Chapter 23 Official Recognition
The factory manager's office at Tianma Toy Factory.
Ma Tian looked at Yang Qian who had rushed over, his face showing undisguised surprise.
"Director Yang, you arrived so quickly."
He originally thought that Yang Qian was currently entangled in online public opinion and couldn't get away from it.
Unexpectedly, the other party appeared here right on time, as if nothing had happened.
Yang Qian simply smiled faintly and said nothing more.
His gaze fell on the several brand-new Kuuga belts on the desk.
He picked up one of them; it felt heavy and had a premium feel.
Carefully inspect every detail of the belt.
From the metallic sheen of the Yaguru waist buckle to the replaceable spirit stone components;
From the belt's resilience to the sound effects and light emitted when pressing to transform, the level of accuracy is extremely high, far exceeding his expectations.
"Director Ma, the workmanship and accuracy of the reproduction are impeccable."
Yang Qian nodded approvingly.
"Have the test results come out yet?"
"They're out, they're out."
Ma Tian quickly presented a test report issued by an authoritative institution with both hands.
"Using only environmentally friendly materials, the levels of various harmful substances are far below national standards, making it absolutely safe and reliable!"
Yang Qian carefully reviewed the report and, after confirming that everything was correct, a satisfied expression appeared on his face.
"Yes, everything meets the standards, very good."
Yang Qian greatly appreciates Ma Tian's cooperative attitude of prioritizing safety and quality.
Toys bring joy to children.
Safety is always the first and most important line of defense.
"Director Yang, what price are you planning to set this time?"
Ma Tian rubbed his hands together and asked curiously.
Ma Tian greatly admired the strategy of pricing the Ultraman Tiga Spark at 19.9.
Using official merchandise with extremely high cost-performance ratio to open up the market is a stroke of genius.
In his eyes, Yang Qian is not only a cultural worker, but also a businesswoman with a keen business sense.
Unlike his own son, Xiao Ma.
I sit in front of the computer every day watching "Kuuga," just like a child who hasn't grown up.
Xiao Ma: Don't mention it.
"Pricing...?"
Yang Qian looked at the belt in his hand and fell into thought.
The materials used in the Kuuga belt are much more complex than those in the Spark Lens, and it also has replaceable spirit stone components, making it significantly more expensive.
He pondered for a moment and then made a decision.
"Let's set it at 29.9 yuan."
"As before, for every item sold, the Land of Light will donate 1 yuan to a poverty-stricken mountain area education assistance project."
"hiss."
Upon hearing this, Ma Tian gasped in shock.
"Director Yang, I'm truly impressed by your vision!"
29.9 yuan.
This price was completely beyond Ma Tian's expectations.
He originally thought that, based on the popularity of "Kuuga",
Considering the playability and cost of the belt, Yang Qian will appropriately raise the price.
Which similar playable toys on the market don't start at two or three hundred yuan?
Moreover, it's a simplified version with relatively basic functions.
This is an official authentic Kuuga belt, made with solid materials, offering a variety of ways to play, and boasting an incredibly high level of accuracy, yet it's only selling for 29.9?
Ma Tian had already seen the belt sell out immediately after it went on sale.
This time, we must make sure that Xiao Ma sets 100 million belts in the backend inventory.
Forget it, 200 million is safer.
"Since there's nothing else, I'll head back now."
"Also, I'll take two of these belts home to play with."
Yang Qian put away the test report and casually picked up two belts from the table.
They didn't even use the packaging boxes produced by the factory.
It was just stuffed directly into a white supermarket shopping bag.
Ma Tian watched as Yang Qian carried a plastic bag and left leisurely, as if she had just bought groceries.
He opened his mouth, but ultimately couldn't bring himself to ask him to stay for dinner.
Director Yang's style of doing things is truly unique.
Miriam Yeung: Unpacking and stuff like that is the most troublesome thing.
……
Industrial Park Management Office, Manager's Office.
"Manager Li, this is just a small token of my appreciation. Thank you for your hard work these past few days. Please accept it."
Yang Qian found Li Lin and handed him the white plastic bag containing the contents.
Upon seeing this situation, alarm bells rang in Li Lin's mind.
He quickly waved his hand and stepped back, refusing with righteous indignation.
"Director Yang! What are you doing! You mustn't do this, absolutely not!"
"Serving your Land of Light Studio is my job; I don't deserve such a generous gift!"
"Manager Li, please don't misunderstand. It's really just a local specialty, not worth much money."
Yang Qian attempted to explain.
Upon hearing this, Li Lin became even more vigilant.
My workplace recently organized an ideological education session on integrity and public service.
The cases of people failing because of "small things" or "local specialties" are still fresh in our minds.
He had just taken this seat when countless eyes were fixed on him.
Yang Qian's gift-giving at this moment is practically pushing him into a fire pit.
Could the rumors circulating online be true, and this young man have started to go astray?
A sense of disappointment welled up in Li Lin's heart.
"Director Yang, I believe that a young person with such a promising future as you should focus their efforts on the right path!"
"Instead of resorting to these crooked and unethical methods!"
Li Lin's tone was serious, carrying a hint of disappointment.
Yang Qian was stunned for a moment, then realized that Li Lin had misunderstood.
He smiled helplessly, opened the plastic bag, and showed what was inside.
Two brand new Kamen Rider Kuuga belts.
There wasn't even any packaging.
"Manager Li, look, these are toys."
"These are samples that just came out of Tianma Toy Factory. I remember you have two children, so I just grabbed two for them to play with."
Li Lin stared at the two oddly shaped belts, his expression instantly freezing, his face twitching almost imperceptibly.
So all that back and forth they were going through was just about these two toys?!
He felt that his intense internal struggle just now was a joke.
"How much?"
Li Lin asked instinctively, but just to be on the safe side, he still needed to find out the details.
What if it's some kind of limited edition or collector's edition?
"29.9 each," Yang Qian said frankly.
"Just like with the magic light stick, for every one we sell, we donate one yuan to children in mountainous areas."
Li Lin: "..."
29.9?
The two together cost less than sixty yuan?
This price is less than what he spends on a fast food meal with his family on the weekend.
Li Lin, who had just been so righteous, just wanted to disappear into the ground.
Finally, Li Lin practically forced sixty yuan onto Yang Qian before he bought the two belts.
Li Lin: Just consider it buying a toy for the kid, and it's the first release.
Of course, when Yang Qian left, Li Lin did not forget to remind her: "Director Yang, I have also been paying attention to the online public opinion."
"Don't worry, the organization will handle any violations fairly."
He implied to Yang Qian that the innocent are innocent and that someone in higher positions is paying attention to this matter.
Irregular operation?
Of course not.
The labor contracts signed between the Land of Light and all voice actors are filed with the labor department, and the process is standardized.
Yang Qian also personally confirmed that these voice actors had been without work for at least a month before signing the contract.
There is absolutely no situation where "poaching caused the project to stall".
……
The following day, an official announcement bearing a red seal appeared on the homepage of the official websites of the Industry and Commerce Bureau and the Labor Bureau of City A.
[Joint Investigation Report Regarding the Employment of Voice Actors by the Land of Light Animation Studio]
1. Upon investigation, it was found that the Land of Light Animation Studio has signed formal labor contracts with all its voice actors and has paid social insurance and housing provident fund contributions in full and in accordance with the law, and the employment relationship is legal and compliant.
2. According to the labor contract filing and verification by multiple parties, all the voice actors involved had no stable voice acting projects for more than one month before joining the Land of Light.
This is completely inconsistent with online rumors that it "caused many ongoing projects to come to a standstill."
3. During the investigation, it was learned that some voice actors do need to rely on part-time jobs such as food delivery and ride-hailing to make a living when they are not working, and the industry ecosystem deserves attention.
The report is well-written and supported by solid evidence.
Every conclusion is supported by corresponding witness testimonies and physical evidence.
This official report instantly silenced all the doubts circulating online.
"I knew it! Ah Guang is definitely not that kind of person!"
"The official report is here! Are the haters embarrassed? Why aren't you barking anymore?"
"Hahaha, those who criticized me before for being mindless defenders, come out and show yourselves! Doesn't it feel good to be slapped in the face by the official authorities?"
"It's heartbreaking that a voice actor has to deliver food. Luckily, Ah-Guang took him in."
"Full social insurance and housing fund coverage, double pay for overtime—with these benefits, is it too late for me to learn voice acting? Is the Land of Light still hiring?"
Those who support Yang Qian and the Land of Light are elated and spreading the news.
Public opinion reversed instantly, and those trolls and haters who had been jumping around disappeared without a trace.
Inside the Land of Light's studio, Su Xiaoran stared in astonishment at the official report on her computer screen.
She looked at Yang Qian, who was still calmly reviewing the storyboard, and couldn't help but ask.
"Director Yang, did you prepare a backup plan all along? Were you just waiting for the official clarification?"
Yang Qian looked up from the screen, a look of confusion on her face.
"Prepare? What preparation?"
Miriam Yeung: Is it okay to be constantly criticized? Maybe I can still get another consolation prize from the system.
……
Tea room.
An elderly man in a Zhongshan suit poured Chen Guorong a cup of hot tea.
"Old Chen, why did you suddenly use your connections to get that report approved for a young animator?"
Chen Guorong picked up his teacup, blew on it to cool it, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face. He slowly said:
"It's about returning a favor."
"He helped me take care of so many younger voice actors, giving them a stable job and a stage to showcase their talents."
"Now that he's been splashed with dirty water, isn't it only right for an old man like me to lend a hand?"
