m: what do the preliminary figures tell you? any kinds of trends going on for the branches in the far east?

亞洲地區的銷售情況如何?你們有沒有可能看到各部分的報告?
我們從北京,香港,臺北,新加坡和東京部份得到了相關的數字.我們正在等曼谷和庫拉魯姆普爾方面的消息.
最初的銷售數字說明什么情況?遠東地區各部分的發展趨勢如何?
很難說,因為各部分都建于不同的國家,當地的社會及文化影響定會先影響到各個市場中產品銷售成功與否.
舉個例子?
例如,有些產品在東京賣的很好,但在馬來西亞就很失敗.我們得承認不同的民族有著不同的生活方式和需求.每家分部在編寫報告,做銷售計劃時都應該把這些因素考慮進去.
