288 I'm Buying Marvel!
(Thanks to my friend Extreme Snow 18k tip for encouragement)
"Avi, in fact, I don't just want to sell the two characters of Captain America and Thor, I want to be able to buy Marvel as a whole. "After thinking for a while, Liu Anran directly said the purpose www.biquge.info of coming over this time.
There is no need to hide and try again, they are short of money here, as long as the two of them can be satisfied with the conditions they offered, what are they afraid of?
"Mr. Andy, it's impossible, we Marvel can't sell it." Avi? Arad was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and said.
"Avi, Stan, don't be in a hurry, listen to me." Liu Anran scratched his neck for Hope and said to the two.
"You may have your own plans, but think about it, you have reached a point where you can sell anything in order to raise funds, what is left of Marvel now? In addition to the comic industry being able to recover some profits, how much can the film and television industry recover? ”
"X-Men is a big box office, but I don't think Fox is going to give you much of a cut. I've dealt with Fox and I'm working with them so I know exactly what they're thinking. ”
"Actually, I bought Marvel, and the whole company had a series of arrangements. After the acquisition, I will not interfere in the specific operation of Marvel, but I will buy back all the heroes that are sold, even if it costs a little more. My goal is simple, to get these characters on the big screen one after another. ”
"I bought Marvel to make money, but while making money, I will also build the Marvel brand. Not only in comics, but also in film and television works. ”
"Now the market value of Marvel, excluding the ones I own at most $400 million, I will increase 50% of the current stock price and buy it for $600 million. Later I will inject money to buy the characters that you have already sold. ”
"The two of you originally had shares in Marvel, you can choose to sell them, or you can choose to exchange them for the shares I acquired, which will give you preferential treatment, which can be said to be a disguised share exchange, but it is just a future Marvel shares."
"I can tell you in advance that I will not leave more than 10% of the shares to shareholders in this acquisition. I'm sure you also know that I made some money some time ago, and if I increase my capital injection, I can easily dilute some shares. ”
"Andy, are you really going to let Marvel run independently instead of serving your Dream Media?" Avi? Arad asked after a moment's thought.
"Yes, in fact, I have already envisioned your main position in the future, which is the producer of Marvel Films. That's why I came here today to meet with the two of you, because I think they are the soul of Marvel. Liu Anran nodded and said.
"Andy, although the price was very low when they sold the rights at the beginning, but with the high box office return of "X-Men", now you have to spend a lot more money to recycle heroes than before, even several times the price." Stan? Li looked at Liu Anran and said.
As for whether Anran Liu bought Marvel, Stan? There was nothing in Lee's heart that could not be done. Most of the characters were created by him, and it can be said that his position is critical, and whoever buys Marvel will not threaten his existence.
But with Avi? Arad has a similar mind, and he also wants these characters to be on the big screen. But with Marvel's current capital, it's almost like a dream. It's okay to shoot casually, but if you want to shoot well, you don't need to invest a lot, you don't have to spend money on those special effects.
"Stan, I just said that even if it costs a lot, I'm going to find a way to get all the heroes home." Liu Anran said with a smile.
"But the process can be long, and now that the companies that have bought the rights have seen their true value, it will be very difficult to negotiate."
"Why buy them all back instead of developing the heroes that Marvel already has, it's because I'm a very controlling person, and I don't want my kids to wander outside. Just like I will only give no more than 10% of the shares, although I will not interfere in the operation of Marvel, but I want to keep the development of Marvel under my control. ”
"Here, I sincerely hope that the two of you can do the work of the shareholders. Because I don't want the Marvel after the acquisition to be a Marvel that is falling apart, if I launch a hostile takeover, although Marvel is mine, but it is not the real Marvel, it will lose its soul, and only an empty shelf will remain. ”
Liu Anran said it sincerely, because at present, these two people are considered to have a relatively high stake in Marvel. As long as the two of them agree to their acquisition, the process will be very smooth. And it's much better for them to do the work than if they were the acquirer and went to someone else to do the work.
"Andy, I can't give you an exact answer right now, but I'll hold a board meeting to talk to you about this." Avi? Arad thought for a moment and said.
He has been said by Liu Anran to be very tempted, and now he is not much interested in being the CEO of Marvel, he is more interested in Marvel Film and Television after Liu Anran's investment.
If these heroic characters are made into movies one after another, you can imagine how much film and television production companies will occupy in the future Marvel system.
Comics make money and make money, but in the current situation, the ability of movies to attract money is much stronger than that of comics. And Dream Media has also heard that although only two films have been released, no matter which film has a very good box office.
"Okay, then please two of you. You can get in touch with George later, but I hope it will be sooner. Because the faster I buy it, the easier it will be to buy back the rights to those heroes. Liu Anran said with a smile.
He knows that basically Marvel is already his own, and the only thing that is bad is the way to acquire it. If these two people don't agree, they won't talk to themselves to the board of directors, but will reject them outright.
"Andy, how much money do you expect to need to buy back the rights of those heroes, I'd better prepare in advance." George asked after walking out of Marvel.
"Ten to two billion, and some heroes are afraid that it will be difficult to recover the money." Liu Anran shook his head and said.
Fox's "X-Men" has been released, and Sony's Spider-Man is estimated to be almost finished, and the two most gold-absorbing copyrights will also be the most difficult to repurchase. It seems that Marvel did not take it back in the later life, and I don't know if there is a chance for me to intervene in advance in this life. (To be continued.) )
