王先生，您又来了，今天想喝点什么？
Wáng xiānsheng, nín yòu lái le, jīntiān xiǎng hē diǎn shénme?
Mr. Wang, you're here again. What would you like to drink today?
W
老样子，一杯美式。其实今天来，我还想跟你商量一件事。
Lǎo yàngzi, yì bēi měishì. Qíshí jīntiān lái, wǒ hái xiǎng gēn nǐ shāngliang yí jiàn shì.
The usual, an Americano. Actually, I came today because I also want to discuss something with you.
L
哦？您说说看，是跟您公司有关的事吗？
Ó? Nín shuōshuo kàn, shì gēn nín gōngsī yǒuguān de shì ma?
Oh? Go ahead and tell me. Is it something related to your company?
W
对。我们办公室就在旁边，员工每天都要喝咖啡，所以我想问问能不能包月配送。
Duì. Wǒmen bàngōngshì jiù zài pángbiān, yuángōng měitiān dōu yào hē kāfēi, suǒyǐ wǒ xiǎng wènwen néng bù néng bāoyuè pèisòng.
Yes. Our office is right nearby, and the employees drink coffee every day, so I want to ask whether you could do a monthly delivery plan.
L
这个当然没问题，我们本来就有配送服务。请问您公司大概有多少人？
Zhège dāngrán méi wèntí, wǒmen běnlái jiù yǒu pèisòng fúwù. Qǐngwèn nín gōngsī dàgài yǒu duōshao rén?
That's no problem at all; we already offer delivery service. May I ask roughly how many people are in your company?
W
现在有二十个人，一般每人一天一到两杯，主要点拿铁和美式。
Xiànzài yǒu èrshí ge rén, yìbān měi rén yì tiān yí dào liǎng bēi, zhǔyào diǎn nátiě hé měishì.
Right now there are twenty people, usually one to two cups per person a day, mainly ordering lattes and Americanos.
L
明白了。如果按月订购的话，我可以给您打九折，配送费也可以免掉。
Míngbái le. Rúguǒ àn yuè dìnggòu de huà, wǒ kěyǐ gěi nín dǎ jiǔ zhé, pèisòng fèi yě kěyǐ miǎn diào.
I see. If you order on a monthly basis, I can give you a ten percent discount, and I can waive the delivery fee too.
W
那太好了。那送的时间呢？我们上午十点休息，那个时候送最方便。
Nà tài hǎo le. Nà sòng de shíjiān ne? Wǒmen shàngwǔ shí diǎn xiūxi, nàge shíhou sòng zuì fāngbiàn.
That's great. What about the delivery time? We take a break at ten in the morning, so that's the most convenient time to deliver.
L
没问题，上午十点我们正好不忙，可以准时送到。您打算从哪天开始？
Méi wèntí, shàngwǔ shí diǎn wǒmen zhènghǎo bù máng, kěyǐ zhǔnshí sòng dào. Nín dǎsuàn cóng nǎ tiān kāishǐ?
No problem. At ten in the morning we happen to not be busy, so we can deliver right on time. Which day do you plan to start?
W
下周一吧。付款方面，我能不能月底一次结清？这样对我们财务比较方便。
Xià zhōuyī ba. Fùkuǎn fāngmiàn, wǒ néng bù néng yuèdǐ yí cì jié qīng? Zhèyàng duì wǒmen cáiwù bǐjiào fāngbiàn.
Let's start next Monday. As for payment, can I settle it all at once at the end of the month? That's more convenient for our finance department.
L
完全可以。我每个月底给您开一张发票，您核对好了再转账就行。
Wánquán kěyǐ. Wǒ měi ge yuèdǐ gěi nín kāi yì zhāng fāpiào, nín héduì hǎo le zài zhuǎnzhàng jiù xíng.
Absolutely. At the end of each month I'll issue you an invoice, and you can just transfer the money after you've checked it.
W
太好了，那就这么定了。有你们的咖啡，我们员工上班肯定天天都开心。
Tài hǎo le, nà jiù zhème dìng le. Yǒu nǐmen de kāfēi, wǒmen yuángōng shàngbān kěndìng tiāntiān dōu kāixīn.
Great, then it's settled. With your coffee, our employees will surely be happy at work every single day.
