印度人真的狠不要臉... - 國貿工作討論

我們家有組印度客人,不知道為什麼.我來公司時,
這家印度客人就是open account ( 15 days)
但是付款從來沒有準時過.
也都拖很久. 15 days 大概都拖到 100 days

5筆應收帳款,假定金額為 USD 20, USD 1000,USD 2000,USD 35,USD 3000
一定是先付USD 1000+2000
問他USD 20,USD 35呢 ? 他說下次付.
下次付時 應收帳款又累積成USD 20,USD 35,USD 3000,USD 500,USD 1200
然後只付USD 3000

我老闆都還是幫他出貨,下訂單,
累積下來,USD 20,USD 35 就是永遠不會付就對了.每次都說
We'll pay within next time.
這種拖延戰術曾經跟我拖延過二年
有一次我老闆說,一毛都不能少..他們才付錢.因為已經搞到訂單來不接,不下採購單
他們急了才甘願付掉

我們也是他們的IPO
除了跟我們採購之外.我們也幫他們向指定廠商採購.
大多數都是要T/T in advance的. 結果印度人給我們拖延貨款
最扯的是去年12月出了4000多USD 今年1月跟你說東西有問題,拒付貨款
但是是他自己指定 approve的產品,供應商...
結果搞了很久,今年10月他跟我們老闆說 還是沒辦法直接付款.
但是願意用其他方式make up

然後,因為他們欠的貨款實在太多...
八月份的貨款欠到現在
他們本來說11月的第二周會付....結果..是在12月的第一周會付
11月之後我們就已經拒絕出貨了.但是他有個東西急著要
所以我老闆還是幫他單出那個item. 算一算那筆貨款也在今天on due了
假定總貨款USD 12,000 今天on due的是USD 2000.

但是他們該付的貨款..還是沒付.
然後他寫信來叫我們幫他出貨.說會盡量在12/15之前付欠的貨款
(但是自動把今天on due 那筆刪除)
我跟他說.反正你就是全部都要付款.不然我不會出貨
( 因為一些原因.老闆也放任我挑明了說..不再含蓄地說了)

然後下午我就接到電話了 以下我寫英文比較快..

Indian: Please arrange the shipment today.
me: No,it's too late.

India: Please arrange the shipment tomorrow.
me: No, it's weekend, we don't work.

Indian: please arrange the shipment next monday.
me: Sorry , we can not ship anything. Because we are still waiting for
the o/s payment.

Indian: but I need them urgently.
me: but we've waited the payment for long time. and our finance manager locks
the shipment already.

Indian: I want to talk to your finance manager.
me:he's out of office.

Indian: I want to talk to Maggie ( Maggie是我主管)
me:I don't know if she's in the office, hold on, i'll check it for you.

然後Maggie說..Maggie不在~~..╮(﹋﹏﹌)╭..

me: Sorry, maggie is out of office as well,and she's not coming back until
next monday.
Indian: why don't you send the shipment for me ? it's urgent.
me:We've waited for the payment for long time.

Indian:I request you to release the shipment, and we'll try to pay USD 10,000
before 15-DEC.
me:I'm sorry, we need to receive USD 12,000.

Indian:The USD 2,000 is not over due yet.
me: but the USD 2,000 is on due today, it'll be over due if you pay them next
week.

Indian: It's just 1 day over due. ( 意思就是才差一天你幹嘛那麼計較)
me: but it's OVER DUE.

Indian: why are you not trust me ?
I promise you we'll try to pay before 15-DEC.
me:you promised lots of time. but we still haven't got the money.

Indian: I need them urgently, I want to talk to your finance manger.
me: he's out of office.

Indian: When will he be back ?
me: (逼急了.....) he's not coming back today, and he DOESN'T speak English.

Indian:He doesn't speak English ?
me: No,he doesn't speak English.

Indian: so..you mean..I need to learn Chinese if I want to talk to him ?
me: I'm afraid ...yes. but it takes a long while.

Indian:I want to talk to Maggie.
me: she's out of office. and she's not coming back. she'll be back next Mon.

Indian: I need her mobile phone number.
me: Sorry,I can not give it to you, that's her private number.

Indian:I shall call her next monday.
me: yes, please.

其實整段對話大概....快半小時
一直在i promise,we wait long 這樣無窮迴圈....
掛上電話之後.我跟Maggie說....我們的對話狀況.
然後告訴Maggie..下周一印度人會再打電話來給Maggie
我還是會跟印度人說Maggie不在
結果這時候的Maggie嚴肅地跟我說: 我下周一真的不在\⊙▽⊙/

印度人的臉皮真的是厚到極點...
但是今天下午的鬼打牆對話..還真的是很妙
我們家助理說..那什麼爛藉口.finance manager doesn't speak English都出來啦!!!!
但是很好笑( ′-`)y-～
