Understanding the gravity of the situation, I immediately went back to my room to pack my bags and informed Lina she'd be joining me on this business trip.

Having already touched base with our local suppliers, it was clear none could meet our demands in bulk. Our only option was to look out of state.

Initially, Clyde was against me making the trip alone, but with York stirring up trouble and jeopardizing several projects, Clyde had no choice but to stay behind.

Unfortunately, even in neighboring states, only a handful of factories could offer limited supplies, making the venture cost-ineffective.

Just as I was hitting a wall, Vinson called with a lead on some stock at an incredibly low price.

"Only thing is, it's in Eclipse City. Transport costs are gonna be a bit higher, and it's not the easiest place to reach."

"We should definitely check out the goods in person for our first deal. When can you make it?"

Eclipse City, mostly accessible through winding mountain roads, posed a significant challenge for transporting large quantities of building materials, indeed increasing costs.

After running the numbers, considering transportation and potential losses, I felt the risk might be worth taking.

"Vinson, get in touch with the factory for me. I'm down to take a look."

"Great, I've already set up a partnership with them. See you at the airport tomorrow," Vinson said, hanging up before I could even respond.
