my animation era

Chapter 354 Electronic Pokémon (for subscription)

Wanbao really ran out of money?
In order to prove this statement, Gu Miao didn't care about celebrating Ke Ke's birthday, so she hurriedly called Lao Zhang and Ma Kui to find out the situation.

"There is indeed such a thing..."

As the new vice president, Lao Zhang has taken over Jiang Keke's position. He is mainly responsible for the group's personnel and administrative management, and has certain jurisdiction over finances.

With his description, Gu Miao finally knew what happened.

It turned out that it was in September this year.

At the beginning of Gu Miao's business, several loans from the bank had already expired one after another.

It's not big head.

The big head is the final payment that Gu Miao bought the [Wanbao · Pleasant Goat Paradise] land from Mr. Xiong and needs to pay as soon as possible.

"no……"

Gu Miao hesitated and said, "I just checked the accounts two days ago, don't we still have hundreds of millions of liquid funds in our books?"

"It's almost over!"

"Some time ago, you allocated a sum of money to the Puppet Studio, another sum to the Wolf Castle Studio, and then a sum to the Dimension Studio."

"Just now, you allocated another sum of money to Huang Kun and Xiao Guo..."

Ma Kui snapped his fingers, and settled the score for Gu Miao: "Our family is very rich, but no matter how rich our family is, we can't bear such extravagance!"

It turned out to be the case.

Gu Miao suddenly realized that there were too many new works/projects launched during this period, which took up most of the company's cash flow.

Coupled with the maturity of the bank loan, the payment of the final payment of Mr. Xiong's land, and the maintenance of the company's normal operation, etc., Ma Kui asked Xiao Guo and Huang Kun to ask for a little less money.

"But it's not right!"

Gu Miao muttered to herself, "Didn't we launch several popular animations in the first half of this year?"

"Didn't things like 'Pokémon,' 'Sailor Moon 2,' and 'Happy Year of the Sheep' not make any money?"

"I earned it!"

Ma Kui spread his hands and said, "But the money hasn't been recovered yet! Have you forgotten that it takes time to get the money back, and it usually takes quarterly or even half a year."

That's broken!
When he said this, Gu Miao immediately realized the seriousness of the problem.

As Ma Kui said, it will take time to get the money back.It doesn't mean that if you make money, the money will appear in your account immediately, and it takes a long time to receive the money.

But now that the loan is due and the company has started multiple animation projects, there is no money left on the books.

"Is there really no money?"

"Gone!"

Lao Zhang shook his head and said, "The current solution is either to negotiate with the bank and give us a few days' delay, or to urge our partners to return our payment earlier."

"Hurry up!"

"Whoever delays our money, let them give it to us quickly. As for the bank, I will go to communicate with them and negotiate, so there is no such rush."

Gu Miao murmured, "But far away water can't quench near thirst. At this time, what we need more is cash, sufficient cash."

"That's right!"

Ma Kui and old Zhang Qiqi nodded.

As long as you have cash, all problems can be solved.But the question now is, where to get "hundreds of millions" of cash in the short term?

Gu Miao thought about finding someone to "borrow".

It shouldn't be a big problem for a close buddy like Mr. Xiong to borrow some money for an emergency at a critical moment.

But Gu Miao didn't want to borrow money for the time being.

This mouth once, that is human favor!Even if you calculate interest for others, that is still human favor!As we all know, the debt of favor is the hardest to repay.

Unless it is absolutely necessary, Gu Miao does not want to owe others a favor for no reason.

The main thing is...

He has already thought of an idea on how to get a cash flow in the short term to alleviate the company's financial crisis.

……

Jiangchuan, Wanbao Toy Factory.

The toy factory formerly known as "Wanzhibao" is located in an industrial park in the suburbs.Since it was acquired and changed its name to "Wanbao Toys", it has become one of Wanbao's most stable sources of cash flow.

The reason why it is "one" is that in addition to peripheral derivatives business, Wanbao is also very profitable in "IP licensing".

of course!

No matter how profitable IP licensing is, its influence must be incomparable with the "peripheral derivatives business".

After all, how many people are there in IP operations?

On the other hand, Wanbao Toys has thousands of employees in just one factory.In terms of social influence, they are simply not at the same level.

But having said that...

As the president of Wanbao, Gu Miao rarely came to the toy company.Usually, Lao He goes to the headquarters in the city center and reports to him.

Then why is he here today?

And if you don't come early or late, you come when the employees are off work and everyone is going home for dinner?

This surprised Old He.

He had just come out of the workshop and was about to drive home, but as soon as he entered the parking lot, the secretary came and told him: Mr. Gu is on his way here, and he has something important to discuss with him!

Ok!

Although he didn't know what important matter Mr. Gu wanted to discuss with him, Lao He still called his wife and told her that he might not be able to go back tonight.

"Mr. Gu, welcome!"

The moment he hung up the phone, Lao He saw Mr. Gu and hurried forward to shake hands and greet him.

"Okay, don't be polite."

Gu Miao glanced at the factory area, and found that the workers had all left work one after another, so she hurriedly asked, "The masters in the factory, have they all left work yet?"

"There are still a few more..."

"Then invite them here, I have something here, let them see if they can make it." Gu Miao took out a blueprint prepared in advance, and handed it to Lao He and said.

Lao He glanced at it, his hair was black.

Judging by his professional eyes, this blueprint was probably drawn by Mr. Gu himself. After all, only a layman can draw such a rough and irregular design blueprint.

However, that's not the point.

When he invited all the master craftsmen in the factory who hadn't had time to get off work to the conference room, they started a heated discussion around the blueprint of Mr. Gu.

"Cyber ​​Pokémon?"

"That's right!"

Gu Miao pointed to the blueprint and said, "I hope this machine can raise electronic Pokémon pets, and have functions such as training, feeding, and interaction."

"It's simple."

Lao He nodded. This kind of "electronic pet" program can be easily created, and the difficulty is not very high.

But Gu Miao's subsequent words made everyone frown.

"I hope this machine can interact with other machines through modules such as infrared, bluetooth or WIFI, which is the PVP mode!"

ah this? !
Compared with the previous electronic pets, this "linkage PVP" module is more difficult to get.

But no matter how difficult it is, there is a limit, as long as you work hard, you can achieve this function.Thinking of the current popularity of the animation "Pokémon", everyone's eyes brightened.

Digital Pokémon?
A small machine, raise a "Pokémon" exclusive to you, train it to train it, play with it to increase intimacy, and then start a PVP duel with other players?

It seems... very interesting!

　Tamagotchi, have you all seen it?
