John wants to buy a laptop. Now he is bargaining with the seller.
John: What's the price of the laptop?
Seller: It's 6500 yuan . You will get it on the price tag.
John: It's a little overpriced. Is there any discount on the laptop?
Seller: We can give you a discount of 5 percent for cash.
John: It's still dear. I will consider it if you lower the price. How about 5000 yuan ?
Seller: Of course not. I can’t give you any cheaper.
John: Come on, give me a break on this.
Seller: Let's come to a compromise. You can have it in the price of 5800 yuan . It is our rock bottom price.
John: All right, I'll take it.
