17 返回 TAPESCRIPT B: I see. But if I don’t take care of the supply of my market, my customers will naturally turn somewhere else for their needs. A: Sorry, I don’t think we can offer you more than 500 cases this year. As a matter of fact, we have made a special effort to get even these 500 cases for you. B: All right. We’ll take the 500 cases this time. But I do hope you can supply more next time. A: We’ll see if we can do better next year.
