[ The letter in the envelope is tiny-- As if someone had forced the Moogle to write it all on a tiny piece so as to save paper.]
It is my understanding the lot of you saw a vision of the future.
What was the economical situation like in the future you saw? What were the ongoing trends, what did people look forward to acquiring and what goods did they disregard in spite of current statistics? Also did anyone see what I was up to in that era?
If you want to charge me money for the information, don't bother replying to this letter!

First off, I'm sure you were dead by then. Take better care of yourself if you want to benefit from whatever investments you take.
Secondly, considering that we were trapped on a small piece of non-crystallized land, I think food supplies would be in high demand, but I was a too busy amassing an airship army to really notice things like that.
Actually, I wouldn't mind a steady supply of metals right now.

But if you were stick on a small piece of land... It might be a good idea to build a high tower on the last location to be crystallized and rent rooms for a reasonable price! Surely clients would come in mass without looking at their wallets.

Like a giant apartment building? Upward construction does sound like the housing of tomorrow, and that would most likely be the most common way of living then, apart from living on airship ls, of course. The latter would be my preferred method.

If that's your plan, I should at least have control over research and development. I've been piloting ships since I arrived and I'm an engineering genius, just so you know.
That's not to say I wouldn't mind a wealthy contributor if I did think of starting up my own company.

No, I think of you as a smart guy who knows where to invest. If you want to have my intellect bolster your finances, you'll have to keep to your promise to give me no less that half of your profits. Science is a costly business.
-Ales
P.S. So how is progress on your business going, anyway?
no subject
Who do you think I am, a multinational? This isn't how business work! My best scientist back in my homeworld accepted to work for a measly 0.01% of the profit. Why would you ever ask for more?

I can negotiate for 05% as your part of the profits in this, no more.
no subject
45%

10%

[ He's being overly generous here. ]
no subject
[Not generous enough.]
no subject
[ Nearly there, and that's already hurting his pride. ]

[It's less than half, but still a decent amount for him.]
no subject
Take or leave it.
[ That's as high as Scrooge is willing to go-- The trick always works. ]
no subject
I can't say no to such a generous offer. I'm sold!
I'm pleased and looking forward to doing business with you.
