Marvel has been through a lot since its inception in 1939.

During the period, he experienced wind and rain and encountered countless ups and downs

However, a lot of interesting things have happened.

For example, when "Captain America" was created, it was in the forties, that is, during World War II, and the United States and Japan were also at war. As a result, Captain America frantically tore devils and overturned the Führer in the comics, and trampled Japan under his feet. Fearing that Japan would retaliate, the mayor of New York even listed Joe Simon and Jack Kirby as key protection targets for a time!

Another interesting thing is that a month before President Nixon was impeached because of the "Watergate scandal", Nixon in the cartoon actually "apologized with death" in front of Captain America, and he was in a groove, which was too hanging, and it was not harmonized!

New York, Marvel Headquarters.

"Guys, I want to tell you something very important. Just three o'clock this afternoon, Galaxy Pictures called our company and said they were buying Marvel!" Stan Lee announced loudly.

When they heard this, they looked at each other, but no one spoke.

At this moment, the door of the office was suddenly pushed open, but no one saw it, but the voice came: "Haha, I didn't expect Galaxy Pictures to want to buy Marvel, hehe, what else do you want, you must sell it, and you have to sell it at a good price!"

"Ron Pereman, you're coming pretty fast!" Stan Lee said with a slight mockery.

Ron Perreman, on the other hand, was unconcerned, apparently used to it. He walked to the top and sat down, glanced at everyone, and said loudly: "Marvel is about to go bankrupt, what are you still thinking about." In my opinion, don't think about anything, just see how much money the other person can contribute! By the way, Stan Lee, I'm in a hurry, I don't know much about the specifics. I think you should be very clear. How much money is Galaxy Pictures going to spend on buying Marvel?"

Stan Lee didn't like Ron Pereman. But Ron Perreman is still the majority shareholder, and Stan Leigh has to tell him: "$30 million to buy Marvel and take all of Marvel's debts at the same time!"

"Only $30 million?" said Ron Perreman, frowning, disgruntled.

Stan Lee said coldly, "Thanks to you, Pereman, we have a debt of over $200 million!"

Ron Pereman smiled awkwardly when he heard this, "I'm also for the good of the company, who knows." How did it end up like this......"

Stan Lee snorted coldly, not looking away, not bothering to pay attention to him.

Ron Pereman continued the conversation and said, "I think we should ask for a little more money, and as you all know, Galaxy Pictures has made a lot of money over the years. Let's just say that during this time, in just one month, the box office of "Titanic" has exceeded $1 billion......"

"Pereman. I have to warn you. Have you ever thought about Galaxy Pictures refusing to buy Marvel and then waiting for it to file for bankruptcy protection. And then buy it from the court at auction? hehe, you won't get a penny when the time comes!" said a man in his sixties who was sitting next to Stan Lee.

His name is Jack Bryant, and he and Stan Lee support the entire Marvel company. The collaboration between Jack Kirby and Stan Lee gave birth to the "Marvel-style screenwriting method" - Stan Lee proposed the general idea and character positioning, and then Jack Kirby drew the comics. Stan Lee was responsible for filling out the dialogue, and the two worked together to create more than 80% of the Marvel classics!!

Jack Kobe and Stan Lee are Marvel's Tarzan Beidou, and Ron Pereman is actually very unhappy with Stan Lee and Jack Kobe because they always stop their actions. But because they have a high status in Marvel. If you get rid of anyone, Marvel's stock price will surely plummet wildly, so Ron Perreman can only endure it.

"Anyway, a little more!" Ron Perreman insisted, "I'm also looking out for everyone's benefit, don't you want to make a little more money?"

"Stan Lee, Ron Perreman has a point!"

"That's right, I also think what Ron Perreman said makes sense, the more expensive it is, the more we will make it!"

Stan Lee and Jack Bryant looked at each other, and a flash of frustration flickered between them. The combined shares of the two of them are less than 10%, and the right to speak is far from enough. Before the meeting, they had already discussed that Galaxy Pictures was powerful, and if they acquired Marvel, then Marvel would be able to come back to life and go to glory!

The two of them know the current situation of Marvel best, and it can be said that it is full of holes, and the building will collapse. Faced with a huge debt of $200 million, Marvel has only one way to file for bankruptcy protection. Galaxy Pictures was able to pay $30 million to buy Marvel, which is obviously extremely generous. If the price is raised, I don't know if Galaxy Pictures is willing to buy Marvel......

"Pereman, then it's up to you to negotiate with Galaxy Films, if ......" Stan Lieby paused, "if your negotiation fails, then Marvel will have to file for bankruptcy protection, so you must be careful!"

"Don't worry, with me, there will be no problem!" said Ron Pereman.

……

The next day, representatives of Galaxy Pictures came to Marvel.

Conference room.

"Hello, Mr. Ron Pereman, I'm Rock Senior, Vice President of Galaxy Pictures!"

"Hello, Locke Senior, it's a pleasure to meet you. ”

Ron Perreman said, "You quoted us a purchase price of $30 million yesterday, but, Mr. Rock Senior, don't you think it's too low? Marvel is the oldest and largest comic book company in the United States!!

"Excuse me, then, Mr. Ron Pereman, how much do you think we should pay for Galaxy Pictures?" asked Rock Senior.

Ron Perreman smiled, held up a finger, and said, "A hundred million dollars!"

Locke Senior's brows furrowed when he heard this, "Mr. Pereman, you are really a lion, our Galaxy Film Company has to bear a debt of 200 million US dollars, and another 100 million US dollars, do you think this is appropriate?"

"Of course it's appropriate," Pereman laughed, "If Galaxy Pictures buys Marvel, it can get thousands of Marvel heroes under Marvel." You can make Marvel movies, and I'm sure you'll be able to earn it back soon. Oh, that's a mutual benefit, you say, Mr. Rock Senior?"

"Mr. Pereman, you think it's easy to make money making movies, don't you? Don't you know how many movies go out every year? Let's talk about Marvel's hero movies, which movie have you seen so far? Besides, the current comic book hero movies are not in a recession at all, and even Time Warner's Batman movies are losing money. Therefore, we at Galaxy Pictures took a big risk to buy Marvel!"

"Mr. Senior, you are a galaxy film company, you are strong, when have you ever made a movie that is losing money? Besides, 100 million dollars is nothing for you, "Titanic" alone has made your company earn hundreds of millions of dollars, if it is a peripheral product, it is no problem to make a billion dollars!"

When Rock Seniors heard this, he couldn't help but sneer in his heart, daring to love Ron Perreman for treating Galaxy Pictures as a stupid and rich Kaizi......

"Mr. Pereman, it seems that we are not in agreement for the time being. In that case, we'll talk next time!" said Locke Senior, getting up and walking outside.

"Hey, Senior, how about $80 million!" shouted Ron Pereman.

As if he hadn't heard, Locke Senior's footsteps didn't stop, and he walked out of the conference room in a few moments.

Soon, news of the failure of the first round of negotiations spread.

Originally, I heard that Galaxy Pictures was going to buy Marvel, and the stock price suddenly skyrocketed, but as soon as the news of the failure of the negotiations came out, the stock price immediately fell again.

Rock Senior stayed in a hotel in New York with the negotiation team, traveled around every day, anyway, he didn't negotiate with Marvel, and from time to time he contacted several small and medium-sized comic book companies, talked and laughed, and was photographed by reporters.

At this time, some gossip came out of nowhere, "Galaxy Pictures does not plan to buy Marvel now, but waits for it to go bankrupt and then buy it!"

The news then appeared in major media and newspapers, and Marvel's stock price fell again and again.

Ron Perreman contacted Rock Senior several times, but he refused to do so on various grounds.

On September 20th, Ron Perreman was in a hurry when a phone call came, "Mr. Ron Pereman, we have booked a plane to fly back to Hollywood at 9 o'clock tomorrow morning." So, we only have one negotiation this afternoon. ”

"You're leaving tomorrow?!!" Ron Pereman was stunned.

"Yes, Mr. Pereman. "Hopefully we'll be able to get something out of our negotiations!"

With that, Rock Senior hung up.

Ron Perreman irritated himself and took out a cigar, lit it, and smoked it.

……

"Ron Pereman, it's already 4 o'clock in the afternoon, why haven't they come yet?"

"yes, if you don't come again, I'm afraid you won't come!"

Ron Pereman said unhappily, "They said they would come in the afternoon, how do I know why it's not yet?"

As soon as the words fell, a female secretary walked in and said loudly, "Mr. Ron Pereman, Mr. Rock Senior, they are here, and Peggy is leading them upstairs in the elevator!"

"Good, we got it!!" Ron Perreman exclaimed.

"It's past 4:10, Ron Pereman, you have to pay attention later, this negotiation must be negotiated, otherwise, our Marvel will go bankrupt!" Stan Lee solemnly reminded.
