Price

B: we are interested in all kinds of your products, but this time we would like to order some hoola. Please quote us C.I.F. xini.

A: Please let us know the quantity required so that we can work out the premium and freight charges.

B2：We are going to place a trial order for1000 hoola.

A2: All right. Here are our F.O.B. price lists. All the prices are subject to our final confirmation.

B3: Do you offer discounts for plentiful purchases?

A: Yes, we do indeed. Our usual figure is around 5%, but that depends on the size of the order.

B: Oh, I think your prices are much too high for us to accept. Can you cut down the price for me?

A2: Sorry, It would be very difficult to come down with the price. I can assure you our price is very favorable.

B2: You know for the products like yours we usually get 2% or 3% discount from European suppliers.

A: The quantity you ordered is much smaller than those of others. If you can manage to boost it a bit, we’ll consider giving you a better discount.

B3: As far as a trial order is concerned, the quantity is by no means small. And generally speaking, we like to profit from a trial order. I hope you’ll be able to meet our requirements. A2：Well, as this is the first deal between us, we agree to give you an one-percent discount as a special encouragement.

B: 1%? That’s too low a rate. Could you see your way to increase it to 2%?

A:I’m afraid we have really made a great concession, and could not go any further.

B: It seems this is the only proposal for me to accept.

A2: I wish I could cut my price, even as a personal favor for you, but my hands are tied. My secretary tells me this is our bottom line.

A2: It's only because you're such a good customer that I'm willing to offer you this price. B: ok! I hope we can find some common ground on this.

A: Well, to get the business done, we can consider making some concessions in our price. But first, you’ll have to give me an idea of the quantity you wish to order from us, so that we may adjust our prices accordingly.

A: OK, no problem.

B2: It can be considered. Now what about the payment? Could you accept D／P or D／A? A: I'm afraid not，usually we only accept payment by irrevocable letter of credit payable against shipping documents．
