Then we will give the information to my father who will match the information with that in the computer. If the numbers match, fine; if not, we have to recount to make sure we have an exact count of each inventory item.” “So this is an important part of business in Japan?” you ask. She replies in Japanese, “It’s an important part of business everywhere. My father’s silk flowers come from all over Japan, and some are very expensive. We must know the inventory.” Well, they must trust your ability to count in Japanese if they’re going to trust you with something as important as inventory.
