Chapter 453 Persuasion
Arriving at William White's comic studio, Stan Lee is amazed. There are many rumors about the richest man in the outside world, although most of them are chiseled, but there are also some things that have gradually become a consensus.
For example, this comic, the industry doesn't think that William White has so much inspiration. These ideas of his are also purchased at a high price.
After meeting the studio, those thoughts were already behind him. The reason is simple, this studio is too shabby, very inappropriate for the elaborate edifice outside, but very similar to his studio at Marvel, only larger.
"Boss, Mr. Stan Lee is here. ”
"Okay, thank you Suzuki, bring us a cup of coffee, Stan, I have fifteen minutes left, can you take a look at it first, can you have a cup of coffee?"
"Okay, no problem. ”
"It's a bit chaotic here, don't let people in, just feel free. ”
Stan Lee smiled bitterly, this guy is not out of sight. As an expert, he can certainly see that William White is not pretending, and without years of accumulation, he can't paint at his level at all.
Sketching is something that practice makes perfect, and you can't play it without ten or eight years.
"You're a Transformer?"
"Yes, it will be used in movies in the future, but it will not be used for the time being. Stan Lee was stunned, making movies? No wonder this style of painting is so detailed, it seems that the gap here at Marvel is not a star and a half, and other people's movies and comics are fundamentally different things.
Hyper-realistic sketches, which William White rarely painted, were too time-consuming. In Stan Lee's eyes, there is a difference, not to mention any painting style, this painting technique is unique.
"William, do you have any particular attention to this way of drawing? ”
"Yes, I have absorbed some of the painting methods of oil painting, I call it hyper-realistic, but it is a little troublesome, and I don't paint it in general, this is for testing. Ahem, use the scanner to save the artwork into the computer, and then make this guy do all sorts of actions, you know, Stan, if it works, I can start making a big Transformers movie. ”
"Can today's computers do this?" Stan Lee was amazed, and if it could, it would be wonderful.
William White shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Not yet, it's just a kind of goods, you can come and see." ”
After speaking, he took the little old man to toss his computer.
"This 3D accelerator card is just like that, but the computer is developing very quickly, and it won't take too much time for it to meet my requirements. ”
What does it look like?
Something that shocked Stan Lee was judged by someone to be a good look. Stan Lee was speechless, he could see that no one could compete with the Vikings without strong capital support.
The chat with William White was very pleasant, and all kinds of rumors from the outside world are simply nonsense. The success of this guy is definitely not accidental.
What the hell is DC vs Marvel, though?
Thinking back to the recent DC comics, Stan Lee was surprised to find that DC was also playing with the concept of the ultimate universe. Most importantly, William White is talking about movies, not comics.
Tsk, this guy, no wonder he didn't suppress Marvel, now it seems that he has long been regarded as a Chinese meal by others.
A little silly and a little relieved at the same time, you have made the richest man in the family think about this, you can imagine how great Marvel's potential will be.
William White's requirements for Marvel are very simple, do a good job of comics, make those IPs come alive, and don't try to give up any comic book characters.
Stan Lee couldn't think of a reason to refuse, and the trouble with Marvel was that there were no people who were good at running a business, no long-term planning, and no money to squander.
If it is acquired, these current problems will not be a problem. Without those blind investments, it is not difficult for Marvel to achieve profitability, and those TV series and movies hit the streets, and it is not the responsibility of the comic studio.
The most stubborn little old man does not object, and the others naturally have nothing to say, all they care about is interests. And William White's bid was 30% higher than that Wall Street bastard.
Since it is not a public company acquisition, the transaction is outrageously simple, almost like going to buy a car.
Lanai's auction was unveiled, and the invited guests were either rich or expensive. Thinking of the grand opening of the golf course, many people are starting to get ready for it.
The Celestial Empire doesn't need to be invited this time, the task of attracting foreign capital is very heavy, so naturally it is necessary to come over and publicize it.
"Tsk, Suzuki, tell me over there, there is a charity auction this time, the theme is to donate African food, and the specific person responsible for the operation of the funds is the International Food Agency, if it is convenient, it is better to donate an antique in your own name. ”
"Okay, boss, I got it. ”
William White's idea is very simple, you can brush your face, you can also pull investment, you have to have a reason to attend. In a few decades, I believe that there will be no need. That was the time period when the Celestial Empire tyrants bought the whole world, and now is not the time.
These commercial activities of Lao Mei are sometimes very hypocritical. It's not that you can't participate, first you need to get an invitation, and secondly, you have to do something meaningful.
Well, it makes sense for you to say that I pull investment. You can only go back and talk about this thing slowly, and if you say it directly, the organizers will be very embarrassed.
In fact, whether it is a member of the royal family of John Bull or a commercial representative of the foot basin, it is almost the same way. William White is doing a charity auction, and you can't think of it as an informal meeting of leaders, it's two different things entirely.
As the time approaches, Lanai Island is becoming more and more lively, and if it were not for the two five-star hotels that have been built, I am afraid it would be really difficult to arrange so many people.
A desert island with only a few pineapples has become expensive, which makes a group of real estate developers envious and crazy, and it is a pity that they have no way to share.
The wealthy class of American imperialism is very fond of farming, and they don't like to toss around in the country too much, because the relevant laws are relatively perfect, even if it is your private property, you will not be allowed to mess around.
It doesn't matter if some places in South America, the small islands in the Caribbean are also very casual, and you can even install a missile defense system, as long as someone is willing to sell it.
It is a pity that there are many people who like farming, but very few succeed in it, and they basically make a mess and then leave a mess and run away.
Looking at Lanai, not to mention the $2 million dollar per card, the so-called annual maintenance fee is also an amazing income. Well, now the richest man feels that it is too lonely, and he actually has an auction.
Nima, should the auction be so far away, no matter where you fly from, it will take nearly ten hours, and in some places it is even farther.
The strangest thing is that there are no flights. It's okay if you have a private jet, but if you don't, you can only go to Hawaii first and then take a yacht to Lanai.
