Unit Thirteen
Signing Contract
(Two companies are signing the contract officially.)
Now, we have finally reached a basic agreement on the problems that needed to be worked out.
Both of our parties have made a great effort.
That’s true. But shall we sign the contract now?
Just a minute. Though every thing seems clear, to avoid arguing over some minor² problems in the days to come, we’d better have another check.
That’s a good idea. I really appreciate your conscientious³ attitude.
Thank you. In fact, your company enjoys high prestige⁴ as we know. That’s why we prefer to cooperate with your company.
It’s a great pleasure. I believe a better cooperation between us mostly comes from good will and confidence in each other.
That’s true. Ok, let’s go down to our business. Let’s check all the items to make sure no important items have been overlooked⁵.
Let’s start.
First of all, about the format⁶ of our contract. We have written the content both in Chinese and English. Therefore, they are equally authentic⁷ in terms of law.
Yes.
There are two of the original contracts. Here is a copy for you to check.
