Chapter 273: Gundam seed
Ninghai, Phoenix Building.
Lin Mingzhe received a call from the chairman's office and hurriedly ran over.
"Chairman? Teacher He Xi has news?"
As soon as he entered the door, he asked loudly, but saw Xu Jing sitting on the sofa without any joy on his face. Lin Mingzhe felt a sudden heart: "What's wrong, Chairman? Is this fake news?"
"No, the news is true."
Xu Jing shook his head and sighed: "That boy appeared in Jidong. He wants to buy an animation company. You can bring a few people to help him tomorrow."
Such a big financial change, of course, Lin Mingzhe, the financial director, needs to be responsible.
"Buy an animation company in Jidong?"
Lin Mingzhe's expression immediately changed. He knew why Xu Jing was unhappy. Phoenix Company decided to move its main business to Su Hua half a year ago, but due to He Xi's departure, Su Hua's situation is still not up or down.
Now He Xi finally appeared, but he didn't go back to Ninghai, and even Su Hua didn't go. Instead, he started an animation company in the Jidong District, which of course would make Xu Jing unhappy.
But in fact, no one can stop He Xi's behavior now. Although he went on a trip half a year ago, 60% of the shares of Phoenix Company still transitioned to Meng Huo's name through Li Qin. It can be said that Phoenix Company is now the company where He Xi takes the initiative.
Although Xu Jing is still responsible for management, he has no initiative in the strategy of such a general policy.
"Chairman, why don't you persuade Teacher He Xi!"
However, although Xu Jing did not take the initiative, Lin Mingzhe knew that the relationship between the two old and the young was very good. Logically speaking, if Xu Jing spoke to He Xi, He Xi would have given up this kind of action.
"I……"
Xu Jing was speechless and he wanted to persuade him, but now he is different from the past. Alice told him the matter. The reason why He Xi left was because of his daughter, how could Xu Jing be so shameless to persuade him?
He felt guilty and now he thought the reason why he didn't care about coming back was because he didn't want to see their father and daughter.
"Okay, Jidong is Jidong. He will always come back when he gets tired of playing." Xu Jing sighed: "He said he wanted to make a Gundam animation. Take the opportunity to open the market there. Jidong District is also a very large market. If it is done well, it would be wise."
"Mingzhe, you'll be here soon tomorrow."
Although the Far East District has a character named District, it has a population of hundreds of millions there. The market prospects are also very broad. Because it is located overseas and has a long distance, both Phoenix and Zhongxia have not been developed, but it is a matter of time sooner or later. There is no harm in getting earlier, and Meng Huo's actions are not willful.
"I understand." Lin Mingzhe nodded: "Then I'll go down and prepare immediately."
This matter is complicated and time is in a hurry. He needs to prepare some documents.
"Wait, there is one more thing." Xu Jing stopped him before he left: "This time you don't want to acquire it in the name of Phoenix Company. Mantiantang in the Far East District is quite tangled. If it is revealed that it is us, that boy Meng Huo will encounter difficulties."
He said: "You can help Meng Huo hide his identity. This way, the paradise will not be too targeted at him."
Xu Jing thought very far-reachingly, and Meng Huo wanted to have a surprise in the extreme east. The best way was to not expose it. Man Tiantang had a strong guiding force on the media. If he could hide it for a while and then expose the phoenix when the animation was broadcast, then Man Tiantang would have nothing to say.
However, Lin Mingzhe frowned slightly: "This is very difficult..."
He said: "Mantiantang has a wide connection in the Far East, and we can't hide it from them."
"I can't hide anything. I will ask Huamei Company for help." Xu Jing snorted coldly: "Let Huamei help Meng Huo prepare a flawless identity, and you can hand over the animation company to him."
Huamei Bookstore has developed rapidly in the past six months and its power has almost doubled. Xu Jing saw that Huamei's new owner is a very powerful capital group, making it easy for those capitalists to prepare an identity.
Moreover, Huamei and Phoenix Company have a close cooperation. When they moved Su Hua, Huamei was very active in helping. Although Xu Jing didn't understand why Huamei valued them so much, Huamei would definitely help to help He Xi prepare a new identity.
"This is..."
Lin Mingzhe nodded, and he was also surprised by Huamei's rapid expansion: "But Chairman, the biggest problem is not this... Teacher He Xi wants to make Gundam animation, and this matter cannot be hidden..."
He paused and said, "The whole of China knows that Gundam is the subject of our Phoenix Company, and they will find that we are intervening."
Gundam comics are now a subject held by Phoenix Company, so where does Gundam appear? Apart from various pirated comics, they are authorized by Phoenix Company.
"Don't worry about this. I'll ask Ye Xiong to hold a press conference tonight. In the future, Gundam and Magic Girl will release their names and use them, and other companies will also use them."
Xu Jing replied that their company has occupied these two subjects for too long, but in fact the effect is not great. Now cartoonists in other companies are drawing similar content, but they have given various names and there are subtle differences in settings.
If this continues, the name "Gundam" will be replaced by other pirated names such as "Mobile Suit" and "Super Robot". It is better to open it as soon as possible and let others use this name, so as to determine the authority of Phoenix Company.
"Did Teacher He Xi agree?"
Lin Mingzhe asked in surprise.
"He told me before that he proposed these two topics to use other people to explore the market, the more the better." Xu Jing smiled: "So he doesn't mind, it's just that I'm reluctant to let it go, so I've been suppressing it for so long."
"This time he wants to make a new animation, so I will help him add a fire. If the Gundam theme becomes more... it will be beneficial for his animation."
After he said this, Lin Mingzhe felt much more at ease. If the right to use the "Gundam" was opened, it would bring a wave. All of China could use this name to make comics and animations. When the branch in the Far East District was produced, Mantian would not have any doubts.
Maybe Mantian Tang would even use this name itself - after all, Gundam is still the most recognized name now.
"Okay, I'll go down right away."
Lin Mingzhe suddenly became full of fighting spirit, said goodbye to Xu Jing, and turned around.
This is He Xi's first appearance in half a year. Although he doesn't know what kind of animation he will make, based on his previous experience, Lin Mingzhe and Xu Jing are full of confidence.
This new animation can definitely leverage the animation of the extreme east region - or it can re-turn the Chinese comics industry's attention to He Xi.
Shinjuku District
"How is this place, Teacher He Xi?"
After dinner, Takashima Eiji took Meng Huo to a high-end apartment.
"The furniture is intact, the security is tight, and the video surveillance outside is full. The residents of the entire building are at least white-collar workers. The monthly rent is 50,000 Chinese coins, which is very close to our company."
While introducing, he took Meng Huo to see the suite, three bedrooms and two living rooms, and independent bathrooms. The decoration was gorgeous, with all the elegant furniture, and some of the specialties of the Far East region.
"Yes, this house is beautiful."
Meng Huo opened the floor-to-ceiling windows on the balcony and looked outside. There was a brightly lit scene around the building, and the night view of the city was fully displayed. This is a prosperous area, no wonder the monthly rent was so expensive.
But Meng Huo has to work here for a while. This building can provide him with the greatest security and privacy protection. Even when entering and exiting, it requires fingerprints and voiceprints to be identified, which is very safe.
"I won't stop drawing comics here..."
He has been bumping around the place, and unexpected situations often hinder Meng Huo's paintings, but now he finds this apartment and lives in, he can update the comics on time and steadily.
"Okay, let's just go here."
Meng Huo turned around and said, he didn't want to continue choosing.
"That's good..." Eiji Takashima breathed a sigh of relief: "Then I'll rent this place for you first... Teacher He Xi, how long do you plan to rent it?"
Meng Huo thought for a while: "Let's rent for half a year first..."
Half a year should be enough to make the animation, maybe earlier. If you rent it short, you are afraid of accidents, and if you are long, it is unnecessary. Half a year is just right.
"no problem."
Eiji Takashima walked out, and an administrator was waiting at the door. After saying a few words, the two left to go through the procedures. Meng Huo did not bring any money, so he asked Eiji Takashima to help pay.
However, after confirming his identity, this amount of cash does not have any pressure on Eiji Takashima. After the company is acquired tomorrow, their money will be recovered.
The price of Meng Huo's acquisition of Sakura Company was very reasonable and he did not take the opportunity to lower it, which made the Takashima family full of gratitude. Moreover, the company's new president has changed, but the Takashima couple's rights are under Meng Huo. When he was not in the East, the couple was the full manager of the company.
This kind of treatment is divided into two extremes with the treatment given by Mantiantang. The losses of the Takashima family were reduced to a minimum, so they naturally felt grateful to Meng Huo.
Of course, in Meng Huo's eyes, this is a very normal thing. He has few people he knows in Jidong. Since the Takashima couple can set up such a company, their abilities can be trusted.
As for the acquisition price, it is even more of a trivial matter. Phoenix's animation department also needs to expand, and after the animation is launched, the money can be repaid several times at once.
Meng Huo waited in the room for a while, and Eiji Takashima came back happily with a card.
"Teacher He Xi, this is a door card. You can use this card to authenticate and enter fingerprints." He handed the card to Meng Huo and asked carefully: "Will Phoenix Company send someone tomorrow?"
"Yeah." Meng Huo flipped through the cards and smiled, "If you are worried that I will run away, you can stay here tonight."
"No, no...how can it be!"
Eiji Takashima quickly shook his hand. He confirmed Meng Huo's identity while eating, and now he has no doubts.
"Teacher He Xi, you sleep here with peace of mind. I'll pick you up tomorrow..." He smiled, then turned around and walked outside, but paused before going out, and then turned around and asked.
"By the way, I'll ask curiously, what's the name of the new animation?"
