When agriculture was able to meet demand, sugar prices crashed overnight. Companies that had bet big on expensive inventory suddenly found themselves drowning in debt. Pepsi declared bankruptcy.

If I could start over, said Ko Jang-su, I would do anything but open a cafe. Mr. Ko's cafe is one of the busiest coffee shops in his densely populated neighborhood of Seoul.

Reffkin spent his time on the stand explaining Compass's three-phased marketing strategy and how his firm planned to expand the advertisement of this strategy, as well as its private listing network after the National Association of Realtors (NAR) announced clarifications about its Clear Cooperation Policy (CCP) in late-March. However, Reffkin claimed that this expansion of the three-phased marketing strategy and private listings was scrapped after Zillow announced its policy in early-April. According to Reffkin, Zillow's announcement chilled the adoption of Compass's strategy and stifled his firm's growth and innovation.
