Chapter 89: Disney's Invitation
And with the expansion of the trailer's influence, the stock price doubled, which is very possible!
I really don't know how Pereman, the former chairman who sold the stock prematurely, will feel when he sees the current Marvel stock price. I'm afraid that with his villain mentality, he was dizzy in the toilet two or three days ago......
"Very good, how are those Marvel merchandise products that have cooperated with Amazon sell online?" asked Ma Wei lightly to Jack. Marvel peripherals are the second card he played.
For example, Iron Man T-shirts, Black Widow pillows, Spider-Man sweatshirts, Thor's electric hammers, Captain America shields, etc., are all sold on Amazon. The profits brought by these peripheral derivatives are long-lasting!
After all, the box office return of investing in movies is only a phase. After the release, it can only sell licenses. And peripheral products, that's amazing. Not only can it be sold in the United States, but also in the world, it can sell well.
"That's right, Chairman Ma Wei, the online sales of peripheral products, Amazon feedback the number of sales in a week, 29,680 pieces. The total amount is $986,700. Including the new issue of the comics, the sales volume has also increased significantly......"
Because of the popularity of the trailer, it drove the sales of Marvel derivatives and comics, which made Marvel's stock price rise all the way.
Ma Wei listened to the figures reported by the director Jack, and was quite satisfied with the sales during the week. When filming the trailer of "The Avengers", he Marvel Studios signed Downey, Hemsworth and others as its artists by the way.
For these peripheral products sold online, the company will distribute dividends to artists according to the agreed proportion (their faces are printed on T-shirts, which is counted as portrait rights). Anyway, in short, hug Ma Wei's thighs tightly, and you will definitely not be disadvantaged if you make money.
"By the way, Chairman Ma Wei, we just received news this morning! Disney said that they want to cooperate with us and intend to make our Marvel heroes into movies. For example, Iron Man, Hulk, and Spider-Man and so on. In terms of funding, they said it wasn't a problem...... "Director Jack, this week is a good sense of accomplishment.
First, the trailer was a big hit, then the stock price rose, and the peripheral products sold well. Until now, even Disney, a Fortune 500 company, has extended an olive branch to Marvel. This work is called that cool! The ones before the co-authorship are all wasted time.
"Disney?, it seems that the time is still coming...... "Ma Wei subconsciously thought to himself.
According to the memories of his previous life, Disney spent $4.2 billion to acquire Marvel in 2009. Thus gaining ownership of its more than 5000 comic book characters. For example, Dabai in "Super Marines" is the crystallized product of Disney Marvel.
The reason for the acquisition was then, not earlier. That's because in 08, Marvel woke up, mortgaged many comic book characters, and raised funds to shoot "Iron Man 1", which was a box office hit. This made Disney see his value, and then directly threw money and bought Marvel without talking nonsense.
Facing the industry tycoons who are hundreds of times richer than themselves, as a budding Ma Wei, he really feels that life is not easy...... In an Internet phrase, it is, "Life, finally started on my little kitten." ”
"Disney, don't be in a hurry to reply yet. I think about it. Although Ma Wei is a local tyrant, the company he invested in has not yet fully developed. So I don't want to talk about cooperation with a bigwig-level company like Disney.
Otherwise, in the end of cooperation, the money will definitely be earned by the other party, and only a small head will be left for yourself. After all, the status of the two sides is not equal, and the negotiation has little say.
"Okay, Chairman. "For Ma Wei's decision, the company unanimously obeyed the order. This is a recognition of Mavi's ability.
At the same time, those Marvel executives who resigned early, as well as Pereman, who sold shares, were all shut up at home, watching Marvel exert its strength in the Internet and film and television circles. Bitterness in the heart, this is inevitable. Remorse will certainly be there, too. It's just that the things that are done, the water that is spilled out, is difficult to collect.
Ma Wei has not responded to Disney's request for cooperation. Disney, on the other hand, sent him an invitation letter, "Dear Mr. Marvey, I am honored to invite you to participate in the anniversary ......celebration held by the Disney Company on July 23, 2000."
Ma Wei looked at the email he received in his mailbox, inviting him to the "Orlando Disney 30th Anniversary Party."
This means, although it is not a "Hongmen feast", but it is almost the same. The other party is going to meet with Ma Wei, and then use money to hit him......
"Is this going or not going?" Ma Wei was a little confused. If you don't go, it's rude and it feels like no one is in sight. If you go, the other party's drunkard doesn't mean to drink, and he must talk to him about cooperation.
"On the 22nd and 23rd of this month, are you free? I'm going to Florida for a party. Mavi sent Jennifer a text message inviting her to Disney with her.
"Florida? I should be free, I'll check out the itinerary. As soon as Jennifer replied to the text message, she immediately called her dad, "Hey, Dad, I can't go to Orlando with you on the 23rd, I have something else." ”
"Uh-huh, that's it!" Jennifer finished the call and immediately sent a text message to Mavi, "22nd and 23rd, no problem, see you then." ”
Jennifer had promised her dad to go to the 30th anniversary of Disney Orlando together. But because of Ma Wei's text message, he immediately abandoned his father and turned to Ma Wei's arms. This is really a big girl, and her daughters are raised in vain......
"Okay, then I'll pick you up. Mavi didn't know about this, and Jennifer herself didn't expect it to be so coincidental.
Jennifer didn't dare to tell her father about Ma Wei's existence. First, Mavi is Russian, and his family is still in the arms business. Second, her father is the chairman of Marriott Group and is worth more than $1 billion. There is hope that Jennifer will find a rich second generation who is also a famous family, similar to a marriage between consortia.
But I will also respect Jennifer's wishes, as long as my daughter doesn't have that kind of messy boyfriend.
"Mmmmmmmm When she was with Mavey, Jennifer didn't have any worries. Including the text message chat on the mobile phone, every time she receives a text message from Ma Wei, she will unconsciously raise a smile.
On July 22, at 10 a.m., Ma Wei was at the Washington airport and met Jennifer, a beautiful woman dressed up in elaborate costumes. Today's goddess is dressed in a cute route. Pink hot pants and a white T-shirt outline her delicate figure just right.
