#Person1#: Mrs. Phoebe, let's talk about the delivery arrangement for our goods.
#Person2#: Sure. What's your date of delivery?
#Person1#: I informed my company and was told that the first five thousand by the end of this month.
#Person2#: What about the balance of the order? Can they also arrive at our company quickly?
#Person1#: We can deliver the balance at the price already quoted in 10 days.
#Person2#: Can you deliver them earlier?
#Person1#: I am afraid we can not do that. Would you be willing to sign an annual contract on the basis we discussed?
#Person2#: Possibly, subject to quality and delivery guarantees.
#Person1#: Of course. Well, in that case we could offer a 5 % discount for a confirmed monthly order for the next 12 months.
#Person2#: I was looking forward to something a bit more substantial. As you know, we have long-time cooperation.
#Person1#: I'm afraid that's as far as we could go. We'd already be stretching ourselves to the limit.
#Person2#: Well, let's shake on that and draw up the details of the contract.
#Person1# and Mrs. Phoebe talk about the delivery arrangement for the goods. #Person1# offers a 5% discount for a confirmed monthly order and they finally reach an agreement since they have long-time cooperation.
