A song from Chengdu revived a closed-down pub.

Upon hearing this, everyone reacted with varying expressions.

Some people think this is fairer, while others are starting to think about what position they can occupy in this system in the future.

Cheng Yu pondered for a moment before asking, "Who decides the internal allocation? If it's all allocated by management, won't it eventually become a matter of personal connections? People with good relationships with the leaders will get more, while those who actually do the work will get nothing."

This question has clearly touched on the minds of many people.

All eyes in the conference room turned to Su Fan once again.

Su Fan did not evade the question: "Therefore, the power to allocate resources cannot be held by just one person. The company will establish a special review committee, which will include management, the production team, and employee representatives. Length of service, professional competence, project achievements, workload, and indispensability will all be included in the evaluation. The evaluation criteria will be made public, and the allocation results will be internally publicized. If anyone has any objection to the results, they can apply for a review. We cannot guarantee that everyone will be 100% satisfied, but at least every decision must be based on a valid reason."

One of the original art directors raised his hand and asked tentatively, "Are these internal allocations only available to management and department heads?"

Su Fan shook his head: "Of course not. If only the management can get it in the end, then employee stock ownership will lose its meaning. Professionals and managers should have two different promotion paths. An illustrator who is not good at management does not mean that his value is low. As long as he is capable enough and makes enough contributions, he can still get internal shares even if he does not hold any management position, and even get more than the department head."

Upon hearing this, the eyes of several production staff members immediately lit up.

In many companies, the only way to increase income is to switch from a professional role to a management role.

However, not every excellent animator is suited to leading a team, making budgets, and handling interpersonal relationships.

If Shan Hai Pictures can truly enable professionals to earn sufficient rewards based on their work and abilities, this system will undoubtedly become much more attractive to talent.

The finance manager then asked, "What happens to the internal quota that someone holds if they leave midway through the term?"

Su Fan said, "The company or employee stock ownership platform will repurchase the shares according to the pre-agreed calculation method. The internal shares cannot be transferred privately or sold to people outside the company. This is to prevent a large amount of profit from falling into the hands of people who are not related to the company after the company develops. The company will not reduce the money that should be given to the departing employees, but the corresponding shares will be returned to the platform and then distributed to the people who will truly participate in the company's development later."

After a moment's thought, Cheng Yu asked the most crucial question: "What happens to the company's control when there are more employees on the employee stock ownership platform? We can't have everyone vote on every decision, can we?"

Su Fan explained, "The right to profits and the right to operate should be properly separated. The employee stock ownership platform can participate in profit sharing and can also elect representatives to enter the company's decision-making level, but the daily operation is still the responsibility of the management team. General Manager Sun is responsible for operations and resources, while the original team is responsible for animation production. Each of them should do what they are good at. As for financing, company sales, core copyright transfers, and major project initiation, higher voting thresholds will be set. No party can bypass others to dispose of the company's core assets privately."

……

After the equity issue was raised, most of the concerns in everyone's hearts had dissipated.

This plan was not without risk, but at least it showed them that Su Fan did not intend to use funds and controlling stake to gradually squeeze the original team out of the company.

As long as they continue to work and achieve results, they may reap even greater benefits in the future than they do now.

Once the equity issues were mostly resolved, Su Fan said, "I have a notebook here; I'll give it to you in a bit. Take a look at it first."

Upon hearing this, everyone in the conference room immediately perked up.

However, after the initial excitement, many people began to feel a sense of unease.

Su Fan's fame is now immense.

Even if he only presents an ordinary work, as long as his name is attached, it can attract a lot of attention in a short period of time.

For a small, unknown company like Shan Hai Pictures, such traffic is enough to bring them into the public eye overnight.

Traffic is always a double-edged sword.

If the work is excellent enough, Su Fan's fame will become the best boost.

However, if the quality of the work itself is subpar, the immense attention will only amplify every flaw in the piece.

In that case, the audience won't just be criticizing Su Fan.

Shan Hai Pictures, which was responsible for the production, will also be nailed to the pillar of shame.

Some might even think that they are a company that makes money off Su Fan's fame.

The hard-won opportunity for Shanhai Pictures to turn things around may become the final straw that breaks the camel's back.

Moreover, Su Fan had never created animation before.

Everyone had their concerns, but no one voiced any objection at this time.

To dismiss Su Fan before even seeing the draft is not only disrespectful but also not the attitude a professional team should have.

Whether it's good or not, we'll only know after we see it.

Su Fan seemed to have read everyone's thoughts and did not ask them to express their opinions on the spot: "After the notebook is sent over, you should evaluate it according to professional standards and point out any problems directly."

These words actually made everyone in the conference room relax a bit.

Judging from Su Fan's attitude, he did not intend to use his shareholder status to force Shan Hai Pictures to accept the project unconditionally.

Next, the two sides discussed some details regarding the restructuring and personnel arrangements.

The video conference officially ended a little over an hour later.

Sun Zheng had other matters to attend to and did not stay at Shanhai Film Studio for long.

After Sun Zheng left, the meeting room door closed again, but the core members did not get up.

Everyone remained seated and exchanged glances.

There are some things I can't say in front of the two new shareholders.

Now that they were alone in the meeting room, someone finally couldn't help but voice their concerns.

The production director broke the silence first: "Do you think the script Su Fan presented is feasible to produce?"

The head of original animation leaned back in his chair, looking somewhat conflicted: "We haven't even seen the script yet, so who knows if it can be done? My concern isn't that the story is bad, but that his ideas are too big. Many people who have never worked with animation come up with ideas of massive armies, destroyed cities, and cataclysmic events right off the bat, thinking that since everything is drawn, they can have whatever they want."

The modeling supervisor next to him couldn't help but smile wryly: "They have no idea that every frame we draw costs money. If they add a line like 'Let's fight three hundred rounds,' we might have to work three more months."

Everyone laughed.

Even after laughing, he still didn't look much more relaxed.

"What I fear most is that Su Fan's fame is too great. It's not that no one will watch, it's that too many people will watch. If it's an ordinary project, and it's not done well, it can just be quietly scrapped. But if Su Fan's project has a problem, everyone on the internet will know that it was Shan Hai Pictures that did it."

"If we do well, we'll become famous overnight; if we mess up, we'll be on the pillar of shame."

"Besides, Su Fan's songwriting skills are undeniable, but he's never worked on animation!"

……

The crowd started discussing it animatedly.

Finally, Cheng Yu said, "Alright, let's see if it works or not."
