answer: Smith and #Person1# are discussing details of a deal that promises big returns for both sides. They discuss the amout of units to sell and shipment.
documents: #Person1#: How about 15 % the first six months and the second six months at 12 % with a guarantee of 3000 units?
  #Person2#: That's a lot to sell with very low profit margins.
  #Person1#: It's about the best we can do, Smith. We need to hammer something out today. If I go back empty-handed, I may be coming back to you soon to ask for a job.
  #Person2#: OK. 17 % the first six months, 14 % for the second.
  #Person1#: Good. Let's iron out the remaining details. When do you want to take delivery?
  #Person2#: We'd like you to execute the first order by the 31 st.
  #Person1#: Let me run through this again, the first shipment for 1500 units to be delivered in 27 days by the 31 st.
  #Person2#: Right. We couldn't handle much larger shipments.
  #Person1#: Fine. But I'd prefer the first shipment to be 1000 units, the next 2000. The 31 st is quite soon, I can't guarantee 1500.
  #Person2#: I can agree to that. Well, if there's nothing else, I think we've settled everything.
  #Person1#: Tom, this deal promises big returns for both sides. Let's hope it's the beginning of a long and prosperous relationship.
