B: Well, I haven't made such arrangements with the factory yet. So I'd like to make sure if it is acceptable to the factory before making a commitment to you.
A: All right, but I'm busy. How long will it be before you can finish the talk?
B: I won't be too long, I suppose. Just let me ring them, will you?
A: Go ahead.
B: Thank you.
