　　你能給我講一下你們產品的詳細情況嗎？
　　沒問題，我很榮幸。我先告訴你這樣一個事實：由于我們產品采用了先進的技術，現在我們在競爭中遙遙領先。
　　你指的是什么先進技術？
　　設計方面的技術。我來展示下這個鉸鏈是如何工作的…這是我們申請了專利的設計圖。你在其它任何地方也找不到類似的東西。我們獨家生產這種技術產品。
　　這個設計圖你們已經申請專利了？
　　沒錯。這個裝置是我們設計組多年研究的結果。因為是我們想出的這個設計，所以我們獨家生產。我們擁有設計圖和獨特的機械裝置。這全是我們自己想出來的。
　　這種產品真的比目前市場上其它產品好嗎？
　　如果這個產品不像我所說的那樣好，那我們還用申請專利嗎？但是你不一定要非相信我的話，自己試試就知道了！
