職場心經(jīng)

定金的性質(zhì)可以由當事人約定。當事人可以在合同中約定定金具有互不排斥的多重性質(zhì)。例如，對立約定金，當事人可以約定在正式訂立主合同后，定金不予以返還，而是轉(zhuǎn)而用作違約定金；對于成約定金、證約定金，亦可通過約定使其給付后同時具有違約定金性質(zhì)。

客戶希望交貨后付款，但是考慮到材料的支付費用和供貨方的資金周轉(zhuǎn)，雙方同意預(yù)付50％的貨款。

A：If it's OK with you, we would like payment prior to delivery, since this is your first order.

B：I understand why you like that way. We prefer payment after delivery, because these goods are highway robbery.

A：I know they are very expensive, but why does that mean you should pay after delivery?

B：It's a large order. If we give you advance payment, we'll get many troubles. It will take three or four months to sell the goods and start to make a profit.

A：I understand. But we must pay the suppliers for the materials in advance, and if we wait three or four months to get paid, we'll have a lot of troubles too.

B：Let's do it this way. We'll pay 30％ deposit of the invoice value by T/T, and then pay the rest of the amount by T/T after shipment is arrived.

A：Well, T/T 30％ deposit is a usual terms. However, just as you mentioned, it's a big order, we need more money to run the business. As you see, we have only moderate means at hand and the tie-up of funds for as long as three to four months indeed presents a problem to us.

B：OK, let's raise the deposit to 50％ of the invoice value.

A：如果可以的話，我們想讓你們在交貨之前付款，因為這是您們第一份訂單。

B：我明白為什么你們想這樣。因為這批貨價格十分昂貴，我們希望在交貨后付款。

A：我明白這批貨貨值很高，但為什么這樣您就得在交貨后付款呢？

B：這是一大筆訂單。如果我們先付款的話，我們就有很多麻煩了。我們得花三四個月的時間銷售這些貨然后才能盈利。

A：我明白。但我們得向供應(yīng)商預(yù)付材料的錢呀。如果我們要等三四個月才拿得到錢，我們也會有很多麻煩的。

B：那這樣吧，我們先電匯發(fā)票金額30％作為預(yù)付款，然后等貨到了后，再用電匯付其余的錢。

A：電匯30％的預(yù)付款是老規(guī)矩了。但像您所說的，這是一大筆訂單，我們需要更多的錢才能周轉(zhuǎn)。您知道我們手頭資金有限，占壓資金長達三四個月對我們來說是個問題。

B：好吧，那我們把預(yù)付款提高到發(fā)票金額的50％。

highway robbery價格昂貴

highway robbery的字面意思是“公路上的搶劫”。大家想想，在公路上被搶劫，前不著村，后不著店的，稍不小心，得罪了歹徒，就很可能會命喪黃泉。所以被搶的人當要拿出所有的錢來才有可能保住性命了。因此highway robbery后來引申為“價格昂貴”，常被用來形容詞。例如：That's high way robbery.（簡直是天價啊。）
