1
- So, as you can imagine, there's been lots of discussion with our management here at Go Global around the financing of the project.
2
I'm pleased to say they love the proposal.
3
I think we both want to go forward with this project.
4
That's great news, Claudio.
5
If I may
6
Well to come straight to the point I think there are only really two key topics to focus on today.
7
Production location and the choice of distributors.
8
Right now we need to know if our position to go with local people is being considered.
9
Yes, well, both topics did come up in discussions.
10
So, what's the feedback?
11
Sorry, but you must understand these are very important issues to us.
12
- Sanjit.
13
It seems like we have two main problems here.
14
The product is excellent, yes.
15
But if you produce in Bangladesh, we feel you risk quality issues.
16
producers in China can guarantee better standards.
17
As for the distribution partners you want to work with, We just don't think they're good enough.
18
They're small.
19
Limited finances.
20
Frankly, you risk the sales.
21
But have you fully analysed these risks?
22
Where's your data?
23
We know these markets and partners very well and we're confident.
24
That's true, yes.
25
We do have less experience in this market, which is precisely why we're being so cautious.
26
We're happy to take a look at any numbers you might have.
27
I can't give you any financial information from the partners at the moment.
28
The data you need is very difficult for them to put together.
29
They're not used to these kinds of management processes.
30
They need more time.
31
And in the meantime, What do we do?
32
We need the data to make decisions.
33
Okay.
34
Look.
35
Thank you.
36
These are not easy discussions, but they are useful.
37
Antec clearly has a focus on local partners, and we're open to that in principle.
38
Good.
39
but we do need that data.
40
you What shall we do?
41
I actually emailed a couple of times last week.
42
No response.
43
Okay, could we help you with that?
44
Let me call them.
45
I'll see what we can realistically get for next week.
46
Okay, that would be useful.
47
By next week we'll also have the auditor's report on quality at the local production site.
48
then we'll be better placed to discuss this again.
49
Right.
50
Moving on, I had some questions about sales forecasts.
51
Sanji.

Wat is de Shadowing-techniek?
Shadowing is een wetenschappelijk onderbouwde taalleermethode die oorspronkelijk is ontwikkeld voor professionele tolkentraining en gepopulariseerd door polyglot Dr. Alexander Arguelles. De methode is eenvoudig maar krachtig: je luistert naar native Engelse audio en herhaalt het onmiddellijk hardop — als een schaduw die de spreker volgt met slechts 1–2 seconden vertraging. In tegenstelling tot passief luisteren of grammaticadrills, dwingt shadowing je hersenen en mondspieren om echte spraakpatronen tegelijkertijd te verwerken en te reproduceren. Onderzoek toont aan dat het de uitspraaknauwkeurigheid, intonatie, ritme, verbonden spraak, luisterbegrip en spreekvaardigheid aanzienlijk verbetert — waardoor het een van de meest effectieve methoden is voor IELTS Speaking-voorbereiding en echte Engelse communicatie.
