翻訳ありがとうございます。当初の半年間は、”1回当たりの最低発注量を10個にして欲しい” というだけで、1ヶ月当たりの発注量ではありません。ここだけ訂正をお願いします。

申し訳ありませんでした。"For a half year from the startup, our minimum ordering quantity will be 10 units a month”を"For a half year from the startup, our minimum ordering quantity at each order will be 10 units a month"に修正をお願いいたします。

ん？いや、ですから、一ヶ月の発注量でありませんよ(笑)。
"10 units per order" ということで良いのでしょうか？

[deleted user]- almost 11 years ago
ごめんなさい削除を忘れました"For a half year from the startup, our minimum ordering quantity at each order will be 10 units”です。度々申し訳ありませんが差し替えお願いいたします。

半年経過後、最低発注量は徐々に増やすようにします。
もし、半年間で全く結果を出せない場合には、私は日本総代理の
権利を諦めます。

この最低発注量・卸金額が貴方にとって厳しいものであることは
十分に理解しています。

しかし、私達もプロモーションにかなりの費用を掛ける為、
恐らく、100台程度販売しても殆ど利益は出せないでしょう。

私達は、日本のウェブサイトを製作するにあたり、PPC,SEO対策の
トッププロから直接アドバイスを貰います。

それだけ、本気でこの商品に取り組みたいと考えています。

Translation / English

I will make sure the least number of orders would increase after half a year.
However, if half a year passess by and the results are still not showing, then I would quit as its Japan representative.

I clearly understand that you find the least number of orders and wholesale price strict.

However, we would also charge you for the promotion expenses, so even if 100 pieces of this item would be sold, you wouldn't be able to make considerable profit from it.

We get direct advices from the top professionals of PPC and SEO measures regarding the creation of a Japan website.

We really want for us to handle this product.

翻訳ありがとうございます。
真ん中のブロック(However~)について、フォローをお願いしたいのですが、この文面だと依頼文の意味を捉えていません。

私は今、製造元のメーカーと日本代理店契約の交渉しています。
メーカーの希望する卸額よりも、低い金額で卸してくれるよう交渉しています。

そこで、
－－－－
この最低発注量・卸金額が貴方にとって厳しいものであることは
十分に理解しています。

しかし、私達もプロモーションにかなりの費用を掛ける為、
恐らく、100台程度販売しても殆ど利益は出せないでしょう。
－－－－
ということです。つまり、製造元のメーカーにとっては、当初厳しい卸値
を私は要求するが、日本における商品のプロモーションに私は十分な
費用を掛けるので、私がこの商品を100台程度販売しても私が得られる
利益は殆ど無いでしょう…。という意味です。

上記を元に、訂正・フォローを頂けると助かります。

Translation / English

We will try slowly raise our order volume over the next half year.
If there are no results after half a year, I will give up all my privileges as representative.
I fully understand that this minimum order volume, wholesale sum, is very strict towards you.

But, since we spend alot of money on promotion even if we would sell 100 pieces, there would hardly be any profit.

For designing japanese websites we receive direct advice from top pros in the field of PPC and SEO counter-measures.
That's how much we seriously want to tackle this product.

Translation / English

After passing the first six months, we will try to increase the purchase gradually.
If we cannot show the positive output after the first six months, we will draw out ourselves as the sole distributor in Japan.

We really understand that it is quite hard for you for selling the items at this minimum ordering quantity and the price.

However, as we are going to invest considerable amount for the promotion to increase the visibility, we think that we will not be making profit even we could sell 100 units.

For constructing the website, we will request the direct advices from the top level professional in the field of the PPC and SEO.

Please understand how we are serious to start dealing with this items.

日本は、ショートスケボーが主流の為、私達はこの
ロングスケボーを一気に普及させるようなテクニックは
持ち合わせていません。この商品が日本で売れ始めるのには、
少し時間を掛ける必要があるものと考えています。

しかし、このスケボーには既存の製品には無い素晴らしい
商品力があり、この製品はきっと長く日本で販売できる可能性がある
と我々は確信しています。

私達に任せて貰えるなら、雑貨店の１商品としてこの製品を
扱うようなことは決してしません。この商品に最適な方法で日本へ
普及させることをお約束します。

Translation / English

Short skateboards are the mainstream in Japan. Because of this, we don't have any techniques to make this long skateboard popular at once. I think that it would take quite a while until this item sells in Japan.

However, this skateboard has an amazing appeal that can't be found on the existing product, so we believe that this would most likely sell in Japan for a long time.

If you entrust this to us, we won't handle it like it's just one of the products in our store. We promise to spread this product in Japan in the most suitable method.

Translation / English

Regular skateboard dominates the market in Japan. We do not have the ability to sell longboards in massive numbers at once. We believe this product needs time before it starts selling in Japan.

However, the longboard has a marketful appeal lacking in skateboards currently popular. We strongly believe that this product will be be profitable for an extensive period of time.

If we may handle this product, we will not treat it as a mere product sold in a retail store; we promise to prevail the longboard in the Japanese market in the best method possible.

Translation / English

Since the mainly used skateboards in japan are short skateboards, we don't have any techniques at hand to spread longboards. I think it will take a bit of time

But, this skateboard has a wonderful product appeal, that other existing products right now don't have, so we are convinced it can be sold in japan for a long time.

If you entrust this to us, we will definetly not treat as just one article in a general store. We promise to spread this article in Japan with the best strategy possible.
