我們廠有三個主要競爭對手，他們生產(chǎn)的機床占了70%的市場份額。其中紅都廠牌子最老，利潤率。他們的產(chǎn)品精密耐用，因而以很高的價格占據(jù)了高檔品市場。沃頓廠生產(chǎn)的機床價格低廉，占的市場份額，雖然利潤率不如我們高。沃特廠生產(chǎn)大型機床，投資很大，市場穩(wěn)定，但利潤率很低。
三家機床廠積壓有優(yōu)勢又積壓有弱點。我們今后若想有競爭力，道德要保證質(zhì)量的可靠性以保持住市場份額，然后再提高利潤。

We mainly have three competitors, whose lathes take 70% of the market share. Among them Hongdu has the longest history and highest profitability. The precision and endurance of their products have enabled them to sell at the top end of the market at much higher prices. Voton, with their low prices, have seized the lion’s share, though their profitability is lower than ours. As a producer of large lathes, Walt have invested heavily and maintained their market share, but their profitability ranks the lowest.
All the three lathe producers have their own strengths and weaknesses. If we are going to be competitive, we have to guarantee reliability to hold on to the market share, and then increase profitability.
