Reading ABackground InformationAs a key part in internationaltrade, business negotiation refers to theprocess in which a seller anda buyer negotiate the terms and conditionson trading specified products,and finally reach an agreement. It can bedone
6、 orally or in writing. Normally, it comes when the company finishesits business background check on its potential business partner. Thegeneralprocedure of business negotiation is enquiry, offer, counter-offer, and acceptance. But it should be noted that in practice not all business negotiations go t
7、hrough the four phases.Task 1Before reading the passage, see how much you know about the business negotiation by answering the following questions.1. Have you ever heard of the general steps in business negotiations Ifso, list them in time order; if not, guess what they are.Suggested AnswersI ve hea
8、rd a little bit about the steps of business negotiations inChinese. And after discussing with Tom, we finally nail down our version of the general steps in business negotiations. The first step is to askgeneral information about a product. I rememberit is called “ enquiry ” ; next is to give a reply
9、 to the so-called“ enquiry ” , which is mainly onthe product s price; the third step is called “ counter - offer ” ; and the last one is to reach an agreement which means one party finally accepts the other s conditions and terms.2. What do we need to pay close attention to in business negotiationsS
10、uggested AnswersWe think all the four steps are very important. For example, if you area buyer and want to make an enquiry about the product you are interested in, you should state clearly the name and specifications of the product in the letter. And if you want to buy a lot, you d better tell the s
11、eller to quote you the best price. For the seller, he should reply the enquiryas soon as possible. When quoting the price, he is strongly recommended to makeit clear that the price might fluctuate, especially in a turbulent market. When receiving the seller s offer or quotation, you might findit imp
12、ossible to accept. Don t reject it rudely or give no reply because he might be your future business partner. Whendrafting a counter-offer, you should give good reasons for the part you disagree with and your new suggestions. As to the last step, “ acceptance ” , you d better restate what you have ag
13、reed on to make sure there is no misunderstanding about it. It is much helpful, especially after several rounds of exchanges between you and the seller.TextGeneral Steps in Business NegotiationsGenerally speaking, business negotiations involve four steps: enquiry, offer, counter-offer and acceptance
14、.一般来说,交易磋商包括四个步骤:询盘、报盘、还盘和接受。The first step is “ enquiry ” . When reading an advertisement in a newspaper, website or anywhere else, buyers may make requests for the information relating to their interested products like price lists, samples and terms of payment. Such a request is called“ an enquiry
15、 ”.第一步是“询盘”。买方在报纸、网站或者其他地方看到一则广告后,可能会向对方索取有关自己感兴趣的商品信息,如价格表、样品、付款条件等。而这种索取信息的请求就被称为“询盘”。After sending the enquiry, it comes to“ offer ” . An offer is theexpression of the wish of the seller to sell particular goods under stated terms, including quantity, prices, shipment, terms of payment, etc. It u
16、sually follows an enquiry that is either written or oral.在发出询盘后,买方就会收到“报盘”。报盘表达了卖方希望出售某种商品的条件,包括数量、价格、装运、付款条件等。它通常出现在口头的或者书面的询盘之后。Offers can be classified into two types: firm offers and non-firm offers.A firm off er is usually a seller s promise to sell specified goodsor services at specified price
17、s, and valid for a specified period, with packing, payment, etc. described clearly. Once the firm offer is accepted by the buyer within the validity, the seller is not permitted to revise or withdraw his/her offer and is obliged to enter into a contract with the buyer. In contrast, a non-firm offer
18、is actually an offer without engagement which often contains reservation clauses like“ We make youan offer subject to our f inal confirmation. ”报盘可以分为两大类:实盘和虚盘。实盘通常是指卖方以指定的价格、有效期、包装、付款等内容销售某种商品或服务的承诺。实盘一旦在有效期内被买方接受,卖方就不准修改或者撤回其报盘,并有义务与买方签署合同。相比之下,虚盘实际上是一个没有约言的报盘,它经常包括诸如这样的保留条款: “此发盘须经我方最终确认。 ”Next s
19、tep is “ counter - offer ” . When an offer reaches the offeree, he/she mayreject it and end the negotiation if he/she finds it impossible to reach an agreement. But usually he /she will carefully study the offer, and renew the received offer by altering or adding some terms and conditions. In such a
20、 case, the reply to the offer is called “ counter- offer ”.下一步是“还盘”。当报盘送达受盘人,如果发现不可能达成一致,他/ 她可能会拒绝,从而终止谈判。但是通常他/ 她会仔细研究报盘,修改或添加一些条款和条件。在这种情况下,对报盘的回复称作“还盘”。A counter-offer functions as both a rejection to the original offer and a new offer by the buyer. Consequently, the former offeror nowbecomes an
21、offeree, and the former offeree turns to be an offeror. Normally, such exchanges might go through several rounds before a contract is signed.还盘的作用既是对原始报盘的拒绝,又是买方提出的新报盘。因此,以前的发盘人现在变成了受盘人,而以前的受盘人变成了发盘人。通常, 在最终签署合同之前,这种相互之间的交流可能要经历几个来回。Last, we ll discuss “ acceptance ” . When an offer arrives, the off
22、eree might agree on all terms contained in the offer unconditionally, and an agreement will be reached between the two parties. In such a case, the reply to an offer is known as “ acceptance ” . Here, it should be noted that the word “ offer ” refers to both the original offer and the counter-offer
23、in several rounds of negotiations.最后,我们将谈谈“接受”。当报盘到达受盘人后,他可能无条件地接受报盘中的所有条款。这样,双方就达成了一致。在这种情况下,对报盘的回复被称作“接受”。这里需要指出的是, “报盘”这个词这里既指原始的报盘,也指谈判回合中的还盘。involvev. to include or affect someone or somethingHis reform involves the reorganization of several ministries in the government.go throughto experience
