Chapter 478

It was a bright morning, and Chu Yu was sleeping late when Huang Ming suddenly called.

In general, Huang Ming would never call him that morning if he had something to do. He would discuss with Chu Yu in advance if he had anything, so there must be something urgent.

Chu Yu got up and dressed while answering the phone.

"Hey, Brother Huang, what's the matter?"

"The animation studio needs you to come, just now!" Huang Ming's voice was a little serious.

Hearing this, Chu Yu froze in his heart. Having been with him for a long time, Huang Ming's tone made Chu Yu feel that it was not something wrong with the animation production, but something else, something troublesome.

"Okay, I'll be right over here!"

It took three minutes to wash his face and gargle, and Chu Yu finished tidying up swiftly.

Then I drove straight to the animation studio.

As soon as they entered, everyone in the studio was normally dealing with their animation production. After seeing Chu Yu coming, everyone asked questions.

After Chu Yu nodded, he rushed directly into Huang Ming's office.

As soon as he entered, Chu Yu's eyes froze. In addition to Huang Ming, there were three people, two men and one woman.

One of the women, wearing a professional OL suit and a pair of golden eyes, has a high appearance and a capable and shrewd look.

The other man was burly, at least 1.9 meters tall, wearing a suit, and Chu Yu knew at a glance that he was definitely a bodyguard.

The two of them were standing around a man. Although there were a lot of extra chairs in the room, neither of them were seated!

The man looked about thirty years old and looked quite handsome, and he kept looking at him after Chu Yu entered the door.

"The Lord is finally here, it's a good wait!"

Chu Yu looked at Huang Ming with a puzzled expression.

Huang Ming's expression was helpless, and his eyes revealed apology.

"Let me introduce, Brother Chu, this is the chairman of Tianxing Animation Company, Yin Tian!" Huang Ming got up, took a deep breath and said.

Tianxing animation?

Chu Yu suddenly remembered, isn't this the company that Huang Ming said at the beginning, the company that has always been interested in his animation studio and wanted to acquire the studio?

"Hello, my name is Yin Tian!" Yin Tian got up and stretched out his hand towards Chu Yu.

"Hello, Chu Yu!" Chu Yu shook hands with him.

Chu Yu also understood what the situation was in today's battle.

He never imagined that the chairman of an animation company with a market value of tens of billions would come here in person.

"Looking at Chu Yu, you seem surprised by my arrival, but there is no confusion in your eyes. I'm afraid you already know what I'm here for!" Yin Tian looked at Chu Yu with a smile on his face.

Chu Yu was silent for a few seconds before finally speaking.

"I heard Brother Huang mention it before, it seems that your company wants to acquire our copyist animation studio!"

"That's right!"

"And the condition proposed is 600 million yuan, but I am required to sign a fifteen-year cooperation contract with your company! During this period, the copyright of all my works belongs to your company!"

"Yes, and during this period, you will have a salary, and you will be entitled to 20% of the income generated by the work!" Yin Tian added.

"To be honest, with your animation studio with less than 100 people, 600 million, cash, and a one-time payment, what are you hesitating about?"

"But why should I merge into your company?" Chu Yu asked.

"I think our studio is small, but everything is going well, no problem at all!"

"No problem now, doesn't mean no problem in the future!" Yin Tian smiled.

"After all, the economic growth rate of Longguo is slowing down now. Small enterprises and companies are not so easy to mix. It is a wise choice to find a big company as a backer!"

"I don't think it is necessary!" Chu Yu sighed, not bothering to say anything polite to him.

Six hundred million, fifteen years. This kind of condition is obviously a lion's open mouth. If it wasn't for Huang Ming to say that this guy is closely related to the government, Chu Yu would not bother to tell him so much.

"Do you know how much I have earned from last year to now?" Chu Yu said directly.

"More than 400 million yuan, and Chairman Yin wants to buy me for 15 years with 600 million yuan, it seems too cheap!"

"This can't be counted like that." Yin Tian said with a smile.

"After all, you can't create so many excellent works every year. People always have peaks and valleys. If you sign this contract, even if you fall directly into the valley of your life in the future, you will have an income of 600 million. If After creating excellent works, there is still 20% of the income dividend, which is not much better than the business model of a small animation studio like yours?"

"But, I don't think this year is my peak!" Chu Yu looked at Yin Tian.

Yin Tian's pupils shrank. He could feel the confidence in Chu Yu's words, which made him even more excited. Chu Yu's self-confidence is valuable. A person who has no self-confidence in himself, how can others have confidence in him. .

"Understood. It's a price issue, right? How much do you want?" Yin Tian asked back.

Chu Yu took a deep breath, feeling like he was playing the piano to a cow.

"Then 10 billion!" Chu Yu looked at Yin Tian.

Chu Yu knew that he could not afford it, nor would he be able to pay this price.

The total value of Tianxing animation is less than 20 billion. How could such a price be paid?

Chu Yu basically told him that he had no interest in the acquisition.

To be honest, Chu Yu was very annoying to these people, he came to the door inexplicably and offered some conditions inexplicably, thinking that they would definitely accept the conditions he offered, which was really funny.

"Ten billion?" Yin Tian's smile converged.

Chu Yu can understand his own value, and Yin Tian also understands that the 600 million yuan is just a space for Chu Yu to bargain. As for 10 billion, it is pure nonsense!

"How about eight hundred million!"

"Chairman Yin, please come back!"

"Nine hundred million!"

"Chairman Yin! I think I've made it very clear!" The polite smile on Chu Yu's face disappeared.

"This is the limit!" Yin Tian looked at Chu Yu.

"This price is also a big gamble for us, Tianxing, and it can't be higher!"

Chu Yu didn't say a word, just looked at him silently, the meaning was obvious, and he didn't say more than a speculative sentence.

"I see, it seems that the Chu Yu brothers haven't thought about it clearly because the time is short. It's me who is abrupt, but I hope the Chu Yu brothers think about it more. After all, in the animation industry, multiple friends are always better than multiple friends. !"

"I am also confident in the strength of the Chu Yu brothers, so I took the liberty to come here. After all, in this year's Dragon Kingdom animation market, our company is full of confidence "The summoned magical boy! "Being ruthlessly crushed by Lu Luxiu, even the second pick is not necessarily secure now, and it depends on the performance of the next few episodes. If you don't perform well, you may lose to Miss Hui Ye, and you can only rank in popularity this year. The third place in the animation!"

"I won't give up easily here, so I hope Brother Chu Yu will think about it more!" Yin Tian said with a smile, then got up.

"Awu, Li'er, let's go!"

"Then I'll retire first!" Yin Tian said with a smile, then turned to leave.

In the office, Chu Yu and Huang Ming looked at each other, it was really too sudden.

The chairman of Tianxing Animation came to negotiate the acquisition in person, which really surprised them.

"Brother Chu, what do you think of this?" Huang Ming had not spoken before. After all, Chu Yu was in charge of the studio. No matter what decision Chu Yu made, he expressed his understanding and support.

"What else can I say, I'm not interested in acquisitions or cooperation. I'd rather make less money than let my work be controlled by others." Chu Yu said calmly.

"But, this may not mean making less money! You should also understand what he said!" Huang Ming said solemnly.

"Before he left, he mentioned the "Summoned Magical Boy". To be honest, without our studio, this year's annual popular animation must belong to this work produced by Tianxing Animation Company. It's a small feud!"

"Can this also count as hatred? Isn't he Tianxing Animation's enemy of Manlong Kingdom?"

"You are right to say that, after all, peers are enemies! For two companies with similar strengths, the first battle is called competition, and with the size and network resources of our studio and Tianxing, Lu Lu Xiu won the first popularity of the year by grabbing food from the tiger's mouth! He took away the honor that belonged to their company!"

"That's what he said about friends and enemies! Cooperation with him is a friend. Otherwise, it is an enemy!" Huang Ming sighed.

"The enemy is the enemy, it's nothing!" Chu Yu said.

"It's different, other companies only oppress us through commercial means, but it's actually useless. After all, you have so many fans and such high popularity, conventional means cannot completely restrict our works, at most only to a certain extent. Affected, but Yin Tian just now is different, I told you before, his official background is very strong, conventional methods really don't work for us, but we are afraid of dimensionality reduction!" Huang Ming shook his head.

"What kind of background is it?" Chu Yu asked.

"It's the current leader of the bureau in charge of culture and entertainment that I told you about, the founder of Tianxing Animation Company, and the brother of Grandpa Yin Tian! You understand, although that guy retired in a few years, but He is still in office now, or why would so many animation companies in the industry shy away from Tianxing Animation? Of course, there are many such things in the industry. For example, in this bureau, the most powerful competitor for the next leader is the current deputy director. His wife is also the chairman of an animation production company! That woman seems to have appeared at the anniversary celebration of your Tianji Comics, but the host introduced her identity as a businessman and did not say her husband's background, but in fact , everyone in the industry knows it!”

"It feels so messy?" Chu Yu blinked.

"This is normal. After all, starting a company is not the same as an individual creator. It doesn't matter who is in the official department for a large-scale animation or even a film and television entertainment company in Longguo, so relatively speaking, everyone has this kind of relationship, but it is a liability. In the end, everyone competes based on their own strengths, but for us, we are just pure entrepreneurs, the only competitiveness is the works, and we haven’t developed so many connections, so.” Huang Ming didn’t say it too clearly, It's enough that Chu Yu can understand.

"Then what if you don't?"

"Sell yourself cheaply? Then what is 900 million and 15 years, it's true!" Chu Yu sneered.

From Chu Yu's point of view, his career has just started and he can earn 500 million in two years, 900 million in 15 years, that must be a bad contract.

"That's the case for the time being anyway. Yin Tian himself must understand that this kind of thing can't be done in a few months. Even if he wants to play tricks, he has to wait a few months. Anyway, if you really don't agree, just do whatever you want. Let him make a move!" Huang Ming's frowning brows eased.

"I don't care so much about him for now. Anyway, our attitude is to refuse, but we don't need to offend him too much. I still don't believe that no matter how big his relationship is, what can we do to us? After all, it is the relationship between the cultural department!" Huang Ming said.

Chu Yu thought for a while and nodded.

It's really not good to be an enemy with such a person, but compared to the other option, helping him work and being bound by a contract for 15 years, then Chu Yu is even more unacceptable. 100,000,000, if there are no invisible conditions bound in it, Chu Yu will definitely not believe it, otherwise he will pick up the money and spend fifteen years, then Yin Tian will not lose blood!

And for Chu Yu, if he was to be restrained for so long, he might as well just retire. Anyway, now he is rich enough to use his grandson's generation, so why should he be controlled by others?

After thinking about this matter, the two of them were straightforward and decided to reach an unanimous decision.

Yin Tian and his bodyguard Wu Ming, who left the studio, and Li He, the secretary, drove on the road.

"Chairman, that's all for today." Li He said.

"Needless to say, I know it!" Yin Tian said with a smile.

"After all, young people may change their minds after a long time, and although the animation industry spreads him very well, how can there be so many gods? Maybe he is just a genius with only two years in his prime, and now he is just about to reach his prime. In the past, the business of several hundred million was so sloppy. Today, I just came to meet him. Didn't he have two animation sequels ready to be released? And the animation sequels can best test the strength of a creator, how many popular works continue The work is all scolded by fans," Yin Tian thought in his eyes.

"Let's see how the two works will perform in the future. If Fu is one, it proves that he is not so talented, but he is still worthy of the name of genius. If Fu is two. To be honest, then he is not worthy of me at all. the energy time!"

"What if his two sequels not only failed, but also became more popular than the previous ones?" Secretary Li He asked.

"Does it need to be said? Naturally, he was pulled into our camp by unscrupulous means, a genius rarely seen in decades, with no background, is there such a good thing in this world? Don't talk about us then, Long Other animation companies in China must also spare no effort to win him over!"

"What if he doesn't agree?" Li He asked.

"Dividing the cake is not so easy! Although he is a genius, it is true, but a genius that cannot be used by us animation giants is just a huge threat to try to share the existing market cake. The more genius he is, the better It attracted everyone's unanimous sense of crisis! And I have lost a real loss. The title of the year's most popular animation of the animation "The Summoned Magical Boy" was robbed by his rebellious Lelouch. There is no such thing. With the bonus of fame, the sales of surrounding areas will definitely be much lower, the selling price of broadcasting rights will also be lower, and the promotion cost of adapting it into a game will also increase a lot. He cooperates with me, and I am naturally generous to my friends. If I don’t want to. "

"Forget it, you'll know when the time comes. To me, he actually has a weakness exposed! It's only been a few months anyway. Let's take a look at his rebellious Lelouch and White Album 2 first. How's the second season of the show! If it's another fallen genius, there's no point in talking about it too much now!"
