Example of Debt Inflating and Me Operating at the other extreme spectrum.

Wednesday: I asked my engineering team to reach out to a new supplier for a machine spare parts (The same one i visited few weeks ago)

Thursday: The CEO of the company was contaced by my team,  and he sent his man to collect the sample sparepart from my factory.

Thursday: CEO sent a price offer to my inox and sent me a message on whatsapp. Netiher did i open the email nor did i open his whatsapp.

Sunday: The CEO called me and started complaining that my engineer never responded to his calls, did not reply to his price offer and that my engineer is now wanting the sample back.

In a 5 min conversation, he was repeating the follwoing points over and over again

1. CEO spent money to send his team to my factory to have the sample collected.
2. Because our item was not readility available, He specially ordered the Spare Part for us from germany.
3. My team did not reply to him
4. I must buy the belt from him because point 1 and point 2.

and he kept on going in circles!

I had no idea what was hapenning in my factory end, so i asked him to stop, and that i would get into the matters and get back to him.

So i called my engineer asking him about the issue.

My engineer told me that the guy is a fraud. He was charging 4x the market rate. and was giving different stories, to justify the price. The engineer never confirmed the oredr in the first place, but only asked for the price.

After finding out the truth, I called back the CEO

I asked him, Whether my team gave him a work order but now they are not willing to make payment.

He replied that he went ahead and opened a Letter of import Credit without order confirmation because he respects me,

I repeated my work order question again.

he repeated the same answer as before.

Now, I got angry! In a angry voice i charged him!

"Why are you bringing my name into it, I did not even talk to you regarding this issue!"

then he went on to talk about huimanity and morals!.

then i charged him, that it was not possible to open import documents in such a short time, plus banks don't allow opening lc's of such small value.

and now he revealed the truth, that he was having a shipment coming anyway, so our sapre parts were included in that! but all this while he was telling me about how he urgently processed the LC for us and what not. i don't know why he would assume that i hav no idea of how imports work.

Tipping point was reached

i just asked him to F off and never message me again, then I hung up! Asked my purhase team to blacklist him.

1 hour of office productivity wasted!
