"Everyone, there's really nothing to worry about. I've asked the lawyer. As long as we can prove that the contract between us and Jia Yapeng was signed under the condition that Jia Yapeng concealed his identity, then this contract is invalid!" In an emergency internal meeting held by Gainax, Hideaki Anno reassured everyone.
"But the key is, how can we prove that we don't know Jia Yapeng's true identity? After all, the contract says Jia Yapeng, not Xibei Yapeng. He didn't conceal his identity when signing the contract! "GAINAX's president, Yamaga Hiroyuki, said worriedly.
"We really don't know Jia Yapeng's identity. This is a fact that can be easily deduced. Because how can we sign such a contract that requires 520 million yen when we know Jia Yapeng's true identity? Our club's total income for three years doesn't even reach 520 million yen. This is against common sense! "Hideaki Anno said.
"Anno-kun, you're too naive. There are many things in this world that seem to be taken for granted, but in the end, in front of the court, they don't!"
"Boss Jia is the chairman of the Daqian Group. He has countless connections and countless wealth. He also has close ties with many Fusang Chaebols. You know the court in Fusang, it's a place where you can do whatever you want as long as you have money. Moreover, they have the contract in their hands, so the court won't listen to our explanation. They will definitely favor Jia Yapeng."
"That won't happen. This is our territory. Why would our court side with a Chinese?" Anno Hideaki said.
"The court won't favor anyone, they will only favor money!" Yamaga Hiroyuki shook his head. "Anno-kun, I'm afraid our company will have to pay a lot of money this time!"
"Then what do you think we should do?" Hideaki Anno asked angrily.
"Actually, I think Jia Yapeng's attitude is still good!" Yamaga Hiroyuki narrowed his eyes and said, "His intention is very clear. He doesn't really want to take 520 million yen from us. He just wants to get 'New Age Evangelion'!"
"And it's not free. He's willing to invest in our work in full. This is actually a win-win situation. Why do we have to keep people a thousand miles away?"
"We need a large amount of investment in the first place. Isn't it the same whose money it is?"
"But he's from Hua Xia. He's the boss of Dynasty Animation. We created 'New Age Evangelion' to defeat Dynasty Animation and take back the Fusang's rights to animation. How can we sell him to the Daqian? Isn't this the biggest joke in the world?" Anno Hideaki yelled.
"No, Jia Yapeng said that the animation production can still be done by us, GAINAX. All the core creative team will remain the same. You will still be the chief supervisor, and I will still be the producer. Whether it's the art supervisor, the voice actress, or others, everything will remain the same. The original plan will not change!"
"At the same time, we can get more financial support. This is still a Fusang's animation, a work of our Fusangpeople!" Yamaga Hiroyuki said loudly.
"But this is still Hua Xia's work. This … Wait, how did you know that Jia Yapeng said this? Could it be …" Anno Hideaki suddenly reacted and stared at Yamaga Hiroyuki. Yamaga Hiroyuki sat back uncomfortably.
"You've already met Jia Yapeng and even been bought by him, right?" Anno Hideaki stared at Yamaga Hiroyuki, her former good friend.
"Forget it, I didn't want to hide it from you!" Yamaga Hiroyuki nodded and said, "Yes, last night, Mr. Jia Yapeng came to see me. We had a good talk. I fully understand Mr. Jia Yapeng's thoughts. He is really optimistic about" New Age Evangelion ". He just wants to invest in it. He won't change anything else."
"I think it's good, so I agreed!"
"How much money did you take from him?" Anno Hideaki didn't care about Yamaga Hiroyuki's explanation and asked firmly.
"…" Yamaga Hiroyuki was silent for a while, and then said firmly, "I didn't take any money, not even a penny!"
"You still have some backbone …" Anno Hideaki nodded, but the next second, Yamaga Hiroyuki continued, "But I sold all the shares in my hands to him. I sold 25% of the shares to Daqian Group!"
"What!" Anno Hideaki's eyes widened. Yamaga Hiroyuki sighed and said, "Don't look at me like that. Not only me, Sadamoto Yoshiyuki, Akaguchi Takumi, Okada Doufu, and other investors, as far as I know, they also sold all the shares in their hands to Daqian. In addition to the 20% shares in your hands, the rest of the shares are already in the hands of Daqian Group!"
"Yes."
"That's it!"
"Sorry."
The other shareholders who attended the meeting bowed their heads and didn't refute. Obviously, Yamaga Hiroyuki was telling the truth. Their shares had all been sold.
"…" Anno Hideaki weakly stepped back and leaned against the wall. She couldn't help but giggle, and finally smiled and said, "How much did you sell it for?"
"10 million yen for every 1% of the shares!" Yamaga Hiroyuki said, "Anno-kun, we are all Daqian people."
"Hahaha, so the whole company was sold for 1 billion yen. This is really a good price, a good deal. The Daqian Group spent at least 5 times the price to buy the shares in your hands. You sold it right, sold it well, sold it well!!" Anno Hideaki laughed until she cried, "Why didn't you tell me about such a good thing? I also sold 20% of my shares. This way, the whole company will belong to Jia Yapeng. Isn't it great! "
"Anno-kun, if you want to sell it, you can sell it to me now!" A person walked out from the back with a smile. It was our Jia Yapeng.
"Everyone, please make it convenient. I want to talk to Anno-kun alone!" Boss Jia smiled and said to the other people who attended the meeting.
"Yes!" The other people suddenly felt as if they were pardoned. They felt that they couldn't raise their heads in front of Anno Hideaki, so they quickly left. Otherwise, their faces would burn.
"I know what you want to say to me!" After everyone left, Hideaki Anno looked at Jia Yapeng, gritted her teeth, and said, "You can bribe those bastards with your money, but you can't bribe me. We're on different paths, so we can't work together!"
"400 million yen!" Looking at Anno Hideaki who was gritting his teeth, Boss Jia just said so lightly.
"What did you say?" Anno Hideaki froze for a moment.
"I spent 10 million yen to buy every 1% of their shares. As for your 20% shares, I'm willing to buy it for 400 million yen, as long as you stay and continue to be the director of 'New Age Evangelion'!" Boss Jia said with a smile.
"Don't even think about it. I am different from those people …" Anno Hideaki still had a backbone. Facing Jia Yapeng's double price, he still insisted.
"Then you can walk out!" Boss Jia changed into a comfortable position and sat on the president's chair. He said with a smile, "Also, I will buy all the rights of the entire production committee. Other than the 20% in your hands, the script, copywriting, character design, and everything else of < New Age Evangelion > is mine."
"You can walk out of here, but after you walk out, you will no longer have anything to do with < New Age Evangelion >. And I will let Dynasty Animation be in charge of the entire < New Age Evangelion >."
"If that's the case, this animation will become a Dynasty animation from head to toe. Think about it yourself!"
After Boss Jia finished speaking, he put a contract on the table and pointed at the door of the conference room, indicating that Anno Hideaki could prepare to leave.
Logically speaking, if Anno Hideaki really left without looking back, then the director of < New Age Evangelion > could only be Boss Jia directly.
After all, this was a masterpiece of the century. If it wasn't in the hands of the original author, Boss Jia wouldn't dare to trust anyone. Only his old fan could perfectly interpret it.
Hideaki Anno was panting heavily as her gaze wandered around. She was deep in thought as she looked at the high and mighty Jia Yapeng.
"Okay!" Anno Hideaki gritted his teeth and signed his name on the contract.
Boss Jia looked at the contract in front of him and remembered that he spent nearly 2 billion yen to buy < New Age Evangelion >.
Oh no, I seem to be a little stupid with too much money!
