we want to thank all the people here for taking time out of your busy schedule at the busiest time of the year to come to our year-end party.

tonight we are very fortunate to have our friends from johnson company with us here to celebrate the year-end festivities together.

we all hope you will be able to have a good time tasting the chinese cuisine, drinking the chinese wine, and, above all, enjoying the chinese 'authentic' entertainment. our young talented employees are going to perform.

now, let us propose a toast to this happy occasion at the end of the year. (after all the cups glasses has been filled.)

here's to johnson's and good electric!

邀请外商客户参加年终餐会，使其见识中国人的[饮食文化]，这主意也是不错的。席间对于贵宾百忙之中抽空光临表示感谢之意，并且在请其品尝美酒佳肴欣赏余兴节目之际，带头举杯预祝双方今后的合作愉快。
