[speaker001:] How about 15 % the first six months and the second six months at 12 % with a guarantee of 3000 units?
[speaker002:] That's a lot to sell with very low profit margins.
[speaker001:] It's about the best we can do, Smith. We need to hammer something out today. If I go back empty-handed, I may be coming back to you soon to ask for a job.
[speaker002:] OK. 17 % the first six months, 14 % for the second.
[speaker001:] Good. Let's iron out the remaining details. When do you want to take delivery?
[speaker002:] We'd like you to execute the first order by the 31 st.
[speaker001:] Let me run through this again, the first shipment for 1500 units to be delivered in 27 days by the 31 st.
[speaker002:] Right. We couldn't handle much larger shipments.
[speaker001:] Fine. But I'd prefer the first shipment to be 1000 units, the next 2000. The 31 st is quite soon, I can't guarantee 1500.
[speaker002:] I can agree to that. Well, if there's nothing else, I think we've settled everything.
[speaker001:] Tom, this deal promises big returns for both sides. Let's hope it's the beginning of a long and prosperous relationship.
