Five years ago, Warner's "Batman" generated a huge profit of no less than $1 billion at the box office and merchandise sales at a cost of $35 million.

Ron. After Perelman confirmed his guess, he immediately thought that if Firefly coveted Marvel, its goal must be Marvel's superhero movie rights that are on par with DC's Batman, Superman and other characters.

Less than an hour after the call reached Marvel's New York headquarters, Ron . Perelman looked at the faxed documents of the copyright transfer agreement in his hand and confirmed his suspicion 100 percent.

Although Firefly directly holds only one insignificant Blade Warrior movie copyright, and it is still in the hands of Firefly's New Line Pictures. But since the second half of last year, Flower Pictures, which has been separated from the Firefly Group, has successively obtained the copyright of "Batman", "Fantastic Four" and "Hulk" from some small film companies that own the copyright of Marvel superhero movies by transferring the capital injection rights of its films, and Flower Pictures is still competing with some other film companies for the copyright of "X-Men", the deal was supposed to end in the first half of the year, but because of the participation of Flower Pictures, Marvel in order to be able to sell at a better price, It has been waiting for the price to sell until now.

Once again, as the controlling shareholder, he asked Marvel CEO Avi over the phone. Arad immediately stopped all Marvel superhero character authorizations after Ron . Perelman began to think about his next steps.

The Firefly Group's statement in the morning did not mention the Disney animation division, but only made a threat as a Marvel creditor, then. This shows that the Firefly Group has not abandoned the intentions of Disney's animation division. Plus Marvel at this time. Ron. Perelman suddenly felt that he suddenly had two important chips, which would not only allow him to win a seat on the board of directors of the Firefly Group, but might even go one step further and become a shareholder of the Firefly Group!

But for now, the most important thing is how to avoid the fate of Marvel's bankruptcy protection.

Once the New York District Court approves the bankruptcy protection request of creditors led by the Firefly Group, then Marvel will face the fate of being taken over by creditors, and when the time comes. Marvel will be completely out of its control. As a super capital player, Ron . Perelman was able to think of a series of ways to prevent Marvel from being protected from bankruptcy in an instant, but he also realized that since the Firefly Group had been planning secretly for so long, he would definitely not have too much time left, and he would probably have less than two weeks left.

Moreover, most of the ways to prevent Marvel from being protected from bankruptcy are, in the final analysis, nothing more than one word, money.

But for the sake of this plan to join the board of directors of the Firefly Group, Ron . Perelman used all of Andrews Holdings' liquidity to buy Firefly Group bonds. Some of them were forcibly transferred from Revlon and other holding subsidiaries temporarily, and it was impossible for him to come up with enough funds for Marvel's capital operation in a short period of time.

Now. The original layout has become a kind of cocoon and self-restraint.

The only way to get out of the current predicament is to find a way to get enough external support.

Ron. Perelman looked up the list of the chief executives of Hollywood's seven major studios, weighed it for a moment, and eliminated Columbia, Fox and MGM, which are closely associated with Firefly. Perelman called his assistant and said, "Help me make an appointment with Universal CEO Michael. Eisner, Time Warner CEO Terry. Semel and Paramount CEO Shirley. Lansing, as soon as possible. ”

……

At Santa Monica Airport, Eric stood next to his car, waved at a Gulfstream business jet, and watched the Gulfstream run all the way through to the sky.

Business jets in addition to Warren. Warren Buffett, Tom. Murphy and David. In addition to West, Katzenberg and Firefly's chief counsel, Edward Edward. Lewis, these people will rush to New York together, using their connections and influence to lobby the New York District Court to approve Marvel's bankruptcy protection application in the shortest possible time.

After revealing his plans for Marvel in a complete gesture of revenge, Eric believes that Ron . Perelman's shrewdness can definitely guess the firefly's covetousness for Marvel. However, the chips in the hands of the fireflies are far more than Ron's. Perelman's speculation.

In addition to Marvel's CEO Avi. In addition to being co-opted by the Fireflies, in the process of absorbing Marvel bonds, the Fireflies also collected a large number of Ron. Evidence of Perelman's use of Marvel for illegal capital operations.

Fireflies at this time even Ron. The amount of Perelman's use of Andrews Holdings to embezzle Marvel's financing funds is clear. Marvel's current long-term bonds total $553 million, but only $73 million has been spent on Marvel's development in recent years, and the other $470 million has flowed into Andrews Holdings' account.

Just take control of Marvel and get more detailed and conclusive evidence, Ron. Perelman's way out of this crisis will cost far more than the $470 million he gained.

Watching the Gulfstream business jet disappear into the sky, Eric withdrew his gaze and looked at the female assistant next to him, Kelly. Haynes said, "Kelly, what do you think of Ron. . . What will Perelman do next? ”

"Of course, it's to protect Marvel," Kelly followed Eric into the car and continued: "The most direct way is for major shareholders to inject capital to push up Marvel's stock price. Perelman certainly didn't have enough liquidity to buy Firefly's bonds, and he didn't have enough time to raise hundreds of millions of dollars. Since this approach doesn't work, I think he will definitely find a way to create a very big positive news to prevent Marvel from going into bankruptcy protection. ”

"Good news," Eric leaned back on the leather seat and said, "Fireflies want Marvel, is it good news?" ”

Kelly laughed, "Of course, but most people definitely don't think so." Now that the information surrounding the recent events of Firefly has become a mess in the media, it is not so easy to sort out the ins and outs of it all before the dust settles completely. ”

Eric narrowed his eyes relaxedly and said, "The more chaos there is, the better it will be for us, and I think the next news will definitely make the situation even more chaotic." ”

"When are you going to have a showdown with the animation department?"

With a confident smile, Eric said, "Wait, since Ron. . . Perelman needs good news, and Disney animation is such an important 'good' that will definitely be used. (To be continued.) )
