Translate the Following Business English into Chinese.

With the base of retailers shrinking to a few giant firms, manufacturers and wholesalers now respond eagerly to the demands of these power retailers. The power retailers have learned the lessons of just-in-time inventory management,and firms such as Wal-Mart focus on zero inventory as a desirable goal. In essence, the power retailers want delivery of goods in precisely defined lots, to dispersed retail locations, at exactly the time they are needed on retail shelves. When such retailers are paired with responsive and logistically sophisticated manufacturers, retail inventory turnover rates skyrocket. For some categories of fast-selling goods such as cosmetics, power retailers achieve thirty-five or more inventory turns per year. As demands change so rapidly, logistics system throughput time becomes critical. Goods must arrive where and when they are demanded, else they risk market obsolescence.
