How are you doing ? Pretty good , I imagine ?   Actually not so good . That's why we made a special trip to see you .   OK , let me hear it . I'd be glad to help if I can .   Good . I want to discuss with you the mode of payment for the construction of the power plant under negotiation .   Well , I trust that your presence will hasten the settlement of payment terms .   I would like to explain to you our financial position . The manufacture of machinery and its accessories and parts will consume both time and money . It takes five years to manufacture the machinery and we will have to advance the cost for the main machines to be produced , and besides this there are large sums to be paid to our subcontractors for the manufacture of the accessories and parts .   But for an enterprise of your size , an order from us will certainly not embarrass you financially .   Well , in fact , it is beyond our financial capability .   In what way can we solve the problem ?   Have you considered the possibility of a buyer's credit ?   Yes . But the sum is large , it must be provided by a group of banks .
