Chapter 424: Marvel
Early the next morning, Zheng Yan and Bill Miller arrived at Marvel's headquarters in New York. Because of the arrival of Zheng Yan and the others, it has added a different color to the gloomy Marvel.
For Ron Pereman, the current Marvel is a hot potato, and it is rare for Zheng Yan to show his intention to take over, he naturally wants to get out as soon as possible, and not only that, he also sees the hope of finally making a fortune from Marvel.
And other people at Marvel, especially old Marvel people like Stan Lee, are full of affection for Marvel and welcome Zheng Yan's arrival. Not for anything else, just because they also see hope, and they see the hope that Marvel will continue.
"Hello Mr. Zheng, I'm Ron Pereman, it's a pleasure to meet you. ”
"Hello Mr. Pereman, you must know what I am here for, so let's get straight to the point. I still have a lot of things to take care of, and I don't want to be delayed too much time because of a Marvel acquisition. ”
Zheng Yan said it so directly, Ron Pereman didn't react for a while. After receiving the news from Bill Miller yesterday, he began to imagine this negotiation, and even organized countless rhetoric to draw in the relationship, but unfortunately Ron Pereman's enthusiasm was obviously used in the wrong place, and Zheng Yan was not even in the mood to greet him at all.
However, Zheng Yan's words also inadvertently offended Stan Lee and others, especially Stan Lee, his feelings for Marvel can be said to be unmatched, and Zheng Yan's attitude of not taking the acquisition of Marvel seriously made him extremely dissatisfied, and even began to worry about Marvel's future future.
Perhaps among the people present, only Bill Miller knew that the reason why Zheng Yan was so strong was because Zheng Yan had a bad impression of Ron Perreman under his influence, and on the other hand, Zheng Yan wanted to take the initiative from the very beginning of the negotiations.
Although Ron Pereman also felt uncomfortable, he belonged to the kind of person who put interests first, and he didn't pay much attention to face or anything. Facing his God of Wealth, he still squeezed out a smile and said, "Since that's the case, then let's start directly." ”
"My offer for Marvel Mr. Zheng should already know, and you must know that Marvel is definitely the greatest comic book company in American history, as long as you win it
Marvel is equivalent to taking the entire American superheroes into the bag. ”
"Marvel has successfully built thousands of superheroes in the past few decades, and as long as any of them are successfully adapted into movies, Mr. Zheng can recoup his investment in Marvel, so I think the offer that was told to Mr. Miller before is very reasonable. ”
Zheng Yan was not surprised by Ron Pereman's reaction. If the other party takes the initiative to make concessions as soon as he comes up, Zheng Yan will be worried.
"Mr. Pereman, since you also know that Marvel's superheroes can make a profit as long as they are successfully put on the screen, then why don't you do it yourself? No one is a fool, and Marvel's superheroes are not without examples of adaptation into movies, but have they succeeded?"
"Movies are made with money, not words, and Mr. Pereman should know better than I know how much of the stakes there are. My relationship with Longteng is not a secret, and that's why I'm here. ”
"I think I'm a good screenwriter, and I'll admit that I wanted to bring Marvel superheroes to the screen, but I wasn't sure I would succeed. Mr. Pereman thinks I'm going to throw $300 million in advance without any certainty?"
"As for Marvel, it was true that it was the greatest comic book company in the United States, but it didn't bring me any benefits. Moreover, since Mr. Pereman became the owner of Marvel, Marvel has nothing to do with the word greatness, not even success. ”
Hearing Zheng Yan's ridicule, Stan Lee and the others couldn't help laughing, but Ron Pereman himself didn't react in the slightest, and he couldn't even see a trace of dissatisfaction.
"Mr. Zheng, in terms of Marvel's management, I admit to being a very failure, but you are different. As far as I know, as long as it is Mr. Zheng's investment projects, all of them have been successful, without exception. Others may not be able to do anything about Marvel's situation, but I believe that Mr. Zheng must have a way. ”
In the face of Ron Pereman's flattery, Zheng Yan suddenly had the urge to scold his mother, thinking: I have mocked you like this, you still flatter me with your face, do you still have a little shame?
But Zheng Yan also
Clearly, this is all due to fame. If it hadn't been too sharp, there wouldn't have been these troubles, and if Bill Miller hadn't been allowed to negotiate in the first place, things might have been much simpler, but unfortunately there are no ifs in this world...
"Mr. Pereman, we have a saying in China, which is called walking by the river, how can you not get your shoes wet. As long as I've been in the investment industry, I can't say that I won't fail. Just like this acquisition of Marvel, believe it or not, I'm not sure it's going to bring it back to life. ”
"Since Mr. Pereman has heard about my investment, then you should know that most of my investment is concentrated in the Internet industry, as long as it is an Internet-related company, and there is an opportunity, I will step in. I'm just casting a wide net, so I always catch fish. ”
"Okay, that's all off topic, let's talk about the Marvel acquisition. Just when Ron Perreman felt that what Zheng Yan said made sense, Zheng Yan changed the conversation and returned to the acquisition of Marvel.
"I also know Mr. Pereman's offer to Marvel, and I can give you an answer right now, the price is beyond my reach. Now I can tell you my offer, fifty million dollars, plus taking on all the liabilities of Marvel, and if you don't accept it, I'll give up. ”
I have to say that Zheng Yan's words changed so quickly that even Bill Miller didn't react. As for Ron Pereman, he was still muttering in his heart: Is this an ultimatum?
"Mr. Zheng, if that's the case, then I can only express regret. Ron Pereman thought about it for a while, but still rejected Zheng Yan's conditions.
In fact, Ron Perreman was very satisfied with Zheng Yan's offer, but he still wanted to gamble, so he bet that Zheng Yan was bound to win Marvel. To say that Zheng Yan ran to the Marvel headquarters early in the morning, just to give an offer of 50 million US dollars, he didn't believe it to kill Ron Pereman.
"In that case, I hope we will have the opportunity to cooperate in the future. After Zheng Yan finished speaking, he got up and walked to the door.
Ron Pereman found that Zheng Yan didn't seem to be pretending, and he couldn't help but start to get anxious, and just as he was about to shout to stop Zheng Yan, Zheng Yan suddenly stopped again.
