[参考译文]1999年11月,43岁的钟彬娴接管了雅芳,而此时公司正处于困境之中。在面临历史性的经济飞速发展之际,公司的股票却在不断下跌。随着愿意直销雅芳产品的妇女人数减少,其销售开始下降。但是,钟接手雅芳后,却向众人展示了奇迹。在过去的20个月里,她几乎改革了雅芳经营中的每一个环节:如何做广告宣传、生产、包装以及如何销售其产品。更让人惊奇的是,她所做的不是摈弃看来已经过时的雅芳销售小姐,而是让其恢复生机。 In November 1999, 43-year-old Zhong Bin took over Avon, and the company was in a predicament. In the face of the historic economic development, the company’s stock has been falling. As the number of women willing to sell Avon products decreased, their sales began to decline. However, after the bell took over Avon, he showed miracles to the crowd. In the past 20 months, she has almost changed every aspect of Avon’s business: how to advertise, produce, pack, and sell its products. What is even more amazing is that what she has done is not to abandon Miss Avon, who seems to be obsolete, but to restore her vitality.
