kenedyx: Buy half from your brother |
Re: Am I Wrong To Do This To My Brother? by Bonjovi13: 4:05pm On Jan 17, 2023 |
kenedyx: I worry for you. Why did you reach out to his supplier? Your brother may have sidelined some contractors who would have gladly accepted any deal he offered to get the contract. He got you in. Now you are concerned with how much he will make from the supply. You were prolly mellow before you got paid. Now the money is in your hands, you can't eat and allow him eat. You will learn that building and maintaining relationships is better than money. How long will the money you made last. You will want another supply. Its a small world and people are watching what you do. 1 Like |

kenedyx: Buy from your brother so as to keep the blood relationship and also buy from other vendors so as to still keep up some profits from the contract. |

kenedyx: I will allow him supply time and maybe sideline him next time if he’s not willing to meet me at the middle of his price quotation |

If he went above and beyond to secure the contract, don't be an ingrate because of money. He will definitely link yo to others. However, if he didn't help you secure it, do what's best for you. Wishing you the best. |

EstateVerify: lool at he would have gone to the suppliers suppliers. The bolded is the pure truth. If the OP is making his own reasonable profit he should let go shikena and buy from his bro. These things are not hard. Focus on your profit, keep your eye out of other peoples own. 1 Like |

Just look at yourself, you got a contract through em then you planned on sidelining, I think sometimes we have to play dumb just to make the windows of some opportunities available. I've had engineers who get projects out for me on regular bases but sometimes dip into my workmanship, I just play dumb or better yet use low quality materials, I think it's better to talk to em and make comparison with both materials prices you got in various places |

Tell me that you will go elsewhere if he does not reduce the price. |
Re: Am I Wrong To Do This To My Brother? by GboyegaD(m): 4:11pm On Jan 17, 2023 |
kenedyx: Is the price he is selling it to you the price he is selling it to others? Was he the one who gave you your price quotation for the contract? |
Re: Am I Wrong To Do This To My Brother? by AdaAwka1: 4:18pm On Jan 17, 2023 |
kenedyx: How did you get the contract? Your answer should determine wat you do. Be careful cos of next time |

kenedyx:. Relationship is all about give and take, buy some from him and the others from were it's cheaper. Let peace reign. |
Re: Am I Wrong To Do This To My Brother? by AdaAwka1: 4:19pm On Jan 17, 2023 |
kenedyx: If he had give the contract to someone else, u wouldn't have the opportunity you have now and he would still get his cut from that person. |

kenedyx:MY OWN 50 CENTS.... YOU ARE JUST AN UNGRATEFUL BASTARD. IF I WAS YOUR BROTHER I WOULD NOT EVEN ENGAGE IN ANY SORTS OF ARGUMENT WITH YOU, KARMA IS A BIATCH WITH ALL SORTS OF STD'S. THIS IS THE REASON THE BLACKMAN IS BACKWARD. GREED..... |
Re: Am I Wrong To Do This To My Brother? by Bromax: 4:24pm On Jan 17, 2023 |
Give him you own offer and as well tell what others are offering you, if he doesn't shift grounds then cut down his supply and get the rest from others. |
Re: Am I Wrong To Do This To My Brother? by Emotionss: 4:25pm On Jan 17, 2023 |
[color=#006600][/color] kenedyx: Op have you considered that the reason your brother is adamant with his price is because he is testing your loyalty ? Has it occurred to you that your brother will probably refund some capital back to you at the end of the transaction ? Don't allow greed and instant gratification blind you from seeing the bigger picture. |
Re: Am I Wrong To Do This To My Brother? by FaloNairaman: 4:25pm On Jan 17, 2023 |
Since the contract came through him, plus you have shown him the difference in price just buy from him.Money will come and go. Someone have to play the bigger one 1 Like |

kenedyx: It's not about being cheated. He's still your blood and his goodwill is important since he's part of the company. Even if you use his link, question is if you'll still make profits out of it. If yes, use his supply. |

Re: Am I Wrong To Do This To My Brother? by linearity: 4:29pm On Jan 17, 2023 |
kenedyx: Why not be open with with, show him the quote you got from the other suppliers and you should not compare his quote with that of his supplier. You got the job through him and got it merely because you are his brother and plus you have the skills. If you sideline him, next time I doubt if he will be contacting you. |

kenedyx: You have been fully paid before supplying the product? What a huge contract indeed. |
Re: Am I Wrong To Do This To My Brother? by Gospel2Day: 4:44pm On Jan 17, 2023 |
kenedyx: You have problem with money, if you are willing to forgo brotherhood because of cheap profit. Why not advise your brother to change his supplier so he can sell at cheaper price? Sometimes, we must choose to lose money in order to retain brotherliness. You don't know what can happen to you tomorrow, and they will send your kids to live with him. The seed you sow now will determine whether your children will suffer or enjoy at his hand/house. Tell him that you're only buying from him simply because he is your brother and not because it is the best price available to you. And that you may not patronize him next time. |
Re: Am I Wrong To Do This To My Brother? by KillamanJoe: 5:04pm On Jan 17, 2023 |
Patronize your brother. If the prices he is giving you is higher than your quote to the company. Buy like 50percent from him and buy the rest somewhere else in order for you to get some profit. Also recommend your suppliers to him so that he can sell at better prices to other customers as well. Dont sideline your brother because of money. Nobody knows tomorrow. I remeber my neigbour back then. He quarelled with his brother because of his wife. Now him and his wife are dead and they left 3 kids behind. Na the same brother go still look after them. Anyway, think beyond profit margin. |

kenedyx: You have done the right thing. However, let him know if he refuses to beat down his own price, he will lose the contract. That is fair enough 1 Like |

If it's your brother that paved the way for the job, let him know the cost comparisons as u mentionedallow but let him to have his way,. If you don't,you may never get a job through him. He may not be alone in the business,there maybe other interests in his office. In such type of contracts you will kill the relationship if u show a sign of greed or that u too Sabi . |
