Steven Kayne
Good evening and welcome to this week's Business World, the program for and about business people. Tonight we have Mr. Steven Kayne, who has just taken over and established bicycle shop. Tell us, Mr. Kayne, what made you want to run your own store?
Well, I've always loved racing bikes and fixing them. When I was working full-time as a salesman for a big company, I seldom had time to enjoy my hobby. I knew then that as soon as I had enough money to get my own business going, I'll do it. I had my heart set on it and I didn't let anything stand in my way. When I went down to the bank and got a business loan, I knew I'd love being my own boss. Now my time is my own. I open the store when I want and leave when I want.
You mean you don't keep regular hours?
Well, the sign on my store says the hours are ten to six, but if business is slower than usual, I can just lock up and take off early.
Have you hired any employees to work with you yet?
Yeah, a couple of friends of mine who love biking as much as I do. They help me out a few days a week. It's great because we play cards or just sit around and talk when there are no customers.
Thank you, Mr. Kayne. We wish you success in your new business.

嗯,我的店里有標(biāo)明我們的工作時(shí)間是10點(diǎn)-6點(diǎn),但是生意通常開始的較晚。我可以把鎖門和開門的時(shí)間提前些。
你是否雇傭了員工和你一起工作?
是的,我的兩個(gè)和我一樣喜歡自行車的朋友。他們幫了我許多日子。這非常好。因?yàn)槲覀兛梢栽跊]有顧客的時(shí)候一起打牌或者僅僅是隨意的坐下來聊天。
