Well, regarding the estimate you proposed this time. To be honest, there's no way to pass internal approval at this price.

Is that so. We intended to offer a price that we worked very hard on, despite the soaring material costs...

Yes, I am well aware of your company's efforts. However, without a 10% cost reduction, the project itself will not be viable.

10%... That's a little tough.

Can't you somehow manage that? We believe our company exists thanks to yours, and we feel there's no other reliable partner besides your company.

Since you put it that way, we have no choice but to consider it.

Thank you. Regarding the official order, depending on the conditions this time, we are also considering increasing the volume further.

Understood. Then, instead of keeping the main unit price as is, how about we aim for a practical cost reduction by making the post-implementation support fee free for the first year?
