Short spoken anecdote from a YouTube video in which the speaker recounts negotiating a company purchase. The buyer (speaker) describes the seller objecting to a $25 wire transfer fee; the speaker portrays refusing to accommodate such a small cost as evidence the seller has larger financial problems and calls the seller's "operating system" flawed. The tone is critical and dismissive.
I was doing a deal one time. I was buying a company for, like, real money, and the guy literally was fighting over a $25 wire fee that he wanted paid. And I was willing to kill the deal because it's absolutely silly. Hence, that's why he's selling to me. He has dollar problems. Hundred dollar problems. That's why he's in the situation he's in and he's fighting over. If you can't send a $25 wire for me, I can't take a wire. Can you do a bank check? No, homie, I'll send a wire. If you want the deal done, you eat it and move on. How the hell is this a problem? Why are we even talking about it? Operating system. It's wrong. It's flawed. It's flawed.
