Thanks for coming everybody. OK, let’s get down to business. As you know, we’re here to talk about the relocation to the UK and I’d like to hear what you have to say. Now, the plan is to make the final move in January, but that’s a busy month for us. So, what do you think?
Can I just stop you there for a moment, Elke? This relocation idea – I mean, it’s ridiculous. I don’t think anyone here actually wants to go and live in Britain.
With respect, you don’t quite seem to understand, Erich. The decision has already been taken.
Sorry, I don’t quite see what you mean. I thought we were here to discuss this.
No, perhaps I didn’t make myself clear. We are relocating to Cambridge in November. That’s been decided...
So why are we having this meeting?
If I could just finish what I was saying. What we are discussing today is how to implement the decision. This affects our Scandinavian office too, you know. There’s a lot to talk about. Now...
Can I just come in here?
Yes, what is it Axel?
Well, I can see why we should have a branch in the UK, instead of Scandinavia. We do most of our business there. But we’re a German company. Head office should be here in Germany, surely.
I’m afraid that’s completely out of the question. The decision to relocate makes good logistic and economic sense. We’re still a fairly small business. Having branches in different countries is just not an option.
I totally disagree. Our market is Northern Europe and Germany is at the heart of Northern Europe.
Yes, but 70% of our market is in the UK. Look, perhaps we can come back to this later. I can see some of you are not happy about it, and I agree with you up to a point, but I am not in a position to change company policy. OK, let’s move on. How are we going to handle administration during the relocation? Does anyone have any suggestions? How about using the Stockholm office while we move from Bremen to Cambridge? Kjell?
Well, to be honest, Elke, we feel very much the same as our German colleague here. We think the decision to close down the Bremen and Stockholm offices is a mistake.
I see...
Look, maybe we should take a short break, Elke. I think one or two of us would like to have a word with you – in private if that’s OK.
Right. Well, sorry everybody. We’ll have to break off here, I’m afraid. Axel, Kjell, Erich, I’ll see you in my office...

感谢大家的到来。好吧，让我们言归正传。你知道，我们在这里谈论搬迁到英国，我想听听你说。现在，这个计划是在一月做出最后的举动，但这对我们来说是忙碌的一个月。所以，你认为呢？我只是想让你
一会，埃尔克？这–搬迁的想法我的意思是，这是荒谬的。我不认为这里有人真的想去住在英国。
尊重，你不太了解，埃里希。决定已经采取
。对不起，我不太明白你的意思。我想我们是在这里讨论这个。
没有，也许我没有说清楚。我们是十一月搬家到剑桥。这是决定……
为什么我们开这个会吗？
如果我能完成我所说的话。我们今天讨论的是如何实施决策。这影响了我们的斯堪的纳维亚的办公室，你知道的。有很多可谈。现在……
我可以进来吗？
是的，这是什么桥？
嗯，我能明白为什么我们要在英国有分公司，而不是斯堪的纳维亚。我们做我们的大部分业务。但我们是一家德国公司。总部应在德国，当然。
恐怕是不可能的。搬迁决定是很好的物流和经济意义。我们仍然是一个相当小的业务。在不同国家的分支机构是不能选择的。
我完全不同意。我们的市场是北欧和德国在欧洲北部
是心，但我们的市场，70%是在英国。看，或许我们可以稍后回来。我可以看到你们中的一些人不高兴，我同意你，但我不能改变公司的政策。好吧，让我们继续。我们要如何在搬迁处理行政？没有任何人有任何建议吗？如何使用斯德哥尔摩的办公室，我们从不来梅搬到剑桥？杰尔？
嗯，老实说，Elke，我们很为我们的德国同事一样。我们认为，决定关闭不来梅和斯德哥尔摩的办事处是一个错误。
我看到……
看，也许我们应该休息一下，埃尔克。我认为一个或两个我们想跟你私下–如果可以的话，有一句话
。右。好吧，对不起大家。我们不得不停下来，我害怕。阿克塞尔，杰尔，埃里希，我会在我的办公室见你
