The next day, John prepares to return to Los Angeles to deal with the film business, while Dani stays at the estate to take care of some business.

"Dani, let IBM develop the website I need as soon as possible. In addition, this year they set up an Internet company called Yahoo, and they are now short of money, so take some money and invest in them. As he was leaving, John told him again what was important.

"Okay boss, I'll urge IBM, and I'll let Yahoo negotiate with you. Dani wrote down what John had told him to do in a small notebook.

Seeing her serious appearance, John smiled slightly and joked: "Isn't it troublesome for you to carry a small notebook every day? What if it is dropped? boss will develop a hand-held computer for you another day, so that you can work more efficiently, even if you accidentally lose it, all the contents recorded in it can be retrieved." ”

"Okay boss, I'll wait. Dani shrugged: "Boss, you be careful all the way, you have to take good care of yourself without me by your side." ”

"Okay, goodbye!"

John waved his hand and got into the car and left Morgan Manor.

At seven o'clock in the evening, when the lights were on, John returned to the Purple Star Manor, and he was not there for a few months, the Purple Star Manor was still the same Purple Star Manor, Nancy still often came to the Manor to have dinner, and now there was another Joanna Philip, and Davin Morgan and Darren Morgan were still busy every day.

The summer vacation is about to begin, and this time is the busiest day for film companies, and the first film of the new line, "The Seven Deadly Sins", will be released on May 10, and it is only a month away.

"Brother, you're finally back, if you don't come back, I'm going to go home and tie you up. Darren Morgan was surprised when he returned to the manor and saw John sitting in the living room drinking tea leisurely.

"What's the matter, what's going on?" John saw that Devin Morgan and Darren Morgan were back, and raised his hand to pour tea for them.

"You don't know, we're all busy. Darren Morgan grumbled, picked up his teacup and drank it down.

"Busy?" John looked sideways at Darren Morgan, "Aren't you just responsible for buying Marvel? How busy can this be? Why haven't you done this after a few months?"

"That's it, Marvel belongs to Star-Lord from today, but it costs an extra 500 million dollars. Darren Morgan said as he took the contract out of his bag and handed it to John.

Looking at the contract in his hand, John nodded with satisfaction, Star-Lord spent $1.2 billion before and after, and finally got this cash cow, why did John only use 1.2 billion, Di Baobao used more than 4 billion that year, the time is different, Di Baobao's acquisition of Marvel is "Iron Man" has come out, can it not cost much?

"Why did you spend an extra $5 million?" John wondered.

Because he wanted to compensate Stan Lee, he signed a contract with Marvel, and if Marvel made movies and television in the future, he had to give him 10% of the profit share, so he was given 5 million and asked him to automatically give up this contract. "Darren Morgan naturally couldn't have let Stan Lee pick the fruit.

And Stan Lee is also willing to accept such compensation, he thinks in his heart that it will be difficult for Marvel to survive, and the movie that still makes fart may not be able to be made until he closes his eyes, so he is naturally happy to leave with 5 million and go to open his entertainment company.

After hearing that this was the case, John didn't bother with 5 million, and immediately ordered: "Change Marvel's name from a comic book company to Marvel Entertainment." "Removing comics and changing to entertainment is the direction John has set for Marvel in the future.

"Okay, brother, when are you going to start Marvel's movie project?" Darren Morgan bought Marvel, naturally hoping to make achievements for the family earlier.

"There's no hurry, it's ten years from now! John also wanted to shoot, but the technology did not allow it, and the environment did not allow it, the reason why Marvel was able to sell well was not only the special effects and story, but also the social environment, when 911 was filmed in "Iron Man", the United States was in a high degree of anti-terrorism, and the people in China were panicking, and the people were desperate to have a hero come out to save the world.

And at this time, superheroes appeared, and what could not be achieved in reality, the movie realized, so superheroes are the needs of the people and the products of the times.

And Marvel's luck is very good, when people in North America are tired of watching superheroes, the box office of Rabbit Country increases year by year, and later it becomes the second largest box office in the world.

Therefore, Marvel's success is not only the demand of the people, the product of the times, but also the bonus of luck.

But Darren Morgan doesn't know this, when he heard John say that ten years later, he immediately wailed, originally thinking that the acquisition of Marvel would start the movie project, and then kill all sides at the box office, so that he could raise his head when he went back to Morgan Manor for a meeting, but now it will be ten years, the daylily is cold, the key is not to start the movie project, Marvel is losing money, the family knows that he buys a company at a loss every year, and he loses money for ten years, so how can he raise his head and behave.

"Brother, you won't let Marvel lose ten years in a row, right?"

"Why not? Good things are worth waiting, and the loss for ten consecutive years is only a dozen or two billion, but after ten years, this is an IP worth hundreds of billions of dollars. John's words are not an exaggeration, the current Marvel is not the dilapidated Marvel that Di Baobao acquired later, the current Marvel is a hero who has lost everything, so in the future, there will be not only "Avengers" but also "X-Men", "Fantastic Four", "Spider-Man", "Blade...... , and the box office of these movies alone is 30 billion, even "Star Wars", which is known as the largest IP in the universe, is not as high as it, and the box office only accounts for 30% of the revenue, and other derivatives are the majority.

"John, are you sure that the Marvel project is worth hundreds of billions?" Devin Morgan, who had not spoken on the side, was finally not calm, as a direct member of the Morgan family, he could not care about tens of billions, but at the level of 100 billion, except for the old Morgan and the old Rockefeller, others could not be so calm.

"Absolutely. John affirmed.

"Then you want to build Star-Lord into a company with a market value of hundreds of billions. "Devin Morgan is looking forward to it, there are many Morgan companies, but there are not many companies with a market value of hundreds of billions.

"Of course, that's my goal. John's goal is to surpass Disney to become the world's largest entertainment company.

"Then I'll see. Devon Morgan took a sip of tea from his teacup: "But I still want to know how you built Star-Lord into a company worth hundreds of billions." ”

"We now have ICM, New Line, Marvel, basically have solved the problem of film and television production and distribution, and the next step is that I plan to continue to expand production, distribution, and accumulate copyrights, so I am ready to acquire Lucasfilm and Pixar Film, so that we have the ability to produce and distribute live-action and animation.

Then to develop upstream of the industry, I plan to set up an online website and acquire a few more publishing houses, so that I can hoard IP and provide a steady stream of high-quality resources for our future animation, movies, and TV series.

Subsequently, I developed to the downstream of the industry, set up an online video broadcasting website, rented a spy company, acquired one or two large advertising companies, and then merged the game company in my hand, so as to maximize the income of IP.

When the IP is almost developed, I will work with Sony and Universal to develop amusement parks with high-quality IP in my hands and squeeze the final value of the IP.

At the same time, the rabbit country and Russia have reached an agreement with me to agree that the duke will enter their market and open theaters, so in the future, we will open 4,000 theaters in China, 2,000 theaters in Russia, and 80 theaters in Japan.

Therefore, in the future, Star-Lord will be an entertainment company from IP incubation, film and television production, distribution, games, amusement parks and other peripheral development. It will be the most sound entertainment company in the world, and it will be the largest entertainment company in the world. ”
