職場心經(jīng)

補償貿(mào)易雙方的關(guān)系屬于國際貿(mào)易范疇內(nèi)買方與賣方的關(guān)系，買方對購進(jìn)的機器設(shè)備或技術(shù)知識等，擁有完全的所有權(quán)和使用權(quán)，賣方在工廠企業(yè)內(nèi)不占有股份。

實行補償貿(mào)易對買方來說可以解決資金、外匯的不足，并可利用機會開拓海外市場創(chuàng)匯；對賣方來說可擴大產(chǎn)品銷路，增加出口，并可獲得穩(wěn)定的供貨源。補償貿(mào)易的缺點是形式不太靈活，達(dá)成協(xié)議較難，手續(xù)較繁瑣，風(fēng)險較大。

場景應(yīng)用

得到利用中國沿海城市的廉價勞動力和優(yōu)惠政策在當(dāng)?shù)亻_展補償貿(mào)易的建議后，馬克權(quán)衡了其中的利弊，決定找一家合適的廠家進(jìn)行合作。

A：Why don't you take advantage of the cheaper labor and the preferential policies in Chinese coastal areas?

B：In what way, please?

A：You may produce car fittings in Chinese coastal areas and sell them there and to other Asian countries. This can be done on the basis of compensation trade.

B：But does the Chinese government impose restrictions of any form on such type of business?

A：Not likely. I think such forms of trade will go over big, because it helps to create jobs and earn foreign exchange.

B：I see.

A：I think compensation trade suites you fine. You could provide Chinese coastal areas with the machines and get compensated by the car fittings produced.

B：Thank you very much for the information. I'd like to find a good factory to produce there on compensation trade basis.

A：你們何不采用中國沿海地區(qū)的廉價勞動力和優(yōu)惠政策？

B：但是，中國政府對這種方式的貿(mào)易有無限制？

由于外匯短缺，秦先生想用補償貿(mào)易的方式購進(jìn)對方的設(shè)備，雙方對所涉及的問題進(jìn)行了簡單地探討以便了解開展貿(mào)易的可能性。

A：Glad to meet you, Mr. Nash. The purpose of inviting you to come here is to discuss the purchase of some long wall coal cutters.

B：Good. What do you think about our coal cutters?

A：They are a bit better than the coal cutters purchased from other countries. But your price is skyrocketing. And much higher than those from other countries.

B：Well, but I think you shouldn't only consider the price, but also efficiency.

A：As a matter of fact, we are satisfied with the efficiency of your cutters, but being short of foreign exchange, we must plan our purchases according to our means.

B：Then, can we consider the possibility of undertaking compensation trade?

A：OK. We'd be happy to negotiate with you for such a deal. Which do you prefer, buy-back or counter purchase?

B：I think that buy-back is easier. Since we often import a lot of coal from abroad, you can pay for the coal cutters with the coal produced by them.

A：That sounds very promising. Do you wish to have a total compensation trade or a partial one?

B：It depends very much upon your payment capability. In other words, the more you can produce in a given period of time, the sooner you will be able to pay for the cutters.

A：I understand the whole process. As for us, it's better to do total compensation trade.

B：Total compensation trade may be good for both of us.

A：We would like to know how long it will take to complete the payment.

B：Of course, the sooner the better.

A：May I remind you of your responsibilities for technical assistance, the performance of the machines and finally, a smooth and successful start-up.

B：Certainly we'll fulfill our obligations.

A：很高興見到你，納什先生。這次請你來想談?wù)勯L臂采煤機的進(jìn)口問題。

B：好啊，你覺得我們的采煤機怎么樣？

A：跟其他國家進(jìn)口的采煤機相比，還算先進(jìn)點兒。不過你們的價格漲得太快了。比其他國家的價格高得多。

B：哦，我認(rèn)為你不應(yīng)只考慮價格，還要看它的生產(chǎn)效率。

A：說實在的，我們對你方機器的生產(chǎn)效率還算滿意，但是我們的外匯比較緊張，我們必須根據(jù)我們的財力狀況來安排購買。

B：那么我們能不能考慮采用補償貿(mào)易方式呢？

A：可以，這對我們來說是件好事。你愿意接受回購方式，還是互購方式？

B：我想回購更容易些，因為我們常進(jìn)口煤，你們用由我們的機器采的煤來償付機器的貨款就行了。

A：這聽起來蠻不錯的，你希望用全額補償，還是部分補償？

B：這就要看你們的支付能力了。換句話說，你們在一定時期內(nèi)采的煤越多，你們償付采煤機的貨款也就越快。

A：我明白整個交易過程。對于我們來說，最好還是使用全額補償。

B：全額補償對雙方來說都不錯。

A：那么需要多長時間償還呢？

B：當(dāng)然是越快越好。

A：我想提醒你一下，貴方對機器的性能、技術(shù)協(xié)助，及最后保證順利投產(chǎn)都應(yīng)負(fù)責(zé)到底。

B：我們一定會履行自己的義務(wù)的。
