After reviewing the last financial year`s annual report I realized that the amount of money this company spends on outside support services is outrageously high. 
看完最新的财政年度报告之后.我发现公司花在外部服务支持上的费用高得无法容忍.
大卫:
So what do you want us to do about it? This company needs those services to survive.
那么你想要我们做什么?公司的生存离不开那些服务.
哈里:
I want you to look into each and every support service this company receives, from the cleaners to the lawyers, and see what prices their competition offers. See if we can encourage their competition to undercut their competitors and save us a lot of mone
我想要你调查公司所请的包括从清洁工到律师的所有服务.查看他们的竞争对手提供的报价. 然后看看我们是否能通过鼓励他们的竞争对手报出比他们更低的价格.这样我们就能省一大笔钱.
哈里:
Are you sure that you want me to even look into replacing our current law firm? That company has been doing nothing but 1st class work for this company for over 10 years.
你确定想要我甚至考虑换掉我们现在的律师事务所吗?这家公司给我们提供了十多年的一流服务啊.
大卫:
That`s exactly why we need to give them a shake up. How do we know they haven`t been over charging us for the last 10 years?
这就是为什么我们要给他们一点震动的原因.我们怎么知道十多年来他们没有超额收费?
大卫:
Ok.
好的.
哈里:
But especially look into alternative catering companies. As I`ve been getting a lot of negative feedback from the employees that the standard of service and quality of the food has been getting worse.
但是特别要调查一下其它可选的餐饮公司. 因为我从雇员那里得到很多负面反馈.说服务的标准和食品质量越来越差了.
大卫:
All right. I`m also getting that sort of feedback lately as well.
好的.最近我也听到这类反馈意见了.
哈里:
We also need to organize a meeting with our business consultants to discuss the possibility of putting up for tender some of our support services.
我们还需要和我们的企业顾问们安排一次会议.讨论招标外面的公司承包我们的支持服务的可能性.
大卫:
That`s probably a good solution to this outside services cost problem.
这或许是外请服务费用过高问题的一个好的解决方法.
