听力原文：W: Good morning, Sunshine Speedboat Company. What can I do for you!

M: Good morning, can I speak to Nancy White？

W: Ah, Jacques, nice talking to you again. How's the weather in your part of the world？

M: Couldn't be better, Nancy. Sunny, 29℃, light breeze...

W: Stop! I can't take any more. I'm suffering the severe cold here.

M: Oh, terrible. Sorry to hear that Maybe you can come to join us; Susan is always expecting you.

W: Thank you, and Susan; she is always so kind. So, what can I do for you, Jacques？

M: I need a couple of your SB2000 speedboats to rent to guests. Can you give me a price quote？

W: Let me see... Uh, the list price is $6,500 U.S. You're a valued customer, so I'll give you a 10% discount.

M: That's very reasonable. Do you have them in stock？

W: Sure we do! We set up new inventory controls last year, so we don't have many backlogs any more.

M: That's good. The tourist season is just around the corner, so I need them pretty quick. What's the earliest shipping date you can manage？

W: They can be ready for shipment in 2-3 weeks.

M: Perfect. What's the total CIF price？

W: Hang on... The price will be $15,230 U.S. to your usual port. Do we have a deal？

M: You bet! Send me a fax with all the information, and I'll send you my order right away. I'll pay by irrevocable letter of credit, as usual. Same terms as always？

W: Of course.

M: Great! Nice doing business with you again, Nancy. Bye for now, and say hello to the family for me.

W: Will do, and the same goes for me. Bye, Jacques.
