外贸业务员现场过招[2]_商贸英语
lucky在前面的谈判中提出签约十年、提高单价和技术转让的要求,kevin会不会答应呢?如果答案是否定的话,lucky又有何打算?他一心为公司的利益谋划,极力争取技术转移的协定,而对方会甘心出让此项比金钱更珍贵的资产吗?
k: we can't sign any commitment for ten years. but if your production quality is good after the first year, we could extend the contract and increase our yearly purchase.
l: that sounds reasonable. but could you shed some light on (透露) the size of your orders?
k: if we are happy with your quality, we might increase our purchase to 100,000 a year, for a two-year period.
l: excuse me, mr. hughes, but it seems to me we're giving up too much in this case. we'd be giving up the five-year guarantee for increased yearly sales.
k: mr. lucky, you've got to give up something to get something.
l: if you're asking us to take such a large gamble (冒险) for just two year's sales, i'm sorry, but you're not in our ballpark (接受的范围)。
k: what would it take to keep pacer interested?
l: a three-year guarantee, not two. and a quality inspection(质量检查)tour after one year is fine, but we'd like some of our personnel on the team.
k: acceptable. anything else?
l: we'd be making huge capital outlay (资本支出) for the production process, so we'd like to set up a technology transfer agreement, to help us get off the ground (取得初步进步)。
行至此处,谈判都还算是在和谐的气氛下进行,双方各自寻求获利的方案。lucky 再次提出技术转移的要求,不知双方会有何种结论。
