听力原文:F: We are honoured that you have come to see us, Mr. Mitchell.
M: Thank you, Madam Ii. We're pleased to be here and appreciate your willingness to arrange this meeting on such a short notice.
F: You have indicated that you would like to explore the possibility of an agency relationship with Sinochem with the intent of developing a market for some of our products in your country and perhaps in Canada as well.
M: Yea, that is certainly our current thinking.
F: Perhaps before we begin any detailed discussions, I should give you some idea of the scope of activities of Sinochem.
M: The name "Sinochem' is well known to us, but we would like a little more information about your company. I should tell you that your branch in the U. S. has already informed us that Expert Division No. 4 is responsible for dyestuffs and pigments.
F: Sinochem was established in 1950 and since that time has grown to become one of the largest companies in China, specializing in imports and exports of chemical products. As a result, it has gained a great deal of experience (in foreign trade) and has many foreign clients. The primary products we handle are crude oil and oil products, plastic, rubber, fertilizer and pesticides, ss well as dyestuffs and pigments. You expressed a particular interest in our various dyestuffs as well as our pigments.
M: I glanced through these catalogues and noted the wide variety of products Sinochem offers.
F: You mentioned earlier that you would like to concentrate on dyes for cotton, silk, and linen materials.
M: Yes, that is what we intend to do.
F: In that case, you may wish to take a look at our sulfur and reactive dyes. Sulfur dyes have been around for a very long time and have been used for dying sturdy work clothing from early history. You will note that the variety of eolours in which this sulfur dye is available is somewhat limited, particularly in the bright hues. They are also cheaper than the reactive dyes.
M: I gather then that the reactive dyes are used primarily for fine cottons, silk, and linen.
F: That is correct.
M: I particularly lire the wide variety of bright eolours available in reactive dyes. Is there any difference in price from one colour to another?
F: Yes, there certainly is. The most expensive is the colour, identified as Brilliant Blue KNR, under Sinochem Code No.9607. A cheaper colour dye would ha, for example, Brilliant Red K-JBP; the most economical of course is Black.
M: I assume of course that not much expertise is needed in producing black.

M: I think that might be a good idea, Madam Li. Our time in Beijing is growing short and I do wish to take home as much information as I can.
F: This catalogue describes our agrochemicals' exports, which include insecticides, fungicides, herbicides, and plant growth regulators, as well as fertilizers.
M: We would like to take home a number of copies of this catalogue, if we may, for review by our marketing division. In the meantime, however, it would appear that insecticides would be of primary interest.
F: Certainly, Mr. Mitchell. Just let me know how many copies you want and will have them delivered to your hotel before you leave.
M: Oh, half a dozen will be fine for now.
F: I will make sure this is done. May we now continue our discussions on dyestuffs and organic pigments?
M: Yes, I believe we have reached the stage where we should explore the feasibility of setting up an agency relationship with your company. I have reviewed our notes on our previous discussions and we have pretty well concluded that on this particular visit we should focus on your dyestuffs.
F: That will be fine. In other words, you would like to leave the possible importation of our inorganic and organic pigments for future consideration?
M: Yes, that is correct. We believe that Galaxy needs to do its homework on these commodities. We would like to complete some further market research studies before making any commitments to you in regard to this.
F: We appreciate your candour, Mr. Mitchell. Whenever you wish to reopen discussions concerning these commodities, we will look forward to hearing from Galaxy.
M: Now during our earlier discussions, you mentioned that your minimum quantity of shipping dyestuffs offshore is one container, holding between 10 and 14 metric tons.
F: That is correct, Mr. Mitchell.
M: What would be your agent's commission on these minimum quantities?
F: We, too, have had some internal discussions on this matter and we can offer you an agent s commission of 2% of the selling price on all dyes.
M: Some of the dyes will be more readily marketable than others. For example, I can foresee that, with the fight amount of promotional effort, we would be able to develop a significant market for your reactive dyes. Nevertheless, we would have to launch a fairly extensive, and no doubt costly, promotional program to introduce these dyes to the end users. There would be a very considerable first time advertising expenditure, followed by regular outlays for reinforcement advertising as these products become known and the end users begin to apply them.
F: As you know, the reactive dyes are considerably more expensive than the sulfur dyes. Therefore, any sales of these commodities would generate significant agency revenues.
M: During the initial stages, however, most of these commissions would be required to pay for the promotional expenses, which will be very substantial indeed. Have you considered the feasibility of assuming financial responsibility for at least a portion of the required advertising campaign? We would visualize some television and perhaps radio advertising, but primarily inserts into local daily newspapers and trade magazines.
F: We have not previously provided our agents with any, what you might call, promotional allowances. Advertising of our products is strictly the responsibility of the agent.
M: Under these circumstances, it would take a very long time b
A.Agrochemicals exports.
B.Dyestuff and pigments.
C.Insecticides and fertilizers.
