Kapitel 94: purchase a piece of land
-Come on, Dad, don't be in such a mood. It was just a little farewell party with a good friend, - Billy said to Thomas Carson from his bedroom, his white shirt and trousers in disarray. It was elegant attire, but not so elegant anymore.
-Just get up already; needless to say, you're grounded, - Thomas Carson replied.
-Well, it's not like I have a lot of time for leisure activities. My life revolves around work, school, and extracurricular classes, - Billy retorted, weariness evident in his eyes.
-Just wake up; we have a meeting. This is your last warning, son. If you have a hangover, deal with it, - Thomas said before heading downstairs.
There was no hangover; behind the curtains, he saw the elegant morning sun.
Billy went down to the living room and saw his father sipping coffee.
-You're awake, - Thomas remarked.
-Yes, Father, - Billy replied, a bit nervous now that he was fully awake and had shaken off the morning drowsiness.
-Get a shower. We have a meeting to attend, the real estate property we've been negotiating for a while. Six hectares, 6,000 square meters of land purchased. Not that it matters, $300,000 for adult Billy Carson, who now does as he pleases, - Thomas said sharply as he read his newspaper.
-Give me a second, - Billy said, remembering the commitment.
-You have ten minutes. The meeting is scheduled for 10:00 AM, and we have half an hour to get there. The blue suit is on your desk; I've already prepared it for you. With that hoodie, I won't allow you to attend the meeting, - his father shouted from the living room.
Upon hearing the sound of the shower, Thomas left his newspaper on the table and dialed Mr. Ridden's number.
-Mr. Ridden, it's a pleasure. We'll see you in half an hour at the notary near the boulevard, - Thomas said.
-Yes, I'm leaving home now. Thank you for your understanding. You know how these young ones are; they don't think through the consequences of their actions. We, the older generation, have to clean up the mess they make, - Thomas added.
Thomas adjusted his suit, headed to the garage, started his SUV, and parked it at the front of the house. He greeted the neighbors who were heading out for their shopping.
Billy hurried out of the house and took a seat in his father's car.
-Don't take so long next time, - Billy said.
Thomas didn't respond, he just started the car. His father's calm demeanor made Billy somewhat uneasy.
Music played in the background; his father was a staunch fan of U2's album "The Joshua Tree."
…
-I wanna run, I want to hide
I wanna tear down the walls
That hold me inside
I wanna reach out
And touch the flame- canto Thomas
Su padre dio un giro a la izquierda. Deteniéndose en la luz roja.
-Where the streets have no name.
I wanna feel sunlight on my face
I see the dust-cloud
Disappear without a trace
I wanna take shelter
From the poison rain
Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name
Where the streets have no name[1]- song Thomas.
…
They arrived at the notary near the boulevard. Notaries serve various purposes, including authenticating legal documents and paying relevant taxes for the legalization of transactions.
-Look, Mr. Ridden must be inside, - Thomas said.
And he was right; Mr. Ridden was sitting in a corner, sipping coffee. His forty years in the real estate industry had helped him accumulate significant profits, money he would use as a college fund for his three grandchildren and his youngest son.
-Thomas, good to see you, - Mr. Ridden greeted.
-Mr. Ridden, I must apologize for my lateness today, - Billy Carson said.
-Don't worry, son, it was just a few minutes. I can wait a few minutes for a major sale worth thousands of dollars, - Mr. Ridden replied.
-Let's continue with this, - Thomas said.
-I have the papers; I took care of everything, - Thomas told Ridden.
-Elegant, Mr. Carson. The notarization is scheduled for next week, - Ridden said, displaying ease born from his 33 sales over his professional career.
-We'll see you next week; I'll notify you for the final signatures, - Ridden said.
After bidding farewell to the Carsons, the documents, explained by his father, were the cornerstone of real estate sales. Billy should at least know the identifiable elements of these negotiations, as his father had emphasized.
-Have you finished reading the documents? - his father asked.
-I have. I have some trouble with the terminology, but Anne's classes have helped, - Billy replied.
-Give them to me; we'll file them, - Thomas said.
The two hours of filing were at most a short wait. Sometimes negotiations took much longer than expected.
They drove along Route 55 and turned at the second exit of a secondary avenue, arriving at a location with a burger joint. They had lunch at T-Box Burger, the second outlet, which was larger and better located.
- The place is impressive, - Billy remarked.
-You should always visit your businesses, son. I do it for you, but I can't always manage it. This one is exceptionally famous. There are three major offices nearby, the museum is just a few steps away, and there's a park where families often come. There are some issues on certain days, but the customer traffic is good. There are certain inconveniences with the one near the university, - Thomas explained.
-I see, Father, - Billy said.
He didn't know the manager of this establishment.
-Who manages it? - he asked.
-Jack Comman but we have a supervisor,- Thomas replied.
-The burgers are still good; I'll order another one. I want to see if the one with pink sauce and bacon is as good as in the other public establishment, - Billy said.
There are several delicious burgers on the T-Box Burgers menu, including the special tomato jam burger, the second one being a bacon chopped burger with pink sauce, the third one roast beef burger, and the company's generic chicken, Mexican, and vegetarian burgers for more demanding palates.
-Of course, we need to go to the mall and then to the factory. Anne mentioned that you bought two machines for animation during my trip, - Thomas Carson said.
-I'm going to invest, but this time, I'll hire some interesting animators. I'm putting together a complete animation team; I want to dive headfirst into the television industry, Father. Warner disappointed my aspirations to participate as a company, so now we'll try it on our terms, - Billy said.
-I don't see it as easy to hire animators to create television series, - Thomas said.
-I understand, which is why I'll recruit from the university itself. We only need a team of three people. We'll invest slowly, for now, I just need two people with good skills, - Billy replied.
-Dad, this venture is well-funded. Pixar is a money-making machine. Don't you think everything is moving too quickly? - Thomas asked.
-A bit, son, but it will be on my terms. If I have to make the series myself, I will, - Billy said.
-Well, you certainly have the skills to create the series on your own. I hope everything goes well. Finish your meal, and we'll go to the mall, - Thomas said.
-To the mall? - Billy asked.
-Yes, to get you a cell phone. You can't go on being out of touch for much longer, - Thomas said.
The latest cell phone model was a Nokia from 1984, a rather heavy cell phone that only worked for making calls. The extravagant expense of $1,100 was excessive for the limited functionality of the phone.
[1] U2 is an alternative rock band. A good band.

Kapitel 95: Titled titles.
What would be the most suitable TV series for a television channel? The programming must have enough content for this channel to run 24 hours a day. Achieving this is possible with some milestone series that grab people's attention. At times, a great series can even have double programming in the morning and in the evenings, the kind that can create a widespread fan following wherever they are aired. "Dexter's Laboratory" is one of those great series any company would wish to have. Therefore, his project in his free time is the "Dexter" series. However, he understands that the company's focus should not be on series production, and it's much better to concentrate on deliverable films.
The work on a movie can be quite laborious and challenging due to the quality required frame by frame. In a way, if you work independently, making a movie can yield better returns on your time investment.
Among the selection of movies, "Hercules" may be the one with the best opportunity. Some design challenges may arise, but there's no doubt that everything can be solved with Pixar's Caps program.
The Carson family's van entered the luxury comics factory compound.
-Are you happy with your new phone, son? - Thomas asked.
Seeing his son playing with the phone, the programming was poor and meager, but it was surely the latest in technology at that time.
-It's an unnecessary expense, Father. - Billy said, holding a large phone with limited functionality.
-I hope you'll use it during those curious adventures I never thought you'd enjoy. - Thomas said, smiling. He found it good to scold his son for his misbehavior.
-Are you calling me a party pooper? - Billy said, playing along with his father's banter.
-You misinterpret my thoughts. I'd call it mature. - Thomas said, adjusting his suit and stepping out of the car alongside Billy. The factory was deserted, even more so than expected for a Sunday. Near the entrance, there was Raimon's old junker.
-Thank you, Father. - Billy said.
The chill on the first floor of the Lux Comics factory is almost natural. Billy has grown accustomed to the smell of paper and the sight of workers scurrying about, moving from one place to another. This time, the production was in a state of passivity, with only a few workers printing comics.
The series from Lux Comics ranges from issue 66 of Slam Dunk, issue 67 of Ghost Report/Yu Yu Hakusho, and issue 14 of Neon Genesis Evangelion. In the United States, the continuity of these franchises has given them a certain popularity, coupled with the unique charm of the artwork. It's important to highlight the application of innovative techniques that even now comic artists secretly praise.
-Billy, how's everything going? - Raimon asked, dressed in a Spider-Man hoodie and slippers. In his right hand, he held a bowl of gummies, chocolates, and other candies.
-I didn't think you worked on Sundays. - Billy said, raising an eyebrow at Raimon's curious appearance.
-I don't work on Sundays. I come because I have nothing better to do, and I make the most of the day here. - Raimon said.
-Like what? - Billy asked.
-Well, beating the high score on the arcade games. I've gained some skills that I've been practicing for the past two weekends, and of course, making money for the company. - Raimon said.
The company had a total of six video game machines, including the most popular one among the company's employees, Pac-Man. The game that even Anne dares to play sometimes when she's waiting for Billy, who often draws late into the night.
-I assume all this comes after checking the accounts. - Thomas said.
-Of course, Mr. Carson, I even handle the tasks that Miss Anne doesn't like to do. - Raimon said nervously.
The Carson bosses were quite strict. Raimon thought.
-It's good to hear that. You're the one in charge of the little investment fund we have in hand. - Thomas said.
-I wouldn't call it little, but yes, I handle that, Mr. Carson, and I review the accounts with Jack, Mr. Murphy, and Miss Anne as well. I also assist in the financial analysis of the franchises and negotiate with the banks. - Raimon said, proudly thumping his chest.
-You never cease to amaze me. - Thomas said.
-Thanks, boss. I think I'll head to the game room. Ahhh, do you guys want some gummies? - Raimon said.
-Thanks, Raimon, but we just had lunch. - Billy said.
-Excuse me. - Raimon said, fleeing in a hurry. Deep down, he felt they would give him more work.
-He's quite the character. But nobody in the company denies his talent. One of the top graduates from Stanford University, with an average above 9.0, and recommendation letters from his professors. It's just his eccentricity that gives everyone the creeps. - Thomas said.
-I like his eccentricity. - Billy said.
-Come, you have something to show me. Both Anne and me. - Thomas said.
-Of course, I'll show you, I've only been able to work on some general tasks, but I already have something. - Billy said.
-Your new animation series? - Thomas asked.
-Well, it's just a concept for a 2D film I want to make. Remember the Hercules comic? They're good, but I think a movie could be a game-changer for the company. - Billy said.
-I thought you were going to make a series. - Thomas said.
-I tried for a while, but a series is a long and tortuous process. A movie might be more suitable for me. But I do plan on a series, an interesting one, eventually. - Billy said.
-I haven't read the Hercules comic, son. - Thomas said.
-I've made some sketches so far. I've been working on the backgrounds on acetate to improve the image quality, using some tricks I learned from Hanna-Barbera. And, well, I'm still exploring Pixar's Caps system. They sold a rather interesting version to Disney, but with the new expenses, the program has made a qualitative leap in quality. John Lasseter teaches me a bit, and his students also share some insights. - Billy said.
The room was filled with several acetate sheets painted with tempera, some tracings on a light table.
-Look at this scene. - Billy said.
It was the introductory scene of Hercules, featuring Greek mythology from the time when the Titans ruled the world, imprisoned in the depths of Tartarus by the women from the jar. The shots were custom-made, and the 20-second reproduction design was quite satisfying.
-It's interesting to venture into the world of animation, as long as you don't neglect your other responsibilities. - Thomas said.
-Father, what matters is what we create now. Did you like it? - Billy asked.
-Of course, it's an impressive drawing. - Thomas said.
-Good, this is what I want to create. For now, we only have two floors in use at the company. We can use the third and fourth floors to create our animation studio. Initially, my idea is to work alone until later on when hiring a few artists allows us to produce a larger series. - Billy said.
-What do you think, Anne? - Billy asked.
-As long as the investment isn't too significant, creating a series isn't that complicated. Obtaining the programs from Pixar and buying the necessary equipment is a straightforward task. Now we need to consider many other issues like dubbing, music, direction, and editing rooms, which can be more costly. As long as production can be kept at a minimum viable level, it's doable. - Anne said.
-Let's start preparing the upper floors. The fourth floor is the smallest. A large production studio and a small one could eventually be created, but building one right now can't be determined by a quick calculation. - Thomas said.
-We'll inquire with Pixar. - Anne said.
-Yes, that might be the smartest move. - Thomas agreed.
-Since you've decided, here's another project I'm working on: Dexter's Laboratory. I'm adding a cartoonish preference to the aesthetics. - Billy said, showing a short clip of a young boy with orange hair in a white suit and a girl in something resembling a ballet outfit behind him.
Dexter's shorts are each 7 minutes long, making it easy to work on the series. But even if I were to create 30 episodes on my own, I can't pitch the series to Cartoon Network; they've left a lot to be desired. It's much easier to try with a movie. - Billy explained.
