What's the price ? I hope you'll quote us favorably .   It's 800 US dollars per kilo CIF five percent Hamburg .   Frankly speaking , the price you offer is too high . We can't accept it .   Why ? This is a fair market price .   It certainly is .   Then what leads you to think that we have to reduce our price ? Please tell me candidly .   I look at it this way , suppliers should be able to reduce their CIF price , even lower than their home price .   We give you quotations on the same basis as we quote in the domestic market .   That's the point . Your overhead is in your domestic price , but it can't be carried in the CIF price .   But even with the overhead out , the export overhead must be put in . Finally , it comes to the same thing . Anyway , this is a quality item and should be sold on its value .   I wish you could make a reconsideration . If you don't reduce your price , we won't purchase from you any more because there's plenty of other business offering here .
