V3 Chapter 2 - Business plans and flight 1

March 8, 2005.

This was the date of the day I got my memories of the future.

It was also the day when an old bald sorceress started paying attention to me tho I did not know about it at the time.

Back to the matter at hand, three days after my call with Grandmother I was having dinner with my parents arguing with my dad as usual when he asked

"So why did you ask for a leave from school with an application containing my signature?"(Dad)

"I am busy (?)"(Ryan)

"And how did you get my signature, I don't remember signing!"(Dad)

"Honey,  sigh~"(Mom)

"What?! What are you sighing?"(Dad)

"You sign in capital letters, Dad. it's too easy to copy."(Ryan)

"No, it isn't, there are special marks."(Dad)

"Yeah? Like the small horizontal lines on R and H?"(Ryan)

"I told you to change your signature even a 7-year-old child can copy it"(Mom)

"Like hell, other seven-year-olds are like him"(Dad)

"True."(Ryan)

"So what are you doing holed up in your room all day long?"(Dad)

"How did you know I was holed up in my room."(Ryan)

"Because I, your father, am a ninja!"(Dad)

"Really!?"(Ryan)

"Of course not."(Dad)

"How can you even believe that?"(Mom)

'Yes, why did I even fall for that?'

"I was just playing along."(Ryan)

'No way I am letting him have a laugh at me.'

"You didn't answer my question."(Dad)

"I was making plans to become the richest person in the world."(Ryan)

"I believe you, and your mother is a descendant of a Chinese immortal cultivator."(Dad)

"I know."(Ryan)

'Like I will fall for it again.'

"You didn't fall for it this time."(Dad)

'That's not entirely wrong.' thought Casey(Xishi) Angelo.

"By the way, your travel plan is confirmed."(Mom)

"Really, when am I leaving?"(Ryan)

"On the 19th, An Indian friend of mine is visiting his home and he will accompany you to Chennai International Airport, Your grandparents will pick you up there."(Dad)

"Sweet, thanks, dad."(Ryan)

"As a return, how about you build me a lab when you become rich?"(Dad)

"Only if you invest now."(Ryan)

"Ungrateful brat!"(Dad)

"Stingy father!"(Ryan)

"You won't receive a penny from me now!"(Dad)

"I will just have to ask Grandmother, and you will have to hand over everything you have."(Ryan)

"I won't succumb to this."(Dad)

"We shall see."(Ryan)

'It's a losing battle, honey. You won't win against mother.'

Casey smiled and thought as she looked at the arguing duo.

"How about you invest mother?"(Ryan)

"Okay, but I want a share."(Mom)

'With how smart my son is, he might actually succeed. And even if he fails he needs funds to actually try.'

"Sure."(Ryan)

"Brat, how about I do that too?"(Dad)

"No shares for you."(Ryan)

"Why!?"(Dad)

"Because I am not an ungrateful brat, I am The UNgrateful Brat."(Ryan)

"You, rebellious son."(Dad)

"You, Useless Father."(Ryan)

"Sigh~"(Mom)

'They just won't stop.'

Ryan POV 

That evening when I was looking through the information I found a company called 'Android Inc.' which was developing a smart user interface for digital cameras.

As I looked up about the company, I was sure this was the company Google would acquire sometime this year which will make the Android OS in the future, so I decided on my first business target.

I don't have the money, technical skills or resources for the development of the OS, But I never planned on buying the company, all I want is a share of the wealth, a part of earning.

So I started to devise a plan to gain and started drafting a business plan.

I spent the next few days I was in the US to gather as much information about the company as I could.

I even asked my first investor(mother) for help.

Dinner Table, 15 March

"Mom, I need your help?"(Ryan)

"What is it?"(Mom)

"I need as much information about this company as I can get." I said as I handed her the printouts about 'Android Inc.' I had.

"'Android Inc', What do you want to do with it?"(Mom)

"It is my first business target."(Ryan)

"What do you plan on doing?"(Mom)

"I can't tell you now."(Ryan)

"So, What do you want to know?"(Mom)

"Their market valuation, their investments and their financial status."(Ryan)

"Fine, I will give it to you before you leave."(Mom)

So the day of my departure arrived and Father introduced me to his friend Raghu and we boarded the plane together.

Raghu POV

As I waited for Rakesh and his family, I heard the announcement for the flight.

I hope they aren't late, just as I was thinking they might miss the flight they arrived and after a hurried introduction, I took his son and we boarded the flight.

After we settled down in our seats, I looked at Ryan who sat down in his seat and took out some papers to read.

As I started to get bored, I looked at what Ryan was reading and I was surprised to find it was financial information.

As I looked closely it was about some 'Android Inc.', as I read the information I inadvertently spoke

"Their prospects are good theoretically but they don't have the financial capacity for implementation of their plans."(Raghu)

"What did you say?"(Ryan)

"Sorry?"(Raghu)

"Can you repeat what you just said?"(Ryan)

"Their prospects are good theoretically but they don't have the financial capacity for implementation of their plans." I repeated and I couldn't help but ask.

"Is that something you should be reading?"(Raghu)

'I mean I heard Rakesh saying his son's a genius but aren't reading financial reports like that somewhat over the top.'

'Not to mention, how did he even get his hands on that?'

"Yes. By the way, what do you do for a living, Mr. Raghu?"(Ryan)

"I am the Financial Manager of the lab your dad works at."(Raghu)

"I see. How did you know my dad?"(Ryan)

"We went to school and college together and now we even work in the same place, and since we lived only about a mile away we kind of grew up together."(Raghu)

"I see. What do you think about the prospects of 'Android Inc.'?"(Ryan)

  "They might be somewhat capable but they don't have the capacity to stand alone in the market, not to mention even if they succeed with their current project, they lack credibility and channels that will support their financial endeavours."(Raghu)

"What you said feels right, You must be paid handsomely with how capable you are?"(Ryan)

'What is this, his questions seem targeted(?)'

"It's quite good? Though there is not much room to display analysis abilities in there."(Raghu)

"Then how about you come to work for me?"(Ryan)
