idea.  As  you  have  reviewed  on  the  last  page,  we’ll  need  a  total  of  one

            hundred million dollars with a long term investment of 16 billion dollars
            over 4 years. (VP Toyota) This all looks nice but what guarantee do we
            have  that  this  merger  will  not  come  back  to  haunt  us?  (VP  Yokosuka

            Corp)  Yes,  I  must  agree  with  Yamamoto.  I  have  another  question.  Has
            your  Mr.  Kelly  made  this  deal  or  the  proposal  known  to  the  Indians?

            (Yoshi) Hold it. Before you ask me any more questions, let me finish. This
            project  has  never  been  done  before,  so  we’ll  have  to  be  creative  and

            business smart. Gentlemen, I assure you of this: Japan will become the
            world power if you allow me the chance to close this deal.


            (Mr. Goza)  Yoshi, we all know of Mr. Kelly’s great vision and ability to
            make money. We have all read this proposal. Are you so confident in this

            idea that you’re willing to risk your position here and your life, Mr. Kim?
            (VP  Toyota)  It  looks  like  red  country  to  me.  (VP  Toshiba)  Yes,  what

            good will red country do for us? (Yoshi) Yes, to the first question, Mr.
            Goza. I will risk everything. And let’s call the proposal from now on Red
            Land’s.


              At that moment Mike calls and the secretary pushes him through to

                                                 the board room.


            (Yoshi’s sec.) Mr. Kim, I’m very sorry to interrupt, but Mr. Kelly is on the
            line. (Yoshi) Put the call through on video cam. (Mike) Greetings Mr. Kim

            and hi Dozo gentlemen. (Yoshi) Mr. Kelly, I wanted to tell the group about
            the idea in more detail. (Mike) No Yoshi. I’ve given you the tools to bring
            this  idea  to  life.  Gentlemen,  go  for  it  or  not.  Yoshi,  call  me  with  your

            decision in the next hour. (Yoshi) I’ll call you back Mr. Kelly. (Mike) Mr.
            Goza, I respect your vision and please forgive me for being so brash, sir.

            Business is business gentlemen. Mike hangs up at that moment.


               Two weeks later with Mike and Yoshi talking in Mike’s office about
                                       the way to talk to the Indians.


            (Yoshi)  Mike,  I  know  you  have  a  plan,  so  shoot.  (Mike)  Ok,  this  is  the
            deal.  In  the  morning,  we  have  a  meeting  with  the  tribal  council  of  the

            Navajo, Apache and Mohave tribes. It is important – I can’t stress this
