In July of '80, Shangmei Factory applied to the Huhai Municipal Government for the allocation of 500 acres of surrounding land to build factories, office buildings and welfare houses.

Since Huhai is the city where the most educated and young people return to their hometowns, in order to solve the housing problem after their return, Huhai City is the most active in supporting the construction of houses by raising funds in this era.

In those two years, the U.S. factory contributed a lot of foreign exchange to Huhai City, so Huhai City happily agreed.

After 3 years, the expansion of the Shangmei plant has been fully completed.

Because they have a lot of art designers, they have designed a lot of beautiful and romantic elements for their own factory area, and the green facilities are everywhere without money, so the Shangmei factory, which covers a huge area, is like a scene around it.

Walking inside, you can feel the breath of art at any time.

In addition, Shangmei Factory has made all the characters of its works into dolls, which are placed in all corners of the factory, in front of various lawns and gardens, just like a fairy tale world.

Such a wonderful landscape attracts primary and secondary schools in Huhai City to take Shangmei Factory as a scenic spot when they go out to visit, which makes them cry and laugh.

But the children's request cannot be refused, and the Shangmei factory is originally for the children, so it can only be opened two days a week to receive these children.

Other departments that are not important, or some trivial matters that have just graduated and come in, can be visited by these children, so that they can feel the charm of art production.

Over time, the factory simply used a building to do such promotion and reception work.

As for those important departments that are in a hurry, naturally others are not allowed to enter.

In order to enrich his team and receive a large number of animation production orders, Yan Dingxian's important task in recent years is to continuously recruit outstanding art and animation graduates to work in the art factory.

Even those who have not gone to school, but have strong confidence in their art skills, can sign up for the recruitment.

In fact, the prestige of Shangmei Factory has long been famous in the art departments and animation departments of major universities.

Especially in the past few years, through the cooperation with Xiangjiang Kirin Culture, Shangmei Factory has achieved various wages and benefits, which far exceed the national average level.

There are many people who get two or three hundred a month, and then the benefits of the New Year and the holidays are even more terrifying.

Not to mention, Shangmei Factory has also allocated houses to outstanding employees for free.

How important it is to have your own house in Huhai!?

Therefore, anyone who has a little ability and career ambition wants to work in Shangmei Factory, realize their ambitions at the same time, and also achieve fame.

It is also in this context that Shangmei Factory carefully selects countless outstanding talents every year and expands them into its own team, and finally has a scale of more than 700 on-the-job employees.

These people have made very rapid progress under the guidance and help of the old workers, especially the old men of the Wan family and a group of retired and rehired masters.

In two or three years, they will be able to shoulder the burden of the Shangmei factory and become the backbone of the factory.

With them, this is where Yan Dingxian dares to argue with Japan's largest animation company, the Asahi Group.

However, whether it can succeed or not, Yan Dingxian has no bottom in his heart.

In terms of the degree of finesse of production, Shangmei Factory is definitely better than the Asahi Group.

However, in terms of production speed and expression ability, and in the use of modern production machines, Shangmei Factory is inferior to the Asahi Group.

This can be seen from the fact that Kirin Culture handed over several of the most important animations to the Asahi Group.

"Conan", the most popular detective film in cartoons, now has a strong reputation and influence all over the world, and it is said that in animation alone, it creates more than 300 million Hong Kong dollars in profits for Kirin Culture every year.

In addition, the spin-off products of "Conan" are also selling well among teenagers, with an annual profit of no less than 1 billion Hong Kong dollars.

Although it is not as good as Transformers toys and Saint Seiya dolls, this brand is undoubtedly very successful.

The biggest factor in success is not actually the comic book, but the cartoon.

Therefore, in the Kirin culture, there are many people who appreciate the production level and speed of the Japanese themselves. ——In the Qilin culture, there are too many people who go out of the beauty factory, so Yan Dingxian knows it clearly.

In comparison, the cartoons produced by Shangmei Factory and several other cooperative art film factories have a good reputation and excellent production, but there are no popular money-making comics.

That's their disadvantage.

But in general, the advantages of Shangmei factory are still much greater.

One-third of the employees of Kirin culture are all from Shangmei Factory, which has a strong identity foundation, and when choosing, they will have a tendency to choose Shangmei Factory.

Even Chang Huxi, the first animation director of Kirin Culture, is an employee of Shangmei Factory, and the second and current animation director Hu Yi is also a member of Shangmei Factory.

Even in terms of decisive opinions, they are not as vocal as a big man like Le Yiling, but the right to suggest and opinions are important factors for Le Yiling's reference.

The most important thing is Yin Jun.

As we all know, Shangmei Factory can have today's good days, and Yin Jun pulled it up.

I don't know what the reason is, but when Yin Jun first started making comics, he went to great lengths and invited the backbone of Shangmei Factory in the mainland to build the framework of Qilin culture.

Yin Jun's invitation to Japan, even Koreans, did not have much impact on the development of Kirin culture.

As long as there is Yin Jun's original story and Yin Jun's foresight, there is no problem.

But for Shangmei Factory, this is a lifesaver.

Since those years, in fact, the country's support for the cultural industry has been much less, if it were not for the cooperation with Qilin Culture, they would have gradually declined in recent years.

Not to mention the wanton expansion to find people, even if it can maintain the previous scale, it is not realistic.

Today's Shangmei Factory is one of the top animation production factories in Asia, and most of it is due to Yin Jun's support.

Yin Junke has never concealed his good impression of the mainland, nor his support for his own people, and it is also where Shangmei Factory has confidence.

Today, Yan Dingxian and Chang Huanxi talked about things, and they talked about this matter.

"I'm going to go to Xiangjiang tomorrow. Chang Huxi didn't talk nonsense, and said directly, "It just so happens that three new comics have been added this month, and I'll also go to find out about the situation." Of course, the most important thing is to get the animation rights of Dragon Ball as soon as possible!"

"Is it difficult?" Yan Dingxian looked at his henchman with appreciation.

Originally, Yan Dingxian liked Chang Huanxi, who made such a big career in Xiangjiang, but he still resolutely returned to Shangmei Factory and lived with a salary of more than 800 yuan.

More than 800 yuan a month, it is already in the top ten in Shangmei Factory, but compared to the salary of 1 million Hong Kong dollars a year that Yin Jun gave Chang Huanxi, it is simply not worthy of even lifting shoes.

But Chang Huxi still came back, which made several old men praise.

Yan Dingxian decided at that moment that Chang Huanxi was the next director of Shangmei Factory recommended to the organization when he retired.

Not only because of his ability and loyalty, but also because he has a very good relationship with Yin Jun and has a good relationship with Le Yiling.

When the Kirin Group was created, Chang Huxi and Le Yiling worked upstairs and downstairs, and they often dealt with each other, and this kind of friendship was uncommon.

Now, basically, the people below don't have this opportunity to get in close contact with Queen Le.

Now in fact, Chang Huanxi has been promoted to the deputy director of Shangmei Factory, and he is in charge of animation production.

"There must be difficulty, but even if I don't want this face, I have to ask Yin Jun for help. Chang Huanxi said, "Dragon Ball is too important for us to go to the United States! Whether it is standing still or taking a big step forward depends on it!"

"Yes!"

Yan Dingxian nodded heavily, "If we can make "Dragon Ball" fast and well, then we will completely overwhelm the Asahi Group and become the No. 1 in Asia." It's also a huge benefit for us to make other animated films on a daily basis!"

The above support for Shangmei Factory is less, but some of the tasks that should be there are not less, every year Shangmei Factory needs to make a few animated films, cartoons to show to children across the country.

By cultivating so many talents and having such sufficient funds in hand, the animated films produced by Shanghai American Factory have become more and more sophisticated in recent years, and they have won many awards in the world.

This made the older generation of retired staff masters praise again and again, saying that their generation of Shangmei factory people not only opened up their own fields, but also did not forget the most innocent concept of animation, and inherited the spirit of Shangmei factory.

It can not only make money, but also make achievements in art, and be liked by children all over the country, which is also the pride of Shangmei Factory.

In this way, their artistic creation will have life, and everyone will have a sense of belonging and glory.

"Besides, factory director, our apartment building is saturated. Many young people who have been newly recruited into the factory have recently been asking, when will we start to build new apartments?" Chang Huxi asked again, "Many young men are waiting for the new house to be assigned before going to the girl's house to talk about marriage!"

Half of the 500 acres of land approved by the city are used to repair apartment buildings.

Shangmei Factory has built a total of 60 units and 720 houses, all with a uniform area of 80 square meters, enough for a family of three or even five to live.

But now there are more than 900 people in Shangmei Factory, and the remaining one or two hundred people actually live in the old apartment building, which is 30-50 square meters, and even the toilet and kitchen are shared.

In the past, everyone was like this, of course nothing.

can see that the seniors can live in a spacious and bright building, but they still live in a tube building, and the young people are naturally a little panicked and want to have a house.

"Well, I've already asked the city for instructions. Yan Dingxian said with a smile, "They initially agreed to allocate the land, but this time we have to pay some money." ”

"This matter was mentioned last time Yin Jun called me. "Together with the houses and land we have now, if we can get the ownership down, it's best to make it our own in the factory, not just allocated." After all, the allocated land has no guarantee for us. ”

"He's in the real estate business, so he knows more about it than we do, and he never does anything superfluous. Yan Dingxian pondered for a while, then nodded slowly, "Anyway, we have money now, so let's do it! The money won't cost much, but the land in your own hands is much more practical." ”
