(Mr. Wang and Mr. Mott meet at the fair and greet each other)
Wang: Fancy running into you in a great crowd like this, Mr. Mott.
Mott: Hi, Mr. Wang, haven’t seen you fro quite a long time. How are you?
Wang: Fine, thanks. When did you arrive in Guangxhou?
Mott: I arrived the day before yesterday. I am invited to attend the Guangzhou Fair
By a local company of yours.
Wang: Yes? You’re welcome to the Fair, Mr. Mott. Have you seen the exhibits?
Mott: I spent the whole morning going through the halls. You have certainly a great
variety of goods on display.
Wang: Did you find anything interesting to you?
Mott: Of course! There are lots of commodities which greatly interest me. Take your silk garments for example. They are selling very fast on our market, and enjoy a high reputation among the end-users.
Wang: So I hear. As people the world over come to know better about China, Chinese products are getting more and more popular on the world market. By the way, when can I expect your visit to our company? We cooperated very well last year, didn’t we?
I think business between us will develop further this year.
Mott: That’s also what I came here for. (At this point, another foreigner comes over
And greets Mr. Wang) But you seem to be very for the moment. Suppose we
Have a talk this afternoon?
Wang: Right. Our exhibits stand is over there at east end of this hall. You won’t miss it. I’ll be expecting you this afternoon.
Mott: OK. Till then, goodbye.
