Chapter 335: The belated Marvel acquisition

This small businessman in Su Chenyu's eyes is none other than Ron Pereman, who has been waiting for Su Chenyu, a financial predator, to be "favored". Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Do you still remember Ron Pereman's teasing, yes, this guy is the current big boss of Marvel, a super master who plays with capital.

Since buying Marvel, Ron Perreman has not planned to do a good job at all, after all, the entire comic industry is now in an ice age, and no comic book company has lost money. Whether it's giants like Marvel and his arch-rival DC Comics, or some small comic book companies, all of them are in the red.

So, a Wall Street veteran like Ron Pereman bought Marvel just to make money - that's all, let him run and operate, hehe!

If you look at China's stock market now, you can see that it is a bubble -- beautiful but bursting as soon as you poke it.

From the beginning of preparations in 1990 to the official launch of the IPO in 1991, seeing that it was about to be successfully listed, I didn't expect that at this time, Su Chenyu, the "Cheng Biting Gold", came out - launched an acquisition offer to Marvel.

After all, the US stock market is not like the Chinese stock market in later generations -- it all depends on speculation, and people mainly look at performance. Therefore, since there are real financial giants willing to be a pick-up man at a premium, there is really no reason why Ron Perreman should not get rid of this burden.

Everyone knows that last year, Su Chenyu planned to take advantage of the chaos to eat Marvel when MGM and Disney were fighting, but he didn't expect that the sky would not fulfill people's wishes, and then there was a big flood. Therefore, this matter has been postponed again and again, and Peter Chernin and Shirley Lansing have been following Su Dashao's instructions and constantly hanging Ron Pereman.

Paralyzed, I didn't expect this to be a year, Ron Pereman was going crazy, he really wanted to kick MGM off and get back on the track of his IPO. However, every time Ron Perreman tried to kick MGM, Peter Chernin and Shirley Lansing came to "harass" him and negotiate again.

By now, Ron Pereman couldn't bear it anymore, and he decided this time that even if Peter Chernin and Shirley Lansing knelt down and begged him, he would not sell Marvel to this group of undisciplined people again.

But at this very moment, MGM once again formally issued an offer to negotiate a takeover in the name of the company, and Peter Chernin and Shirley Lansing assured Ron Pereman that this time it was real.

In line with the principle of believing again, Ron Perreman still decided to give MGM another chance, after all, there are not many people who want to take over, and still have the strength to take over Marvel, a big money-losing owner, or even no.

For Marvel, Su Chenyu is inevitable, because this is completely a super gold mine buried in the dirt.

Perhaps, many people now think that Marvel is completely a cheating dad losing money, because the current comic market is super sluggish, and they are losing money in it. As for adapting comic books, hehe, don't talk nonsense, it's even more cheating, it's just the rhythm of making one and losing one - look at what DC and Warner have lost. Now Warner and DC dare to pat Batman and Superman, who have the best mass base, but they don't make any money.

However, although the current superhero comics, whether they are book releases or movie adaptations, they are all scum. However, who would have thought that superhero movies would become popular in the future, and they would be made one by one, and each one could cause a box office explosion.

A "Spider-Man" series almost saved the half-dead Sony Colombian movie, "X-Men" and "Fantastic Four" have become the trump cards in the hands of 20th Century Fox, not to mention that Disney won the box office record of more than 100 million US dollars in superhero movies with "The Avengers" - so Marvel, which is worthless now, is simply a super golden rooster in Su Chenyu's eyes, and is about to give birth to "golden eggs".

At MGM's headquarters, Su Chenyu finally met Ron Pereman, who had been released by him for more than a year. To be honest, Su Chenyu is really a little embarrassed about releasing pigeons, after all, it takes a year to delay.

In order to successfully complete the acquisition, Su Chenyu summoned Peter Chenin, who was temporarily in charge of the overall situation of Sky Broadcasting Company in London, back.

Peter Chernin introduced Su Chenyu to Ron Perreman and said, "Mr. Pereman, this is Mr. Su Chenyu, the partner of MGM's parent company, Tianchen Fund. ”

This time, in order to show his sincerity, Su Chenyu decided to have less routine and more sincerity, and directly faced this Mr. Ron Pereman as a big boss.

"Oh, it's a great honor to meet you, Mr. Su. Ron Pereman said to Su Chenyu very politely: "Tianchen Fund has recently made a big deal to acquire the British Sky Broadcasting Company from News Corporation, which is really admirable. ”

Laughing and waving his hand, Su Chenyu said, "You have won the prize, Mr. Pereman." ”

After a few pleasantries, the conversation quickly turned to the main topic, and Peter Chernin looked at Ron Pereman and said, "Mr. Pereman, let's get down to business!"

"Okay. Ron Perreman nodded, removed the smile from his face, and said, "To be honest, I didn't want to come this time because your company has gone too far. Since the start of the acquisition negotiations last year, a full year has dragged on, and I am very skeptical about your sincerity. ”

Listening to Ron Pereman's complaints, whether it was Su Chenyu, Peter Chenning and Shirley Lansing, they were all embarrassed, and it was indeed their fault that this matter was their fault first. However, the three of them are also veteran drivers, so they naturally know that Ron Pereman mentioned this matter at this time because he just wanted to sit on the ground and raise the price.

However, since you can sit on the ground and start the price, then we can also pay back the money on the ground.

"For this, the fault is mainly with me, and it has nothing to do with Peter and Shirley, or even MGM. Su Chenyu took the initiative to take all the responsibility, and then continued: "Originally, I was going to buy Marvel, but unfortunately, something happened in that family at that time, so I pushed off everything and went back. However, in any case, the fault lies with me, and if any loss or damage has been caused to you, I can compensate accordingly. ”

Damn, when did the financial tycoons become so humble and low-profile? It simply doesn't go well with common sense! Originally, Ron Perreman wanted to use this as a "bargaining chip" to make the other party embarrassed to bargain during negotiations.

It's good now, the other party suddenly put his posture so low, so how can he play?

"Since it's something at home, it's understandable. ”

It's embarrassing, that's Ron Pereman's main thought at this point - it's as disgusting as swallowing a dead fly.

"Well, now that our acquisition negotiations are back on track, let him go through the past. Next, let's talk about this belated Marvel acquisition. ”

Seeing that everyone's atmosphere was a little awkward, Shirley Lansing, a "female man", could be regarded as a woman's skill and forcibly shifted the topic to business.

Taking Shirley Lansing's words, Peter Chernin smiled and said, "Shirley is right, let's get down to business." ”

"One hundred and eighty million, you can bring Marvel back. ”

I have to say, Ron Perreman is really crazy, and he directly opened his mouth with a lion, this is to play Su Chenyu and MGM as the "second generation" who are stupid and have a lot of money?

With a smile, Su Chenyu waved his hand and said, "Mr. Pereman, are you bullying me who don't understand the comic market? To put it mildly, even the highest valuation of the entire Marvel will not exceed this number, not to mention that you only have a controlling stake of 8 into 5." ”

"100 million. ”

Hearing this number, Ron Pereman's head shook frantically like a rattle, eagerly expressing his displeasure and shock.

“no,no,no。 This price is really insulting to Marvel, and it is insulting to me. ”

Looking at the excited Ron Pereman, Peter Chernin felt a little ridiculous in his heart, he knew that this guy was acting, so he said: "Mr. Pereman, we are all in the entertainment media circle to make a living, and we all know each other's roots. Three years ago, you bought these shares of Marvel for only $85 million, so you want to double up and sell them to MGM in such a short period of time?"

"What's more, the comic market is not good now, and comic book adaptations can't be made, look at Warner's comic book movies in the past two years, which one is not losing money? Your asking price is really unreasonable. Shirley Lansing continued to hit Ron Perreman and said: "The price of 100 million is not low, you have made a net profit of 15 million in 3 years, such a high return on investment, you are still not satisfied?"

Actually, Ron Pereman also knows that this price is not low, and he has made a lot of money, but it really does not reach the price he wants - not to mention that the pigeons that have been released for such a long time have to find some benefits to make up for it.

Looking at Ron Pereman, who continued to shake his head and remain silent, Su Chenyu tapped his fingers lightly on the table, and then said, "That's it, Mr. Pereman." After all, because of me, this acquisition also wasted a lot of your time and energy. ”

"120 million, this is the highest price that MGM and I can offer, and if you still don't agree with this price, then I can only regret to announce that the acquisition has failed. ”

Hearing that Su Chenyu seemed to be giving an ultimatum, Ron Perreman knew that he couldn't "act" too much, otherwise he would really smash Marvel, a money-losing product, in his own hands. In fact, in Ron Pereman's heart, he is already very satisfied with the price here, after all, he easily made 35 million in 3 years - where can I find such a good thing?

However, people are naturally greedy, but the difference is that some people can control greed, while others are controlled by greed. Of course, the final result is different, those who can control greed will naturally be able to get more wealth, while those who are controlled by greed can often only get a small profit.

Although Ron Pereman is a small businessman like an ant in Su Chenyu's eyes, from the outside, there is no doubt that he is a quite successful businessman.

So, naturally, the result is ......
