Andy and Robert egger, chairman and CEO of Disney, had lunch in a friendly atmosphere.

The other side, the purpose of meeting him, although there are dissatisfaction factors about the White House pressing the three major TV stations to broadcast the president's speech in prime time, Andy understands the real purpose of the other side -- Marvel group from some indirect hints of the other side.

As expected, I don't give up.

Now that the golden mountain of Marvel group has become its own, Andy will not let go of it, let alone 5 billion, that is 10 billion, and he will not consider it now.

Not to mention that the total box office of Marvel's movie universe series will exceed 10 billion yuan. Although the profit may not reach 10 billion yuan in his hands at last, don't forget that the influence that can be generated and the power that can be generated when pulling the whole industry, these intangible benefits, which Andy also attaches great importance to, dollar, he is really not short of now.

What's more, even if we get ten billion dollars, we still need to invest? In the bank, it will continue to depreciate. He can't think of any better quality asset than Marvel group, especially Marvel group, which has been fully activated by him.

Andy also guessed why Disney company brought up the old story again. Recently, some films produced by Disney film industry have been treated coldly by audiences, which makes people question the quality decline of these films. The company is also under the close supervision of public opinion, with great pressure. There is speculation that dick cook, chairman of Disney films, could be ousted.

"Eight billion dollars, Andy, we're very sincere. Four times the price when you buy. I believe that..."

Robert egger, who was aware that Andy didn't take the bait at all, didn't continue to make a detour. He quoted directly. In his opinion, 8 billion US dollars for Marvel acquisition, I believe that no one can refuse it. In more than a year, he made 6 billion US dollars by turning over his hand, and the bank robbing business didn't go so fast.

However, to his surprise, before he finished speaking, he saw Andy put down his knife and fork, shook his head with a smile, picked up his napkin and wiped his mouth. His eyes were filled with disbelief.

Seeing the look of the other side, Andy also smiled and sighed in his heart. This is the difference between the founder of an enterprise and a professional manager. The professional manager has been thinking about how to improve the performance, raise the stock price and seek short-term earnings. Entrepreneurs, on the other hand, want the long-term sustainable development of the company, not the sale of high-quality assets to make the company's finance look good.

"The price is really attractive. Unfortunately, marvel belongs to the non-sales products of our media group. I think you should have heard about it. The first stage of Marvel's film plan has been scheduled to 2018, and I am confident that Marvel can create more than 10 billion profits in this decade. So, let alone 8 billion, I will not sell 10 billion dollars.

Marvel to me, as ESPN to Disney, are not for sale! "

"That's a pity..." Hearing Andy's clear refusal, Robert egger shook his head and wryly smiled, "before, I talked to the board of directors and offered us $8 billion. Many directors also strongly opposed it. They thought the price was too high. Seriously, I always thought the price was an irresistible price. I didn't expect that..."

With that, Robert egger looked at Andy with a smile and sighed heartily: "everyone thinks you are a Wall Street Tycoon and like capital operation. Who would think that you are a real entrepreneur?"

"Thank you. To be a successful entrepreneur is the direction I have been striving for. I am very interested in making money. However, I am more interested in realizing the value of life. What should I leave to the world to prove that I have been here, rather than just a string of figures and a pile of dollars, do you think?"

Andy smiled, reached for the Goblet of wine, gestured to each other, and touched Andy with admiration. "It's true," he said, "although you refused the invitation, I sincerely hope that we can cooperate more in the future. Even though we have many business competitions, I believe that we will still have many opportunities for cooperation."

"Ha ha, of course." Andy didn't refuse the other side's good intentions, but chuckled: "in fact, we have been working together, my dark fairy series, is not the best example?"

"Ha ha, yes, to our cooperation, cheers."

"Cheers."

。。。。。。

After lunch and farewell, Andy and egger shook hands again and exchanged greetings. Then they sat in their cars and went their separate ways.

It is impossible to say that Robert egger is not disappointed when he is rejected this time. However, there is no way. Both Marvel group and NBC global are wholly owned by Andy Smith's wholly-owned holding company. No one can do it if he says not to sell.

To be honest, just like Robert egger, there are not a few people who are very jealous and regretful about Marvel's rise again. It's true to say, "at the beginning, you didn't respond to my love, but now I make you stand tall.". Previously, Disney's assessment of Marvel was that the 5000 characters owned by Marvel are the best assets, "this is a sleeping Golden Mountain".It's just that it's too late to say anything. At this time, marvel, which is fully activated, not only covers all the IPS to death, but also tries to recycle the lost IPS. It can be said that the means are all together, which is a little annoying. No matter Sony Colombia or fox in the 20th century, they are all worried about the new marvel.

However, as the most successful professional manager, Robert egger is not discouraged. Since Marvel group has missed it, put forward the alternative objectives. You should know that Disney's entertainment business empire has achieved the turning point again and again through the capital operation of "merger and acquisition".

As he presided over in 2006, Disney continued to remain absolutely competitive in the animation market through the $7.4 billion acquisition of Pixar. And in three years, through Pixar's excellent animation, Disney has created half of the box office of the original purchase price.

Originally, I wanted to seize the boy market through the acquisition of marvel and the superheroes in Marvel's hands, but now I can only choose Lucas film.

This time, no matter what, Disney will also "grab" the most mature and largest IP in the world - "Star Wars" series in the field of science fiction.

At this time, Andy naturally didn't know. Because of his refusal, Disney turned its spear to Lucas film, which even he coveted for a long time. He was sitting in the car seat, closed his eyes and whispered, "there shouldn't be two marvelous..."

The value of Marvel group has now been widely recognized by the market. This golden mountain is no longer sleeping, but also makes the IP that was once left out more precious. X-Men, magic four swordsmen and death attendants, as well as small spiders, are almost becoming his heart disease now. If Marvel film universe is extended to these "famous" superheroes, what a wonderful thing thing.

"There shouldn't be two marvels."

Andy suddenly opened his eyes, from the original murmur, into a strong tone, eyes light cold.

In fact, there is no way to replace the mutant with the alien, or to make moves on the mutant comics. As a superhero who has already become famous, X-Men have many fans and influence all over the world. They are not the same as the original invisible alien in Marvel comics. After all, wolverine, Professor X and Phoenix The roles of magneto king have long been popular.

So, the best way is to get these IP back, but in the face of fox, where oil and salt don't enter, Andy really can't find a good way to compromise each other.

Although Andy has an assassin's mace in his hand, he doesn't want to offend the old fox Murdoch. However, this time, he has made up his mind to "change" these IP addresses from fox. As for the means, whether they will appear inferior or not is beyond his consideration.

Besides, if you don't know what to do, Andy Smith just happens to be able to do it. I'm sure the old fox won't hate him.
