"I wonder if you're able to fulfill my demand, Mr. Maxwell. After all, you're supplying at least 80% of your material to my Big brother's company, right?" Vernon asked.
"That—"
"I'm afraid that you might bite off more than you can chew. This beverage will be launched in the early spring, and you need to ship a lot of them to the factory in Southern Europe," Vernon said. "I've made it clear that I won't be funding the shipping because I can always find another supplier located in Europe instead."
What Vernon said made sense. He wasn't really interested in taking a supply from the U.S when that beverage product would be launched in Europe.
He could take a supply from Europe or Asia, which was connected by land, and should be cheaper.
"You know that I never plan to take material supplies from the states, right?" Vernon said. "So, unless you can supply me with the best quality material, then there will be no deal between us, Mr. Maxwell."
