March 1.
Raimon continued his day, having spoken to everyone on the third floor that he could et. Now, it was ti to visit Anne, who had the Evangelion, Shaman King, Samurai Jack, Slam Dunk, and Yu Yu Hakusho/Ghost Files comic locked away. Raimon had started following all the series that had begun to be published, and he could only obtain a copy with her permission, as they were ready for distribution.
Raimon walked to Anne's office, and she, as if she were a clock, worked with a furrowed brow, reviewing papers, just as she had been doing since he started working at Lux Comics and now Lux Animation.
-Anne, - Raimon said in a particularly pleading voice.
-I know why you're here, but I'm sorry to say that the delivery of 'Samurai X' has been delayed until Monday, and now we're only publishing chapter 154 of 'Slam Dunk,' - Anne said.
-But Anne, I've been waiting for ten days for the special chapter of 'Samurai X.' It would be a bit unfair if I'm not allowed to, you know, take a little peek at the manga, - Raimon argued, fighting a losing battle.
-I think I have so contracts here that need to be negotiated, from coffee distribution to cold beverages and so sweets. I hope you can give a report by tomorrow morning, - Anne said with her sadistic smile, which she used to assert her dominance over the animation company.
-But Anne, not even the 'Slam Dunk' comic? You don't have to be like this, - Raimon said, like a scolded child.
-Of course. This package has the contracts and forms, and here's the latest 'Slam Dunk' chapter. Good luck, - Anne said.
Raimon left Anne's office feeling sad and defeated. He would first review all of Billy's actions up to this point, which was quite an extensive list, from the $80 million investnt to the additional $20 million, not to ntion the excessive prices of the technology companies, which still made him nervous.
-At last, you deigned to work, - Rachel said, organizing and checking the accounts and the status of the toy and comic distribution companies.
-I think it's ti we had a third musketeer, don't you think, Rachel? The workload is only increasing, and we have a lot to take care of, - Raimon said.
-Well, I can handle all my work, - Rachel replied, sounding sowhat nervous, as they were hinting at her being inefficient.
-Bah. With the new television channel being set up, there will be a special committee to manage the channel, and we need another one of us to handle reviewing channel strategies, expanding the advertising departnt, sales departnt, and even the finance departnt. A budget manager and a reviewer, another administrator to assist wouldn't hurt, don't you think, Rachel? - Raimon suggested.
-Well, I hope everything remains the sa, - Rachel replied.
-Don't worry, Anne cares about you like her little sister, - Raimon said, reviewing the list of stocks.
The first stock is Coca-Cola Company, with a total of 430,670 shares. This is an exorbitant amount, and while Coca-Cola shares are among the more expensive ones, they are not the priciest. They have an average value of $6.00, $8.77, and currently $11.23 per share. Billy has ntioned not to buy more than $20 per share. He particularly likes this stock for its consistent returns year after year.
The second stock is WorldCom, which recently reached its historic high of $2. Billy holds a total of 6,799,500 shares. He doesn't expect much from this stock, but there are rumors of an upcoming rger, and a 100% increase is expected. However, Billy ntioned not to exceed 20% of the shares, which they may surpass with another purchase.
The third stock is Apple, the forr arch-rival of Billy. He has a total of 4,938,324 shares. This stock hasn't perford well, especially with the loss of vitality, and the company is struggling. However, Billy has emphasized continuing to buy until they reach 40% ownership and prioritized not selling the shares.
Major retailers like Walmart and Ho Depot each have 500,000 shares, although Ho Depot's shares are the cheaper of the two.
McDonald's restaurant has 94,000 shares, with each share having a fixed price of around $10.11, but they fluctuate between $12 and $9. Billy might play it short, but he hasn't been given enough freedom. He ntions that they are looking for long-term investnt and accumulation.
The next group consists of shares from technology companies with low activity, and their shares are sold for a dollar or even cents. These include Cisco Systems, AOL, Sun Microsystems, Qualcomm, Oracle, Microsoft, and Intel, with the total number of shares reaching 10,000,000 million.
Shares from companies like General Electric and Sony are priced at $20, but it's General Electric that Billy buys more of due to its higher prices. He has purchased 1,193,000 shares.
There are 1,235,000 shares in Berkshire Hathaway, 9,500,000 from the French mobile phone company Nokia, and 2,233,943 from Lotus Developnt Corporation.
Among all the stocks, there is a clause to start selling from June 1999. The few companies that are not allowed for sale are Apple, Coca-Cola, Walmart, and Ho Depot. Raimon wondered if Billy had a secret plan that he hadn't revealed. He always talks about buying series from Hanna-Barbera, such as Tom and Jerry, Scooby-Doo, The Flintstones, The Jetsons, Looney Tunes, and so other series like the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. From what Raimon has seen, Billy believes that these stocks will rise. He has also played a bit with these stocks but admits that he's not very good at waiting, so he has bought only the cheapest ones and those he is confident will rise.
Billy's profits from holding these stocks will be $23.8 million, and if he invests it all imdiately, he'll pay small fees that aren't significant when dealing with such excessive amounts of money.
He will continue to adjust the board of directors of Apple and aim for about 6 million shares. He plans to invest at least five million in the company Nvidia since their shares are trading at cents. He'll also continue with Microsoft, Intel, and Cisco. Billy is especially interested in Nvidia, a company he recently discovered at a business fair at Stanford University. Graphics processors and motherboards to improve computer performance are sothing he desires. He has stated that multiple purchases may be possible.
However, he needs to be cautious. These companies often issue shares as if they were rice at harvest ti. Microsoft, for instance, had a total of 60 million shares on the market in 1991, and now they have 220 million shares. Yet, Billy insists on continuing to buy shares.
-I'm exhausted, - Raimon said as he watched Rachel, sitting in a lotus position with her hair tied back in a ponytail. She looked stressed, and Raimon knew it.
-What's going on, Brainiac? - Raimon asked.
-Absolutely nothing, - Rachel replied.
Raimon approached and saw a first-quarter financial statent. Nothing serious, but he believed sothing was more surprising. - Well, it looks fine at first glance, what's not adding up? - Raimon asked, taking the sheet.
-The liabilities, - Rachel replied.
Raimon reviewed the liabilities and realized the errors. - Well, you mixed up the expenses. Co, let do it, -- he said, quickly fixing the accounting. -- I think I need to go watch Star Wars. See you later, Brainiac, -- Raimon said.
-He's the Brainiac, - Rachel muttered.
As Raimon made his way to watch Star Wars, he began to flip through the Slam Dunk book. He noticed so designs he hadn't seen before, and in the end, it was epic. This was one of the best volus of Slam Dunk, and he planned to give it to Todd McFarlane, who worked part-ti as an animator for Billy. He was sure Todd would love this volu.
-Damn you, Billy, - Raimon thought as he went back to reading volu 154.

[1] WorldCom: I couldn't find specific prices, but the shares were trading around $2 to $7 in 1994, more or less.
This is similar to many companies where it seems like the prices are particularly high. My research from various sources and Google Finance shows that shares are available at astonishingly low prices. It makes think about how ridiculous it would be to ti-travel and buy these stocks. With $100, you could purchase hundreds of shares. If you wait a while, in ten years, the price will skyrocket, and you'll earn more than a 500% or even 700% return on your investnt. There are even cases where this number only increases.
[2] Surprisingly, the shares of Microsoft have shown a dramatic increase since 2010, along with companies like Apple. However, in the 1990s, their shares were worth just cents, and their biggest increase was a dollar. These companies handle enormous amounts of shares.
[3] there are also tis when shares fall, but they are not falls, it is that the price of the shares rises so much that it is very difficult for people to buy shares, so they divide the shares, for example, if the share is worth 100 dollars, they divide the share and it is 50 dollars, but the person will have twice as many shares as he had if you had 1000 shares at 100 dollars, now you have 2000 shares at 50 dollars, it is good if the price continues to rise. but, if the stock goes down, it can be a problem, although it is not necessarily a bad thing.
