preparations.

The farewell of Gwyneth, who decided to skip the wedding of Billy after spending a week in Seattle, the blonde woman decided to get ahead to test the waters. Nevertheless, the main ideas from both parties were that Gwyneth would graciously take advantage of the situation in the next five days to secure the audition and formalize the relationship with David Fincher, her agent. Similarly, she had a general idea of gaining the director's trust by using some of her knowledge. She let her beard grow, got her hair cut as best as possible, and adjusted her style to that of a rookie detective. Currently, she doesn't have a script reading, but she knows the movie and will have a formal meeting in two days with a detective and some lengthy conversations with her bodyguards who have given her advice. The first issue is Billy's physical condition, which he has started to train slowly. Although not very present, they still follow him from afar. In Kansas, they received reports from Billy about his condition to respect his privacy. But in Seattle, his support remains as thorough as ever.

-We've arrived at the destination in twenty minutes, sir, - responded Leo Roy Hatcocok, who maintains a friendly relationship with many aviation personnel. When traveling in first class as part of the security service, only three companies allow this level of security. Therefore, only special companies can often be contentious about these matters. However, for these reasons, most wealthy individuals buy a jet or rent a private plane for such situations.

-Leo, take a seat; for now, there's nothing more to do, - said Billy, fully awake.

His progress in this area stands out above the others; he has secured many TV programs and has also gathered plenty of ideas to continue making money.

Purchase series and continue organizing animation projects so that they don't stop; that's Billy's rule. Many of these programs aim to rely less on series from other companies. The Woody Woodpecker license lasts for 4 years, along with other programs. Currently, the channel repeats the same series 5 to 6 times in a schedule, which is fine, but it should reduce these repetitions to 2 to 3 series to avoid senseless repetition.

Now, if an extra channel can be had, one that caters to a much more mature and teenage audience, it can capture all kinds of viewers. That's why he needs to start thinking about multiple channels and whether he can use these channels to improve his future TV programs.

For instance, a channel with more adult programming, along with another channel catering to a more feminine audience, or a junior channel for babies; one of the most promising is children's programming.

-Over here, - Leo Roy pointed to Billy's van, driven by Erwin, who arrived much earlier. With some surprise, Billy got in, expecting to be taken to the company, as he now had an itinerary set by Anne, and Billy was used to having his security work done for him.

The first thing he had to sort out was the problems assigned to the RPG platform game development. Though Raimon didn't directly mention it, Joseph Blinky hinted at a bluff, as the entire game started to become just a compilation of Dungeons & Dragons entities. He could see that the initiative had to be postponed for at least four years due to copyright issues, as Lux Animation owned the gaming store that was earning enough to sustain itself after the subsequent merger of two video game companies, Tactical Studies Roleplay and Workshop Games. The clientele evolved as much as the video games.

The factory brought back memories for Billy. For now, the third floor was used for RPGs, but they could easily accommodate at least six study groups, and beyond, the second floor only housed a small part; this could expand to another video game company that could help expand their games, either to make sports-related games or an additional animation studio dedicated to films or a Pixar branch.

-Good afternoon, Mr. President, - said Sonia, a video game designer who was responsible for designing the structures of the video games and was currently working on all the structures of Pokémon. Based on Billy's improvements, she had spent the last few months drawing by computer and by hand all the Pokémon worlds, along with all the backgrounds of Jeanne d'Arc.

-Sonia, it's great to see you. I've heard very good things about you, especially your work with Pokémon, - said Billy.

Leo followed closely, taking a seat in a nearby lounge, while the conversation was observed by some people, notably Joseph Blinkey, a Stanford University graduate who met Billy through Raimon. He studied systems engineering and specialized in software development, but he also has half a degree in business administration, which he left unfinished.

Joseph approached, along with Gregory, Kenneth, and Teresa; they were all currently the masterminds of the company. Billy's arrival marked the day when the second team would start their activities for the new video game and expand their game creation process.

-Ah, yes, you can come to the meeting; there are many things I want to define with you, - mentioned Billy regarding the future of the company.

Anne listened to Billy's arrival with a raised eyebrow. She heard that he had expanded RPG Platforms to two working groups and conducted a new development test to hire an animation studio in Japan or purchase a 3D animation studio. His idea had many revolutionary factors that tilted the balance in favor, as studies showed that Japanese animators' salaries were half of those in the United States, and globally, these salaries were also half, even for veteran animators.

-Margot, please send a call for Billy to come immediately. Lately, we've been involved in many activities for which we still haven't received responses. Billy should have some extra ideas about what we need to do or not, - murmured Anne.

-Yes, Director, I'll send a message to Joseph to attend, - said Margot.

Anne devoted herself to organizing the numerous folders for the purchase of Japanese companies through an intermediary company that charged 10% and provided a guarantee. For now, the problem was a language barrier.

Firstly, was Toei, not just an animation company but with a value of $550 million, which was significant for a Japanese TV company. However, according to reports, this company was of high importance to the Japanese government, which guarded it closely.

Toei has several contracts at the moment. The company had multiple licenses with Lux Animation, and the relationship was partially good. They had numerous agreements with multiple companies.

The second animation studio, Studio Ghibli, was not for sale. Next was an animation company called Gainax, dedicated to producing science fiction works. Its main relevance was the price, not exceeding $900,000, which equated to 90,000,000 yen. The purchase included numerous animation contracts, an animation library, and a building. It seemed cheap, but the studio had a small library, with two movies, two anime series, and five OVAs.

Added to the monthly salary values, each worker received an average of 300,000 yen per month, with higher ranks receiving values from 400,000 to 600,000 yen. That is, $3,000 monthly, an annual salary of $30,000. Animators earned a total of at least $70,000 monthly. It's not a bad company by any means.

The next company was Sunrise, valued at $10–20 million, which was too expensive. Followed by Madhouse, with costs ranging from $2 to $10 million, TMS Entertainment with costs from $35 million to $40 million, ICG, with prices ranging from $12 million to $15 million.

It was clear, Gainax was the chosen one, along with perhaps Madhouse. It all depended on the desired expenditure, although the recommendation was only Gainax, and investing in its expansion and studio development.
