Quick Drying Paint And Licensing Negotiations
內容大綱

Sam Paint owns and operates the largest wholesale paint business in southern Arizona. Although he sells a variety of house-paint products, he is best known for his quick-drying paint, a process he developed and patented in the United States twelve years ago.
