Hi Giovanni: The bnode for the price specification cannot be omitted, because the price includes at least the currency and the amount, but also maybe validity, unit, and quantity information. The company node is needed, because if you omit the gr:offers link from the company to the offer, then you do no longer know whether this is - supply (someone offering it, via gr:offers) or - demand (someone seeking such an offering, via gr:seeks). Note that this minimal model is fully compliant with the larger Semantic Web / Linked Data ecosystem, so it does not require any premature optimizations that would break at a larger scale.
