聽(tīng)力每日練習(xí) listen 2138 Refuse?an?agent

1-- Mr. King, I think you've already received our letter which suggested our desire to be an agent for your products.
 
2-- Yes, Mr. Wu. We received it a week ago.
 
1-- What's your opinion?
 
2-- To be fank, Mr. Wu, after reading your letter, I feel that it's not a mature time for you to act as a sole agent for us.
 
1-- Why not?
 
2-- Here are several points to support my idea. Firstly, you are not very experienced in trading with our products. You'll need some time to find out the potential market ability. Secondly, the annual order and turnover you promised is much lower than our expectation.
 
1-- But this figure is only our first year's aim. We'll gradually enlarge our selling amount later. Though the order is not big, it will help you to establish your market channel and expand the influence of your products in the region. Don't you think so?
 
2-- What you say is resonable. But it's not the only way to push sales for us. We may make full use of our advertisements and sales force to enlarge our sales market.
 
1-- But these will cost more and the effect may not be as evident as to have an agent.
 
2-- I see your point, Mr. Wu. Thank you for your good intentions. We'll consider your request when the chances serve.

1-- 金先生，我想你已經(jīng)收到了那封表明我們意愿做你方代理的信。
2-- 對(duì)，吳先生。我們一周前收到的。
1-- 你方意見(jiàn)如何？
2-- 嗯，恕我直言，吳先生。 看了信后我感覺(jué)你方做我們獨(dú)家代理的時(shí)機(jī)還不成熟。
1-- 原因何在？
2-- 下面幾點(diǎn)足以證明我的看法。第一，你方以前經(jīng)營(yíng)我方產(chǎn)品經(jīng)驗(yàn)不足，所以，你方需要花費(fèi)一定時(shí)間來(lái)調(diào)查潛在的市場(chǎng)能力。第二，你們所承諾的年訂貨量和營(yíng)業(yè)額都遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)低于我方的期望。
1-- 但是這個(gè)數(shù)字只是我們第一年期望的目標(biāo)。以后我們會(huì)逐漸擴(kuò)大我們的銷(xiāo)售額。盡管我們的訂貨量不大，但它會(huì)幫助你們?cè)谶@個(gè)國(guó)家溝通市場(chǎng)渠道，并擴(kuò)大你們的產(chǎn)品影響。你不這么認(rèn)為嗎？
2-- 你說(shuō)得沒(méi)錯(cuò)。但是代理并非是促銷(xiāo)的唯一渠道。我們可以充分利用廣告和銷(xiāo)售人員來(lái)擴(kuò)大我方的銷(xiāo)售市場(chǎng)。
1-- 但是，上述方法既消耗錢(qián)財(cái)，效果又不如設(shè)置代理來(lái)得明顯。
2-- 我明白你的意思，吳先生。謝謝你的良好意愿，以后有機(jī)會(huì)我們會(huì)考慮你方的要求。
