Chapitre 139: Experimenter and the Dummy
From direct targets and hidden agendas, plotting it out and gaining insight from it is the best way to go.
Like someone spectating a match of chess players, Alexander had pretty much enthralled himself in that scenario.
Miss Galina's efforts and schemes were alright overall and a lot could still be learned from there.
Of course, manipulating how the chess pieces would move is also something that could be done.
Alexander was quite looking forward to how far and how eventful his actions would become and lead up to.
It probably won't be that much of a supernatural intervention though as it is just subtle hinting, methodical pieces of advice, and secretly pointing where they should head towards.
It isn't even a new thing at this point though as Milla's chances have already been improved with his friendly image authorizations and old Sullivan's help.
Old Sullivan was also able to work his chances better as Alexander has paved a limited but good selection of Hollywood films for him whilst Creed Comics had become an industry behemoth from the spoiling starter company it had originally started out.
Just the newly debuted Creed Toys have increased the worth of everything and the healthy circulation between the companies should help make the old Creed be able to employ his business savvy.
-----
"Morning kids." Old Sullivan greeted as he noticed the two friends lounging in the living room. It was still unusual for even him to see his grandson watching television though.
As Milla and Miss Galina are already up for the day, it was without competition on who was last to wake up.
Of course, as old Sullivan is already of old age, nobody could blame him. Besides, he was still spry and motivated with all the happy things to look forward to in life.
Perhaps Alexander wanted him to be a dummy to rejuvenated his mind with all the business things that appeal to him greatly and ultimately extend his life than how it had been.
It was still a double edge sword and something to find out in the future though as Alexander just greeted back. "Morning grandpa."
"Morning grandpa Sullivan." Milla was much more enthusiastic and rushed to meet her grandfather figure in America.
The pleasantries with grandparent doting ensued from there it was just a matter of time before breakfast was readied.
----
Of course, that was done as it should be and Sullivan convened with his grandson for the important stuff. "Let's talk business, Alex."
His grandson was all ears as it was pretty much their conjoined passion at this point.
"I've pretty much stabilized Creed Toys by now and it just needs the proper cash flow to continue as it is." The old Creed pretty went straight to the point as his excitement got to him. "Production matters can also be done as long as your creative team and the production factory correspondents get to agree on design parameters."
"Are we running low on budget?" Alexander asked he really hadn't clued himself much with the profit circulation with the old man taking the helm.
Sullivan could only chuckle at that. "How can we be low on budget when every retailer pays upfront and punctually? It is pretty much a quick sale and sold situation with the partnership you've accrued with the comic direct market."
That was good to hear as such a simplistic retail transaction had always ensured Creed Comics to be able to continue with other costly printing needs while keeping the profits to be used in future endeavors.
If it was still applied to the toy industry, then production matters would not be delayed by budgets as well.
Alexander was pretty much at ease with that as everything wasn't a long and grueling exchange that film and theaters were used to.
"How about the new retailers? Won't they have some sort of differentiated contracts to allow our toys to be in their stalls?" Alexander knew that it was the direction everything was headed towards but the retail market is a new hazy field he hadn't got to tackle yet.
"It's pretty much the same situation as the comic book shops." Sullivan answered with ease and gave his simplified description of those new retail fellows. "As long as the market wants it, they'll be sure to keep ordering from us."
"Would the profit we've accrued still be enough for our new company plan? Wouldn't our toy unit production expansion set us back?"
If the company money wouldn't cut it, then Creed Animations start-up may need outsider capital and Alexander didn't want that. Any third-party investors at the start of everything would just make the founding process quite chaotic.
"Don't worry. Even with all the multi-level taxes that cut out our income without fail, the next company is already underway." Sullivan knew that this grandson's worries and anxieties telltales how important the new endeavor is to the boy.
As a company gifting grandpa, the old Creed wanted the best he could offer and the best that Alex can play his potential in. It was quite exciting to know how far of a height would the boy take it to.
"That's good to hear then but how far are we on making 'that' happen?" Alexander had pretty much doubled up his question quotas as his expectation for the new animation frontier is quite bold.
"Not that far and it should already be ready by next month or so." Sullivan felt that those should be viable by then and also added a tidbit. "Even your comic employee expansion should be finished along with that. The new goons that we are hiring are essentially the same after all."
Alexander was pretty much satisfied with that as the 50 comic bookers he had was in need of fresh recruits as the new year would be much Creed Comics heavier than last year.
If he were to busy himself with the new venture, then the comic book delegation needed to be up to par as well.
At least, they were still hiring versatile and dictate-able artists as usual and Alexander's experience in shaping them up to his speed should be quite an asset.
The Creed duo then discussed the credentials of everything further and was pretty much just sculpting up what they have long molded out in their previous meetings.
As fearsome of an achievement that Creed Comics and Toys has on the last year, the grandfather-grandson duo hoped to improve on what has been achieved and integrate the new and market debuting ones with ease.
Creed Pictures was underway while Creed Animations would play quite an integral role with toys and comic books.
By the end of their discussion, the four companies should be able to play their parts quite well when the proper accommodations are made.
If the plan would work out quite nicely as it was on their Creed calculations, then Creed Entertainment would take a level further than what it already is.
No matter how it would truly turn out in the end, it was still frighteningly fruitful how the enthused Creed duo had reached within the span of a day.
It was still the first of January after all and it would be quite fearful to see how their synchronicity would improve as 1985 commences.
Old Sullivan was in no case at the same level of a passive experimental dummy that the Jovovich duo would fall in and Alexander with his experimenter mentality would always hope to improve and leverage on that.
