Brief Introduction

在進出口貿(mào)易中，洽談交易程序一般按詢盤——發(fā)盤——還盤——接受——簽訂合同這五個環(huán)節(jié)來進行的。

接受是達成交易和訂立合同必不可少的環(huán)節(jié)。接受在法律上叫做承諾。它是指受盤人在發(fā)盤有效期內(nèi)完全同意發(fā)盤的全部內(nèi)容，愿意訂立合同的一種表示。

一項有效的接受一般必須具備以下條件：

一、它必須是受盤人對一項實盤的完全同意。

二、必須是發(fā)盤所規(guī)定的受盤人表示同意才有效。

三、必須是受盤人在發(fā)盤有效期內(nèi)或合理時間內(nèi)表示同意才有效。

四、接受應(yīng)由受盤人作出聲明或其他行為方式表示，并且這種表示 傳達給發(fā)盤人后才開始有效。

Conversations

Dialogue 1

B： Mrs. Wang， would you give us an idea of the price you regard as workable？

W： As I said before， your price is so high that we find it difficult to make a bid. We hope you will take the initiative and bridge the gap.

B： Just to comply， we're ready to reduce the price by 5 percent. I hope this concession of ours will get the ball rolling.

W： So do we. Certainly it's a step forward on your side. But the gap is still too wide.

B： The ball is in your court， Mrs.Wang. What price would you suggest？

W： To make your offer workable， I think you should take another step down as big as the one you've just taken.

B： That won't do. You see， our profit margin is very narrow. It simply can't stand such a big cut.

W： I hate to disappoint you， Mr. Brown， but if that's the case， we have no alternative but to cover our requirements elsewhere. Do think it over， please. We sincerely hope our discussion will come to a suc cess ful conclusion.

B： Well， I'm not authorized to agree to such a big reduction. Would you mind waiting a day or two， until I get a reply from the home office？

W： Not at all. Shall we meet again， say， on Friday morning？

B： Good. Friday morning at 9.

—— 王小姐，你認為什么價格可行呢？

—— 我講過， 你方價格太高使我們很難還價，希望你方能主動彌合差距。

—— 好吧，依從你們的意見，我們準(zhǔn)備削價5%，希望我們這次讓步能 打開局面。

—— 我們也希望如此。 當(dāng)然你們方面是前進了一步，但是差距還是很大。

—— 王小姐，看你的了。你出個價吧？

—— 要使你方報盤可行的話，我認為你應(yīng)象剛才一樣再跨出一步。

—— 這不行。你知道，我方利潤額很小了，實在經(jīng)不起這樣大幅度的削 價了。

—— 布朗先生，我不想使你感到失望，但是如果你方堅持這樣的話，我 們沒有別的辦法，只好從別處購買了。請仔細考慮一下，我們衷心 希望這次談判能圓滿達成。

—— 是這樣，我無權(quán)同意這樣大幅度的削價，請你等我一兩天，好嗎？ 我要等國內(nèi)總公司的答復(fù)。

—— 當(dāng)然可以。那我們星期五上午再見面，好不好？

—— 好，星期五上午九點。

Dialogue 2

B： Good morning， Mrs.Wang. Any news？

W： Yes. I've succeeded in persuading our export manager to agree to a reduction of ten percent. He made this an exception with an eye to future business.

B： Good. We certainly appreciate your making these concessions for us.

W： May I repeat 15 Tunnel Drillers， specifications as shown in the technical data， at 57，000 Swiss Francs each， F.O.B. European Main Ports？ Business is closed at this price.

B： Yes， that's right. Shall we go over the other terms and conditions of the transaction to see if we agree on all the particulars？

W： All right. We have no objection to the stipulations about the packing and shipping marks. As a matter of fact， we always pack

our machines in new strong wooden cases suit able for long distance ocean transportation.

B： The machines must be well protect ed against dampness， moisture， rust， and be able to stand shock and rough handling.

W： We'll see to that.

—— 王小姐，早上好。有什么消息嗎？

—— 有，我已經(jīng)說服我方出口部經(jīng)理同意降價10%.他考慮到以后的生 意，所以破例降價。

—— 太好了，我們非常感激你方做出這些讓步。

—— 我再重復(fù)一下報盤：15臺隧道鉆機，規(guī)格詳見技術(shù)資料，歐洲主要 港口離岸價每臺五萬七千瑞士法郎。交易就按此價敲定。

—— 沒錯。我們再檢查一下這項交易的其他條款，好嗎？看看有沒有意 見不一致的地方？

—— 好，我們同意關(guān)于包裝和嘜頭的條款。其實，我們的機器包裝都 采用適合于長途海洋運輸?shù)膷湫吕喂痰哪鞠洹?/P>

—— 機器的包裝必須防濕、防潮、防銹、防震，并且經(jīng)得起粗魯?shù)陌徇\。

—— 我們會注意的。

B： They are to be shipped not later than Sep tem ber 2001.

W： There's no question about that.

B： And what about the terms of payment？

W： Payment by L/C， to be opened by the buyer 15 to 20 days prior to the date of delivery. That's what we've agreed upon， isn't it？

B： Yes， quite so.

W： We'd like to add the condition that the letter of credit shall be valid until the 15th day after shipment. You know， it sometimes takes us a week or so to get all the shipping documents ready for the presentation and negotiation. This will give us more leeway.

B： That can be done. Any questions about the in spec tion and claims？

W： None whatsoever. The quality and per for mance of our machines can stand every possible test. We agree to your conditions.

B： Do you also agree to the condition that all disputes， if unsettled， shall be referred to the For eign Trade Arbitration Commission for the Pro mo tion of In ter na tion al Trade？

W： Certainly， but I'm sure there will be no oc ca sion for arbitration.

—— 裝船期不能遲于2001年9月。

—— 沒問題。

—— 關(guān)于付款方式呢？

—— 付款采用信用證，在交貨前15到20天期間由買方開出。這些我們 都已同意了，是不是？

—— 對，是這樣。

—— 我們希望加上一條，信用證有效期應(yīng)至貨物裝船后第十五日截止。 要把所有裝船單據(jù)都準(zhǔn)備好以便提交銀行議付，有時需要一個星期 左右。定上這樣一條可以讓我們的時間充裕一點。

—— 行。關(guān)于商檢和索賠，有什么問題嗎？

—— 完全沒有問題。我們的機器經(jīng)得起任何質(zhì)量和性能方面的測試。我 們同意你方條款。

—— 你是否也同意這樣一條，解決不了的糾紛，就提交國際貿(mào)易促進會 的對外貿(mào)易仲裁委員會去仲裁？

—— 可以，不過我相信根本不需要仲裁。
