Gregory & Mills has announced that it is going to transfer its corporate headquarters to the
southernmost province of the country.
Topic
It has said that the fierce competition and high tariffs In New York are too much for the company to
handle financially. Seasonal demands, which were expected to stimulate overall profits, weren't as
high as anticipated.
The decrease in consumption is closely linked to the sluggish economy shaking the nation's financial
foundations, which is not forecasted to improve in the near future. The combined factors of the
national recession and inflation in the Manhattan district have depleted Gregory & Mills' funds.
Therefore; it has picked Texas as its new home and will host the office near the state's capita1;1t

PRESS RELEASE
Pacific City Opens New Subway System
Nov. 28: The Pacific City Department of Transportation is pleased to announce the opening of the
city's first subway line which will begin full service starting on Friday, Nov. 30.
After eight years of construction, the subway system will provide transportation from the city's north
end, all the way down to the docklands on the south shore. The current line includes 24 stations, with
an additional 8 stations scheduled to open in July of next year.
The central station, Kinghorn Place, is located in the heart of the city. It includes links to regional
trains, an underground shopping arcade and a food court. The opening of the new system was
originally scheduled for last year, but labor strikes delayed the construction for nearly ten months.

Hong Kong-based Titan Industries, the world's second largest shipbuilding company, started

currently only operating at 40 percent of the facility's full capacity," Onassis reported. She further
explained that Titan has to look for skilled workers outside of' the nation. "Because of its proximity
to Singapore, one of the world's major shipping ports, we were expecting a larger number of
shipbuilding workers in the area. It is surprising that there is a shortage."
Recent advertisements called for applications from certified welders, draftsmen and electrical
engineers. The company will provide in-house training, a relocation allowance, a generous benefits
package and competitive salaries. Engineers are particularly sought after, with additional benefits
including a living allowance and the highest levels of pay compensation. However, Onassis feels that
the problem is only a temporary one. "We feel confident that the shipbuilding plant will be
functioning at 70 percent of its capacity by the end of the second quarter. The responses to our job
advertisements have been incredible, and our workforce is growing larger on a daily basis. We hope
to have a full staff very soon."

convention. Persia Air is fully booked; however, there are three other options you can choose from.
Arabia Air has the 20 seats we requested, but they are all economy seats. I know you wanted to book 6
business class seats for the senior management. The flight leaves on Friday, April 9 and arrives on Saturday.
So, you have a day and a half free before the convention begins on Monday. The second option is Middle
Eastern Airlines. They can provide us with 6 business class seats and 14 in economy class. They are cheaper
than Arabia Air, but the problem is that there is no direct flight. We will have a 6-hour stopover in
Amsterdam, but the flight arrives on Saturday night.
The last option is Aladdin Airways. The prices are less expensive than the other two, and they can
accommodate all our scat requirements. However, the flight arrives at 4 a.m. on Sunday, so that doesn't give
people much time to rest and prepare for the convention.
Anyway, please contact me right away because tickets are selling fast, so they need to be booked as soon as
possible.

Thanks for your e-mail. I know it is not easy to find flights with the convention only two weeks away. The
executives will want business class seats, so we should book our flights with the airline that arrives on
Saturday night. I think we will all need our rest after such a long trip, and they can provide the seats we need
for a reasonable price. Go ahead and book those tickets, and send me an itinerary when it is done. Also, please
make sure to request seats near the exit or window for everyone's comfort.
Thanks a lot!
