My Animation Era

  Chapter 110 Jiangchuan Akihabara? (seeking subscription)

  The first [Jiangchuan Animation Carnival] hosted by Wanbao Group came to an end on April 7.

  In this exhibition, Wanbao Animation presented "Dragon Fighter", which is still in the mid-production stage, and "Rainspeed 2", which is in the early stage of preparation.

  Feiyang Animation exhibited "Quiba".

   Judging from the actual effect...

   "Quiba" does not seem to have achieved the expected "sensational" effect, and very few audiences are interested in the project.

  The most popular, and the "most anticipated animation work" selected by the visitors of this year's animation carnival, is actually the previously unknown "Rainspeeder 2".

   This surprised Ma Kui a little.

   "Does Lei Sudeng have so many fans?"

  He asked: "I thought that the most anticipated work by the audience must be "Dragon Fighter"!"

  Can the properties be the same?

  Gu Miao rolled her eyes wildly and said, "Are these kids looking forward to the animation? They are obviously looking forward to the new remote control car!"

   Makes sense!

  The attraction of the new remote control car is indeed many times higher than that of the animation.

   After all, there are many children who may not have watched animation at all, but they must have played with remote control cars, or have been exposed to them.

   Ma Kui nodded.

  After explaining why "Rainspeed 2" became the most popular exhibited animation work at this animation carnival, Gu Miao asked again: "How much money did this exhibition lose?"

   "About fifteen to sixty thousand."

"That is not bad…"

  Gu Miao breathed a sigh of relief.

  Hundreds of thousands, to be honest, is still within the acceptable range. If the loss is millions, then he has to think about whether it is meaningful to hold such an event.

   "The main reason is that the tickets didn't make any money."

   Ma Kui explained: "If there is ticket revenue, coupled with the sales of derivative products around the venue, not only will there be no loss, but even a small profit."

"Can."

  Gu Miao slightly bent her index finger, tapped the table and said, "Since the effect is so good, and it doesn't cost too much money, let's do it again in the second half of the year!"

   Come again in the second half of the year?

  Just wanted to talk about this kind of event, is it too frequent to hold this kind of event twice a year, Ma Kui, before he could say anything, he heard Mr. Gu say again.

   "Time to change the term."

   "The first half of the year is called the Anime Carnival, and the second half is called the Anime Culture Exhibition! Later, we will hold a few more events, such as the Anime Carnival Week, the Anime Music Festival, and the Anime Expo."

  Gu Miao said enthusiastically: "Try to make it so that there will be an offline comic event every quarter, or even every month, so as to turn Jiangchuan into a mecca for animation!"

  Holy Land, do you understand?

   At that time, build an ACGN theme block around the upcoming "Pleasant Goat Theme Park".

  The streets are full of ACGN-related shops, and there are corresponding offline comic exhibitions and game exhibitions every month or even every week, and the "anime" economy is being vigorously developed. Isn't that the "two-dimensional holy place"!

   You can also say it is Akihabara mode!

  However, the difficulty of creating an "ACG Holy Land" in Jiangchuan is not something that Gu Miao alone, or Wanbao alone can do.

   There must be a "group" of colleagues, including Jiangchuan City, to support him.

   In this regard, Gu Miao also has a plan.

  As long as he can win the title of "Jiangchuan Big Taxpayer", if not unexpected, the city will definitely consider his proposal and invest heavily in the development of the "anime" industry.

   At that time, we will win over some merchants.

  With everyone working together, the "Egawa Akihabara" formed around Wanbao will take shape.

  As long as we have this foundation, and with the continuous release of excellent animation/comic works by Wanbao, it is absolutely certain that it will become a "two-dimensional holy place".

certainly…

   Ideas are ideas.

  Gu Miao is neither a big taxpayer in Jiangchuan, nor is he well received by his peers. The so-called "theme park" has not even seen a shadow. It is too early to say this.

   "Actually, it's almost too soon."

   Ma Kui hesitated and said: "Although our company was only established in the second half of last year, the tax paid in the second half of the year is already not a small amount. If you work hard this year, you will definitely become a big taxpayer!"

   "As for Pleasant Goat Theme Park..."

   As long as you have money, isn't it possible to start construction at any time?

   "The problem is, we have no money!"

  Gu Miao became angry from embarrassment: "If I had money, I would wish to start construction now, and do I need you to remind me?"

  The land purchase payment has not been paid off yet!

  Pleasant Goat Theme Park, even if it is divided into several stages, and the first phase of the project starts construction, at least 100 to 200 million construction funds must be prepared, right?

  Even if the payment is not settled in one go, the project contractor can be delayed for a while. But Gu Miao had no conscience, so she wouldn't deliberately default on the wages of migrant workers.

  So he can only put development on hold.

   "Let's talk about it later."

  Gu Miao pondered and said: "After the animation "Dragon Fighter" is broadcast, the peripheral derivatives will be healed, and it will not be too late to consider starting construction."

  Building a garden must be costly.

   Before there is sufficient cash flow, Gu Miao will not rush to start construction. Otherwise, as the company continues to build, the company suddenly runs out of money, so wouldn't it be an unfinished building?

   By the way.

  When planning the Pleasant Goat Theme Park, Gu Miao was still on the land and reserved an open space in advance.

  Used to build the future headquarters building!

  Fuding Building is still not doing well. Gu Miao has received feedback from many employees, saying that the underground parking lot is seriously insufficient, making it very inconvenient for them to go to work.

  He also went to discuss this issue.

  But Fuding Building was originally designed in the 1990s. At that time, there were not so many private cars, and the parking space was not as tight as it is now.

   So this is a design problem, and the property cannot solve it.

  The housing prices in Jiangchuan City are too high, many employees rent in communities far from the city center, and there are many people driving to and from get off work.

  Because of the "parking space" problem.

  Employees can only park their cars in a public parking lot a few hundred meters away from Fuding Building, and then walk to work. In terms of commuting efficiency, it is not as good as colleagues who take the bus to work?

   This makes everyone complain constantly.

   It's not that Gu Miao has never thought about moving to another place with plenty of parking spaces to work, but the problem is that there are too few qualified office buildings in Jiangchuan City.

   Or the rent is ridiculously expensive!

   Either the area is too small to accommodate so many people from Wanbao. If you work separately, the efficiency of communication management will also become a big problem.

  So Gu Miao finally appeased everyone.

  Be patient for a while, when the company has money, it will definitely build a headquarters building. At that time, there will be enough parking spaces, and you can park wherever you want, if you are willing...

   It's okay to stop in Mr. Gu's bedroom!

  A real man must keep his word. Since Gu Miao has made a promise, he will try his best to fulfill it.

  The priority of building the headquarters building, in his view, is even more urgent than building the Pleasant Goat theme park.

   After all, it is inconvenient to commute to and from get off work. How much does it affect the work status? The employee is not in good condition, how can he squeeze the surplus value?
