The next day, Roman prepared himself for the meeting with MedTech, a medical device manufacturer facing a critical software issue.
The previous day's negotiations had been intense, with Roman starting at a price point of $800,000, which MedTech had rejected.
He had subsequently lowered his offer to $600,000, emphasizing that this was his final proposal. MedTech had countered with $300,000, which Roman had declined, leading to a temporary impasse.
After prolonged negotiations, the parties had agreed on a compromise price of $500,000, with MedTech sending an initial payment of $250,000. Today's meeting aimed to assess the software problem and potentially resolve it on the spot.
As Roman arrived at MedTech's offices, he was greeted by the CEO, who expressed relief at his presence. "Roman, thank you for coming. We're eager to find a solution to this critical issue."
Roman replied, "I'm here to assist, but let's establish a clear understanding - my primary objective is to fix the problem, and I expect full cooperation from your team."
The CEO nodded, and Roman was escorted to the server room where the software issue was located. With a deep breath, he began his assessment, ready to tackle the challenge ahead.
Roman, a resourceful individual, arrived at MedTech's offices, ready to tackle the critical situation. He had acquired a unique skill from a mysterious system, which he believed would help him resolve the software issue. With a confident demeanor, he began analyzing the portable defibrillator's software, determined to identify the root cause of the problem.
After intense focus and calculation, Roman discovered that the software's algorithm was overwhelmed by the vast amount of data it was receiving, causing the device to malfunction. He utilized his acquired skill to redesign the algorithm, ensuring it could efficiently process the data and provide accurate results.
Collaborating with MedTech's engineers, Roman implemented the new design and rigorously tested it. Within days, he had successfully fixed the software glitch, and the portable defibrillator was functioning flawlessly. The device could now quickly analyze heart rhythms and deliver life-saving shocks, giving patients a second chance at life.
MedTech's engineers were impressed by Roman's unconventional approach and efficiency, and the company's CEO was overjoyed. "Mr Vitali, your unorthodox methods have saved us from a potential disaster. Your solution has ensured the reliability of our product, saving countless lives."
Roman's determination and acquired skill had turned a critical situation into a triumph, earning him the respect and gratitude of MedTech's team and the medical community at large.
...
Roman left after the CEO walked him out, and he couldn't help but think that the CEO seemed like a good man with morals. However, Roman didn't let that affect his business dealings. He walked away happily, feeling satisfied with the outcome, and jumped into the taxi leaving MedTech behind.
As the taxi drove away, Roman leaned back in his seat, feeling content. He had gotten what he wanted, and he wasn't bothered by the fact that MedTech had paid him a significant amount of money. In his mind, it was just business, and he had come out on top.
The taxi driver asked, "Where to, sir?" Roman gave him an address, and the taxi merged into the busy streets, leaving MedTech and its CEO behind. Roman was already thinking about his next move.
Ding!
Roman's eyes lit up as he saw the notification on his phone. He had been expecting the payment, but it was still a thrill to see the actual transfer confirmation. He smiled to himself, feeling a sense of satisfaction and validation. The payment was a testament to his skills and expertise, and he knew he had earned every penny of it.
He put his phone away and settled back into the taxi seat, feeling more relaxed and at ease. The payment was a significant amount, and it would help him take his business to the next level. Roman was already thinking about his next move, his mind racing with ideas and possibilities.
The taxi driver, noticing Roman's smile, asked, "Good news, sir?" Roman simply nodded, still lost in thought, as the taxi continued on its journey.
Roman walked into his home, feeling a sense of accomplishment and relief after finalizing the deal with MedTech. He had secured a significant payment, and now it was time to put it to good use. He decided to allocate $400,000 to open a manufacturing factory, a venture he had been contemplating for a while.
With a clear goal in mind, Roman turned to his trusty computer and started searching for a suitable facility. He scrolled through various listings, comparing prices and amenities. After a few minutes of searching, he found a promising option - a facility with the right square footage and amenities for $70,000 a year. He jotted down the contact information and gave the number a call.
The person on the other end, presumably the owner or property manager, answered promptly. Roman discussed his requirements and they agreed to meet next week to finalize the details. It was a Thursday, so Roman had a few days to take care of other tasks before the meeting.
Next, Roman turned his attention to equipping the factory. He spent hours researching and comparing prices for the necessary machinery and equipment. After careful consideration, he found the right ones, but the total cost came out to be $150,000. He winced at the expense but knew it was a necessary investment.
Undeterred, Roman continued his search for services to set up the utilities and infrastructure. He found a reliable provider, but the quote came in at $30,000. Roman couldn't help but feel a pang of concern as he tallied up the expenses in his head.
If he counted the facility rental, equipment, and utility setup, he had already spent $250,000. That left him with only $150,000 from the original $400,000 budget. Roman couldn't help but lament the fact that money seemed to always be in motion. He remembered a phrase he had once heard - "A man who moves money gains money, and a man who holds on to money never gains any."
Roman realized that investing and utilizing his funds wisely was crucial to generating more wealth. He made a mental note to keep this in mind as he moved forward with his manufacturing venture. With a renewed sense of determination, Roman continued planning and preparing for his next steps, eager to turn his vision into a reality.
