dust off.

December 12.

Raimon was thoroughly pleased with all his decisions, including Billy's guiding hand in the creation, which was just a hurdle many had to climb. The latest Cowboy Bebop series was a stratospheric magnificence. Billy had been drawing the comic for a year, and the result didn't disappoint. The artistic quality surpassed anything seen in years. What made this comic so interesting was that Billy's stories began to create darker atmospheres, stronger psychological pressures, and, on the other hand, an immeasurable amount of ideas approached from different perspectives.

-I have to say, the Baldur's Gate game is more ambitious than we'd imagined. Are you sure your boss will allow such a monumental game? It seems challenging to pull off, - Angus, an electronic engineer, and Raimon's right-hand man in Dungeons and Dragons matters responded. They were both sitting, paving new paths for the Baldur's Gate game, while Edward continued to expand the Elven War crusade, adding different types of elves like forest elves, dark elves, sea elves, and nomads.

-Yes, he'll allow it. He even mentioned that we'll be sponsored, from clothing, games, activities, convention plans, and everything for free. Our job is to promote the game and incredibly finish the story, - Raimon said. Their small task force was located in the factory. They had even created maps, and drafts, and perfected NPCs. With Joseph's help, Raimon dedicated himself to creating different characters, each with their own characteristics. The world of Dungeons & Dragons was immense.

-Sounds incredible, - Angus said, who despite working at a company from Monday to Friday, spent his Saturdays in an office, alongside Edward.

-It us, I'll soon ask Billy to offer you jobs at Pixar or some other company. We must stick together and propose a combat game with the animation team. They have their group and are a bunch of cheats. We need to outdo them, - Raimon said, with a competitive spark.

-I'll be right back. Just wait a moment, we'll work and then we'll go for pizza, - Raimon said, running with his short legs. This time, he was wearing a wizard's cape, along with an image of the glorious He-Man princess.

Hearing his timer, he sighed and went to where Anne was waiting, a meeting that only caused him more trouble. But he hurried across to Anne, as everyone wanted to go on vacation, and most of the executives would leave on Tuesday for vacation with Raimon, who wanted the beach and to unwind.

-You're late, - Anne said, completely exasperated, eager to go on vacation immediately.

-Well, although this meeting is just informational, and unfortunately, Jim is excluded due to the program's instability, the entertainment team will enjoy their vacation in June, along with the Pixar team, - Anne said to Jim Gianopulus, who nodded, supported by three hires he had made, each crucial for the operation. However, Jim saw that the company was functioning so well because of its focus on one subject. Billy handled Lux Comics and Lux Animation with his proposals, and the creation of a documentary channel was just the beginning.

Jim nodded with joy.

-I'll start by giving a summary of the day's agenda. Point 1: annual financial status, point 2: annual employee status under Director Jolie Cartes, point 3: Lux Animation treasury status, point 4: the purchase of new companies under Trading Corp, point 5: film productions, point 6: series production, point 7: ideas under the director of operations, point 8: new hires, point 9: new documentary channel... - Anne said, reading through various points, 1.1, 1.2, and so on until Point 9.

Raimon wanted to bang his head against the desk upon hearing the lengthy meeting. In the general financial status, many things came to light, like the excess comics sold in recent months, which had started to double. In November, they sold nearly 2.6 million copies, fitting into a comic sales marathon. The new Lux Animation series began to gain recognition, along with the increased sales of games. The unprecedented exposure of the Pokemon game capitalized on the increased sales, like the new employees of the company, the expansion of the RPG software team to three groups, much bolder than just two groups, and even the expansion of a sixth group of interns to create more animated series, all of which fell into the uniquely complex category of being out of step.

-The film productions for the next year are three, however, the partnership with Amblin Entertainment and the possible acquisition of DVD distribution rights, and on television, along with the possible purchase of the movie, suggest that Billy may make some additional purchases, like the previous bid for The Addams Family for 7 million dollars, recently, along with the August Meteor case for 1.6 million, - Jim Gianopulus said, finding it excessive to buy the film rights and two movies, already exploited.

-So, on my predictable list, I started researching children's movies that may or may not be part of our acquisitions. However, the desire for new successes, coupled with the expansion of our documentary series, may consume all our earnings. So far, we have six documentaries in our possession, but approaching production companies could escalate the expenses, - Jim Gianopulus said.

-From the treasury, we have a proposal from Billy to buy The Grinch and the Transformers franchise from Hasbro. The purchase of these toys exceeds 40 million in franchise value, which, although risky, is a great investment according to Billy, - Jim pointed out, aiming to adapt them into comics and later animation.

-They constantly want to negotiate with our toys, - Steve Parks mentioned with a smile. -We can mention a close relationship, as long as they sell us the franchise cheaper. We can even allow them to continue producing toys with a slight percentage. As I see it, Billy's ideas are about working for the future, no matter losing now or winning later. -

-You can take care of that, - Anne said, knowing that Billy would agree to a business deal for a game franchise. Billy's stance in many meetings was clear: franchises are the best way to make money, and the purchase can only improve that aspect.

-First, I would talk to Billy about which series he's willing to license, - Steve Parks said, nodding to Anne.

-Excellent! - Jim responded, noting in his thoughts the idea of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, another franchise that seemed destined to be a great purchase.

The meeting continued with the topic of animated series. The charm of the series continued to the point of endorsing different viewpoints. Many people, especially animators, sought to purchase their favorite animated strips, such as many series that could be given to them.

-Point seven, - Anne said, introducing Rachel, who was most involved in the acquisition of Korean and Japanese animation studios. The mere idea of purchasing was already struggling due to the government's protective stance, and permission had to be obtained from their perspective.

Rachel handed over a list of many things that still needed to be done, primarily emphasizing that Japanese animation companies had very low costs and it was possible to consider expanding these animation studios to make movies directly from Korea. The idea of ​​transmitting Treasure Planet or sequels to movies is just a fact, something that Disney has partly achieved in the production of its ongoing series and films.

-The main reason why oriental companies resent the entry is the possible economic imbalance that we can bring to Japan. It is not very common for American companies to settle in these spaces, except for China, which, on the other hand, has a considerable expansion system for foreign industries. However, these prefer to raise their own companies, even with economic assistance, as a way to exploit this market, which provides a better animation course and takes advantage of the drawing talent of these cultures, which is essential for the state of government. However, we believe in exchange options and developing a business future, such as influencing universities, creating animation schools, and sustainability commitments. Although the operation is cheap and the saved costs are economical, the investment can be significant, - Rachel said, followed by a motion from Jim Gianopulus and Anne, who were the most concerned about the purchase of Gaimax and KMO, with Lux Comics sales on the rise and Billy's upcoming salary, it is very likely that he will buy another oriental animation studio.
