W: Good afternoon, International Trades Center Exhibition Services. How can I help?
M: Oh, hello, I"d like some information about the exhibiting at the International Automobile Show.
W: The auto show? So, what would you like to know?
M: First, can you give me an idea of how big the fair is?
W: Well, 121 companies had stands last year. And that figure should be up to 140 this time.
M: Sorry, how many?
W: 140.
M: What about visitor numbers?
W: Over the two days, we had 16,500 visitors. So withmore stands, we"d hope for more people this time.
M: And, where did they typically come from?
W: About 57% were from overseas, America, and Europe, Japan, Singapore and South Korea. The remained were local people.
M: That"s interesting. Now, a few practical questions. We"re thinking of taking a stand of about 45 square metres. How much will that cost us?
W: $400 per square metre.
M: Sorry, can you give me the cost again?
W: Yes, it"s $400. So if you"re looking at 45 square metres, it would be... let me see... $18,000. But that"s just the cost for a basic stand.
M: What does the price include?
W: You get a listing in the catalogue in both Chinese and English, some basic furnture, a desk and four chairs, and electricity and lighting.
M: So... anything else would be extra , like a poster?
W: That"s right.
