"Why did you suddenly think of graduating early?"

After the tests at the two schools ended that day, Alice asked Meng Huo on the way back. She was surprised to see him applying to graduate early from both Yenching University and the Conservatory of Music.

"It's not a sudden thought." Meng Huo shook his head: "I have had this idea for a long time. Of course, it's better to graduate early."

Although college studies are not important to him, it is also a matter that must be solved. It is not a solution to drag on it. Meng Huo wants to solve this problem earlier and to alleviate future troubles. Then speeding up graduation is an inevitable idea.

"But that happens..." Alice smiled and said, "You must pass all their theoretical course exams this semester. The Conservatory of Music mainly includes sophomore and junior courses, but the School of Medicine of Yenching University has a five-year course. You have to spend half a year passing other people's three-year assessments... Wouldn't it be too much pressure?"

Even though she was very confident in Meng Huo's intelligence, Alice couldn't help but doubt it. If Su Hua University was added, Meng Huo would have to complete three schools within half a year, and other students had several years of course assessment, which was not an easy task.

The university courses are not simpler than those in high school, and they are more professional and have a wider range of coverage. Can Meng Huo be confident that he can achieve his goals?

"The pressure is not too much." Meng Huo gave a positive answer. He felt that the half-year deadline was just right, and it seemed tense. He also had a lot of work to do, but Phoenix Company was about to take root in Yanjing, so it would be easier for him to take exams in the future than in the past.

"I feel relieved if you are so confident."

Alice secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She believed that Meng Huo would not joke about such things, but he actually said that the pressure was not too high. That must be sufficiently sure.

That night, while the two were having a meal, another unexpected news came.

"...I understand..." Alice answered the phone in front of Meng Huo. When she received the unexpected news, she was surprised and happy. She immediately said to Meng Huo: "Dongfangxing reduced the acquisition price to 2.5 million!"

Meng Huo was stunned: "What's going on?"

"Our poaching was exposed," Alice put down her cell phone and said, "They were very alert. My people were discovered by them as soon as they went to contact some painters... but they seemed to be very unconfident, but they were a little panicked."

This situation was somewhat beyond Alice's expectations. She originally thought that after the poaching was exposed, Dongfangxing would counterattack and strictly control the artists' departure. Unexpectedly, they changed their attitude and took the initiative to lower the acquisition price.

"Two million and five million, the decline is really big..." Meng Huo took a bite of the meal and said slowly: "Why are they so unconfident? Do you expect we will definitely succeed?"

Alice nodded and smiled, "Just like we are paying attention to them, they must be paying attention to our actions in Yanjing. Perhaps the news of the movie "The Magician of the Early Century" has reached their ears. If they know that the movie is the theatrical version of "Detective Conan", they can do nothing..."

The news about the movie "The Magician of the Early Century" will be announced in a few days, but they did not deliberately conceal it. Dongfangxing realized that the simple information of this movie would not be difficult - the directors knew that Meng Huo wanted to poach Dongfangxing, and perhaps he would take the initiative to leak the movie information to Dongfangxing.

This movie is equivalent to a bomb for Oriental Star. Everyone understands the status of "Detective Conan" in the Chinese animation industry and its influence. Of course, the theatrical movies derived from it will become a sensational work.

Of course, this is unparalleled for painters. Dongfangxing also understands that it is difficult for them to retain their own painters with the movie "The Magician of the Early Century". Whether it is income or future development, Dongfangxing is not as guaranteed as Phoenix Company.

"Although I can understand the reason why they change so quickly..." Meng Huo frowned: "But it makes sense. Even if he knows that he can't keep the painters, Dongfang Xing has no reason to lower his figure in a moment, right?"

He said to Alice: "Don't they increase the cost of the painters' job-changing costs and take the opportunity to make another profit? Even if the painters leave almost the same, will their company be kept?"

Meng Huo did not think that the shareholders of Dongfangxing could not imagine such a possibility, which would increase the default cost of the artists. It would be absolutely fine for them to get more than one million in this incident. There is no need to sell the company, which is so cost-effective!

"All the painters have left. Is the company still useful to stay?" Alice said funny: "You really don't understand the current market. The competition in the animation industry in Yanjing is also fierce. The supply of painters is in short supply. Now they are running towards good companies. Once the painters' group of Dongfangxing shrinks, it will be very difficult for them to recover."

"In fact, as long as we poach half of the artists of Dongfangxing, the company of Dongfangxing will immediately become a burden. Not only will it not be profitable, it will suck blood from shareholders - do you think they choose to lower the acquisition price, or are they smart enough to hold on?"

Meng Huo understood, and said that if the painters were so easy to recruit, he wouldn't have to poach the Dongfangxing now.

Thinking of this, although several shareholders of Dongfangxing were a little greedy, they were very conscious of the times. They immediately put down their figure after finding that the situation was not good. This is something that ordinary people find difficult to do.

"It seems that it's not accidental that they can maintain such an excellent group of painters..." Meng Huo nodded, and he looked at Dongfangxing with some admiration.

"So what should I do now?" Alice asked: "Will we buy it directly? Or continue to poach it? I think the price can be lower. In a while, maybe it will be less than two million."

The value of Oriental Star is only about two million. If Phoenix Company continues to put pressure on them, of course they still have a lot of room for price reduction.

But Meng Huo thought about it and felt that it would be difficult to drag on it. Some past experience told him that being too greedy for cheap will eventually be hurt. Although Dongfangxing is at a disadvantage, it is too tight to ensure that they will not break through from other directions - such as Zhongxia Company.

"Two.2 million..." Meng Huo made a decision: "I will return to Ninghai tomorrow night. If you ask Dongfangxing to notify you, you can make a deal if it is 2.2 million. There is no need to negotiate the price higher than this."

Two million and two million are not a loss for Dongfangxing. Meng Huo believes that they will make the right choice before he leaves - and the development of things is indeed as he expected. (To be continued...)
