I sat on my chair inside the meeting room
Surrounding the table are my trusted employees.
As i sip my coffee, i listen to them talk to each other about everything. It makes me smile to know that theae are MY people.
Hardworking, diligent, commited to their craft and lastly, shares the same passion as me..
My shop is a coffee shop. I may not have an empire, but my business is not that bad.
Everybody likes coffee. May it be hot or cold.
I have been running this small cafe for years now.
We never run out of customers to serve.mainly because my people are the best. We even have our regulars, who basically now became our friends.
Let's start the meeting.
Guys, anything you want to share?
Boss, we have a small problem
Yes mike?
Mike is my manager.
He oversees anything and everything in the shop.
And he is also, always, the bearer of problems.
Uhmm.. we're running out of coffee..
Huh?
I mean boss.. our supplier of coffee will no longer supply our coffee needs.
He says the new owner of the company has cut off all their transactions with all the shops in the countryside.
Why is that? What happened Mike?
They said there's a new owner.
Have you tried contacting other suppliers?
Yes i did Boss.
But they all say the ssme thing. NEW OWNER.
But who is that OWNER Mike??
Why are they doing this?
What are they trying to do with us? How can we continue to operate without COFFEE for Gods sake!
Uhm, Boss i heard that all of them has the same owner now.
HUH?!
THEN WHO IS IT!?
He goes by the name of MR. L, from the L.Y. Group in A city.
Mr. L? A city? Who is he?!
I really dont know Boss.
He seems mysterious. Nobody knows who and what he's like.
All i know is that one day he just decided to buy all the coffee producing companies in the countryside. And nobody knows what he's gonna do.
So what are we gonna do Boss?
Let me think it through ok?
For now, lets open up.
Can we still open the shop?
Yes Boss.
We can still open the shop. Our coffee supply might still last for 2 to 3 weeks. Or a month max at least.
Boss, we have faith in you.
We know you'll find a solution for this problem.
Thanks guys. Thanks for having faith
Ill think of a way to solve this.
I wont let you guys down.
We'll pull through alright??
Now, go!
Yes Boss Hey!!
