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.

Discussing prices and terms of payment

Stanley:
Good morning, Mr. Borisov.
Borisov:
Good morning, Mr. Stanley.
Stanley:
Happy to meet you again.
Borisov:
The pleasure is mine. Let's get down to business. I'd like to start with the price. Mr. Stanley, I 'm sorry to say it is not acceptable to us. We think you have quoted a very high price.
Stanley:
Oh, ... per unit is quite a reasonable price. As you know we have improved the model. And besides the price includes export packing.
Borisov:
Yes, we know that. But we also know that the prices on the world market for this type of pumps are lower than yours.
Stanley:
But the quality of our pumps is higher and we’ve delivered a lot of pumps to different countries of the world at this price.
Borisov:
And still, Mr. Stanley, we find the price a bit high. I'd like to stress that it's our trial order with your company and if we are satisfied with our transaction you can expect repeat orders from us.
Stanley:
Well, the only thing we can do is to give you a discount of 2% off the value of the contract.
Borisov:
Fine. That settles the price problem.
Stanley:
And how about the manner of payment? I hope payment by a Letter of Credit against shipping documents will suit you.
Borisov:
Yes, it will.
Stanley:
Good. You are to open a L/C with the Moscow Narodny Bank after our Notification of the Readiness of the goods for shipment.
Borisov:
All right. One more thing, Mr. Stanley. Our people would like to visit your manufacturing plant, if it is possible.
Stanley:
No problem. We can easily arrange it and I myself will take you there. We'll do our best to make your visit useful.
Borisov:
Thank you, Mr. Stanley.
Stanley:
Thank you, Mr. Borisov. We are looking forward to establishing good business relations with your company. You are welcome to our company any time.

A visit to the plant
When Mr. Stanley and the Russian engineers arrived in Glasgow they hired a taxi to the Central Hotel where Mr. White, the production manager of the plant, had reserved accommodation for them.
At a quarter to 9 Mr. White's car picked them up at the hotel and took them to the plant. Mr. Stanley introduced Mr. Borisov and Mr. Kozin to Mr. White and told him that the Russian engineers wanted to see the production shops of the plant.
White:
If you like I can show you round the whole plant, so that you can get a good idea of the range of our products.
Borisov:
We’d be delighted to, if it doesn’t take too much of your time!
White:
I'll be happy to help you and answer any of your queries. I'll lead the way.
(In the plant.)
White:
This is the assembly shop and here you can see the finished products. We produce pumps of high capacity for different applications. Look, here is the latest model. We modified it last year.
Borisov:
How does it compare with the previous model?
White:
That's a good question. It's easier to operate and more reliable as compared with the previous model. Besides, its capacity is higher than the capacity of the pumps of other companies. We export this model to many countries of the world.
Stanley:
I say, John, Mr. Borisov told me on our way here that he wanted to see your test department as well. Is it possible?
White:
Yes, of course. We thoroughly test every pump and we've had very good reports from the customers both in our country and abroad. This is where we test our pumps. In fact they are starting a test. If you want to see the test we must go to the shop right now not to miss it.
