•B:Oh, yes. We have the offer ready for you now. Here it is, 1,500 sets of Seagull Brand digitalcamera, at 300 US dollars per set, CIF London,for shipment during November/December, 2022. Other terms and conditions remainthe same as usual. The offer is valid for three days.
•A:Why, your price has gone up sharply! It is 20% higher than last year’s. This is incredible.
•B:I am surprised to hear that. As you well know, there has been a strong demandfor this kind of cameras and such a demand will certainly lead to increasedprice. Our price is more competitive than quotations you can get elsewhere.
•A:I don’t think so. I must point out that some of the quotations we have receivedfrom other sources are lower than yours.
•B:But you must take the quality into consideration. Everyone in this trade knowsSeagull is of superior quality. To be frank with you, if we were not friends,we should hardly be willing to make you a firm offer at this price.
•A:You are right, Seagull is of high quality and we are old friends. But it willbe very hard for us to push sales at this price. Perhaps I will have to try, I suppose.
•B:Good. I am sure it is a wise decision.
