James has been fighting with Michiko in the past few days, Zuo Jiang is like he didn't see it, he doesn't understand the Americans and the Japanese, but he knows that Westerners are the most taboo about others interfering in his private affairs, and the government often talks about human rights, let alone a company. However, Zuo Jiang has become interested in Gong Qijun and Toei Animation Company in the past few days, and asked Jenny to collect a lot of information for him, and he studied it in the room if he had nothing to do.

Japan is a big country in animation, and it is a hegemon-level position in Asia and even the world, and the cartoons that Zuo Jiang has seen in the past such as "Astro Boy" and "Smart Ikyu" that have swept China are all produced by Japan. And some of the domestic animation are from some film studios, it should be said that it is a by-product of the film studio, not valued at all, both the creativity and production level are too far from the Japanese cartoons, animation in China is a big cake, Zuo Jiang has Jiangyi Film and Television Culture Development Company in his hands, how can he not move his mind!

I don't know if I don't study, and I'm shocked when I research. This Gong Qijun and Toei Animation Company are too famous in Japan. Gong Qijun is a well-known Japanese manga artist and animation production expert, whose achievements and status are second only to Osamu Tezuka, the originator of Japanese animation, who passed away in February this year, and is a legendary figure in the Japanese animation industry.

Hayao Miyazaki was born on January 5, 1941 in Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo, and his family moved to the countryside of Tochigi Prefecture due to the evacuation of World War II during World War II. This rural life had a significant impact on his later work. In 1958, Japan's first animated film "The Legend of the White Snake" was released. Just as Osamu Tezuka saw the "Iron Fan Princess" by the three Wan brothers in China, the young Miyazaki decided to devote himself to the animation career.

In 1968, the anime "The Adventure of the Sun Prince - Horus", produced by Toei Animation and supervised by Isao Takada, was released. Although it looks on par with "The Haier Brothers" now, it was a remarkable feat at the level of production at the time. Hayao Miyazaki's work on the concept painting and scene design in this film was appreciated by his predecessor Isao Takada, and then he gradually began to take on more important tasks.

In April 1978, Japan's state-run television station NHK broadcast the weekly TV animation "Future Boy Conan" (Hong Kong translation "Gao Li's Future World"). This is Miyazaki's first time as an animation supervisor. In terms of plot, it is also the first time that the theme of "the future of highly developed technology flooded" appears in the animation, and the protagonists Conan and Lana are a pair of standard Japanese animation heroes and heroines, brave boy + gentle girl. This is also very similar to "Great White Dick" and "Little Wyvern" of the same period.

In December 1979, the animated film "Rogue Lupin III - The City of Cagliostro" supervised by Hayao Miyazaki was released. From this supervision of Hayao Miyazaki, the "Lupin" series became a repertoire of Japanese animation.

In March 1984, "Valley of the Wind" was released, and the unique worldview and human values in the play profoundly influenced the trend of Japanese animation in the following ten years, and the heroine Nausicaa occupied the first place in the list of the best popular characters in the past ten consecutive years. Miyazaki also established his irreplaceable position in the global animation industry because of this film, and Disney honored him as the Kurosawa of the animation industry. At the same time, Hayao Miyazaki, a manga artist, did not stop there, and the manga version of "Valley of the Wind" was serialized in the monthly magazine "Animage" of Tokuma Shoten's anime information magazine "Animage" from 79 years ago, and it has not been finished until now. Released along with "Valley of the Wind", there is also "Detective Sherlock Holmes ~ The Treasure of the Blue Ruby Under the Sea", as well as a special episode of "Future Young Conan".

In 1985, Studio Ghibli was founded, and Miyazaki's animation career began to flourish, and in the same year, Ghibli began working on Castle in the Sky, and since then, Studio Ghibli has become a studio dedicated to animation for Miyazaki and Takahata.

The name "ghibli" actually meant the hot winds blowing in the Sahara Desert. During World War II, Italian Air Force pilots named their reconnaissance aircraft "Ghibli". Hayao Miyazaki, a flying machine maniac, knew about it, and decided to use "Ghibli" as the name of their studio. And behind the name, there is another layer of meaning, that is, I hope that this studio can set off a whirlwind in the Japanese animation industry!

Looking at Toei Animation again, Zuo Jiang gasped even more. Founded in 1948, Toei Animation is one of Japan's oldest animation production companies. When it was first established as Nippon Animation Co., Ltd., it was later renamed Nichido Pictures Co., Ltd. in 1952, and was renamed Toei Animation Co., Ltd. in 1956 after being bought by Toei.

Toei Animation's first theatrical anime was "The Legend of the White Snake", and the first TV anime was "Wolf Boy". There is a TV anime

"Smart Ikyu", "Transformers Series", "Let's Fight! Hypermechanical Lifeform Transformers, Let's Fight! Supermechanical Lifeform Transformers 2010", "Transformers Theheadmaster" and other popular works. As for the theatrical version of the anime, there were "The Legend of the White Snake" and "Galaxy Railway 999" before the 80s, and "Dragon Ball Movie Series", "Sailor Moon Movie Series" and "Transformers Themovie" after the 80s.

Zuo Jiang's heart was almost cold when he saw this, such a famous animation company and such a master cartoonist, it is simply an impossible task to collect and use, this level of animation company and cartoonist is like the quintessence of the country in Japan, even if he is rich, it is impossible to shake them, how can the quintessence of the country be betrayed? That was undoubtedly a foot in a minefield.

Zuo Jiang was so deflated that he suddenly lay down on the bed in a big shape, and couldn't help sighing and sighing. Jenny climbed on top of him and held his face and said, "Dear Zuo, what's wrong with you?" ”

Zuo Jiang stretched out his hand and hugged Jenny's slender waist and said, "It turns out that Dongyu Animation and that Gong Qijun are so famous, it's okay not to read these materials, I was really surprised when I saw it!" ”

Jenny kissed Zuo Jiang's forehead and said, "Dear Zuo, I was just about to ask you, what are you doing studying Toei Animation and that Gong Qijun?" ”

Zuo Jiang told Jenny about his idea of buying Toei's animation, and then said, "It seems that it is impossible to acquire Toei Animation, so I can only find a small animation company to buy it!" ”

"Nothing is impossible!" Jenny said in a very firm tone: "Dear Zuo, as long as he is a listed company, as long as we have money, let alone a small animation company, it is possible to acquire multinational companies such as Mitsui Heavy Industries and Toyota Motor!" "Jenny is a financial expert, and she thinks directly from the perspective of capital action, and does not think about other issues at all.

Jenny's words gave Zuo Jiang confidence again, and made him suddenly think that he was an American company, the so-called national quintessence, the so-called national feelings, and who was it aimed at. If a Chinese company acquires Toei Animation, the Japanese people and even the Japanese government can't accept it, but if it's an American company, it's a different story, Japan and the United States are allies, and many things depend on the United States.

Thinking of this, Zuo Jiang said excitedly: "Dear Jenny, your words have reminded me, in this way, you arrange for someone to find me the listing information of Dongyu Animation, and we will study it to see if it is possible!" ”

"Okay, dear!" Jenny kissed Zuo Jiang and stood up, got out of bed and walked to the telephone to call James in the Tokyo stock market, James said: OK! Happily accepted the task.

Zuo Jiang and Jenny had a passion, took a mandarin duck bath again, and when they were about to go downstairs for dinner, the doorbell remembered. Zuo Jiang and Jenny were staying in a luxurious suite in the Tokyo Hotel, and Zuo Jiang came out of Jenny's bedroom and walked through the small living room to the conference living room and opened the door. Sure enough, it was James, who handed a document bag in his hand to Zuo Jiang and said, "Chairman, all the information that General Manager Jenny wants is here!" ”

Zuo Jiang took the file bag and said, "Good work, James!" Let's have dinner together! ”

James smiled and said, "Chairman, thank you for your kindness, I have already made an appointment with Michiko for dinner, next time!" ”

Zuo Jiang smiled happily and said, "Okay, you go, I wish you a happy night!" ”

After James left, Zuo Jiang and Jenny didn't bother to go up to dinner, opened the file bag, took out the materials inside, and looked at them separately. Dongyu Animation issued a total of 8 million outstanding shares, accounting for 45% of the company's total shares, and the other 55% of the shares are earned in the hands of several major shareholders of the company, and now the circulating price per share is 2,500 yen, equivalent to about 20 US dollars, and the company's total market value is about 360 million US dollars.

Zuo Jiang couldn't help but be stunned when he saw this, no matter how valuable an animation company is, it can't be worth so much money! Don't say $360 million, even $100 million, I won't buy it! I couldn't help but call Jenny to see if I was wrong. Jenny looked at it for a while and said, "That's right, it's $360 million!" ”

Seeing Zuo Jiang's puzzled look, Jenny said: "It's really incomprehensible that an animation company is worth so much money, but you can understand it by looking at this information." As he spoke, he spread the information in his hand on the table, pointed to the number on it and said: "Two months ago, the stock price of Toyu Animation was 300 yen, about 2.2 US dollars per share, which means that the company's total market value is less than 40 million US dollars, this figure you feel is a more real reflection of the value of Toei Animation, half a month ago it rose to about 1000 yen per share, and now it has soared to 2500 yen a share, I feel that the water here is too much, and now it is not suitable for acquisition!" ”

Of course, Zuo Jiang will not make an acquisition now, what he thinks in his heart is what number can the stock of Dongyu Animation Company fall after the Japanese stock market crash on January 1, 90, and only then will the acquisition be the most beneficial!
