"Yes, father I'm ready, I just need to finish setting up a few assignments for my team." Replied Alex's

"Hmm... How do you plan to catch up with all the school work you're doing to miss?" Asked Oliver even though both Oliver and Martha agreed to allow Alex to work on his game projects.

Even setting up his own company under their name that was only because Alex exam scores were at the top of his whole grade. After chatting for a bit Alex, Duke and Oliver finally headed into the house where Martha was busy preparing the table.

Ashley and Jennifer help set up the table finishing all the preparations everyone set at the dinner table together. After having dinner with his family and discussing the preparation for the trip to L.A with his family.

Alex what up stairs to take a shower after a long day. Alex took of all his clothes and entering the bathtub laying down in the in the warm bath water, closing his eyes.

Alex mind wondered thinking about how he would use the money that he would get from the Jurassic Park film right negotiation. Alex main goal in selling the rights to Jurassic Park was mainly to get his name out there.

And he also planed to use it as a bargaining chip for a certain Marvel character. That Universal Studios currently had the rights to that he desperately wanted to get in the future.

Universal Studios currently had the tv and movie distruption rights to The Incredible Hulk. Which is one of Marvel Studios most popular character.

After Steven Spielberg huge success with the Jurassic Park trilogy. Universal Studios would desperately try and convince Alex to give them the full rights to the franchise.

However, this is still a long-term goal Alex had on getting the distribution right back from Universal Studios in the future. Alex's didn't want to be in the same position as Marvel Studios was with the film distribution rights to the Hulk. Being in the hands of another companies.

Hence and why Alex had decided to start with the Jurassic Park series as his first debuted as an author. He his main goal in this was to try and get Steven Spielberg's attention however, Alex didn't anticipate it would be this easy to get Steven Spielberg's attention.

He had first planned to get the Book published first and get its name out there to get his attention. Even though Jurassic Park is also one of the biggest film franchise that had been launched in the future it still isn't as big as the Marvel Studios movie franchise.

Alex began thinking about these things due to the fact that he had began to receive a more clear view. Of some of the movies and series that would be made in the near future. Especially movies and series that would become cultural phenomenon and would have huge social impacts.

Alex currently needed something big to help make his future plans move faster and this required his parents help. Which was to set up their own company that they would fully run by his parents. While Alex would only just show them the direction they needed to run it.

Right now Alex was unsure of how to approach the subject to his parents. Who had already setup his own company under their name. Which was a big risk for them to do especially now that their were people who depend on the Game Studio as their livelihood.

Looking up at the ceiling Alex couldn't help but, sigh his current dilemma for the past couple of months he has been trying to live as an ordinary 13 year old boy. However, he has began to slowly release that this was no longer possible for him to do with his current mental state.

As he couldn't associate with kids his own age properly, at first he enjoyed the experience of attending high school for himself. Now those feelings have slowly dwindle away and was being replaced by boredom and frustration.

"Hmm... I've come this far there's no reason for me to do things halfway, I should just be upfront with mother and father about my future goals and aspirations." Said Alex.

Making a decision he stood up for the bathtub having made his decision to more bold with his future plans.

Without wasting any time Alex quickly dried himself and put on his pyjamas that he rarely wore to bed. Walking downstairs to the living room his hair still wet. Where found his whole family was watching the news on CNN.

Which currently was of the biggest news broadcasting channel stations in the United States. But later lost its reputation for being one of the most trusted and reliable sources of news by the American people.

Martha seeing her younger son walking into the living with a determined look in his she gently nudged her husband with her elbow. Oliver turned his attention away from the news report on the television and looked at his wife.

"Turn off the tv, I think Alex's wants to talk about something very important with us." Said Martha as she pointed toward Alex who just entered the living room with her chin.

Looking at Alex, Oliver could also see that his son had once again decided on something again. Sighing in his heart Oliver picked up the tv remote and switched off the tv. Catching their three other children off guard as they were really intrigued about what the female broadcaster was reporting on.

As they turn to look at their parents curiously wondering why their father turned off the tv without warning. But, upon looking at Alex who just entered the room with a determined look in his eyes they quickly understood the situation.

As they had already seen this scene before and where now a little interested to see how this would play out this time.

Alex seeing that he already had already gotten everyone's attention as entered the room. Surprised him a little but, didn't hesitate to say what he wanted to say. He approached his parents slowly with a smile. Coughing to clear his throat he immediately got straight to the point.

"Mother..Father I would like the two of you to set up and run your own company." Hearing Alex words everyone's eyes wided.

In surprise and shock all except Oliver who's expression remained the same but, his still was also surprised internally by Alex words right know.

Everyone in the room fell silent for a few seconds before Oliver finally spoke up. "Can you please explain why you want me and your mother to set up our own company?"

As they had already set up a company under their name for Alex which they still thought was unnecessary at this stage especially with Alex age.

"Because in the future I want to be the richest man in the world?" This reply slightly stunned them again but, not to the same degree.

As Alex first words and in fact they had already known about this goal off his. As ever since Alex was five years old he had once told them about this dream. Of his and they didn't think that it was impossibility if he seriously put his especially now.

This may be a little arrogant on their part but, wasn't far from the truth. As anyone of them could be said to have world class appreances. This was due to all of their experiences with the opposite sex and more resently the same sex.

Which none of them were into but, didn't judge anyone about as they didn't consider it their place to do so.

Oliver and Martha had also been contacted by several modeling agencies over the years as well. Another reason was that Alex had a great singing voice as well. This was something both he and Ashley had strongly inherited from their mother, as well as Jennifer to a lesser degree.

The three of them have also been practicing their singing abilities at their school and at home on occasions.

However, Ashley wasn't too interested in joining the entertainment industry as she was more into fashion design. While Jennifer was into architecture and interior decorating. Duke was mostly into I.T and business management.

"Is that it then. So what do you're mother and I have to do with that, that we would need us to set up our own company?" Asked Oliver as he wasn't very interested in getting into the entertainment industry.

"Well to achieve my goals I need a lot of capital and I necessarily can't do everything I want to acheive myself. I also want to help everyone around me to be as successful as me in the future?" Replied Alex.

As it was truly what he wanted for everyone in his family to succeed, all of them were also very hard working and capable.

It's only that they lack the resources and vision to see the future trend of things as certain individuals did. There were many people in the previous timeline who were smarter than people like Elon Musk or Bill Gates.

Most likely they either lacked the vision or the resources to accomplish them their goals. If Alex just gave his family members a vision of the future and the resources he was sure he wouldn't have to meddle too much.

Hearing their sons words Martha and Oliver couldn't help but, smile who wouldn't want such filial son. Chuckling Martha could help but reply teasingly. "So how do you plan on making this dream of yours a reality. Do you even have a structural plan you can share with all of us Alex?"

"Yes, I do." Said Alex before confidently walking way toward the basement. This surprised Martha who looked at Alex who walked away and towards the basement.

Turning to look at Oliver who simply shook his head at her expression. Ashley, Duke and Jennifer who were also seated together looked at the parents and back at each other.

Alex quickly came back with a white broad his mother occasionally used with a black maker. After quickly setting up the white broad Alex quickly wrote down one word in bold letters 'AMAZON with the iconic arrow that look like a smile.

"AMAZON... what does that mean Alex's? asked Jennifer.

"Nothing really it's just a nice sounding name anyway this is just for demonstration now." Answered Alex

"This is the business I was thinking we can start off with. By selling books online using the internet as the channel for selling books and CDs."

"You want us to sell books and CDs using the internet?" Asked Martha with a confused expression as people could already do this without using the internet.

"Let me finish my explanation of how this is going to work. What we're going to do is use the internet to allow people to be able to buy books online and have them directly delivered to them. While movies can be either bought or rented whiteout any late penalties fees."

Hearing Alex's words Martha, Duke and Oliver eyes light up with realization of what Alex was getting at.

Duke raised his hand as if he was in classroom. "Yes, elder brother you have a question I presume?" Asked Alex.

Getting the go ahead Duke unhesitatingly asked his questions. "How confident are you in the internet future that both companies you've come up with. Both rely on the internet as it's marketing channel."

Hearing Duke question everyone else we're also interested in this matter. Oliver on the other hand also didn't no way his son was so interested in the internet.

"This is the future of all companies around the world as they will rely on it one way or the other. Said Alex. He didn't want to go into to much detail about it as many people in this era still had many doubts about were the internet would lead to.

"Okey I think you're mother, brother and I can see the possibility of this company your talking about. But,.. it's a big risk to take for us. And not to mention the amount of capital needed to do this project of yours. However, you may continue as I can see there still more you want to say."

Said Oliver as he gave his thoughts on the matter but, unlike his words right know Oliver sense were telling him to go for it. And take the gamble this could be a chance for himself and his family.

Looking at his wife who over this years has also begun to develop her own poker face however, he could still see her true emotions.

Which meanly had due with fact they been together for nearly two decades now. They could both see each other's true emotions from the look in their eyes. He could clearly see that she was also very eager to take the gamble. To possibly change their family future.

"Alright, firstly this doesn't require a lot of capital. As basically we'll be acting as a middle man. But, once we have enough capital we can expanded from selling books online to other daily goods and even make some of our own good in the future."

" Wait this sounds like you want to create a only store." Said Duke abruptly as he finally connected the dots.

Oliver at that same time figured this out a online store. That would deliver the goods right to their customers doorstep. The three women who had mostly listening quickly also had expression of shock on their faces.

Everyone than had the same thought at the same time. ' Why didn't I think of this?' This was basically making things more convenient for people.

Alex had a big smile on his face as he could clearly see that his family had gotten a idea of what he was getting at.

Alex continued giving them a five year plan for the company. Which also included starting up two television channel for live action TV show and another for 2d animation.

Alex had basically combined Netflix and Amazon into one company from the very beginning.
