Tokyo Electron Supplier Confesses Small Biz Are Snack-Sized Profits
In a confession almost as shocking as a vending machine running out of soda, Marumae, head of Tokyo Electron supplier, revealed that tiny companies apparently donât score the luxury of negotiating power. They canât demand 'better prices and lower costs,' resulting in pitiful profit margins flirting below 10%. Itâs 2024, and small enterprises feel like theyâre stuck paying top dollar for a burger at a gourmet joint, while giants get it supersized and cheap. No $1 super deals for the little guy, which really puts the 'small' in 'small business.' Talk about a micro-sized margin crisis!

Small companies trying to negotiate better prices? Cute. Tokyo Electronâs supplier says they donât have the muscle, so profits are under 10%âbasically, corporate David vs. Goliath, except David forgot his slingshot.
Marumae basically said small businesses pay corporate Americaâs version of a cover charge. No VIP discounts here, just the 'please settle for scraps' special.
Lower price demands for small businesses? Tokyo Electronâs supplier says no can do. Guess monopoly means everyone gets to pay the big bills equally, yay capitalism!
