Hi, Buddy
5h&U U2Mw#c'`/i
w9`6a1G~Pc U1V It is impossible for our factory to low down the price by 300%, I have had many discussion with our factory, because most of our prices are higher than others. We just can low under 0.5RMB, that is the limitation. So, it is still a long way to customer's needs.

tell you customer the detail you have quote ,show your sincerity , and advise she  purchase these items from  Chinese market is unfitable at the moment. And once the price down , email she again.

Business is for profit. }oa2pP5^(}y

iH If your boss can get profit from it,he will try to catch it.

increase is with all chinese companies, not only with you. d$O"KX"QCf
ask your customer, if they just pursue low price but ignore quality and other services.. they may lose more than they save in unit price....

I do not know what the profit is for our factory. Maybe 50% or 100%. But our factory is very bad in his line. Most of our work have been worked by other factories.   8ko3e+O2]9R

Then, the price will be added other factories' profit.

To be honest, she is an american. And I have done one deal with her before. She has high demand on the quality as well as lower price.

For this time, the problem is that our price is three times higher even our price compare with Amercan.

3\*zg;Sv)T+V     You are totally right there. Our basic salary is very low. Also, our accommodation is very bad.
._)G3t(q\AGzr     And our factory's capacity is not as well as others.There are just  60-70 stuff in5hI&?ql(pI
our factory. Including all the stuff.
4uIJ6RK(N%i;wH      But I wonder why there are so many cars? The month performance of our foreign department is not very good. How can they buy so man cars?j$p8N W]-EO`

g \2qb'j4p-R3^7j/B        Buddy, you remind of me such kind of problem.:handshake

i meet it often

in fact ,the price is the primary element in our foreigh trade, if your company cannot reduce the price, it is impossible for u to do business with your old customer, try to show her some other items.

My director said

Dear Catherine;RP0H6Ko,y&Aq
     She told me on her last E_ mail ( I have not received any other news from her since I explain why the price is high and give her a suggestion).  She would like to buy those items from others, because other factory can supply her with double lower price.

what a sad news..

dUt my friend, all the boss wnat to make big profit, they never think of mutual benefit.
