1 Establishing Business Relations

建立业务关系

Brief Introduction

建立业务关系，实际上就是确定贸易对象。贸易对象选择得合适与否，决定着贸易的成败。在一般情况下，双方通过各自的介绍或第三者的介绍，先摸清对方的资金信用、经营能力和业务范围等重要条件，然后再进行实质性的业务商讨。贸易双方只有在相互了解、彼此信赖的基础上，才能进行积极地合作，并使双方贸易活动得以顺利地开展。

B: What would you like, tea or coffee?

A: I’d prefer coffee if you don’t mind.

B: Is it your first trip to the Fair, Mr. Brown?

A: No, it’s the fourth time.

-- 下午好！我是布朗先生，是澳大利亚悉尼大西洋工业有限公司进口部经理。这是我的名片。

-- 布朗先生，下午好！我是安德森女士，销售部的经理。

-- 见到你很高兴，安德森女士。

-- 布朗先生，我也很高兴见到你，请坐。

-- 谢谢。

不，这是第四次了。

B: Good. Is there anything you find changed about the Fair?

A: Yes, a great deal. The business scope has been broadened, and there are more visitors than ever before.

B: Really, Mr. Brown? Did you find anything interesting?

A: Oh, yes. Quite a bit. But we are especially interested in your products.

Dialogue 2

A: I’m glad to have the opportunity of visiting your corporation. I hope to conclude some substantial business with you.

B: It’s a great pleasure to meet you, Mr. Brown. I believe you have seen our exhibits in the showroom. May I know what particular items you’re interested in?

A: I’m interested in your hardware. I’ve seen the exhibits and studied your catalogues. I think some of the items will find a ready market in Canada. Here is a list of my requirements, for which I’d like to have your lowest quotations, C.I.F. Vancouver.

-- 我很高兴有这个机会参观你们公司。我希望能与您谈下大笔生意。

-- 很高兴见到您，布朗先生。我想您已经看过我们展示厅里的产品了。可否知道您具体对哪些商品感兴趣？

A: I’ll do that. Meanwhile, could you give me an indication of price?

B: Here are our F.O.B. price lists. All the prices in the lists are subject to our confirmation.

A: What about the commission? From European suppliers I usually get a 3 to 5 percent commission for my imports. It’s the general practice.

B: As a rule we don’t allow any commission. But if the order is a substantial one, we’ll consider it.

A: You see, but I do business on a commission basis. A commission on your prices would make it easier for me to promote sales. Even two or three percent would help.

B: That’s something we can discuss later.

-- 感谢您的询价。您能告诉我们您需要的数量以便我们报价吗？

-- 我会的，同时你能给我一个估计价格吗？

-- 这是我们的离岸价单，里面所有的价格都以我方确认为准。

-- 一般来说，我们不允许任何佣金。但是如果订单数量可观，我们会考虑的。

-- 但我是在佣金的基础上做生意的。你们在价格上提供佣金将使我推销产品更加容易一些。即使2%或3%也是可以的。-- 这个问题我们可以以后再讨论。

Dialogue 3

A: When can I have your firm C.I.F. prices, that is to say, the final offer, Mr. London?

A: Yes. I’ll be here tomorrow morning at 10.

B: Perfect. Our offer remains open for 3 days.

A: I don’t need that long to make up my mind. If your prices are agreeable and if I can get the commission I want, I can place the order right away.

B: I’m sure you’ll find our price most favorable. Elsewhere prices for hardware have gone up tremendously in recent years. Our prices haven’t changed much.

-- 伦敦先生，什么时候能给我你们公司确认的到岸价格，那就是，最后的报价？

-- 我们将在今晚制定出来，明天早上让你拿到。到时你有时间过来吗？

-- 可以，明天早上10点我过来这里。

-- 太好了，我们的报价三天有效。

9

-- 我不需要那么长时间来做决定。如果你们提供的价格合适，而且如果我能得到我想要的佣金，我可以立即下订单。

-- 你会发现我们的价格是最优惠的。近几年来，其他地方五金的价格上涨幅度很大，而我们的价格变化不大。

A: I’m glad to hear that. As I’ve just said, I hope to conclude some substantial business with you.

B: We shall be very pleased. Is there anything else I can do for you, Mrs. Anderson?

A: I’m buying for chain department stores in Canada. They are also interested in Egyptian carpets. Could you introduce me to the person in charge of this line?

B: Certainly, I’ll make an appointment for you with Mr. Jordan of the Egypt National Native Produce and Animal By-products Import and Export Corporation.

A: Thank you very much.

-- 那太好了。正如我刚才所说的，我希望与你们做成一些大买卖。

-- 我们也很高兴。我还能为您做点其他什么吗，安德森女士？

-- 我为加拿大的连锁百货店选购货物。他们还对埃及地毯很感兴趣。你们能为我介绍做这行的人吗？

-- 当然可以。我会为您和乔丹先生预约一下，他是埃及国家土畜产进出口公司的。

-- 非常感谢你们。
