Richard said that the high-speed assembly line was designed and made by their engineers and technicians. Then Thomas wondered how much the factory spent on new product development every year and how soon the order would be delivered. Richard told him that 8% to 10% of the gross sales was spent on new product development. He also said that delivery of new products depended on the size of the order and the items. Finally, Thomas asked Richard to give him some brochures on the products because he wanted his manager to know about them. Richard also said that Thomas’s manager would be welcome to visit the factory.

The reason being that, first, form products do not generally sell at a high price so we have to keep production costs down. Secondly, taxes are fairly high at present and we have less support from the government, so our incomes are decreasing. That’s why I think the price is my greatest concern. On the other hand, if we can improve quality by buying better seeds and improving our handing methods, we can sell at a premium.

All the prices are subject to our final confirmation.B: By the way, do you allow any commission?A: Well, our prices are quoted on an FOB net basis. As a rule, we don’t allow any commission.B: But you know, we’re a commissioned agent. We do business on a commission basis. Commission transactions will surely help to push the sales of your products.A: Yet your order is really not largeenough.B: What quantity would you consider to be a large order?A: USD 500 000 or above.B: Wow, really substantial. Well, My Chen, this is our first transaction. Can you be more flexible and offer us more favorable terms? It might be possible for us to establish a long-term relationship.A: OK. We would grant you a 3% commission if you place an order of USD 400 000.B: We appreciate your concession very much. However, we can usually get a 5% commission from our European suppliers.A: Mr. Green, our price itself is already favorable. It’s for our long-term business relationship that we make this exception. This is the best we can do.B: All right, we’ll have to accept it.3. A: Mr. Wright, here is our offer for 5000 metric tons of Grade A red beans, USD175 per metric ton, CIFC5% Rotterdam.B: Your price is on the high side, Mr. Zhang. It’s impossible for us to conclude any transactions at this price. A: I don’t know why you think so. Frankly speaking, we wouldn’t quote you such a low price if you were not our regular customer. I bet you cannot get such a favorable price from other suppliers.B: We got an offer from a Thailand supplier yesterday. Their price is 3% lower.A: You must take the quality of the red beans into consideration. Every one in this trade is well aware that Chinese Grade A red beans is of superior quality. So the price of Grade A commodities of course must be higher than those ofinferior quality. Besides, there is a strong demand for Grade A red beans.A lot of orders are pouring in from all over the world. Most of the importers think that our offer is reasonable. I believe you’ll make a profit buying at this price.4. A: Your price is 5% higher than that of the last transaction.B: You know production cost has increased a great deal recently. We also need to consider upward trends when we fix the price.A: But it will be very difficult for us to persuade our clients to buy at such a price. You’ll have to reduce your price by at least 10%.B: Your counter-offer is far beyond my reach. We can’t stand such a big cut. A: We make this counter-offer based on the offers from other suppliers. We made enquiries to several suppliers atthe same time and found that your price is higher than the other suppliers.B: Could we just put this problem aside? Could you give me an idea of the size of your order first?A: It will largely depend on the price you offer. If you could make a 10% reduction, we would place an immediate order of 100 000 pieces.B: All right. Shall we move together? We’ll reduce the price by 7% on the condition that you increase your order to 200 000 pieces. This is our rock bottom price.A: Ok. Let’s call it a deal.Unit 31.A: We’ve received your enquiry, Mr.Smith. But we are sorry to tell you that the goods you asked about are out of stock. You’ll have to wait for two months.B: Two months is far too long. Our customers need the goods urgently.A: There is nothing we can do. Our products have been well received due to their high quality and reasonable prices. So demands often exceed supplies. Though we have tried to speed up production, we still cannot meet the increasing demand. So I’d like to recommend to you the HRF-279.B: Our clients are familiar with GBS-112, but not HRF-279. How do I know that it will sell well in our market?A: Don’t worry. The HRF-279 has been selling well in Europe and in Southeast Asian countries in recent years. I’m sure it will have a ready market at your end.B: I hope so.2.(On the phone)A: We have received your sample and are very satisfied with it. We plan to place a trial order for 5000 sets.

Are you thinking of placing an order for some bicycles?A: I’m considering placing an order for 50 000 units if your price is fair.UNIT 41.A: When shall we open the L/C?B: The L/C must reach us one month before shipment. Since the goods are supplied from stock, you’d better open the L/C as soon as possible, otherwise it may delay the shipment.A: shipment, it’ll tie up our money. Would 15 days do?B: I’m afraid not. It’ll take us a lot of time to get the goods ready and book shipping space.

It’ll tie up our money to open an L/C.B: I quite understand your position. But the problem is that the world economic situation is going downward and the financial market is fluctuating. We have to do business on an L/C basis so as to guarantee payment.A: Then could you accept 50% payment by L/C and the balance by D/P?B: Sorry, we are not in a position to do that, yet we could offer you more favorable terms of delivery instead.

Richard told him that 8% to 10% of the gross sales was spent on new product development. He also said that delivery of new products depended on the size of the order and the items. Finally, Thomas asked Richard to give him some brochures on the products because he wanted his manager to know about them.

The reason being that, first, form products do not generally sell at a high price so we have to keep production costs down. Secondly, taxes are fairly high at present and we have less support from the government, so our incomes are decreasing. That’s why I think the price is my greatest concern. On the other hand, if we can improve quality by buying better seeds and improving our handing methods, we can sell at a premium. That could increase our income.Part Ⅵ1.(1) c (2) a (3) c (4) b (5) c2.Agents need to be paid for their work.

Richard told him that 8% to 10% of the gross sales was spent on new product development. He also said that delivery of new products depended on the size of the order and the items. Finally, Thomas asked Richard to give him some brochures on the products because he wanted his manager to know about them.

Richard said that the high-speed assembly line was designed and made by their engineers and technicians.

Richard told him that 8% to 10% of the gross sales was spent on new product development. He also said that delivery of new products depended on the size of the order and the items. Finally, Thomas asked Richard to give him some brochures on the products because he wanted his manager to know about them.

The reason being that, first, form products do not generally sell at a high price so we have to keep production costs down. Secondly, taxes are fairly highat present and we have less support from the government, so our incomes are decreasing. That’s why I think the price is my greatest concern. On the other hand, if we can improve quality by buying better seeds and improving our handing methods, we can sell at a premium.
