James: Will you consider reducing your price by 10% ？

Lin: That's much more than we can do for you．But considering our long friendly business relationship, we are ready to reduce our price by 5 % if your quantity is not less than 5000 pieces．You know, business mainly rely on the size of your order.

James: We accept the quantity．But for this quantity, our final counter- offer requires a cut of 7%．I hope you'll consider it again.

Lin: Since it is a big order, I think we'll accept your price as an exception．It's quite a bargain.

James: If I place an order now, when would you be able to ship it ？

Lin: We should be able to get that off to you right away．Are you ready to place your order now？

James: The order will be mailed to you next week.
