With a cold face, Ike pirmut walked firmly to the meeting room, where the staff pretended to be busy with their work.

Stan Lee's face was livid, and his eyes were filled with complex anger and helplessness. Things have been completely out of his control, and his friends and partners have shown their attitude. However, his shares in the hands of the general consultant are not much, which is nothing but to prevent Marvel from being acquired.

The door of the conference room was opened. There were already four people waiting in it. Seeing Stan Li coming, several people stood up to greet him. After all, the old man has been fighting for Marvel all his life and deserves the respect of all.

After the people sat down, Ike looked around for a week and said in a low voice, "you should have seen this morning's newspaper, right? I can tell you clearly that this is what the report says, and I have decided to accept Andy Smith's intention to buy and be willing to sell the shares. You all decide whether to sell the shares respectively. If the shares you are willing to sell add up to more than 50%, then we can start the negotiation. "

The four shareholders looked at Zhang Hong's old face. Stan Li, who was angry in his eyes, looked at each other.

"I have 21% of the shares in my hand. I can sell them. I don't know how much Andy Smith is going to offer?" A shareholder of about thirty years old pushed his glasses and asked without hesitation.

Seeing the second generation of young people who inherited the shares of their old friends, Ike said without any emotional fluctuation: "Andy Smith initially decided to use $2 billion as the acquisition capital..."

"That's not the price..."

"I can't accept this offer either..."

"Quiet! I have rejected his offer, but from this offer, I believe you have also seen his sincerity. The total assets of Marvel are about 2.3 billion. Andy Smith should be very clear that he is no doubt to set a range for the next negotiation. I will strive for the best interests for you, which will certainly not be less than 2.3 billion. "

Ike's words will be recognized by several people The same nodding, but also seriously consider up.

"You should also be aware that the financial market in the United States is a bit strange recently. All of us are smart people. Michael is young here. We have experienced this situation many times. When we can't see the market clearly, we need to prepare cash to wait and see. This is the main reason why we old people can stand still.

Now that Marvel has slowed down its vitality, it can also bring you a generous return of the efforts and persistence over the years!

If there is no opinion, then you can sign an agreement, indicating the amount of shares you are willing to sell. I will negotiate on behalf of you. After the price is negotiated, I will notify you. After everyone agrees, the transaction can be completed. "

Stan Li read the agreement after watching the other four shareholders take it. Only two shareholders who had cooperated for many years nodded to him apologetically. The other two young people who inherited the property signed the agreement without hesitation.

Holding a large company with a value of more than two billion yuan and so many IP copyrights, but still can't make a lot of money. Instead, I once borrowed money from the bank, and even made a loss for several years. I can't even get the dividend. Why do you keep the shares of such a company and talk about feelings? Don't be funny!

"Stan... Come on, you won't sell it for sure. In this way, except for 6% of your shares, 94% of your shares have been decided to sell. Let's be patient and wait for the news! " Ike pirmut was also a little upset. Unexpectedly, everyone didn't have much nostalgia for marvel.

Also, no matter how many IP copyrights can't be exchanged for Mido, it's also garbage.

For Andy, this is undoubtedly very beneficial. If we wait another year for Gao fushai's iron man to be released and win 585 million global box office, then we want to buy Marvel, even if there is no 4 billion left.

Now, hehe, the six major film companies are not interested in Marvel, only in taking over several popular superhero copyrights.

No one knows better than Andy who will dominate Hollywood films in the future. It's all hot IP adaptation films. Superheroes have completely occupied Hollywood's summer archives.

In the future, Hollywood films, simple action films and science fiction films have become the general trend of decline, and are no longer the panacea to ensure the box office.

On the contrary, the superhero movies began to work. The founding of the school almost became a kind of Du Li movie type. It was a mixture of action, adventure, fantasy, science fiction, love and other forms, which could attract the audience to the greatest extent. And the most important point is that these superheroes need a wide fan base.

Generations of Americans, people from other countries affected by American culture, are potential consumers.

Of course, the most important thing is that the computer digital imaging technology has taken over the production of special effects in an all-round way, the Hollywood film industry has completed the upgrading, and the technology has begun to compete with the era of creativity.

3D, IMAX, Dolby's panoramic sound and Niubi's movement and expression capture technology can fully play the imagination of the cartoon.

It can be said that whoever holds the IP copyright is entitled to cut the biggest piece of Hollywood cake for himself.If Andy acquires Marvel successfully, he can transform Marvel from an IP provider to an IP giant in the whole industry without any effort.

Summit Entertainment Film Company is a new film company, which is true, but it was founded by distribution, and its distribution ability is no worse than any one of the six.

In the 1980s, the U.S. government lifted the restrictions of the anti-monopoly law of Hollywood film companies, and instead encouraged the big six to return to the era of controlling the entire industrial chain.

It's a pity that even if they don't carry out the whole industry layout, they won't have any impact on their own interests. Instead, they can get rid of all kinds of huge expenses. When they build cinemas in the United States, they have no interest in the expectations of the government.

Industry segmentation, on the contrary, has made Hollywood film companies grow faster. Otherwise, DreamWorks will not rise rapidly in the cracks of the six, almost becoming the seventh largest example.

But Andy wants to connect his industry, and he needs to be killed. NIMA and marvel are so skilled at digging holes and burying themselves. They are always marvelous at filling and digging holes.

Marvel reached an agreement with paramount in 2005 to release 10 of Marvel's films over the next eight years.

Andy looks at the details of Marvel company sent by Ike pirmut, with toothache.

He knows better than anyone that before his crossing, "Captain America 3" was still in production, and "Avengers 2" ended up with a total global box office of 1.4 billion, which is only the 10th movie made by marvel.

In the first stage of Marvel movie universe, with six films, the global box office reached 3.74 billion US dollars at a total cost of 1 billion US dollars. In the second stage, the box office has reached more than 6 billion US dollars.

Andy knows about Marvel's movie universe. In the second stage, there are three civil wars, three infinite wars and three thunders.

Nearly 9 billion cakes, Andy said nothing will be shared by paramount. If he doesn't want to, he will spend money to eliminate the disaster.

"What a pitiful father NIMA is!" Andy throws his papers on the desk, frowns tightly and holds his temples.

Although very fidgety, Andy reluctantly continued to pick up the discarded information and read it.

Andy's purchase of marvel is not only to use Marvel's role image to make movies, but also to bring about the peripheral effects of movies, especially toys and dolls.

A good peripheral development income may reach three times of the box office income. For an influential role, it is almost a business with no loss.

Before the box office sales of several "Spider Man", although there were many peripheral copyrights such as spider man, iron man, X-Men, thunderobot, etc., the retail sales of authorized products were less than 200 million dollars.

That's why Andy's bid is so low.

But just a year later, in 2008, the mutant and spider were made into a series by Fox and Sony. After the fire of iron man, the retail sales of Marvel's authorized products soared to 4 billion dollars.

By the time "Avengers League" was released, it was worth six billion dollars.

One year later, the situation, capital and status will change dramatically. That's why Disney had to use 4.2 billion cash plus shares to acquire marvel in 2009. In US dollars, Disney spent about 5.4 billion to complete the acquisition.

Andy's entry point of this time is undoubtedly to take the advantage of the sky. The price of cabbage in 1996 and the dark period before dawn in 2007.

Andy likes Jackie Ma's words very much - today will be cruel, tomorrow will be more cruel, the day after tomorrow will be beautiful, but most people will die tomorrow night.

Now by Andy buy kick out of the game, no doubt that most of the people died in tomorrow's pull!

Dong Dong -

"please come in." Andy did not look up, but continued to look at the information in his hand.

"Boss."

"Al, sit down first. What can I drink? Tell Tori to let her take it for you. I'll see it right away. Just a moment." Andy looks up at alvertriel and continues to read.

It was about five minutes before Andy put the papers back on the table and saw Al drinking slowly with his coffee.

"How is it? Does the think tank have any suggestions on some authorization documents and agreements sent by marvel and signed by other companies? Is there any room for operation? "

Al put down his coffee cup, frowned, shook his head seriously, and said, "it's almost impossible without paying."

Andy can't help but smile and shake his head, helplessly said, "talk about it."

"If we want to breach the agreement with paramount, we need to pay about $130 million. Spider man can't get back the copyright, but we can continue to fight with Sony Colombia. We should be able to reach an agreement to increase the share of copyright. As for Fox's X-Men... No chance at all! "

alvette's face was serious and he was very helpless when he looked at the boss who was in silence. This mang company was absolutely a wonderful flower in the wonderful work. Where cartoon was still painted, and the business that sold the entire series of copyright in the publication was really unable to make complaints about it.
