On February 20, Meng Huo arrived in Yanjing for the acquisition.

Alice was waiting for him at the exit of the station early. She was dressed in secluded, with a hat and glasses, but Meng Huo was still recognized at first sight. But when he walked towards her, Alice was still very vigilant at the situation around him, which made Meng Huo very surprised.

"What’s wrong with you?"

"Chen Jie didn't come with you, right?" Alice didn't see Chen Jie's figure, but she was still a little nervous: "You won't hide her, are you?"

"Don't worry..." Meng Huo laughed. Alice was too careful. No wonder she hadn't been to Su Hua once after working for so long. It turned out that she was worried that Chen Jie was still on Comic Island: "She didn't come here and wouldn't catch you."

Alice then breathed a sigh of relief. After a year, she was not much vigilant about Chen Jie.

"Let's go, I'm ready." She took Meng Huo out of the station and then got into the car to the animation company. On the way, Alice told Meng Huo some specific situations of the company she chose.

In fact, the main content is to report the employee quality of the animation company.

"Although the animations they produced in recent years are not very famous, the picture has a very high evaluation." Ai≥Liss explained: "You have such high requirements for acquiring the company, and I can only find this one, and there is no suitable one in other places."

Meng Huo's request for acquiring an animation company is of course not small. What he wants most is the company in Suhua City, which is close enough, but Suhua does not have such a company. If there were any, he would have acquired it before the production of "Clannad". There would be no need to squeeze out artists from other departments.

There are many animation companies in Ninghai. However, all the famous ones were acquired by Zhongxia Company. The excellent painters also jumped over. It can be said that seven of the ten painters in Ninghai were taken away by Zhongxia Company, and the rest were basically in Phoenix Company.

Alice had no choice. After screening several locations, she found a suitable target in Yanjing.

"Yanjing is not far away," she said: "The artist qualities of this animation company can meet your needs - and those directors also like it very much. They have been working in Yanjing and want to stay!"

Meng Huo's requirements for location are different from those of the directors, and of course he wants to work in Suhua more. But under the condition that he cannot meet this, Alice believes that the most suitable solution is undoubtedly to establish a new company in Yanjing.

This is also the reason why Meng Huo came to Yanjing to inspect the animation company. If the location was not good for the directors, he would not care about it.

"Have those directors gone to watch it?" Meng Huo asked.

"No." Alice shook her head: "They said they would wait until you read it, but you didn't give a conclusion. It would be useless for them to read it - after all, to set up a new company, it's important to depend on your opinion."

Meng Huo nodded slightly: "This company is asking for a price of three million?"

"Well, yes... they said they would sell it only after three million." Alice was a little angry: "We evaluated that company's value was no more than two million, and they made a profit for two million... They actually raised three million with us. This was simply a robbery!"

Three million is a drop in the bucket for Phoenix Company. But even so, they cannot do a loss-making business. That is something that only fools will do - Meng Huo came here this time to review whether the company is worth three million.

After half an hour's drive, the two arrived at the door of the company.

The company's door sign is "Oriental Star", and it has a three-story office building on the Third Ring Road of Yanjing. If this building is included in the company's assets, three million will be worth it. Unfortunately, this building is just a rented building.

A middle-aged man received Meng Huo and the other two. He was the general manager of the company and was particularly enthusiastic about Meng Huo. Meng Huo was also unexpectedly welcomed in the company. Every employee was very happy. During the inspection, many people even asked Meng Huo for signature.

"Strange... they don't seem to be people who would object to the acquisition?" Meng Huo thought so. Dongfangxing's situation was very similar to that of ordinary animation companies. If he knew that Phoenix wanted to acquire it, most animation companies would be excited, and this is no exception.

From the employee perspective, there should be no problem with their acquisition of Oriental Star, so the problem can only lie with the management...

"Teacher He Xi, how about it?" Just as Meng Huo was thinking about it, during the break, the man asked nervously: "The conditions in our company are not bad, right? The painters have very solid foundations, and everyone is experienced old painters."

Meng Huo saw this. The average age of these painters is almost thirty years old at first glance, and they should have been in this industry for a long time. Moreover, Meng Huo watched the work of some painters on the spot. Their painting skills cannot be said to be particularly excellent, but they are also very profound.

Moreover, the most important thing for an animation company is not the painting skills of individual painters, but the overall quality. The overall quality of this animation company is enough to meet Meng Huo's requirements. If these painters can make full use of them, he can make quite perfect animation movies.

"The quality is good..." Meng Huo pondered: "Do you want three million?" Although three million was a bit of a loss, after seeing the situation, Meng Huo felt that it was acceptable. The loss could be made up for a movie.

"No, that... it's three million and two million now..." However, the man hesitated for a while and actually said a higher price.

"What? Three.2 million?" Alice was shocked and then furious: "Do you think your company is worth three.2 million?"

The man nodded slightly awkwardly, Meng Huo frowned, and he noticed something wrong with the man: "Who made this offer? It shouldn't be your idea alone, right?"

"Speaking of this, you are a partner system, right?" Alice calmed down and laughed: "Your partners want to kill us?"

The most troublesome thing about this company is that it is a partnership company with equity in the hands of four people, and the four people have different requirements for acquisitions, so they cannot form a unified view. Because the price will be so high to meet the requirements of four people at the same time.

"To be honest, I think the price is a bit high, too..." The man said after being embarrassed, "But this is what everyone means... But for your Phoenix Company, this should not be considered money, right?"

He looked at Meng Huo, and his eyes flashed: "Besides, Teacher He Xi actually came here in person in his busy schedule, that means you should value us very much, right..."

Meng Huo glanced at the man with some surprise. He began to feel that he was a little timid. Now he found that there was a sense of greed and cunning in the man's eyes that were inconsistent with his appearance. The price of 3.2 million yuan may not be the idea of ​​other partners.

"..." Meng Huo took a sip of tea, then put down the teacup: "I'll go back and think about it."

The man was stunned and then said, "Teacher He Xi, let's not hide it from it. Our shareholders' opinions are in conflict. There are two people who don't want to sell... If you want to acquire Dongfangxing, it will be better to acquire now, otherwise it may be more troublesome next time..."

His subtext hints at the possibility of a price increase next time.

Meng Huo was unhappy and said nothing, leaving with Alice - but Alice was even more angry than him. After getting in the car, he said, "Let's change your partner. They offer more prices every time and don't let them take advantage of it."

"It's not so easy... They've eaten us to death."

Meng Huo shook his head. A small company dared to show off its power in front of Phoenix. No matter how they thought, it was wrong. The reason why they dared to do this must be because they understood the urgency of Phoenix and there was no more suitable animation company around them.

"What should we do now?" Alice sighed, then her face turned cold: "Do you want to take a final solution?"

Meng Huo nodded: "That's all we can do."

He secretly lamented the unwiseness of Dongfangxing. They made one mistake in their calculations. Phoenix Company does not need to acquire Dongfangxing's company - in fact, they only have employees.

In that company just now, Meng Huo had already seen the excitement and excitement of the painters. These painters obviously wanted the company to be acquired by Phoenix Company, or in other words, they would definitely be happy to join Phoenix.

What Meng Huo needs is these painters, not other contents that Dongfangxing has. He lacks nothing, but the painters. The price of digging out these painters will not exceed three million. Since Dongfangxing lion has spoken out, what else can he keep?

"Tonight, you invite the directors to dinner, and we set up a company ourselves." Meng Huo said: "How confident are you to dig up the artist of Dongfangxing?"

"It's hard to pull them all up, but 80% should be fine." Alice had already made the corresponding preparations and immediately replied: "Even if Dongfangxing doesn't allow them to resign, we force them to come over and advance the liquidated damages, the total amount will not exceed two million."

The breach of contract fee is less than Meng Huo imagined. He nodded: "It's okay if you don't need to pull it all. It's successful when you reach 50% of the time. The remaining part of the painters are vacant. We can use the first movie to attract painters from the whole country."

"Have you written the script for the first movie?" Alice was a little excited. This was good news. Nothing could attract artists to join more than an excellent script from He Xi.

"Well, I'm ready." Meng Huo nodded. He brought the script here. He originally planned to show it to the directors. It would not be announced so quickly for the time being. However, now it seems that it would be better to announce the new movie to the outside in advance.

This movie does not require details to be released. As long as the name is announced, it can attract people's attention. There will definitely be many artists willing to join the production. (To be continued...)
