Hello Frankie, it's Steven Davis here. Look I know you're busy so I'll get

straight to business.

It's about the time line for the proposal. You say you need six weeks to

complete phase one, but that's way too long,

given the tightness of the other deadlines. Can't you speed it up by about

two weeks to finish in mid May,

rather than the end of the month? That's impossible!

We have to wait for materials to arrive from the suppliers.

So hurry them up a bit! I can't!

They have to wait for fresh shipments from (their) suppliers and given the transport

strike in Venezuela,

they are in a difficult position themselves. I see, well

get another supplier! No way, this particular supplier has an excellent

track record for quality.

We designed the work tops with them in mind and then (if) we had to choose someone

different,

we (would) need to rethink the whole concept, which would take us back to square one.

OK, OK, let's go on to the models.

I want them to be delivered by Friday. No problem.

Good, I was talking to Nelson Ng

about the development plans for phase three and he wants you to defer

the lighting until the final approval from the architects.

Why? Well he says there will be objections

On what grounds? Mmm, well of course they have the bigger picture in mind, and it is

them who are in

daily contact with the builders. The answers no!

But I need to talk to him myself I think. I'm not going to answer you now.

I'll get back to you when I've spoken to him.

OK, but make it soon. I've got people breathing down my neck on this.

No problem. Well these are the main points for now.

I want you to let me know by next week. That shouldn't be a problem.

Good I'll see you then. Goodbye. Goodbye.
