A.3. The Oasis Car Wash
What ever happened to our car wash venture? Soon after receiving our business license, we were approached by Ron, the straight-laced owner of the car washing company with whom we partnered and shared resources during each other's peak hours. Ron presented us with a buy-out offer which, after some discussion, we decided to accept. Bob, Jim, and I left our soaps and buckets behind to seek new opportunities. Chuck, though, was asked by Ron to continue working at the car wash. Chuck took care of all the administration, and Ron recognized him as a valuable resource for the upcoming integration effort of merging the two companies into a single (hopefully service-oriented) car washing enterprise.
