Chapter 7: New development

January 1989.

My condition has been progressively improving. It takes a total of 100 points to level up completely, and since I scored twenty points on the application, it will cost a hundred. I estimate that professional skills range from 30.00 to 50.00 points, but my drawing specialty from my previous life is a practice that has allowed me to continue with the drawing schemes, along with the comic bookstore, reaching the established 20,000 points.

I must take a drawing break for publication and feedback on what I publish. Hellboy, Samurai Jack, and Pinky and the Brain are the center of my attention. According to the color costs, it's better to sell a 200-page graphic novel. Each comic book should have an average number of numerals.

The color books will only be sold in the summer, and both Pinky and the Brain and Samurai Jack have four volumes. Hellboy has a total of 12 volumes, with each volume containing four or five parts. Its story is more captivating, but it's years of continuous work.

So far, I have a total of 16 chapters of the ongoing series. My drawing quality allows me to complete one chapter every eight hours, which means I will have three chapters done in a week. For the Hellboy series, I have already completed the specified number of volumes for this year, which is one, divided into five parts. Its publication will start before the summer, in May, and end in early August. Each part of the volume is the first series of Hellboy, "Seed of Destruction."

There are a total of 12 volumes, with each volume having at least five or more chapters. Hence, the focus is on the quality of the colored drawings and the captivating story that uniquely subverts the typical hero.

-So, you're sure that the lease price for this warehouse is $4,000 per month? - Billy said.

-Son, keep in mind that the reason we leased this warehouse building is its proximity to the residential area. And yes, with the sale of the third volume of the series, we earned $47,000. Given the recent banking problems, it's foolish to get into debt if you don't have sufficient means. But assuming a debt can help with the tax burden. Furthermore, I found a good property in Almaden Valley for the price of $250,000. I checked the zoning plan, and construction on a scale is permitted. The journey is an hour away from our home and allows for expansion. On the other hand, we could invest in the property and pay rent until it's deemed necessary, - his father said.

-How much is the starting price for the business? - Billy asked.

-About $80,000, and the payment is in three installments, - Thomas said.

-Well, that's not bad, - Billy said.

-Alright, I'll start the sales negotiations. The cash flow is $40,000. We'll borrow an additional $40,000 from the bank and the rest from our own pockets, - Thomas said.

-On another note, I checked the stock of Cisco Systems, Inc. and re
