to say this is like this. So if I say to Taro, hey Taro can I get a discount? He can say, if you buy in bulk. Ah in bulk, I see. So I have to buy many products. Yeah, we call that a bulk discount OK. All right, so please remember that. Let's practice pronunciation. So if you buyin bulk. If you buyin bulk. If you buyin bulk. You try. Good. OK with my question. Can I get a discount? I see. So how many do I have to buy? OK like this. All right, just like that. Let's go on to our homework. So next time, I will ask you can I get a discount? And you just say, yeah if you buy in bulk. OK so please practice this and we'll see you in the next lesson. Thank you.
History and profile
Point24 was established in 2007.[1] It is published by Saint-Paul Luxembourg. Originally published exclusively in French, like the rival freesheet L'essentiel, Point24 then was divided, with a German front page and a French one, opposite to each other. Later on the 2 versions were divided into 2 separate newspapers, in a smaller format, magazine like. Finally in February 2011 a Portuguese version of the newspaper, with editions on Thursdays and Tuesdays, was launched.
