CUMULATIVE REVOLVING LETTER OF CREDIT 25 Oct 2010 QUERY Dear Nguyen Huu Duc, Thank you for your blog, it is a very useful one. I want to propose to a customer a revolving LC.

Chơi Facebook kiểu này… chắc cũng hơi “khùng” thiệt Ngày cuối tháng Một năm 2026, Mr. Old Man tò mò vào Facebook, bấm thử mục Content Library để xem thống kê. Một thoáng giật mình vì tưởng nhìn nhầm: chỉ mới tháng đầu tiên của năm mà Mr. Old Man đã “sản xuất” tới 55 bài, bài nào cũng ngốn kha khá công sức lẫn… chất xám. Có một … Read More
My Superstition “Saved” Alcaraz from Zverev (!?) Watching the semifinal between Carlos Alcaraz and Alexander Zverev, I was literally… getting chest pains. After winning the first two sets 6–4 and 7–6(5), it looked like Alcaraz was about to make minced meat out of Zverev. But no — Zverev suddenly came back, took the next two sets 7–6(3) and 7–6(4), and then even led 3–1 in the fifth … Read More
Kiểu mê tín của Mr. Old Man đã “cứu” Alcaraz khỏi tay Zverev (!?) Xem trận bán kết giữa Carlos Alcaraz và Alexander Zverev mà Mr. Old Man muốn… tức ngực. Tưởng đâu sau hai set đầu thắng 6–4 và 7–6(5), Alcaraz sẽ “làm gỏi” Zverev. Ai dè đâu Zverev vùng dậy, thắng ngược hai set tiếp theo 7–6(3) và 7–6(4), rồi còn dẫn 3–1 ở set 5. Đến đây thì Mr. Old Man … Read More

Nhưng thỉnh thoảng, vào dịp lễ Tết, nghe có phim Việt “xem được”, Mr. Old Man cũng đưa gia đình ra rạp – trước là để giải trí chút cho vui, sau là để… “ủng hộ nền điện ảnh nước nhà” cho có tinh thần yêu nước Thế nhưng dạo … Read More
Negotiation vs. Discounting under LCs: What’s the Difference? Introduction In practice, the terms negotiation and discounting are often used interchangeably in letter of credit (LC) transactions.

QUESTION Hi, I would like to understand the difference between negotiation and discounting, particularly in cases where … Read More
Everyone Has Once Been… . Everyone has once been something. I have too — once this, once that. But in the end, it all comes down to just once was.

WHEN BEAUTIFUL LADIES RIDE BIKES I – Mr. Old Man – no longer race. But I still love standing behind, watching others do extraordinary things. There is a simple truth: I no longer have enough battery to smash out a few hundred kilometers a day, climb Hai Van just to warm up, or count every vertical meter on top of Monkey Mountain – Son Tra. … Read More
KHI NHỮNG NGƯỜI ĐẸP CHƠI XE ĐẠP Mr. Old Man giờ không đua nữa. Nhưng vẫn rất thích đứng phía sau xem người khác làm điều phi thường.
