MTL - My Animation Era-Chapter 15 Take advantage of me, I will take it!

  Chapter 15 Take advantage of me, I will take it!

   Mr. Du is not very old.

  According to him, Wanzhibao Toy Factory was founded by his grandfather in the 1980s, and it has been handed down to him for the third generation.

   "What are we going to do?"

   "Be a treasure in the palm of millions of children!"

  Mr. Du who said this sentence, with his advanced vision and extraordinary luck, single-handedly brought Wanzhibao Toys Company to the top.

  Unfortunately, the old man passed away.

  After losing a wise man at the helm, Wanzhibao Toy Company quickly went downhill, and the days were getting worse every year.

   Du Hao, who took over the family business from his father, has no idea about running a toy factory to revitalize his ancestral business. As a computer major, he is particularly interested in the film industry, and all he thinks about is how to make a movie.

  So, he wants to sell the toy factory.

"Why?"

  Gu Miao couldn't understand.

  It’s a good factory, and it’s still a family business, so what a pity to sell it like this?

   What's more, Wanzhibao Toy Factory's profitability is not bad after winning the plush doll authorization of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf".

  Why sell?

   "You still have the face to ask why!"

  Du Hao's exasperated voice came from the phone, and he said cursingly: "There is a fart in the future of making toys, but you copyright owners have taken all the heads away. What are you leaving to the toy factory? Leftovers!"

   "I won't play with you anymore!"

   "When I sell the toy factory and have the start-up capital, I will make movies. Do you understand sci-fi movies? The ones with billions of dollars at the box office..."

  Gu Miao was speechless.

   After a long time, it turned out that Xiao Du always felt that making toys would not make money, but making movies would have a future. He said that he wrote a script by himself, invested tens of millions at most, and the return could reach billions!

   Isn’t this much better than making toys?

  So he resolutely decided to sell the toy factory in exchange for start-up capital. Calling Gu Miao is also to inform him, lest when the partner changes, Gu Miao doesn't know yet.

   "Hey wait!"

  When Du Hao was about to hang up the phone, Gu Miao hurriedly asked, "Mr. Du, have you found a buyer yet?"

"not yet!"

   "Although the toy factory is profitable, the overall efficiency is not good. It is not so easy to find a suitable takeover..."

   "Then do you think I can be taken advantage of?"

  Du Hao: "???"

  Just now he was complaining on the phone about the downturn in the toy industry, and he, who was a cannibalistic copyright owner, was stunned when he heard this sentence.

  How fat four, this person?

  He complained so much about the miserable state of the toy industry on the phone, and said that the person who took over the offer was taken advantage of. Does this person understand human language?

Or…

   Before Du Hao could speak, Gu Miao took the initiative to explain: "Mr. Du, I admire you very much!"

  “The decline of domestic sci-fi movies, I can only watch Hollywood blockbusters run rampant. Whenever I think about this, I always feel aggrieved and have an urge to cry.”

   "Our Huaguo, when will we have a real sci-fi blockbuster?"

  Gu Miao was talking, as if her emotions were mobilized at once, and she said in a crying voice: "I want to do something, but I'm just an animation director, what can I do?"

   "Fortunately, you showed up!"

  "When you told me that you were going to sell your family business to make a domestic sci-fi blockbuster, you didn't know how excited I was."

   "Maybe, I can't be as great as you, willing to dedicate everything to the rise of domestic sci-fi movies, but at least I can contribute..."

   "I'm sure I'll take this fool!"

  Listen!

  How high is this consciousness!

  Although Gu Miao couldn't see Gu Miao's expression at this time through the mobile phone, it was not difficult for Du Hao to draw a conclusion through his voice.

  Gu Miao, like him, is a person who loves sci-fi movies deeply, breaks away from vulgar interests, and has an extremely noble and pure spirit.

  How can such a person cheat him?

"no!"

   "Brother Sanshui, I understand your desire to contribute to domestic science fiction. But you can't let you take advantage of this."

   Sanshui, your sister!

  The word reads "Miao"! Have you never read a book?

   Zhang Yu!

  Gu Miao rolled her eyes, suppressed her dissatisfaction and said, "Mr. Du, I've made up my mind, so you don't need to persuade me. Let's talk about how much the toy factory is worth."

  Du Hao is also a businessman.

  Persuasion failed, so he readily accepted the fact that Gu Miao wanted to acquire Wanzhibao Toys Company. When it came to the sale price, he did not budge.

  20 million, no discount!

  Including factory land, equipment, raw materials and dealer channel system, etc., all packaged, this quotation is not outrageous, and it can even be said to be "cheap".

   But the problem is...

  Du Hao does not accept any installment or share exchange offer, only cash. In his words, installment or share exchange, that is not the price.

"I will think about it."

  After hanging up the phone, Gu Miao fell into deep thought.

  For an animation company with "original IP", the benefits of acquiring a toy factory are obvious. Not to mention, the price is quite affordable.

  But this is a full 20 million!

  Although "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" became popular, Gu Miao successfully made a fortune by virtue of the peripheral derivatives licensing business. But the time of Pleasant Goat's fire was too short, and his income did not reach tens of millions.

   There are only more than 8 million.

   There is still at least 12 million short of this gap. This money was placed two months ago, Gu Miao didn't even dare to think about it.

   "I can only find a bank loan."

  Gu Miao is not worried that the bank will reject it. The profitability of Wolf Castle Studio and the popularity of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" are not high-quality customers?

   As for the interest?

  With the copyright of Pleasant Goat peripherals in hand, as long as Wanzhibao Toy Company is won, at most half a year, or even two or three months, will be able to earn back all the principal with interest.

  The only regret might be…

   After finally saving a sum of money, I was planning to buy a house in Jiangchuan, take my parents to live with me, and buy a luxury car to commute to and from get off work. The plan is probably going to fail.

  The luxury car is gone!

  If the acquisition is successful, Gu Miao, whose wallet has been emptied, may not even be able to afford a taxi, so she can only ride a bicycle.

   "Suffering will eventually pass!"

   Clenching her fists, Gu Miao cheered herself up and said, "I ride a bicycle to work now, just to make the children have no money to take the bus to school..."

  Hundreds of causes must bear fruit, the retribution of the children is me!

  Come on, Aoli!

  After some self-brainwashing and intoxication, Gu Miao quickly contacted the major banks in Jiangchuan.

  In order to better persuade them to agree to the loan plan, he also specially prepared a sales statistics table of "Pleasant Goat" peripheral derivatives.

   Unsurprisingly, the bank was conquered.

  Let's not talk about anything else...

   Before seeing this sales statistics, who would believe that the humble "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" derivative schoolbags sold more than 10,000 in Jiangchuan alone during the fall semester?
