8.1.4 希望扩大合作

W: Hello, Mr. Black, how are you?

M: Fine, thank you, and how are you?

W: Very well, thank you. It's nice to meet you again. I am awfully sorry for not being able to meet you at the airport, as I was busy yesterday. I do hope you had a very enjoyable trip from New York.

M: Yes, a very pleasant journey indeed. Thank you.

W: How are you getting along with your business?

M: Not bad. The fur market is not very brisk lately, but the selling season is advancing near. I hope there will be more buyers in the market this year.

W: I hope we can do more business together. Though we are satisfied with our past trade record, there are still possibilities for more business. In the meantime, let's discuss other spheres of cooperation, such as investment, technology transfer and technical assistance.
