I. Прочитайте и письменно переведите текст.
After the first round of the talks about the volume, the terms and the time of delivery Vetrov spoke to the Director General Mr. Brownie on the phone and both were satisfied with the results. Again they agreed to meet tomorrow at 8.
Mr. Brownie: Good morning, Mr. Vetrov.
Mr. Vetrov: Good morning, Mr. Brownie. Glad to meet you again. The weather is fine today. Do you always have this kind of weather in February?
B: Yes, as a matter of fact we do. Let’s make use of, all this warmth to the benefit of our two companies. Let’s start, time is money.
V: You are right. The least said the soonest mended.
B: Oh, Mr. Vetrov, you know English perfectly well.
V: Thank you. Now as to the terms of payment, the picture is the usual one: we want payment on credit, you prefer cash, don’t you?
B: Well, we foresaw this kind of situation and suggest fifty-fifty, i.e. if you agree to open a letter of credit valid for 30 days for the first consignment we could draw drafts on you for remaining equipment.
V: There is no objection to the price being fixed and payment being effected in pounds sterling.
B: Of course not.
V: Another thing, Mr. Brownie. We are going to pay cash for the technological project. That’s very beneficial to you, isn’t it?
B: Yes, quite so – to hit the nail on the head. But can we revert to the matter later?
V: Tomorrow?
B: Maybe tomorrow or this afternoon.
V: OK.
B: What about the down payment?
V: I think there is nothing to discuss. As they say – the fat is in the fire – 5% against the documents as specified in the contract.
B: I agree
V: Our next meeting will be tomorrow at 10 as usual?
B: Just a minute. Could we meet in the afternoon today?
V: Why?
B: The sooner we sign the contract the better.
V: Oh, I see – out of sight, out of mind.
B: Exactly!
