Despite how much I wanted to stay with my friend, now that I have her back, I had to go to work. One of my companies had problems and spent the last three days meeting with lawyers, clients and entrepreneurs to find a solution. The investment consisted of assembling electronic devices in a factory in China from parts manufactured in other Asian countries. Due to some political hypocrisy, the government has introduced higher import taxes on the category of products coming from China. Increased costs also meant a higher price. We were already struggling with sales and the new price would put us at a disadvantage compared to our competitors. Moving the factory or any other solution did not fit the business model and would entail more costs than anything else. The only thing that made sense and could reduce our losses would be to dissolve and file for bankruptcy. The overseas part of the business mainly involved subcontractors, so I did not care as much about it as the local employees. Mo
