COMMISSION
Jones: Mr. Xiong, we are anxious to know your usual practice in giving commission.
Xiong: Actually, we don't give any commission in general.
Jones: I'm afraid it goes against the usual commercial practice not to allow a commission.
Xiong: Mr. Jones, you must be aware that the articles under offer are our best sellers. Besides, the prices we quoted are very keen and the profit margin is rather narrow. It's really impossible for us to make any further concession by allowing you any commission.
Jones: But you see, Mr. Xiong, as commission agents we do business on commission basis. In fact, we usually get a 3 to 5 percent commission from European suppliers.
Xiong: Well, if you'll increase your order we shall perhaps consider your request.
Jones: Do you think so? What do you say if we increase the order by 15000 yards?
Xiong: In that case we may consider giving you a 3 percent commission.
Jones: Good. But there's one think I wish to have your special attention.
Xiong: What is it?
Jones: Do not deduct our commission from the value of the consignment.
Xiong: I beg your pardon?
Jones: I'm afraid I haven't made myself clear. I mean you write the full value in the invoice just the same. And it's only after you've collected the full payment of the L/C, will you then remit us our commission.
Xiong: I see your point now. We'll do as you wish.
