Treasure hunt begins in England

Chapter 454 Investing
Liang En did not make any money from the investment in TYPE-MOON in a short period of time, and even added an additional investment of nearly 50 euros during this period.

However, these investments are also meaningful. For example, Liang En now owns 35% of the company's shares. Of course, this is the limit he thinks he can own.

After all, most companies in TYPE-MOON are different. The core staff are Takashi Takeuchi and Kinoko Nasu, and the others are just accessories.

Therefore, the bulk of the shares must naturally belong to these two founders.Otherwise, once they feel that they have slacked off after working for others or simply start anew, it will definitely not be good news for Liang En, an investor.

Liang En has an additional gain in doing this, that is, the two founders of TYPE-MOON have now fully recognized him. After all, this kind of investor who spends real money but does not show greed for the company's shares is really too rare up.

As for the animation investment this time, Liang En naturally supports it. Although the price of more than 560 million euros is indeed not cheap, Liang En also knows that this animation should be the beginning of making the Fate series truly a god, so investment is necessary .

Although the budget was more than 560 million euros, this did not cause any pressure to Liang En, who had recently received a large amount of royalties.

Not to mention that letting that money sit in a bank account is the stupidest thing to do, Liang En has actually been thinking about where to put that money before, and investing in this cartoon is obviously a very good idea.

Of course, because the company's previous works and surrounding products were sold well, the company itself still has some money. Liang En doesn't need to pay 560 million euros, but only 380 million is enough.

As for future promotion and other expenses, we need to wait until the things are finished, and there is no need to pay them all at once, which also reduces the pressure on investors a lot.

The most important thing is that the one-time payment of this money can allow the animation to be produced at one time without the need to produce while playing, which is conducive to maintaining the quality of the entire series.

As for the return on this investment, it is also very simple, Liang En will get half of the income from this animation and its derivative parts, this rate of return is much higher than most conventional investments anyway.

Of course, the investment in cultural products is actually very risky, because people's tastes and market conditions are difficult to enter, especially for new works that have no similar content before.

It is true that some people have gained several times or even dozens of times the profit with a small fortune, but more people have lost everything, so investing in this aspect is a very risky thing.

Under normal circumstances, except for some professionals who are very good at this field, other investors seldom invest in this direction because of the uncertainty of this business.

As for Liang En's willingness to invest, the reason is also very simple. On the one hand, as a shareholder of the company, he must contribute money when he wants to contribute.After all, while enjoying the rights and interests, it is natural to assume corresponding obligations.

On the other hand, because Liang En knew what kind of miracle the Fate series had created in another world, he would naturally take this opportunity to hitch a ride.

Because the content of the contract was very simple, and there were basically no differences between the two parties, Liang En and the others confirmed the content of the contract through a lawyer that afternoon and signed the contract before dinner.

"As soon as the money is in place, I think we can start production directly. Thank you very much for your trust." At dinner time, everyone went to a famous izakaya for dinner, and Takashi Takeuchi said happily at the table.

Nasu Kinoko on the side also looks very excited. After all, it is very exciting to see his own story being animated so quickly, and more importantly, seeing his own work being animated like this.

"I believe this is a very good story." Although Liang En tried to understand this series of anime in his previous life, he only watched each episode of the story for writing and added some more famous scenes.

In other words, Liang En himself has not seriously watched what the overall situation of the animation in the other world looks like, but only has a general impression.

Fortunately, judging from the script that has been taken out now, Liang En feels that the general direction of the whole story is not much different from the one he has read before. As for the differences in some details, it will not affect anything.

At the same time, the other party also said that there will be a positive character based on Liang En in the story, who will be an archaeologist and part-time magician. Of course, this will only appear in the background, which is a small easter egg.

This can also be regarded as a small privilege of the author, who can let his acquaintances enter these works to add more interest to the whole work.

That night, the two Japanese drank a lot of wine, because Liang En successfully helped them solve the most difficult problem they encountered now, and showed his reliable side, which made them relax a lot .

At the same time, according to the habits of the Japanese, it is better to drink a little more when this kind of relationship is connected, even if it is because of drunkenness, it doesn't matter if you show some ugly appearance.

Because according to the Japanese tradition at this time, being drunk means that they are willing to let go of their defenses completely. It is a way of showing closeness to others and connecting the feelings of both parties.

This also led to the fact that the last two Japanese were carried back. Fortunately, as foreigners, Liang En and the others did not have to abide by this rule, so everyone just drank half a glass of wine.

Because of the availability of funds, TYPE-MOON company has entered a busy state. After all, they have already made preparations before, and what they have to do now is to start work.

But also because everyone in the company is too busy now, and everyone in the company has to go all out to start work, as the company's president, Takashi Takeuchi went to Liang En's hotel to apologize to them.

After all, the two sides agreed to travel together in addition to handling company affairs, but now looking at the company, it is obviously impossible to travel together.

Liang En also felt a little helpless about the politeness of the Japanese, but this was also a local characteristic, so Liang En could only express that there was no problem with this matter according to the etiquette, and now he still had to focus on the company's affairs.

Then Liang En and the others started their own journey. For example, they spent three days simply visiting some famous scenic spots around Tokyo Film and Television, and even went to Ueno Park to watch cherry blossoms.

To be honest, the petals of cherry blossoms all over the ground are really beautiful when they are blown by the wind and fluttering in the air with the petals falling from the trees. No wonder this thing can become a part of Japanese culture.

After visiting all the tourist places, they finally went back to the antique shop in Ginza to inquire about the source of the previous shellfish.

In fact, Liang En didn't have much hope for the result of this inquiry, because this kind of antique shops often kept secrets from the shippers, especially for the shops on the Ginza side, this work of keeping secrets was as important as their lives.

But what he didn't expect was that after they tried to inquire, they actually found out about the original owner of this thing from the antique shop.
