職場(chǎng)心經(jīng)

商業(yè)技術(shù)的轉(zhuǎn)讓具有高度的壟斷性，當(dāng)代的專利制度進(jìn)一步加強(qiáng)了這種壟斷。為了保持技術(shù)和產(chǎn)品的優(yōu)勢(shì)，某種技術(shù)的持有人通常不會(huì)轉(zhuǎn)讓該技術(shù)，除非在某些特殊的情況下。比如，該轉(zhuǎn)讓對(duì)于占領(lǐng)市場(chǎng)來(lái)說(shuō)是必需的；該轉(zhuǎn)讓能帶來(lái)巨額利潤(rùn)，或該轉(zhuǎn)讓不危及他的壟斷地位。如果一項(xiàng)技術(shù)被轉(zhuǎn)讓給多個(gè)最終用戶，那么轉(zhuǎn)讓者索要的轉(zhuǎn)讓費(fèi)就要相應(yīng)地下調(diào)。

場(chǎng)景應(yīng)用

談判雙方就專利權(quán)的轉(zhuǎn)讓價(jià)格達(dá)成了一致，在對(duì)其他條款進(jìn)行討論前雙方?jīng)Q定先休息一下。

A：Now, since we both have agreed on the transfer of patent right, shall we come down to payment?

B：Well, how much will you ask for?

A：We hope you will pay us $50,000 for buying the production right form us, as well as 5％ of the sales price on each of the products sold.

B：I'm afraid we could not accept the quotation. We prefer the possibility of reducing it down to 1％ of the sales price.

A：Let's find a happy medium. What about 3％?

B：I agree. You are a tough bargainer. However you should train our workers how to use it.

A：no problem. I think half a year on-spot training will be enough for the worker s to master the skills.

B：Now we have come to an agreement on price. Why not take a rest before we go down to the other terms?

A：OK.

A：現(xiàn)在，既然我們雙方都已經(jīng)同意了專利權(quán)的轉(zhuǎn)讓，我們是否該談?wù)勚Ц稐l款了？

B：好吧，你方的報(bào)價(jià)是多少？

A：我方希望你方支付生產(chǎn)權(quán)費(fèi)用50000美元，另外每出售一件商品我方收取銷售價(jià)的5％作為提成。

B：恐怕我們不能接受這個(gè)報(bào)價(jià)，我們希望提成降到1％。

A：那我們折中一下，3％怎么樣？

B：我同意，您很能講價(jià)。但是你方應(yīng)該在操作方面對(duì)我方人員進(jìn)行培訓(xùn)。

A：沒(méi)問(wèn)題。我想半年的現(xiàn)場(chǎng)培訓(xùn)應(yīng)該足以讓工人掌握操作技巧了。

B：現(xiàn)在我們關(guān)于價(jià)格達(dá)成一致了。在商討其他條款前我們休息一下吧？

A：好啊。

* * *

Let's find a happy medium.（我們還是找一個(gè)折中的辦法吧。）

當(dāng)雙方的談話陷入僵局的時(shí)候，完全沒(méi)必要不知所措，一句“Let's find a happy medium.（我們還是找一個(gè)折中的辦法吧。）”就能將你們拉回重新探討問(wèn)題的道路上來(lái)。medium在英語(yǔ)里有“中間、中道”的意思。而happy是幸福、快樂(lè)之意。在happy medium中medium更是有“好，恰如其分，恰到好處”的意思，而happy medium即指“折中的辦法”。

give the game away泄密；暴露，露出馬腳

Give away原意是“分發(fā)，放棄”的意思；give the game away可引申為“泄密，暴露，露出馬腳”。give the game away源自魔術(shù)表演。我們知道，魔術(shù)是一門神奇的藝術(shù)；好的魔術(shù)表演不僅能贏得觀眾的掌聲甚至還能讓許多人達(dá)到癡迷的程度。你看，魔術(shù)師在臺(tái)上要風(fēng)得風(fēng)、要雨得雨，一會(huì)兒變出一朵鮮花，一會(huì)兒又把女模特切成兩半，真是無(wú)比威風(fēng)啊。但表演中，一旦稍有閃失，出了紕漏，魔術(shù)就會(huì)露出馬腳，被觀眾們恥笑。這時(shí)候，魔術(shù)師也只好give the game away（放棄表演），夾著尾巴灰溜溜的逃跑了。后來(lái)，人們也用give the game away來(lái)表示“泄露秘密；露出破綻”等含義。

表示“泄密”，我們還有一個(gè)有趣的短語(yǔ)叫做kiss and tell，源自校園里早戀的孩子們偷偷親吻后，男生總是不遵守諾言，向別人講述自己親吻的經(jīng)歷。
