DANNY MCNEIL: Before we begin, are you sure that you are in a position to conduct this negotiation?

丹尼.麥克內(nèi)爾：在開始前，我想問一下你確定你可以進行這次談判嗎?

EDWARD GREEN: Yes, I have the authority to negotiate with you.

愛德華.格林：是的，我有跟你談判的授權(quán)。

DANNY MCNEIL: Right. Let' s get down to business.

丹尼.麥克內(nèi)爾：好。那我們就辦正事吧。

EDWARD GREEN: Which of our product lines are you particularly interested in Mr. McNeil?

丹尼.麥克內(nèi)爾：物品對這些劃線的感興趣。

But I want to hear what you say about discounts.

但我要聽聽你給什么樣的優(yōu)惠。

EDWARD GREEN: Let' s talk specifically about Big Boss.

愛德華.格林：那我們就具體用“大老板”來談吧。

DANNY MCNEIL: Let' s be clear about one thing.

丹尼.麥克內(nèi)爾：我們先要明確一件事情。

I hope you realize that we must have a much larger discount than what' s on the table now.

我希望你認識到我們要的優(yōu)惠比現(xiàn)在擺在桌面的要大的多。

EDWARD GREEN: I think the discount problem can be resolved but you need to be more precise about numbers.

愛德華.格林：我認為優(yōu)惠的問題是可以解決的，但你得大具體的購貨量明確一下。

DANNY MCNEIL: Fair enough.

丹尼.麥克內(nèi)爾：很公平。

What kind of discount are you offering on ten thousand units?

你們給1萬件的優(yōu)惠是多少?

EDWARD GREEN: On ten thousand units, Mr. Mcneil, I can offer a discount of thirty percent.

愛德華.格林：麥克內(nèi)爾先，1萬件的話，我能給的優(yōu)惠是30%。

But I can' t offer more

但不能再多了……

DANNY MCNEIL: 30 per cent!

丹尼.麥克內(nèi)爾：30 %!

EDWARD GREEN: Just let me finish, 30 percent, but with a guarantee of delivery within two months.

愛德華.格林：請讓我說完，優(yōu)惠是30%，但我們保證兩個月內(nèi)交貨。

DANNY MCNEIL: Delivery must be within two months or I' m not interested.

丹尼.麥克內(nèi)爾：交貨必須是兩個月內(nèi)，或則我也沒興趣了。

I' m offering you the chance to make a very large sale and you are turning it down because we' re...

我在向你提供大批量銷售的機會，你卻拒絕了，因為們……

I haven' t turned anything down.

我沒有拒絕任何事。

I haven' t said "no".

DANNY MCNEIL: But...

Our standard unit price to the wholesaler is 23.5.

我們給批發(fā)商的標準單價是23.5。

EDWARD GREEN: Yes, I know that Mr. McNeil.

愛德華.格林：是的，麥克內(nèi)爾先生，我知道。

If you buy 40,000 units, then I can offer a unit price of 19.5.

愛德華.格林：以我們給出的單價，你將會很有競爭力。

DANNY MCNEIL: 19.5 unit price?

丹尼.麥克內(nèi)爾：單價19.5?

愛德華.格林：如果你買4萬件的話，這樣優(yōu)惠就是……

DON BRADLEY: Don Bradley.

愛德華.格林：變的有點難，我們還在訂購“大老板”的量上。

He wants a unit price of 19.5 on an order of 25,000. 他想要19.5，買的量是2.5萬件。

DON BRADLEY: That sounds good to me.

堂.布拉德利：我覺得不錯。

When he starts banging on the table, that' s as far as you can go with him.

如果他開始敲桌子的話，那就是你能做的極限了。

Good luck! 祝你好運!

EDWARD GREEN: Thanks. So let' s clarify the position so far.

愛德華.格林：謝謝。那么我們明確一下我們現(xiàn)在為止的處境。

As far as Big Boss is concerned we have agreed on a unit price of 20 for 30,000, and I can' t go below that price for an order of this size.

僅就“大老板” 我們同意給20的單價，但要購買3萬件，對這樣的訂購量我不可能低于這個數(shù)。

Now let' s look at terms of payment.

EDWARD GREEN: I' m sorry Mr. Mcneil, but that' s completely unacceptable.

愛德華.格林：對不起 麥克內(nèi)爾先生，不過這完全不可接受。

Our standard policy on discounts of over thirty percent is payment within thirty days of delivery.

我們對于超過30%的優(yōu)惠的優(yōu)惠政策通常是交貨后30天之內(nèi)。

DANNY MCNEIL: This is not a standard situation.

丹尼.麥克內(nèi)爾：但這不是個通常情況。

I am making a very large order...

我訂購的貨量很大……

EDWARD GREEN: Can I just come in here, Mr. Mcneil?

愛德華.格林：麥克內(nèi)爾先，我能插兩句嗎?

I know you' re making a large order but you are also getting an excellent product at a very large discount.

我知道你的訂購量很大，但你也是以很大的優(yōu)惠獲得一件很棒的產(chǎn)品。

DANNY MCNEIL: I can' t believe that this is your final offer.

丹尼.麥克內(nèi)爾：真不能相信，這就是你們的最終報價。

EDWARD GREEN: If you order 35,000 then I can authorise payment in 90 days.

愛德華.格林：如果你訂購3.5萬件，我可以授權(quán)90天內(nèi)付款。

DANNY MCNEIL: We have already decided on quantity.

丹尼.麥克內(nèi)爾：我們已經(jīng)決定了數(shù)量。

This is my last offer. 30,000 at 60 days payment.

這是我的最后出價：3萬件，60天內(nèi)付款。

Take it or leave it.

要么接受要么一拍兩散。

EDWARD GREEN: I think that offer will be acceptable.

愛德華.格林：我認為這個出價可以接受。
