Raimon delivered on his promise about the work. After the premiere, he was able to proudly show off his prized colle of autographs from the newly released movie Terminator to all his friends. He was very proud of it. Right beside that, there ider-Man ic, signed by Steve Ditko, the artist of Spider-Man.

  In his spare hours of sleep-deprived time, he reviewed all the financial analyses regarding the T-box burger stand from its establishment in February of that year, to its rapid growth in San Jose. He looked at the burger cart project, and on that occasion, the sales margin exceeded all the months since opening.

  The issues noted by Jaan about the cart were safety risks, the limited ste spaaterials, and the zero times, which are periods when the cart doesn't make any sales.

  , he examihe delivery system, and he found an emerging system with just two deliveries per day. As he looked into this, he sulted the uy's database to uand how food deliveries worked in differeablishments. He stumbled upon a student thesis about the market, which surveyed 2000 people and revealed that people often choose food delivery based on three factors: franchise popurity, delivery time, and ease of tact. The timing for deliveries tends to vary, but the period between 5:00 PM and 9:00 PM is when people typically order food.

  He reviewed all the locations in San Jose to determihe most advantageous ones. Only San Francisco seems to meet the market's needs, but there are very few avaible spaces, or the entry cost is so high that it's not worth it.

  Late into the night, he delved into all the new data about the toy store. With limited samples, he briefly skimmed through the Yellow Pages to find out how many toy stores were in the San Jose area. To his surprise, there were more than he had expected. The stroor seemed to be within shopping malls. He called a friend who worked at a video game store, almost at midnight and asked for some importaails about the delivery pad the sales of certain toys. He made it clear to his friend about the challenges of running a toy store, mentioning that theft is somewhat ong kids and some tend to vandalize things. He cluded that only the regur ers end up spending something iore.

  Amidst numbers and analyses, he dozed off at his desk.

  Raimon dashed out of his apartment when he realized it was 8:30 in the m. He was running te for wain; it's already his third time this month. As he took a quick shower, his printer was busy spitting out all the analyses he had worked on during the night. After a refreshing shower, he anized his papers, put on his hoodie, applied some lotion, and rushed out of his bachelor apartment to head to work.

  His parents are from Montana, but he came to California specifically to study, and by ded up w at Lux ics. He doesn't miss Montana too much, maybe just his mother's home-cooked meals or the Sunday barbecues while talking to his father about politid business.

  -Sorry, I'm te,- Raimon panted as he ehe office, looking sweaty and flustered.

  -e in, Mr. Raimon. Miss Anne arrived half an ho, - Mario, the security guard of the parking lot and the pany, informed him. He was apanied by two other security personnel hired from a security pany.

  -Damn, it's so unbearable, - Raimon muttered as he ehe office. He was already exhausted, and the day was just beginning.

  -Raimon, great to see you. You're ter than I expected, - Anne said.

  -I'm sorry for being te. I have some reports that I worked on st night. If you could read them, I'd appreciate it. I put in a lot of effort, - Raimon expined.

  I handed over two blue folders, one for the T-Box Burgers franchise and the other for Toys and ics. Each franchise had growth limits, and the analyses were extensive enough to leave his entrepreneurship project professor speechless.

  -I'll read these. However, I'll leave you with some work toahe ats with Dotmar pany. They're adian and supply us with 100% of the paper we use. Look into pg a rge order. We need a ton of paper, and prices decrease based on the quantity. We have a two-year loyalty agreement, so make use of it. I'll send you all the dots in a moment, - Anne instructed.

  -Sure, it's not like I have to deal with Billy's iment ats, - Raimon mumbled.

  -Well, I thought Linda Hamilton's autograph was enough to keep you motivated,- Anne responded.

  Raimon could only shrug his shoulders. Billy was a tattletale.

  -Alright, I'll focus on pg the order with suppliers. you sehe manual for ercial procurement from suppliers? - Raimon asked.

  -Of course, check the filing et. Ask Mr. Gorman to provide you with the formats, - Anne replied.

  -Great, I'll request the files. -

  In the depths of the filing et, shelves were brimming with ics, bck folders, and files doting the pany's history along with its various branches.

  Raimon walked in and checked the forms, clearly dispying signs of fatigue in his gestures. Fortunately, the files were a few months old, but the procurement from suppliers is handled acc tutio by a specialized anization in business creation. They handle all the necessary procedures to structure newly formed panies.

  Raimon began processing the supplier procedures, aiming to gain some points. He g the warehouses, which were filled with offset paper. They were pletely stocked with paper; he eveated to pce the order. However, Anne was the one in charge, and a ton of paper in cubic proportions would fill the warehouse to the ceiling. After calg the numbers, sidering the amount of ics sold, it seemed likely that they would indeed o make the order.

  -Ahe forms are ready. We got a 20% dist for pg regur orders. I found that signing an annual supply tract would be better, but the 20% dist should suffice. My proposal is a supply order of 300 kilograms per year, which is the minimum viable for the pany. Here are the dots for the potential trad the forms, - Raimon expined.

  -Perfect, I'll make the arras. Now, go and review those iments. Billy will be purchasing shares, bringing in some extra funds, and we'll free up the ats, - Anne said.

  -I'll review the ats as thhly as possible. If the stock purchases are made,- Raimon responded.

  He reviewed the relevant ats and was surprised at the wealth these guys held. They had a total of 37,700 shares in Copany, 271,067 shares ieology and unications pany World, 368,653 shares in Microsoft, 156,326 shares in Apple, 168,258 shares in Walmart, 24,000 shares in Mald's, and finally, 80,000 shares in Home Depot.

  The financial returns amouo 445,342 for March.

  -What a massive iment,- Raimon thought.

  Billy's reendations included increasing World to 400,000 shares. Apple, despite its year-over-year dee, had various business challehey aimed to keep buying shares until they reached 300,000. Additionally, Billy wanted shares in Home Depot and Walmart. He po acquire new shares from IBM, General Electrid Intel.

  Raimon would also add a bit more to Copany and . Having some extra credits in a pany doing business with them was sidered healthy. didn't have an overly high price. All these iments were risky, though. While some panies seemed questiohat's just how stocks work. You have to wait and see if the pany thrives, fluctuates, oes under.

  In the distance, Anne's shouts could be heard as she spoke with a state employee. Raimon approached Mr. Cloud to listen in behind the doors. Anne wasn't the type of person to dispy that kind of temper.

  -What happened? - Raimon asked through the door.

  -It seems we were fi T-box Burger. The fine form says it's for having dirty pans,- Mr. Cloud expined.

  -What does that mean? - Raimoioned.

  -It means we were fined quite harshly. Thomas will handle appealing the fine, but Anne is quite upset about it. They scheduled an iion for the factory in 15 days. This is the first one we've had in 2 years. Our taxes are paid, and we ply with all the rules. Thomas even interveo fulfill some additional quality requirements in other states, - Mr. Cloud responded.

  -So, Anne's fury is directed at...? - Raimon inquired.

  -At the state, - Cloud said. - Thomas will challehe fine. -

  -It seems Mr. Carson is dangerous, - Raimon joked.

  Mr. Cloud remained pletely serious, his demeanor unged. Raimon could only swallow his jest.

  -He was retly promoted to part a signifit city w firm. He's brought ued profits to the firm, so he has the bag of a w firm. That could be a good thing, - Cloud expined.

  -Lawyers tend to be ing, - Raimon remarked.

  -Where does that leave us then? - Raimon asked again.

  -Well, we'll have to tih our work, - Cloud replied.

  -I've already finished my tasks, - Raimon said. -I even helped with some paperwork. I'm going to talk to Anne about a few matters, but she's very furious. I think the maery is in order. I'm going to beat Billy's paintball record. -

  -I assume all the files are on my desk, - Mr. Cloud said.

  -Of course, on your desk. If you'll excuse me, I have a record to beat, - Raimon said.

  -I'll have new dots for you in two hours, - Mr. Cloud said.

  Raimon headed to the arcade area. There were four maes: one for Paintball, Mario Bros., Street Fighter, and Pa. It was enough to unwind during the pany's free moments, all pced at Billy's request, along with a Coca-Ce for the employees.
