"Edward, hard work, how is our roadshow?" In the evening, Edward also arrived here, but now Edward looked very tired except for his brighter eyes. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"It's good, it wasn't affected by the 'Hulk' remake. Now we agreed to go public at $8 per share, which is $2 billion in market capitalization based on our total 250 million shares. Edward said as he tucked himself into the couch.

"It's just that, I always think how can I break the ten-dollar mark." Liu Anran said with some disappointment.

"Andy, you can't think like that. Although you are saying that you are buying back the rights of those heroes and investing a lot of money in the movie, the outside world will not take this part of the value into account. Edward said with a smile.

"Hero movies are just emerging, and if it weren't for Columbia's Spider-Man this year, we'd probably not even be able to get the price of eight dollars."

"The value of these heroes is virtual and is greatly influenced by the external environment. And unlike Pixar Animation Studios, they have a lot of award-winning titles, what does Marvel have now? ”

"I understand this, but I always feel that our issue price is a bit low. But it doesn't matter, after the release of "The Incredible Hulk", people will see the strength of Marvel. Liu Anran shook his head and said with a smile.

I'm still a little too greedy, and I always want to soar into the sky. Edward's words are right, and the price is very good now.

"By the way, is there any new news from MGM?" Liu Anran asked again.

"Except for Robert? In addition to Li Wen's resignation, there is not much good news for the time being, and it is estimated that now they want to bet on the film "007" again. However, I learned from special sources that some shareholders are already a little anxious now. Edward said with a smile.

"MGM has had a dismal year this year, and now they are even less optimistic about next year. There is still a "007" this year, and there will be no such film next year. The most important thing is that the two companies that are interested in acquiring have chosen to remain silent for the time being, and I wonder if they are like us, waiting for the right time to make a move. ”

"When things are done on Marvel's side, you can have a small contact with these shareholders and management. However, pay attention to your whereabouts and don't be seen by the media, otherwise I am afraid that MGM will take the opportunity to raise the price again as soon as the report goes out. Liu Anran said after thinking for a while.

"We got involved so early?" Edward asked, frowning.

"Almost, the situation on the AOL Time Warner side is also more difficult now. The continuous losses have made their stock price fluctuate a lot lately, and if there is any more negative news, their stock price will definitely collapse. Liu Anran nodded and said.

"When the time comes, we will have to fight on two fronts, and we can't let people discover our ambitions, and it's very complicated to operate. There's always something to be done in advance. ”

Although the number of films this year is not the largest, this year will be the most critical year for my entire company system.

MGM and AOL Time Warner, these two companies have been their prey for a long time. If your system wants to grow rapidly, it can only do so by annexing these big film companies.

MGM is his first choice, but there is a chance that something will happen. What if people are biting the price now, or because of their identity, you don't sell it no matter how much you give? When the time comes, because he spends all his energy on MGM's side and misses the opportunity to intervene in AOL Time Warner, then he will really be in vain.

Ma Wuye grass is not fertile, these two companies are the best forage in the world. No matter who you eat, you can become fat and strong.

"I want to ask you, did you rent MGM's location to shoot "Fatal ID" this time just to make it easier for me to contact them so that too much information would not be exposed?" Edward asked with a smile.

In the original plan, there was no intention to start the acquisition of MGM so early, and the result of the discussion was to wait until MGM's third quarter financial report came out.

"There is also such a meaning, the main reason is that they have a lot of various resources and ask for enough money. Now I expect the film to cost less than $25 million or less, and we're not going to make a big deal about it anyway. Liu Anran shrugged his shoulders and said.

"Well, anyway, I've been working at MGM for a long time, and I still have some affection for it. If our company can buy it, maybe it can really recreate the glory of MGM, which is too miserable now. Edward said with a sigh.

At the corporate level, the more miserable MGM is, the happier he is. But from the perspective of personal feelings, he felt a little uncomfortable to see that MGM, which was extremely brilliant in the past, had become what it is now.

"Do you think MGM is miserable now?" Liu Anran asked with a smile.

"Isn't that enough?" Edward asked, surprised.

Liu Anran nodded: "It's not miserable enough." Without a company determined to grow MGM to take over, the day of its bankruptcy is not far off. In fact, this is the main reason why our company will be able to convince those shareholders and management in the future. ”

"I hope that more management and shareholders are genuinely thinking about MGM's future, not just to make a vote and leave. Otherwise, MGM would have fallen into a vicious circle. There are some things that money can't solve. No matter how much money MGM injects, there is no film that can attract audiences, and bankruptcy is its only way out. ”

This is not a lie, MGM's normal trajectory is to be acquired by the wealthy Sony and others in two years. But what is the result? It's not like you have to go bankrupt.

Sony has money, but Sony's main focus will be on the Colombian side, and they will not tilt the source of films on the Colombian side in order to develop MGM.

It can be said that this is the fate of MGM, and only a small company can cure it if it is acquired. But how can a small company buy MGM for billions of dollars? If MGM wants to get rid of fate, he has to choose himself. Now it's up to those at MGM to see if they can see that. (To be continued.) )
