Hearing this voice, Wan Qiwen said to Li Ruotong with a little reluctance: "Tongtong, do you have any contact information, when I go back to Xiangjiang, I will ask you to go to the mountains and see the sea, by the way, I also have a seaside horse farm at home, we can also ride horses to see the sea." ”

Li Ruotong took out his sticky note and wrote down a landline number, then sent it to Wan Qiwen and said: "As long as I don't fly, I'm at home most of the time, and you can find me by calling this number." ”

took Li Ruotong's phone number and put it away, Wan Qiwen waved at Li Ruotong and said, "Then let's go back to Xiangjiang and see you again." ”

Li Ruotong also waved at Wan Qiwen and said, "See you back to Xiangjiang." ”

As soon as Li Ruotong's words fell, Wan Qiwen turned around, and then walked towards the first-class warehouse with her two long legs.

Looking at Wan Qiwen's back, Li Ruotong shook his head unconsciously and muttered: "How can a girl as good as Wenwen be Xu Cun's lover?" Is the charm of money really that great......

When Xu Cun, who walked out of the cabin under the stars and moon, passed by Li Ruotong, he nodded slightly at Li Ruotong, and then got off the plane.

Wan Qiwen, who was walking at the end, made a phone call gesture at Li Ruotong, and then also got off the plane.

……

As soon as Xu Cun and his party got off the plane, they were taken by Alan Ryder Jr., Barry Cindy, Jeffrey, and Yuan Tianfan to a manor that Xu Cun had asked Jeffrey to help him build two years ago, which he named 'Dream Manor'.

The scenery of the Pebble Beach beachfront is unusually beautiful, even breathtakingly beautiful - on one side of the road is the Pacific Ocean with cliffs and the waves below the cliffs, and on the other side are the mansions and estates of billionaires and celebrities hidden in the ancient redwood forest, and the Dreamland Manor, a two-genus estate on the Pebble Beach beachfront, is also in this redwood forest.

As soon as he arrived at the Dream Manor, Xu Cun let the women move freely, and he himself took Weng Hong and Huo Wenxi to have a meeting with Alan Ryder Jr., Barry Cindy, Jeffrey, and Yuan Tianfan.

The focus of this meeting was only one - the acquisition of Marvel.

It is now March 5, 1987, and there is still half a month to go before the time of this Oscar on March 20, and the half month that Xu Cun came early is the time to acquire Marvel, of course, if things don't go well, this time will also be postponed for a while - in Xu Cun's view, Marvel is an indispensable part of his big entertainment empire, so Xu Cun is bound to win Marvel!

Alain Ryder Jr. explained to Xu Cun about the current negotiations: "Since we raised the purchase price to $800 million, the Goodman family has given a very positive response to our DreamWorks Group's acquisition of Marvel Comics. Mr. Yuan Tianfan speculated that the psychological value of the Goodman family should be 850 million US dollars. Therefore, as long as we negotiate properly, the Goodman family should not refuse the purchase price of 850 million US dollars. In addition, we also found out that the deadline for the repayment of the Goodman family by the three banks, including Citibank, is the end of next month, and they will apply for the seizure of Marvel Comics after the expiration date, so the Goodman family can't afford to spend time with us. ”

Yuan Tianfan took the words of Alan Ryder Jr. and said: "Mr. Xu, if you are not in a hurry, I think we should not need 850 million US dollars to buy the entire Marvel, and even, if we insist on the purchase price of 800 million US dollars, the Goodman family will eventually give in, because we speculate that New World Pictures will not come up with a purchase price higher than 800 million US dollars." If you ask Chairman John to put some pressure on the Goodman family, I think our purchase price will be lower. ”

Xu Cun gently tapped the armrest of the chair he was sitting on with his fingers, and then said: "I can ask John Reed to help you put pressure on you, but what I want is not a reduction in the purchase price, but the full copyright of all the heroes of Marvel Comics and the talent of Marvel will not be lost, especially Stanley Lieber, I want him to lead the vast majority of Marvel comic artists to continue to serve Marvel." ”

Stanley Leyber is Martin Goodman's brother-in-law, and is better known by his pen name than his real name, Stan Lee.

In the last life, Stan Lee, as editor and main author, not only created 80% of Marvel's well-known characters, but also accompanied Marvel through more than 60 years of vicissitudes. It can be said that it was Stan Lee who really created the miracle of Marvel, and he is therefore known as the leading boss of the American comic book industry.

In the 50s, American comics suffered the greatest challenge, and the "theory that comics are harmful" began to become popular -- in the spring of 1954, the Senate held a hearing on the publication of comics. Comic companies had to set their own limits, and at the same time, there was a movement against comics in society.

Publishers shut down, and within a year, comic book sales fell by 75 percent. Marvel's founder, Martin Goodman, was so frustrated with losses that he shut down the company then known as Atlas. Although its comics were still in publication - only a small office remained, and it had lost all distribution channels, having to borrow the channels of rival DC Comics to distribute the few remaining comics.

Marvel was teetering on the brink of collapse, and the comic book industry seemed so promising that Stan Lee, who had struggled for years in adversity, almost decided to quit the industry and find another job. However, in 1961, something happened that changed all that - when Marvel boss Goodman and DC boss Lebovitz were playing golf, Lebovitz mentioned that DC had just launched the hugely popular "Justice League", a team with all the star characters. Inspired by this, Martin Goodman wanted to form a Marvel team.

After listening to Goodman's request, Stan Lee successively created a large number of famous heroes such as Fantastic Four, Hulk, Hulk, Spider-Man, Thor, Thor, Iron Man, Ant-Man, Wasp, Daredevil and Agent Nick Fury, and then formed a team of these heroes - The Avengers.

The two most valuable things of Marvel are, of course, the full copyright of all its heroes, and Stan Lee, a Marvel cartoonist. Therefore, Xu Cun would rather spend tens of millions of dollars more, but also ensure that these two most valuable things are intact!
