No one will have any opinion on Zhang's internal integration at Disney, because Disney is now his private company. Even if someone has an opinion, it doesn't matter.

A large number of people who had been placed in the company by the previous directors were all cleared. These people are basically the existence of eating for nothing and mixing wages and benefits, like blood-sucking leeches lying on Disney to suck blood. not only slowed down Disney's progress, but even continued to dig into the corners of this company.

Of course, Zhang Fan's ability to successfully win this company also has the credit of these people. If it weren't for them dragging down Disney and making Disney soar long ago. That one would never have won Disney anyway.

Although they had helped themselves invisibly, they were Zhang Fan's primary target at this time.

There were no hearings, no union protests, not even lawyers. After just providing a notice of dismissal and paying liquidated damages, these people no longer had anything to do with Zhang Fan's company. Even if some of these people do have real abilities, but they are too deeply tied to the previous directors, Zhang Fan will not use them.

As for who is who, who should be cleared. No one knows this better than Crown. This is also an important reason why Zhang Fan left him as president, and not only because of his own outstanding ability.

After these people were cleared out, the headhunter quickly sent a large number of excellent talents to fill the positions left by these people. These people are all people who need to have experience, experience, ability and ability.

In addition to the well-known handsome guys and beauties in Hollywood, there are also countless related talents. After hearing about Disney's large-scale recruitment, many people who worked in other companies took the initiative to apply. That's the benefit of fame.

After cleaning up the hidden dangers inside and arranging the shooting arrangements for many movies. Zhang Fan turned his attention to expansion.

Zhang Fan is well aware of the path he needs to take to expand now. His first goal was to take down Marvel.

The movies of the superhero series are the mainstream for many years to come, and Zhang Fan knows this better than anyone. And the two biggest copyright owners of superheroes, Marvel is linked to Warner, and Zhang Fan does not have the strength to snatch Marvel from Warner Group. Then his goal can only be placed on Marvel.

At this time, Marvel has sold the movie rights of most important superhero characters to Zhang Fan before, and now it can only watch Zhang Fan use their superhero roles to make a lot of money, but he can't get a dime. Even the purchase money obtained from Zhang Fan was collected by the bank to pay interest, and now he is still poor and about to be unable to operate.

The comics industry used to be very hot, and comics had a very prosperous golden years before the Internet became popular. At that time, Marvel was very large, but this environment also made them swell, and they continued to borrow money from banks to expand their business territory.

However, wait until the Internet age rises. The variety of new pastimes and the rapid exchange of information have led to the gradual decline of comics. And Marvel naturally encountered business difficulties, so it could only continue to borrow money to maintain its operation, looking forward to the possibility of turning over.

In the parallel world, they are indeed waiting for a chance to turn over. successfully completed a gorgeous turnaround through the adaptation of the superhero movie. It's just that this time they didn't have such a chance.

Zhang Fan will not go to discuss the acquisition with Marvel by himself, he has always believed that professional things must be done by professional people. So, he went to Goldman Sachs.

"Mr. Zhang, I don't know if there is anything that can help you this time. In David Lawrence's office, the Goldman Sachs influencer, who was recently promoted to senior partner and joined the board, was very friendly to Zhang. The reason why he was able to enter the board of directors was largely because of the benefits brought by Zhang Fan's business support. In the face of this kind of gold owner, it is natural to smile.

"Recently I fell in love with a company and wanted to buy it. Zhang Fan took the wine glass handed over by David Lawrence, and said with a smile, "I hope you Goldman Sachs can help." ”

"Absolutely no problem!" David Lawrence's face was about to burst into laughter, and he took a sip of his wine glass before looking at Zhang Fan confidently, "Providing customers with the best quality service is our belief that Goldman Sachs has always adhered to." Goldman Sachs has never failed to accept commissions from clients. ”

This sentence is not wrong, but there is moisture.

It is true that Goldman Sachs has never failed in accepting commissions, but they also have to weigh them very carefully before accepting commissions. After all, this reputation is not easy to come by, and it is impossible to smash it easily.

If it's a mega-company like General Electric or Boeing, or a regulated company like Loma. Even Goldman Sachs has no solution. Other companies will conduct a feasibility assessment after receiving the customer's commission. Only when it is sure that it is confident that it will do so will Goldman Sachs notify the client that they are willing to take the deal.

After all, the reputation of never failing is not easy to come by, so it is natural to cherish it.

"Good. Zhang Fan smiled and nodded, "I just like your work attitude." ”

After a pause, Zhang Fan looked at David Lawrence, "I want to buy Marvel." ”

"Marvel?" David Lawrence raised his eyebrows, "the one who made the comics?"

"Yes. Zhang Fan nodded, "It's the Marvel that does comics." ”

David Lawrence quickly recalled some Marvel information in his mind. People like them will study the details of each company on weekdays, and when necessary, they can reply directly to customers. And David Lawrence naturally has an understanding of Marvel.

After a brief recall, David Lawrence quickly responded, "Mr. Zhang, Marvel is not doing well now, owes a high amount of bank loans, and has to pay a lot of interest every year. Their profits are not even enough to pay interest. And most of the company's equity has been mortgaged to banks. If you want to make an acquisition, it is not very difficult. ”

David Lawrence didn't ask Zhang Fan why he wanted to buy Marvel, it was the customer's business that had nothing to do with them. All he has to think about is how to fulfill the client's request and then earn a commission for the company.

"Good. Zhang Fan nodded and continued to ask, "I don't know how much money is needed, and how much is the commission?"

"If it's a purchase along with debt, it's about $2 billion. David Lawrence thought for a moment and made an offer: "The commission is about ten percent. ”

"Good. Zhang Fan laughed, this price did not exceed his psychological expectations, "That's two billion two billion dollars." I hope to hear the good news soon. ”

"Rest assured, Mr. Zhang. David Lawrence also laughed: "Goldman Sachs will definitely make its clients happy." ”

"It was a pleasure to work with. Zhang Fan raised his glass.

"It was a pleasure to work with. ”

If the acquisition of Marvel to become a superhero film company is just a small thing. Then Zhang Fan's preparation to acquire Lucasfilm is definitely a sensational news in Hollywood.

Lucasfilm, which owns the rights to the Star Wars and Raiders of the Lost Ark films, and also owns ILM, is a coveted fat for all of Hollywood. If you want to win this company, it is estimated that it will be difficult to rely on Goldman Sachs alone, so Zhang Fan chose to go to Lucas to discuss it in person.

Now Zhang Fan is very closely watched in Hollywood, and he doesn't want to expose his thoughts before the acquisition is completed. In that case, you will definitely be sniped by several other film companies. When it comes to money, there is no shortage of film companies with big backers behind them. Even more than Zhang Fan's.

Large corporations such as Sony, Time Warner, Wilcom, News Corp, etc., are all large companies with assets of more than 100 billion dollars. If Zhang Fan exposed his thoughts in advance and was sniped. Even if these companies fail to snatch Lucasfilm, they will inevitably raise prices under malicious competition, which is not something Zhang Fan wants to see.

Therefore, Zhang Fan wanted to have a secret meeting with George Lucas, and he had to finalize this matter at one time.

Zhang Fan thought of the previous incident when George Lucas invited him to the meeting through Spielberg. He immediately threw a big party to celebrate his role as Disney owner, inviting almost all of Hollywood's heavyweights to attend. George Lucas was naturally among the invites.

After winning Disney, Zhang Fan bought a top mansion in Beverly Hills. The mansion, which cost him tens of millions of dollars, was huge, with dozens of rooms and a sprawling garden and tennis court. Of course, swimming pools are also indispensable.

The mansion is very beautiful, but Zhang Fan himself doesn't like it very much. In Zhang Fan's view, as long as the house is enough to live in, what should it be so big?

However, in fact, the main reason is that when Zhang Fan first came in, he couldn't find his room after playing games in the game room at night.

The building is a three-story building with many rooms on each floor. Zhang Fan couldn't find his room after wandering around for a long time, which made him very angry. And Lin Yueqing, who was reading a magazine and waiting for him in the room at the time, waited for a long time and didn't see Zhang Fan, so she called and asked in confusion, only to learn that Zhang Fan was actually lost in his home!

If the person waiting for him in the room that night was Li Ruhui or Lin Yueying, Zhang Fan would not be so angry. Because these two women are more mature, even if they can laugh at Zhang Fan at that time, they will not publicize it.

But Lin Yueqing is completely a little girl's temperament, and before Zhang Fan returned to the room, she had already begun to call Lin Yueying to tell her about it.

Then, almost all the women around Zhang Fan knew about it.

If it weren't for something this time, Zhang Fan wouldn't want to come at all. He lives on the beach side of Malibu on weekdays.
