Chapter 373: The Book Merchant

The product acceptance of Palm was the last piece of official business that Dean Price handled before Christmas, and his vacation time throughout the year was far shorter than that of others on the Forbes list.

Take Bill Gates, for example, who spent at least two or three months on vacation each year.

As soon as December arrived, he left Seattle to start his Christmas journey.

Compared to them, Dean definitely qualified as a workaholic billionaire.

It wasn't that he loved work, but there were some things he had to handle personally.

Palm was his first foray into the consumer electronics industry, and of course, it needed his necessary attention.

After making several calls himself and sorting out the distribution channels, Dean felt at ease to leave.

With Hills Department Stores and Walmart as backups, Palm basically could be distributed throughout North America's major cities.
