He let the vapor from the pen exit his lungs. It looked like cobalt coils drifting upward into the wind. He ran a billion-dollar business. He found himself faced with a decision to sell his company for more billions or to retain his ownership and continue to make tens of billions instead of hundreds of billions.

The choice became clearer than spring water. He held onto his company permanently. His twelve hundred employees would have to prepare to fight. He already blazed a path to becoming the CEO that would hold onto his company like a rare and precious metal.
