Chapter 50 Xinghai Animation
Sanxin accepted Xu Cong’s proposal very readily.
After a very detailed discussion, the two finally reached a cooperative relationship.
"This phone is really lightweight!"
After the two parties reached a cooperative relationship, Sanxin, as a partner, also sent some special products to Wanxiang Technology.
Sanxin mobile phone!
Of course, the current Sanxin mobile phones are very good in terms of overall quality and reputation, and they have not been labeled as bombs.
Sanxin has an unrivaled position in the entire technology industry.
It covers a wide range of areas, even beyond the imagination of ordinary users.
Sanxin's technology companies cover various fields such as communications, semiconductors, screen panels, sensors, and chip design.
This also enables it to truly become a self-sufficient and independently produced communication equipment manufacturer in the future.
Of course, Sanxin has been engaged in the field of communication equipment for a very long time.
Although the current communications field equipment is basically dominated by major foreign manufacturers such as Nokia and Motorola, Sanxin is able to carve a niche among these major manufacturers with its sophisticated product design and corresponding technical foundation.
Xu Cong played with the mobile phone that the other party gave him. The lightness of the entire product was much better than the copycat phone that Xu Cong had used.
The lightness of the flip cover combined with the texture of the metal made Xu Cong unable to put it down.
Although the design and texture of the product are excellent, the functions from the inside to the outside are basically consistent with all current functional muscles.
Today's feature phones basically only have a few categories of functions.
Calls, text messages, memos, multimedia, computers, settings, etc.
Slightly better feature phones may have the function of 2G Internet access, but the current 2G mobile network has not really become the mainstream on feature phones.
Weak network speeds, coupled with high network fees, make 2G mobile networks gradually forgotten.
And when the 2G network is upgraded to the 3G network, perhaps the Internet function of mobile phones will be truly accepted by consumer users.
Xu Cong was not polite and put on the mobile phone sent by Sanxin. After all, the copycat phone in his hand did not look suitable for his identity.
As for the remaining dozens of units, they will be used as year-end bonus gifts and can be distributed to the company’s employees.
You must know that the price of current mobile phones can easily be several thousand yuan.
Especially some very famous brand products, such as Motorola, Nokia, and Sanxin.
The price of these mobile phones is basically worth several months’ salary of some ordinary people.
Precisely because the prices of these brand mobile phones are too expensive, many domestic consumer groups do not have the relative spending power to purchase these brand mobile phones.
This also gives copycat phones a very broad living space.
Even as these copycat phone manufacturers continue to develop, they have established corresponding dealer systems in various regions, and they also have their own counters in physical mobile phone stores.
Even though copycat phones are so rampant, there are many low-priced, feature-rich copycat phones on the market. At this time, people’s biggest expectation is to own a “branded” phone.
The era of feature phones will have to wait until the arrival of 3G networks before they will be gradually replaced by smart phones.
Rather than being replaced by smartphones, it is better said that it is replaced by the emergence of mobile networks.
However, according to the current situation, it is estimated that it will take two or three years before 3G network licenses will actually be awarded to domestic operators.
At this time, the world is still dominated by feature phones.
Xu Cong gradually recovered his current energy, and now his most important thing is naturally the upcoming global game competition.
This is the first time that Wanxiang Technology has truly entered the global stage, and Xu Cong is determined to win a good ranking in this game competition.
Zhang Yong's work is relatively reliable, and he quickly found a company that specializes in animation production.
Xinghai Animation, as a top domestic animation company, has participated in the production of animation shots for several foreign film companies.
This animation company has a very good reputation in the industry, and the entire company has nearly 800 outstanding painters.
Its strength and achievements are considered top-notch among domestic animation companies.
Zhang Yong also requested some works from Xinghai Animation Company and gave them to Xu Cong for review.
Looking at the animation works played on his computer, Xu Cong couldn't help but frown.
The quality of the animation produced by Xinghai Animation Company is pretty good, but it has a completely different style from the animation I requested.
The animations produced by Xinghai Animation Company are relatively realistic animation style. This style is very similar to the style of the animation "Wind and Cloud" that I have watched.
This is an animation style with Chinese characteristics.
However, the style of the game Warcraft is biased toward darkness and Western style.
The difference in style between the two is still very big.
"Please help me contact Xinghai Animation Company to see if they can make a 10-second animation according to my requirements..."
Xu Cong did not directly deny Xinghai Animation Company, after all, there are too few cooperation partners now.
At the same time, there is not much time left for the company now. At this time, we still need to give Xinghai Animation Company some opportunities.
As for price, these things are easy to negotiate.
Wanxiang Technology is not short of money now. As long as the other party's price is reasonable, Wanxiang Technology can still accept cooperation.
Following Xu Cong's prompts, Zhang Yong quickly made a request to Xinghai Animation.
Regarding the request put forward by Wanxiang Technology, the senior executives within Xinghai Company accepted the request from Wanxiang Technology after thinking about it.
After all, Xinghai Company now has nearly 800 painters, and including employees from other departments, the company's headcount has already exceeded a thousand.
Now the company is in urgent need of a big order, which can make the company live stably in the next time.
Xinghai Animation Company attaches great importance to Wanxiang Technology’s list.
So after spending more than two hundred painters working for almost a day and a half, a ten-second video appeared on Xu Cong's computer.
At this time, Xu Cong looked at the animation played on the computer, looking back and forth with scrutiny, and spent almost a few minutes watching the ten-second animation.
The overall animation level of Xinghai Animation Company is considered to be the top level in the world. The overlap between the ten-second animation and the animation in Xu Cong's impression is only about 70%.
Although some westernization and dark style features have been added to it, the animation retains some animation styles with Chinese characteristics.
"This is okay. Although it is not as dark as the original version, this style of painting is more suitable for global users, whether domestic or foreign users!"
Although there is a certain gap between the corresponding animation and the original version, Xu Cong is still very satisfied with the work produced by Xinghai Animation Company this time.
On the premise that it has corresponding dark style characteristics and also contains Chinese heritage, this kind of animation with a slight combination of Chinese and Western characteristics has a wider coverage.
"What is the market value of Xinghai Animation Company!"
Just before Xu Cong wanted to cooperate, he suddenly had the idea of acquiring Xinhai Animation Company.
Xinghai Animation Company’s strength in animation production is there, and our company will need this type of subsidiary in the future.
If you want to produce games or animations for your own company in the future, you can leave it to Xinghai Animation Company.
"The current market value of Xinghai Animation Company is approximately 2.7 billion!"
Zhang Yong is a responsible person and quickly obtained the basic data of Xinghai Company.
2.7 billion, this is not a small number.
What's more, Xu Cong doesn't have so much liquidity in his hands now. Even if he has so much liquidity, it's impossible to use it all at once to acquire a company.
However, Xu Cong is determined that one day he must acquire Xinghai Animation Company and make it a subsidiary of his own company.
After all, in the future animation and animation field, there will be a lot of economic value that can be created, especially when some novels and literary works are adapted into animation, the IP effect will be far beyond imagination.
Three years, within the next three years, I must take Xinghai Company into my pocket.
Xu Cong also made a plan for himself.
But now Xu Cong still needs to cooperate with Xinghai Company quickly, so that Xinghai Company can complete the CG animation of Warcraft as soon as possible.
With Zhang Yong's help, the two companies finally signed a cooperation agreement.
The cost of producing animation this time is charged per second.
Charge 30,000 per second!
Then the charge for one minute reaches 1.8 million!
Xu Cong estimates that the total duration of the CG animation of Warcraft is about forty-six minutes, which means that this time the animation will probably need to pay Xinghai Animation about 8,000 to 90 million.
Xu Cong didn't frown at such a fee.
CG animation is a part of the game. If the animation can be done well, it can also give more users an immersive gaming experience.
And Xu Cong feels that if the game of Warcraft can be truly turned into a classic IP, the revenue and profits it will bring will far exceed the tens of millions or even billions of expenses.
After handing over the animation task of Warcraft to Xinghai Animation, Xu Cong also needs to consider the next issue of his company's online games.
The current game is almost complete, and there is basically no need to think about game content.
Now, what Wanxiang Technology needs to focus on is how to allow foreign users to log in to the game.
Chapter completed!
