My Animation Era

  Chapter 79 Year-End Summary

  The Spring Festival is approaching.

  Jiangchuan Municipal Department has begun to hang festive lanterns, colored lanterns and decorations for the Year of the Rabbit on the landscape trees and street lights in the streets and alleys.

  Located in the multifunctional conference room on the 15th floor of Fuding Building in the core urban area, Wanbao Group also ushered in its first "year-end summary" conference.

   Said it was a meeting...

  Actually, the participants are just the heads and management of each subsidiary, including the Neon branch that is far away overseas and participated in the conference through video.

   A full play counts as 30 people.

  Most of them listened attentively and basically had no right to speak. Other than the "Four Maggot Brothers", the representatives responsible for speaking were Seto, Jiang Keke and Lao He.

   "I just want to say..."

  As the most reliable pillar of the group, it is also the core part of Wanbao's IP strategy. The person in charge of peripheral derivatives, Old He of Wanbao Toys, took the lead in complaining.

   "It was hard to earn some money, but it was all taken away by Mr. Gu. After working hard for half a year, I can't even drink soup at the end of the year. It's not fair! No matter how you divide it, I must get the most of the year-end bonus!"

   "Why do you take the big head?"

   Before Gu Miao could speak, Ma Kui, one of the four maggot brothers, couldn't bear it any longer. He patted the table and glared at Old He, saying, "Without an animation company, can your products be sold?"

   Pick up the bowl to eat, put down the bowl and scold your mother, right?

   Ma Kui was very upset.

   Originally, the total amount of year-end bonus set by Mr. Gu was not much, and if it was divided among the subsidiaries, it would be even less. If Lao He got the big head, what would the others do?

   "What you're saying is, if the toy company didn't give you continuous blood transfusions, would you still be able to survive?" Old He retorted.

   "Are you looking for faults?"

   "What? Don't accept it?"

  The two were arguing red-faced, and the others looked at each other, but no one dared to speak out to persuade them to fight.

   After all, it comes down to it.

   Wanbao Group is the big brother of animation and toy companies. These two elder brothers quarreled, how could the younger brothers dare to speak? If the elder brother angered, wouldn't it be sent?

   At the critical moment, Gu Miao still has to be seen.

   "All right, all right!"

  Sitting in the first place, Gu Miao, who hadn't spoken much, coughed, signaled the two to calm down, and said calmly, "This is not a vegetable market, so why bother?"

   "I have already made arrangements for the distribution of the year-end bonus. I will skip this topic. Let's summarize the past six months..."

  First of all, Wanbao Animation.

  Established half a year ago, under the two studios of "Wolf Fort" and "Lightning", produced three animations, "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf", "Lei Sudeng Lightning Crossing the Line" and "Sheep and Goat Games".

  Remarkable performance!

  It is currently on the air, not to mention the unfinished "Sheep and Goat Games", and "Pigman I" which is still in production. The two animations of Pleasant Goat and Lei Sudeng alone have created benefits beyond imagination.

   It's not just the sale of broadcasting rights.

  There are also IP authorization, advertising business and overseas income. All of them add up to about 20 to 30 million.

  Counting "Sheep and Goat Games", there should be 50 million.

   Sounds like a lot...

   But the animation company's expenditure is also a lot. The first TV animation of "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" is invested by Jiangchuan Children's Channel.

  The average investment of the three works "Lei Sudeng Lightning Crossing the Line", "Sheep and Goat Games" and "Pigman: The Magic Pigs" has exceeded 10 million.

  Plus administrative office expenses.

   After half a year, Wanbao Animation not only complained that they were poor, but they really didn't make much money.

   I can only say, no loss, no gain.

  Neon branch is the same.

   Regardless of the popularity of "Sailor Moon", Tsukino Usagi has become a new generation of two-dimensional "goddess". But as a producer, the Neon branch really didn't get rich overnight.

  Barely make a living.

   Among the many subsidiaries of Wanbao Group, the only companies that can be called profitable, or even huge profits, are probably Wanbao Toys and the newly established Wanbao Stationery.

  These two companies are proper cash cows.

  Just two months ago, the popular "Ray Sudeng remote control car" was given to Wanbao Toys, creating hundreds of millions of revenue. Not to mention, there is also the golden signboard of "Pleasant Goat".

   Now "Sailor Moon" has gained a certain popularity, and the sales of figurines are booming.

  In general, the toy company is definitely the most profitable subsidiary. In the past six months, at least 100 million cash flow has been contributed to Gu Miao.

  This is also the confidence of Lao He to slap the table.

  The brothers are all poor, all relying on his eldest brother for blood transfusion support. Under such circumstances, can he not speak hard?

   "After a while, I'm afraid even the president won't pay attention to me..."

  Gu Miao was very worried.

  Since ancient times, the emperor has been most afraid of the vassal princes from all over the world "supporting their own troops and self-respect". Lao He's arrogant attitude has given him the idea of ​​​​"cutting the feudal clan".

   Don't cut a meal.

  In case one day, Lao He's brain gets hot, he bought a yellow coat and put it on Ma Kui, and raised his arms and shouted: "There is no master of all treasures, may the vice president of the horse be the emperor!"

  Then what should he do?

  Although Ma Kui has always been hostile to Lao He, the two quarreled when they met. But maybe this is the "illusion" created by the two colluding to paralyze him.

   Glancing at Ma Kui and Lao He who were still "looking at each other affectionately", Gu Miao became more and more suspicious.

no!

   In the next year, the clan must be cut down, and part of Wanbao Toys' business must be divested to other subsidiaries. Otherwise, if this continues, Lao He will turn against him sooner or later.

  After confirming the focus of work for the next year, Gu Miao immediately looked at the person in charge of another subsidiary.

  Nantong Sensei!

   Wanbao Comics in the past six months... Oh no! It's been three months, and they've done pretty well. The sales of the two single-volume comics released are skyrocketing.

   This is also the only subsidiary company that can live a healthy life without relying on blood transfusions from peripheral derivatives.

   "The comic magazine has been approved."

  Gu Miao knocked on the table, and pondered: "In my opinion, we can start a publication after the next year and publish the first comic magazine."

   "Starting a publication is easy."

  Mr. Nan Tong nodded and said: "But there are two problems that need to be solved urgently. The first problem is the lack of submissions for serial comics, and the second problem is the magazine release cycle."

   Submission is easy.

  There are not many domestic comic magazines, and there are few competitors. There is an oversupply of serial comics, so as long as the price can be paid, soliciting manuscripts is not a problem.

   As for the release cycle…

   "I think a weekly magazine would be more appropriate!"

   Gu Miao explained: "Monthly, or half-monthly, the interval is too long, which is not conducive to readers to follow up and read."

  He hates monthly magazines.

  When she was still studying, Gu Miao also bought several semi-monthly and monthly comic magazines. I just read it with interest, and when I turn the page...there is nothing left!

  Want to watch the sequel?

   Obediently wait half a month, a month!

  This is worse than the broken chapter dog at the starting point! Fragmented dogs can make readers uncomfortable for a day at most, but monthly magazines can make readers suffer for a month.

   One month!

  Do you know how he spent this month?

   Seeking collection monthly ticket support~!
