In just a few minutes of the conversation, yoyo felt that this big fellow with a straightforward appearance kept a mind of a cunning rabbit .Known that the guy was skilled in this way ,he took great care in the negotiation.In the first round ,their covercition was as follows:D: shall we start? R=YoyoR: yes. I’d be glad to answer any questions you may have.D: Your product leaves me a deep impression. But I'm a little worried about the prices.R: Don’t worry. Before we quote the price, plz tell us the exact quantity you want.D: I’m not sure still. I know your research costs are high, but I prefer 20% discount.R: No, no.no.you must be kidding. That’s a big cut, and it will make us no profit.D: if we promise future business that will reduce your costs for products, right?R: Yes, but it's hard to see how you can place such large orders. (Pause) We need a guarantee of future business, not just a promise.D: We said we wanted 500 pieces over a 3-month period. What if we place orders for 6 months, with a guarantee?R: If you can guarantee that on paper, I think we can discuss this further. But even with volume sales, our coats won't go down much.D: so, what are your propose?R: We could give you a cut. But not 20%,we can grant 10% at most, that’s the best we can do.D: That's a big change from 20! 10 is beyond my deadline. (pause) Any other ideas?R: I don't think I can make a decision right now. Why don't we talk again tomorrow?D: Sure.

For the first 3 months, we get a discount of 15%, and the next 3 months we get 12%.R: Dan, I can't bring those numbers back to my office――they'll reject it directly.D: Then you'll have to think of something better, yoyo.R: How about 12% the first 3 months, and the second 3 months at 10%, with a guarantee of 1500 units?D: That's a large numbers to sell, withsuch low profit.R: It's about the best we can do, jay.

B:Transshipment is not allowed,neither is partial shipment. Perhaps you arrange it by charter.A:No,---,it’s a big c ost. We can’t do that.
