Hello, 1983

The latest website: When Liu Qingshan returned to the original hotel to pick up things, it was already dark.

Including Xiao Su, those waiters were still a little bit reluctant to give up. In the past few days, they all showed their feelings.

Seeing that the manager was not present, Liu Qingshan happily wrote a note to them.

"Our company is going to set up a branch here, specializing in the production of instant noodles and ham sausages. If you are willing to go to work in the factory, you can take this note to Mr. Yang, and you will definitely be given priority."

The big cities these days are all overcrowded, and it's easiest to recruit workers, especially jobs that don't require skills, and there's no shortage of people.

"Uniform Foods."

Looking at the name on the note, Xiao Su couldn't help but think of the braised beef noodles in the TV commercial.

It's just that what they sell here is a certain chef's brand of braised beef noodles, which tastes good.

She has a classmate from junior high school who works in that factory. I heard that it is a foreign-funded enterprise, and the salary is higher than that of ordinary factories. She can't help but be moved.

The next day, Liu Qingshan had to go to Shangmei Factory. As for his family, he asked his mother and the others to lead his grandfather to Yuyuan Garden.

My grandfather was paralyzed for many years and had no chance to visit Yu Garden.

The fourth and fifth were originally to follow, but this time Liu Qingshan was meeting with the factory leaders, so he did not lead them.

When I came to the entrance of Shangmei Factory again, I saw Director Dai dressed neatly and waiting for him with Lao Zhoutou under the shade of a tree.

As soon as they met, the two old men said excitedly: "Qingshan, we walked around the community last night and found more than 20 old guys, all of them experienced masters."

Liu Qingshan is also very happy: although he is older, he has rich experience, and it will definitely be no problem to bring apprentices when the time comes.

The three of them were walking and chatting, and when they entered the factory, they were led by these two old workers, so it was naturally unobstructed.

All the way to the factory director's office, I soon met the factory director Yan, and there was the old factory director in the room, who is now a consultant.

This is amazing, the little tadpoles that were filmed back then were looking for their mother,

Mudi and other ink animations are all well-known and can be described as classics.

Seeing Liu Qingshan's overly young face, Director Yan thought it was the grandchildren of the two old men, and went to the back door to arrange work.

So he said with a smile: "Old Dai, Old Zhou, if there are people involved, you don't need to speak up. Our factory is overcrowded now."

After he finished speaking, he also gave Dai a meaningful look: "Old Dai, you should know best that there are more than 20 newly graduated directors idle."

Lao Dai's retirement was actually somewhat related to this.

Dai Dao put his hands on his glasses and said solemnly, "Old Yan, if you find it troublesome to have too many people, you can deal with them all to us."

Then he raised his hand to introduce Liu Qingshan: "This is Comrade Liu Qingshan from Qingshan Animation Company, who came to our factory to discuss cooperation."

Hearing this, Director Yan was a little surprised, and then stepped forward to shake hands with Liu Qingshan: "Welcome."

Old Zhou Tou introduced Director Sheng again, and after a while, he took a seat.

A young man came over to pour tea, and everyone started chatting. Director Yan first asked about the basic situation of Qingshan Animation Company.

Liu Qingshan didn't hide it, it explained that they were going to set up an animation department to make animations.

Director Yan understood as soon as he heard it, and couldn't help laughing: "It turns out that you really poached people, Lao Dai Lao Zhou, you have already been poached, right?"

Director Sheng also pushed down his glasses with his hand: "I'm afraid you can't dig the regular employees in the factory."

This is also something that can't be done. The concept is like this, and it can't be changed in a while, so Liu Qingshan is not in a hurry, let's do it step by step.

So he said with a smile, "Old Sheng, there are many ways to cooperate. You can also outsource it. That is, we provide the script of the cartoon, and then contract it to Shanghai American Factory for production, and compensate part of the production fee."

When factory manager Yan heard this, his eyes lit up immediately. Last year, the Shanghai American factory implemented reforms and explored a new development path.

But in the end, it is better to change the soup instead of the medicine. If this kind of cooperation is adopted, it will make a steady profit without losing money, and you can study it well.

Liu Qingshan also opened the chat box: "Our Qingshan Animation was established in the island country, and we are going to set up a branch in China, and then promote our excellent domestic animation to foreign countries."

"Just like the gourd brothers who are about to be made, you can test the water."

As soon as the two leaders heard it, they became more interested: "Comrade Liu, how do you promote it?"

If you can really sell the copyright abroad, it will be a lot of income, and it will be foreign exchange.

Liu Qingshan had also made plans for a long time: "Our idea is that Qingshan Animation will buy out the animations of your factory."

That's it, it's pretty simple, and it's a guaranteed win.

Regardless of whether Qingshan Animation made a loss or made a profit after buying it, there was no loss when they went to the US factory.

The two leaders looked at each other and agreed in their hearts. After all, life is not easy now, and the factory really needs funds.

If you have money, you will dare to apply for shooting projects with your superiors. Otherwise, if you just rely on your superiors for funding, you will not be able to get a few projects that year.

Director Yan pondered for a while, but in the end he was cheeky and asked Lin Qingshan: "Liu, since we are talking about business, then I will also ask, what price and how much for a copy of Qingshan Animation?"

One book is the standard ten-minute animation. At that time, even CCTV and imported cartoons cost a few hundred to several thousand yuan.

Liu Qingshan smiled: "Our Qingshan Animation has not been established for a long time, so the price will definitely not be too high."

The two leaders looked at each other again: mosquito legs are also meat.

At this time, the old man Zhou coughed lightly: "As for this matter, Mr. Liu also told us yesterday, take Lao Dai's black cat sheriff as an example, Qingshan Animation is willing to offer 200,000 yuan for a buyout. "

This old man definitely did it on purpose. Seeing Director Yan holding the teacup, he reported the figure of 200,000 yuan.

As expected, Director Yan's hand holding the teacup shook violently, and the tea inside spilled out, splashing all over his hands and pants.

But he couldn't care about this, put down the teacup, and stood up in a rush: "How much did you say?"

The old man Zhou happily stretched out two fingers: "200,000."

Director Yan was dumbfounded standing there, and the old man Zhou shook his finger in front of him: "Old Yan, your heart is not very good, but don't get too excited."

"Don't be silly."

Only then did Director Yan regain his senses, pulling Old Man Zhou's fingers aside, and then facing Liu Qingshan: "Mr. Liu, is this true?"

If they really had the 200,000 yuan, their factory would be able to start construction immediately, and it would be no problem to make two or three cartoons together.

Just now, he and Director Sheng were doing research together. They were worried about the cost of filming. Unexpectedly, someone would send money to the door in a blink of an eye. This is like a pie in the sky.

At the time, it was relatively cheap to shoot movies or TV shows.

Just like the 86th edition of Journey to the West, the first 15 episodes cost only 3 million.

Actors' remuneration is even lower. Brother Monkey is the most valuable, only 70 yuan per episode. Can you believe this?

This is still filming TV dramas, costumes and props, and people eat horses. As for filming cartoons, it is cheaper.

Liu Qingshan smiled and nodded towards Director Yan: "But the 200,000 yuan is a full buyout of the entire animation, including copyright, adaptation rights, shooting of sequels and peripherals, etc."

"Let's put it this way, it is equivalent to this cartoon, and it will belong to our Qingshan Animation Company in the future."

This time, the two leaders also understood, and Director Sheng pointed at Director Dai: "Okay, old Dai, I said why you are so active, it turns out that you are holding back and want to continue shooting the black cat sheriff!"

Director Dai also laughed, this cartoon has become his heart disease.

And Director Yan also frowned, this kind of thing is still relatively sensitive, it is equivalent to selling state property.

And the most important thing is that there is no such precedent before. If it doesn't work, he will take responsibility.

Therefore, this matter must be reported to the superior, and a factory leadership meeting must be held to study a charter first.

Thinking of this, he couldn't sit still immediately: "Mr. Liu, let's discuss it first, do you think?"

Liu Qingshan smiled: "Director Yan, don't be in a hurry, what we need is not a black cat sheriff."

The old man Zhou also smiled and stretched out a slap in front of Director Yan: "Brother Hulu, 500,000 buyout!"

what!

Director Yan covered his chest with his hands, this time he really felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

Consultant Sheng was also shocked and muttered, "When did cartoons become so valuable..."

In this era, the economic benefits of cartoons have not been fully developed, and things like adaptation rights and peripherals are not valued at all.

On the island country, a complete industrial chain has gradually formed, so the income of cartoonists is so high.

The price that Liu Qingshan offered, now it seems, is indeed a bit scary.

But this kind of classic animation can be bought out by 500,000 yuan, which is simply a profit.

There is no need to talk about shooting a sequel in the future, even if it is casually selling portrait rights to those manufacturers, it will be more than this number.

Even if there are more pirated copies, there are still genuine licenses.

After a long time, the two leaders of Shangmei Factory recovered from their shock. The two looked at each other again, and their minds were made up.

A meeting of the factory leaders must be held immediately to settle this matter, and then they will go to the top to run the relationship together. In any case, they must also facilitate this matter!

Director Yan gave Liu Qingshan a deep look, he could not understand this young man at all now.

Is this money and no place to spend it?

But he can't think of it now anyway, that Qingshan animation is the only way to make a steady profit.

At this time, Director Sheng spoke again: "Mr. Liu, if you still have any big money, just say it. Don't worry, we two old guys can still handle it."

Because of their age, they always called Liu Qingshan Xiao Liu.

At this moment, the title has become President Liu.

Huge interests have told them to ignore Liu Qingshan's age.

Liu Qingshan followed and said, "Elder Sheng, what I liked to watch the most when I was a child was the little tadpoles you photographed looking for their mother."

Dai Dai next to him pushed down his glasses: Didn't you say yesterday that you were the black cat sheriff?

However, he didn't open his mouth and continued to listen to Liu Qingshan say: "In the past few years, foreign cartoons have poured in, and our domestic animations seem to be a bit unstoppable."

Director Sheng's face immediately became serious. As an animator, he certainly didn't want this to happen.

But in reality, what can he do?

Domestic animations pay attention to slow work and meticulous work. In terms of quality, they are no worse than foreign animations, or even much higher.

But why can't they compete with others?

Liu Qingshan also stood up from his seat: "Now that TVs are becoming more and more popular, if our children grow up watching foreign cartoons, what will be the impact?"

Director Sheng's brows furrowed unconsciously. Of course, he also thought about this question.

He looked at Liu Qingshan solemnly, and now he finally realized that the young man in front of him was definitely not just throwing money away on a whim.

But for this line, like his love, the same worry.

In an instant, Director Sheng felt a sense of confidant towards this young man who was several decades younger than him.

One confidant in life is enough!

Director Sheng made a decision in an instant.

Only listening to Liu Qingshan's voice continued: "That's why we have to unite, before we are left too far behind, catch up, make our domestic animation bigger and stronger, and carry forward it."

These words were so loud that everyone in the room could not help but be refreshed.

They have all lived in Shangmei Factory for most of their lives, and they also have an incomparable love for this industry.

"Mr. Liu, the seat of the factory manager should really be given to you." Director Yan also sighed.

Liu Qingshan waved his hands again and again: "If it were me, I would definitely be better than you. There are too many constraints and too many restrictions. Who else can really show off?"

Everyone nodded vigorously, agreeing that within the system, there are too many rules and regulations.

"It seems that it is reasonable for the country to vigorously develop the private economy." Director Yan was even more deeply touched.

Liu Qingshan took over the words: "It can be considered that each has its own advantages and disadvantages, so the country allows multiple systems to coexist."

At this time, Director Sheng suddenly said, "Mr. Liu, I have an unkind request. Can I join you in Qingshan Anime?"

ah?

Everyone in the room was stunned for a moment. Director Sheng was in Shangmei Factory, and now he is like a needle in the sea.

Even after retirement, he still serves as a consultant.

Liu Qingshan was overjoyed, and immediately responded: "Elder Sheng, if you come, we can't ask for it. The position of the general counselor is none other than you!"

Director Sheng waved his hand lightly: "I'm so old, I don't care about my position. Like you said just now, I just want to do my best for our domestic animation."

Hearing the sincere words of the old man, Liu Qingshan was really awe-inspiring, and he couldn't help holding Director Sheng's hand:

"Old Sheng, then let's work together."

"And us!"

Old Man Zhou also pulled Dai Lao and came up with a smile.

If Director Sheng can join the team, then it will be fine. He is not only the director, but also the director of the factory, and is deeply respected by the employees.

With Sheng leading the army, what are you worried about?

Only Director Yan coughed twice: "You all ran away, isn't that the only bare commander I am left?"
