The company continued to grow at astonishing rates. Video game sales became even more profitable than comic sales, as clear reports about profit margins showed. The challenge was the long publication time for video games. However, in its third consecutive year, profits soared to $31 million. This allowed for the opening of a new RPG platform video game franchise in San Jose and a slight expansion of production teams, without any hitches. The games sold endlessly, and more players joined in.
The profits for the producers were invaluable. There are signs of ending the contract and starting their own company. This is why the proposal for challenging and complex games is within reach of ID Software. Last year, with the release of the Pokemon and Quake games, a specific content revolution arrived for players.
In three years, multiple video game companies were established, and their growth continued to consume the American and Japanese markets. Not only did it revive the business community dedicated to video games, but also the gamer community, which has embraced the logos of Lux Animation and ID Software.
The mobile logo of an abandoned city in a rapid plan, signifying the words in blue and white, Lux Animation, is becoming the hallmark of the entertainment industry, spanning video games, movies, and soon, television series.
-Surprisingly, we don't know what to do. Three groups have exceeded our expectations in creating video games, -- said Alexa Riley, alongside Richard Carsen, who raised an eyebrow at the competition. -- What should we do? That's the question. -
-Choose the best, - said Richard, not understanding the complexities.
-I'd like to say there's a standout, but sticking to our innovation protocol, the couple Rachel and Teresa have a polished sound and astounding maps. The duo Tim and Dave meet the most crucial specifications for creating a good mobility game. However, the third group adapted our 3D system in a way we hadn't thought of. It's about three-dimensionality in 2D prototypes, so I have no idea, - explained Alexa.
-I'll call Thomas. He should know what to do. For now, accept all three groups, and my son will decide later, - said Richard.
-Alright, I'll send them home, and tomorrow we'll release the results, - said Alexa.
Leaving the boardroom, Richard massaged his head and decided to call Thomas. His grandson was working on the creation of the television channel, and it was clear he couldn't be disturbed. But Richard suspected something beyond just work.
-Thomas. -
-Dad? - said Thomas, a bit surprised.
-What did you expect, you rascal? Your father is at the video game company created by your son, and there's been an apparent tie among three teams that exceeded expectations. I won't deny it, the impressive work of these young people has been striking, - said Richard.
-Have Alexa call Anne, and send the resumes; we're creating a new video game company here in San Jose, so some of these candidates may be eligible to work at the company, - said Thomas.
-Alright, I hope my grandson will call me tonight, - said Richard.
-Billy has been busy at Pixar and a new special effects company. He's also in Los Angeles for a minor role; he'll be occupied for two weeks, - explained Thomas.
-Just a few minutes, Thomas. Since when do grandparents need to schedule, don't annoy this old man, - said Richard.
-I'll pass on the message, - said Thomas, hanging up the phone.
In the distance, the view of the sea, or rather the bay of San Jose, could be seen. As a partner in a major firm in San Jose, he could afford the luxuries displayed in the office: glorious wood finishes, upholstered armchairs, and polished floors. He looked somewhat weary from the work done since the early morning, not only overseeing the matters relevant to his firm but also those concerning Billy's companies.
Thomas had a lot on his plate. His recent days had been filled with work.
-Yamile, - Thomas addressed his secretary, a girl of Latin descent who reminded him of his wife in her youth, -- Tell Mr. Gorrery that I'm expecting him to discuss reconciliation. Also, inform my son that he's needed at the company, and call Anne, let her know some faxes are on the way, -- he instructed.
-Yes, Mr. Carson, - replied Yamile.
-Great. If the real estate clients arrive, speak to Campos; make sure he notes down any queries and concerns. And please, tell him not to overshare. Lastly, make a reservation at Il Fornaio for two, -requested Thomas.
-Okay, - replied Yamile.
¨*********************************************
-Anne, you have the meeting with the construction company tomorrow, - said Rachel.
-Yes, get ready for tomorrow. You'll go with me, - replied Anne.
They just completed the final stages of the hiring process for the human resources department, a newly established division. Anne was delighted to have Jolie Carty on board as an operator. Jolie was highly efficient, boasting 15 years in her field. Now, all that remained was to await candidates for a new administrator to oversee the digital channel. Rachel handled all the minor companies, and contacts, and Raimon handled the comics, shares, and suppliers.
Anne received the resumes along with a brief report on the competition.
-Raimon, - she whispered.
Raimon was stationed at his desk, holding a pencil and adjusting some orders with suppliers. The rascal was doing well; he secured a deal with Pepsi and landed a three-year distribution contract with a 30% discount, providing products for a 350-employee corporate group.
-Raimon, I'm pleased to see you working so diligently, -Anne said.
-Did you know we're losing $18,450 on idle products? - Raimon revealed.
-What? - Anne was surprised.
-Well, in our distribution company, we're leasing some trucks monthly, but their usage only accounts for nine to fifteen days. What do we do with the remaining time? We pay rent and repairs, but we're losing out on another fifteen very usable days. I believe if we start optimizing functions, we could manage the video game delivery across some states, - Raimon suggested.
Anne was taken aback.
-Discuss it at the next meeting; we could operate a lighter 20-day contract, - she replied.
-Perfect. From Sunrise Comics, I see inefficiencies, but the great hero will handle everything. This calls for a jar of gummies, - Raimon said.
Rachel, who was following Anne, just rolled her eyes.
-Well, here's another task, - Anne said, handing Raimon the documents about the new candidates.
-Leave it to me, - Raimon said from his seat, making a silly face after such precise administrative analysis.
Anne sighed. - Just give me the details by tomorrow morning. Rachel, come with me; we need to finalize a few details before filling the new position. -
-Sure, - Rachel straightened her back. She wanted to say something; her desk was filled with reports from various franchises: T-Box Burgers, Toys and Games, Hotel Paraíso, and Workshop Games.
¡hahahha! —Raimon chuckled upon seeing Rachel's annoyed expression.
Raimon grabbed the folders and headed to the game room to continue playing Pokémon. The quick takeaway was that, according to the analysis of Billy's next game, it needs to align with current games.
...…
fuhhh, good morning, I hope you have a great weekend.
