Ekpilmut has been very unhappy for a while, yes, all kinds of unpleasantness.

If it weren't for the fact that he and two other shareholders completed the counterattack acquisition of Marvel, which filed for bankruptcy, Marvel now doesn't know what it will look like.

In ten years, careful and cautious management, little by little, the various IP copyrights that were sold cheaply at the beginning, and when they filed for bankruptcy, the superheroes who were sold by the bankruptcy committee at the price of cabbage returned to the arms of Marvel again.

Unexpectedly, now that Marvel has finally come to his senses, Stan Lee's old guy has betrayed the board of directors and turned his head to support Kevin Page and work against the group company.

Not to mention how aggrieved Ike is now, he also knows that if he wants Marvel Entertainment Group to continue to develop well, he can't do without Stan Lee, who has most of his body in the coffin.

If you want to say what he wants to do the most now, that is, to fire Kevin Page, a self-righteous guy, the problem is that he is very entangled, and Kevin Page, who is supported by Stan Lee and the editor-in-chief of Marvel Comics, is not so easy to fire, especially after Kevin Page completes the recovery of Iron Man's IP rights and the IP copyrights of core members of the Avengers such as Hulk, Thor, and Black Widow, it is even more difficult.

When the internal infighting within Marvel was in full swing, a news from Wall Street made Marvel Entertainment Group strangely calm down, some people questioned, some people were tempted, and more people were worried.

In the next few days, this news was constantly mentioned by people with good intentions, and later it was reported by the media, and there was an uproar.

Whether it is the media industry or the comic book industry, fans of superheroes have begun to argue on the Internet.

Andy Smith, the new myth of wealth, the upstart of the publishing industry wants to buy Marvel Entertainment Group, and Bank of America will support him throughout the process to complete this acquisition.

The powerful combination of the two giants has made everyone see that things are feasible.

Don't say anything about loving this industry and loving the career of comics, in front of the American knife, any insistence will seem pale and powerless.

The directors of the Marvel Entertainment Group are also tired of the long quarrels that every meeting has, tired of the half-dead struggle of Marvel for a long time that has not been able to bring them huge profits, and someone wants to take over, which is undoubtedly in the middle of the hand, one by one, in private with each other, hoping to stand in the same camp and bite off a piece of meat from this young rich man who has just received a huge amount of cash.

Just when these shareholders were dreaming and the old Marvel people represented by Stan Lee were worried, the news continued to be hyped, but there was no follow-up, the news was still that news, but whether it was Andy Smith and Bank of America seemed to care at all, no one contacted Marvel, let alone any huge acquisitions.

In this way, day by day, some shareholders who want to get rid of their burdens and make a fortune can't sit still, if it weren't for Ike, the largest individual shareholder, who pressed everyone, someone would have come to the door by themselves.

For Andy, it is because there is no bridge to communicate with, and he will definitely not escape the fate of being slaughtered if he takes the initiative to send it to the door, so he will not be the one who is wronged, the world economy is about to end, and now it is absolutely stupid to spend a huge amount of money to buy Marvel.

And those shareholders who want to sell Marvel shares do not have a channel to communicate with Andy, which is undoubtedly the main reason why the acquisition has remained in the rumor stage.

Now it's okay, Ambassador Merkel's enthusiasm to build, now there is a bridge, but as the CEO and largest individual shareholder of the Marvel Group, he has become hesitant and entangled, he really wants Marvel to grow in his own hands, and he still has a lot of feelings for Marvel, but he is still a businessman first, and no one can be indifferent in the face of the huge amount of cash that can be obtained.

Under Merkel's introduction, Andy's expression was slightly shocked, and he shook Ike's hand very unexpectedly and said, "Mr. Pilmut, this is really surprising, I didn't expect to see you here." ”

"Hehe, Mr. Smith doesn't know, I'm also Jewish. Ekpilmut had a smile on his face, but his heart was difficult to calm down, he was so young, so he had to achieve so much at such a young age, and he had to be shocked and admired.

Merkel wasted no time in laughing: "Recently, many newspapers have linked the two of you together, Andy, is that news true? Now there are many people out there speculating how much money you are going to spend to buy Marvel." ”

Standing side by side with Andy, Gal Gadot, who was a little restrained and smiling, looked up at Andy with an indifferent smile with a slightly stunned face, as a Se people, American culture is naturally no stranger, superheroes are an important part of American ideological output, who wouldn't know Spider-Man, Iron Man, Black Widow, Captain America.

Andy looked at Gal Gadot with a bright smile, a side face and a stunned expression, then looked at Mekel and chuckled indifferently: "I used to have this idea, but it's a pity... ”

As he spoke, he looked at Ekpilmut and spread his hands, making a helpless expression, as if there was something unspeakable, and there was no more to say halfway through.

Ekpilmut was still a little entangled in whether to sell it before, to be honest, he was still tempted, who doesn't like American knives, especially for the rich who invest most of his money in the capital market, the current economic situation is a bit weird.

People are like this, when they have their own things, when others say they want to buy, it is very difficult to give up, but they are entangled in economic interests, when others do not buy them, they are even more depressed, as if their things have become worthless, and regret why not sell them at the beginning.

"Hehe, what's a pity? I think the value of Marvel Entertainment Group is undoubted, are you worried about the price?" Merkel saw Ike's embarrassment and depression, and he also very much hoped to serve as a bridge to facilitate, after all, it would establish a friendship between him and the two, and it would also leave a good reputation and a good impression in high society.

"Hehe, in fact, there is nothing, the main thing is that my think tank has evaluated Marvel, and I can't have a sense of identity with Marvel's corporate culture, my xing character is too strong, and I have a plan for the strategic layout of each of my own companies, and my subordinates need to implement it step by step according to the strategic layout, I hate unconventional subordinates, I am not good at business management, but I am willing to delegate power, trust my professional managers, and I agree that professional things are handled by professional people.

However, the internal complexity of Marvel Entertainment makes it difficult to form an effective management system, especially after I learned about the situation at Marvel Studios... Huh"

After Andy shrugged his shoulders and spread his hands, he began to talk eloquently, he didn't care about saying some of his shortcomings, to put it bluntly, these words were all for Ike, and sure enough, when he mentioned Marvel Studios, Ikepilmut's face became extremely embarrassed and ugly, especially when he saw a sneering smile and disappointed look on the corner of Andy's mouth, he wanted to insert two sharp knives into his heart to make him uncomfortable and resentful.

The atmosphere immediately became cold, Andy held the empty wine glass in his hand and looked at the sinking Ike opposite him and drank the red wine in the glass in one gulp, but he looked at it meaningfully, and did not improve the atmosphere.

Merkel saw that the two needed some private space to talk, so he smiled and said to Gal Gadot: "Miss Gadot, it's almost time for the interview and photoshoot, let's go over." Sorry for the loss. ”

Gal Gadot is also a smart girl, and she smiled at Andy, then took Merkel's arm and left, leaving only Andy and Ike depressed looking at Gadot's back in the corner.

"It seems that Mr. Smith knows very well about the inside of our company, and I am more convinced that the acquisition rumors are true, I wonder what Mr. Smith is going to offer?" As a smart Jewish businessman, Ike would not believe that Andy Smith would mock Marvel for no reason.

Andy was slightly surprised, the other party's opening to the point was beyond his expectations, but he would not admit to the acquisition, let alone naively think that he could make a business with a price now, billions of acquisitions, where it can be decided in a few words, it is not the time!

Andy shook his head and smiled, shrugged his shoulders and said: "I think Mr. Pilmut you may be disappointed, I can't accept a group that can't even control its subsidiaries, if it's my company, no matter how capable a professional manager dares to act beyond the bottom line of his career, I will fire him regardless of the consequences, because I can't accept careerists and betrayers without self-knowledge!"

The expression on Ekpilmut's face changed wildly, and it was obvious that there was infinite anger in his eyes and trembling lips.

Andy didn't care about the other party's anger, but Ike was an old fox after all, and he quickly completed his anger, calmed down, became calm, and said meaningfully: "I'm even more sure that your ambition for the Marvel Group will be successful!"

It's impossible for Ike not to be angry at the ridicule of the young man in front of him, but what the other party said is also true.

Although he did not know the proverb of the East, praise and criticism are buyers, and applause is idlers. This sentence, but the business acumen and business experience of Jews are the first in the world, and it is not difficult to see that Andy has a willingness to acquire Marvel.

Stan Lee, who doesn't work at Marvel and doesn't know that the forces in it are staggered and complex, and who has created almost most of the superheroes, is completely an old bastard who relies on the old and sells the old, but the people on the board of directors don't dare to offend him.

After all, Dark Horse Comics was formed by a group of cartoonists who left Marvel Comics, which really annoyed the old guy, and he led people to take superheroes to start again, so he really cried, even if he couldn't take away the IP copyright, every time he wanted to use the superhero copyright, the trouble of finding the company was enough for the company to be uncomfortable.
