Chapter 329 Invitation from Zheng Guo

The engine produced by Guoyun is very cost-effective, and it is a little more expensive than other engines, but it has absolute advantages in service life and failure rate.

Therefore, Mingyang Group, without knowing that Mu Bai is the boss behind Guoyun, as long as they have a normal mind, will definitely choose the engine produced by Guoyun.

This is a crucial step for Mu Bai to fight back against Ming Honglang. The first step is to let Mingyang Group use the engine of Guoyun, and the second step is to make Mingyang inseparable from the engine of Guoyun.

The first step is easy to complete, but the second step is more difficult.

In addition, in order to avoid the social turmoil caused by Guoyun's technological advantages.

Mu Bai also asked Ma Jingping to set up the "Engine Industry Association". Currently, there is only one company, Guoyun, in this association. The purpose of the association is to help or acquire those factories whose engine industry has not kept up with the pace of upgrading.

This is not a welfare organization established by Mu Bai, but a disguised talent introduction strategy, and paves the way for future OEM strategies.

The emergence of Guoyun engine will definitely have a great impact on the engine industry of Shandong countries.

The original engine companies will be very sad, because the countries have insufficient investment in industry, and they have little ability to catch up with Guoyun.

As for Guoyun, insufficient production will be a big problem, so it is better to be more generous and give "Guoyun No. [-]" to other engine factories of the association for processing.

Of course, "Guoyun You No. [-]" is the core competitiveness of Guoyun, and it cannot be used for processing.

In addition, Ma Jingping reported that the high-end talents of the engine factory include Zou Hai and other seven or eight figures at the level of scientists. Looking at the engine factory in the world, it is also unique.

However, there are not many skilled workers in the factory. Every skilled worker has to stand the test of time, and it doesn't mean that you can have it if you want it.

Utilizing the "Engine Industry Association", it is possible to continuously replenish skilled workers through the acquisition of other engine industries.

In addition, the development of the second piece of land promised by Xiao Minghui is also on the agenda. Mu Bai told Ma Jingping that if you need money, just ask, as long as the accounting department calculates it correctly, the new capital injection will be completed immediately.

After confirming the development strategy of Guoyun for a period of time in the future, Mu Bai went to Weicheng Mansion.

His new rental house is on the outskirts of Weicheng Mansion, with two bedrooms and one living room, enough for him to live alone.

With the reopening of the studio, Mu Bai held a one-day meeting in the studio to fully arrange the work of the studio for the new year.

The first is the expansion of the studio. Guofeng is already a symbol of this abandoned industrial area. It is said that many real estate developers have bought a lot of land around them and are planning to build a community here.

Since the infrastructure here will be more complete in the future, there is no need for Guofeng to move to the urban area, let's make a sign here.

But as the number of employees increases, the original warehouse can no longer accommodate so many people.

So Mu Bai planned to buy an abandoned factory next to it and renovate it to provide a larger space for the studio.

In addition, the studio was officially renamed as Guofeng Art Company. The government has no clear distinction between studios and companies, but the industry generally refers to cultural units with assets of less than 3000 million as studios, and the above-mentioned companies are called companies.

Even if a studio with assets of several million claims to be a company, in the eyes of industry insiders, it is still a studio.

Guofeng Studio can be called a company long ago, but Mu Bai has not changed the name.

It's not that he keeps a low profile, it's just a way to anesthetize his opponent. After all, most of the studio's income last year was invested in Guoyun.

But now it is impossible to hide the truth. The income of "My Neighbor Totoro" alone is several hundred million, and the downloads of "Mu Wang Biography" have exceeded ten million, and the direct benefits brought to Guofeng are hundreds of millions.

This is not counting Mu Bai's income from Shesheng, as well as the messy income from comics and murals.

It doesn't make much sense to continue calling yourself a studio, it's better to admit your own strength openly.

It is precisely because of these foundations that Mu Bai dared to let Ma Jingping let go to develop.

With the company having such high profits, Mu Bai naturally did not treat the old people who followed him poorly. Starting from the new year, everyone's daily salary increased by fifty.

Although both the program group and the network group are part-time jobs, their salaries are already higher than those of normal network company employees.

The salaries of several design teams, whether they are original painters or original painter assistants, are slightly higher than those of first-class art companies.

Moreover, Guofeng already has its own talent training strategy. Newly arrived students and fresh graduates will be led by the elderly to work. After two or three months, the newcomers will have rich work experience.

If you have a talent for painting, or you are self-motivated, you can pass the assessment and try to become an original painter.

The original painters who have experienced "The Legend of King Xiang", "My Neighbor Totoro", and "The Legend of King Mu" are the backbone of the national style. Mu Bai has always treated them very well. During the Spring Festival, most of the holidays are half-month. Paid leave.

After discussing the expansion of the workplace and the company's name change, Mu Bai began to assign specific tasks.

The first is the production of the new game. During the New Year period, at the branch of Jinguofeng.com, the voting for the protagonist of the new game has been completed, and Jin Wenwang won with a high number of votes.

Then the next step is to design a new game based on King Wen of Jin.

The second big job is the production of new movies, with the huge income from "My Neighbor Totoro", Mu Bai is full of motivation to make new movies.

The theme of the new movie is naturally "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" in the system, but Mu Bai has never planned to make a live-action version, but is planning to make a 3D version.

Considering that the animation team still has a lot of work for film and television singles, Mu Bai plans to expand the animation team to support the production of new movies.

In addition, after the completion of the new work place, the studio's own dubbing group and soundtrack group will be established.

In the past, these two groups were not permanent, but now they are both games and movies, and there are many dubbing and soundtrack work, so it is not cost-effective to always rent a venue.

It's better to set up your own group, you can use it immediately when it is useful, and consider renting it out when you don't need it.

For the new movie, Mu Bai asked Xiao Minghui if he would like to do an advertisement during the New Year?

If he is willing to advertise, he will design the background of the animated movie by the sea, and then advertise for the beach in his hometown.

Xiao Minghui has no interest in commercials, and expressed his willingness to continue investing in new movies.

Mu Bai did not agree. When producing "My Neighbor Totoro", Guofeng was short of money and people, so he had no choice but to cooperate with Xiao Minghui.

Today is different from the past, Mu Bai now has a strong waist and is not short of money or people, just make it by himself, there is no need to look for investment.

In the end, Xiao Minghui had no choice but to agree to spend 500 million yuan to make an advertisement for the beach.

Fei Mubai described this announcement as a free gift, and it was tantamount to making a contribution to Pinghai Mansion.

Not only because Mu Bai is from Pinghai Prefecture, but also because Xiao Minghui gave Guofeng a lot of business in the second phase of the resort, from design to mural painting and so on.

The last thing is the expansion of the comic group and mural group. After Huang Yuze opened a new comic last year, the manpower of the comic group has not been replenished, and the mural group has long been short of manpower.

For this recruitment, Mu Bai emphasized not to only target the students of Shenghuai College. Now nearly one-third of the students of Shenghuai Art Department are working in Guofeng.

Those who didn't come were basically those who didn't want to work part-time when they were in school, or those who had been dismissed from the studio before.

In addition, Mu Bai has other considerations. The students who are working in the studio now will also take the exam in the Hongwen Museum after graduation.

It must be a good thing to be admitted to the Hongwen Museum. Even if you fail to pass the exam and get a good grade in the exam, you will be assigned to work in the government or an important department in the country just like Wu Jun.

At that time, there will inevitably be a brain drain. In order to avoid the phenomenon of talent gap, Mu Bai plans to start making preparations from now on.

The new recruitment targets are mainly fresh graduates who have completed the Hongwenguan examination and college students who have just entered the society.

After arranging everything, it was already past three o'clock in the afternoon. Mu Bai asked everyone to go back to rest and start working officially tomorrow.

It is foreseeable that it will be busy again in the future.

For the new movie, there are many places that Mu Bai needs to write, such as character and background design, these are all ready-made in Mu Bai's mind.

It's just that the Gothic architecture and European and American faces are not suitable in this world, and corresponding adjustments must be made.

And the storyboard Mu Bai also needs to pay close attention. He plans to keep watching until the step of the storyboard just like last time. With these programmatic things, he just needs to keep enough attention in the subsequent production.

In the evening, Mu Bai had dinner with Ji Yuanjie, whom he hadn't seen for a long time. When he returned to the rental house, he used his free time to move the songs Gu Boying needed from the system.

After further communication with the crew and the scenic spot, Mu Bai thinks that "Yungong News" is quite suitable for that scenic spot. As for the song requested by the crew and the two songs that Gu Boying needs, they have not yet been found.

Like last time, Mu Bai started to use the random song function to select songs again.

The first song "The Fruit of Midsummer", Mu Bai nodded, this time he was lucky, it was a good song when it came up, and Gu Boying could be the main song in February.

The second song "Nightingale" is a good piece of pure music, but it is not suitable for use in the crew or on the "new list", so it can only be saved for now.

The third song "Prelude to the Dead", Mu Bai smiled wryly, this system can't stand the praise, two pieces of pure music came at once, um, "Prelude to the Dead" can be used in a certain game in the future.

For the fourth song "Live for You", Mu Bai felt that Gu Boying and Wei Wang could sing together.

Thinking about it now, offering songs to Gu Boying is really a worry-free thing. She can handle almost any genre. The key is that she has a better sense of music than Mu Bai, and most of the songs don’t need Mu Bai. She knows how to sing by herself.

Mu Bai continued to choose songs for the crew, the fifth song "Too Early", this song is good, but it is not suitable for that crew.

The sixth song "Sword is Like a Dream", Mu Bai still remembers this classic theme song he heard when his parents watched this TV series when he was a child.

Mu Bai has made a decision in his heart, the sixth song is on, which fits well with the introduction provided by the crew.

And Mu Bai doesn't plan to change his name, although everyone doesn't know what a "sword" is, but Mu Bai thinks that he is now a master figure, and can already produce some things that others don't understand.

He said in his heart that maybe in the future it will still be considered as a feature of his works.

The next day Mu Bai went to Shesheng in person, handed over the selected songs to Gu Boying, and discussed how to deal with any accidents.

The so-called accident was that Ming Honglang made another move in the "New List".

But Mu Bai probably won't, the Ming Guoshi's team was very quiet in the first month.

Mu Bai guessed that Ming Guoshi's team would have no face to continue entangled with Mu Bai in the "Xinbang". He had so many resources, but in the end he lost to two big students.

But if he wants to save face, he will not continue to make a fuss on the "new list".

While Mu Bai was talking with Gu Boying, Vice President Hou hurried over and said, "The Ministry of Rites just sent a notice calling for you two to attend Grand Duke Zheng's birthday banquet!"

Mu Bai was stunned: "Isn't Zhou Guo and Zheng Guo not established diplomatic relations? Still need to attend Zheng Guogong's birthday banquet?"

"On the surface, there is no diplomatic relationship." Vice President Hou is very clear about these political means: "In fact, Zhou Guo has been supporting the struggle between Zheng Guo and Jin Guo. It seems that the two countries have not established diplomatic relations, but the relationship is better than the establishment of diplomatic relations.

"Furthermore, when the King of Zhou celebrated his birthday last year, the State of Zheng sent a mission to the State of Zheng very solemnly. According to the rules, we will also send a delegation of the same standard to the State of Zheng."

Mu Bai nodded: "Since that's the case, let's go, and we can also open up Zheng Guo's market by the way."

He remembered that his first song was collected by Zheng Guogong, and he, who was not well-known, received a lot of attention.

In addition, Zheng Guo asked Guofeng to buy "My Neighbor Totoro" some time ago, tens of millions of Mu Bai's total income came from Zheng Guo.

So his impression of Zheng Guo and Zheng Guogong is quite good.

"Oh, haven't you heard that Zheng Guogong is a tyrant!" Vice President Hou sighed and said, "Every country follows the principle of 'no punishment for crimes', but in Zheng State, three national officials were arrested by Zheng Guogong for treason!"

Mu Bai smiled and said: "I am not a national scholar!"

"Prevention is essential!" Vice President Hou said anxiously: "For so many years, he has never invited foreign singers to Zheng Guo, but this time he invited you by name all of a sudden, who knows what purpose he has?"

Gu Boying said: "Can I refuse to attend?"

"That's the problem!" Vice President Hou said, "The Ministry of Rites requires you to attend!"

"Then go!" Mu Bai said: "Zheng Guo is not a den of tigers and wolves!"

But Vice President Hou said: "Duke Zheng Guo has no other hobbies, he just likes music. What if he detains you and doesn't let you go back to China?"

"Then I will make Zheng Guo poor!" Mu Bai joked.

Vice President Hou gave Mu Bai a blank look: "When is it, are you still joking like this?"

Mu Bai didn't have any sense of crisis: "The big deal is to come back from Wenzhan all the way!"

Seven in and seven out to find out!
　It is expected to end within this month, so the rhythm may become tighter.
