Chapter 168 - Da Mei Studios (2/2)

Meng Fan looked and was even more confused. It really wasn’t a contract binding the member to the studio, but a contract insinuating collaboration with the studio.

“Your sister said she doesn’t want the money back, so she’ll count it as an investment in the studio. Hence, you will possess the stocks. She doesn’t understand them, anyway. If it’s lost it’s lost, count it as a toy for you to play with. It’s best if you make money and share some to her if you want.” Qin Jiao said. “Of course, the studio should try to make money. Only my dividends from my shares will be used to educate and train talents and replace the members. Since you hold 49% of the shares, you can figure out what to do with the money you make.”

Meng Fan was stunned for a long time. He was not prepared to invest in an entire studio.

“Let me think about it for a moment.”

Meng Fan thought about it for a long time as he sat on the side. The cleaning staff had come to clean when he finally asked Qin Jiao. “Do you have a large degree of freedom with your shares?”

“Hey kid, you’re looking into this too deeply!”

Qin Jiao smiled and said, “Although this studio was rented on behalf of the school, it’s just a facade. Since it’s purely face value, of course, what I say goes. Besides, who knows if my studio can make money or not. Of course, if I really can make a profit, as I said earlier, I will voluntarily fund the education and training programs.”

“That’s fine. But I’ll say this now, even if I have shares, I won’t participate in any of the administration.”

“Sign the contract first. It’s not like I’ll make you do anything you don’t know how to do!”

After signing the contract, Qin Jiao happily collected it and took out some more copies of the contract from her bag. She smiled. “These are the members I’ve signed, most of whom are graduates of our department, and a few of them are currently students. These people are good at illustrations and hand painting posters since our studio’s main projects in the near future consist of illustrations and posters.”

Meng Fan heard this and waved his hand. “This has nothing to do with me!”

Qin Jiao squinted at Meng Fan, and her voice went soft. “I know you’ve received a lot of illustration and poster work, but you’re the one who took them; it’s got nothing to do with the studio. I didn’t tell you, the boss, to earn money for this studio either. It’s just that you’re familiar with both parties, and you have the ability. If you have time, can you at least be a guide?”

Since his time was flexible, Meng Fan could only accept.

“I signed the contract. Can I leave now?”

“Don’t you think you have to do something before leaving? For example, help me move the stuff over there…”

“You really are my mom’s student. My sister’s best girl friend!”

He inexplicably became the owner of a studio and helped arrange stuff for over an hour. Meng Fan did not have the temperament to argue!

It made sense. The money came from his sister, and the administration process, business, and recruitment were all covered by Qin Jiao. Thinking about it carefully, he really was just sitting and enjoying the title, so he had no right to be angry.

Moreover, although the studio didn’t have to make money right away, it could solve several of Meng Fan’s problems.

For example, the [Professional Manga Artist] task’s requirement of single-paged publications, or the progress for his own manga that Da Qiang couldn’t catch up with. He could throw some of those work to the studio.

As for the title of the studio, Meng Fan was too tireless to trash talk and couldn’t trash talk either. Da Mei Studio. After all, Qin Jiao had taken out all three words from the national art academy!
