Economy winter 金融的冬天

An email came this morning from a Japanese car-manufacturing customer.

It stated in the opening to thank everyone for a historic record car sales last year, immediately followed by " the outlook of this year is not as bright...".

The company is requesting immediately for 20% - 30% reduction in prices from all suppliers.

A Kondankai (chit chat) would be arranged to explain the Gentan-i (basic price) on other potential areas for further cost improvement (more cut?).

May be I have to tell this customer: Sayonara.... gojiyuu ni otori kudasai (please help yourself) !


今早收到一通顾客电邮,来自一家日本车制造厂。

信中开头就感谢大家过去一年来的支持,创下了历史性的最高汽车售量。紧接下来,就是说今年的展望,会不如去年了。。。。

这公司要求所有的供应商马上把供应的产品价钱调低 20 - 30 %。

公司也会再安排一次与供应商的“聚谈”,商量基本价钱的结构,看看能否再把价钱更降低。

看来我得向它说:沙唷娜那。。。阁下请自便吧!
