A BUSINESS APPOINTMENT

Techmachimport has done a lot of business with Goodman & Co. for
the last few years.1 Before Mr. Kozlov.went to London, he and his

experts had gone through the latest catalogues2 of the firm. They found that compressors Model AC-30 could meet the requirements of their customers.

When Mr. Kozlov arrived in London, he phoned the Russian Trade

Delegation and asked Mr. Zotov to make an appointment with

Mr. Lipman of Goodman & Company.

MAKING AN APPOINTMENT

Mr. Zotov: Russian Trade Delegation here. Good morning.

Secretary: Good morning.

Mr. Zotov: I wonder if Mr. Lipman is available.

Secretary: Yes, he is. Hold on, please.3 I'll put you through.

Mr. Lipman: Lipman is speaking.

Mr. Zotov: Good morning, Mr. Lipman. Zotov speaking. I'm glad

I've got you on the phone. I hope you are well. Mr. Lipman: Yes, thank you. And how are you getting on?4

Zotov: Quite all right, thank you. The fact is Mr. Kozlov, President of Techmachimport has come to London5 to-day. He'd like to talk to you.

Lipman: I'll be glad to see Mr. Kozlov. We haven't met since my last visit to Moscow. I wonder if he will be able to come and see me this afternoon.

Zotov: I'm afraid this time won't be quite convenient to him. Could you give an alternative date, please?

Lipman: Yesj certainly. Tomorrow morning then.

Zotov: Very good. I'll pass it on to Mr. Kozlov. Good-bye.

Lipman: Good-bye.

A BUSINESS TALK

Kozlov: Good morning, Mr. Lipman.

Lipman: Oh, Mr. Kozlov, good morning. Glad to see you in London. I hope you'll enjoy your stay in this country.

Kozlov: I hope»so too. What fine weather you are having now!6

Lipman: Yes. It's wonderful to-day. But the weather is very change­able in London. It rained heavily only yesterday morning. And what's ihe weather like in Moscow?

Kozlov: It isn't so fine as it is here. It was snowing when I left Moscow.

Lipman: Oh, was it?7

Kozlov: Well, Mr. Lipman, I'd like to have a word with you about our order for compressors. We've gone through your latest cata­logues.

Lipman: I believe you've noticed we've improved our Model AC-30.

Kozlov: Quite so. It is very important to us. Now this model meets the requirements of our customers.

Lipman: Glad to hear that.

Kozlov: We are going to place an order with you for 50 compressors but the fact-is we usually buy your goods on c.i.f. terms but now we'd like to buy them on f.o.b. terms.

Lipman: Will you take part deliveries in that case?

Kozlov: That'll suit us all right.

Lipman: By the way, Mr. Kozlov, we'll be able to let you have our quotation in two or three days only.

Kozlov: That's very good because I'll have to leave for Edinburgh8 and shan't be back until next Monday.

Lipman: Then we'll send our quotation to your office.

Kozlov: All right. Good-bye.

Lipman: Good-bye.
