Chapter 624: The First Step
(I made a mistake in the chapter name. This is 06. The next chapter is 07. I have to find an editor to change it. It is too troublesome, so I will say it here!)
For Takeda Yoichi, last year was really a bad year.
The gt animation production company he is the president of, originally wanted to expand its business last year and increase its profits by 30%.
But it backfired, and the company pulled all the animations in succession.
In fact, many works, even animation production companies, understand that they will definitely not make a lot of money when they are produced. Junk animations have always been criticized, but they still exist, and there must be a reason for their existence.
The most important point. That is. There are indeed so many Xiaobai 2D people who like these works. It seems that the reason why Xiaobaiwen's novels endure for years is not that Xiaobai readers will keep Xiaobai all the time, just because every year there are So many people graduated from kindergarten, entered elementary school, and then learned to read and write.
Judging from the situation in previous years, although the several works of gt animation company last year, although they cannot make big profits, at least they can make small profits, which is enough for him to buy an extra small property in Tokyo, Japan.
It's a pity. Due to dissatisfaction with the salary of the company's employees, the change in the market trend, the surge in the same type of animation works produced by their company, and the fault of his gambling, the company suffered huge losses last year.
It was delayed until September of this year, although two animations were reluctantly produced in an attempt to reverse the situation of operating losses. However, how can the works produced by employees with grievances be good? It's not an excellent animation in itself, and the production is bad. Even Xiaobai's two-dimensional, they call their company's work hot, and one of the animations is also rated as the third in the Japanese island's annual garbage animation list.
In itself, it is just an ordinary animation company in the Tokyo area. This time it suffered losses one after another, which made this company precarious, and the whole company was fluctuating from top to bottom.
Therefore, Takeda Yang thought about it one by one, and thought of retreating in his heart.
The gt animation company he founded, although the scale is average, but generally speaking, there are still some talents under it. Although the company has never produced any popular animations and made a lot of money, it does not owe the bank a lot in general. Ass debt.
If you retire now, sell the company in a package, including equipment, personnel, assets, etc. At least 30 million Takeda Yoichi thinks it is no problem.
If it drags on and produces one or two loss-making animations one after another, the company’s finances will be dragged down, and all the people under its control will run away. After the company has become a shell company, it will be difficult to sell it again. An old man, instead of taking money to continue fighting, he felt that it seemed more attractive to him to retire with money like this.
So after coming up with this idea, he not only commissioned a special agency to help him find people who are willing to take over, but also his friends in the industry, he also asked them to help him spread the news to those who are "powerful", and he is optimistic The animation industry, those who want to enter the game.
But two consecutive months passed, and there was not a single buyer, which also made him panic. After all, the people under his command had to be paid according to their salaries. If the time dragged on, the loss would be huge.
And today. Just when he was sighing about this matter. His friend in the circle, the owner of a company specializing in animation outsourcing, Junpei Oba brought him good news. Someone seems to be interested in his company.
At the appointed time, Takeda Yoichi saw the so-called buyer when he came to the box of a high-end hotel.
A handsome boy in his twenties, although he felt vaguely familiar, the old man thought about it carefully, and really didn't think of anything.
Moreover, the young man was accompanied by two stunning-looking women and a man in his thirties with sharp eyes. Besides, there were obviously a large group of professional business people sitting next to them, probably the asset appraisers hired by the other party, holding Various equipment, computers and documents kept reporting information to the young man in the middle.
For this meal, Takeda Yangichi was stunned.
He communicated with the young man for two full hours, and the other party didn't even frown at his offer of 60 million Dragon National Coins.
Taketian Yang knew in his heart that it was obvious that the other party was not bluffing. This young man really didn't take these tens of millions in his eyes.
Could it be a big fat sheep? The kind of second-generation rich who don't know anything come into the circle to mess around?
The young man is naturally Chu Yu. Since he doesn't understand it, he will hire a professional team to carry out the acquisition business. Anyway, he only needs to make a decision after knowing whether these companies meet his conditions.
For a week in a row, Chu Yu brought a large group of people to meet the bosses of five animation companies who were interested in selling their own animation companies.
However, it is obvious that the three companies have been rejected. For those three companies, the copyright of some of the past works is quite valuable. If Chu Yu wants to acquire it, he must spend a lot of money.
It was useless for him to take those things, and he didn't like them. Naturally, he didn't consider them. As for the gt animation production company and the two small companies of Dongzheng animation production, they entered the eyes of Chu Yu.
They are all small companies with less than 100 employees. They are all companies that started out as outsourcing companies and then failed due to poor management.
Both of them, although small, have a complete industrial chain. From the establishment of the project to the release, launch, and profit of animation works, the company has people who are familiar with the business, and even if some departments do not, some non-core businesses are in Tokyo. It is not too simple to find an outsourcing company.
As long as the acquisition is made, some bloated relationship households are cut off, and some capable people are recruited, the ruthless animation production factory will be able to start soon.
However, Chu Yu would definitely not be willing to take advantage of these two companies' bids.
But time is money. In order to save time, Chu Yu doesn't mind spending a little more money to go out. After all, he is now in Japan every month, and the income of his past works will not be less than tens of millions. He wastes too much time on this. , not worth the loss.
Therefore, when it was less than a week, through relationships and various means, the boss of GT company, Takeda Yang, heard about the psychological limit of the boss of the competitor company Dongzheng Animation, and offered a lower price of 1 million, 3,300 The price of one million, with tears in his eyes on the surface, is actually a joy in his heart, after he sold this company that he had conceived for more than 20 years to Chu Yu.
In mid-September, one month after Chu Yu came to Japan, he was a well-known cartoonist in the Dragon Kingdom, and the owner of a well-known animation studio became the owner of this small animation company that has been established for more than 20 years.
And then Chu Yu's goal is very obvious.
He procrastinates in life, but at work. He is impatient.
The eyes are very obvious, and it is aimed at January next year.
