Chapter 1463: Stan Lee Leaves

After the failure of the movie, Stan Lee felt that he could still discuss with the United States Priority Foundation, after all, he was Stan Lee, the person who knew Marvel best, and even if the movie failed, the United States First Foundation would not do anything to him.

But what Stan Lee didn't expect was that Harry Potter didn't hesitate to throw two options at him.

One option is that Stan Lee will remain the editor-in-chief of Marvel Comics, but the president will be replaced, and he will be assigned by the Priority Foundation.

As a result, Stan Lee will lose most of the control of the company, only the control of Marvel Comics, and as for a series of other spin-off products and IPs such as Marvel movies, Stan Lee will lose control.

The good thing is that because of the arrears caused by the failure of the movie, the Priority Foundation can give Stan Lee a 20-year time buffer, and Stan Lee can find a way to pay back the money within 20 years.

Well, 20 years later, Stan Lee is almost dying, and there is no need to repay the money, which is basically forgiving Stan Lee's debt.

The second option is that Stan Lee must repay the money within three months, otherwise all of Stan Lee's shares in the company will be frozen and liquidated, others will be liquidated from the board of directors, and he will also lose all his positions in the company until he knows that he will pay back the money.

Harry Potter's intention is very obvious, that is, he wants to take this opportunity to oust Stan Lee from the company's presidentship, so that he can only be in charge of Marvel comics!

When I first took over Marvel before, because the Priority Foundation didn't know anything and didn't have anything, I could only borrow Stan Lee's chess piece to control Marvel.

And as 5 years have passed, the Rice First Foundation has been full of chess pieces within Marvel, and many editors are eyeing Stan Lee's position, they have cheaper salaries and are obedient, so Stan Lee, the president, is not needed.

But the problem is that Stan Lee is very high within the company, and if Stan Lee is forcibly driven down, there will inevitably be huge fluctuations within Marvel, and Stan Lee still has a lot of Marvel shares in his hands, which will also add unnecessary trouble.

So the first option is what the Priority Foundation wants to see, and it is also what they think is the best, Stan Lee has kept his position as editor-in-chief, kept his shares, and has forgiven his debts, so that he can continue to stay in the company with dignity.

As for the second option, it is completely jade-burning, and normal people will not choose it.

But what he didn't expect was that Stan Lee broke out, and he angrily said that he would never accept the humiliation of the first option, so Stan Lee chose the second path very simply, and threw all his shares to the United States Priority Foundation, and then patted his ass and left.

This was really something Harry Potter didn't expect, because the instructions given to him by Boss Jia only asked to take away part of the power in Stan Lee's hands, and did not mean to kick Stan Lee out of the company.

So Harry Potter called our Boss Jia for instructions as soon as possible, and after Boss Jia received the call, he groaned for a while and then said directly, "Marvel is Marvel, not Stan Lee's Marvel, since Stan Lee is gone, let him get out of the way completely, don't let him come back!" At the same time, the interior of Marvel should be cleaned to completely remove Stan Lee's residual poison. ”

So, after Stan Lee left, there was a big purge within Marvel, and all the people who were unhappy with Stan Lee were very simply kicked out of the company, and in a short period of time, about one-third of Marvel's people were lost, and all traces of Stan Lee within Marvel were completely removed, and even all things related to Stan Lee were thrown out, as if Marvel had never had Stan Lee as president.

But in this way, Marvel has inevitably entered a complete silence, and in the next few years, Marvel seems to have become a little transparent, except for the usual release of comics every month, there is no other action, many people in the industry can't help but sigh, Marvel is dead, this former comic giant, no longer exists.

On the other hand, Stan Lee was very prosperous, and he soon established Stan Lee Entertainment Group under his own name, and then announced his entry into the entertainment industry such as comics and movies, and Stan Lee announced that he would launch the world's first webtoon magazine to cope with the future wave of networking.

Stan Lee also pointed out in an interview that in the future, with the continuous development of the Internet, the traditional paper media will decline, and the future of comics is on the Internet, and everyone can directly watch comics and webtoon magazines through PCs in the future, which will completely overturn the empire of traditional paper media, and he will become the founder of a new empire!

Because at this time, the United States is at the highest stage of the development of the network economy, and the stock prices of various network concept stocks have soared to an unimaginable level.

For example, 51 Search, because in October last year, 51 Search announced a new mechanism for paid advertising and PPC.

According to the report published by 51 search, they will first be on the right side of the search page, if there is a row of advertising columns, click on the advertising column to enter the ad-oriented website, to achieve the purpose of driving traffic to the website!

As for the bidding ranking, it is even more simple and crude, that is, 51 search no longer simply determines the final search ranking according to the number of clicks on the website, but will adjust the ranking according to the payment of the target website.

As long as you're willing to pay, a newly created website will appear directly at the top of relevant keyword searches.

And 90% of the world's netizens, when using 51 search, will click directly on the first website that appears without thinking, and firmly believe that this website is the most clicked and concerned in the entire network world, and it is also the most authoritative website, which is very trustworthy.

Of course, these two reports were not published in the news media, but were implicitly mentioned in the report to shareholders, after all, this thing is really a bit unkind.

Even if it is obscure, but in the eyes of shareholders, it is a major benefit.

Especially after a few months of implementation of the new system, page advertising and PPC brought in more than $100 million in advertising revenue in just three months, making 51 Search successfully make a profit of $1 million in the first quarter, and the entire 51 search stock went completely crazy.

Now that the stock price of 51 Search has exceeded $170 per share, the total market value has exceeded $170 billion, so that all the guys who sold their stocks for a few dollars when 51search went public regretted that their intestines were about to break.

The popularity of 51 search stocks has further promoted the stocks of the entire network technology concept stock section, and after Stan Lee announced that he was going to establish an online magazine, he was immediately sought after by the capital of the whole country, I heard that there have been dozens of funds, expressing their willingness to invest tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars in Stan Lee's company, and many employees who left Marvel have also defected to Stan Lee.
