The place of negotiation was chosen by Dawning Studio, and the location was in the conference room of Dawning Studio.

Facing the clubs and offices that don't know the depths on the other side.

The three of them decided to choose the place that was most beneficial to them, and it was undoubtedly the best choice to negotiate in a familiar environment.

plus the other people in the studio, I have more confidence in my heart.

Shuguang Studio is basically the technical control of animation production.

The experience of never winning an investment made them full of uncertainty about the next meeting with Firefly.

What might the other party say, how to ask for a price if there is real hope, and what will be the future development of the studio......

In the past three days, the three founders of Shuguang Studio were almost bald.

"Think again, is there anything else you want to say?" Imai put down the document in his hand and rubbed the bridge of his nose with his fingers.

It's been a long time since I've had a good rest.

"That's all you can think of, and the rest can only depend on what the other party says, and then think about it temporarily." Taku Tanabe said.

"Except for one "Spring Day", I can't get any other one, so what else can I talk about. If it had been ...... earlier" Junpei Maruyama snorted coldly, and even now he couldn't help but complain.

"Alright. At the beginning, Junpei, didn't you agree to make an animated movie together? Say less. Takuto Tanabe hurriedly said before Sota Imai spoke.

"I don't know what will become of the studio after today......"

"What else can it become, either dissolve or continue to exist." Junpei Maruyama put his arms on the sofa.

The atmosphere in the room was a little heavier.

"No matter what, we did what we had to do." Imai Cangta stood up straight from the original leaning on the edge of the table, "At least the Dawning Studio has one more chance, and when we meet the other party, we must stabilize it, and we can't mess up first." ”

After Sota Imai said this, his eyes glanced at Junpei Maruyama on the side.

"I see." Junpei Maruyama let out a long sigh, "I'm not stupid. I would like to see the continuation of the Dawning Studio. ”

looked at the two people in front of them who disliked each other in their mouths, but had the same goal in their hearts.

Takushi Tanabe smiled helplessly, although he was very tired of this discussion meeting or something, but it was not bad to be able to work together with friends for something like this.

"I really don't know how Firefly Studio fell in love with us, hasn't Firefly been making pure love movies before?" There was still a while before the set time, Taku Tanabe casually found a topic and said.

"I don't know." Junpei Maruyama's answer was simple, "Maybe it's just a coincidence that I'm interested." This question is always said. ”

Sota Imai speculated: "There are not a few small animation studios like Akebono Studio, and even if it suddenly closes, there is nothing surprising. Firefly will come to the door at this time, I guess there should be something that attracts him to Dawning Studio, the studio only has one work "Spring Day...... Anime plot? Style? Picture...... It's all our specialty. ”

"There's really no news at all. This office didn't have any animation-related business before, so I can't think of what the other party is. After thinking for a while, Imai shook his head.

"After all, when we meet, we have to try each other's bottom first, and wait until we know some of the other side's thoughts before making plans, right?" Junpei Maruyama said.

"Hmm."

"That'...... We just need to shout more than 400 million yen, right? Taku Tanabe asked in a low voice.

Imai Cangta nodded: "Although I don't know how much is appropriate, I simply ask for a high price." ”

"Isn't it a little too much?" Taku Tanabe felt a little weak in his heart.

"Stupid, you don't have to do so much. This price is the price at which the entire studio is sold to the other party, and it is always necessary to shout higher to give the other side room to press down. What's more, didn't this guy Imai say, let's see what the other party thinks first, if it's just an investment, it can be less. Junpei Maruyama said.

Taku Tanabe nodded, just as he was about to continue saying something.

There was a knock on the door of the house, and a man pushed the door and said to the three people inside.

"The people from the Firefly Office are here."

Swish.

The three of them stood up at once.

"It's going to start, steady, this is our place, relax."

"I want you to say it."

“……”

………………………………………………………………

"President Kimura, it's here."

Teppei Yingno opened the car door.

Hayabusa Kimura looked up at a small three-volume building in front of him, and the words "Aurora Studio" were pasted on the glass on the second floor.

"Here?" Kokoki Kimura stood beside the car and looked around.

The feeling of being surrounded by a group of people in the workplace made Mu Xinxi feel a little uncomfortable.

In the crowd of black suits, a different color of clothing emerged of itself.

What is this......

The scenes between the Tokyo gangster and the daughter, what kind of mess is this?

But one thing is true on TV.

This group of working adults in Tokyo is dressed exactly like on TV.

"An animation studio. I'm going to have something to talk to about this studio in a moment. Hayabusa Kimura explained, looking down at his sister, "Wait inside, don't run around." ”

"Got it." Kimura agreed.

It's like talking about something, smashing something, right?

The girl muttered in her heart, but did not say it.

"Mr. Matsuura." After the instructions, Hayabusa Kimura greeted the person in charge of the Moriike Kai Company.

This time it would be more accurate to say that it should be the Firefly Office, the Dawning Studio, and the Moriike Club.

But.

"President Kimura. President Suzuki has already explained in advance, and everything is at the behest of President Kimura. Shuichi Matsuura said as he bent down.

Having said that, the actual firefly office and the Moriike club have already exchanged news, and what they want to say in a while is just to do what they said before.

When the three members of Dawning Studio came downstairs to greet them, the expressions on their faces changed several times in an instant.

What is it? How are there so many people.

Sota Imai swallowed, his eyes staring blankly at the black crowd in front of him.

"Hold steady, don't panic, don't panic."

Junpei Maruyama's face was also a little reluctant: "Why are so many people here." ”

Taku Tanabe: "Cangtai ......"

"It's okay, it's okay, everything has me, don't be afraid." Sota Imai comforted.

"It's not. I mean, can you please not press my arm? It's too heavy. ”

“…… Excuse me. ”

"That's the president of the Firefly Office, isn't that ...... I'm too young. ”

The eyes of the three of them suddenly fell on the young man at the front of the crowd, who was young and handsome.

The three of them thought they were young enough when they started a studio, but the people in front of them were even younger......

I can't imagine that the president of the Firefly Office is such a young man.

After a moment's pause, the three of them also rushed forward.

"Hello."

"Hello."

"I contacted on the phone before, the head of the foreign affairs team of the Hotaru Office, Tetsuhei Eino, and this is the president of our office, Hayabusa Kimura...... This is the head of the Foreign Affairs Department on behalf of Moriike Kaisha, Mr. Shuichi Matsuura......"

"I'm Akebono Studio Sota Imai, he's Taku Tanabe, and this is Junpei Maruyama."

"Then let's go in and talk."

"Okay."

A group of people walked into the small building of the Dawning Studio, and Kimura Koki was arranged on the sofa in the office.

The rest of the people all walked towards the conference room on the third floor.

In the eyes of everyone in Dawning Studio.

The three directors of their own studio were taken upstairs as if they were being coerced by a group of people.

That's too formal......

In addition, there is more of an uneasy expectation in everyone's hearts.

After today, Dawning Studios will decide what path to go in the future.

………………………………………………………………

The atmosphere in the conference room had an inexplicable eerie feel to it, and it didn't feel like a discussion.

It's more like some kind of hearing.

On one side of the Akebono studio sat Sota Imai, Junpei Maruyama and Takura Tanabe.

On the opposite side sat a row of people, and a pair of sharp eyes fell on the three people.

Oh no.

Not everyone's eyes are so sharp, for example, Hayaya Kimura's gaze is very soft.

It's like you're looking at something very precious, and it's frustrating.

And the next process is more like a war of words.

They were in a row.

"I wonder what the three of you think about the purchase price of Dawning Studios?" Teppei Eino asked.

"I'd like to hear your opinion on this. After all, it's you who come to talk to Shuguang Studio, and you have to see some sincerity......"

"Don't be in a hurry if you have an opinion. Actually, I'm half a fan of Aurora Studio, and the short film "Spring" is very good......" Shuichi Matsuura said.

"Really?" Taku Tanabe was a little surprised.

"Ahem......" Sota Imai and Junpei Maruyama's hands pressed on Taku's legs in unison.

"Really. As far as I know, since its inception, Dawning Studio seems to have only produced one short film "Spring Day", right? ”

...... the short animation "Spring Day" won a special award at the Kazuha CG Animation Competition. It's an early work of the studio, and if it were now, Dawning Studios could make better animations......"

"Mr. Imai. "Kasuhi" won the special award of the Kazuha CG Animation Competition, and a total of three works won this award, and "Kasuga" is just one of them. Of course, it is undeniable that "Kasuga" is a good animated short film, but it is a pity that it did not win the Nagato Animation Award and the Tokyo Animation Award...... Such an award ......" is speaking to another person.

I don't think it's enough. Sota Imai looked at the other side in silence.

"'Spring Day' is a work that was completed when the studio was just starting out, and it doesn't represent the strength of the studio now." Junpei Maruyama said.

"So is it convenient to ask about the current business scale and profitability of Shuguang Studio? If there's something inconvenient to talk about, just give me a rough idea. ”

"This ......" Junpei Maruyama hesitated a little, waiting for Sota Imai to save the scene.

"Regarding this, the studio is working on a commercial animated film that is definitely not inferior to "Kasuga" in terms of graphics, plot and other aspects. As for profitability, the studio is still in its infancy, so it's inconvenient to disclose specific data...... "Sota Imai took over.

Sota Imai, the only one of the three founders of Akebono Studio, did not graduate from an art university.

Hayabusa Kimura looked at him, as if he understood why the other two would open an animation studio with Sota Imai, instead of choosing someone who graduated from another art university.

However, there is still a long ...... in the back

"According to our information here, the new film of Dawning Studio has embarked on the path of crowdfunding......"

"The studio has more than 40 employees, I don't know how the production progress of the new film is?"

“…… I've heard that there are some decision-making disagreements within the Dawning Studio......"

“…………”

“…………”

The air became scorching, and for a while, the three people in the Dawning Studio were a little dry.

The people on the other side had a very clear understanding of the Dawning Studio, and at first the three of them could still find a way to deal with it according to what they had prepared before.

But when it came to the back, it was already powerless to parry.

At this time, Firefly has already begun to promise the benefits of acquiring Dawning Studios.

"With the help of the fame of Firefly Studio, it quickly helped the future works of Dawning Studio to become famous. After the acquisition, all the existing employees of Shuguang Studio can be retained, and even the salary can be appropriately increased. The studio's future office location, Firefly Firm, can help. Mobilize the resources of Moriike Kaisha and Hotaru Studio to provide better scripts and planning ...... for Akebono Studio."

“…………”

After some words, the three people in the Dawning Studio were slightly silent.

A sense of powerlessness rose from the bottom of Imai Cangta's heart, and it had already been said that this situation was in place, and there was basically no big suspense.

The purchase price of Shuguang Studio will definitely be pressed very low by the other party......

After a long time, waiting for the person on the other side to finish speaking, Imai Cangta said with some bitterness.

"How much are you going to use to acquire Dawning Studios......

Seeing this, Teppei Camp and Shuichi Matsuura glanced at each other.

"500 million yen."

"Huh?" The three of them were stunned in unison.

"Of course, this price can be negotiated......"

Wait, how much?

Billion?!

Taku Tanabe thought back to the price that Sota Imai said before, and it seemed to be 400 million yen.

Isn't that already overpowered?

Takuto Tanabe turned his head to look at Sota Imai, and the other party happened to look at him at this time.

Each other can see the confusion in each other's eyes.

Seeing that the three of them didn't speak, Teppei Yingno asked, "Are the three of you dissatisfied with this price?" ”

Hearing this, Imai Cangta suddenly sat up straight, and his eyes looked deeply at the person opposite.

"I think...... It's low. ”

“…………”

Originally, it was just an attempt, but I didn't expect the final purchase price to be 550 million yen.

Hotaru and Moriike Kaisha jointly hold 80% of the future shares of Akebono Studios.

Aurora Studio merged into Firefly Studio, but still retains its original name and members.

Sota Imai, Junpei Maruyama, and Takuto Tanabe had a particularly unreal feeling at this time.

The row of people who used to look full of oppression is now a little kind.

550 million yen!

It's more than enough to finish the studio's current animated film and make some new films.

"Oh, there's one more thing, after the merger of Aurora Studios, the animated movie you were working on before needs to stop."

"No problem." Junpei Maruyama agreed almost without thinking about it.

Sota Imai also nodded.

"Stop?" Taku Tanabe was stunned, "You want to give up the animated movie?!" ”

"It's not about giving up. It's to make a new one. ”

A stack of papers was shoved in front of the trio. (End of chapter)
