Chapter 582 If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools(2/3)

"The boss is a Silicon Valley upstart. He has been burning for five or six years but has not made any money. Can you make money by taking over it? And-" Tao Yushu stopped talking.

"And what?"

Tao Yushu hesitated for a moment and said bluntly: "The boss of that company is a racist and discriminates against Chinese people. He gave Microsoft a quotation of $140 million. Joe went to contact him, and he said it was less than $180 million to be free of negotiations."

Tao Yushu said this and sneered, "Microsoft gave him a quotation of $90 million! He really treated us as a sucker."

Tao Yumo smiled and said, "Don't act irritatingly, business is business, and feelings are emotions."

"Okay, then I'll talk about business. Do you think this company is valuable because they have strong strength in animation, right?

But now we are working with Shanghai Film Studios, so there is no need to spend huge amounts of money to invest in such a bottomless pit."

Tao Yumo shook her hand, "No, no, no, different. The technical strength of Shanghai Film Studios is outstanding, but their creative methods are still in the handicraft era. In contrast, Hollywood animation companies are more in line with the trend of the times."

"Spend $200 million to catch up with the trend? With $200 million, can't we build an animation company?"

In the face of Tao Yushu's questioning, Tao Yumo was not busy, "As far as I know, the strength of that company is not just animation. The image computer and computer animation production system they developed have also become very famous in the past two years, even the six major Hollywood cities.

It's their customer."

Tao Yushu looked at her sister deeply. Your homework was really detailed.

Tao Yumo raised his eyebrows, with a hint of pride in his expression.

"Whether the image computer or the computer animation production system are all development and creation tools. Having good tools does not mean that there are good works, nor does it mean that there are profits. Do I need me to teach you this principle?"

"If you want to do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools. Don't you understand this principle?"

Speaking of this, the two sisters looked at each other and showed their sharpness.

After confronting each other for a moment, Tao Yushu had no choice but to give in and sighed, "I said that the company will be handed over to you sooner or later, are you so eager to be the leader?"

Tao Yumo crossed her legs and was full of confidence, "I am not going to be the leader, I can't watch the company go further and further on the wrong path!"

Tao Yushu was so angry that she laughed at her. She had been running a company with a booming performance for several years. She almost turned into a decaying Qing Dynasty in her mouth.

"What you mean is, do I have to acquire that company?"

"It's not that you have to acquire, but that you have to complement the industry."

Seeing that Tao Yushu's mouth softened, Tao Yumo immediately sat down and leaned forward slightly.

"Sister, on the one hand, we can quickly enhance the company's animation development strength, and on the other hand, we can also contribute to the special effects strength of Lin's Pictures.

The new visual studio you acquired a few years ago is okay to deal with the weird and weird movies of Hong Kong, but compared with blockbusters like "Terminator 2", the gap cannot be made up.

And I think the most important thing is, don’t you think the current internal atmosphere of Yulang’s organization is a bit wrong?”

"Why is it wrong?" Tao Yushu asked.

"The company's comics have basically dominated the Hong Kong, Wandao and Southeast Asian markets, and the mainland market is also constantly developing, which is certainly a pleasure.

However, important markets such as Japan and North America have not grown significantly in the past two years.

The comics published in the United States are sold for more than 200,000 copies, and some people are about to jump up and be excited.

I have read information from the American comics market, and it will be considered successful only if their new comics sell more than 40 square volumes.

Last year, the first issue of "X Special Attack Team" was launched, with sales of nearly 4 million copies.

After all, Xiangjiang's market size is too small, and everyone will be satisfied as long as they achieve some achievements overseas.

But I think this may be a very dangerous signal. Once we fall into a state of self-sufficiency, the entire company will lose its vitality."

Tao Yumo's words were somewhat alarmist, but they did make Tao Yushu feel attentive.

But she still said rationally: "What's the relationship between these two things? Don't exaggerate it!"

"I'm not exaggerating, I'm discussing the spirit and corporate culture of the company. We can't just be a local rich man!

The ACG industry is very universal, and we can fully develop based on the scale of multinational companies. The company's situation is still too stable.

To put it bluntly, I am simply content with the status quo and not enterprising!"

Upon hearing this, Tao Yushu's face was a little hot.

In the past two years, she has devoted herself to several other companies. In addition, she is not very interested in the business of Yulang's organization. Later, she gradually became a monk and a bell.

This is also the reason why Lin Chaoyang immediately agreed to Tao Yumo after he proposed to take over Yulang's agency.

Nothing better than a sister!

Tao Yumo looked like her sister, knowing that she had been shaken, and immediately said, "Actually, have you not noticed it? The business of comics is still too traditional and is not enough to support the rapid development of a large company.

If the Yulang organization wants to develop better, it must break the rules."

Tao Yushu really wanted to hear what "break the rules" happened when her sister said, but she knew that she could not continue listening, otherwise she would be brainwashed by her sister.

Moreover, she felt that her sister's tone was a little familiar, which made her think of the words Lin Chaoyang had sometimes said to her by her pillow.

She thought those ideas were good, but a person's energy was limited after all. She was used to the sense of security that everything was in control, so she was inevitably plagued by tedious things.

Thinking of this, Tao Yushu couldn't help but start to reflect on himself.

"Okay, let me think about this!"

Before Tao Yumo could finish her work, she was blocked by Tao Yushu. She was still a little unsatisfied, "Then you think about it quickly!"

After seeing Tao Yumo off, Tao Yushu held his cheek with his hands, his eyebrows were light and his face showed a thoughtful look.

"Dong!"

A gentle impact sound came from the door, Tao Yushu's thoughts were interrupted, his brows furrowed, and he looked straight at the door.

Seeing that there was no movement at the door, she impatiently pressed the phone button on the table.

"Come in!"

The voice was cold, neither happy nor angry, but someone on the other end of the phone was already trembling.

More than ten seconds later, a knock on the door sounded. Wu Meizhen's face turned pale, her shoulders slightly raised, and her neck tightly shrank, as if she wanted to make herself as small as possible and avoid the coming danger.

"Madam Lin!"

Tao Yushu's eyes looked straight at her, with sharp eyes.

Wu Meizhen's eyes were vague, like two lanterns that could be extinguished at any time in the cold wind. Her pupils contracted violently, revealing a deep fear as if they met natural enemies.

Seeing Tao Yushu's eyes narrowed and revealing danger signals, she was even more frightened and lowered her head.

The acquisition of the American animation company was just a simple intention at the time, because it was not promoted. Except for Joe Silvo, the contact person, only Wu Meizhen, the personal assistant, knew about it.

"Madam Lin, I'm sorry!"

From the time the second boss entered the boss's office, Wu Meizhen knew that she was finished.

If such a confidential matter is leaked, even if it does not cause any losses, the boss may not be able to avoid her.

The sound of the door just now was made by her, wanting to eavesdrop on whether the boss got angry.

"If I don't call you, are you going to continue to pretend to be stupid?" Tao Yushu asked coldly after hearing Wu Meizhen's words.

Wu Meizhen looked panicked, "No, no, I just wanted to admit my mistake to you, that is, "What is it?"

Wu Meizhen cried with a sad face, "I'm scared!"

Tao Yushu's face pulled down.

Realizing that he had said something wrong, Wu Meizhen quickly changed her words: "Madame Lin, I don't mean that I mean that I did something wrong, I--."

Tao Yushu waved his hand impatiently, and Wu Meizhen was so scared that she immediately said, standing there like a quail, waiting for Tao Yushu's hair to fall.

"After this month, you can go and follow Yumo!"

Hearing this, Wu Meizhen received an amnesty and immediately reacted.

Spicy pills!

Being sent to the frontier!

"Madam Lin, don't! I have been following you since I joined the company. My loyalty can be seen-----"

Wu Meizhen's eyes were filled with tears and begging with a crying voice.

"Shut up!" Tao Yushu interrupted her cry, "You can reveal such a confidential matter, what else can I let you do?"

"Madam Lin, I really didn't mean it. They are all-"

Wu Meizhen's mouth almost turned into a platypus, with the boss on one side and the second boss on the other side, and she can't afford to offend anyone!

Tao Yushu snorted coldly, "I'm not stupid yet!"

Seeing that Tao Yushu's tone seemed to slow down, Wu Meizhen thought that things would turn around, "Teacher Lin——"

"Nothing is useful. Next month, you will follow Yumo. If there is another mistake, don't want to work. I remember you just changed to a mansion in the Mid-mountain last year, right?"

Wu Meizhen shrank her neck. The half-mountain mansion cost her nearly 3 million yuan, and now she still has a loan of 1 million yuan.

She immediately understood what Tao Yushu meant. If she lost her job, how could she pay the mortgage?

The workers are really miserable!

"Madam Lin, I'm wrong. I'll follow the second lady now. She told me to go east, but I will never go west!" Wu Meizhen raised her hand and sweared.
