A: And now I’d like to discuss with you the year results of our new contract with the “TechArt Group”.

 B: So the contract was signed 10 months ago and in the beginning the outcome was under a big question. We provided them with high quality raw materials for their production chain but one supply was with a big percentage of waste.

A: So how did you solve the problem?

B: We changed the delivery and suggested them a discount on the following dispatch. Now our total turnover is over 2 billion dollars. It is 5% higher than what we expected.

A: That is a good outcome. Are they going to sign a contract for the next year deliveries?

B: Yes, they certainly will. They are happy with our delivery terms and payments. And what is more, we are discussing their new project now.

A: It is great. Keep working this way.

-So we gathered here to discuss budget planning for the next year expenditures. What I want to underline is that basing on the latest research we are going to face some financial difficulties. So we need to prepare and cut the budget.

-First of all I would like to say that no redundancy will take place. We are staffed better than ever before. All our employees correspond to the required level and do their job well. Besides, we cannot cut down production financing. As even a small decrease in the quality of raw materials largely results in the goods quality.

-So what is going to be cut down is the marketing budget. I appreciate what marketing department does for the company. What is more, I realize that this is going to create huge difficulties for the marketers. But we all understand what will happen if we don’t do this way.

В английском языке much употребляется с неисчисляемыми существительными (money, sugar, например), many - с исчисляемыми (friends, plants), а a lot of - и с теми, и с другими.

Пара особенностей: во-первых, a lot of чаще всего встречается в утвердительных предложениях и редко - в вопросительных. Во-вторых, существительные news, money, work, travel, advice, research, furniture и research в английском относятся к НЕ исчисляемым.
