Текст 5. These boots are made for export (Part II)

In the second year he had a turnover of 50,000 units. He moved from his kitchen into a small workshop, making wax by night and selling it by day. He sold to outdoor shops all over the UK and interrailed around the mountain centres in Europe, winning orders from the big names in boots, Fjellraven, Edelweiss and Kaufmann, Van de Sport. Le Trappeur, France's biggest manufacturer, ordered 60,000 tins. European sales outstripped those in the UK. Nick believes strongly in research and international marketing. He is a linguist (an ex-student of the School of African and Oriental Studies) and he makes sure his foreign language publicity material is accurate to the last accent. Unlike most British companies, he invoices in local currency. "I'd rather risk losing money on individual deals than loosing a customer because exchange rates have changed". The big question now is whether outdoor shops can survive the recession. Four years of drought on top of economic decline have been bad for business. "Now, thank God, it's raining," says Mr. Brown. NOTES: interrail – внедрять, распространять; outstrip – превосходить; recession – падение спроса; drought – зд: застой. TRANSLATE INTO ENGLISH: 1. На второй год товарооборот был 50000 пар. 2. Он верит в международный маркетинг. 3. Трудно сказать, кто сможет пережить падение спроса.
