Offshoring

Customer: "I would like to buy your product"
Owner: "That will be 10 dollars."
Customer: "Sounds Good."

Owner: "Will you build me this product?"
Employee: "Sure, I just need to be paid enough to feed and house my family, and a little to save for the future."
Owner: "Sounds good."

Employee delivers product to owner, owner delivers to customer and collects 10 dollars.

Owner: "Here is your dollar."
Employee: "Thank you."

Owner thinks, "I need more money, what can I do? I can't raise my prices or my customer will go elsewhere. I know, I'll offshore my labour."
