Gayan-what else, because it is an old module

Thusath-then if that is the reason we must put it on sale.

Gayan-yes sir then how much would be the discount percentage would be

Thusath-like 5% or 6% but make sure not to get over the bought price. We would have a lose

Gayan-got it sir

Later on Gayan is speaking to him self
