In the meeting room, the finance department brought the report.
This month, it was a loss.
Last month, it was a loss.
The month before that, it was still a loss!
It has been losing money for half a year.
It has made almost no money every month.
This financial report is simply horrible.
Even Cheng Xu next to him felt a little guilty.
"sorry……"Cheng Xu lowered his head in shame,"Our company has been losing money for a long time. We haven't made any money in the past two years. I should have told you earlier... If you regret it now, it doesn't matter."
The people next to him were anxious.
"Brother Xu! What are you talking about now?"
What if this young boss really regrets it?
Cheng Xu lowered his head and said,"Trading should be based on mutual consent. I indeed forgot to show you the financial statements before... so……"
"Can you give me a copy of the toys you made?" Chen Fan calmly put the financial report on the table and interrupted him.
"Huh? Okay, right away!"
……
This company is in a worse situation than he imagined.
According to a rough estimate, Cheng Xu has lost at least 4 million yuan.
Others start companies to make money, but he probably started a company for charity.
And including this brand, the entire company was sold to him for only 9 million yuan.
It seems that he has really run out of money.
…………
Li Gang brought all the toys over and filled up the table.
A pink elephant, a long-legged Superman, and a pink pig.
If you look at the design of the dolls alone, they are actually not bad.
The workmanship is also very exquisite.
But when they are put together, the styles are uneven and no big worldview is formed.
For example, the Lego building blocks that became popular in later generations, even on such a popular basis, they will still innovate and come up with new IPs.
Nowadays, most of the toys in the company are original images, and there is no complete macro-world story between the toys as a foil.
"The design part is actually OK, but the company's brand awareness is not strong, and you have never purchased IP to produce peripherals, right?"
The toys here don't even have a once popular peripheral.
Cheng Xu was silent for a moment, lowered his head,"Well, I want to make my own original domestic products, and don't want to buy foreign IPs."
He paused, and lowered his head disappointedly,"I know I'm taking it for granted, but I also want domestic toy images to surpass foreign ones, so that our domestic toys can have a place in the world, but in the past few years, they haven't bought it. Everyone likes new IPs from abroad."
The people around him also spoke up.
"Brother Xu, you really can’t make money from domestic toys, just give up."
"Brother Xu, Disney's Mickey Mouse is now selling like hot cakes in the toy market, but our domestic mouse toys... no one buys them."
A female employee was holding a little mouse helplessly,"They have released cartoons, but what about us? Brother Xu, do you know how many of our mice we have sold? Ninety-nine! Not even a hundred! It's not that we don't want to make domestic products, it's really that domestic toys have no future! And Journey to the West toys are difficult to design, and we can't have only Journey to the West toys on the market, right?"
"Boss, times have changed. We have to admit that now the Mimi Mouse is selling better than the Chinese Mouse!"
"Brother Xu, give up your dream."
"Yes, we also want to see domestic toys become popular, but they are not popular in China, let alone abroad! Moreover, even domestic toy companies are secretly processing and copying foreign IP images. It is really too difficult for us to be original!"
Cheng Xu was desperate.
Perhaps he was really wrong.
Perhaps he should be a qualified businessman, and should not have such an illusory dream of revitalizing domestic toys.
"I support you very much."
The word domestic made Chen Fan's blood boil,"domestic toys, I support you making them."
It is undeniable! His blood still flows with those passionate patriotic feelings!
Support?
Cheng Xu's eyes lit up for a moment, but then went out in an instant.
"Forget it." Cheng Xu said sincerely,"Thank you for supporting me, but it really doesn't make money. To make money... I... I don't want this dream. You spent so much money, you can't lose it like me."
The people around him comforted him.
"Brother Xu, let’s make money first!"
"That’s right, I should have thought of it this way a long time ago!"
"We can also design based on foreign IP"
"Will there be any problems if I imitate it?"
"That shouldn't be the case. Who will take care of us as a small company?"
Before they could finish, Chen Fan interrupted them,"I have a letter of authorization here."
He put the letter of authorization on the table and motioned for them to see.
When Cheng Xu saw the name under the letter of authorization written in black and white, he was stunned.
Authorization for Plants vs. Zombies.
His entire lips trembled with excitement,"Is this the extremely popular game Plants vs. Zombies! ?"
Chen Fan nodded,"Yes, you just need to restore these toys to their original versions based on the original version, and add a few new zombies and plants."
Everyone was excited and happy, except Li Gang, who frowned tightly.
Is there really anyone willing to put a zombie at home?
Li Gang was a little confused.
"But not everyone is willing to collect these things. After all, if you really want to collect toys, these furry things will not look good when made into a little zombie, and it is not good to put a zombie in your home.……"
Li Gang couldn't help but shook his head,"If it were me, I probably wouldn't buy it."
Cheng Xu next to him glared at Li Gang,"When there was an IP, you said they wouldn't buy it, and when there was no IP, you said originality wasn't good!"
"I'm telling the truth.……"
"Shut up."
Li Gang shut up in grievance. Cheng
Xu turned back and looked at Chen Fan,"We all think there is no problem with this IP, and we will start to do it as soon as possible according to the original requirements."
"He is right."
Chen Fan interrupted him,"Indeed, if it is simply based on the original version, it is indeed not suitable, so we are going to make a small figure, and the specific design will be given to you. In addition, we will adopt the form of a blind box, put the figure in the blind box, and design a new brand-new image."
Chen Fan paused,"The new plant image can only be drawn from the blind box, and the new image can be confirmed with the game company through the box number, and a new patch will be obtained. After this patch is installed, the game can be updated and a new plant will be added."
Brand-new plants...
In an instant, Li Gang's eyes lit up,"This is OK! What kind of figure is it? Is it different from the previous plush toy form? If so, I think it should be good and will be popular!"
In an instant, Li Gang looked at Chen Fan with a different look.
He patted Chen Fan's shoulder generously, with a serious face,"I didn't expect that you, the boss, are so talented!! I think this idea is very reliable. If it is the form of extraction you mentioned, the figure image cannot be too big."
The more Li Gang talked and thought, the more inspiration came to him.
He immediately took out a pen and paper and started drawing.
"If you want to stuff it into a small box, and it is a so-called figurine, not a plush toy, then it is best to have a small stand that can be placed on the table or convenient for collection, because if it is not in the form of a toy, it must be bought back for collection. If you collect it, it must be small, exquisite, and highly restored for easy exhibition!"
In a few minutes, Li Gang handed it to Chen Fan like offering a treasure,"Little boss, take a look, is this the effect you want!!"
With just a few strokes, the general model of the figurine of the future came to life on paper.
There is a sunflower on the base.
It is exquisite and small.
Even slightly modified from the original version.
Just looking at the design drawing, you can tell that the effect of this figurine must be good.
Talent!
Chen Fan looked at Li Gang with shining eyes,"You will be the head of the design department in the future. You have autonomy in design issues. If there is anything you don’t understand, you can communicate with me directly. Regarding salary, I will communicate with you separately!"
"Good!"
After the blind box came out, their communication became much smoother.
Soon, the members of the project team began to take on their own tasks very consciously.
"I am responsible for contacting major supermarkets"
"I am responsible for the design of the entire big box and the graphic design of the small box."
"I am responsible for the design of the dolls in the blind box"
"I am responsible for market research"
"I am responsible for publicity and promotion!"
"Then I will be responsible for communicating with the company over at Plants vs. Zombies."
Soon, they decided on the task themselves.
There was no nonsense at all, and the work efficiency was very high.
Chen Fan was more and more satisfied.
According to this���Efficiency should be able to earn back the remaining 5 million before he spends it all.
……
In the evening, he received another text message from the detective.
【Song Meijuan went out again, and this time she was dressed similarly to last time.
When Chen Fan saw this message, he replied without thinking.
【Where is it? I'll go with you.】
【Longjing Huating.
Longjing Huating is very far away from here, and the driving distance almost goes around the entire City C.
When Chen Fan arrived, it was already dark.
Longjing Huating is a very well-hidden restaurant with very expensive food.
Those who can come here are either rich or noble, almost all of them are celebrities or dignitaries.
The detective had arrived in advance and sent him the room number.
Chen Fan opened a room next door without even thinking about it.
After casually ordering a few dishes, he calmed down and began to listen to the conversation across the street.
The sound insulation of Longjing Huating is very good.
Even someone like him who had his hearing strengthened twice could only vaguely hear a few words.
……
Faintly, it seemed that there was Song Meijuan and a man inside.
Song Meijuan's voice was very anxious, and even had a hint of crying.
"Nothing can happen to Zhang Li's file. You know, if something happens to him, then……"
Song Meijuan was interrupted before she finished speaking.
"In the future? Don't think about what you shouldn't think about. He will only be Zhang Li in the future."
The man's voice was extremely cold,"How is that child?"
Chen Fan was completely confused.
That child?
Who?
Which other child does Song Meijuan have outside?
Just when he was confused, Song Meijuan's voice suddenly rose an octave.
"Why did you spare his life? You should have strangled him to death!"Song Meijuan gnashed her teeth in hatred,"He is not a good person! Vulgar!"
The hatred in her voice was almost overwhelming.
Chen Fan just realized that Song Meijuan seemed to be talking about him?
And this man actually knew him?
But he was sure that there must have been no such man in his previous life.
Could it be that there was something he didn't know in his previous life?
""Does anyone know you're here?"
The man's voice suddenly turned colder.
Song Meijuan was stunned for a moment,"No one knows.""
""Heh."
He sneered, his expression sinister and indifferent, and suddenly put out the cigarette butt in his hand on the table,"But my people caught a small reptile outside."
His voice was as cold as ice in winter, without a trace of temperature.
Before Chen Fan could react, suddenly - buzz buzz buzz.
His phone vibrated
【Hurry up and leave. I've been discovered. Sorry, brother. I'm running away first. They're going to catch you.】
【Remember to avoid those black-clad security guards.]
Just after reading the text message, he heard the angry and cold voice of the man next door,"You idiot, he's already escaped! Check, check the entire hotel for me! See if there are any suspicious people!"
Hearing this, Chen Fan did not stay any longer and left the room immediately.
If they found him in the next room, wouldn't that alert the enemy?
He left���When he arrived at the door, he found a large group of men in black suits blocking the door, and they were very serious in checking every customer coming in and out.
After all, the people who come here to eat are all dignitaries and rich second-generations.
Almost everyone except this group of people will be questioned.
When he saw the black-clad security guards wandering at the door, he turned around and left without thinking.
But halfway through, when he looked at the familiar figures at the table in the hall,"Huh?"……"
Isn't this... that person?
Why is she here?
————————————Update time——————————————
Updates are made at midnight every day.
There are only two time periods every day.
Midnight and morning.
A total of five chapters with more than 20,000 words.
I choose the earliest time to update at midnight so that you can read it at any time.
If there is no five chapters at midnight, it means there will be an update at eight in the morning. A minimum of
20,000 words are updated every day. I was going to update five chapters yesterday.
But after thinking about it, I decided to distribute it evenly every day!
