Chapter 2 Project Preparation

"What? You said you were going to make TV?"

In the general manager's office of Pengda Toy Factory, there was a roar from the boss Meng Minghui, which made the employees passing by outside curious.

Why is the boss so excited?

Could it be that the little boss went in and told the boss that he was going to be a grandfather?

Not mentioning the gossip of the employees outside, Meng Lang wiped his face and said seriously: "Yes! In order to save the Pengda Toy Factory that is on the verge of bankruptcy, your son, the heir of the future family business, and the second generation of the Pengda Toy Factory, I have decided to make a TV series!"

"Get out of here! You know what you're talking about! I believe you when you say you make games, but it's an industry that has nothing to do with computing. You say you're a director to make a TV series?

The old man was extremely excited, patted the table and asked, "You want to save the factory......?" No tomorrow! I will come to the factory tomorrow to go to the assembly line with the master!"

Due to the lack of culture, Comrade Meng did not speak Mandarin very well, coupled with the violent temper of this tendon, Meng Lang felt that he wanted to die when communicating with him.

"You can't just read my script! I'm serious! I'm serious!"

Meng Lang waved his hand, pointed to the green Kitaro doll on Meng Minghui's desk and said, "Are you willing to give people this kind of toy all the time?"

"Dad! Times have changed! The financial crisis has intensified, and the global temperature has risen! This shows that there is no point in continuing to do OEM, and we will be eliminated sooner or later! If we want to do it, we will make our own IP and launch our own products!"

"That's a cartoon, and you don't make cartoons...... Comrade Meng seemed to be a little touched, and his tone softened a lot: "What you said makes sense, I have long had the idea of making my own IP." It's just that TV dramas have little to do with toys, so if you want to do it, how about making cartoons?"

Cartoon......

Meng Lang felt that Comrade Meng still had a lot of ideas, and he had the idea of investing in the animation industry and making his own IP early on.

It's a pity that the animation industry needs to invest too much money, and Comrade Meng can't afford it at all.

"The investment in animation is a bit large, and there may not even be a splash if millions are thrown in. ”

Meng Lang counted the information he found on the Internet with his right hand, and then replied to Lao Meng: "Ten million!"

"What's 10 million?" Meng Minghui asked with wide eyes.

"Make a promising cartoon with an initial investment of at least 10 million!" Meng Lang explained.

Comrade Meng quit, and his mouth twitched: "Are you really stupid for me? I make toys anyway, and I have dealt with them in animation, so I don't know how much it costs to make a cartoon?"

"Boy, your father and I have saved tens of millions of dollars from scratch, how can you fool you with that vision?"

Meng Lang was speechless: "You started from scratch, didn't my grandfather set up this factory?"

"Ahem......" Comrade Meng was very embarrassed.

Meng Lang still didn't let him go, rolled his eyes and said, "As for your vision...... When my grandfather was there, the valuation of Pengda Toy Factory was over 100 million yuan, and it was close to going public. In your hands, most of it has shrunk and it is on the verge of bankruptcy......"

"Enough!"

Meng Minghui said with a straight face: "I'm also for your own good! Your kid was raised by your grandfather as a rice worm since he was a child, and I deliberately made the factory like this, just to let you understand that it is impossible to gnaw the old one, and only by studying hard to revive the prestige of Pengda Toy Factory in the future can you avoid going to the street to ask for food!"

"You actually just want me to take over, get rid of it as soon as possible, right?" Meng Lang was speechless.

Comrade Lao Meng often boasts of being a "business elite," but he knows six of the seven tricks of running a business. If it weren't for Meng Lang's grandfather who only had one daughter, it would be impossible to hand over the business to Meng Minghui, a stupid son-in-law.

Now it seems that Meng Lang's grandfather is worthy of being a man who created a toy empire from scratch, and his vision is really accurate!

Pengda Toy Factory, with assets of more than 100 million yuan, is a well-known star enterprise in Jiangchuan, and it is expected to be listed. But with the death of the old man, after Meng Minghui took over, he was tossed into the current situation in less than ten years.

Although Meng Minghui is not a qualified business leader, he is a qualified father.

Although he is not very optimistic about the "yo-yo" strategy proposed by his son, he is at least willing to let him try.

So, when Meng Lang was dry-mouthed, Meng Minghui finally agreed to invest in "Fire Boy King"!

Not much money, a million!

Comrade Meng's original words were: "The efficiency of the factory is not good, and I haven't saved much for you for so many years." But I can still afford to lose millions, anyway, you promised me, if you fail, you have to obediently enter the factory to take over. ”

If you don't make a good film, do you have to go home and inherit the family business?

It's scary.

......

With a million investment, Meng Lang can finally let go of his hands and feet.

First of all, he injected the money into the account of the newly registered "Jiangchuan Pengda Film and Television Culture Company", and then began the project filing!

The process of project approval is very simple, the world of the Internet is developing rapidly, and all kinds of business transactions can be completed through the network.

The same is true for the approval of TV drama projects, even if the film and television license of Pengda Film and Television is very convenient. Meng Lang contracted the business to a third-party intermediary company, and the other party said that he could get the certificate and pass the approval in three days at the earliest.

After the project was established, Meng Lang went to the world's most popular copyright office by the way to include "yo-yo" in the scope of copyright protection. Meng Lang has applied for a total of yo-yo appearance patents, utility models and invention patents.

Since there is no such thing as a yo-yo in this world, don't blame him Meng Lang for being shameless.

After the patent application was approved, the intermediary company called, and Meng Lang needed various film and television special license licenses and "Fire Boy King" for approval.

Of course, after this set of processes was completed, before the episode of "Fire Boy King" was filmed, Meng Lang spent nearly 200,000 yuan.

Mainly through the intermediary acquisition of a shell enterprise with various licenses in the film and television industry, the intermediary fee is not so exaggerated.

"The money can't help but be spent!" Meng Lang sighed, and by the way, he took a photo of the main entrance of Pengda Film and Television, which had just been established, and sent it to Comrade Meng.

Lao Meng replied with a string of ellipses on WeChat, and then asked, "How much?"

Knowing his son Mo Ruo's father, Lao Meng's understanding of Meng Lang is not insignificant.

It's all a family, and there's nothing to be embarrassed about if there's a lack of money, Meng Lang concisely described the places that need to be spent in the past two days, and finally emphasized: "800,000 will definitely not be able to shoot! Let's make up another million!"

Is that how rounding is made?

You're using me like an ATM, aren't you?

Lao Meng gritted his teeth and said, "Where can I go to find you a million?

"Isn't there a house on the other side of the Garden Bridge? Anyway, no one lives in it, so it's sold!"

"That's the wedding room reserved for you!The wedding room! Where will you live with your daughter-in-law when you sell it? You can't still live with us when you get married, right?" Old Meng's roar came from the speaker of his mobile phone, almost startling Meng Lang.
