After hanging up the phone with Barry, Li Feng finished eating the delicious French breakfast, and then contacted the crew and asked them to fly back to Los Angeles directly, and after Barry officially reached an agreement with Marvel, he would directly pick everyone up in Paris.

After all, if they take the plane by themselves, but it will take more than 10 or 20 hours, Li Feng will go directly to pick them up, anyway, now that the plane is parked, it will fly again.

However, it was said that when Li Feng was arranging for the crew to fly back to Los Angeles, it was already the second day in Los Angeles, and in the Marvel conference room, Tianyu Media Company, represented by Barry Diller, officially signed a contract with Ron Pereman, the current owner of Marvel.

Naturally, in fact, Ron Pereman's shares in Marvel are not as much as no one imagined, and they are not really a controlling stake, after all, Ron is a Wall Street financial tycoon, and he invested in Marvel because he thought that Marvel would be able to make money, and the listing of Marvel was all from his hand.

Similarly, if his shares can reach control, as long as he insists on not selling, there is nothing else to do, in fact, this is one of Ron's big failures.

Although he made a lot of money through Marvel's listing, the controlling stake in Marvel is gone, otherwise there would be no previous Marvel rights dispute.

……

In Li Feng's view, this is also a common problem of European and American enterprises, as long as it is a listed company, those major shareholders are basically unlikely to have a controlling shareholder, unlike Asia, which is greatly influenced by Chinese culture, and most of the enterprises in those traditional industries are privately or family holdings.

Whether it is the world-renowned Hong Kong consortium, those enterprises in South Korea and Japan, or those various capital consortiums in Southeast Asia, Chinese consortiums, etc., or even later Wanda, Evergrande, etc., and the rest of the many domestic private enterprises and industry leaders, except for Internet companies, the rest are family or individual holdings, and others have no chance to grab the controlling stake.

Of course, except for the later Internet companies, after all, the later Internet opened the door to those venture capital, and there was no venture capital environment in China at that time, which was regarded as a loophole for European and American capital.

To be honest, Li Feng even thought in his heart that if those Internet companies developed a few years late, it is estimated that there would be nothing to do with foreign capital.

In fact, when the founders of domestic Internet companies took over the venture capital, they still firmly controlled the company, although the equity was lost, but the company was still under the control and management of the founder team, which is a blessing in misfortune.

Abroad, it is almost impossible to see how many companies have been kicked out of the country after the founders have been kicked out after various financings.

In fact, on the one hand, there are various policy reasons such as state support, in Li Feng's view, on the other hand, there is still the willingness of the Chinese to control the enterprise in their bones.

Of course, there is no shortage of companies in the world, such as Google, FB, etc., although the equity of the founder team is small, but they have signed a strict board of directors related voting rights agreement, etc., which can ensure that the company is firmly in the hands of the founder team, which is a bit like those Internet companies in China.

……

This time, Ron Perreman may really feel bored, although he controls more than 30% of the shares, he is still the largest shareholder, but in fact, from the management and large and small shareholders to the grassroots employees within Marvel, few people welcome him, so he is also a little disheartened now.

Maybe I thought it would be better to go back to Wall Street to toss, and finally agreed to sell the Marvel shares in my hand, after all, the main business of people is Wall Street financial predators.

With the signing of Barry Diller and Ron Pereman, it also marks the beginning of a new round of expansion of Li Feng's entertainment group.

There is no need for Li Feng to come forward for this acquisition, after all, although Marvel is very famous, it is really worthless now, and Tianyu Media has enough capital and qualifications to acquire, so there is no need for Li Feng to come forward.

When Barry and Li Feng spoke on the phone again, it also meant that Li Feng's entertainment territory was further improved. To be honest, few people in Marvel are willing to take over now, mainly because they have too much debt.

In addition to the previous competition between the two Wall Street predators, there is also a group of management, but the management mainly has no money and can only do it in a hurry for the time being.

……

Naturally, with the end of Marvel, MGM started again, and after Barry and his entourage completed the Marvel acquisition, they explained the situation to Marvel management, and then went straight to the airport and got on Li Feng's private jet.

Similarly, it also left the excitement of the Marvel management, no way, the news I heard was really a little exciting, I didn't expect that Tianyu Media had just taken over Marvel, and the next thing to do was to take over MGM, which was the former king of Hollywood - MGM, although MGM is now in decline.

For Marvel's management, hearing that Barry is about to go to Paris to negotiate the acquisition of MGM obviously proves that Tianyu Media is strong, and it also makes Marvel management full of expectations for the future.

Many management personnel are even looking forward to the fact that Marvel will never encounter bankruptcy crises in the future, and now there is a rich man, and Marvel's next good days are finally here.

Now that Marvel's acquisition has been kept secret for the time being, Li Feng's preparation is to complete the acquisition of MGM and Marvel, and then hold a shocking press conference together.

"Barry, welcome to Paris, you've been working hard lately. ”

Early the next morning, Li Feng finally saw the arrival of Barry and his party at the hotel, but Li Feng did not go to the airport to greet him in person, but directly asked the hotel to arrange someone to greet him.

"Boss, it's a pleasure to meet you in Paris. ”

Barry Diller then greeted him with a smile. Barry arrived with a team of 10 people this time, after all, although it was almost the same, it was not enough for Barry to be taken seriously.

……

Next, back in the suite, Barry explained the specific situation to Li Feng, and naturally, Barry and his party also had to face the problem of jet lag, after all, the 9-hour time difference caused the day and night to be reversed.

The Marvel acquisition is over, and Marvel management has put forward a request to wait for Li Feng to meet after he returns, perhaps Li Feng may need a guarantee, and even Stan Lee, the soul of the Marvel hero, who Li Feng has been thinking about, has also made a request to meet.

In general, among Marvel's current shareholders, in addition to Li Feng and a group of management, there is also a former toy partner manufacturer, naturally, Barry felt that Marvel also needed a company, and carried out direct mergers and acquisitions, which can be regarded as Marvel's direct acquisition of the toy factory.

This was unexpected by Li Feng, but it was Barry's later idea, and the money was not much, just a few million, and Barry made a decision directly.

Next, Li Feng also explained the situation of MGM now, and the two sides exchanged information about MGM, after all, MGM in Hollywood, Barry also heard a lot of news, coupled with the situation here, for the next negotiations, Barry directly expressed confidence in Li Feng.

……

"Okay, Barry, that's all for today, today you will have jet lag, and tomorrow you will work with Old Cork's team, and I will leave the rest of the negotiations to you, and I will wait for your good news. After chatting for a while, Li Feng said with a smile to Barry Diller.

"BOSS, don't worry, there's nothing going on anyway, I'll tell you about the recent company situation. ”

"Barry, no, you can rest well today, so let's get jet lag today, you can let your men walk around Paris and see the beauty of Paris.

You can tell them that I won't bother them today, and when the MGM negotiations are completed, each person will have a two-day holiday and enjoy shopping in Paris, and I will personally provide 10,000 dollars for each person to spend and let them have fun. ”

"Then I'll thank you on behalf of them first, boss, okay, I'll go first. ”

After listening to Li Feng's persuasion, Barry Diller finally left Li Feng's suite, and naturally everyone lived in the George V Hotel.
