[speaker001:] I 'm glad to have the opportunity of visiting your corporation. I hope to conclude some substantial business with you.
[speaker002:] It 's a great pleasure to meet you, Mr. Brown. I believe you have seen our exhibits in the showroom. May I know what particular items you 're interested in?
[speaker001:] I 'm interested in your hardware. I 'Ve seen the exhibits and studied your catalogues. I think some of the items will find a ready market in Canada. Here is a list of my requirements, for which I 'd like to have your lowest quotations, C. I. F. Vancouver.
[speaker002:] Thank you for your inquiry. Would you tell us the quantity you require so that we can work out the offers?
[speaker001:] I 'll do that. Meanwhile, could you give me an indication of price?
[speaker002:] Here are our F. O. B. price lists. All the prices in the lists are subject to our confirmation.
[speaker001:] What about the commission? From European suppliers I usually get a 3 to 5 percent commission for my imports. It 's the general practice.
[speaker002:] As a rule we don 't allow any commission. But if the order is a substantial one, we 'll consider it.
[speaker001:] You see, but I do business on a commission basis. A commission on your prices would make it easier for me to promote sales. Even two or three percent would help.
[speaker002:] That 's something we can discuss later.
