W: Good afternoon. International Trade Center Exhibition Services. How can I help?
M: Oh, hello. I'd like some information about the exhibiting at the International Automobile Show.
W: The auto show? So, what would you like to know?
M: First, can you give me an idea of how big the fair is?
W: Well, 121 companies had stands last year, and that figure should be up to 140 this time.
M: Sorry, how many?
W: 140.
M: What about visitor numbers?
W: Over the two days, we had 16,500 visitors. So, with more stands, we'd hope for more people this time.
M: And where did they typically come from?
W: About 57% were from overseas,America and Europe, Japan, Singapore, and South Korea. The remained were local people.
M: That's interesting. Now, a few practical questions.We are thinking of taking a stand of about 45 square meters. How much will that cost us?
W: 400 dollars per square meter.
M: Sorry, can you give me the cost again?
W: Yea, it's 400 dollars. So, if you are looking at 45 square meters, it would be...let me see... 18,000 dollars. But that's just the cost for a basic stand.
M: What does the price include?
W: You get a listing in the catalogue in both Chinese and English,some basic furniture-a desk and four chairs, and electricity and lighting.
M: So anything else would be extra,like a poster?
W: That's right.
