The next morning, Lin Xiaotang came to the hotel with a few people, entered the room, and he introduced: "General manager, this is Shinnosuke Asanuma, the chairman of Zuiyou Image. ”

Shinnosuke Asumuma saw the appearance of the person in front of him clearly, it was indeed Huo Yaowen, who had often appeared on Japanese TV recently, and hurriedly bowed slightly: "Hello Mr. Huo, my name is Shinnosuke Asanuma, and I am the president of Zuiyou Image." When we meet for the first time, please give me a lot of advice. ”

Huo Yaowen smiled politely: "Mr. Asanuma is too polite, I should have gone to your club in person, but there are some things, so I have to trouble you to make a trip." ”

Shinnosuke Asonuma said: "Where, where, I have read the latest newspapers and news, Mr. Huo is very busy, we know." ”

"You may be seated. ”

With the help of the translator, the two exchanged a few polite words, and Huo Yaowen beckoned everyone to sit down together.

He said, "Mr. Asanuma, I know that Zuiyou was founded by you, and I am reluctant to sell it, but I have investigated that your company's current economic situation is not very good, and the new project production of the anime "Heidi" has to be temporarily suspended due to lack of funds. ”

Speaking of this, Lin Xiaotang next to him came over with a few cups of tea.

"Thank you, Mr. Lin. Shinnosuke Asuma politely stood up and said.

Lin Xiaotang smiled: "You're welcome." ”

Taking the teacup, Huo Yaowen took a sip and continued: "I have read the original book of this comic, and Ms. Johanna Spyri wrote it very well, so I don't think you want such an excellent work to appear in front of the world in the form of animation, right?"

Shinnosuke Asunuma didn't speak, just sighed slightly.

Although the Japanese animation market is booming now, there are so many large and small animation companies!

Well-known animation companies include Toei Animation, Worm Production Animation, MADHOUSE, Animation Studio, and so on......

At best, they are a small, middle-of-the-range company that can't afford to plan multiple cartoons at the same time, and only when one is made and sold can they have the money to make the next one.

This is also the norm for many small animation companies in Japan.

In this case, it is easy to face a shortage of funds once the cost of animation production is exceeded, and the animated series "Heidi" newly planned by Zuiyou Imaging is due to the fact that it exceeds the advance payment, which leads to a temporary shutdown and looking for a partner.

According to the original history, if there was no butterfly Huo Yaowen, Zuiyou Imaging would have found a partner and completed the production of this cartoon, but this led to a decrease in the shares of the company held by Shinnosuke Asanuma, and the following year, in 1975, the company changed hands and changed its name to Japan ANIMATION Co., Ltd.

This new company will still be a little well-known in the future, although not many people know it in China, but the "Cherry Maruko" created under its name must be a favorite cartoon for many people in their childhood.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Huo Yaowen estimated that the other party should have an intention in his heart, so he increased his chips and said: "Actually, for you to sell now, Mr. Asanuma, you don't suffer at all, and the price I gave is not low." If Mr. Asanuma wants to start a new business, this money will be enough for you to rehire people and create a new club, and I can afford the current cost of the Heidi project, so you can start a new project with a new one. ”

Huo Yaowen gave a lot of chips, not only to buy the other party's company, but also to bear the production cost of the animation project "Heidi", the price is a bit higher than the market price, but when I think of the talent under the other company, I am reluctant to let the child catch the wolf.

"The price Mr. Huo gave is very attractive, and I don't think I should have any reason to refuse. ”

Shinnosuke Asuna thought about it again, and although he was a little reluctant, he finally nodded and agreed.

"Then I wish us a happy cooperation?"

"Happy working together!"

......

Zuiyou image.

"Higashijima-kun, have you heard?"

"What's wrong?"

"President Asunuma sold our Zuiyou image!"

Didn't you say a few days ago that you would find outside funding to continue the production of Heidi?"

"I don't know, anyway, I also heard from the finance department. ”

"No, then we're going to be laid off!"

At this moment, the entire Zuiyou image up and down the staff, all of them are discussing the change of ownership of the company, and the change of president is actually of little significance to them, but if the company lays off employees, it will be worrying.

In an office, Odabe Yoichi said anxiously: "Takada-kun, why did President Asunuma sell our Zuiyou image so well?"

Takada shook his head: "I don't know, I only received a message from President Asanuma last night, he asked me to gather all the employees of the company and have a meeting at ten o'clock this morning." ”

"Miyazaki-kun, where are you?" Odabe turned to look at the other person.

Hayao Miyazaki also shook his head and said, "I was even later, when I came to the company in the morning, I only found out about it after listening to the discussion of the people below." ”

"Alas, I don't know if the new president gets along well. ”

Yoichi Odabe sighed.

"Knock Knock"

Suddenly, there was a knock on the office door.

Takada Xun quickly got up to open the door, and when he looked closely, it was Shinnosuke Asanuma, and hurriedly said, "President Asanuma!"

"Takada-kun, I'm not the president anymore. ”

Shinnosuke Asunuma smiled and said, "So I have to trouble you to gather all the employees of the company, and the conference room will be held in five minutes." ”

Although the other party is not the president anymore, the relationship between superiors and subordinates in Japan is very strict, and Gao Tianxun still hurriedly said: "Yes." ”

A few minutes later.

The conference room, which is not too large, is densely packed with more than 20 people.

Zuiyou is a small animation company.,All the staff, including the clean aunt.,There are only about 20 people in total.。

Shinnosuke Asanuma, who was sitting next to Huo Yaowen, glanced around, and after confirming that all the employees were here, he whispered, "Mr. Huo, everyone is here." ”

"Hmm" Huo Yaowen nodded, got up and said with a smile: "Good morning, everyone! Contemptible Huo Yaowen, I think you already know that President Asanuma has sold Zuiyou Image to me for some reason, as the new president, I hereby assure you that for the time being, everything in the company will continue as usual, there will be no layoffs or salary cuts, whether there are any new arrangements, and after a while, I will be notified by this Vice President Lin beside me." ”

This temporary meeting is very simple, it is to explain that the company has changed its boss, and there will be no changes in the company for the time being, but it will not be guaranteed in the future.

After speaking, Huo Yaowen asked the employees to do what they should do, leaving only the three most important people in the company at present, Gao Tianxun, Odabe Yoichi, and Huo Yaowen Miyazaki, who is most valued.

The employees walked out of the conference room one after another, and as soon as they got outside, they opened up the topic, gathered together in twos and threes, and chatted.

"I didn't expect our new president to be Huo Yaowen!"

"Yes, yes, I'm a fan of Mr. Huo's books! Some time ago, I took a leave of absence, and I went to Ginza to attend his book signing. ”

"I don't know why Mr. Huo bought our company?

"It should be Kyushu! Isn't Kyushu already out of a manga? I think it might be adapted into an anime!"

......

On the other side, in the conference room.

Shinnosuke Asunuma saw that Huo Yaowen had not spoken for a long time, and his heart suddenly understood, and he got up and said, "Mr. Huo, then I won't bother." ”

"Then I can't send it off, Mr. Asanuma. ”

"No, no, no. ”

Shinnosuke Asunuma got up and went out, while waving his hand hurriedly, and when he opened the door and was about to go out, he glanced back at the conference room where he had been for several years, and couldn't help but sigh deeply, although it was sold, he was still a little reluctant in his heart.

After all the irrelevant people left, Huo Yaowen first looked at Hayao Miyazaki, who was still dark in his beard and hair, he was still very young at the moment, and he had no future achievements.

This can be said to be one of the few world-renowned animation masters in later generations, and Huo Yaowen still remembers many of his creations, such as "Spirited Away", "My Neighbor Totoro", "Castle in the Sky", "Valley of the Wind", "Goldfish Princess" and other excellent works.

A few days ago, when Huo Yaowen saw Miyazaki in the Zuiyou Imaging employee profile from Lin Xiaotang, he finalized the acquisition decision without saying a word, and would rather give more money than miss this good opportunity!

In fact, Huo Yaowen was able to win this company without much money, but in addition to Miyazaki, he didn't expect that there would be Gao Tianxun among the employees!

This is also a very good animation master in Japan, and his director has many animation works, and the most impressive for domestic audiences should be "Grave of the Fireflies".

This animated film "Grave of the Fireflies", which touched many people, can be said to be the most classic anti-war cartoon.

When Huo Yaowen was in his twenties, he revisited this animated movie he watched when he was a teenager, and he couldn't help but cry.

In fact, in addition to Hayao Miyazaki and Xun Takada, the Odabe Yoichi that Huo Yaowen didn't know is also a very good animator, he is one of the earliest animators in Japan, one of the character designers, and his representative works include the original painting of the TV cartoon "Young Ape Flying Sasuke", the original painting of "Heidi, the Girl of the Alps", etc.

However, the most classic he created is the "Pokemon" cartoon, that is, "Pokemon", "Pokémon", and "Pokemon" with multiple translations......

Later, he joined the game company Nintendo as the chief royal artist, creating series such as "Super Mario" and "The Legend of Zelda".

A small animation company, there are actually three very good master animators, it can be said that Huo Yaowen's acquisition of Zuiyou Image is a big profit.
