Chapter 38: Director Tao came to the door

Meng Lang doesn't need to worry about the Yo-Yo World Championship, Daddy will arrange all this, he just needs to sit back and enjoy it.

The offices in Senhai Building were no longer able to meet the needs of the growing Pengda Film and Television, and almost all the adjacent floors were rented out, and he needed to find a new location for the company.

Finding a suitable office space in Jiangchuan is not easy, because the recent contraction of banking business has devastated commercial real estate projects, and the few office buildings in Jiangchuan are almost overcrowded, and there is no more empty space.

Got money but couldn't find a place to live?

It's ironic, but it's true.

There is no shortage of residential real estate, and commercial real estate, especially office buildings, is hard to find. This is the strange status quo of the real estate industry, and to be precise, it should be a situation unique to Egawa.

Driving the Mercedes-Benz of Comrade Meng, Meng Lang's footsteps spread to every corner of the major urban areas of Jiangchuan.

However, there are too few suitable places.

Either the usable area is too small and it is difficult to expand in the future, or the rent is so high that it explodes, and you have to rely on robbery to pay the rent......

In the end, in desperation, Meng Lang had to take out a gray-eating document submitted by the company's art director to the president's office, and seriously think about the pros and cons.

The group headquarters was prepared to be funded by Pengda Toys Company, which has the most abundant financial resources, and Pengda Packaging, Pengda Film and Television and other companies settled in it.

The idea is good, but it's not practical.

Pengda Toy Factory did make a lot of money from the yo-yo and magic fairy series, but it also spent a lot of money to expand the scale of the factory.

Pengda Toys doesn't count on it, the old man doesn't have much obsession with the headquarters, with his idea, just build a factory, what kind of building to build?

Then you're on your own.

Although Pengda Film and Television is a subsidiary of Pengda Group, the financial part is still quite autonomous, although Meng Minghui assigned the accountant and cashier, but did not give much restrictions.

In the film and television sector, there are about 150 million funds available on the books, and although the overseas toy licensing income is very high, the sub-billing period is based on the "quarter" unit, and it cannot be counted on for the time being.

Neon's joint venture project needs to invest money, TBS has agreed to cooperate with Pengda Film and Television, and the preparation of the neon branch is almost imminent.

It's easy to set up a branch, but you can't hang an empty shell to fool people TBS, right?

Although TBS has a lot of money and stupidity, it is impossible not to care about the current situation of Pengda's branches.

If they find out that the branch is a shell, the matter of bad cooperation will be blown up......

Neon Branch, all kinds of equipment procurement and film and television certificate processing, plus high salary expenses, there is no more than 10 million funds in the early stage.

Then there is the upcoming "Fire Boy King 2" project team, this project is extremely optimistic within the company, after all, it is a sequel development, and it is inevitable that the actor's salary will rise.

This piece also costs 10 million or 20 million.

Then came Meng Lang's next project......

Although it has not yet been decided, the establishment of "Bakugan Boy" is a foregone conclusion. The production of Bakugan Kid is not too expensive, but it also costs 10 million or 20 million, right?

At this point, there was not much money left on the books.

"Fifty million, what kind of building can be built?" Meng Lang asked Ma Teng and Wang Kui on the side with his chin in his hands.

Ma Teng is the most clever, and he has learned to answer questions under the influence of his ears and eyes.

"Unfinished building!"

Meng Lang: "......"

You won't have to go to work tomorrow!

Wang Kui is not as active as Ma Teng, he has been engaged in the film and television industry for many years, and he has a certain understanding of the headquarters of many film and television companies.

He pondered for a moment before he said, "If you don't think about subsequent expansion, it's actually the most suitable to buy a ready-made office building." You don't need to buy the whole building, it's enough to buy one or two floors for the time being. ”

Nonsense!

Don't look at the whole building, we can't afford it!

If you buy one or two floors alone......

Rent is not able to rent a suitable office building, if you buy a suitable target, one or two floors is almost enough for them.

"Then that's it, Director Ma, you inquire more, and report to me if there is a suitable place. The usable area is better to be larger, two floors are best to have one floor, and the premium is within 10% can let the other party contact me. ”

"Okay, Mr. Meng!"

Ma Teng nodded.

After talking about the headquarters, the topic inevitably talked about the neon branch.

"At the branch, we have already contacted a director through TBS, and the other party is willing to sign a contract with us. Wang Kui reported.

Meng Lang blinked, and asked: "What's the director's name? Do you have any masterpieces? Although we make children's special dramas, we can't ...... all stinky fish and shrimp."

"Shotaro Ishimori! used to be a cartoonist, but later had a very unpleasant quarrel with the producer because of the manga adaptation of a live-action TV drama, and raised funds to buy back the copyright and directed himself, and the audience feedback was great! A very talented director, it is not like a ...... who came to cheat the project funds," Wang Kui introduced with a few treasures.

Halfway through his speech, he suddenly found that Mr. Meng, who was facing him, fell into a petrified state, and couldn't help asking, "What's the matter, Mr. Meng? Do you know this director?"

How can you not know each other!

The name of the father of the mask, if you don't know it, then there will be a ghost.

But is this man really the father of the mask in his impression? Or is it just a coincidence with the same name and surname?

Meng Lang frowned and thought about it, thinking that this should just be a coincidence. There is no so-called "Kamen Rider" in this world, and it is impossible for Shotaro Ishimori to come back from the dead, and he still lived until 2015.

"How did you get in touch with him?"

Wang Kui shook his head: "It wasn't us who contacted us, it was TBS who introduced us." If we hadn't gotten a referral letter from TBS, we wouldn't have noticed this guy. ”

"Since he is a director that TBS is optimistic about...... Then sign it and give it a try. ”

Meng Lang pondered: "Can he shoot a magical girl well?

"It should ...... Wouldn't it?" Wang Kui hesitated.

After temporarily setting a new Japanese version of "Magical Girl" directed by Shotaro, the meeting was not over, and the front desk reported to Meng Lang that Director Tao of the Egawa Children's Channel came.

Director Tao?

What did he come to do?

With doubts, Meng Lang saw Director Tao with a sad face, like his wife ran away with someone.

"Director Tao is a rare guest, why did you remember that I am here today?" Meng Lang asked after pouring a glass of water for Director Tao and clearing his throat.

Director Tao put down the cup and asked worriedly, "Xiao Meng, what do you say our Jiangchuan children are doing to you?"

"That's naturally very good, if it wasn't for Director Tao who brought me up at the beginning, I wouldn't be where I am today. ”

Meng Lang asked in surprise: "Suddenly said this, Director Tao, have you encountered any trouble?"

This shouldn't be, Jiangchuan Children's Channel is backed by the mountain of Jiangchuan TV, and it is also a state-owned TV giant, even if there is any trouble, it can be easily handled, right?
