Conversation: Bon Voyage
Wang: it’s a shame that you can not stay in Beijing for a few more days, Mr. Knox! Knox: Yes, I’d like to, very much indeed. But I have to rush home and preside over the committee meeting. Anyhow, I really enjoyed every minute of my stay here, your warm reception, as well as your working enthusiasm have left me a deep and vivid impression and helped make my trip a productive one. Wang: it’s very kind of you to say so. Through beautiful negotiation we finally have all the disputes solved and the contract signed. I’m sure our initial transaction will pave the way for further cooperation between our two companies. We’ve been brought closer to each other by this transaction. It’s essential for us, or for
a country, to strengthen economic contact with the outside world, isn’t it? Knox: I quite agree with you. In the long run, it makes sense for a nation to specialize in certain activities, producing the goods in which it has the most advantages and exchanging them for those in which it does not have the advantages. Wang: you seem to be an economist, Mr. Knox!
Knox: you are to blame for it, Wang. If you hadn’t started this talk about a country’s…well, let’s drop this topic. Economist or not, I hope business between us will prosper. Then we’ll have more opportunities to meet each other. To tell you the truth, I find it very hard to say goodbye. I shall be
missing you, Wang.
Wang: me too, I shall be looking forward to your visit again.
Knox: next time I come, I shall see more of the city. And I’ve got to try Beijing Roast Duck again, very impressive. But listen, are they announcing my flight? I’m afraid I have to board the plane now.
Wang: Bon V oyage, Mr. Knox!
Knox: Good-bye. Let’s keep in contact.
Wang: Good-bye and take care.
