Chapter 521 It is enough to have a confidant in life!

  By the time Liu Qingshan returned to the original hotel to pick up his things, it was already dark.

  Including Xiao Su, those waiters were still a little bit reluctant, and after a few days, they all showed affection.

   Seeing that the manager was not present, Liu Qingshan cheerfully wrote a note to them.

   "Our company is going to set up a branch factory here to specialize in the production of instant noodles and ham sausage. If you are willing to go to work in the factory, then you can take this note to Mr. Yang, and he will definitely take care of you first."

  Big cities these days are all overcrowded, and it is the easiest to recruit workers, especially jobs that do not require skills, and there is no shortage of people.

   "Unified Foods."

  Looking at the name on the note, Xiao Su couldn't help but think of the Braised Beef Noodles in TV commercials.

   It’s just that what they sell here is a certain master brand braised beef noodles, and the taste is also good.

  She has a junior high school classmate who works in that factory. Hearing that it is a foreign-funded enterprise, the salary is higher than that of ordinary factories, so she can't help but be moved.

  The next day, Liu Qingshan still has to go to Shangmei Factory. As for his family, let his mother and grandpa lead them to Yu Garden for a stroll.

  Grandpa has been paralyzed for many years and has no chance to visit Yu Garden.

  Originally, the fourth and fifth children would follow, but this time Liu Qingshan was meeting with the factory leaders, so he didn't take them along.

   Came back to the gate of Shangmei Factory, and saw that Director Dai was neatly dressed, and was waiting for him under the shade of a tree with Lao Zhoutou.

  As soon as they met, the two old men said excitedly: "Qingshan, we went around the community last night and found more than 20 old guys, all of whom are experienced masters."

  Liu Qingshan is also very happy: Although he is a bit older, he has rich experience, and it will be no problem to take apprentices when the time comes.

  The three of them were walking and chatting, and when they entered the factory, they were led by these two old workers, so it was naturally unimpeded.

  Going all the way to the factory director's office, I soon met the factory director Yan, and there was also the old factory director in the room, who is now serving as a consultant Sheng Dao.

  This one is amazing. The ink-wash animations such as Little Tadpole Finding His Mother and Reed Piping that were filmed back then are all well-known and classic.

   Seeing Liu Qingshan's too young face, Director Yan thought it was the grandchildren of the two old men who came here to arrange work through the back door.

  So he said with a smile: "Lao Dai, Lao Zhou, if you want to install people, please don't talk about it. Our factory is overcrowded now."

   After finishing speaking, he gave Director Dai a meaningful look: "Old Dai, you should know best that there are more than 20 newly graduated directors idle."

  Lao Dai's retirement is actually somewhat related to this.

  Director Dai held his glasses with his hands, and said solemnly: "Old Yan, if you find it troublesome if there are too many people, then let us deal with them all."

   Then he raised his hand to introduce Liu Qingshan: "This is Comrade Liu Qingshan from Qingshan Animation Company, who came to our factory to discuss cooperation."

  After hearing this, Director Yan was a little surprised, and then stepped forward to shake hands with Liu Qingshan: "Welcome, welcome."

  Old Zhou Tou introduced Director Sheng again, exchanged pleasantries for a while, and then sat down.

   A young man came over to pour tea, and everyone started chatting. Director Yan first asked about the basic situation of Qingshan Animation Company.

  Liu Qingshan didn't hide anything, so he explained that they were going to set up an animation department to produce cartoons.

  Factory Manager Yan understood it immediately, and couldn't help laughing: "It turns out that they really poached people, Lao Dai and Lao Zhou, you have already been poached, right?"

  Director Sheng also pushed his glasses with his hands: "I'm afraid you can't dig out the regular employees in the factory."

   There is no way around this, the concept is like this, and it will not be changed in a short while, so Liu Qingshan is not in a hurry, let's take it step by step.

  So he said with a smile: "Mr. Sheng, there are many ways to cooperate. You can also outsource, that is, we provide the script of the animation, and then contract it to Shangmei Factory for production, and compensate part of the production fee."

  Factory Director Yan heard this, and his eyes lit up immediately. Last year, the Shangmei factory implemented reforms to explore a new path of development.

  But in the end, it is still a matter of changing the soup and not the medicine. If this kind of cooperation is adopted, it will make a steady profit without losing money, and you can study it carefully.

  Liu Qingshan followed suit and opened up the conversation: "Our Qingshan animation was established in the island country, and we plan to set up a branch company in China, and then promote our excellent domestic animation to foreign countries."

   "It's like Brother Gourd, which is about to be completed, so you can try the water."

  When the two leaders heard this, they became more interested: "Comrade Xiao Liu, how can you promote it?"

  If you can really sell the copyright abroad, it will be a lot of income, and it will be foreign exchange.

  Liu Qingshan has already made up his mind: "Our idea is this, Qingshan Animation, buy out your cartoons with money."

   That's it, it's quite simple, and it's guaranteed to make money without losing money.

   Regardless of whether Qingshan Animation loses or earns after buying it, anyway, they have no losses when they go to the US factory.

  The two leaders looked at each other and agreed in their hearts. After all, life is not easy now, and the factory really needs funds.

   Only when you have money can you dare to apply for a shooting project with your superiors. Otherwise, if you only count on the funding from your superiors, you will not be able to get a few projects that year.

  Factory Director Yan thought it over, and finally asked Lin Qingshan with a cheeky face: "Xiao Liu, since we are talking about business, then I will ask, what price can you Qingshan Animation offer, how much is a book?"

  One copy is the length of the standard ten-minute animation. At that time, even if it was CCTV, the imported cartoons cost a few hundred to several thousand yuan per book.

  Liu Qingshan smiled: "Our Qingshan Animation has not been established for a long time, so the price will definitely not be too high."

  The two leaders looked at each other again: the legs of mosquitoes are also meat.

At this time, old man Zhou coughed lightly: "As for this matter, Mr. Liu also told us yesterday, taking Old Dai's Black Cat Sheriff as an example, Qingshan Animation is willing to offer 200,000 yuan to buy it out. "

  The old man definitely did it on purpose. He only reported the figure of 200,000 yuan when he saw Director Yan holding up the teacup.

   Sure enough, as he expected, Director Yan shook his hand holding the teacup, and the tea inside spilled out, splashing all over his hands and pants.

  But he didn't care about these, put down his teacup, and stood up abruptly: "How much did you say?"

  Old man Zhou cheerfully stretched out two fingers: "Two hundred thousand."

  Factory Manager Yan stood there dumbfounded, old man Zhou shook his finger in front of his eyes: "Old Yan, your heart is not good, so don't get too excited."

   "Don't talk nonsense."

  Factory Manager Yan came back to his senses, pulled old man Zhou's fingers aside, and then faced Liu Qingshan: "Mr. Liu, is this true?"

  If they really have the 200,000 yuan, their factory can start working immediately, and it will be no problem to make two or three cartoons together.

  Just now, he and Director Sheng were researching together, worrying about the filming expenses. Unexpectedly, someone sent money to the door in a blink of an eye.

  At that time, it was relatively cheap to shoot movies or TV series.

  It’s like the 1986 edition of Journey to the West, the first fifteen episodes cost only three million.

  The remuneration of the actors is even lower, and Brother Hou is the most expensive, only 70 yuan for one episode, can you believe that?

   This is still for TV dramas, costumes and props, which are eaten by people. As for cartoons, it is even cheaper.

  Liu Qingshan smiled and nodded towards Director Yan: "However, the 200,000 yuan is a full buyout of the entire cartoon, including copyright, adaptation rights, sequels and peripherals, etc."

   "Let's put it this way, it is equivalent to this cartoon, and it will belong to our Aoyama Animation Company in the future."

   Now, the two leaders understood, and Director Sheng pointed to Director Dai: "Okay, old Dai, why are you so active? It turns out that you are holding back and want to continue filming the black cat sheriff!"

  Director Dai also laughed, this cartoon has become his heart disease.

  Factory Manager Yan also frowned. This kind of matter is quite sensitive, and it is equivalent to selling state property.

   And the most important thing is that there is no such precedent before, maybe he will take responsibility.

   Therefore, this matter must be reported to the superior, and a factory leadership meeting must be held to study a charter first.

  Thinking of this, he immediately couldn't sit still: "Mr. Liu, let's discuss it first, do you think it's okay?"

  Liu Qingshan smiled: "Director Yan, don't be in a hurry, what we need is not a black cat sheriff."

  Old man Zhou was also grinning, and stretched out another slap in front of Director Yan: "Brother Hulu, buy it out for 500,000 yuan!"

what!

  Factory Manager Yan covered his chest with his hands, this time he really felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

  Consultant Sheng was also shocked, and muttered in his mouth: "When did cartoons become so valuable..."

  In this era, the economic benefits of cartoons have not been fully developed, such as adaptation rights and peripherals, they are not valued at all.

   In the island country, a complete industrial chain has gradually formed, so the income of cartoonists is so high.

  The price offered by Liu Qingshan, now it seems that it is indeed a bit scary.

   But this kind of classic animation, bought out for 500,000 yuan, it is a huge profit.

   Needless to say, shooting sequels in the future, even if you sell portrait rights to those manufacturers casually, it will not exceed this amount.

   No matter how many pirated copies there are, there are those who use genuine authorization after all.

   After a long time, the two leaders of Shangmei factory recovered from the shock. The two looked at each other again, and they had made up their minds.

   It is necessary to convene a meeting of the factory leaders immediately to settle this matter, and then they will go to the top to make connections together. No matter what, we must facilitate this matter!

  Factory Manager Yan took a deep look at Liu Qingshan, he can't understand this young man at all now.

   Is this money and no place to spend it?

  But now he can't think of it no matter what, the Qingshan animation is the only way to make money without losing money.

   At this time, Director Sheng spoke again: "Mr. Liu, if you have any big plans, just tell them. Don't worry, we two old guys can still handle it."

  Because of age, they always called Liu Qingshan Little Liu.

  Now, the title has changed to Mr. Liu.

  The huge benefits have already made them ignore Liu Qingshan's age.

  Liu Qingshan followed up and said: "Mr. Sheng, what I liked to watch most when I was young was the little tadpoles looking for their mother you took."

  Director Dai next to him pushed his glasses: Didn’t you say you were the black cat sheriff yesterday?

  However, he didn't open his mouth, and continued to listen to Liu Qingshan: "Over the past few years, foreign cartoons have poured in, and our domestic animation seems to be a little bit irresistible."

  Director Sheng's face immediately became serious. As an animator, he certainly didn't want this to happen.

  But the reality is like this, what can he do?

  Domestic animation pays attention to slow work and meticulous work. In terms of quality, it is not inferior to foreign animation at all, and even exceeds it by a lot.

  But why can't they compete with others?

  Liu Qingshan also stood up from his seat: "Televisions are becoming more and more popular now. If our children grow up watching foreign cartoons, what impact will it have?"

  Director Sheng frowned unknowingly. Of course, he had thought about this question.

  He looked at Liu Qingshan solemnly, and now he finally realized that the young man in front of him was definitely not throwing money for fun on a whim.

   But for this line of work, he has the same love and worry as he does.

  In an instant, Director Sheng felt a sense of confidant for this young man who was several decades younger than him.

   It is enough to have a confidant in life!

  Director Sheng made a decision in his heart instantly.

   Only Liu Qingshan’s voice continued: “That’s why we have to unite. Before we are left too far behind by others, we will catch up and make our domestic animation bigger and stronger and carry forward.”

  The words were so loud that everyone in the room couldn't help but feel refreshed.

  They have all lived in Shangmei Factory for most of their lives, and they also have great love for this industry.

   "Mr. Liu, the factory director's seat should really be given to you." Factory director Yan also sighed.

  Liu Qingshan waved his hands again and again: "If it were me, I would definitely be inferior to you. There are too many constraints and too many restrictions. Who else can really show their strengths?"

  Everyone nodded vigorously, deeply convinced that there are too many rules and regulations in the system.

   "It seems that the country vigorously develops the private economy, which is also reasonable." Director Yan is even more deeply touched.

  Liu Qingshan took over the quarrel: "Each has its own advantages and disadvantages, so the country allows multiple systems to coexist."

  At this time, Director Sheng suddenly said: "Mr. Liu, I have a heartfelt request, can I join your Qingshan animation?"

ah?

  Everyone in the room was stunned. Director Sheng was in the Shangmei factory, but now he is like a Dinghaishenzhen.

  Even after retirement, I still work as a consultant.

  Liu Qingshan was overjoyed, and immediately responded: "Mr. Sheng, if you come, we can't wait for you. The position of general counsel must be yours!"

  Director Sheng waved his hand lightly: "I'm so old, I don't care about job titles, just like what you said just now, I just want to contribute to our domestic animation."

  Hearing the old man's sincere words, Liu Qingshan was really awed, and he couldn't help but hold Director Sheng's hand:

   "Mr. Sheng, let us work together."

   "And us!"

  Old man Zhou also pulled Mr. Dai and approached him with a smile.

   It would be fine if Director Sheng could join the team. He is not only a director, but also the director of the factory, who is deeply respected by the employees.

  With the leader of the army, what are you worried about?

  Only Director Yan coughed twice: "You all ran away, so wouldn't I be the only commander left?"
