7 New development

January 1989.

My condition has been progressively improving. It takes a total of 100 points to level up completely, and since I scored twenty points on the application, it will cost a hundred. I estimate that professional skills range from 30.00 to 50.00 points, but my drawing specialty from my previous life is a practice that has allowed me to continue with the drawing schemes, along with the comic bookstore, reaching the established 20,000 points.

I must take a drawing break for publication and feedback on what I publish. Hellboy, Samurai Jack, and Pinky and the Brain are the center of my attention. According to the color costs, it's better to sell a 200-page graphic novel. Each comic book should have an average number of numerals.

The color books will only be sold in the summer, and both Pinky and the Brain and Samurai Jack have four volumes. Hellboy has a total of 12 volumes, with each volume containing four or five parts. Its story is more captivating, but it's years of continuous work.

So far, I have a total of 16 chapters of the ongoing series. My drawing quality allows me to complete one chapter every eight hours, which means I will have three chapters done in a week. For the Hellboy series, I have already completed the specified number of volumes for this year, which is one, divided into five parts. Its publication will start before the summer, in May, and end in early August. Each part of the volume is the first series of Hellboy, "Seed of Destruction."

There are a total of 12 volumes, with each volume having at least five or more chapters. Hence, the focus is on the quality of the colored drawings and the captivating story that uniquely subverts the typical hero.

-So, you're sure that the lease price for this warehouse is $4,000 per month? - Billy said.

-Son, keep in mind that the reason we leased this warehouse building is its proximity to the residential area. And yes, with the sale of the third volume of the series, we earned $47,000. Given the recent banking problems, it's foolish to get into debt if you don't have sufficient means. But assuming a debt can help with the tax burden. Furthermore, I found a good property in Almaden Valley for the price of $250,000. I checked the zoning plan, and construction on a scale is permitted. The journey is an hour away from our home and allows for expansion. On the other hand, we could invest in the property and pay rent until it's deemed necessary, - his father said.

-How much is the starting price for the business? - Billy asked.

-About $80,000, and the payment is in three installments, - Thomas said.

-Well, that's not bad, - Billy said.

-Alright, I'll start the sales negotiations. The cash flow is $40,000. We'll borrow an additional $40,000 from the bank and the rest from our own pockets, - Thomas said.

-On another note, I checked the stock of Cisco Systems, Inc. and researched it. It hasn't gone public yet. I'm curious where you heard about this company, - he said.

-From a friend at school. His dad works in the stock market and boasts about his knowledge. It just seemed interesting, and we have money. It's okay to invest in a few other things, -Billy said.

-That's true, but I'm surprised you have such foresight, - Thomas replied.

In his era, Billy knew several internet companies that collapsed during the dot-com bubble burst, one of them being Cisco Systems, Inc. At the time, it was named among the stocks of the new millennium, alongside WorldCom, AOL, General Electric, and Yahoo. These are the two main cases he knows that will fall after the internet bubble burst, not to mention Enron and its stock fraud.

He watched a movie called "The Truth About the Enron Case," which shed light on some interesting stories about stocks, and conducted further research on the stock market crash.

WorldCom, previously known as Long Distance Discount Services (LDDS), was a company that also focused on value-added services. Currently, it is growing.

-I'll keep an eye on Cisco. But if you want my advice, invest in Coca-Cola or Johnson & Johnson. They are companies worth admiring for their consistent returns before investing in comics. Some acquaintances in the office approached me to invest in them, - said Thomas.

-Well, when we have the money, let's go to the brokerage office at PaineWebber, - Billy told Thomas.

-I'm not surprised you know about the PaineWebber brokerage office, but Merrill Lynch is better. E.F. Hutton provides better advice for individual investments, and portfolio management isn't as expensive. The commission fees are different," his father replied. "Although, you should think about skateboards or toys. How about a home theater in the unused room we have? I know you still love movies. I heard that the 'Elmo Super 8 Sound 350SL' is like having a cinema at home. We can buy a special screen. The total investment is $1,000. Each Super 8 film costs $30. It's not bad to buy the Star Wars series, - said Thomas.

-That sounds great. But I'd prefer Raiders of the Lost Ark. I couldn't see it during its premiere, - said Billy excitedly.

-Alright, Raiders of the Lost Ark it is. -

They both continued to inspect the factory, paying attention to minor details. After all, they would need it for the coming months.

"The 'Elmo Super 8 Sound 350SL' is a specialized video machine, a projector for watching movies. It's the home theater of 2020. Super 8 films were a popular small-format film format. These films were recorded on 8mm film reels, allowing enthusiasts to make homemade movies with smaller, more affordable equipment. The film was loaded into a Super 8 camera, and a 'Super 8 mm' projector was used to play it on a screen.

It's a well-known tool used in some small independent cinemas to save costs or in upscale homes. Spending $30 to watch a movie is no joke; the price of a ticket is $3.50.

"The Truth About the Enron Case" is a real movie that explains the entire stock fraud committed by Enron in the late '90s and early 2000s. According to my research, at that time, it was possible to manipulate accounting with future asset accounts. The "dot-com" crisis occurred because companies assimilated the profits of the next five years as accounts, and everything seemed to add up until it became impossible to sustain those margins.

Another movie that uses this issue as comedy is "Dick and Jane: Fun with Dick and Jane."
