Chapter 122: Saner, the cannon enters the group
After coming out of the park, Xu Yunhao began to introduce the current structure of Green Dye Animation to Han Zhou.
They only have one of the three traditional basic departments: human resources department, administrative department, and finance department.
That is the Logistics Department, which is in charge of personnel, administration and logistics.
As for finance, there is only the Finance Office, which is directly managed by Xu Yunhao.
An animation company must have six functional departments: planning department, project planning department, production department, post-production department, marketing department, and brand management department.
There are only two of them.
One is the production department and the other is the sales department.
No wonder your unconventional company can't succeed.
There is no exclusive department for planning anime peripherals, and in order to save a few people's salaries, the previously popular IPs have never been developed into products.
There was no project planning department, so Xu Yunhao just came up with the idea and started working on 3D animation.
There is a production department, but it also serves as the project planning department and post-production department, so the functions are not separated.
In other words, they are the ones who do the planning and the development.
They are the ones who carry out the mission.
They are the ones who do the post-production.
How is this possible? The upstream and downstream of the same department doing the same thing is equivalent to giving him the opportunity to be lazy.
If it is a normal company, if the production department makes the basics of the animation too poor, it will be sent to the post-production department.
The post-production department simply said, "We can't do this post-production."
Why? Because once there is a problem with the animation, and the post-production department receives the work from the production department and then makes it, the responsibility lies with the post-production department.
This will give the post-production department the right to directly review the quality of what the production department produces.
If the same group of people are doing animation, planning, project planning and post-production.
That means this group of people discussed it internally, thought about it, started to make a plan, and then started to execute it.
"This plan looks good, let's do it."
“It’s not like this animation is unwatchable, so let’s just pick it.”
"This post-production is barely passable, let's start making peripheral products."
The result is that as soon as something comes on the market, everyone who sees it says it's "rubbish."
With this kind of architecture, why are you investing so much money in 3D technology?
Moreover, the intelligence of asset management and sales is not separated.
Assets are managed by sales at all times, and sales think that as long as the assets are sold, there will be dividends and bonuses.
The item that was originally worth ten million was sold for five million, and the dividends were quickly collected.
If a company like this doesn't collapse, who will?
Han Zhou looked at Xu Yunhao many times.
It seems that this person is a first-rate technician, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to create those two big IPs that were broadcast on star satellite TV stations.
But this person's management style highlights a rough and unruly temperament.
And he was the kind of ruffian who didn't use a knife to attack people.
To put it bluntly, it is Song Jiang.
He is stupid, foolish, bad and has no sense of direction, but in the eyes of other colleagues, he is a good person and a brother.
When I entered Green Animation, it was as expected.
Knowing that a buyer was coming to see the house today, Xu Yunhao must have informed him.
But in the office, some people are watching TV series, some are watching videos, and some are reading novels.
Someone is making tea.
Some people were walking towards the lounge with cigarettes in their mouths.
There aren’t many people doing their own things at their workstations.
After the entire 3D project was sealed, all technicians are now bored.
It is obvious that the animation subsidies have allowed this company to survive over the past three years.
By this year, I can't make it anymore.
Xu Yunhao probably put all the money he had earned previously into the company and is making money on his own.
Xu Yunhao didn't notice anything unusual on Han Zhou's face.
Instead, he continued, “Boss Han, if you give me 30 million to tide me over, I can definitely lead Green Dye Animation to rise.”
Han Zhou: "How do you rise? Continue your 3D works? The "Mountain Stream" you mentioned?"
Xu Yunhao sighed: "If President Han doesn't like this, then... If President Han gives you 60 million, I can sell the company to you. I will continue to lead the team, but it won't cost a lot of money. I will let other colleagues do projects to make money, and only leave a small number of people to do 3D."
Han Zhou paused, took another step, and then stopped again.
"Boss Xu, do you want to sell the company or find a class to take?"
"If it's the latter, then I'm leaving now."
"If it's the former, I'll give you 30 million, 10 million in cash, 20 million to be paid off within 20 years, and from now on this company will have nothing to do with you."
"You choose."
"Thirty million is enough for you to live a carefree life in Shudu for the rest of your life. It counts as your successful business venture over the years."
Xu Yunhao's hair was about to fall out recently. After hearing what Han Zhou said, he couldn't help but look miserable.
Thirty million, what is sold is not anything else but the dream.
Han Zhou was very calm and did not soften his heart because of Xu Yunhao's personal experience.
After all, if I didn't come, the future of this company would be nothing more than to persist for a year or two, and then go bankrupt or disband on the spot.
"Boss Xu, listen to others' advice and eat your fill. You are not suitable to be a manager. Just take the money and live your life as a rich man."
"Or else go to Hangzhou and find another company to be the head of the technical department."
“Don’t do this yourself.”
Let me say this in the workplace.
Many people around looked over.
Only then did I feel that Han Zhou's face was familiar.
Some people started discussing it.
Xu Yunhao obviously doesn't care about his face, but it's really torturous for him to give up his dream.
But the world is like this. Only one in a thousand and one in ten thousand are successful, and 99 percent of people are not satisfied with their lives.
If Xu Yunhao withdraws now, he can take away a lot of money. Thirty million in cash, plus the money he earned before, is enough for ordinary people to envy for a lifetime.
Han Zhou looked at his watch and said, "If you choose to sell Green Dye Animation to me, then I will go visit an animation director now."
"If you choose not to sell Midori Animation to me, then I'm going home now to have dinner."
“So, I don’t have a lot of time.”
"Boss Xu, please give me a straightforward answer."
"To be honest, I bought this company now for no other purpose than to use it as a post-production staff to do the post-production of a TV series. If Uncle Han hadn't pointed out that your company was in trouble, I wouldn't have bothered to come and see it."
Xu Yunhao was a little angry: "Our company doesn't need charity."
Han Zhou looked at the people around him and randomly asked: "How much did you earn last year?"
The employee was stunned for a moment: "Last year... the salary plus bonus was about 90,000."
Han Zhou threw out his phone: "The names on my phone are all my employees. You can pick any one and call."
On Han Zhou's phone, all the acquaintances were marked with some information, not their names.
Only company employees are named.
The Green Dye Animation employee randomly clicked one and dialed, then turned on the speakerphone.
The person on the other end of the phone answered the phone immediately: "Boss Han, what do you want?"
The employee was silent for two seconds, then said, "Hello, Mr. Han asked me to call you to ask you something."
"How much was your salary and bonus last year?"
The employee: "Last year? I didn't work at Han's company last year. My salary at my last company is confidential."
Green Dye Animation Employee: "So how much is it so far this year?"
The New World employee: "I'm sorry, this year's salary is also confidential. I can't tell you."
Han Zhou stood outside the desk and said, "I'm Han Zhou, you can tell him."
The New World employee on the other end of the phone said: "I only received three months' salary this year, which is only 18,000 yuan in total. I worked on two projects and got a bonus of 35,000 yuan."
After these words were spoken, the expressions of the Green Dye employees looked a little strange.
Because his salary is 6,800 yuan, and his bonus averages only 1,000 yuan a month.
The salary of this New World employee is 6,000 yuan, and his bonus is nearly 12,000 yuan a month!
The green dyeing employee asked: "What kind of work do you do?"
New World employee: "Me? A small screenwriter, polishing the script to correct grammatical errors and errors."
The phone was hung up.
Han Zhou looked at Xu Yunhao and said, "This is the first time I've heard of a company that has been in business for less than ten years allowing employees to tell others how much they earn in the workplace."
"Moreover, as a film and television company, your efficiency is too low. It's shockingly low."
“All problems come from your management, not technical problems.”
"Logically, a company that has produced two works that have been broadcast on star satellite TV stations should not have any technical flaws. Moreover, you are leading the team to research 3D animation, which shows that your company's technical reserves are already able to perfectly handle 2D animation."
"So, how come you can't go on?"
Han Zhou looked at Xu Yunhao and said, "Look at the people in this office."
"Following you, I'll just have to eat coarse food."
"Why don't you take the money and leave? Then their income will skyrocket, and everyone will win."
"I told you, you are not fit to be the head of a company."
Xu Yunhao knew that there was something wrong with his management.
But Xu Yunhao is a technical boss. He thinks that as long as he has strong skills, he can succeed.
Just like the independent animation company in the United States, Original Dream Animation, which was later acquired by Universal Pictures.
But, in fact, it is far from it.
Han Zhou knew that if this company didn't cut off its ties with Xu Yunhao, it would be a useless company. Buying it would be a loss, and it would lose money every month.
So, it’s better to be straightforward.
Xu Yunhao looked at Han Zhou, his face changing from gloomy to bright, and finally gritted his teeth: "Okay! Thirty million is thirty million, I'm leaving."
In the workplace, many people are confused.
So... a change of boss?
Han Zhou looked at these people and said, "I know that many of you must have known that the company is going to fail and are preparing to run away."
"But from today on you are no longer employees of Midorizome Animation, but members of the animation department of New World Entertainment."
"Everyone's basic salary will be increased by 1,000 yuan. As for the bonus amount, it will be calculated by a dedicated person."
"But today I'm making an exception."
"I will have an animation project for you to produce next. As long as it can be broadcast on CCTV for four episodes without being cancelled, everyone present will receive a bonus of four months' salary."
The whole spirit and energy of the scene was different.
It’s no use talking nonsense. The boss who pays you is a good boss.
Even if you are brothers, if you don't pay, it's equal to zero.
With Lu Ran's strength, making an animation with only four episodes of quality products and ensuring that it won't be cancelled by CCTV, wouldn't that be an easy task?
With everyone working together, winning the prize was like a piece of cake.
After all, you can find out the plans for every episode of the animation you have made before and modify the best ones.
After entering the office, Han Zhou knew that this matter had to be accomplished no matter what.
The words have been spoken. If Xu Yunhao doesn't sell Green Rye Animation, these employees will hate him to death.
It would be the same even if you paid these people for five or six years.
That's human nature.
It only makes sense to talk about feelings with a single individual. Talking about feelings with a group that is united by interests is just asking for trouble.
Because once people form a certain group, the lower limit of the group's IQ is based on the lower limit of the person .
Therefore, a group can easily be swayed by emotions.
After entering the office, Han Zhou and Xu Yunhao had a brief talk and reached some agreements.
Then Han Zhou notified Yang Hong to handle the matter.
Of course, Han Zhou won't stay here to deal with this matter all the time.
Now that we have secured a company, we need to find a captain for it.
Han Zhou has plans to make Boonie Bears, but an animation company cannot just be about Boonie Bears.
And it is a company that is currently trying to develop its own 3D technology.
Therefore, Han Zhou went straight to an old neighborhood in Shudu.
According to the address given by Fourth Uncle Han, seven years ago, the talented animation director who made an animated short film and won twenty domestic and international awards was right here, living off his parents.
There is nothing we can do about it.
First of all, the previous generation of domestic animations were all produced by companies with official backgrounds or state-owned enterprises.
As for the new generation of animation, the boss of every company is born into technology.
After all, those who dare to enter this industry even though the animation is so poor must be technically savvy.
Competitors are enemies. Someone who understands technology will never think that another person is better than himself.
After all, they would think, if this person is strong, shouldn’t he have a company that is more powerful than mine?
In fact, this wave of people succeeded simply because they took advantage of policy dividends, had technical knowledge, and came from wealthy families, so they didn't need to make the first pot of gold.
There are many geniuses in the world, but without the first pot of gold, you won’t get a chance of your own.
According to the address, Han Zhou rang the doorbell.
The person who opened the door was an old lady in an apron.
The old lady pushed the door open and glanced at Han Zhou. She was stunned for a moment, then asked: "Are you looking for Tan Tan?"
Han Zhou was stunned for a moment: "I'm looking for Director Dapao."
This person's real name is Liu Tiantan, and his online name is Dapao. I heard that he gave himself this name because he likes the local Shudu snack "Dandapao".
The old lady looked inside the house, then at Han Zhou, a little hesitant: "This..."
Han Zhou: "I know a lot of people are looking for him. It's very important for me to find him. Tell him that it was Han Sisheng who asked me to find him."
The old lady walked into the house.
After a while, a fat, unshaven man in pajamas and a robe came out.
Seeing Han Zhou: "Huh? Are you the director of "This Man From Earth", Han Zhou?!"
Han Zhou nodded: "Hello, Dapao, I came to see you."
Cannon made way: "Come in and sit down."
Their family's situation is far worse than Han Zhou's.
Han Zhou's mother at least had more than 100,000 yuan in savings.
Dapao’s family doesn’t have that. His mother only earns three thousand a month.
But he has been living off his parents for seven years.
If you tell others about this kind of thing, you will be scolded.
But sometimes, as a director, that's just the way it is.
In his previous life, Jiaozi stayed at home and relied on his parents for six years. In his previous life, the first Chinese director to win an Oscar was still relying on his wife at the age of 30.
This kind of person is convinced that he only needs one opportunity to turn his life around, but he cannot do anything else in the meantime. He must constantly enrich himself and continue learning. He cannot do other jobs just because he is poor.
Because in the directing industry, once you let go, you will immediately forget everything you have learned.
Han Zhou took a look at Dapao's computer.
A 3D model is running on it.
Han Zhou looked at Da Pao and said, "I'm going to ask you to join my company."
Cannon was silent for a moment and did not agree.
How valuable is the name Cannon?
Even though he lives on his mother's monthly income of 3,000 yuan at home, as long as he agrees to be listed in a company, he can immediately earn more than 20,000 or 30,000 yuan a month.
Any advertising company can just show the awards that Cannon has won to their clients.
Then they charge clients millions for a few dozen seconds of advertising, just like it's a piece of cake.
But if you do that kind of stuff, you can forget about making serious animation in your life.
Han Zhou: "I have already negotiated with an animation company."
Da Pao looked up: "Which one?"
Han Zhou: "Green Dye Animation."
Da Pao lowered his head and lit a cigarette: "Rubbish."
Han Zhou: "I asked Xu Yunhao to leave, and we are in need of a head of the animation department."
Da Pao suddenly raised his head: "You mean let me take care of it?!"
As he said that, he stood up and bumped into the chair behind him, which fell to the ground with a thud.
The sound is huge.
There was a scream from downstairs immediately: "Big Cannon, you fucking god! You're going to fly again in the middle of the night?!"
Dapao didn't care about anything else and stared at Han Zhou, wanting to know the answer.
Han Zhou: "I have two works that require the entire division to work on."
"I asked you to come here so that you can take over the 3D technology of the animation department and continue your research."
Cannon began to think.
Han Zhou: "Are you planning a 3D animation yourself?"
Dapao smiled and opened a document with a grin.
Han Zhou took a glance and said, "Are you serious? This thing is also garbage."
"You can definitely do better."
Cannon's mood dropped.
For an animation script, it takes a few months for Dapao to come up with a good idea, and then several years to produce it, making the special effects and pictures the best.
However, in front of a director who has actually made a feature film, this script is indeed garbage at first glance.
Han Zhou: "Look at this."
After saying that, he dropped a USB drive.
Dapao opened the USB drive and started reading it. The more he read, the more surprised he was and he became fascinated.
There are even pictures and linear sketches of characters in the document.
Dapao raised his head and looked at Han Zhou.
Han Zhou: "You are good at technology, but I am good at storytelling."
"Now that I have an animation company, I want to create iconic works for China."
"If you can do it, follow me."
"You are seeking your own death by standing opposite me and trying to fight me."
"Although there are not many animation directors with your level of talent and charisma in China, there are many internationally."
"I would prefer this to be a purely domestic production, so I hope you can join my core team."
Da Pao looked at Han Zhou seriously and asked, "How long do you think it will take for us to come up with a complete set of technology and start production?"
In fact, the movie behind Han Zhou's script took two years to write the script and two years to produce.
One year was spent on scene modeling.
Han Zhou: "It took half a year to come up with the technology, half a year to come up with all the scripts, and then one year to produce it."
"Don't think I'm careless. I will make additional investments during this period. Green Dye is a garbage company now, but the New World Animation Department in the future will be the largest animation film department in the country."
As Cannon was thinking, the cigarette butt caught fire and burned his fingers.
Throwing down his cigarette butt, Da Pao turned around and asked fiercely: "Did anyone else from the animation department get involved?"
Han Zhou: "I will select the people to manage my project myself, and you can transfer all other personnel as you like."
"I have two projects. To be precise, I am only in charge of the Boonie Bears project. You also have to take care of the other project."
Cannon: "Okay, I did it."
Han Zhou was puzzled: "Why don't you ask how much the salary is?"
Cannon: "Is there any female employee in the company?"
Han Zhou: “Yes.”
Cannon: "Done! I'll take this job."
Han Zhou laughed: "Big Cannon, Big Cannon is not elegant. Why don't you call yourself Big Cannon? From now on, just call yourself San'er."
Da Pao was happy: "The head can be cut off and the blood can be shed, but the name cannot be changed..."
Han Zhou interrupted: "I'll give you 100,000 yuan as signing fee."
Liu Tiantan: "San'er, sign it right away!"
The less people like to talk about money, the more they like money!
Chen Xiaoyong and Zhang Jiuquan discovered that there was one more person in the small group at 11:30 pm.
Zhang Jiuquan: "Who are you?"
Liu Tiantan: "San'er."
Zhang Jiuquan: "Third brother! Where are you from? Where are you? Come out and wash your feet?"
Liu Tiantan: "Washing feet? Where? Send me the location!"
"Do you know how I survived these seven years? Seven years! I haven't washed my feet in seven years!!"
Chen Xiaoyong: “This is a meaningful message.”
After the three parties exchanged positions, they were awkward.
One is in Shudu, one is in Xi City, and one is in Yanjing.
Chen Xiaoyong broke the awkwardness in the group: "Nine, it seems there are still five positions ahead of you."
Zhang Jiuquan: "There are five more brothers!"
Chen Xiaoyong: "When your five brothers see your face and these words, they will be able to spit them out."
Zhang Jiuquan: "You'll get used to it after vomiting a lot."
Chen Xiaoyong: "I won't say anymore. I'm going to Shuiyunjian. I have to say that the foot washing service here in Yanjing is really good."
Chen Xiaoyong has gone to "Summer of Idol" to be the head of the camera crew.
Zhang Jiuquan: "Take me with you! Buy the plane ticket right now!"
Chen Xiaoyong: "You just took a shower half an hour ago, aren't you afraid that your feet will be rubbed off?"
Liu Tiantan pondered: So what group did Han Zhou pull me into? A small group of foot washing enthusiasts? I like it here!
After a while, Yang Hong was pulled in.
The first thing Yang Hong asked was: "Why am I number seven? Who in this group is older than me? Why am I number seven? There are five people in the group, how can I be number seven?"
Zhang Jiuquan imitated Han Zhou's thoughts, but found that he couldn't understand it, so he just replied: "What did the group of five people say?"
Da Pao looked at Yang Hong's real-name WeChat name and said, "Maybe... the rainbow has seven colors?"
Yang Hong: "Then what's the big deal about Han Zhou? Is it his age? His height? His weight?"
Zhang Jiuquan: "Maybe it's because of... appearance."
Yang Hong, Liu Tiantan, Chen Xiaoyong: "Shut up!"
