Su Yu parked his motorcycle and came to the two of them.
"This is Ms. Hanada Yui, the president of Chiba Animation."
Sakura Takeshita explained.
Su Yu looked at Hanada Yui.
Short hair, calm expression, and regular features.
She was dressed in a business suit and had a good figure.
Hanada Yui bowed.
"Hello, Young Master Su Yu."
"Hello, Ms. Hanada."
Su Yu nodded.
Hanada Yui straightened up and gestured for him to proceed.
The three of them walked into the company together.
The first floor houses the meeting rooms and the cafeteria.
The second floor houses the original art team, with desks spaced apart, making the layout appear very neat.
Each person's desk is decorated with anime characters, all from works produced by Chiba Animation.
Su Yu randomly selected an employee and looked at the character the employee had drawn.
The character is certainly talented, but the face is exactly the same as in previous works.
The third floor houses the animation scriptwriting team, which is also very neatly arranged, with four groups, each responsible for a script.
The fourth floor is the animation production department, which is the busiest place.
The animation director is a middle-aged woman.
He seemed very experienced and directed others to do their work.
"Young Master Su Yu, my office is upstairs. Would you like to have a seat there?"
Hanada Yui asked.
"Who is that?"
Su Yu looked at the middle-aged woman.
“That’s Director Fujiwara, the most important person in the entire company. Even I, the president, have to listen to his opinions.”
Hanada Yui said earnestly.
"She was the director of all those anime?"
Su Yu looked at Hanada Yui.
"Yes."
"No wonder I always felt like something was missing."
“Young Master Su Yu, it’s best not to mention this in front of the director. Chiba Animation currently only has Director Fujiwara as its animation director.”
"Give me the script you're planning to produce."
Su Yu said something to Hanada Yui and then walked into the office.
Hanada Yui opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but couldn't utter a word.
The members of Chiba Animation were unaware that the company had been sold by Yukinoshita Construction Company, and the new company did not intend to disclose the details completely, only informing the president and other relevant personnel.
As the president, she had absolutely no expectations for the new company.
Yukinoshita Construction will contribute at least 30% of the previous animation investment.
Whether the new company can contribute 10% is a question.
Hanada Yui sighed and turned to leave.
If Su Yu drives the coach away, then I, as the club president, should resign as well.
Inside the office.
The employees are all busy.
Su Yu and Takeshita Sakura walked in, causing Director Fujiwara to frown.
Are you two newcomers?
Upon hearing this, the surrounding employees all stopped and stared at the two of them.
"I'm not a newcomer, I'm..."
"If you are not from Chiba Animation, please leave and do not disturb my work."
Director Fujiwara interrupted Su Yu.
"Is this all your job is to make these boring animations?"
Su Yu said lightly.
"What did you say?"
Director Fujiwara's eyes turned cold.
Su Yu walked up to her and glanced at the animation script.
"I've seen Chiba Animation's works, and they can be described in one sentence: formulaic."
"They get to know each other in the first three episodes, their relationship develops in the middle six episodes, and a misunderstanding always happens in the last three episodes."
Do you find this kind of animation interesting?
Upon hearing this, Director Fujiwara let out a cold laugh.
"Formulaic is fine, as long as it works. Although Chiba Animation's works don't make as much money as Shinazugawa Shoten's popular works, on the path of original animation, while other companies are losing money, only the original animations I direct don't lose any money!"
"In that respect, you are really impressive."
Su Yu did not deny the other party's achievements.
"If you can recite the formula, it means you've seen most of our works. You say my animations are boring, then give me a script that isn't boring and let me see what's interesting."
When Coach Fujiwara heard Su Yu acknowledge his achievements, his tone softened slightly.
Have you heard of Azur Lane?
Su Yu moved a chair over and sat down.
"Of course I've heard of it."
Director Fujiwara looked puzzled.
What does this have to do with Azur Lane?
What do you think of this game?
Su Yu picked up the script on the table and started reading.
"It's amazing, it truly deserves to be called a 2D game."
"So, what do you think of the person who wrote this game plan? What's their skill level?"
"Outstanding talent."
Director Fujiwara said without hesitation.
Su Yu put down the script in her hand.
"Thank you for the compliment."
"Ok?"
"Let me introduce myself. I am Su Yu, the owner of Eryou Company, and the person who wrote that plan."
"you……"
"At the same time, he is also the new boss of this company."
"What did you say?"
Director Fujiwara was so surprised that he stood up.
Yui Hanada walked in, holding the scripts for the anime series that would be running for the next two years.
"Yukinoshita Construction has sold Chiba Animation, and Young Master Su Yu is the owner of the new company."
Director Fujiwara was stunned for a few seconds.
Then, she looked at Su Yu intently.
“Young Master Su Yu, you’re right. I can only make boring animations, but I would like to ask you to take a look at the scripts written by other screenwriters at Chiba Animation.”
After she finished speaking, she took out her key, opened several cabinets on her desk, and took out more than a dozen scripts.
"These are the works of the animation scriptwriting team, all of which were rejected by me. However, the reason I rejected them was not because the scripts were not good enough, but because they were too risky and not suitable for Chiba Animation."
"It seems I misunderstood you."
"Chiba Animation needs funding. If you can get Eryou Company to provide the funding, I can give up those formulaic things."
"Takenashita Sakura".
Su Yu called out.
"Yes."
Takeshita Sakura said quickly.
"Include Chiba Animation in your project. Each animation will have an investment of no less than 150 million yen. Director Fujiwara can apply for funding for two animations each year without needing my approval."
Su Yu said with a smile.
Director Fujiwara bent down.
"Young Master Su Yu, I will never let you down!"
"I won't look at the script. I'll give you three chances. If you can make one of your works successful, I will give Chiba Animation more funding and recruit more people."
"Young Master Su Yu, thank you for your recognition."
"I also bought an animation website. Eryou Company also has a partnership with that animation website, so I believe it's unlikely that we'll lose money."
Su Yu revealed two cards.
Director Fujiwara's face lit up with joy.
No wonder Young Master Su Yu came here; it turns out he had already paved the way.
No wonder he's the boss of Eryou Company!
……
Stepping out of Chiba Animation.
Sakura Takeshita offered a reminder.
“Young Master Su Yu, our funds are only enough to buy these properties. Is it too slow to provide funds to Chiba Animation first? After all, the animation production cycle takes several months.”
"you're right."
Su Yu took out his cell phone.
Sakura Takeshita fell silent instantly.
After the call is connected.
"The new company needs funds. Could you provide 90 billion yen upfront?"
"Would it be alright to give 50 billion yen first?"
"Ok, I see."
Su Yu hung up the phone and looked at Takeshita Sakura.
"It's settled. We'll give Yukinoshita Construction Company 50 billion yen first, and pay back the remaining 50 billion yen gradually."
"Eh?"
