prices. Frank: We shall certainly discuss this matter in every particular case. If you mention future contracts
there is a question I would like to ask you. Will you always prefer cif prices and shipment by plane?
Ivan: Oh, no. Far from it. Only in this particular case we have chosen shipment by plane and cif terms.
But in future, if nothing extraordinary happens, we shall practice fob Tilbury terms, as usual.
Frank: Fine. No objections on our part. Shall we have a standard contract for your trial order? Ivan: I
suppose so. If you can have it prepared now it would be splendid. I'll sign it. I have the power of attorney.
Frank: And what would you say if I propose to sign it in the evening before our dinner. We could have
dinner at the restaurant of your choice.
Ivan: OK. There is a good cosy restaurant near the hotel. It's called White and Red Roses.
Frank: Fine. I'll be waiting for you in the lobby at seven p. m.
Ivan: See you at seven then. Goodbye.
