要做成一樁生意，下訂單也是很重要的一個環(huán)節(jié)，我們來看看Leslie是怎樣做成這份訂單的。
Leslie: How are you this afternoon?
今天下午過得如何?
Paul: Just fine. I looked over the catalog you gave me this morning, and I'd
like to discuss prices on your computer
speakers.
還好。今天早上我已經(jīng)詳細看過你給我的目錄了。我想討論一下你們計算機揚聲器的價格。
Leslie: Very good. Here is our price list.
好的。這是我們的價目表。
Paul: Let me see…. I see that your listed price for the K-two-one model is
ten US dollars. Do you offer quantity discounts?
我看看。你們K-2-1
型的標價是美金十塊錢。大量訂購的話，有折扣嗎？
Leslie: We sure do. We give a five percent discount for orders of a hundred
or more.
當然有。100 或以上的訂單我們有百分之五的折扣。
Paul: What kind of discount could you give me if I were to place an order for
six hundred units?
如果我下六百的訂單，你們可以給我什么樣的折扣？
Leslie: On an order of six hundred, we can give you a discount of ten
percent.
六百的話，我們可以給你百分之十的折扣。
Paul: What about lead time?
交貨時間呢?
Leslie: We could ship your order within ten days of receiving your
payment.
在收到貨款的十天內(nèi)，我們就可以把貨送出去。
Paul: So, you require payment in advance of shipment?
那么，你們是要提前付款的?
Leslie: Yes. You could wire transfer the payment into our bank account or
open a letter of credit in our favor.
是的。你可以匯款到我們的銀行帳戶，或是開一個以我們公司為抬頭的信用狀。
Paul: I'd like to go ahead and place an order for six hundred
units.
那我想就先下六百的訂單。
Leslie: Great! I'll just fill out the purchase order and have you sign
it.
好極了! 我馬上寫訂購單并請你簽名。
