help in paraphrasing

[Anonymous]

Could any teacher help me in paraphrasing the following sentences?

sorry. a mistake in spelling . It should be "edge" (i think it means "positive position" here".)

1/The edge lies in your awareness of how people negotiate the world over.

Also there is another sentence which I would be much appreciate if you could help me in paraphrasing:

2/This year Top Class(a company)invested heavily in a new plant in China and need to expand sales by volumen and revenue to pay for the borrowing costs and to justify the growth in capacity.

Re:

• The edge lies in your awareness of how people negotiate the world over.

Try:

• The advantage lies in your awareness of how people negotiate the world over.

Or:

• Your awareness of how people negotiate the world over gives you an edge.

Re:

• This year Top Class(a company)invested heavily in a new plant in China and need to expand sales by volumen and revenue to pay for the borrowing costs and to justify the growth in capacity.

Try:

• This year, Top Class invested heavily in a new plant in China and needs to expand sales volume and increase revenue so it can pay the borrowing costs and justify the increase in capacity.

What do you think?
