Tom: Ah, there you are Paul! Come in, come in.
Paul: How are you, Kamal? So, what do you think of my idea to move into exporting?
Kamal: Well, the company’s present size doesn’t seem to offer much encouragement to expansion of that kind...
Tom: What did I tell you, Paul?
Kamal:... but that is no reason to throw the export idea out of the window. The bank might be able to do something. We are very keen on small, quality firms expanding. Exporting interests us. But finance is not the main problem.
