Negotiation language leaves room. A blunt 不行 (no) sounds harsh; softer phrasing like 这个价格有点难办 (that price is difficult) or 我们需要再商量一下 (we need to discuss) is preferred.

Quoting

我们的报价是…… (Our quote is…); 您这边能接受的价格是多少? (What price works for you?); 能不能给个更优惠的价格? (Could you offer a better price?)

Bargaining & Concessions

如果量大,我们可以适当让一点 (For larger volume we can give a little); 这是我们的底价了 (That's our bottom line); 各让一步,怎么样? (Shall we meet halfway?)

Closing

如果没问题,我们今天就可以把合同定下来 (If all is well, we can sign the contract today); 希望我们合作愉快 (Hope we have a great partnership).

Cultural Note

Chinese negotiation values 关系 (relationship) and long-term trust; the pace may be slower. Patience beats pressure.
