常用商務(wù)談判:商務(wù)談判英語(yǔ)實(shí)例[一]
    Dan Smith是一位美國(guó)的健身用品經(jīng)銷(xiāo)商,此次是Robert Liu第一回與他交手。就在短短幾分鐘的交談中,Robert Liu既感到這位大漢粗獷的外表,藏有狡兔的心思,他肯定是沙場(chǎng)老將,自己絕不可掉以輕心。雙方第一回過(guò)招如下:
    D: I’d like to get the ball rolling(開(kāi)始)by talking about prices.
    R: Shoot.(洗耳恭聽(tīng))I’d be happy to answer any questions you may have.
    D: Your products are very good. But I’m a little worried about the prices you’re asking.
    R: You think we about be asking for more?(laughs)
    D: (chuckles莞爾) That’s not exactly what I had in mind. I know your research costs are high, but what I’d like is a 25% discount.
    R: That seems to be a little high, Mr. Smith. I don’t know how we can make a profit with those numbers.
    D: Please, Robert, call me Dan. (pause) Well, if we promise future business――volume sales(大筆交易)――that will slash your costs(大量減低成本)for making the Exec-U-ciser, right?
    R: Yes, but it’s hard to see how you can place such large orders. How could you turn over so many? (pause) We’d need a guarantee of future business, not just a promise.
    D: We said we wanted 1000 pieces over a six-month period. What if we place orders for twelve months, with a guarantee?
    R: If you can guarantee that on paper, I think we can discuss this further.
