今天robert的办公室出现了一个生面孔――kevin hughes,此人代表美国一家运动产品公司,专程来台湾寻找加工。接洽的加工产品市运动型“磁质石膏护垫”,受伤的运动员包上这种产品上场比赛,即可保护受伤部位,且不妨碍活动。现在,我们就来看看两人的会议现况:

k: mr. robert liu, we've looked all over asia for a manufacturer; your company is one of the most suitable. 4 p- ^' \2 }! H2 B; B9 v" V
r: if we can settle a number of basic questions, i'm confident in saying that we are the most suitable for your needs.
( _ N3 u4 J b0 H k: i hope so. and what might be the basic questions you have?
8 J4 M" y2 ~8 g r: first, do you intend to take a position in(投资于……)our company? ) H! e2 _0 M+ N4 o
k: no, we don't, mr. liu. this is just oem.
6 f+ \0 i/ f4 @1 G6 P: C- O r: i see. then, the most important thing is the size of your orders. we'll have to invest a great deal of money in the new production process.
( x ^9 f4 d \ k: if you can guarantee continuing quality, we can sign a commitment for 75,000 pieces a year, for five years.
# N, e" `% c8 Y' U7 r9 i r: at u.s. $1000 a piece, we'll make an average return of just 4%. that's too great a financial burden for us.
4 {: d2 I! r0 v @' d3 R k: i'll check the number later, but what do you propose? r: here's how you can demonstrate commitment to this deal. make it ten years, increase the unit price, and provide technology transfer. |
