1 wholesale: "Wholesale" refers to the sale of products, usually in large quantities, generally to another distributor. These are sold at or below market value, usually to merchants, who then resell the products. ChinaCorp Ltd. specialises in "Wholesale Manufacturing and Production" - this information is located at the bottom of Mrs Lee's signature.
2 shifts: In this context, "a shift" refers to someone's working hours, generally someone in the service industry (bar and restaurant workers) or laborers (construction workers, for example). Mrs Lee says that her workers are used to working irregular shifts, this probably means that they are accustomed to working during the night.
3 downtown: "Downtown" is a chiefly American term referring to the centre of a city. It is the opposite of "uptown", which usually refers to a "chic" area of town. Mrs Lee recommends a restaurant "located downtown": in the centre of Hong Kong.
