1980 Lincon Continental was crusing through the traffic. Alex was talking in his car phone to his lawyer and his investor Eric Freemont talking about a new business deal.
"Did the deal go through?" Alex asked while reading the newspaper.
"Yeah, from today onwards you own Smith & Wesson and the Piper Aircraft." Eric Freemont said proud of himself. Well, Eric had the qualifications to be proud after all. From the last 18 months he worked very hard on this deal and saved Alex $10 million by buying the two companies from Bangor Punta Corporation for $62 million.
Smith & Wesson was fire arms manufacture company which supplies guns mainly to law enforcement. Piper Aircraft is the manufacturer of general aviation aircraft.
After ening the call Alex continued his reading.
"Say it Alfred." Alex suddenly said without raising his head to his chaffeur/bodyguard Alfred.
Alfred was surprised "How do you know I want to ask something?"
"Your curiosity was filling the car that I can cut it with a knife."
Alfred smiled and asked, "Why do you need a fire arms and aircraft manufacture company? You are quite wealthy already and very popular so why?"
Alex raised his head and looked directly into his eyes and asked "Alfred, how do you define a powerful man?"
Alfred was caught off guard by that question but answered "A man with enough money that he can get away with anything."
"Money was not enough, you need connections. Smith & Wesson has government contacts, which I need for the future. The Piper aircraft was not going to be just a general aviation aircraft manufacture. It's going to manufacture military aircraft in the near future."
Alfred confused asked, "Why go to all this trouble ?"
"Its a stupid question Alfred. You know why?"
"For Power." Alfred conformed it." But why do you need the power."
"It's still a stupid question but I will answer it for you."
Alfred was was waiting for his answer.
"Because I'm a man." Alex simply said that.
Alfred didn't understand what hell just Alex said. "Come again, Alex."
"You heard it right Alfred. I desire power because I'm a man. Every man in his lifetime once in a while desires to possess enough power that he could get away with everything. But they laugh it off after realizing how ridiculous it is. I want the power to protect the people I want to protect. And also as the man's deepest desire for the power." Alex stopped there.
Alfred was digesting what Alex just said and realized what Alex said was right. Alfred quit the SEALs as he couldn't quite agree with the higher ups. At that time he too desired the power to do what he deemed right and just but he too just laughed it off.
"But do you think you can succeed?" Alfred questioned again.
"You know why most people laugh it off because they just believe that it's impossible. I just want to see how farther I can go."
If you spot this story on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.
"I too want to see how farther you can go."
Alex just shrugged and started reading newspaper again.
..............................................
Alex ran into Ron Miller, the president of Walt Disney Productions who was waiting for Alex. Alex just completed his dubbing for " Billy Elliot" in Walt Disney Studios.
"Ron, you know Phoenix Studios was producing two new shows for television. I want to ask are you interested in it?"
"What do you want me to do?" Ron questioned. Ron will now listen to anything Alex had to say now. After acquring the "Home Alone" copyright and co-operation with Alex, the pressure all around decreased for Ron.
"Disney had close relations with ABC network right?" seeing Ron's nod Alex continued, "See if they were interested. I will give you 15% share from the show profits.
It's not much but it was better than nothing. "Alex, the board of directors are interested in producing 'The Mighty Ducks' and ' Honey I shrunk the kids'."
"That's good news ."
"But they want you to play the role of Charlie Conway in it." Ron explained the issue.
"Ron, can you afford me ?" Alex asked in surprise. Though his salary rose to $6.5 million but that's the least possible amount."With my salary you can complete the film."
"Alex you are underestimating, yourself. Do you know how much they want to offer you?" Ron questined with a smile but continued, "$8 million + 15% profits and if you want you can still negotiate."
Alex was not surprised that much anyway. He had huge international market and there was minimum guarantee that Alex wrote the script himself.
"I can't Ron." Alex rejected right away.
Ron was surprised. "Why?"
"Ron, do you think it' going to be a hit?"
Ron nodded in confidence as he beieved in Alex. Alex even improved the script to cater to the critics as it held 15% score in RottenTomatoes( it has 65% positive audience rating).
"If it will be successful, you will definitely develop a sequel. But my calendar was full for the next few years."
Ron understood. "Then you recommend a appropriate candidate."
Alex searched his memory and found the right candidate for the film. "There was a young actor 'River Phoenix' in the CBS show 'Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, who is the most appropriate candidate for this role."
Ron nodded and decided to look for this River Phoenix.
Alex remembered the film done by 'River Phoenix' which Alex decided would be his next film "Stand by Me", adapted from the Stephen King's novella 'The Body'(1982).
NOTE: I picture Alex in my mind was the mix of Marlon Brando,James Dean and River Phoenix.
