Li : A businessman of a Chinese Trade company
Peter: A customer
L: I understand this is your first visit to our company
P: Yes, and also my first trip to China. I've always wanted to see with my own eyes China's achievements and now I've been more than rewarded.
L: I see, but I hope you've had a pleasant trip.
P: I did, thank you. Well, come to the point, the purpose of my coming here is to inquire about possibilities of establishing trade relations with your company.
L: Let me assure you of our best attention, Mr.Peter. What's your line of business?
P: Cameras and photographic goods. We are distributors with business branches in most major cities in Britain. Now, we'd like to introduce Chinese-made cameras if your conditions are favorable.
L: We'll see what we can do.
P: There might be few of models we would be interested in, if I could go over your latest catalogues.
L: Here you are. How many copies would you like to have?
P: Ten, please. I'd like to airmail some back home.
L: Anything else?
P: Would it be possible for me to have a closer look at your samples?
L: Why not, Mr.Liu over there will take you down to our showroom.
P: Thank you. I'm afraid I've taken a lot of your time.
L: Not at all. Glad to have been of help. Hope to see more of you in future.
