Hey tomomi.
Cool stuff you have here. It looks like you have improved your English a lot. (this last post was much better than the ones before)
Just one thing:
"To deal with" is different from to make or to "sign a deal."
"To deal with" is as you said: take care of, resolve,solve,... Making sure something is alright.
"Sign a deal" is signing a contract. A deal can also be another word for contract or agreement. For example:
I like to catch and sell fish, you have a restaurant in which you make a lot of sashimi.
Let us make a deal for working together.

Good job, keep reading and writing:d
