Mr. Blake studied the Buyer’s contract terms and on Tuesday came to the Soviet Trade Delegation to discuss them with Voronin.

Voronin: Good morning, Mr. Blake.
Blake: Good morning, Mr. Voronin. Sorry, I’m a bit late.
Voronin: Never mind.1 How are things?2
Blake: Not too bad, thanks
Voronin: Would you like a cigarette?
Blake: No, thank you, I don’t smoke.
Voronin: May I offer you a cup of coffee?
Blake: Yes, with pleasure. Well, Mr. Voronin. I think we can discuss business now. I’d like to clarify some details with you. How many compressors would you like to buy?
Voronin: We can buy 40 compressors.
Blake: And when do you require the goods?
Voronin: As soon as possible, say in December.
Blake: In December? Let me see. I’m afraid, that’s impossible. Our compressors are selling
very well, and we are heavy with orders. We can deliver only 15 compressors in
December.
Voronin: And what about the other 25 compressors?
Blake: We can deliver them only in six month.
Voronin: All right. And how about the terms of delivery? I hope they suit you.
Blake: Yes, we agree to sell the goods FOB English port3 and we can accept payment for
collection too.
Voronin: Fine. Now comes the question of price. I must say that your price is not attractive to
us. Can you give us a 10% discount?
Blake: That’s a bit difficult. The fact is our compressors are in great demand at this price. However we can offer you a discount of 5%, but in that case we can sell the goods only on CIF terms.4
Voronin: I think we must agree to your terms. Can we meet tomorrow at 10 to sign the contract, Mr. Blake?
Blake: Yes, certainly. Mr. Voronin, would you like to have dinner with me tonight?
Voronin: With pleasure.
Blake: I can pick you up at the Soviet Trade Delegation a 6:30 if that’s convenient.
Voronin: Yes, thank you.
