Last month Stepanov, an engineer from Soyuzimport, had instructions to visit an exhibition of electronic equipment which was held at Olimpia in London.

Soyuzimport was interested in purchasing computers of the latest model. The Model R800 computer of Wilson &Co attracted Stepanov’s attention. After he had seen the computer in operation he got in touch with Mr. Adams, the Sales Manager of the company, to start talks for the purchase of computers.

Stepanov: Good morning, Mr. Adams. Here is my card.

Adams: Good morning. I’m glad to meet you. How do you like our stand?

Stepanov: Oh, it is really interesting. We’ve had a happy chance to see you latest achievements in electronic industry. I must say you’ve made much progress in this field.

Adams: Glad to hear that.

Stepanov: Mr. Adams, your stand-attendant has just shown me the Model 800 computer in operation. Is it for sale?

Аdams: Certainly. It’s an up-to-date model. It was introduced into the world market six months ago and since then it has been a great success. So, I’m not surprised you got interested in it.

Stepanov: Yes, I was impressed by its efficient performance and the design.

Adams: The computer meets the highest world standards.

Stepanov: But as you know, Mr. Adams, to buy a computer is only half the business. You must have your own operators and programmers to operate the equipment. I’d like to know if it will be possible to send our specialists here so that they could get good training at your plants.

Adams: No problem to arrange it.

Stepanov: Fine. As soon as I come back to Moscow we’ll send you our inquiry.
