Purchasing Department

 

The purchasing department director of a large retailer in the Parisian region 【2】asks his secretary to bring in a representative. The representative takes a seat. The director leans back a little in his big airmchair, with a large cigar in his hand. He says in a deep, dry voice:

“Do you know that you are a little bit lucky? I refused to see twenty representatives today!”

“I know. This is the twenty-first time this morning that I've asked to be called.”

 

采購部

巴黎地區一家大型零售店的采購總管讓秘書請一位銷售員進來。銷售員坐下後，總管略微倚在他的大扶手椅上，手裏夾著一支粗雪茄，低沉而沙啞地說：

“你知道你有點兒運氣嗎？今天我已經拒絕了二十位銷售員的見麵請求！”

“我知道。這是今早以來我第二十一次請求與您見麵了。“
