Chapter 150: acquisition result
"Can it succeed?" Hiroyuki Yamaga stared at the phone in front of him and couldn\'t help but sigh.
"It shouldn\'t matter." Sadamoto Yoshiyuki raised his glasses: "According to the previous statement, the acquirer looks very rich. If it doesn\'t work, it\'s okay for us to ask for a little less, Anno, what do you think?"
"Well, according to my feeling..." Hideaki Anno hadn\'t finished speaking when the phone rang in front of him, and he immediately picked it up: "Is it the president? How\'s the situation?"
He is also very panicked!
As for this call, it was specially prepared before. Only people inside the company knew about it, and outsiders couldn\'t possibly know about it. The only person who can call at this time is their president, Toshio Okada.
"Hmm..." Toshio Okada on the other side of the phone was silent for a while and said, "The situation is a little unexpected..."
"What\'s wrong?" Sadamoto Yoshiyuki leaned over and quickly said to the phone: "Do they think this money is too much?"
"No, it\'s not a matter of money... Or, money seems to be a small problem now... Actually..."
…
"Most agreements are acceptable, so let me share my opinion." Kurokawa Kazumi closed the document and said, "First of all, in terms of price, I can give you an additional 500 million yen."
Toshio Okada almost spit out... It\'s okay to take the initiative to increase the money, it\'s so simple, he doesn\'t know what to say anymore.
It was the first time he heard that someone would take the initiative to increase the price without lowering the price.
"Then, as a price, of course I will have some requirements." Kurokawa Kazuya continued: "The purpose of acquiring you is simply to make animations, to produce high-level animations, so I have taken a fancy to you. After completing the acquisition , All animation production will be paid by me, and your salary will also be linked to the level of animation production. However, if I think it is not good or not good, you will have to redo it until I am satisfied. Take a look at this for a rough look.”
After Kurokawa and Ya finished speaking, they gestured to their lawyers.
The lawyer on the side, Mitsuko Yamazaki, immediately took out the prepared documents: "Please take a look."
"Yes..." Toshio Okada\'s heart was beating.
From his tone, he seemed to see a familiar face...
That was when they had just graduated, had not yet owed others money, and were fighting for their dreams.
But at that time they had no money, so they could only borrow money to realize their dreams.
But now... the person in front of him is different, judging by his tone, anyone with a lot of money is almost burned to death!
He was very envious of the face of "I lack everything except money". If only I had this much money... How wonderful it would be.
Then he opened the folder in front of him.
…
"First of all, the acquisition amount can rise to 2.5 billion."
"Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh——" Everyone in front of the phone was boiling for a moment.
"Long live the president!"
"Long live the president!"
"Ahem, calm down, it\'s not over yet!" Toshio Okada said with a sigh.
After about two minutes, the person on the other end of the phone fell silent. Even so, the people crowded in front of the phone were extremely excited and their faces were flushed.
"Then, regarding the requirements, first of all, we must have all of them, and none of them can be missing... So we don\'t have the idea of taking the money and leaving. Then, in terms of the cost of animation production...how much money do we want to burn? It doesn\'t matter how much money is burned, tens of billions or hundreds of billions..."
"Wait—" Anno Hideaki interrupted hastily: "That... did you say "ten thousand" as "billion"?"
"No, what I said is true." Toshio Okada said while his heart was beating violently: "It can be tens of billions, hundreds of billions...According to what he said, [Money can handle everything] not a problem】."
"Could it be that the government wants to buy us!" With so much money, they wondered if there was a country on the other side!
Before, the animation "Wang Li Cosmic Army" they produced cost a total of 800 million yen, which can be said to have exploded in painting, and it was still a theatrical version.
Now... I actually added two or three zeros after the 800 million...
All of a sudden they felt like they were dreaming.
"I don\'t know... But of course there are requirements, and it\'s not an endless waste of money. For example, according to his statement, no matter what others think of the animation, as long as he is not satisfied, he will redo it." Okada Dou Sifu continued: "Of course, this refers to the animation he wants to make. Besides this, we can also make the animation we want to do, and the cost of this part of the animation is 1 billion yen minus one episode. The money consumed by 25 minutes of animation, that is... the rest we can spend! But if an episode exceeds 1 billion, then there is nothing left. It is time to burn money and continue to burn, but we can\'t get the rest part."
"1 billion!" The call boiled again: "It\'s only 25 minutes! The most expensive animation we made, Wang Li Cosmic Army, only burned 800 million! That\'s more than 120 minutes! Up to now, at most It doesn’t make money, so who can say it’s not doing well! No matter how much money it burns, 500 million an episode is more than enough! Even if it maintains the standard of Wang Li’s Cosmic Army, 25 minutes of animation, 100 million can’t be burned Drop, 500 million is quite a lot! We can spend the rest as we like?"
Before they knew it, their outlook on money had gone bad, and they were thinking about how to pay back the hundreds of millions they owed.
Now I\'m thinking "it\'s only 800 million"...
"Well, according to the above statement, one-tenth of the remaining money is our salary, and nine-tenths can be spent on animation as long as it is used casually." Toshio Okada said: "I feel that the conditions Not bad, how about you?"
"Of course I agree!" There was a burst of noise before the phone call.
But all voices agreed, this kind of money rains in the world, and dreams can still be realized... Where can I find it!
"I don\'t know... I\'m dreaming." Anno Hideaki muttered to himself and grinned: "Oh! Why did you hit me!"
"I tell you I\'m not dreaming now." Hiroyuki Yamaga said and then smiled.
Not only him, everyone in front of the phone laughed.
Laugh out loud!
Today seems to be the happiest day ever.
Listening to the laughter on the other side of the phone, Toshio Okada also laughed, and he also felt good. In this way, it will be successful... and the burden will be lifted from him.
The dream can still move forward, and the small canoe has been replaced by a large ship all of a sudden.
This feeling... so good.
"No, you can\'t relax until you sign the contract... You can\'t be extremely happy to cause sadness, and you can\'t be extremely happy to cause sadness..."
