232. A good hand of cards is played poorly
For what happened after Ai Sato went out.
Gu Xue didn't know for the time being.
She is also immersed in the news that the investor of the theatrical version of "Little Witch Academy: Magic Parade" is going to file for bankruptcy.
Gu Xue knew that the other party's situation was very bad, and when she heard some news from Miss Mihara a few days ago, she was mentally prepared.
But she didn't expect it to be so bad.
I'm going to file for bankruptcy......
"Miss Mihara, what are we going to do then...... No, did they settle their money? β
Gu Xue looked at Miss Mihara and had a headache.
It's the end of October now, and less than a month later, according to Small's side, "Little Witch Academy: Magic Parade", which premiered at the North American Comic-Con, will be released.
The other party went bankrupt, which is really troublesome.
The first is publicity, and then there is the issue of docking.
Yuki Studio has very little involvement in the release of animation, or it has never been cared about at all, after all, Yuki Studio is the producer, and it has been established for a short time, so there is no talent in this area at all, which is one of the reasons why Gu Xue made up her mind to find an investor.
But now it's good.
The investor went bankrupt...... Everything has to be left back to YUKI Studios.
Negotiate with the publisher, negotiate with the Comic Con, and various cooperations......
This will probably have to be taken over by YUKI Studios.
Gu Xue...... Gu Xue has a fart person.
And even if there are people, this is not an easy thing to deal with, and if you don't talk about good things, you suddenly change people, what will the other party think?
After the negotiation is done, if the person is replaced now, will the other party change the hexagram?
In a word...... Gu Xue felt that it was going to be over.
ββ¦β¦ Don't worry about the premiere. β
As if guessing Gu Xue's thoughts, Mihara Chisa put her hands on Gu Xue's shoulders, pressed them gently, and then gave her a reassuring look.
"Mr. Osawa of Small is still in charge, and some of the things that he is mainly responsible for have been handed over to me, and I have repeatedly confirmed with the organizer of the North American comic con that there will be no problems with the premiere."
Gu Xue grabbed Miss Mihara's wrist, and after a moment of silence, she smiled bitterly: "...... That's good news. β
"But ......"
Miss Mihara changed her mind.
Gu Xue: "......"
"There is no publicity, originally Small's side promised that if we could promise to change the release date to November, we would add a large amount of publicity and distribution expenses for publicity in North America, but now let alone North America, there will be no publicity in China, and Small will be collected for debts...... And we don't have much money left over at YUKi Studio......"
Gu Xue had a bitter face and replied: "So there will be nothing when "Little Witch Academy: Magic Parade" is released, and we can only print a banner at the door at most, right?" β
"Hmm." Miss Mihara's hands on Gu Xue's shoulders were raised, pinched Gu Xue's soft face, and responded.
"Damn ......"
Gu Xue wailed, and her head lay on Mihara Qiansha's little belly.
"What's the difference between this and doing indie animation! What the hell the investor went bankrupt, I shouldn't have ...... in the first place So Small isn't stupid? β
Gu Xue rubbed Mihara Qiansha's little belly and complained.
In fact, the reason for Small's bankruptcy ...... Although there are external forces, the most important thing is that they did it themselves.
Mr. Osawa's company.
Smallγ
It was originally a small factory, and it has been inexplicably unwilling to cooperate with large factories, but it was okay at the beginning, the amount was small and fine, and it was also considered to have a certain reputation in the industry.
But as their boss was eager to expand the market, increase the number of orders, and frequently reprint, the problem arose.
The quality control collapsed directly, and there was a big problem with the quality of the figures.
Because the foundry they are looking for is simply not capable of undertaking large orders.
Because of these things, the reputation that Small's hard work has accumulated is gone in an instant.
Revenues have also plummeted.
Because of this incident, Ryo Osawa came to YUKI Studio to invest in "Little Witch Academy: Magic Parade", hoping to regain his reputation with high-quality exclusive products and expand overseas markets by the way.
As it turned out, they were on the right move.
Although Gu Xue was not optimistic about their decision-making at first.
But after they opened the pre-sale of the "Little Witch Academy" series of figures, the pre-sale was unexpectedly gratifying.
If nothing else, if they can do a good job of quality control.
I don't know if it really became an instant hit.
Maybe he will become the fourth person of the Imperial Three Family.
But there aren't so many ifs.
Small, the company's decision-maker, knew that the company's product reputation collapsed because of the foundry's quality control problems.
Still stud-style gave all the figurine orders of "Little Witch Academy" to the foundry.γ
I heard that the reason for this is simply because the nephew of the small boss is a small leader of a certain department in that foundry......
And then...... And then it collapsed.
The first figurines came out.
That quality.
Buyers will be heartbroken when they see it, and stylists will cry when they see it.
And the quality of the later batches is not much better.
Later, the owner of the foundry ran away.
Small learned that the president of the foundry, greedy for money and gambling, owed a lot of debts, and had been paying employees for nearly three months.
The reason why the foundry can still hold on is completely by drawing a big pie and Small, a fool.
Small, the big man who was wronged, stepped up.
In the end, the boss of the foundry ran away.
Small paid part of the money, and the product was not made, and they had a problem with their revenue, and the money for investing in GIFs was also loaned, which was under the chain reaction.
It's all over.
Small now not only has to find a way to refund the money to buyers who have ordered the "Little Witch Academy" series of figures, but also has to be asked for wages by the employees of the foundry......
In short, it's a good hand to play poorly.
"I don't know what Small's decision-makers think, this kind of thing was discovered by me earlier, the first batch of orders should have been investigated, and I had to wait for others to run away before I remembered to investigate, where did they get the confidence, does the company have Naoki Hanzawa?"
Gu Xue hugged Miss Sanyuan's waist, and her face hated that iron could not become steel.
Miss Mihara: "Naoki Hanzawa?"
"Nothing...... It's just a pity that they have a good hand of cards.,Originally, the "Little Witch Academy" series of figures took off.,But they did it.,If it's me......"
Speaking of which.
Gu Xue suddenly stopped talking.
A crazy idea came to mind.
Now that the market has proven the ability of the "Little Witch Academy" figure to attract money, and Small just happened to go bankrupt, so can I ......
ββ¦β¦β
Gu Xue was silent for a moment.
Suddenly, he shook his head vigorously.
Forget it, she's not this material.
If she doesn't do it, she'll go bankrupt.
Moreover, the acquisition also costs money, she has no money now, if she asks her sister, it is not as simple as holding Gu Rou and begging her to agree.
The amount will be very large, and even if Gu Rou is really willing to give, Gu Xue does not feel that she has the ability to operate.
Unless my sister comes to YUKI Studio, or Aunt Miyamoto, it's okay......
The possibility of these two people coming to YUKI Studio is almost zero......
"Forget it." Gu Xue thought for a while, and temporarily put down this idea, "Regardless of Small's side, let them deal with their own mess first, we can handle the premiere of the North American Comic Con alone, anyway, the date can't be postponed." β
"Hmm."
Miss Mihara replied softly.
"Half a month to go......"
Gu Xue was also paralyzed enough, she let go of Miss Sanyuan's waist, stretched her waist, and said, "It's been a hard time like this, Miss Sanyuan." Let's go out tomorrow and have a good rest for half a day...... By the way, find out if there is a banner.,Make a good banner and bring it to the comic exhibition.,How can you pull a banner and tell others what animation to broadcast without publicity.,Right......"
Chisa Mihara: "......"
