This is the second weekend since I joined this company. Because I didn’t in charge of the physical commodity trading before, so I should learn a lot at first. I’m collecting most data about the product which we are planning to do, such as the quantity of the supply and demand, the tax and all of fees it will happen when you import it. You should know the real cost than you can take it clear how much profit you’ll take when you sell it. Collecting such data is a little difficult because it is very complicated and it will take much time, but fortunately I have good workmates, they helped me a lot and taught me how to find the data and make it in the diagram, so it seems that I could accomplish it soon.

I have joined this company for 2 weeks already/ I have been there for 2 weeks by now . I need to learn a lot at first Because I haven’t been  in charge of physical commodity trading before.

I’m collecting a lot of data about the product which we are planning to launch, such as the numbers/figures for the supply and demand, the tax rate and all of fees (that you have to cover / pay if you want to import the product.)
First you need to calculate the exact cost to have an idea of the profit you can make.

Collecting this kind of data is a little difficult because it is very complicated and it will take much time, but fortunately I have good workmates, they helped me a lot and taught me how to find the data and turn it into a diagram/ and create diagrams out of it / create visuals out of it, so it seems that I could finish soon.
