If a new firm , or rather a certain corporation of ours, wishes to open up a market to sell something to or buy something from firms in foreign countries, the person in charge must first of all find out whom he is going to deal with.

• 如果我方某个新成立的商行，或者更确切地说是我方的某家公司，希望在国外打开某种商品的销路，或向国外公司购买某种商品，则该公司的主管人员首先必须查明他将和谁打交道。
