  November 22.

  The movements ioy industry and the ic book purchases have reinforced the se behind the creation of the ore, "Toys and ics." Mr. Murphy has redoubled his efforts, waking up every day at 4:00 in the m. He takes one of the first buses departing in the early m hours and greets the bus driver, as they have bee familiar with each other's schedules.

  He prepares the ats, ahe cash register, takes iory notes, sorts out missing and lost toys, is maes, and calibrates anything that seems damaged. He has his breakfast while the arrival of his two employees.

  Anne has sent over a worker from the factory to help share the workload, as their work is highly valued during this season at the toy store.

  -It's a pleasure, Mr. Murphy. Here are the orders you pced, - said a delivery person, carrying a pallet of boxes taining various types of dies.

  -Thank you, young man. e over ahis old man ahese boxes, - Murphy said, calling one of the store employees.

  ers began to arrive around noon in rge numbers. Despite the store's size, it was bustling, but thanks to the anized work at the cash register set up early on, they mao avoid any problems.

  -Could it be that their children would also like these new dolls, especially with the models from the pany that worked with Lux i the new series 'Yu Yu Hakusho/Ghost Report',- Mr. Murphy thought.

  Acc to the iories, Billy had pced orders for nearly 110,000 units of each toy. It was a bold move for a small toy store. Iingly, the strategy seemed to work as the stathered buyers who found that their preferred collectibles were unavaible in other shops. With some social es of Anne's, word spread that the toy store had items that were sold out in many other pces.

  November 29th

  Thanksgiving

  Today a small meeting was being held at Lux ics. Sales up until November 29th are remarkable. In a moment of ption, Billy decided te with a cold-cuts pany to send turkeys to all of his employees. The turkeys were delivered yesterday and this m; he wants his employees to be happy.

  -You've learned a thing or two, Billy. But it wouldn't hurt to have a music group for ime, - Raimon said, pleased to have a young boss who listens to his pleas.

  -Well, for now, we're a young pany. We still don't have all the resources, but we'll do what we , - Billy replied.

  -Stop corrupting the boy's mind, Raimon. o see you, Billy! - Anne chimed in.

  -Anne, - Raimon said as he quickly fled to talk to Rayan, the pany's tei.

  -How do you mao scare him off so easily? - Billy asked.

  -It's a woman's secret. I just finished going over the ats, and it's been a success. The toy store is in high demand, Lux ics products have sold well, but the kids are cm for the Yu Yu Hakusho/Ghost Files toys. They're our favorites, - Anne said.

  -Do you think we'll get good credits for the ercial lises we arranged with Warner for the toy store? - Billy inquired.

  -It's to be expected, although paend to deliver invoices te. As soon as the season is over, I'll request our payment, - Anne replied.

  -That's fantastic, - Billy said, leaving the meeting room.

  Heading to his studio, he has to keep drawing. He 't let these free days go to waste. The reduced deliveries of Sm Dunk and Yu Yu Hakusho have caused some distent. From three monthly releases, they've now been reduced to two, with the addition of Neon Genesis Evangelion, which took some time, and the uping release of Rurouni Kenshin for the spring deliveries. Only suffit effort provide Billy the space to keep releasing so many works simultaneously.

  In another part of California.

  In the geographical location of Los Angeles, California, at Warner er Products, a more reliable statistic has caught their attention. The sales geed by the Cartoowork lineup are surprisingly signifit.

  -Are you sure? - the director of er Products asked.

  -More than sure. The data reveals a preference for the Batman and Yu Yu Hakusho/Ghost Files series,- the financial advisor said.

  -Well, let's prepare a report for the months leading up to the end of the year. Everything should reach the ma, - the man cluded.

  December 14.

  Toy sales tio soar, but this time it's not the toys causing a sensation of disbelief among executives, journalists, and the masses. The holiday season is in full swing. The release of "Home Alone" on November 16th is an unequivocal success. The new movie "Edward Scissorhands" has made a positive impa ema fans. Tim Burton, a growiion, has formed a pleasaionship with Warner, reaping the rewards. The uping release of "The Godfather Part III" on December 25th is undoubtedly a delight for all viewers aed fans of the series.

  However, it's a sce fiovie that has shaken everyone iertai world. "Terminator" is dominating the global box office, with over a month on the big s. The 247 million in the North Ameri sector is a wake-up call for many panies, followed by an iional box office of 299 million. The pockets of Carco Films and Tristan Stars are surely among the entries on their lists of anticipated successes that the panies hope to achieve.

  -Hahaha, Linda, I told you this movie would triumph above the others, - James Cameron said.

  -Well, James, I'm gd to be the star of such a huge success. Arnold must be pulling his hair out. After all, you offered him not just a good sary, but an opportunity for success, - Linda Hamilton said, showing her dedication to James Cameron.

  -e on, Linda, join me in Hawaii. We'll have fantastic times, - Cameron suggested.

  -I've told you before! I won't tarnish my reputation. If you want an affair, you o get divorced, - Linda Hamilton replied.

  -I'll sider it after we go to Hawaii, - Cameron said as he leaned in to kiss Linda Hamilton.

  December 23.

  Betty still remembers everythiop executives mentioo her: - Go and hire another successful series before Sabas us to it. If the boy asks about merdise profits, give him some excuse about the end of the period and unfamiliarity with business procedures. -She knows this is a dominant behavior of panies. Do they want to buy Lux ics? She 't deny that the boy's drawings are fantastic. Perhaps, they're just pressuring.

  -Tell the owhat Betty from Warner Media is here to iate some tracts, - Betty said.

  She was in a bad mood. It's December 23rd, just a day before Christmas. Her children only e on special occasions, and for most of the year, she sees them on rare occasions.

  -Mrs. , Billy, and Anne are waiting for you in the iation room, - the gentleman said.

  -Ah, that's good. My trip didn't waste my time, - Betty remarked. - Well, please follow me this way, - the Lux ics employee guided her.

  -Without a doubt, the pany has improved greatly. Everything looks especially renewed. Everance is not what it was a year ago, - Betty ented.

  -Thank you very much. The ma has ied in a business development pn. Downstairs, there's the idustry, the cafeteria, and some warehouses. The sed floor has corporate offices, a drawing studio, and a game room. The third and fourth floors are still empty, but renovations are underway for appropriate use. We've even installed earthquake-resistant equipment for added safety, - the employee expined, clearly proud of w there.

  -I see, - Betty nodded.

  Arriving at the gss-walled iation room, even the room has been tastefully aifully arranged.

  -Billy, what a pleasure to see you. You've grown so much, such a handsome young man. Miss Anne, - Betty greeted.

  -Betty, you've caught the pany by surprise. A day ter, you'd find everything closed. We give our employees the holidays of December 24-25 and 31-January 1 to spend time with their families, - Anne expined.

  -Well, I'm gd I came a day early, then! - Betty excimed. - I tried to call, but the trip was scheduled this m. -

  -No problem. It must be something important, - Billy said.

  -It is. The pany is eager to start colborating. We want you to have free rein to design a new inal series, - Betty said.

  -Of course, I'm delighted to work with you and Hanna-Barbera, - Billy responded.

  -It won't be with Hanna-Barbera; we're creating Cartoowork Studios year, scheduled for July 1991. If we could sign a rights agreement for the series you mentioned earlier, it could be beneficial for us, - Betty expined.

  -proach that in June and see, - Billy replied.

  Betty knows that the studios are sensitive. Billy sought out Saban Haim to discuss a new series, and Warner jumped at the annou. They want to protect their golden goose before someone else starts reaping its bes.

  -The Pinky and the Brain series, - Billy said. - That's the one you want to start iating. -

  -Yes! It's that one. We believe it's a Warner product, - Betty firmed.

  -Well, we could work on it. Produ would begi year in July, and it would premiere by the end of 1991 or the beginning of 1992, - Billy proposed.

  -That's the idea from the board, - Betty firmed.

  -Alright, let's do it, same terms as the previous tract,- Billy agreed.

  -Reversion in ten years, - Betty mentioned.

  -Yes, a reversion in ten years, along with a 7% marketihe price will be set by you, knowing that it's a purchase at half the acquisition cost, - Billy specified.

  -30,000 for a 10-year lising agreement for both ematid broadcast rights, starting from the moment the tract is signed,- Betty stated.

  -Of course, - Billy said, handing over a massive folder with storyboards for the first 40 episodes, plete with scripts, character expressions, samples, and even a basitro sequence.

  Betty left in her car, engaging in discussions with the executives on her phohe atmosphere between Lux id Warner had been tehe lising agreement was almost finalized with simir terms: 30,000 for a 10-year lise, with a reversion cuse.

  -Why did you offer su affordable price? - Anne asked.

  -This is our final series, and they should hold onto it. There might be some plications if I produce it indepely or with another pany. Warner will capitalize on the series and buy it all in 10 years, - Billy expined, getting back to drawing. Fortunately, he had a produearly ready, having been in the works for almost half a year.

  -Do we have them? - asked Bob Daily, the director of eai.

  -Yes, sir. The toy sales have been a resounding success, with 243 million ied Warner brand profits for the winter season, - said Randy.

  -Marvelous. Ating for expenses, what's the value of our total earnings? - inquired Bob Daily.

  -174 million, sir, distributed throughout the season. After taxes, various expenses, aions, it amounts to 128 million. That figure is then reduced to 45%, which is 57.6 million, the base price for calg the lising fee with Lux ics, - expined Randy.

  -So much? I thought Terry had limited it as much as possible, - remarked Bob Daily.

  -He did, sir. We subtracted taxes, intermediaries, bor costs, and eveed the same lising fee payment of 500,000, - Randy crified.

  Out of 243 million, the traegotiated by Warner left them with 5,760,000 plus an additional 350,000.
