AT A BUSINESS CONFERENCE
A business conference is an event to sum up all the
business reports, to clue everyone in on them, to put up
the most important questions which are to be disposed of.
To zero in on the most acute problems, to think and talk
them over and at last iron them out. The questions to be
to put up are usually as follows:
• whether to jack up or roll back the price;
• to snap up or scale down a project;
• to buy out, cut in or muscle in on the competitors;
• also whether to sell off the whole stuff;

• to spin off a new branch;
• to read someone, whom they should take up the dam
age to, out of the job;
• to carry the amount of money due over into the next
month.
When it's time to fold up the conference, it's always
clear what it's aiming at: to come out ahead with a profit.
