answer: #Person1# is going to place a trial order for 1, 000 units of a dozen fireworks and 500 cartons of mosquito coil incense and asks for a discount. #Person2# agrees to give #Person1# a 1% discount as this is the first deal between them. They will discuss it in detail tomorrow.
documents: #Person1#: I'm interested in all kinds of your products, but this time I would like to order some fireworks and mosquito coil incense. Please quote us C. I. F. Rangoon.
  #Person2#: Please let us know the quantity required so that we can work out the premium and freight charges.
  #Person1#: I'm going to place a trial order for 1, 000 units of a dozen fireworks and 500 cartons of mosquito coil incense.
  #Person2#: All right. Here are our F. O. B. price lists. All the prices are subject to our final confirmation.
  #Person1#: Your price is reasonable but I wonder if you would give us a discount. You know for the products like yours we usually get 2 % or 3 % discount from European suppliers.
  #Person2#: We usually offer on a net basis only. Many of our clients have been doing very well on this quoted price.
  #Person1#: Discounts will more or less encourage us to make every effort to push sales of your products.
  #Person2#: 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.
  #Person1#: 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.
  #Person2#: Well, as this is the first deal between us, we agree to give you an one-percent discount as a special encouragement.
  #Person1#: 1 %? That's too low a rate. Could you see your way to increase it to 2 %? .
  #Person2#: I'm afraid we have really made a great concession, and could not go any further.
  #Person1#: It seems this is the only proposal for me to accept. I'll come again tomorrow to discuss it in detail.
  #Person2#: All right. See you tomorrow.
