Kim: Welcome to our company. My name is Jeff Kim. I’m in charge of the export department. Let me give you my business card.
Smith: I’ll give you mine too.
Kim: How was your flight.
Smith: Not bad, but I’m little tired.
Kim: Here’s your schedule. After this meeting, we will visit the factory and have another meeting with the production manager. And you’ll be having dinner with our director.
外贸知识Smith: Could you arrange a meeting with your boss?
Kim: Of course, I’ve arranged it at 10 o’clock tomorrow morning.
Smith: Well, shall we get down to business?
Kim: Sure, did you receive the sample we sent last week?
Smith: Yes, we finished the evaluation of it. If the price is acceptable we would like to order now.
Kim: I’m very glad to hear that.
Smith: What’s your best price for that item?
Kim: The unit price is $12.50.
Smith: I think the price is a little high, can’t you reduce it?
Kim: I’m afraid we can’t. $12.50 is our rock bottom price. If you purchase more than 10,000 units we can reduce it to $12.00.
Smith: Well, I’ll accept the price and place an initial order of 10,000 units.
Kim: Very good. It’s been a pleasure to do business with you, Mr. Smith.
Smith: The pleasure is ours. Can you deliver the goods by March 31?
Kim: Of course.
