Argument100 (ArgumentTask2)
The following appeared in a memo from the chief operating officer of the Presto Manufacturing Company.
"Since orders for our major product increased by over 200 percent last quarter, we should promptly expand production by building a new manufacturing plant in Summit City. Summit City is the ideal location for the new plant because it has low property taxes, extensive blocks of land available for immediate purchase, and a large number of residents who are not currently employed."

Start: 19:55
End: 20:33


The memo of the chief operating officer of the Presto Manufacturing Company showed that the company’s new plan of expanding market is to build a new plant in Summit City where there are such advantages as low property taxes, extensive blocks for immediate purchasing and a large number of unemployed residents. At the first sight of the memo, the plan sounds quite reasonable, but in fact, the chief officers paid little attention to the comprehensive situation.

Summit City is the ideal location for the new plant firstly because of its low property taxes. But the low property taxes can’t be a good reason for setting up a company. I may ask the reason why the tax of Summit City is so low? Maybe the climate there is not considerable and the land shape is not suitable for human beings to live, which caused few people to live there. In order to attract more people to reside in Summit City, the local government decreased the property taxes to the price lower than the average. If it is so, the natural condition of Summit City actually is not suitable for establishing a plant.

The second reason that Summit City is ideal for the new plant is that it enjoys an extensive blocks of land available for immediate purchase. But the extensive blocks doesn’t ensure the company of available construction. If the land shape is too rugged like mountain areas or high plateau, even provided with large areas, the company still can’t start construction. If the available land is not in a good position of the city like downtown areas or residents blocks, maybe it will cost a lot of money for the company on the transportation of products, thus will consume extra money and lower the profits.

As to the large number of residents of Summit City, the company should consider the reason why so many people are unemployed and whether these people will come to Presto if Presto offer them jobs. Maybe these people are the old people and children who have no power to go working. Maybe these people have no current job because they are freelancers or having part-time job to live. Maybe these people even don’t need to work because they can get financial support from their government. If the Presto Manufacturing Company does no previous investigation but rush to set up the plant, it could be quite irrational and risky for the future of Presto.

In a word, the chief officer has no strong evidence and enough investigation to ensure the success of setting up a new plant in Summit City. So the company should still think twice and do enough homework before they carry out the plan.
