商务谈判：久经沙场的老将初次过招,http://www.dxs51.com

　　Dan Smith是一位美国的健身用品经销商，来向Robert Liu的公司采购货品。这是他们第一次交手。在短短几分钟的交谈中，双方都感到对方是久经沙场的老将。谈判就在拉锯中开始了。双方第一回过招如下：

　　D: Id like to get the ball rolling（开始）by talking about prices.

　　R: Shoot（洗耳恭听）。 Id be happy to answer any questions you may have.

　　D: Your products are very good. But Im a little worried about the prices youre asking.

　　R: You think we should be asking for more? （laughs）

　　D: （chuckles） Thats not exactly what I had in mind. I know your research costs are high, but what Id like is a 25% discount.

　　R: That seems to be a little high, Mr. Smith. I dont know how we can make a profit with those numbers.

　　D: Please, Robert, call me Dan. （pause） Well, if we promise future business--volume sales（大笔交易）--that will slash your costs（大量减低成本）for making the Exec-U-ciser, right?

　　R: Yes, but its hard to see how you can place such large orders. How could you turn over（销磬）so many? （pause） Wed need a guarantee of future business, not just a promise.

　　D: We said we wanted 1000 pieces over a six-month period. What if we place orders for twelve months, with a guarantee?

　　R: If you can guarantee that on paper, I think we can discuss this further.
