Chapter 81: Surprise

Needless to say, the competition between the two sides will make the hero copyright more sought-after, and the price will naturally rise. It's a bit like an auction.

Pereman, president of Marvel, is a standard capitalist. He once used the form of Marvel hero cards to randomly put cards in each comic book to attract fans to collect and buy (just like a little raccoon noodles). The key is that he also sells comic books at a high price, which is simply a complete profiteer.

Ma Wei knows what kind of person the Marvel boss is based on the memories of his previous life. So he came to negotiate investment this time and made some preparations in advance...... These preparations took him about three weeks of precious time.

When Ma Wei took the elevator, he came to the 17th floor of the building. Taro Ueno, who arrived later, and his female assistant, also coincidentally, came out of another elevator.

At this time, Taro Ueno glanced at Ma Wei with some surprise. I thought that among the Marvel shareholders I investigated before, there didn't seem to be a person like the young man in front of me...... Could it be that he is also here to buy film and television copyrights?

Thinking of this, Taro Ueno has a hunch that this negotiation will not be easy. After all, he had just witnessed Ma Wei's luxury car, as well as bodyguards. This value is at least hundreds of millions of dollars. Millions are enough for them to spend with a sneeze.

Ma Wei didn't pay attention to Taro Ueno's gaze. Because at this time, he saw that at the front desk of Marvel, there was a middle-aged white man with thinning hair, leading a group of company executives, looking at him with a smile on his face, "Hello! It must be Mr. Taro Ueno from Sony, and Mr. Mavi from Russia, right?

The middle-aged man standing at the front desk is Pereman, chairman of Marvel. He wears a voluminous black suit with a delicate blue tie, and a gold Rolex watch that is deliberately half exposed on his wrist, so obvious that it can be seen at a glance.

Mavi doesn't have a good impression of Pereman, including the scheming he plays, which can be distinguished at a glance. It's nothing more than wanting to sell for more money.

The three of them exchanged pleasantries at the front desk for a while, and then Pereman led Ma Wei and Taro Ueno to the company conference room. Preparing to negotiate the transfer of film and television rights for comic book heroes such as "Spider-Man" and "X-Men".

From the perspective of Pereman and Marvel's top management, they have no choice but to sell the copyright. Who told the company to only distribute comics, they don't know anything about film production, and the key is that they don't even have enough money to maintain their operations. That's why I sold the comic book characters and demolished the east wall to make up the west wall.

"Mr. Taro Ueno, Mr. Ma Wei, first of all, I want to apologize to the two of you! Due to the negligence of the company assistant, the negotiation time of the two has overlapped, which is really embarrassing!" Pereman apologized in the conference room hypocritically, trying to clear up some relationships.

"It's okay, Mr. Pereman, we at Sony don't mind that. Taro Ueno was the first to accept generously. There is also the benefit of talking together, which is to be able to understand the bidder's bids. When the time comes, feedback will be given to the headquarters and corresponding countermeasures will be made in a timely manner.

Ma Wei, who was sitting on the other side, shrugged his shoulders casually. For these intrigues in the capital market, he really doesn't like to participate. Because I'm so tired.

Seeing that both sides had no objection to this, Chairman Pereman smiled heartily, and then began to get into today's topic.

"I think the two of you also know that we Marvel Comics have many fans around the world. Almost all Marvel heroes are widely loved by fans...... "Pereman brainwashed Ma Wei and Taro Ueno to introduce the historical development of Marvel and the creation of heroes.

This introduction lasted about twenty minutes, and Ma Wei was about to fall asleep after listening to it. However, when he turned his eyes, he found that the little book on the other side actually listened to it with relish. And nodded vigorously there.

After another five minutes, Pereman finally changed his tone and asked the most critical question, "I won't talk about more introductions, I want to take the liberty of asking the two of you, how many dollars will you pay for my Marvel Spider-Man and X-Men series? You know, with the heroes of these two series, they will definitely be loved by the audience on the screen." ”

Before Ma Wei could answer, he saw Taro Ueno, who was sitting on the other side, and said first, "That's Mr. Pereman, we at Sony Pictures are willing to bid $5.5 million to buy your company's Spider-Man character." As for the X-Men series, we initially estimate it at $12.9 million. ”

Taro Ueno didn't say the price too much, and look at what it means, there is still room for it to rise.

After listening to his offer, Pereman, who was sitting in the conference room, and the surrounding Marvel executives, were quite satisfied with Sony's offer. $18.4 million should give Marvel some respite.

Sony came up and offered such a sincere price, which made President Pereman and all Marvel high-ranking officials pay attention to Ma Wei at the conference table at this time. I want to hear how much money he will pay on his side.

When Ma Wei saw the scene in front of him, he couldn't help but think of Marvel in the previous life, sold all his sons, and finally wanted to take it back. But the production companies have said, "Why should we pay back the son we bought with our ability." ”

"Mr. Mavi, what's your bid?" asked Chairman Pereman patiently as Mavi didn't answer.

Seeing that everyone in the conference room was looking at him, at this time, Ma Wei said openly and honestly, "To be honest, before I came, I didn't think about Spider-Man, X-Men, how much it was worth, and I didn't think about buying them. ”

As soon as the words fell, the expressions of the entire Marvel executives were suddenly stunned! Then, what followed, they felt that Ma Wei's words were very ridiculous! I didn't think about buying the copyright of the characters, so what did I do here?

Almost everyone had a strange look on their faces. It's just that because of the occasion, I didn't show it too much.

President Pereman really didn't understand Ma Wei, and he didn't know what he meant by saying these words.

"Mr. Mavi, if you came here this time, not to buy film and television rights, that is?" Pereman is not a brain-dead villain in novels or movies, and he will not jump out at every turn to mock, pointing at Mavi's nose and saying unpleasant things.

When Pereman finished asking, he saw Ma Wei, who was sitting at the conference table, said to everyone lightly, "You may not believe it, but in fact...... I'm here to buy Marvel. ”

As soon as the breezy voice fell, only the senior Marvel officials present, Chairman Pereman, and Sony Vice President Taro Ueno and others were seen. I was stunned by Ma Wei's words in an instant! To be precise, I was so frightened that my jaw was almost closed...
