Back at Purple Star Manor, John felt like his legs were filled with lead, the road he walked that day may have used up his share of the year, and he finally knew why men were reluctant to accompany women shopping, which had nothing to do with not paying out of pocket, but was too tired.

When he got up the next day, John didn't go to exercise, and his legs were still very sore after a night's rest, so he decided to temporarily cancel his morning run for the next few days.

After breakfast, after returning to the living room, John gave himself a pot of tea, and the unique bluegrass fragrance of the big red robe was quiet and long, which he liked very much.

However, just as John was ready to enjoy the moment, Darren Morgan, who had come from outside, stopped the time.

"Brother, the New Line Film Company is about to fall. Darren Morgan said eagerly as soon as he sat down.

John picked up an empty cup and poured him tea: "What, Warner's people are starting to make contact with the new line?"

"Yes, yesterday they had their first negotiations, the outcome of which is unknown. Darren Morgan took a sip of his teacup and then put it down. "We're not going to have to do it. ”

"Yes. John nodded and arranged: "You are in contact with the new line as the head of the media subsidiary of AT&T. ”

Why do you want to use the AT&T brand?

That's because the reputation of Star-Lord is too small and the strength is too weak, and it is not the same grade as the rival Warner, and it is impossible for the new line to choose Star-Lord.

So John must find a big backer for Star-Lord, AT&T is a good choice, the leader of mobile communications in the United States, and this strength is beyond the reach of Warner.

"Okay. Darren Morgan nodded, then asked. "So how do we quote?"

John thought about it, and it seemed that Warner spent $120 million to acquire the new line in the previous life.

"Let's quote $150 million. "John is paying $30 million more than Warner, and AT&T is stronger than Warner, so John's side has an advantage in this competition, and if nothing else, New Line Pictures should choose him.

"Good. Darren Morgan nodded.

"Are you going to buy the new line?"

Just as John and Darren Morgan were about to end their conversation, Davin Morgan, who was passing by, heard their conversation and walked over.

"Yes, Auntie, we are going to buy New Line Films, so that we have our own production and distribution company. John replied as he poured tea for Devin Morgan.

"Brother JK, you're buying the company again. Ariana, who had returned from the restaurant, had just heard John's words and asked happily.

John's acquisition of the company was a joy for her, because she had an investment fee with John, and she would have a stake in every company John acquired.

"Yes. John nodded, picked up the teacup and poured Ariana another cup of tea.

"Great, what do you want me to do this time?" asked Ariana excitedly, having made a move the last time she bought Rolls-Royce.

"I don't need your help this time, just to buy a small company worth no more than $200 million. ”

"Okay!"

Ariana was instantly uninterested when she heard that the small company worth no more than $200 million, and her appetite was nurtured by John.

"John, who are you going to manage when you buy New Line Films?" Davin Morgan continued the unfinished topic after seeing that Ariana was silent.

"I can't. Before John could speak, Darren Morgan spoke first.

He is a layman in the film and television industry, and he simply does not know how to manage a film and television company.

"Don't worry, you just need to manage the investment and negotiate well. John patted Darren Morgan on the shoulder, he knew that Darren Morgan was not well managed, so he didn't think about it at all.

"I want you to manage. John looked at Devin Morgan.

His ideal caretaker was none other than his aunt.

"Me?"

Devin Morgan pointed at himself in surprise.

"Yes. John gave Devon Morgan an affirmative look.

"Are you trying to exhaust me to death?" exclaimed Devon Morgan.

ICM has enough to do, and if she adds New Line Films, then she doesn't have to rest.

"ICM is just a small brokerage company with limited development and can be handed over to someone else.

The film company is the big one, my idea is to make the crown company the largest film and television media company in the United States, such a large company must be managed by people who are safe and capable, aunt, you are the most reliable person in me, and your talent to manage a brokerage company is too big and too much. ”

John's purpose in bringing Devin Morgan to Hollywood was never to manage an agency, otherwise it would be too big to be overused, and his purpose in bringing Devon Morgan to Hollywood has always been to make Devin Morgan the head of a media giant.

"Then who are you going to hand over ICM to take care of?" Devin Morgan felt that John's arrangement was also right, the brokerage company structure is too small, no matter how it develops, it cannot compare with the media giants, the former has a profit of more than a billion dollars at most, but the latter can reach tens of billions of dollars, the two are not of the same order.

"After a few years of research, I think Nancy is a good candidate. John thought about it.

Moreover, ICM was founded by Nancy's father, and Nancy has feelings for ICM, and it is more reassuring to hand it over to her John.

"Nancy is a good candidate and has a good level of business, but she is relatively new to management. "Devon Morgan is Nancy's boss, so he naturally knows Nancy's level.

"So I'd like to ask you to take her with you during this time so that she can get familiar with ICM management as soon as possible. ”

"That's fine, just give me some time. Devon Morgan nodded.

"Then it was decided. John said and set up his work.

"Darren, you are mainly responsible for the acquisition of New Line Film Company during this time, and your aunt will be responsible for bringing Nancy and preparing for the handover, and I will be responsible for the post-production of "Forrest Gump". ”

"What about me?"

Dani was just returning from the dining room to catch up with John to arrange the task.

"You?" John thought for a moment, "aren't you going back to Harvard? ”

"Alright!" said Daini, finding a place to sit down.

"Oh, by the way, you remember to follow Marvel. John reminded. "The acquisition of their shares cannot be stopped. ”

"Don't worry, I've been doing this, and I'm going to make an appointment with several directors of Marvel in the second half of the year, as long as they buy their shares, Marvel will be ours. Although Dani was in school, she never let go of her work.

"Yes, good. The speed can be accelerated, and it is best to buy Marvel in the second half of this year in case they sell their heroes. John admonished again.

In the previous life, Marvel survived by selling the company's heroes, so "Spider-Man" went to Sony, "X-Men", "Deathside" and "Fantastic Four" went to Fox, and the heroes in it all caught up with "The Avengers", if it wasn't for the success of "Iron Man", maybe even "The Avengers" would have to run to someone else's home.
