W: Sit down, please, Mr. Black. I hope you enjoyed your journey.  
M: Of course, I did. It was a wonderful trip.

M: I’m here at your disposal.
W: Let’s draw up an agenda for our discussion, shall we?
M: Fine. One of the items for our agenda would be the supply of computers to China in the second half of this year. [19]/[20]As you know, our current contract is about to expire, and we will need to discuss a new one.

W: Yes, but we still stick to a consistent policy in our foreign trade. [21]We insist on the principle of equality and mutual benefit, as well as exchanging needed goods.
M: Would you give us a brief account of the new practices you have adopted?
W: [22]We have adopted, for example, payment by installments.  
M: We are very glad that you have such a friendly attitude.
W: It’ll benefit both of us.
