P: When can I have your firm CIF prices, Mr. Li?
L: We'll have them worked out by this evening and let you know tomorrow morning. Would you be good enough to come round then?

P: Good. I'll be here tomorrow morning at 10. Will that suit you?
L: Perfectly. Our offers are good for 3 days.

P: I don't need that long to make up my mind. If your prices are favorable and if I can get the commission I want, I can place the order right away.
L: I am sure you'll find our price most favorable. Elsewhere prices for hardware have gone up tremendously in recent years. Our prices haven't changed much.

P: I'm glad to hear that. As I've just said, I hope to conclude some substantial business with you.
L: We shall be very pleased. Is there any thing else I can do for you, Mr. Peter?

P: I'm buying for chain department stores in Canada. They are also interested in Chinese carpets. I'd like to make me to the person in charge of this line?
L: Certainly. I'll make an appointment for you with Mr. Sung of the China National Animal By-products Corp.
P: Thank you very much.
