What happens to the future when humanity loses its imagination?
That slogan created a sensation during the summer of 1984.
Back then, computers couldn't support Chinese input and co...
Secretary Liu was well aware of the actual situation at the Shanghai Animation Film Studio, and the severity of the situation far exceeded Zhao Ye's imagination.
The government doesn't want to get rid of this burden, but who will take it on and who is capable of doing so are both troublesome issues.
Zhao Ye has brought glory to the country through technological innovation and has promoted national development. He is a role model for young people across the country. At the same time, he has also helped the country generate foreign exchange.
Therefore, it is likely that there will be relatively little resistance for him to take over the Shanghai Animation Film Studio. Not only will the municipal party committee agree, but the workers of the Shanghai Animation Film Studio will also agree.
Liu Hai immediately said that the matter was not a big problem and told Zhao Ye to wait for news later, and that he would help persuade the municipal government and the Shanghai Animation Film Studio.
Seeing this, Zhao Ye immediately returned the favor, saying, "Secretary Liu, Wujiang Company is developing a game console, and I'm confident that this game console will be a global bestseller. I think Shanghai has a better investment environment, so I plan to locate the production factory for the game console and game cartridges in Shanghai!"
Upon hearing this, Secretary Liu Hai beamed with joy. "Great! Welcome Wujiang Company to invest and build a factory in Shanghai. The municipal government will definitely give you the best preferential policies! In addition, I will have someone prepare a piece of land in Puxi to facilitate your factory construction!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Ye quickly waved his hand and said, "Secretary Liu, land is scarce in Puxi. The land area I need to build my factory is quite large, so there's no need to put the factory in Puxi. In my opinion, it's better to put the factory in Pudong."
Upon hearing this, Secretary Liu looked astonished: "Pudong is still undeveloped and very backward. You really want to put the factory there?"
There's a saying among Shanghai residents these days: "I'd rather have a bed in Puxi than a house in Pudong!"
Zhao Ye thought that if the factory were located in Puxi, the land available from the government would be relatively small.
If it were in Pudong, I could acquire a large area of land myself.
In the future, once these factories are demolished and replaced with high-rise buildings, they will surely make a fortune.
Rather than letting other real estate developers make money, it's better to make it ourselves.
In any case, the money I earn is for the purpose of developing high technology.
Once the matter was settled, Zhao Ye quickly took his leave of Secretary Liu.
While he was waiting at home, Secretary Liu Hai acted swiftly.
He first had someone investigate how big the game console market was, and found that Nintendo was making a fortune from the FC and games. Secretary Liu was shocked, and Wujiang Company's game console factory and game cartridge factory immediately caught his attention.
After organizing the materials, he brought up the news that Wujiang Company was planning to invest in building a factory in Shanghai and the details of the global game market at the government meeting. This immediately surprised everyone present.
Then Secretary Liu said that Zhao Ye wanted to buy the Shanghai Animation Film Studio.
As soon as he finished speaking, an official immediately declared loudly, "As long as Zhao Ye places the production factory for game consoles and game cartridges in Shanghai, we can sell the Shanghai Animation Film Studio to Wujiang Company at a low price!"
I second that!
I second that!
"..."
At the meeting, all the votes were in favor of the proposal.
The Shanghai Animation Film Studio was operating at a loss, so selling it to Wujiang Company was a good solution. Domestically, Wujiang Company was probably the only one capable of sustaining the studio.
The leaders reached a consensus and immediately sent someone to notify Gong Jianian, the secretary of the Shanghai Animation Film Studio, and Xu Xiangming, the director of the studio.
Upon hearing the news, Gong Jianian and Xu Xiangming exchanged glances, their expressions a mixture of dejection and a hint of relief.
"The Shanghai Animation Film Studio is ultimately going to be sold, but fortunately, the company preparing to buy it is Wujiang Group!" Gong Jianian said.
Xu Xiangming nodded and said, "Yes, Wujiang Company is very powerful and has the funds to support our studio to continue creating animated films!"
The two left the office and slowly walked towards the broadcasting room.
A short while later, the factory director, Xu Xiangming, announced from the broadcasting room that everyone in the film studio should gather in the square, as he had something important to announce.
...
Zhao Ye soon received a call from Secretary Liu Hai.
"Mr. Zhao, congratulations! The municipal government has voted and unanimously agreed to sell the Shanghai Animation Film Studio to you."
"Great! What was the acquisition price for the Shanghai Animation Film Studio?"
"20 million RMB, but the municipal government also has requirements, namely that you must take over all the people in the studio, properly arrange their work, and not lay off people arbitrarily. Of course, if an employee's work attitude is not right, or if the studio suffers losses, your company will naturally have a suitable reason to lay them off."
Shanghai Animation Film Studio is the largest animation film studio in China and one of the oldest animation studios in the country. It covers an area of square meters and has animation, paper-cutting, administrative offices and puppet studios. It is the main base for producing animated films in China.
Zhao Ye felt he had made a huge profit by selling it for only 20 million RMB.
At that time, no one in China realized the importance of IP and didn't care about copyright at all, which is precisely what makes it the most valuable.
Since its founding in 1957, the Shanghai Animation Film Studio has created countless classic works.
The film library's content can be used to adapt animated films or live-action movies in the future, making it an invaluable treasure.
What is the most valuable thing in the 21st century? Talent. This theory is actually applicable to any era and dynasty.
The employees of the Shanghai Animation Film Studio are the talents of this era. The government is worried that Zhao Ye will lay off people. What a joke! How could that be? He even wants to call back all the employees who left before.
In addition, the Shanghai Animation Film Studio brand is also very valuable.
