Kyoani is a well-known animation studio in the Tokyo metropolitan area, and has been involved in the outsourced production of many classic animations.

But being well-known doesn't mean they're big and the company is valuable......

Contrary.

When judging the value of an animation company, it is mainly based on the amount of assets and the copyright library.

This amount of assets is very general, it can be a specific animation work, it can be a popular animation character, or it can be a two-dimensional scene that has appeared in an animation.

If it is a 3D animation, the modeling of the animated character can also be counted in the amount of assets.

Speaking of Kyooani Studio, as an animation studio that has just been transformed, they used to make outsourcing orders for people, to put it bluntly, they are doing things for money, how can they accumulate assets?

The only valuable asset is probably the animation "Ice Candy" that the company is producing and broadcasting.

Therefore, Kyoani Studio is not worth much, after all, there are too few things to get their hands on, and if I have to say, the value of employees is higher than that of the company.

"The office space is rented, the equipment is not valuable, the data files are not valuable, and there are few employees who are ......."

At the end, Seto was a little speechless and said, "A small workshop and a small team like this, the industry grabs a lot of it, what's the use of us buying it?" ”

You can't spend money in vain!

In Seto's opinion, this so-called Kyooani studio is simply useless, and Mr. Gu doesn't know what is crazy about it, and he wants to package and buy this team back.

Not really, right?

Even if Mr. Gu really likes the animation "Ice Candy", isn't it fragrant to buy out the copyright directly? Even the production team bought it, which is really puzzling.

"Okay, don't persuade me."

Gu Miao understood Seto's kindness, but still said stubbornly: "You said it yourself, it doesn't cost a lot of money to buy this kind of small team, so let's think of it as the company recruiting a group of new people!" ”

"What if the other party doesn't want to sell?"

"There is no saying whether you are willing to sell or not, only whether the bid is suitable or not, and all non-selling products are all not given enough price."

Gu Miao said with a smile: "Besides, if the other party really doesn't give face, and the lion has to bite us, won't you just dig people up from the bottom of the kettle?" ”

Non-compete agreement?!

Don't be funny, do you know that the non-compete agreement requires compensation from the employer? Not everyone is eligible to sign a non-compete agreement, at least not for such a small team.

As long as Wanbao doesn't talk about martial arts and is willing to dig the foot of the wall, these small teams can be dismembered in minutes, and only the boss is left.

As the old saying goes, salute before soldiers.

If you can negotiate with Harmony and let Kyoani Studio join Wanbao collectively, it will naturally be the best, if it is not necessary, Gu Miao does not want to poach people indiscriminately.

If you dig up a bastard, it is easy to cause dissatisfaction among other employees and destroy the company's salary balance and team atmosphere.

Gu Miao set his sights on Kyoani Studio, on the one hand, because the animation "Ice Candy" did let him see a trace of KyoAni's shadow.

On the other hand, the Wanbao Neon branch is indeed short of people, and many of its projects are facing the pain point of manpower shortage.

……

“Kyoani？ I'm familiar with this! ”

Koizumi, who is working as an assistant director in the production team of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", learned that Wan Po was interested in Neon Kyoani Animation Studio, and immediately said that he and the president of Kyoani Studio were acquaintances and could help match.

To be precise, they are alumni.

Koizumi had known the president of Kyoani Studio before, and even his Sengoku-themed animation that hit the streets had been outsourced by Kyoani during the production.

"And that kind of thing?"

Gu Miao didn't expect that Koizumi actually knew President Kyoani, which made him sigh that neon was really small, and it was full of acquaintances when he was going around.

"What's so strange about Koizumi knowing President Kyoani, then the neon is only the area of our province, and it's still in the same industry, and the company used to be next to each other, so it's strange not to know it, right?"

Ma Kui said speechlessly: "I want to know more than this, you transferred Koizumi to Neon as a lobbyist, what should I do here?" ”

Mr. Gu is too despicable.

Originally, the production progress of the animation "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" was very slow, and many places required him to negotiate and communicate with Koizumi.

Now it's okay, Koizumi was temporarily transferred to Neon as a lobbyist, and the production team of the animation "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is missing a pillar......

"What are you anxious about?"

Gu Miao glanced at Ma Kui and scolded angrily: "Xiaoquan has only been going for two days, and it's not that he won't come back." How? Without Koizumi, you wouldn't be able to do animation? ”

Who is the real director?

Obviously, Xiaoquan is just an assistant director of foreign aid, and Ma Kui is the person who speaks for the production team of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". But Gu Miao always felt that Xiaoquan's right to speak was greater than that of Ma Kui, a genuine director.

There are even times when Ma Qui can't make up his mind, and he needs Koizumi to help him make a decision.

Is this being hollowed out?

In ancient times, there was a puppet emperor, and the animation production team of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" put aside and there was a puppet director, right?

"How so...... It's a bit outrageous to say that I'm being set aside, but I'm really taking the initiative to give power to Koizumi! ”

Ma Kui said with embarrassment: "Professional things, then let professional people do it, since Xiaoquan has this talent and ambition, then let him play the main force, and it is nothing for me to be responsible for logistics support." ”

"It's a good thing that you have self-knowledge, but you can't let Koizumi lead you by the nose, you have to distinguish who is the big and small king!"

Gu Miao frowned and reprimanded, "Do you dare to promise me that what Xiaoquan did must be right?" If you can't guarantee it, then you can't follow him in everything. ”

In all fairness, since Koizumi joined the production team of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", his work attitude is really okay, and his contributions are obvious to all.

But Gu Miao always wants to emphasize that the director of the animation "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is Ma Kui, not Xiaoquan.

If this animation is all about Koizumi doing his best, and Ma Kui is only responsible for waving the flag and cheering, then it is better to directly promote Koizumi to the chief director, what's the use of keeping Ma Kui?

"Besides, there will be leaders from above who will come to inspect in two days, and when you go back and introduce the animation of "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" to others, no foreigner has made it clear, isn't it a shame to lose your hair?"

"Lead an inspection?"

"That's right! Director Wang just informed me that there is a big leader who is very interested in our "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" animation, and he will pass by Jiangchuan to take a look. ”

Gu Miao raised her eyebrows and said: "Don't ask what level it is, in short, don't embarrass me, don't embarrass our company, you must show the most exquisite side of animation." ”

Otherwise, why did he take Koizumi?

Could it be that the acquisition of Kyoani Studio really needs an acquaintance as a lobbyist, and without Koizumi's matchmaking, this matter cannot be discussed?

Impossible!

The reason why Koizumi was asked to be this lobbyist was not to distract him, so as to prevent the leader from having bad associations or misunderstandings when he saw Koizumi, a foreigner, in the production team.
