A: Some of them seem to be of the latest style. Now I’ve a feeling that we can do a lot of trade in this line. We wish to establish relations with you.

B: Your desire coincides with ours.

A: Concerning our financial position, credit standing¹ and trade reputation, you may refer to Bank of Hong Kong, or to our local Chamber² of Commerce or inquiry³ agencies.

B: Thank you for your information. As you know, our corporation is a state-operated one. We always trade with foreign countries on the basis of equality and mu- tual benefit. Establishing business relations between us will be to our mutual⁴ benefit. I have no doubt that it will bring about closer ties between us.

A: That sounds interesting. I’ll send a fax home. As soon as I receive a definite answer, I’ll make a specific inquiry.

B: We’ll then make an offer as soon as possible. I hope a lot of business will be conducted between us.

A: So do I.
