aIt's been a full two years since we last saw each other.
我们整整两年没有见面了。
bSo it is, I've come again to renew our sole agency agreement for another 2 years.
是啊,这次我来是想把我们之间的独家代理协议延长两年。
aWe shall be pleased to talk the matter over with you. You've done very well in fulfilling the agreement.
我们很高兴和你们详细讨论这件事情。你们的协议完成得很漂亮。
bI'm glad you're satisfied with our work. I can assure you we've spared no effort and spent quite a sum of money in pushing the sales of your products.
你们对我们的工作表示满意,我很高兴。可以说在推销你们的产品方面,我们费了不少力气,还花了大量资金。
aYes, we appreciate your efforts in pushing the sales of our pianos. We can see you are experienced in this particular line.
是的,我们很感激你方在推销钢琴上所做的努力,看得出来你们对经营这一行很有经验。
bThank you.
谢谢。
aBut I think the annual sale of 300 pianos for a sole distributorship in Canada is rather conservative. After all, you sold around 400 pieces there last year. You can sell more this year according to the marketing conditions at your end.
bThat is the result of our hard work. Well, what annual quantity would you suggest for the new agreement then?
那是我们努力工作的结果。那你认为新协议的年销量应是多少呢?
a500 pieces.
500架。
bNo, no. That's too big a number to be acceptable. Let's put it at 450 pieces. And we'll strive to sell more, of course. We wish to add another clause. For every 50 pieces sold in excess of the quota, we'll get 1% more in commission for our efforts.
aAll right, let's fix it at 450 pieces then. And for every additional 50 pianos sold, we'll give you 1% higher commission.
那好吧,那我们就定为450架吧。另外每多售50架,我们就再多给 你百分之一的佣金。
bI suppose all the other terms remain unchanged.
我想其他条款都不变吧。
aWe would like to make a specific mention of one more point. As our sole distributor, you will neither handle the same or similar products of other origins nor re-export our goods to any other area outside your own.
bNo, certainly not. That's a reasonable restriction.
那当然不行,这是合理的限制。
aAnother thing is that every six months we would like to receive from you a detailed report on current market conditions and the users comments on our products.
另外一点是我们希望每隔六个月收到你们的一份详细的当前市场情况的报告和用户对我们的反馈。
bYes, we've already prepared one. I've brought it with me. I'll put it forward when we talk with the manufacturers tomorrow.
