　　B: Yes, i wonder if we can begin with shipment question first. We really need to come to an agreement on that before anything else.

　　A: That's true, but it's also a very difficult issue. That's the reason why i put it last. I thought it might be a good idea for us to start with the points we have in common. We'll move on to the shipment issue after that.
