[speaker001:] To get around your difficulty, Mr Smith. I'd suggest that you reduce your order by half. You can send in an additional order later.
[speaker002:] Well, I'll consider the possibility. By the way, when do I have to open the L C if I want the goods to be delivered in June.
[speaker001:] A month before the time you want the goods to be delivered.
[speaker002:] Could you possibly effect shipment more promptly?
[speaker001:] Getting the goods ready, making out the documents and booking the shipping space, all this takes time you know. You cannot expect us to make delivery in less than a month.
[speaker002:] Very well, Mr Zhang. I'll not reduce my order. I'll take the full quantity you offer. And I'll arrange for the L C to be opened in your favor as soon as I get home.
[speaker001:] When will that be?
[speaker002:] Early next month. In the meantime, I should be very pleased if you would get everything ready. I hope that the goods can be dispatched promptly after you get my L CB
[speaker001:] You can rest assured of that.
