. Could you please explain further about the compact video camera? ( ?) Before giving you the information, I'd like to know more details of your plan, such as the production target, the number of workers and management people, and so on. ( .)

May I ask one thing? ( ?) I have a question on this. ( .) Are you planning to operate the scheduled plant as a joint venture? ( ?) How about operating the plant as a joint business between your company and our company? ( ?) Does this company have a good standing in this particular field? ( ?)

. We want to know your idea about the price issue before we make a final decision. ( .) How much do we have to pay in the first year when the equipment arrives and the operation starts? ( ?) Are you asking a total of five million dollars in a ten-year installment term with carrying charges of five percent per annum? ( 5 5% 10 ?)

. Well, that's a good question, but to be honest we haven't decided as yet on the matter. (, .) We have already confirmed the point you mentioned now. ( .) Yes, I've received an answer to the effect that our company will order another 10^2^000 pieces of the item. (, 10^2^000 .)

We've been engaged in exporting built-up computer units as well as computer parts. ( .) So far as I know, they're dealing with computer parts, mainly for office

use. ( .) This company has some 20 years' experience in the export of electronic instruments. ( 20 .) The company is well known for its good aftercare and maintenance. ( AS .) For example, the company renders one-year free-of-charge repair service on exported products. ( , 1 .)

Now, with regard to the conditions you just asked about, geographically, that region is ideal for an IC plant. ( IC .) I don't think there will be much problem about competitors. ( .) In principle, your new business is quite welcome here. (, .)

With regard to production targets, we're planning to manufacture some 100^2^000 pieces of IC a month. ( IC 10 .) The scheduled number of American workers to be hired is about 100. ( .) The management will consist of three Korean directors and seven American directors including the president. ( 3 7 .) Of course, we can provide technical advisors needed for the operation of the new plant. ( .)

. I personally feel like operating it as a subsidiary company. ( .) We've rather like to operate the plant as a joint venture up until the time when it grows commercially sound.

( .) As the present stage, we'd better discuss the possibility of a joint venture. ( .) I suggest leaving the technical matters to the engineers to discuss. ( .) I see. Now I understand the outline of the scheduled plant. ( .) I have to make a comment on the number of local workers to be hired at your scheduled plant. ( .) I'd like to advise you to increase the number of local workers from 100 to about 200. ( 100 200 .) I'd like you to give some consideration to the national sentiment against foreign capital. ( .)

. The estimated cost of building a new plant here is around 10 million dollars. ( 1 .) In addition, accompanying expenditure is required for technical knowhow and for hiring engineers and technicians. ( .) This expenditure is estimated at about one million dollars. ( .) Also, we should be ready to pay about two million dollars a year for the salaries of the employees. ( 2 .) We'll have to spend some 500^2^000 (five hundred thousand) dollars every year for the maintenance of the facilities. ( 50 .) It will cost 20 million dollars altogether. ( 2 .)

A main obstacle will be the cost of salaries for the local staff. ( .) As you may know, the cost of living is considerably different in the two countries. (, .) I mean, they draw considerably higher salary than Korean. ( , .)

Making a simple calculation, we will be able to recover the money within two or three years. ( 2--3 .) I believe that such a cost will be offset by the profits from the new marker here. ( .) Furthermore, we can expect some 20% increase in the sales here. (, 2 .) We have no doubt that the new plant will bring us considerable profits within a few years. ( .)

. In principle I'm thinking about an evenly split payment of the total price over ten years in dollars. (, 10 .) A problem in purchasing foreign products is the exchange rate of the won. ( .) The won has been falling since last year. ( .) In consideration of the fluctuating exchange rate, we're trying to switch the means of payment from local currencies to dollars as much as possible. ( .) Since purchase is based on the won, we have to pay more than before. ( .) We pay them by six year's installments.

(6 .)

. Let's draw up the shipment schedule. ( .) How about the period from February 1st to March 31st this year? ( 2 1 3 31 ?)

The manufacturer requests us to delay the shipment a few months. ( 2--3 .) The problem is that the manufacturers have to make some changes in their production line. ( .) Let's talk about a possibility of extending the shipping deadline. ( .) -----------@[ (4) .

. Can you tell me what your conditions are? ( ?)

. I have a few points to make. ( .) Our conclusion is that we'll buy your products under certain conditions. ( .) There are three conditions. ( .) The first one is the modification of the design. ( .) No price change is the second one. ( .) And the last one is that we need the product shipped to us by the end of December, 1996. (, 1996 12 .)

. But these conditions are still pending and subject to change.

( .) I personally think your suggestion may be acceptable under these conditions. ( , .) I believe our management will give its full consent to your offer, provided it includes your new suggestion. ( , .)

. Basically we have reached an agreement, but there are a few pending items to be solved. ( , .) As a matter of fact, we'd like to discuss the price. ( .) Our main concern is the price. ( .) We want you to cut the price to $10 each. ( 10 .) We can't go any higher than $ 1^2^000 a unit. (1 1 .) Your price is almost twice what we're paying. ( .) That's a little higher than we can go. ( .) That's way over our budget. ( .) That's too expensive. ( .) We shall accept your offer on condition that you reduce the price by 20 percent. ( 20% .) A prerequisite to get the consent of our management is that the price should be lower than that of other suppliers. ( .) I think your offer is acceptable to us, provided payment is based on the won rather than on the dollar. (

 .)

. Could you tell me your views on the price? Would you mind telling me your opinion on the price? What's your opinion of the price? I would like to ask your opinion about the price? ( .) Will you please tell me your opinion on how many pieces of the item are enough to make it pay? ( ?) May I ask your opinion on this? Would you mind my asking your opinion? ( ?) How would you feel about that? ( ?) How about that? ( ?) What do you think of this matter? ( ?)

. Do you think that our proposal is acceptable to you? ( ?) Does that mean that you have agreed to our proposal? ( ?) Is it necessary for you to confirm the price issue with your head office? ( ?) Have you made any decision on our proposal? ( ?) I think you've already referred the matter to your management and received an answer. ( .) You mean your company is held directly responsible for such damages? ( ?) Does this mean that the issue is finally settled? ( ?)

I cannot give you an immediate answer on the matter. ( .) At any rate, I cannot make any comment on the matter instantly. (, .) Sorry, but I cannot make a comment now on the issue. (, .) It's hard to say. There're a lot of factors involved. ( . .) We'll have to look into the matter more carefully before making a decision. ( .) Actually, we haven't had a chance to go over it yet. ( .) Well, we haven't gotten round to it yet. ( .) I understand your suggestion, but it's a touchy issue. ( , .) I'm afraid my personal guess will invite confusion on both sides. ( .)

. I'm not in a position to make a decision as to whether your suggestion is acceptable or not. ( .) I don't have the power to make a final decision on the matter. ( .) We have no power to handle the matter. ( .) I've not been given the power to make a final decision on the price issue. ( .) I'm afraid I can't make this decision. (, .) The matter at issue far exceeds my authorized power. ( .)

. Let's carry it over to the next meeting. ( .) We can over the remaining details next time. ( .)

We'll have to continue this another time. ( .) I'll meet you again with our confirmation. ( .) I believe we can make progress at our next talks. ( .)

. Can you wait for a few days till I get an instruction from our manager on this issue? ( 2--3 ?) Please give me a couple of days to ascertain the specifications of the model. ( .) I'd rather ask you to wait for about a week for a final decision. ( .)

. Well, let us think it over. (, .) Please wait till I get instructions from our manager. ( .) I'll discuss the matter with our Seoul office on the telephone tonight. ( .) I'm sorry, I'll have to consult with others about this. I'll let you know the conclusion as soon as I can. (, . .) As for the price problem, I think we have to reconsider it. ( .)

. I need a few more days to confirm the opinion of our management. ( 2--3 .) I need some more time to think about the price. ( .) I have to make a few checks with the manufacturer before finally deciding on the shipping schedule. ( .)

It will take another week or so before the management reaches a conclusion. ( 1 .) Decision on the matter has been suspended by our manager. ( .)

. All right. (.) It maybe all right. ( .) Okay with us. ( .) Yes, I agree. I agree with you. I agree with your suggestion. (.) I think we can accept certain conditions. ( .) We can discuss the other conditions in our further talks. ( .) I'll make every possible effort to meet the conditions. ( .) I've already received an answer from our head office saying your conditions are acceptable. ( .)

. I cannot agree to it. ( .) I'm afraid we can't. (, .) I don't think we'll be able to. ( .) I'm afraid that's impossible. ( .) No, I don't think it's possible. ( .) I cannot agree with you on this. ( .)

I cannot agree on it immediately at this session. ( .) I cannot say yes at the present stage. ( .) Sorry, but we can't comply with your request. (, .) Well, you seem to me to be asking a little too much. Well, I feel like you are asking a little too much. (, .) Well, that's a difficult problem. (, .) There are certain items which I think are difficult to accept. ( .) I'm against your idea that the deadline of the shipment be extended to the end of May. ( 5 .) I agree on the shipping date but cannot agree on the term of payment. ( , .) We cannot keep the deadline because of the item necessary for the modification in the design. ( .)

. Sorry, but we can't meet your expectations. ( .) To my regret, we have to reject your proposal for new business. (, .) Sorry, but I have to decline your offer because we've already signed a contract with the NBC Company on the purchase of the same item. ( NBC .) Unfortunately, we have regular suppliers. (, .) I'm very sorry to tell you that we've found a new supplier because you turned down our proposal to cut the price. (, .) Unfortunately, we've already contracted a different supplier. (, .)

After the rejection by the management, it became impossible to deal with your company. ( .)

I hope we'll have another chance to talk it over in the near future. ( .)

. Let's make an effort to find a point of compromise. ( .) Are you ready to make a little compromise on the price issue to reach a conclusion? ( ?) I know our management will make a little compromise on the price issue. ( .)

. If the quantity you want to buy is much larger than 5^2^000, the expenditure needed for the change in the design will be worth our while. ( 5 .) Otherwise, I'm afraid the manufacturer won't agree on any change. ( , .) It means the manufacturer must spend a lot of money for such a change. ( .) I myself think it most recommendable under the circumstances. ( .) -----------@[ (5) .

I'm very glad that our talks turned out to be successful. ( .) So, we have agreed to carry out the business along the lines we have so far discussed. (, .) Our talks have resulted in our starting a new business and our friendly ties have been confirmed. (

.) Thanks for your visit and the fruitful talks we've had. ( , .) Thanks for your cooperation and efforts. ( .)

. Our next job is to draw up a contract. ( .) Which do you think is better, through lawyers or by the experts of both companies? ( , ?) I suggest a draft be mapped out first by our own people, and then we have lawyers review it. ( ?) Let's have a draft drawn up by our company first. ( .) A copy of the draft will be sent to you for review by your people. ( .) It won't take much time for us to prepare the draft. ( .)

. Do you have any suggestion for possible changes to the draft in your mind? ( ?) We can't agree to this draft of the contract. ( .) I understand paragraphs 2 and 3, but for rest I can hardly agree. ( 2 3 , .) Then how about adding one paragraph to the draft? ( 1 ?) How about making some changes in the wording of the paragraph? (2 ?) I'd like to put an article "A" into the second paragraph of place of the previous article "B". ( 2 "B" "A" .) I want to replace article "C" in the third paragraph of the draft with an the draft, in

alternative article "D" ( 3 "C" "D" .)

. All right, we've come to a satisfactory conclusion in drafting the contract. (. .) So, we've agreed on the contents of the contract. (, .) -----------@[ (6)

I come here to have talks with you in detail on the issue of the non-arrival of the goods in our first order. ( .) I was asked by our management to appeal to you to speed up the shipment. ( .) We haven't received them up to now. ( .) The item was supposed to arrive in Korea by the end of January. ( 1 .)

The shipment is more than one month behind schedule. ( 1 .) Your shipment arrived one month behind the deadline despite our repeated request for prompt shipment. ( 1 .) I want to know what you intend to do to cope with the situation. ( .) I want to know the reason why such a delay has happened. ( .) Can you kindly tell me the true situation and the reason why you were unable to ship the item in time? ( ?) We're at a loss as to how to answer our customers. ( .)

We're upset about the late deliveries. ( .)

Sorry, but I have to tell you that a number of television sets shipped by you were found to be damaged through our inspection upon arrival. ( , .) I regret to inform you that we found a number of auto parts you shipped last month to be unserviceable. (, .) Our customers have complained about this. ( .) They're complaining about your failure in shipping. ( .) Customers said that they're defective and qualitatively far below the standard of the specifications. ( .) The quality has really gone down lately. ( .) It's not necessary for us to make payment for the damaged goods under the terms of the contract. ( .) You're requested to make reimbursement to cover our damages. ( .) Are you ready to reimburse us for our damages? ( ?) Or will you ship us replacements for the defective parts without delay? ( ?) Which do you think is better? ( .)

. I admit that the damage to the goods was caused by our inadequate packing process. ( .) At any rate, it is our fault that we failed to make the shipment as we

promised you in the contract. (, .) It is absolutely our fault that we delivered you the parts of a different model. ( .) It is our fault that we shipped to you a wrong item. ( .)

. We're very sorry for any inconvenience this has caused you. ( .) We deeply regret any trouble that this has caused you. ( .) I have to apologize to you for our delay in shipment. ( .) I promise you we'll never make similar mistakes again in the future. ( .)

. Our personnel was negligent in conducting pre-shipment checks, thus inviting the trouble. ( .) The main reason for our failure in the shipment was a delay in changes in the production line at the manufacturer. ( .) Despite our repeated request for speeding up the changes, the manufacturer was unable to comply with it. ( .) I'm sorry. But the problem has been taken care of. The next shipment will be right on time. (. . .) We've got everything straightened out now. ( .) I've ordered our shipping department to make an overall review on both packing and shipping procedures. ( .)

 . This is your fault, not ours. ( .) I think that is your problem. ( .) @ff @[ :
