Chapter 057: I Have a Dream (Ask for Everything)

"Old man, I wish you a Merry Christmas, a happy New Year, and a happy birthday in advance. Put down the mess of Marvel, and you will have a comfortable life. ”

Perelman touched what little bald head he had left, and said, "When you are old, you young people will be in the world." Okay, it's okay to put it down, I can't run Marvel well, so leave it to you, I hope you can succeed.

Well, I'm going to have a cocktail party on my behalf for key Marvel employees, directors, and shareholders, and it's Christmas Eve. It's a goodbye to me and Marvel, and it's a new beginning for you and Marvel, and then introduce you to some friends, and remember to bring a female companion. ”

"Okay, no problem, I'll see if I can bring Robert Iger with me. ”

"Well, I don't have the passion of yours anymore. I feel like you're in a bit of a hurry, though. Although now is a good time to buy Marvel, you are in too much of a hurry. The price you paid for buying Marvel this time is also a bit bigger, and it's not worth it. ”

"Don't hide it from the old man, it's really expensive, at least it costs me about 35% more money. However, there are also quite a few shares that I have exchanged for ICQ shares. ICQ's shares are indeed very valuable, but after all, it will be two or three years later, and I don't feel distressed, so I should consider the introduction of venture capital, and the introduction of more investors will be beneficial to the development and listing of ICQ. ”

"That's right. However, your guaranteed repurchase conditions are too high, you are very bold, and your gambling is not small. It's still young and good, with courage, courage, and execution. ”

"I can't help it, if the conditions are not good, I can't win Marvel. You know, a large part of my money comes from private equity funds, so the money must not be put in my hands, it must be spent, and only by spending it can I make money, otherwise, I am not working for those fund clients for day, so ah, I can spend it now, and I can buy it. However, I bought very small companies that weren't worth much. ”

"Oh, I heard that the Hotmail company you bought, Microsoft's Bill Gates made an offer to you, he liked that company very much, and he wanted to buy it, but you preempted it, and Bill was very annoyed. This company is being targeted by Microsoft, and you still say it's not worth it?"

"I bought it for tens of millions of dollars, Hotmail is relatively creative, but the technical reserves and R&D personnel are pitiful, you think, they only have about 20 people, they really don't have any background. Bill really wants to start an email business, and I heard that they are developing their own email system, eyeing Hotmail, probably trying to buy the past and strengthen the email business. ”

"Are you going to sell it to him, then?"

"Don't sell, I just bought it, even if I want to sell it, I have to develop it for a few years, let's make users, sell it now, I can sell it for up to 200 million, 300 million US dollars, it's not interesting, in less than three years, I can sell Hotmail for 2 billion, 3 billion US dollars, not to mention Microsoft, maybe AOL wants it." ”

"Okay, you young people are really aggressive, we old guys are really old, and our vision is not good, not only the Internet industry we can't understand, but now I can't understand the comic industry, tell me, what do you want to do when you win Marvel? You won't be like that guy in Carl Icahn, thinking about selling all those superheroes, right?"

"How is it possible, you can only sell IP for a few dollars, even the most famous Peter Parker, at most 10 million US dollars, there is no need at all, I and Carl Icahn are completely opposite, I have a dream, I want those superheroes to go home. Yes, Mr. Perelman, not only am I not going to sell superheroes, I'm going to bring all the superheroes out there home. ”

"Oh, that's not easy, don't look at the time of the sale, you didn't sell for a few dollars, if you want to get it back, it won't be a small amount. ”

"Yes, it's really hard to take it back, but if you don't take it back now, it will be even more difficult in the future, New Line Pictures wants to start the film plan of "Blade", and Twentieth Century Fox has been improving the script of "X-Men", even if it is not filmed in the past two years, they will start filming next year and the year after tomorrow, so if I want to get a complete Marvel, I have to do it now, and the more trouble I go on. ”

"Do you think it's time for comic movies to rise?"

"The current special effects technology is actually very good, it is nothing more than a big risk, a lot of money, a lot of risk, if you want to succeed in the comic movie, you must increase the intensity of special effects production, although it is very expensive and time-consuming, but there is still something to do. If I buy Marvel, I will start the filming of "Iron Man" and "Deadpool", the special effects of these two superhero movies are relatively not difficult, the two films should be able to be shot for 300 million US dollars, and when the movie is released in 2 years, the box office should be able to explode. ”

"It's too risky, or you young people dare to think and dare to do it, then I will wish you a movie that is a big hit, and when the time comes, you must invite me to the movie premiere! Marvel can stand up again, which is what I want to see." ”

"That's certain!" Cang Yaozu solemnly promised that although Perelman didn't know much about the comic industry, he did want Marvel's stock price to rise, but he only knew how to use financial means to do it, but the effect was not good. But Cang Yaozu thinks that Marvel will definitely be able to come back to life in his hands, you must know that Marvel has thousands of superheroes, these are very valuable content.

Cang Yaozu and Perelman smoked cigars together, chatting about some Marvel and investment topics, although the old guy is rich, he is still energetic and ambitious. Cang Yaozu also hopes to have a good relationship with Perelman, a local snake, and there will definitely be overlaps in some acquisitions in the future.

Waiting for Cang Yaozu to return to the hotel, he took a comfortable bath first, New York is really both heaven and hell, this place is indeed very magical.

Today's harvest is good, not only did the $50 million not be spent, but another $450 million had to be collected. It seems that I still need to know a few more rich people.

But Karl Icahn is not good, that guy is very good at making money, and the average annual income is 30%, so doesn't it mean that he tosses and earns more, then it is estimated that he has no interest in investing in private equity funds, this guy should not be underestimated, not to be underestimated.

In the next two days, while asking people to help him contact the candidates for poaching, Cang Yaozu walked around the metropolis of New York, the World Trade Center Twin Towers, the Statue of Liberty, and Cang Yaozu all looked at them one by one, especially the Twin Towers, and there was one less time to see it.

If you want to say that the lantern classmates, that was once the loyal little brother of Citigroup, all the skills were taught by the people of Citigroup, and now the people of the Lamp family are still doing business in Citigroup, well, after the 911 incident, the family of Lalan was also sent out of the country as a gift, this is really, how can it be backfired.

These things have little to do with Cang Yaozu, and Cang Yaozu naturally doesn't care too much about them, and soon, Ge Liqin sent a message to Cang Yaozu, and Robert Iger got in touch, and he promised to meet Cang Yaozu. Well, it's good to be able to meet.

Cang Yaozu began to clean himself up, this meeting is very important, we must snatch this guy from Disney, Cang Yaozu admires this future Disney helmsman.

"Jingle bells, jingle bells. Cang Yaozu's phone rang, this broken phone, Cang Yaozu didn't bother to clean it up, and he hasn't even changed the ringtone until now.
