Catalan term or phrase: M’enganxeu
This is an interview with the CEO of a company which is exporting to China. Any idea what the man is saying? I don't understand what he means at all.

Cheers! To UK English.

Original
Parlant de vendre fora, vostè acaba d’entrar a la Xina a través dels magatzems XX i YY. Com està funcionant la firma en aquest mercat?

M’enganxeu a l’any número u d’aquesta entrada a la Xina. Però m’han obert les portes i m’han dit que mai havien vist un producte així.

Rough draft
Speaking of selling perfumes abroad, you just entered the Chinese market with XX and YY. How is the company doing in this market?

I’m watching this first year in the Chinese market with great interest.

Explanation:
"M'enganxeu" here means "m'agafeu". The idea is "You have found on the first year my company is entering the Chinese market" or "This is the first year my company has access to the Chinese market".

I hope it is clearer now.

agree  Tony Isaac: This is the sense but I'd keep it simple: "This is (only) my first year in the Chinese market..."
