In an attempt to compensate this loss, Chris develops certain strategies that could increase his productivity per unit time, like only reaching out to potential high-value customers, defying protocol and not drinking any beverage during work so that he does not have to waste any time in the washroom. Hence, this limits his working hours and subsequently the potential for contacting his clients. Without any money, Chris has to leave work early everyday so that he could spend the night with his son in the homeless shelter. With no other option on hand, Chris agrees to do this internship as a stockbroker. Yet, he succeeds in the interview only to realize that unfortunately it is an unpaid internship.
As a result, Chris appears for the interview in dirty clothes with splashes of paint on them. As he is indebted with a huge amount of money, he is thrown out of his house and has to spend a night in prison, right before his internship interview. Thus, Chris faces severe financial crisis that destroys his marital life to such an extent that his wife leaves him and he is left penniless with a son to take care of.
For this reason, Chris finds it really difficult to sell his scanners as no one is interested in buying them. Although these scanners produce an image of a slightly greater resolution than the traditional X-rays, they are really expensive and hence not worth the cost.
