| Hello. This is Anderson Walker calling from BayView Realty. |
| The price you gave us for the rectangular nylon floor carpet looks good. |
| It costs $2 per square foot, right? |
| We'd like to order 400 square feet. |
| I'm sorry, Mr. Walker. |
| I'm afraid there has been a misunderstanding. |
| The price you mention, which is $2 per square foot, |
| is the wholesale price we offer our customers when they buy in bulk. |
| Which means? |
| Oh, that means that this price is only for customers ordering 1,000 square feet or more. |
| The regular retail price is $4 per square foot. |
| Whoa, that's an $800 difference. |
| The finance department won't approve of this purchase. |
| They have started to rein in the budget for office renovation projects this year. |
| Well, we also have polyester carpets. |
| They're just as durable, |
| and the price is $2 per square foot, which suits your budget. |
| Umm... Could you send us some samples? |
| I'd like to take a look at them. |
| Not a problem. |
