Chapter 173 Smash it with money!
Yuyuji Tono was drinking tea with a tea cup, but after hearing Zhao Chen's words, he couldn't hold it in one breath and couldn't help coughing. He originally thought that Zhao Chen's purpose was to win him over or ask him about the situation of Risheng Animation Club, but he didn't expect that Zhao Chen came here just to acquire the copyright of "Mobile Suit Gundam". For him, it was just that Futu has not really attached importance to "Mobile Suit Gundam". This is known from the fact that he has hit the head in recent years. He will not pick up Gundam until he has no choice.
The first reason why Yuyuki Tono thought so was entirely based on his feeling that he was a famous talent in the animation industry. The StudioDEEN animation club under Zhao Chen has been expanding recently, and its strength has almost increased by geometric multiples. It is when he is very eager for senior animation talents.
As for the second reason, it is even simpler. Some time ago, Risheng Animation Club went to find singers to block StudioDEEN Animation Club. He also knew a little more about this matter. Although Zhao Chen later acquired Being Music Company to solve this problem, the two sides were also in a foregone conclusion.
Yuyuji Tono's idea is correct, but with Zhao Chen's personality, how could he come to visit in person for such a thing? He came here and could only be for all copyrights of "Mobile Suit Gundam". Of course, if he could conquer Yuyuji Tono, it would be considered an unexpected surprise. After all, Futu is still very talented.
"Mobile Suit Gundam" will become the most famous, enduring and largest series among the island country's robot-themed cartoon works in the future. Its overall value is immeasurable, but most of the profits are mainly based on selling robot models, supplemented by animations, movies and other peripherals. Its overall value is not worse than "Pokemon". It can be said that "Mobile Suit Gundam" also has the ability to directly enter the Forbes rankings.
But it is still in 1981. Although "Mobile Suit Gundam" caused a wave of the history of island nation animation after the TV animation was broadcast in 1979, Yuyuki Tono became famous because of this. However, the robot model has not yet begun to become a real hit. In addition to the fact that the first "Mobile Suit Gundam" model was not very good. The most important thing is that it was suppressed by Lelouchi's robot model, resulting in a much lower sales volume than in history. On the contrary, the robot model of "Rebellious Lelouchi" was extremely popular.
But although "The Rebellious Lelouch" is good, it has been completed after all, which means there is no potential. At most, it will be a more popular animation in the future. But "Mobile Suit Gundam" is different. The Gundam series can be made for decades. There are many animations and movies alone, which has also made it lasting and difficult to be forgotten. After the robot model is sold in the future, the robot model in the future will basically only be better and better, and earn a lot of profits for it. Just imagine that Zhao Chen will let it go. Once it misses, it will be too late to regret it.
"Mr. Tono, I'm quite sincere in coming this time. What do you think of the price?" Zhao Chen said, taking out a check from his pocket and put it on the coffee table in front of Tono Yuyuki.
Yuyuji Tono swallowed a saliva. Although he didn't know the amount on the check in front of him, he thought it should be quite good. Although Yuyuji Tono gained fame in the past two years, that's just fame. His salary is not much higher than other animation directors of the Rising Animation Club. He only earned millions in a year, and the premise is still Japanese yen. This is actually a high salary in the Rising Animation Club.
After all, a directing animation often takes a lot of time, from a few years or two to several years. In addition to directing and supervising an animation, there are also various talents to obtain technicians, operators, voice actors, copyrights, music, etc. The costs of various machines are also a big expense, and these all require money. In order to save costs, salary must be controlled, otherwise if the cost is too high, the chance of losing money will undoubtedly increase.
"100 million!" After spreading the check, I looked at the pile of Arabic numerals with zeros on it. Yuyuyuki Tono's eyes widened, counting several zeros in his heart. When counting, the hands holding the check couldn't help but tremble even more, and his heart was pounding. His eyes were staring at the string of zeros on it, and his lips were dry and revealed a number, and then it was yen!
According to the exchange ratio between Hong Kong dollars and Japanese yen in this era, 100 million yen is equivalent to millions of Hong Kong dollars, but it depends on the person. The current salary and bonus of Futu in a year are only ten million yen, which is equivalent to his ten-year income. Of course, this is calculated on the premise that his salary has not increased.
But even so, this is a huge sum of money for Yuyuki Toyono. At least his total assets are not so much, which is naturally fatal to him. There is no way, most people attach great importance to money, especially when money reaches a certain level.
"This, let me think about it!" Yuyuji Tono swallowed a hard saliva, but he still reluctantly put the check in his hand back to Zhao Chen. He knew very well that as long as he accepted this check, Risheng Animation Club would definitely not be able to spare him, and it would be quite normal to drive him out. In addition, "Mobile Suit Gundam" triggered a craze in animation history after all, and Zhao Chen came to acquire it personally this time, which means that "Mobile Suit Gundam" still has huge potential but has not been developed.
Zhao Chen smiled on his face, and with Yuyuji Tono's expression of pain, he took back the check. But what surprised Futu was that he took out another check from his other pocket.
"Mr. Tono, this is the highest price I can pay!" Zhao Chen said this and pushed the check back to the coffee table in front of Tono Yuyuki.
Yuyuki Tono's breathing became heavier than before, but when he spread the check, his expression changed rapidly and became extremely ugly.
"Ten thousand yen!"
When Yuyuji Toyono spit out this number a little viciously, Zhao Chen slapped his head, pretending to be embarrassed, and said, "Sorry, sorry, I took it wrong, Mr. Toyono, please forgive me!"
Zhao Chen then took out another one from the pocket, then pretended to read it seriously, and handed it to Yuyuji Toyono again.
Zhao Chen did this on purpose, but it was not used to make fun of Futu, but to make up and down in his heart. Only in this way can the hope of success be greatly increased.
Before Futu took it, he took a deep breath to suppress the excitement and excitement in his heart. Like most people, he also likes money.
This time he was not disappointed, because the total amount of this check reached 200 million yen, which doubled the amount, which also surprised Yuyuji Toyono at the financial resources of Zhao Chen and his heart was also ups and downs, because on the other hand, the potential of "Mobile Suit Gundam" is not ordinary, which also made Futu unable to make up his mind. He wanted to get this huge sum at one time, but he also felt that "Mobile Suit Gundam" might give him more returns in the future. This is like the difference between depositing a bank and investing, but the latter has a considerable risk.
Unfortunately, Yuyuji Tono was overthinking it. It is true that he owns the copyright of "Mobile Suit Gundam", but Yuyuji Tono doesn't have any related companies under him, and the money is far from enough, so there is no possibility of independent creation. Not only that, because Risheng Animation has produced before, Risheng Animation also holds a small part of the copyright of "Mobile Suit Gundam", so Yuyuji Tono doesn't have that opportunity at all.
"Mr. Tono, you can rest assured that I will not disclose it regardless of whether this matter succeeds or not. As long as Mr. Tono agrees, he can come to my animation company as an animation director or supervisor to ensure that you will be treated better!"
