回首我的第一单(20ft)
 那是一个令人绝望的冬天,一个普通得泛白的早上,我打开油箱,看到一则来自alibaba看起来还算不错的询盘,可惜是群发,当时有一个刻板印象凡是群发的询盘都是等而下之的询盘,细看之下更是疑心,于是回了我唯一的一封极尽冷嘲热讽的还盘。
Dear Mr Sampath Kumar:
  I noticed your inquiry on Alibaba.I am sorry that your inquiry seems phony to me.The reasons are listed as below:
  • I received your inquiry around 9 o'clock Beijing Time,I work out it is around 3 o'clock in Soudi.Why don't you go to bed and sleep but instead send out an inquiry at this crazy time?If it is ok,I will assume that you stay in China now,but you said your team were going to visit China within a month.
  • I'v never heard that a company can import goods even without a fax number,probably you don't likt to bother to fill out the form with a fax number,but you at least give us a real telephone number,I feel sorry for you,the telephone number you presented doesn't exist in the world
  • You need internal pvc doors?but your picture attached doesn't like a pvc door.After taking a close look,I suppose the finish is perhaps paint coating or the damn lousy pvc we never used or anything.


    dont get a sore anyway,I wont tell others,you act so funny I even sort of like you.Indeed,I am not kiding.
Regards!
Mario Wang

    发走之后,感觉很是舒畅,仿佛终于出了口鸟气似的。回不回倒没放在心上,无非气一下拖进垃圾筒,或者咽不下这口气破口回骂罢了。Kumar显然是是后者,不过我还是很惊讶他这样以牙还牙的回了一封:

Dear Mario,

Thank you for your "nice" comments.

1) Make sure our timings once again you mentioned.  Of course you are from "Justtime".  When you see the mail after office hours, why should not I ?
2) Please understand the buyer does not need any technique - it is matter of funds he has. It is you-like gabbaret dancer who should expose herself to the audience  (反倒是你,像一个驳船上的舞女使劲暴露自己去吸引观众的眼球。)


3) Please do not underestimate any buyer from this part of world.
4) Mentioning the fax number in the message is more important than the bank balance and genuine buy leads?????????
5) Of course, you may be taller than me in business tactics which I do want to learn after all these years experience.
6) Once I conclude the deal in China, I will try to meet you - just for a cup of chinese tea with you.

Regards

读完这封信我感到很好笑。他显然以为我是久经沙场的老狐狸,可事实却是一只到处觅食的小雏鸟。小雏鸟这下不就看走眼了,无缘无故就得罪了一个潜在客户。不过话说回来,annoy 客户也会impress 客户。.何况阿西说过,只要将还在棋枰上就还有机会,于是我赶紧发了一封道歉信过去,很快地,他回复如下:

Dear My Mario,
(收过不少回邮,就Kumar在这儿用my,自然亲切。)
You have proved that you are really a gentleman.  I have admired your attitude that will take you to very higher altitude. My seventh sense says (if at all I have) the angered messages that  we have exchanged with each other may be the concrete foundation for our ensuing business relation. Before we proceed furhter, you have to make up your mind somewhat you will have to help us to complete our business deal.  Hence you should be so flexible to quote your prices.
...
...
...

You are aware that I am getting lots of offers from various manufacturers from China.  When I am visiting you, I will disclose you the lowest price from whom I got and I will demand you to decrease your price by atleast one US$ from that.  I will not spare you to allow me to go out of your office with empty hand.
Finally, I am thanking you in advance for making our deal materialized.  If so, let us switch over from just Chinese Tea to a grand Chinese feast.

Have a nice day and wishing you very happy new year My Son (Assuming that you are within 30s - foxes never get old)

Regards
收到这封信我很兴奋,仿佛看到了漫漫长夜尽头即将破晓的曙光。I will not spare you to allow me to go out of your office with empty hand...If so, let us switch over from just Chinese Tea to a grand Chinese feast。还有,那久违的感动,business email并不是都冷冰冰的,Have a nice day and wishing you very happy new year My Son (Assuming that you are within 30s - foxes never get old)...
...
...
   可能这一辈子都看不到Kumar了,但忘不了他袖着手戴着狗皮帽从车上跨下来的滑稽样,活像个冬天穿得厚厚的东北老汉。

Have a nice day and wishing you very happy new year My Son,太感动了。 I will not spare you to allow me to go out of your office with empty hand. Finally, I am thanking you in advance for making our deal materialized. If so, let us switch over from just Chinese Tea to a grand Chinese feast,让我想起我们的外教,一个60多岁的新加坡老头,大冬天学校宾馆没暖气冻得感冒,还坚持给我们上课,怕戴着口罩怕传染给我们。我们不好好学都觉得脸红。
