Mr. Tan was very angry.

Gu Miao also knew that he was angry, but it was a one-size-fits-all deal. Any animation company would not be able to avoid this advertising fee.

Don't ask why...

The question is that Mr. Tan's investment in "Moonlight Is Beautiful" is out of his own pocket, while the live software's advertising placement is a "public account" to connect with the software company.

Keep public and private affairs separate, Gu Sanshui!

If it weren't for this advertising fee, why would he have worked so hard to deceive Mr. Tan into engaging in "advertising placement"?

"I'm furious."

Mr. Tan was furious and scolded Gu Miao for not being loyal enough. He spent 100 million to make animations for Wanbao, but he couldn't even give him an advertising space?

"You can't say that!"

Gu Miao said aggrievedly: "Then your company also has other people's shares, which are not your private property. I don't know the other shareholders, so why should I give them free advertising?"

Mr. Tan: "..."

That makes sense.

Although he is the founder and chairman of the company, after several rounds of financing and listing of the company, he, the chairman, only holds more than 30 shares.

Gu Miao's request for advertising fees may sound "unhuman", but it is indeed a reasonable request.

"Okay, I'll have someone contact you later. It's whatever the price is, and you don't need to give me a 20% discount..."

"That won't work!"

Gu Miao said righteously: "Who among us is following whom? If we agree on 20% off, then it will be 20% off. It is absolutely impossible to do such a thing as raising the price first and then giving you a discount."

Hey Hey hey!

You said it all!

Mr. Tan said speechlessly: "I underestimated you! If I had known you were so shameless, I shouldn't have collaborated with you on "The Moon Is Beautiful"."

"If you don't look for me, who else can you look for?"

"Besides Wanbao Animation, are there any animation companies in China that can meet your requirements and produce animations like "The Moon Is So Beautiful"?" Gu Miao said proudly.

This statement has the element of "bragging".

But one thing is undeniable, that is, in the domestic animation industry, Wanbao Animation is truly "invincible", and it is not an exaggeration to say that "I am alone in defeat".

In terms of scale, it ranks first in the country!

In terms of output value, it ranks first in the country!

On works...

"Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" has made domestic counterparts breathless for nearly two years. "Sailor Moon", a phenomenon-level global hot animation, is even more unthinkable.

Therefore, Gu Miao has the confidence to say this.

Mr. Tan also admitted that Wanbao Animation was indeed his best choice. Without cooperation with Wanbao Animation, there really would be no other domestic animation company that could meet the requirements.

Because of this, he also changed his mind.

While Gu Miao was busy preparing the animation production team of "The Moon Is So Beautiful" and selecting suitable voice actors, Mr. Tan visited him in Jiangchuan for the second time.

and made a suggestion.

"Do you want to invest in Wanbao?"

Gu Miao looked at Mr. Tan in surprise, wondering why he, an Internet entrepreneur, wanted to invest in an "animation" company like Wanbao?

The two businesses are not related, right?

What's more, if he had made this suggestion a year earlier, Gu Miao might have considered it. After all, he was really short of money at that time.

but now……

By annexing Feiyang Animation, Wanbao has firmly established itself as the top domestic animation company. Now if he wants to invest in shares, let alone whether Gu Miao is willing or not, can he afford so much money?

The valuation of Wanbao Animation is not high.

Before the animations "Sailor Moon" and "Happy Baby" were aired, and before Feiyang Animation was annexed, well-known financial media valued Wanbao Group at 2 billion yuan as a whole.

But a year later, Wanbao's valuation had reached an astonishing "9 billion."

Most of the increase comes from the global viewing frenzy of the anime "Sailor Moon" and the particularly eye-catching sales data of Wanbao toys.

To be honest, this valuation is not much different from Gu Miao's psychological expectations.

Wanbao Animation is only eight to nine billion levels.

But even so...

Wanbao is not a small business anymore. If you want to invest in shares, you have to pay at least a premium, right? Including the premium, can Mr. Tan get so much money?

It's not that Gu Miao looks down on others.

Although the outside world, including various wealth lists, Mr. Tan's net worth has always been over 10 billion, and occasionally even exceeds 40 to 50 billion.

But those are all "stocks".

Unless he sells his stocks, where will Mr. Tan get more than one billion and two billion in cash? Don't mistake "stock value" for "actual value"!

"You don't have to worry about money."

Mr. Tan said calmly: "As long as you are willing to sell the shares, I guarantee that you can get so much money, and you will not pay in installments."

"That's not OK."

Faced with this temptation, although Gu Miao was a little tempted, she still shook her head firmly and said: "I just want to make animations properly, and I don't want investors to interfere in the operation and point fingers at me..."

"I can guarantee that I will not interfere with the company's operations. It is purely financial investment. You just need to pay me dividends on time."

"Mr. Tan!"

When Gu Miao heard this, she couldn't help complaining: "Since Wanbao was founded, there has been no dividends. As a boss, I have never received a salary, and I have never withdrawn funds from the company account."

Ah this...

Mr. Tan looked at Gu Miao in surprise, as if meeting this person for the first time, and couldn't help but ask: "You make so much money, don't you have any ideas to improve the quality of your life?"

"My life is pretty good!"

Gu Miao took out her mobile phone and showed off her big villa to Mr. Tan: "Isn't this house beautiful? I paid for it for free!"

Absolutely amazing!

I feel like I've met a genius.

Mr. Tan looked at Gu Miao with admiration. He did not expect that this man, worth at least several billion, could have such a simple daily life.

The house was purchased for free, and the car... I didn't even buy the car. I had three meals a day in the company cafeteria, and I usually like to drink instant coffee...

At this time, Mr. Tan really wanted to ask.

If he does this, what is the point of making money? Is it not to improve the quality of life, but to simply accumulate wealth?

"That's not true!"

"It doesn't matter whether it's money or not. In fact, I don't even know how much money I made."

Gu Miao waved her hand and said, "I just enjoy the physical and mental pleasure of creating a successful animation work myself."

wack!

A complete weirdo!

Mr. Tan suddenly understood why this man had gone from an unknown worker to a leader in domestic animation in just two years.

With this kind of mentality, what kind of career can't be successful?

It's just a pity.

Encountering such a role model in the industry who "doesn't care about oil and salt", his idea of ​​investing in Wanbao was completely out of the question.

no way!

In other companies, as long as he is willing to spend money, he can always negotiate a shareholding. But with Gu Miao as the boss of Wanbao, it is not something that can be solved by "money".

After all, what people pursue is not money at all, but a sense of accomplishment. If you use money to talk to him, isn't that deliberately humiliating him?
