外教讲解地道美语 第259期:采购相机

A: Good  morning,  Angela,  how  have  you  been lately?

B: Morning, Michael. I’ve been very busy lately. One of our other vendors is going out of business and I’ve been searching for a suitable replacement.

A: Well, rest assured that you can count on us to be here for the long run， sit down. Coffee?

B: No, thanks. I’ve been trying to cut down on the caffeine.

A: Haha, I could never do that.  I’d be a zombie if I  didn’t have my morning coffee fix. Let’s get down to business then.

B: Yes. I’ve come to talk with you about ordering the eight megapixel cameras for our new MePhone. The demand for phone cameras is growing, and Pear has been falling behind in the market.

A: That’s great! I’m glad to hear that Pear has finally jumped on the bandwagon.  Right now our contract is for the five megapixel cameras.  Is Pear still interested in having those?

B: No,  we’re  changing  all  the  cameras  to  eight  megapixels. We were hoping that by making your  company our sole supplier for cameras we could  negotiate a better deal.

A: Surely. Let’s get started by drafting a new contract.
