Chapter 293: Acquisition Success, New Animated Film
You Man came to acquire Cherry Animation this time, and he still has a certain degree of certainty.
In addition to the budget given by Xu Ji, in fact, the most important thing is the script and character original art settings that Xu Ji sent her a few days ago.
In addition, like the previous Mountain Studio, although it was acquired, the management rights of Tongji Entertainment will not be taken away.
Although Cherry Animation has become a wholly-owned company of Tongji, Yu Longwu can still have the majority of the control.
With such conditions, even if Yu Longwu doesn't seem to be able to enter the oil and salt now, You Man believes that the other party will eventually be moved.
After all, if you don't agree, or you will be acquired by your peers, and it is impossible for the other party to keep Yu Longwu, the boss.
Or just stick to it until finally Cherry Animation's funding chain breaks, and then declares bankruptcy.
Thinking about it from another perspective, You Man couldn't think of any reason why the other party could refuse.
……
Although Yu Longwu was a little surprised at this time, Xu Ji suddenly became interested in the animation industry.
But he had already decided that he would not sell it, so he refused without hesitation at this time, and issued an eviction order.
"Miss You, I already know your intentions."
"But I'm really sorry, I've already decided that I won't sell the cherry animation, so I don't have to talk about it anymore."
Originally, Yu Longwu agreed to meet because he wanted to know which company the person was from, but now that he knows the answer, there is no need to continue the conversation.
Yu Longwu knows very well the words of these company lobbyists, can speak well, and likes to draw big cakes, he doesn't eat this set, and this will not give such an opportunity.
You Man was not in a hurry, and said in a surging manner:
"Mr. Yu, if you don't listen to me, maybe my next words may be different from what you think."
Yu Longwu shook his head.
"Miss You, I know you company lobbyists too well."
"I'm not going to change my mind, so I don't have to work in vain, please go back."
Yu Longwu motioned to the assistant on the side to see off the guest.
At this moment, You Man suddenly spoke:
"Mr. Yu, I watched your company's "Heaven and Earth", and the problem is very big."
"Relying on your cherry animation, you may not have a chance to make a blockbuster animated movie."
Yu Longwu was stunned, the animation "Heaven and Earth" was the name of the movie he didn't want to hear recently.
Because of the large cost of investing in the production of this animated film, the current Cherry Animation is on the verge of bankruptcy.
But after all, it is his own hard work, even if he fights at the box office, he still doesn't want to be ridiculed.
"It's our own business, and we don't bother outsiders."
Yu Longwu's face was not very good-looking, after all, he was poked in the sore spot.
You Man's expression remained unchanged, and he continued to speak:
"Mr. Yu, I didn't mean to offend, it's just that the boss of our company actually has some of the same goals and ideas as you."
"That's what I'm here for."
"To be honest, although Cherry Animation is large, there is actually more than one company we can acquire."
"It is precisely because of the movie "Heaven and Earth" that I will come to your company."
……
Yu Longwu listened to these words quietly, and couldn't help but show a shameful expression.
"Miss You, your boss is Xu Ji, right?"
"It's not that I look down on you, on the contrary, I know very well what Xu Ji is capable of."
"But in the field of animation, interlacing is like a mountain, and it's not something that can be played by just one person."
……
You Man was also a little helpless at this time.
She actually thought the same way before, but since she got Xu Ji's script and original painting last time, she suddenly felt that other people were other people, and Xu Ji was Xu Ji.
You Man is now a little curious, what is there that Xu Ji can't do.
"This is what our boss asked me to bring here, you can take a look at it first."
You Man stretched out his hand and handed the other party a pile of documents.
Yu Longwu took it casually, but he didn't really care much about it.
But after opening it and seeing the character drawings and settings that looked like that, I suddenly let out a "huh" and began to move my ass and look at it seriously.
……
You Man waited quietly like this, and he was not in a hurry, letting the other party flip through the script documents given by Xu Ji.
After about half an hour, Yu Longwu finally put down the script in his hand.
Then he couldn't wait to ask:
"This anime ......"
"Can you animate the cherry for us?"
……
Only halfway through the question, Yu Longwu reacted.
With the current situation of cherry animation, I'm afraid it's not that good.
And the other party made it clear from the beginning that he was here to buy his company.
In other words, Xu Ji is indeed planning to invest in an animated film, and the script and character design drawings are almost done.
But he didn't plan to outsource the project to an outside company, he wanted to buy a company and do it himself.
Also, the investment in this animated film must not be small, and with Yu Longwu's vision, it can naturally be seen that this animated film called "The Return of the Great Sage" is much more mature than his own "Heaven and Earth".
Just thinking about it, being able to participate in the production of such a project, Yu Longwu was excited.
However, if your company is bought and you are the boss, it is unlikely that you will be able to stay in the company.
In other words, this project has nothing to do with itself in the end.
At this time, You Man saw Yu Longwu's tangled expression, which was actually the same as he expected.
So she resolutely continued to speak:
"Mr. Yu, in fact, I also said before that this acquisition is actually different from what you imagined."
"If you agree to the acquisition, Cherry Animation will become a subsidiary of Tongji Entertainment."
"But other than that, nothing else will change, you're still the head of Cherry Animation."
"In addition, you have also read the script given by our boss, and there is a more complete implementation plan for this project, which you will naturally see when the time comes."
"As for the funding of the project, we don't have to worry about it, and we will also be responsible for the company's salary and some previous debts."
"Even the name of the company won't change, it's still cherry animation."
……
You Man's words really made Yu Longwu a little unexpected.
In other words, although it was an acquisition, Xu Ji's company did not plan to meddle in the management.
Aside from the identity of his boss, nothing else has changed much.
And the plan that was originally intended to endure the painful layoffs does not need to continue.
If that's the case, it's really very different from some other companies that want to buy Cherry Animation.
……
Yu Longwu fell into deep thought, as for You Man, as for You Man, just like when she first came, she didn't think the other party would refuse.
The most important thing is that in fact, even if Cherry Animation refuses, it has no impact on Tongji Entertainment.
The worst thing is to spend more time and re-acquire an animation company.
But cherry animation is different, if you don't agree to the acquisition, then you will basically survive for a while, and then finally declare bankruptcy with a high probability.
Tongji Entertainment is indeed the best choice.
Yu Longwu really began to waver at this time.
In fact, he has been reluctant to admit that the company has come to an end.
But those outside who want to buy their own companies, he really doesn't look down on them.
After all, those people are just businessmen, and they don't have much pursuit and love for the animation industry.
It's impossible for him to make an animated movie for adults to take a big gamble.
Instead of giving the company to such a guy, it's better to let Cherry Animation declare bankruptcy and start all over again.
But Xu Ji is different.
The script and original painting taken out from Xu Ji can at least show that the other party does not know anything about this industry.
He had heard a lot of legends, but now he really understood them.
And he saw hope in Xu Ji.
I saw the hope of the rise of Guoman.
It seems that even if you agree, it doesn't seem to be a bad thing if you can let such a work come out of your own hands.
"Mr. You, did you bring the contract?"
"Let's talk about the terms of the acquisition."
……
In the end, Yu Longwu relented.
After agreeing, Yu Longwu showed a relieved smile.
It was a really torturous time for him.
After all, it's impossible to say how long Cherry Animation's current situation can last.
Now it's a relief for him too.
And such a situation does not seem to be bad.
……
You Man didn't expect that after Yu Longwu let go, the next negotiations would be too smooth.
The other party didn't even have the idea of a counteroffer.
You Man agreed directly after the offer.
On the contrary, I am worried about whether I can be the person in charge of the project of "The Return of the Great Sage".
After signing the contract, everything was settled, and Cherry Animation became the second company acquired by Tongji Entertainment.
…… It also seems to be getting bigger.
……
"Acquired?"
"Really?"
Cherry Animation, not long after You Man left, the news of the company's acquisition soon spread.
Some people are still happy.
After all, at least you won't have to worry about wages anymore.
There are other people who are actually not very happy.
Because they were originally recruited by Yu Longwu himself.
If the company is acquired, there is a high probability that Yu Longwu will also leave.
Most of these people want to continue to work with Yu Longwu.
The company has changed owners, and they don't want to stay any longer.
What made Yu Longwu a little laughable was that after hearing the news of the acquisition, he received more than ten resignation letters in just half an hour.
These people want to follow him to make a comeback.
However, they were all persuaded by Yu Longwu to go back, and they didn't expect that although the company was acquired, Yu Longwu was still a manager.
Soon, after Yu Longwu cleaned up his mood, he held a high-level meeting.
"The company has indeed been acquired, but it's business as usual, and there will be no personnel changes."
At the beginning, Yu Longwu said such things directly.
He was also keenly aware that after he finished speaking, several people at the scene had obvious feelings of loss on their faces.
They feel that the company is acquired, Yu Longwu will definitely leave, and the company needs a manager at that time.
As a result, Yu Longwu is not leaving now, which is indeed a little incomprehensible.
"What other projects does our company have now?"
Yu Longwu doesn't say it now, because the company has just been acquired, and he is not the boss after all.
But this time, because of this incident, he remembered everyone's faces.
These people have limited abilities, but they have put a lot of effort into studying relationships.
Although there is nothing wrong with putting interests first, Yu Longwu, who has found a home and is ready to leave, will not blame.
】
But these companies like careful management, which Yu Longwu can't bear.
Now is not the time, sooner or later we will have to settle accounts.
"Mr. Yu, at present, the company only has two small projects, and it is estimated that it will be completed next week at most."
"It's just that it takes time for the project funds to be recovered, I'm afraid it's ......"
Yu Longwu waved his hand.
"Don't worry about the funds, they should be in place in a few days."
"When the time comes, we will pay everyone's wages first."
"But then we don't have to take on new projects, we have more important projects to do."
……
"Mr. Yu, is the entire company vacated?"
Yu Longwu nodded.
This surprised everyone.
After all, this has only happened once before in Cherry Animation.
That is the "Heaven and Earth" animated movie not long ago.
In normal times, when the company usually does animation for young children, at least three projects are carried out at the same time.
The company is also well staffed.
The people who can use the whole company, the scale of the project can be imagined.
It's likely to be an animated movie, but the lessons of "Heaven and Earth" are there, and everyone thinks that the new boss shouldn't be so hard-headed.
Could it be that he received the production of a big-budget game CG?
Yu Longwu didn't explain much, and the project of "The Return of the Great Sage" was a secret in his opinion.
Among the current group of people, there are people who have close ties with some other companies, so he will not release the specific content of the project until he finds these out.
……
This meeting left many people a little confused.
The fact that Yu Longwu is still the person in charge of the company is incredible.
In addition, there are also so-called big projects, which are also mysterious, and I don't know what the origin of the new boss is.
"Who the hell is this new boss?"
"Mr. Yu talked about it for a long time, and he didn't mention it much."
Out of the conference room, someone asked casually.
Some of them were pensive, their expressions serious, and they didn't speak.
And some people who don't think it is so complicated answers:
"I don't know."
"But looking at it like this, it shouldn't be someone in the animation industry."
"It is estimated that it is the capital of new entrants."
……
"Why?"
Someone asked incomprehensibly.
"Definitely, you don't want to think about how resolute Mr. Yu's attitude was before."
"We're even ready to go bankrupt."
"Now I suddenly relented and agreed to the acquisition."
"Although I don't know what conditions the other party gave, from the perspective that Mr. Yu is still in charge, it is estimated that it is related to the so-called big project."
"There's a good chance it's really a new animated movie."
Someone opened his mouth to analyze.
