Perelman, the profiteer, soon came to the door. Vertices

This person Li Qingyuan can't say that he likes or dislikes it, but at least he must admit that if there is no such ambitious person tossing, he may not have a chance to buy "Marvel".

Li Qingyuan doesn't like this diversified investor, but he has to admit that the top 100 people on the Forbes list of the world's richest people are indeed very versatile, although he has planted a heel in "Marvel", but this is only one of his many investment projects, and it can't hurt his bones.

In the United States, Li Qingyuan is just an unknown kid, and Perelman's ability to come to the door in person can be regarded as giving him a big face, of course, he will not know how to be a man, and he welcomes people in very enthusiastically.

Unless the two parties are good friends or have a close relationship, such a direct approach to the door rarely occurs in the United States, and if Perelman only wants to sell his shares, there is no need to surrender his status to rush to the door, it seems that he must have other plans.

waved away the maid who gave snacks and coffee, Li Qingyuan laughed and said: "It is really gratifying that Mr. Perelman came to the door in person, I have been to and from the United States so many times, and it is the first time that I am fortunate to be able to meet the big names on the Forbes list!"

"Before visiting Mr. Li, I deliberately checked the Hurun Rich List, and I found that there was no Mr. Li's name on it, which is really surprising!" Perelman stared intently at the changes in Li Qingyuan's face, hoping to find something out of it.

"There are too many people in the world who choose to hide their wealth, and there are many people who are not on the rich list, and this kind of small thing is not worthy of Mr. Perelman's surprise. Li Qingyuan bared a mouthful of white teeth, and said calmly with a smile.

Perelman couldn't see anything on his face, but he didn't give up, and opened the topic: "I don't know what hobbies Mr. Li usually has, you see that I like to drink red wine and smoke cigars, and I also bought a winery in France." ”

"Perelman is a gentleman, a rough man like me can't taste good or bad wine, my biggest hobby is sports, basketball is my favorite. Li Qingyuan got up from the sofa and took two cigars from Morgan's desk, and if the guests liked cigars, he could only borrow flowers to offer the Buddha.

Picking up the cigar and cutting off the cigarette butt, he lit a match for Perelman and said, "Morgan likes Cuban cigars, but I can't taste them, Mr. Perelman tastes them if they are genuine." ”

Perelman brought the cigar to his lips and tasted it, and then slowly exhaled the cigarette, and the smoke gradually formed into a variety of cigarettes, "The five-year-old Cohiba Century 2 is good. ”

"Mr. Perelman is a connoisseur and knows the vintage of a cigar after a short tasting. ”

"Interest is the best teacher, as long as Mr. Li is as interested in cigars as I am, he will naturally study all kinds of cigars. ”

"Unfortunately, I don't have much interest in cigars. Li Qingyuan took a big puff of his cigar, just like smoking.

"Mr. Li is not interested in cigars, but he is very interested in 'Marvel Comics'!" Perelman brought the topic to the comic company.

"Isn't Perelman also interested in 'Marvel Comics'?"

"Hahaha, I can't hide anything from Mr. Li, are you interested in cooperating with me?"

"It's an honor to have plans to work with Mr. Perelman, but you and I have different business purposes, how does Mr. Perelman want to resolve our differences?"

"Do you really want to bring 'Marvel Comics' back to the top? Don't forget Mr. Li, you are a Chinese, and no matter how well 'Marvel Comics' develops, it is an American enterprise, and it will always mean that the United States cannot become a Chinese enterprise. ”

"This is the difference between you and me, Mr. Perelman, whether it is an American company or a Chinese company, it is my business under my name, as long as it is my business, I will try my best to run it well, instead of liposuction and blood-sucking it into the bottomless abyss. ”

"It seems that Mr. Li is very ambitious, and even a terminally ill company like 'Marvel Comics' wants to save him, don't you think this is too much price?"

"Who made me love 'Marvel Comics'? Li Qingyuan shrugged his shoulders and replied, "Does Mr. Perelman have any different opinions?"

"Actually, I also want 'Marvel Comics' to be reinvigorated so that it can sell for a good price, right?"

Li Qingyuan's face flashed quietly, this one was wishful thinking, and said: "It's very simple to cheer it up, Mr. Perelman invests another amount of money, and it will take three or five years to develop 'Marvel Studios', and then even the profits will be earned." ”

"Mr. Li takes it for granted, even if 'Marvel Studios' can make a blockbuster movie, the return it can get is still minimal, and most of the profits still go to those film and television distribution companies, you are just making a wedding dress for others. ”

Although Perelman, the investment tycoon, is not liked, it is undeniable that his vision is really sharp, and he knows everything clearly, but what Li Qingyuan doesn't know is that Perelman has actually suffered a big loss here.

"In that case, why is Mr. Perelman still interested in working with me?

"As long as Mr. Li puts up 'Marvel Comics' for Isaac Perlmatt and Avi Arad, I'll sell you the shares!" Perelman said with his fangs bared.

"That's not a condition at all, Mr. Perelman, when I buy their shares, they'll get out. ”

"Then I'll wait for the day you kick them out of 'Surprise'. Perelman snuffed out the cigar he had taken a few puffs in the ashtray, and it was clear that he didn't like them.

"Mr. Perelman, don't hurry away, let's talk about the ugly things first. I know that in Marvel Comics, the two of them didn't deal with you, they were the ones who jointly pushed you out of the board of directors, and now if I kick them out, you won't admit it when you turn around, it's not good, should we sign an acquisition agreement?

"Is Mr. Li afraid that I will regret it?" Perelman said, turning to stare at him.

Li Qingyuan looked at him without showing weakness and said: "The United States is a country with a legal system, and everything is evidence-based!"

"Since Mr. Li wants to sign the agreement, then let's talk about the purchase price, what does Mr. Li think?"

"If Mr. Perelman is willing, 120 million dollars, how about I accept the debt of 'Marvel Comics'!"

Perelman sat back on the sofa, Li Qingyuan's offer was quite sincere, and he did not remove the 10% of the stock value that was suppressed.

"170 million, you have the debt!"

"140 million, plus the debt is not much, I have to pay 200 million dollars in real money, compared to the money you have earned in 'Surprise' over the years. ”

"One hundred and fifty million, how about you and I take a step back?"

"Deal!" Li Qingyuan, a small sum of 10 million and 20 million, didn't pay attention to it at all, he just wanted to create an atmosphere of argument and argument, so that Perelman would sell the shares willingly.

Although the plan failed, but to get rid of the debts on his body and be able to account for 150 million Perelman is not dissatisfied, from 89 years to the present, the investment of that year has increased almost tenfold, if ordinary people would have been happy.

In front of Perelman, Li Qingyuan dialed the phone and explained the matter of the acquisition agreement to Morgan, saving him from regretting.

Enthusiastically sending Perelman out of the suite, Li Qingyuan called Arad and told him Perelman's conditions.

"Arad, in order to kick out Perelman's nail, I can only agree to his conditions, I hope you can understand my painstaking efforts. ”

"That's fine, Perelman, the villain, is finally gone. For the sake of 'Surprise', I hope you will keep your promises. Aradd's tone was full of reluctance.

"Arad, you don't need to be like this, the re-emergence of 'Marvel' is inseparable from your help, why don't we open a joint venture production company to participate in the 'Marvel' movie!" Li Qingyuan was reluctant to leave this talented person who was later called "Marvel's second savior", so he made a suggestion.

"Great, as long as I can help 'Surprise', I will do it, your proposal makes me very excited, let's sit down and have a good talk when we have time!" Li Qingyuan's suggestion just hit Arad's heart, so he agreed.

"Of course no problem, you can choose the time. ”

Hanging up the call with Arad, Li Qingyuan began to worry about the distribution of future films, without distribution channels, he would be stuck by the eight major Hollywood film companies, and he would never do anything that was controlled by others, the most famous case is "Dream Factory", the film and television company founded by the famous world-class director Spielberg was dragged down by the distribution.

Originally, Li Qingyuan wanted to fight "Disney", but when it came to tens of billions of funds and many shareholders in "Disney", he retreated, joking that this level of acquisition would definitely not take a few years, and besides, "Disney" may not have the will to sell.

Li Qingyuan, who couldn't think of it for a while, could only put his mind on the acquisition of "Marvel", no matter what, take down the main goal first, the ship will naturally go straight to the bridge, and with fragrant buns, I'm afraid that no one will buy it, and at most make some money, his main business is not to make movies.

With Arad taking the lead in the "Marvel" company, several major shareholders sold their shares, and the other small shareholders naturally had no will to resist.

To Li Qingyuan's surprise, he only spent a total of $700 million on the debt of "Marvel" plus the acquisition funds, which is two or three hundred million less than the original estimate, so everyone is happy.
