What’s to stop exporting companies from increasing prices?

Say I’m a Chinese manufacturer of plates. I have an American customer buying 6m yuan worth every year. Previously that cost them $1m USD. Now it only costs them $857k. In both cases I’m getting 6m yuan, so I’m happy. Or, do I increase the price to 7m yuan because I know that’s what the customer Usually pays, now I’m VERY happy?

Does this achieve the goal of growth (6m to 7m yuan) or does it not count because the volume stayed the same?
