当时是来自trade big的一封询盘：很简短，但是看得出不是套价客户。 pls send us your sales and delivery terms as well as catalogues and price lists. b.regards we would you like to know other information 当时，我没有报价，只是把详细的catalogue发了过去，并且询问了一下对方公司的情况（sorry i he lost the mail）提出了一些问题例如最小定量，是否能一次柜。目标市场是哪里，能否接受付款方式。并且把网站给他，要他把感兴趣的item no告诉我。当时客户就给我发了封： dear mr lau,
