"when i was young, i always planed on opening my own bussiness" oneday George reminded his wife when the twins were away.
"if i could do it over, i would go into business earlier, it's the best time now, we have paid off all our debts, and saved up a little money, starting business is risky, but my job at the factory is not safe either, last week the company laid off 30 of the newest workers, because the sales have slacken off. today the boss sent for me and told me the orders have dropped down so much that they have to lay me off too."
"that is awefull,but do you believe that we could work up enough business in our own shop to pay our expenses? i can quit my part-time job, and help out with selling and accounting, i 'd finally able to use my bookkeeping and accounting skills again."
"building up business is very slow, many businesses just inched along for several years, but i believe if we try we 'll make enough money to live on it, you sell new engines, parts and tools, i tune up the old, i believe the things would work out well enough"
"where could we set up our shop?"
"we could take over the empty building on main street, today i talked with the owner, he wanted me to sign up at once, i tols hime i would talk it over with you, he may hold t for the rent more than i am willing to pay, but i believe we can work out an agreement unless we become biogged down in some of details, what do you think we sould do?"
"i think we should sleep on it."更多精彩文章及讨论，请光临枫下论坛 rolia.net
