Discussing contract terms
Mr. Blake studied the Buyer’s contract terms and on Tuesday he came to the Russian Trade Delegation to discuss it with Mr. Voronin.
Voronin: Good morning, Mr. Blake.
Blake: Good morning, Mr. Voronin.
Voronin: May I offer you a cup of coffee?
Blake: Yes, thank you. Well, Mr. Voronin, I think we can discuss business now. I'd like to clarify some details with you. How many machines would you like to buy?
Voronin: We can buy 40 machines.
Blake: And when do you require the goods?
Voronin: As soon as possible, say, in December.
Blake: In December? Let me see. I'm afraid, that's impossible. Our machines are selling very well, and we are heavy with orders. We can deliver only 15 units in December.
Voronin: And what about the other 25 units?
Blake: We can deliver them only in 6 months.
Voronin: All right. And how about the terms of delivery? I hope they suit you.
Blake: Yes, we agree to sell the goods FOB English port and we can accept payment for collection too.
Voronin: Fine. Now comes the question of price. I must say that your price is not attractive to us. Can you give us a 10% discount?
Blake: That's a bit difficult. The fact is our machines are in great demand at this price. However we can offer you a discount of 5% as we've been good partners for a long time.
Voronin: I think we can agree to a 5% discount. Could we meet tomorrow at 10 to sign the contract?
Blake: Yes, certainly. Good buy.
Voronin: Good buy. See you tomorrow.
