moreover Dear David In response to your
request, I am writing with an update on the construction of the new PB1
headquarters in Shanghai. Owing to difficulties obtaining
planning permission, work has not in fact begun yet. As you know, there were
some features of the original design which the local planning authorities were
not happy with and, {{U}} {{U}} 23 {{/U}} {{/U}}, we have had to
submit modified plans. We are not anticipating any problems with these changes,
but, {{U}} {{U}} 24 {{/U}} {{/U}}, we will have to wait for
formal permission before starting work. {{U}} {{U}} 25 {{/U}}
{{/U}}, we have been able to start construction of the access road to the
building. This work is progressing well and will be completed in time for the
main construction. {{U}} {{U}} 26 {{/U}} {{/U}}, it will also be
on budget. {{U}} {{U}} 27 {{/U}} {{/U}}the withdrawal of Jarjing
Inc, one of the building subcontractors, we have had to look for a replacement.
{{U}} {{U}} 28 {{/U}} {{/U}}this is not something that we want
to rush. {{U}} {{U}} 29 {{/U}} {{/U}}, we already have two
subcontractors who can begin the work when permission is granted. {{U}}
{{U}} 30 {{/U}} {{/U}}we need to find the right partner, we have
invited about ten firms to bid for the contract and we expect to make a decision
within the next eight weeks. I hope this gives you enough information. Please do
not hesitate to call me if there are further details you require.
