英文正文

Vincent: You know, we don't have to pick either of the two options. We could just continue selling our product. After all, it's not really our fault. We did all the research anyone could do.

Grace: Not a bad idea, but maybe we should look at the larger picture. Maybe no judge would say it's our fault. But people would feel we were wrong, and would stop buying our products.I know the options will cost a lot, but doing nothing could break the bank.

Sam: I'd like to add something to what you just said. We've only been talking about money here; we should be talking about people. Is it OK to save the money if we know some people are going to get hurt?

Vincent: I guess not. But we just can't take the powder off the market. You know what will happen. Profits will go down, quickly. The shareholders will get angry. Management will have to blame someone. You know who that will be us!

Grace: We have to make the best of a bad situation. But I can't agree with leaving the product on the market just to save our profits. Not even if we try to make better powders for each area.

Sam: Then what do we do?

Grace:We bite the bullet, and take the powder off the market.But there is a way to have the best of both alternatives. We take one month to do tests, and see if we can easily make the new powders. If it will be too expensive, we never sell them there again; we pack it in. It will be my decision.
