Basil Jaak arrived at Audrey Car Beauty Shop, and Audrey immediately called Basil into the office.
With an anxious face, Audrey placed a report on the desk and pointed at the data, saying to Basil, "Jaak, our parts supplier suddenly raised costs by thirty percent, resulting in our inability to get the stock."
Basil, chin in hand, asked, "Do you know why?"
Audrey shook her head, "The price increase was so sudden; I hadn't anticipated it at all, and there were no signs in the market. I tried calling them to negotiate, but their people are either on business trips, in meetings, or on vacation. The only one who answered told me not to ask any more questions, that no supplier in Rong City would supply us with goods."
Basil Massaged his temples; this matter seemed a lot more complicated than it appeared on the surface. It was no longer a simple business activity.
Audrey leaned in close, lowering her voice, "Jaak, I think this is being done on purpose!"
