Chapter 587: Proposal to Marvel (Ask for Subscription)
"Honey, you're going to see Mr. Stan Lee?"
After Xiao Shu came back, Scarlett asked him with emotion, and then she comforted Xiao Shu instead: "It's okay, it's just that I lost a supporting role, I don't care very much, after all, I now have "The Hunger Games", I believe in your vision, as long as I play "The Hunger Games" well, then I can ensure the future development." ”
glanced at Scarlett very unexpectedly, Xiao Shu vaguely remembered that the several American beauties he had dated in his previous life were not like this, even if it was a more real Imanka who dared to show her feelings, she never denied that she was a vain woman, let alone Scarlett? When this woman dated Xiao Shu in her previous life, she had luxury cars and mansions, and she almost asked Xiao Shu what she wanted, and she never covered it up, but Xiao Shu in her previous life took a fancy to the aura of the black widow and satisfied Scarlett with money.
This is also the reason why Xiao Shu was still able to get Scarlett's company in that kind of "non-lifting" situation in his previous life.
But now......
This black widow won't be sincere to me, will she?
A thought popped up in Xiao Zhu's mind, and then he found that there was really such a possibility, after all, Scarlett is still very immature now, and she has not even experienced a serious love affair, let alone whether she has started to debauchery.
"Okay dear, I'll take care of these things, now come home with me, you promise me that you will ...... tonight"
Xiao Zhu's voice grew lower and lower, and finally something was said in Scarlett's ear......
The wheezing sound of obscene Fei sounded from the mansion in Billfield Hills, Scarlett "fulfilled" her "promise", and that night, with everything on her body, desperately met all of Xiao Zhu's requirements that exceeded the bottom line, when she was exhausted by the toss, suddenly, the phone rang.
She didn't move, this woman knew that Xiao Zhu's personal phone calls were very few people, and there were generally extremely important things.
"Good, keep ......"
Xiao Zhu patted Scarlett's fat butt sitting on top of him, picked up the phone, it was Stan Lee's, the "father of Marvel superheroes", who had already made a decision.
"Mr. Gretel, I am honored to inform you that after the discussion of the Marvel Board of Directors, we believe that we can accept your investment, but it is not your original plan, we hope that you can invest in at least 10 subsequent Marvel Comics movies, each of which will invest at least $100 million, of course, if you want to meet your desired requirements, then for "Iron Man 2", you need to give $200 million investment!"
Stan Lee's voice came, and what he said sounded very excessive, investing in the next ten films, if from the perspective of ordinary people, this is simply a standard model of injustice, overall, it is 1.1 billion US dollars, who can stand this?
Xiao Shu remained silent, in fact, he knew that Marvel's next 10 movies were almost all superhero movies, as well as the "Avengers" series, and these movies, without exception, were all big hits, which was actually a surefire deal.
Of course, maybe Marvel was really scared of the funds, so after those people learned of Xiao Zhu's conditions, they raised their knives fiercely and prepared to slaughter him, which was the intention of the other party, and it was not disguised in any way.
"What do I get?" Xiao Shu said coldly, and there seemed to be a lot of indignation in his tone, making people feel that he was about to give up this investment immediately.
Stan Lee was a little flustered on the phone, he scolded the board of directors in his heart, but he was also helpless, because the plan proposed by the board of directors was also approved by him, and he felt that if Xiao Shu could accept it, it would create a new era for Marvel.
did not directly answer Xiao Zhu's question, Stan Li then said to Xiao Shu seriously:
"Mr. Gretel, let me tell you an inside story, just tonight, after the screening of "Iron Man", Walt Disney officially launched an acquisition of Marvel Comics, the other party already controlled about 20% of Marvel Comics' shares, and now they are going to fully acquire the next 80% shares, and they have also carried out a reverse repurchase of Marvel Comics shares in the stock market!"
He said cautiously: "Walt Disney has prepared very, very sufficient funds, and according to the Marvel board of directors, the other party has prepared at least $3 billion in cash!" That's a terrifying number! ”
That's $3 billion, and if I'm not mistaken, Walt Disney ended up buying you for $4.2 billion! Xiao Shu said in his heart.
Just listen to Stan Lee continue: "The board of directors is unwilling to let the capital fully control Marvel, but if the other party is willing to pay $3 billion, even if the results of "Iron Man" are too good, they can't stop the pace of the other party's acquisition, after all, we are just a comic book company, and most of the directors of the company, if they are successfully acquired by Walt Disney, they will all become billionaires, and no one can resist this temptation!" ”
"It was I who persuaded the company, I think, although you are a capital upstart, but you at least understand the plot, know how to create, your conditions are actually very generous to me personally, this is the sincerity you show, I am willing to make you such a friend!"
"So, I'm going to take out 5% of my shares in exchange for your $1.1 billion investment, yes, you heard you right, every next investment you make in these films, you're going to get an equivalent stake in Marvel, and of course, when you invest your first $200 million in the Iron Man 2 crew, you're going to get those rights that you said earlier! I'm just asking the board of directors to give you the right to continue investing so that you can get involved in this, Mr. Gretel, would you like to join the Marvel board? ”
Hearing Stan Lee's words, Xiao Zhu was shocked!
To be honest, the two of them have rarely met, and except for the one tonight, the previous meetings were quite bland, and even the first time they met, they were full of hostility, and it was really surprising that Stan Lee was able to say such a condition to Xiao Zhu.
But Xiao Shu then reacted; Stan Lee is an old fox, how could he sway the board of directors because of a little "personal affection" that "doesn't exist at all"?
After thinking about it carefully, Xiao Zhu will understand: this is a typical battle of capital.
When I heard that Walt Disney brought $3 billion to buy, maybe Marvel was already planning to sell, but everyone is greedy, if you can get $3 billion, then why can't you get more? And at this time, Xiao Zhu, an outsider, entered the game, he seemed to be stunned, as soon as he opened his mouth, he was 200 million US dollars, and he didn't want any shares, just some meager requirements.
So, why not use Shaw against Walt Disney? Let Walt Disney feel the crisis and make them ask for a higher price. As for the conditions for Xiao Zhu: take a look, the investment of close to $1.1 billion, even if it is finally completed, will only get 5% of Marvel shares, so what is the market value of Marvel in the final calculation? $22 billion!
This is the terrible human heart, before "Iron Man" was successful, Marvel had already opened its lion-like mouth and roared out a sky-high acquisition of $22 billion!
But even so, Xiao Shu knows that he may have changed history, at least he has now entered the Walt Disney acquisition of Marvel!
$1.1 billion, is it a lot?
Xiao Shu doesn't know how much cash he has, but a month ago, the cash in his hands had broken through the $1.5 billion mark, and in this month, he added at least $1 billion in revenue, not only from the acquisition of the Los Angeles Times, but also in other aspects, such as the profits of the company under his name, such as the conversion of the system's scattered wealth quota!
So far, the cash available in Xiao Zhu's hands is at least 2.5 billion US dollars!
"Mr. Stan Lee, I have a suggestion."
Xiao Shu said calmly: "I can contribute 1.1 billion US dollars, and I can even take it out now, but I not only want 5% of the shares, I want all the copyrights of superheroes to be jointly licensed, plus 10% of the shares!" ”
"It can't be!" Stan Lee reacted strongly.
Xiao Shu just smiled flatly: "Mr. Stan Lee, I think you should know that even if I buy it from the stock market now, with 1.1 billion US dollars, I can at least buy all the loose shares of Marvel in the market, which together is much more than 5%." ”
Stan Lee was silent, delaying the payment of $1.1 billion, but now taking out $1.1 billion immediately is two different things, he hasn't reacted just now, and now it suddenly occurred to him that such a person as Gerrit can come up with a huge sum of $1.1 billion in one go!
Oh my God, what is this concept? Even Walt Disney, which has the support of Wall Street, only came up with $3 billion! He's alone, almost the equivalent of a third of Wall Street?
At this time, I only heard Xiao Shu continue: "1.6 billion US dollars! I want 15% of Marvel's shares, plus the joint authorization of all superheroes, you can use this money to easily complete all your next superhero-related plans, and I, as a major shareholder, will never obstruct your plans, and even continue to support you, and the licensing fees I get will only be used to develop East Asian markets such as China, in addition, maybe some small characters like Black Widow, little superheroes, these are things that Marvel can't do now, I'm willing to bear it for you......"
Stan Lee gasped, according to Xiao Zhu's current offer, Marvel Comics is almost already about 10 billion in market value, which is much, much higher than Walt Disney's offer!
Money is the cutie who is most likely to be shaken, even if it is Stan Lee, at this time, he is also considering whether to put aside Walt Disney and choose to fully cooperate with Xiao Zhu.
But in the end, Stan Lee still forcibly resisted the temptation, gritted his teeth and said: "I can't make decisions about this matter, I hope that Mr. Grett, can attend the board meeting tomorrow at Marvel, and we will formally discuss your investment intentions at the board meeting." ”
"Well, I'll be there!"
After a short word, Xiao Shu hung up the phone, and immediately, Xiao Shu felt a soft touch surrounding him, and when he looked up, he found that Scarlett was using a difficult posture, and the whole person was on himself......
"Honey, are you really going to work with Marvel? For me! ”
Scarlett looked at Xiao Shu with a smile while twisting her body, only to feel that her whole body had melted. In her opinion, Xiao Shu did all this for herself, and she couldn't give Xiao Shu anything at all, so how could she not be moved.
"Don't think about it, you're my woman."
In a categorical word, this black widow only felt that at this moment, she was willing to do anything for Xiao Shu......
"Honey, I'm going to you tonight until you vomit blood......"
Black Widow shouted frantically.
This night was indeed crazy, but Xiao Shu still had pity for women, and naturally did not go too far with this black widow, but the next day, Scarlett still couldn't get up, and in the early morning, she almost groaned and said to Xiao Shu: "Oh my God, I feel like my whole person is falling apart......"
"Rest well, wait until I get back a big role for you."
Xiao Zhu kissed her on the cheek, then got up and dressed, and walked out of Billliver Hills.
"Boos, good morning!"
At this time, it was seven o'clock in the morning, most people had not yet come to work, Jessica had just arrived at the company, and then saw Xiao Shu in a suit appeared in the company, she hurriedly bowed her head and said hello, she was wearing the iconic apricot yellow OL suit, gray brown lace stockings under the short skirt, and Chanel's small leather boots on her little feet, since this standard American beauty became Xiao Zhu's secretary, her life has changed dramatically, and now Jessica's body is at least tens of thousands of dollars.
"Arrange for you to fly with me to New York later!"
20 minutes after Xiao Zhu said this, the two had already arrived at the Los Angeles airport, and then Jessica saw Xiao Zhu's private jet "Shenhao No. 1", which had been parked here.
The temporary route has been arranged, and within five minutes of Xiao Zhu's arrival, the plane took off and flew directly to New York International Airport, and at 8:30 a.m., Shenhao No. 1 landed at New York International Airport, and when Jessica stepped off the private jet, she still looked confused.
It wasn't until this time that Jessica knew that her boss was negotiating with Marvel Comics about the acquisition, which was Marvel, which had just produced "Iron Man"!
There was a newspaper of the day on the plane, and almost all the entertainment media praised "Iron Man", among them, there was also the advance data of "Iron Man"!
In the Friday advance of the release of "Iron Man" yesterday, "Iron Man" won an excellent result of 9.8 million US dollars! This result is the best record for the opening of this year's movie, and it is foreseeable that in one day today, "Iron Man" will stage more exciting box office data!
