Wanbao’s Spring Festival holiday this year will be a few days earlier than its peers, with the holiday starting on the 20th of the twelfth lunar month.

the reason is simple.

The great Director Gu conducted a survey and asked everyone for their opinions on the benefits of Spring Festival goods. Should they issue shopping coupons or physical gift cards?

As a result, everyone unanimously requested that the company no longer distribute new year goods. If I really want everyone to have a good New Year, then let’s take the holiday in advance!

Some people's hometowns are far away. If you go home during the Spring Festival, you have to queue for a long time just to buy air tickets, and you may not be able to buy them.

Compared with various unrealistic and impractical Spring Festival benefits, early vacation is the most practical. At least everyone will sincerely thank Director Gu.

This makes sense.

After discussing it with Lao Zhang, Gu Miao felt that since this was the unanimous request of the employees, she would take advantage of the situation and satisfy them.

Originally, the Wanbao Group's Spring Festival holiday dates were synchronized with those of enterprises and institutions, that is, they were held on the 26th and 27th of the twelfth lunar month.

But this year it’s a week earlier.

Don’t underestimate this week. Having a holiday so many days in advance is enough for everyone to buy air tickets home and avoid the peak Spring Festival travel period.

"Great!"

The employees all cheered when they received the notice of early vacation.

This kind of Spring Festival benefit is much better than the big gift packages of rice, grains and oils, or the shopping vouchers and gift cards.

After all, working in Wanbao, everyone's salary and bonus are quite high, so few people really appreciate this small profit.

Compared with these impractical things, people who have been busy all year would like to take a few days to spend with their families, get together with friends, and have a good rest at home.

"Then it's settled."

"Not only this year, we will have a holiday at this time every year in the future, giving everyone enough time to take a vacation." Gu Miao made a decision.

Their line of work is not a physical manufacturing industry, so having a few days of holiday early for the Spring Festival will have no impact at all.

In this case, let’s just make a rule that the holiday will be on the 20th of the twelfth lunar month every year, and the Spring Festival holiday will be extended by five days.

certainly!

Not everyone can take a vacation. Of course, ordinary employees have no problem and can go home when they need to. The same goes for animators, original animators, etc. who have no urgent tasks at hand.

However, the financial department and copyright operation and management department cannot take a holiday for the time being.

Because at the end of the year, debt collection becomes the biggest headache for the financial director and his subordinates.

Wanbao has many IPs!

These IPs will be authorized by Wanbao, and those authorized companies will settle IP commissions monthly or quarterly in accordance with the contract.

for example!

A clothing factory in Guancheng has obtained the official authorization of the "Digimon" IP to produce clothes with animated characters printed on them.

According to the contract, Wanbao will charge a licensing fee of 5 yuan for every piece of clothing produced with the copyrighted pattern of "Digimon" printed on it.

Remember, it’s production, not sales!

What does this mean?

What this means is that you have to pay money when the goods are produced. Whether you can sell them or not has nothing to do with Wanbao. Anyway, you will pay the IP licensing fee as much as you produce.

This method also creates a problem, that is, many authorized companies produce a large amount of IP peripherals and end up with a backlog in the warehouse that has not yet been sold.

They have not received payment, and their cash flow is in jeopardy, but Wanbao is asking for money again, and will not let you sell if you don't pay...

As a result, many authorized companies have chosen to default on the balance due to insufficient cash flow, preferring to pay a liquidated damages rather than settle Wanbao's licensing fees.

"Isn't this just an old guy?"

Coco was knitting a sweater and asked in confusion: "If you don't pay them, why don't you sue them?"

"No, the nature is different."

"They are not scumbags. They will also pay the liquidated damages stipulated in the contract, but they really can't come up with the money. It's useless even if you sell the factory to them."

Gu Miao said helplessly: "For an authorized company like this that can't get any money out of its account and still has a large number of unsold goods, if you don't let it sell the goods, then no one will get the money."

"Generally when encountering this kind of situation, we charge a penalty first, and then urge them to clear out the backlog of inventory as soon as possible, and settle the accounts all at once at the end of the year."

That's how business is done.

If ordinary people think about it, if they encounter this kind of thing, they will definitely file a lawsuit without saying a word and go through the legal process.

Gu Miao thought this way before.

But after more experience, he can understand the difficulties faced by some small businesses. He took the garment factory in Guancheng as an example.

They didn't do anything wrong, it's just that the market is really bad this year and the clothing business is not doing well, so they can't sell their inventory.

If, without saying a word, you directly define the other party as an old person who "will not pay back money" and force the other party to go bankrupt, then it would be a pity to be honest.

"Then how do you tell who is really in trouble and who is the real bastard who has money and refuses to pay it back?" Coco asked curiously.

"It's very simple!"

"If there is really a difficulty, he will not object to the liquidated damages and will actively negotiate with us for subsequent solutions."

Gu Miao smiled and said: "As for Lao Lai, will he take the initiative to pay liquidated damages? Will he actively negotiate and communicate solutions?"

One yard owned by a yard.

When encountering authorized companies that are really in difficulty, Wanbao will not push them too hard, and will even take the initiative to help them sell their overstocked inventory at the official flagship store and clear their accounts before the end of the year.

The end of the year is the final line.

If you exceed this limit, it doesn't matter whether you are really in difficulty or fake. Wanbao's legal department is not a vegetarian. It will directly issue a Hex ultimatum and wait for death if you don't pay.

This is why other Wanbao employees have gone home one after another during the holidays, and employees in the legal, financial and IP management and operation departments are still working overtime right now.

Wanbao's outstanding balance this year is as much as 7.8 billion.

If such a large amount of money cannot be recovered, it will definitely not work, so Gu Miao gave a death order to the Ministry of Justice and must get back more than 70% of the balance.

Treat the rest as bad debt and wait for the court auction later.

Speaking of the final payment, Gu Miao immediately thought of the pile of houses, cars and toys under the company's name that were used to pay off debts, and her expression was speechless.

The most classic example is the owner of a Binhai toy factory. When faced with Wanbao's financial staff, he immediately slapped the real estate deed on the table and said that if anything happened to his factory, he could only use this as payment.

What to do?

Although it is a bit unreasonable, since people can't come up with the money, they can only make do with writing it off.

There are also some people who simply use the goods to offset the balance and let Wanbao go to the warehouse to pull the goods. They can take away as much as they can. They have everything from clothing, electrical appliances, plush toys.

"Otherwise, where do you think the groceries sold in our Wanbao official online store come from?"

The more Gu Miao thought about it, the angrier she became.

Wanbao's official flagship store has a wide variety of products, ranging from keychains to refrigerator magnets, to air conditioners, refrigerators, washing machines, snacks, daily use, car bedding, and even adult products.

These cannot all be produced by Wanbao itself, only a small part of the core peripherals are produced, and the rest are inventory pulled from major authorized companies to offset the final payment.

All I can say is outrageous!

Here I would like to focus on criticizing the movable inflatable doll of Bald Strong produced by an authorized company. The product manager is simply a weirdo, and he actually thought of using "Bald Strong" to make this kind of product.

Now it's broken, and the product is backlogged and cannot be sold. Wanbao brought back a batch, but it also cannot be sold...

That thing has been hanging in the Wanbao flagship store for more than a year, and the sales volume has only been 5 orders so far. Gu Miao sometimes doubts that Teacher Nantong is not among the customers of these 5 orders, right?

…

This year is the Year of the Dog!

In order to cater to this zodiac sign, Keke and Gu Miao decided to raise a puppy after discussing it.

I haven’t decided on the specific variety yet.

With Gu Miao's worth, he can afford to keep even the rarest dog, but he has to consider the type of dog that Xiao Sensen likes. The most important thing is that his son likes it.

In the end, Xiao Sensen spent a long time choosing, and actually chose the most common and common Chuan Chuan native dog in rural areas, which was a bit beyond Gu Miao's expectation.

The puppy was brought from the countryside.

I originally planned to go to the pet store to buy one, but the ones they sold there were all kinds of expensive varieties, and there was nothing that Xiao Sensen wanted.

So Gu Miao specially asked someone to get a "little yellow" born from "big yellow" from the countryside.

Xiao Sensen named him "Wangcai", which was very rustic but somehow suited the puppy. Anyway, his son was happy with it, but Gu Miao didn't say anything.

Although he originally thought of naming the puppy "Magui"...

New year, new atmosphere!

Gu Miao, who was rarely able to relax, decided to take her whole family to the cinema to support Hou Bin's "The Dog Lai Fu Wang" on the first day of the new year.

This is the sixth major film in the "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" zodiac series and the second animated film produced by Wanbao Pictures after its establishment.

"Six years have passed in a flash!"

Thinking back to the original "Snake Comes Around", Gu Miao couldn't help but sigh: "I thought it would take a long, long time to finish all the twelve zodiac signs, but it turned out that half of it was done in the blink of an eye..."
To be continued...
