Is Wanbao really out of money?

In order to verify this statement, Gu Miao didn't care about giving Coco a birthday at all, and hurriedly called Lao Zhang and Ma Kui to understand the situation.

"There is such a thing......"

As the new vice president, Lao Zhang can be regarded as the top Jiang Keke's position, mainly responsible for the group's personnel administration, and also has a certain jurisdiction over finance.

Under his description, Gu Miao finally knew what was going on.

It turned out that it was in September of this year.

At the beginning of Gu Miao's business, several loans that she had financed from banks have expired one after another.

It's not a big head.

The big head is that Gu Miao bought the land of [Wanbao Pleasant Goat Paradise] from Mr. Xiong, and the balance payment needs to be paid as soon as possible.

"Deceived Kangxi"

"Not ......"

Gu Miao hesitated: "I just checked the accounts two days ago, don't we still have hundreds of millions of liquidity on our books?" ”

"It's almost gone!"

"Some time ago, you allocated a sum of money to the puppet studio, another to the Wolfsburg studio, and then a sum of money to the dimension studio."

"Just now, you allocated another sum of money to Huang Kun and Xiao Guo......

Ma Kui snapped his fingers and settled the account for Gu Miao: "Our family background is very thick, but no matter how thick our family background is, we can't afford to squander it like this!" ”

I see.

Gu Miao suddenly woke up to the fact that there were too many new works/projects launched during this time, which squeezed out most of the company's cash flow.

Coupled with the expiration of the bank loan, the payment of the balance of the land of Mr. Xiong, the maintenance of the normal operation of the company, etc., Ma Kui asked Xiao Guo and Huang Kun to ask for a little less money.

"But that's not right!"

Gu Miao muttered to herself: "In the first half of this year, didn't we launch several popular animations one after another?" ”

"Like "Pokémon", "Sailor Moon 2" and "Happy Year of Sheep", etc., don't you make money?"

"Earned!"

Ma Kui spread his hands and said: "But this money hasn't been recovered yet!" Have you forgotten that it takes time to get your money back, and it's usually on a quarterly or even semi-annual basis. ”

That's broken!

As soon as he said this, Gu Miao suddenly realized the seriousness of the problem.

As Maqui said, it takes time to get your money back. It's not that if you make money, that money will appear in your account immediately, and you will have to wait a long time for it to be collected.

But now that the loan is due, the company has launched several animation projects, and there is no money on the books.

"Really out of money?"

"It's gone!"

Lao Zhang shook his head and said: "The solution now is either to negotiate with the bank and give us a few days of relief, or to urge our partners to give us back as soon as possible." ”

"Rush!"

"Whoever drags our money, hurry up and let them give it to us. As for the bank, I'll go and negotiate with them, and it's not so urgent. ”

Gu Miao groaned: "But far water can't quench the thirst of the near, at this time, what we need more is cash, sufficient cash." ”

"That's right!"

Ma Kui and Lao Zhang nodded in unison.

As long as you have cash, all problems can be solved. But the question now is, where to get "hundreds of millions" of cash in the short term?

Gu Miao thought about finding someone to "borrow".

An iron buddy like Mr. Xiao Xiong, who has a lifelong friendship, should not have much of a problem to borrow some money from him for emergency at a critical time.

But Gu Miao didn't want to borrow money for the time being.

This mouth once, that's human affection! Even if you calculate interest for others, it is still a favor! As we all know, personal debts are the most difficult to repay.

As a last resort, Gu Miao didn't want to owe others a favor for no reason.

The main thing is......

He has already come up with an idea on how to get a cash flow in the short term and alleviate the financial crisis faced by the company.

……

Jiangchuan, Wanbao Toy Factory.

Formerly known as "Wanzhibao", the toy factory is located in an industrial park on the outskirts. Since it was acquired and renamed "Wanbao Toys", it has become one of the most stable sources of cash flow for Wanbao.

The reason why it is "one" is because in addition to the peripheral derivatives business, Wanbao is also very profitable in terms of "IP licensing".

Of course!

No matter how profitable IP licensing is, it is definitely not comparable to the "peripheral derivatives business" in terms of influence.

After all, there are only a few people in IP operation?

On the other hand, Wanbao Toys has thousands of employees in just one factory. In terms of social influence, it is simply not on the same level.

But that being said......

As the president of Wanbao, Gu Miao rarely comes to the toy company. Usually, Lao He goes to the downtown headquarters and reports to him.

So why did he come here today?

And if you don't come early or late, just when the employees are off work and everyone is about to go home for dinner?

This surprised Lao He.

He had just come out of the workshop and was about to drive home, but as soon as he entered the parking lot, the secretary came to tell him: Mr. Gu was on his way here, and there was something important to discuss with him!

Okay!

Although he didn't know what big things Mr. Gu discussed with him, Lao He still called his wife and told her that he might not be able to go back tonight.

"Mr. Gu, welcome, welcome!"

The moment he hung up the phone, Lao He saw Mr. Gu and hurriedly stepped forward to shake hands and greet him.

"Alright, don't be polite."

Gu Miao glanced at the factory area, and after finding that the workers had already left off work one after another, he hurriedly asked, "Are the masters in the factory all off work?" ”

"A few more are ......"

"Then bring them here, I have something here, let them see if they can make it." Gu Miao took out a drawing prepared in advance, handed it to Lao He and said.

Lao He glanced at it, and there was a black line.

Judging by his professional vision, most of these drawings were drawn by Mr. Gu himself, after all, only a layman can draw such rough and non-standard design drawings.

That's not the point, though.

When he invited several masters in the factory who had not yet had time to get off work to the conference room, everyone had a heated discussion around Mr. Gu's drawing.

"E-Pokémon?"

"That's right!"

Gu Miao pointed to the drawings and said, "I hope that this machine can raise electronic Pokémon pets, and has functions such as training, feeding, and interaction." ”

"It's easy."

Lao He nodded, like this kind of "electronic pet" program, it is very simple to get out, and the difficulty is not very high.

But Gu Miao's subsequent words made everyone frown.

"I hope that this machine can interact with other machines through infrared, Bluetooth or WIFI modules, that is, PVP mode!"

Ahh

Compared with the previous electronic pets, this "linkage PVP" module is more difficult to get.

However, there is a limit to how difficult it is, as long as you are willing to work hard, you can achieve this function. When I think of the popularity of the animation "Pokémon" now, everyone's eyes light up.

Is there a digital version of Pokémon?

A small machine, raise a "Pokémon" of your own, train it, play with it to increase intimacy, and then start a PVP duel with other players?

It seems like...... It's interesting!
