ChorsAlj Presents the Virtual Textbook!

Dear Mr. Buffet,

Many people have always wanted to revolutionize the learning experience. With our company, ChorsAlj Books, and product, The Virtual Textbook, we will be able to achieve this. We will make learning fun and interesting. Our company will purchase all the basic segments needed to make the product. We will set up offices, have factories and mines, and have a sufficient workforce. Through ChorsAlj Books, children will love to learn.

Our Product is the Virtual Textbook. It is thin and about the size of the screen of a computer. It has a special touch screen that won’t tire or harm your eyes after looking at it after a long time. It enables you to take notes (text, video, or audio notes) as you read and link them to parts of the textbook. The screen will show pages of the textbook that you can flip through and that will have links to videos. It will also have a built in dictionary that will allow you to look up words directly. It is lightweight and has many different textbooks in it so you only have to carry one thing. The textbooks come in a variety of languages. This product will prevent students from forgetting their textbooks and it will make learning interesting and fun.

We will bring together all of ChorsAlj’s competitors into one company that will change regular textbooks into virtual ones. We will buy the other companies and offer the owners a percentage of our profit. We will also keep the employees and pay them the same amount that they had been earning before. The companies that we will buy will be Houghton Mifflin, HarperCollins, Prentice-Hall, and Little Brown. We will have offices and stores spread across the U.S. as well as several in foreign countries. In the countries where our stores are not available, we will ship the product.

The main offices (including publishing offices) will be located in Cambridge, Massachusetts. We will need to buy the research institution that will find and develop the technology needed for the Virtual Textbook which will be located in Cambridge. We will also employ professors who are certified to write textbooks. There will be several professors who will write for every subject and they will be located at our offices. We will then need to buy mines to get the metal from that will be located in the U.S.. We will also buy metal factories that will be located in China because the expenses there are low. This factory will manufacture the metal needed for the device including the wires. A quartz mine is needed to be purchased in Arkansas as well as a quartz manufacturing factory that will also be located in Arkansas to make glass for the touch screen. There will also be another factory that will make all the inside parts of the device and a factory that will put all the pieces together to make the final product. These factories will be located in China too. We will then need to create and own a shipping company for ground transportation and several ships that will transport the products across the Atlantic Ocean.

There must be a plan as to where we will get our energy from. The offices in the U.S. will get their energy from municipal energy providers. The factories and mines in the U.S. will get their energy from wind turbines in a wind farm that we will own for this purpose. The factories in China will be located next to a dam that we will build to have energy.

We will get our raw materials from the mines that we will have purchased.

Many different kinds of laborers are needed in the company. In China, the payment will a little bit above minimum wage. In the factories, we will need machine operators, regular laborers, technicians, shipping and receiving workers, and managers. For the research institution we need designers, engineers, and technicians. For the offices we need secretaries, editors, publishers and the professors that will write the books, office-workers, a legal department, marketing department, accounting department, Human Resources, etc. For the mines we will need machinery operators, miners, one or two geologists, and a general manager. For the transportation we need drivers and ship crews. The Human Resources at our offices will determine the payment plans and healthcare plans for our personnel.

We must follow any regulations that are put forward by the government. We will offer to donate all old paper textbooks to public schools if they don’t have money to purchase the Virtual Textbook. The legal department in our offices will contact government agencies that pertains to our business and acquire all policies, rules and regulations about our company’s activities. Our company will put ourselves in line with these regulations.

In order to make a profit, we will publicize our product a lot so there will be a worldwide demand for this revolutionary product. Our product will meet the needs of the public so they will generate this demand for it. Once some schools start using it and see how good it is, many others will want it, and over time it will become mandatory and replace textbooks. It will also give you a good reputation, Mr. Buffet, since it is environmentally friendly and that we are going to send all the textbooks to public schools worldwide. Since it is lightweight and prevents back problems, a lot of people will want to buy it. Take an MP3 player for example. You don’t have to carry a hundred CDs with you. You would just have this small device. MP3 players were also sold very quickly, just as we have predicted for our Virtual textbook.

Now that I’m a millionaire, I will like to donate a generous amount of money to help the people in Haiti. After I have made a significant contribution to them, I would like to donate money to charity hospitals all over the world. I would also like to donate money to institutions that are looking for a cure for cancer and other diseases. I would then create a facility for endangered animals where they can be safe and be taken care of.
