152) The following appeared in a memo to the board of directors of Bargain Brand Cereals.
One year ago we introduced our first product, Bargain Brand breakfast cereal. Our very low prices quickly drew many customers away from the top-selling cereal companies. Although the companies producing the top brands have since tried to compete with us by lowering their prices and although several plan to introduce their own budget brands, not once have we needed to raise our prices to continue making a profit. Given our success in selling cereal, we recommend that Bargain Brand now expand its business and begin marketing other low-priced food products as quickly as possible.
Write a response in which you discuss what questions would need to be answered in order to decide whether the recommendation and the argument on which it is based are reasonable. Be sure to explain how the answers to these questions would help to evaluate the recommendation.

红色的这句话和前后句有什么关系啊？不是很懂！

Although the companies producing the top brands have since tried to compete with us by lowering their prices and although（the companies have made） several plan to introduce their own budget brands, not once have we needed to raise our prices to continue making a profit.

个人觉得主句应该这么来划，to continue making profit的是那些大牌公司。
而not once have we needed to raise our prices应该看做插入语来理解，
once if we have not needed to raise our prices，这类语法有点忘了，我觉得大概意思就是如果我们不涨价，让出一些利润空间给他们，他们就会推出一些计划中的新品种来应对我们的低价策略。

Although the companies producing the top brands have since tried to compete with us by lowering their prices and although several plan to introduce their own budget brands, not once have we needed to raise our prices to continue making a profit.

红色部分应该是 several (of those companies) plan to... 这里plan是动词，如果是名词显然应该用复数。

not once have we needed to...是倒装句。正常顺序是 we have not once needed to...我们一次也没有需要涨价来盈利。

整句话的意思是，

尽管那些知名品牌的生产公司一直以降价来跟我们竞争，尽管好几个（这样的公司）计划推出自己的低价品牌，我们还是继续保持盈利，一次也没有需要涨价才能盈利。

说这话的目的就是为了得出下一句中的our success in selling cereal，低价cereal的成功，当然这些evidence并不足以证明success, 更无法证明future success.
