场景二:包装、支付方式、保险等条款
A:---,we have decided the price, now let’s get down to some detail requirements of the products you order. First, we’d like to know how you would like the flowers are packed.
B: For No.10 ,each bunch of flower should be packed in a clear transparent plastic bag(透明塑料袋) ,each bag to a paper box, 100 boxes to a carton(纸板箱) require the plastic bags should be in 7 different colors, and the quality of each bag should be grade AAA with degree of transparency(透明度) of 100%.
A: Grade AAA is large spend for us, we can’t meet your standard. The most we can do is to use gradeA. If you insist, we have to take 15 cents extra charge for
each bag.
B: If you can guarantee the quality and make sure each bunch of flower to reach customers without defections(缺点), I can agree that.
A: Please don’t worry,---,we can guarantee.

A:It will be a waste of wood,if you use box and case at the same can use wood blocks to separate the flowerpots.
B:No,I can’t having no case packing, the flowers are inconvenient to convey and easy to be please do as I say.
A: what’s the requirement for shiping marks?
B:We need cartons and wooden boxes painting our company name for short,loading port and of course,some indication marks,such as fragile,keeping upright should be put on. A:Anything more?
B:I think no more. That’s all.
A:I get it. For package,it’s setttled. Then let’s discuss something about payment. As you know for the first time we deal with business we usually accept letter of credit.
B:Letter of credit is very complex and inconvenient, I hope you can change it to remittance. That will be more flexible.
A:No, we can’t accept that. Though you are right, remittance is flexible, for us,it has more risk. It’s the policy in our company that we have to accept L/C when we are in business for the first time.
B:But I’m afraid that if there’s many times of remedy for L/C,it will waste a
lot of time, and we can’t get the flowers on the best occasion to sell. Then how about D/P?
A:Sorry,---. We have to obey the regulation.
B:But who will take the loss when you delay our time to sell the flowers?
A:Perhaps. Then I have to go against the policy. 70% of the sales money should be paid by L/C, the balance by D/P. We can’t go further.
B:Ok. What bank will be suitable for your negotiation?
A:Bank of China quanzhou branch.
B:Sorry, we have no business with bank of China,we usually choose HSBC for negotiation bank in China.
A:That will be inconvenient for us. To draw the money, we have to go to xiamen.
B:We will allow HSBC to transit its transaction to BOC. Is that ok? A:Alright.
切换场景 A给B端一杯咖啡…..
our spend. We usually commence 110% of invoice value.
B:No, we need that. It’s usual our practice and none of trade companies have ever refused it.
A:Let’s put the markup to 15%, reaching a middle ground, alright? B:At least 20%.
A:Ok, 20%. And talk about document instructions?
B:Full set of documents of ocean bill of lading in 3 orinigals and 5 copies, insurance policy, certificate original, and certificate of inspection, all certificate should mark credit number. A:Get it. Any more?
B:It seems all are included.
A:Let me check. Price, package, payment, insurance, documents. Yes ,all are well negotiated. Please have a look.---
B: (仔细看了下)All have been in the list. A:(起身,伸出手,同---握手)Thank you,---. I hope this is a very excellent begin of our business.
B: You have mentioned your price is based on CIF Sydney, but now we find that Sydney port not suitable for us to take the delivery. We’d like to change it to Melpomene[mel’pɔmini:].
A:I’m afraid that there’s no direct voyage to Melpomene. If so, we have to deliver the flowers in transshipment. B:Transshipment is not allowed,neither is partial shipment. Perhaps you arrange it by charter.
A:No,---,it’s a big cost. We can’t do that. If you can undertake part of the charter fees, we can manage that. B:Is Perth ok?
A:Perth is a good choice. Do you have any other requirement?
B:We also need the insurance to be effected for 130% of the invoice value covering all risks as per ICC.
A:130% and all risks? That will increase
