A Business Trip

Hi Kelly,

I just got an e-mail from Golden Toy Tech. They manufacture our new RC toy car. They have a
problem with the production of the remote control. Since we are on a tight promotion schedule,
I think it would be faster to fly there and figure out the problem

Also, our contract with them is ending soon. So we should try to re-negotiate it with them.
Although they are considered experts in this kind of toy, lately they have had several issues with
importing materials. A tropical storm caused a problem last year. But they always have problems.
I don’t think they are capable of working with us anymore.
