Chapter 499 confrontation
Seeing that the other party did not lose his temper because of his anger, Andy decided to acquire Marvel Entertainment. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart that these old foxes were so easy to fool. He originally wanted to arouse Ike's anger and make him feel ashamed. Go back to escalate the internal strife and fight Kevin Page directly, so that Marvel's conflicts could be completely intensified.
It seems that there is little hope now, and this eo may not have that great courage to break up with that old guy Stanley.
"The 1980s was the golden age when DC and Warner dominated the comic-adapted film market. The sequels of "Batman" and "Superman" were released one after another, and the stars came one after another.
However, Marvel could only watch his old enemy DC and follow Warner to enjoy the good and delicious food, holding a large number of copyrights in his hand but not having a new home. He finally sold the copyright but no one was willing to take it on it for a long time.
Your soul character Stan Lee is even more ambitious and permanently based in Hollywood. "Doctor Strange" in 1978 and "Hulk" in 1990 were all made into TV movies, and "Captain America" in 1979 went directly to the home video market. "The Soldiers from Heaven" in 1986 starred "Howard Duck" in the Easter Egg of "Guardians of the Galaxy". The film turned out to be the second film released by Marvel since the release of the 1944 version of "Captain America".
In 1994, "Fantastic Four" had to hurry up and produce a low-cost science fiction B-level film because the copyright of Constantine Pictures expired. In the end, the film, like other Marvel movies, did not even get the chance to be released in theaters.
Entering the new century, you can only watch the big sale of X-Men. The box office of "Spider-Man" can only share a little pitiful copyright fee. You are unbalanced and waste your time in court time and time again."
Andy's ability to remember everything was revealed at this moment, and he began to speak clearly at the right time with his speech, making Ike's face look even more ugly.
"Haha..." Ike laughed in anger, looking at Andy Smith, who did not show any demeanor, stabbed his heart with sharp arrows, and couldn't help but sneer: "You said this just to tell me how failed Marvel is, but so what? Our IP copyright is still the most valuable. Young man, your tricks are useless, suppress the price...haha."
Ike shook his head and smiled, his lips curled up, with a hint of mockery. Andy was a little tender in the way of business negotiations.
Andy was not unhappy, but smiled and spread his hands, shrugged and said, "Yes, if it weren't for the value of copyright IP, I wouldn't have wasted time here."
Andy's words made Ike grit his teeth in anger, but the next paragraph made Ike lose his momentum and fall into silence.
"Hollywood has an unwritten rule to treat subculture "de-originalization". Producers are often jingo Jewish tall, rich and handsome, so they will not study the fans' willingness to watch movies.
Especially for Marvel, looking at the appearance of "Daughter, Fantastic Four", "Ghost Rider" being changed by producers, the world view of "Spider-Man" and "X-Men" is becoming more and more distant from their own ideas.
You must want to take the dominance of the shooting, but unfortunately you have no money. Next, you will bet on the copyright mortgage loan and gamble. Everyone will be happy if you win. If you lose, you will need another ten years to hide in the corner and struggle to death. You shareholders can only get moldy with the resources you think are extremely precious.
With an investment of over 100 million US dollars, the filming dominance, haha. The problem is that your board of directors is nothing more than just involved in the affairs of the movie! I would like to ask you, why have you shaken the Hollywood landscape that has long been mainstreamed by comedy, action, science fiction, and romance films!"
Andy looked at Ike, who had a little decay on his face in front of him, and couldn't help but curl his lips. If he didn't suppress the other party's arrogance, he couldn't spend less money on his acquisition. He also sinisterly dug a deep pit and waited for the other party in front.
Kevin Page will inevitably ask to mortgage the copyright of superheroes again to make a loan to make movies, and take the path of self-production and sales. What Andy hopes is to make Ike, the largest individual shareholder and the group's CEO, preconceived belief that this method is a desperate gambling, which is gambled with the interests of their shareholders.
When it comes to interests, these shareholders will never compromise. Even if they compromise, they will continue to fight for the right to speak. Without the fight, why can Andy Smith acquire Marvel at a suitable price and arrive in the new Marvel as a savior?
Fight, I support you!
Andy silently said to Eke, who had a dark face in his heart.
"Young man, even if what you said makes sense, don't you still want to acquire Marvel? It's just a matter of price. These can be discussed slowly. I'm just curious. Since you have studied so thoroughly, do you have a way to solve these problems?"
Andy couldn't help but curl her lips. The old guy still didn't forget to dig a hole for himself and wanted to trap him. He laughed at all, so he didn't say anything, but calmly and confidently stretched out his finger and pointed at his head.
“It has created five billion dollars in value!”
Ike's eyes narrowed slightly and he smiled brightly, "Mr. Smith, I have to admire you. You are a very powerful young man. I have a deep affection for Marvel. I hope it will grow in my hands from the day I sat on EO. Unfortunately... can I call you Andy?"
Seeing Andy nodding his hands with a smile, he looked like he didn't care at all, and then said, "Andy, if you really want to acquire Marvel, I can help you collect shares on the board of directors, but I have a request, don't kick me out, otherwise, I don't think you will succeed."
"Haha, you're too worried. Not to mention whether to acquire or not. Even if I finally decided to acquire, it will be successful. Except for that annoying ambitious, I think there will be no changes in Marvel's personnel. Of course, the strategic layout is here!"
Andy laughed and pointed at his head.
Ike also knew that the boy in front of him was not easy to fool, "Then, you can always disclose how much money you were going to buy Marvel."
"Well, I can say, $2 billion."
"no, no." Before Andy could finish his words, Ike shook his head and said with a laugh: "This price is not attractive at all. You should know that Marvel does not only have two businesses, including comics and movies, toy manufacturing, various peripherals, and sales networks. These groups formed by many subsidiaries cannot be taken away by $2 billion."
Andy pretended to be indifferent and spread his hands and said, "So, I finally gave up at the suggestion of the think tank. I was worried that you lions would speak out, as well as the future profit strategy and the huge problems within you."
"Haha, if the price is not agreed, you can negotiate slowly. You will always find a price that both parties can accept. There is one more thing, I want to ask, have you ever thought about Stan Lee?"
"Haha, Stan Lee is old. I think he has no interest in power. The reason why he supports Kevin Page now is nothing more than seeing the hope of Marvel's rise from some of Kevin Page's ideas. However, can Kevin Page compare with my strategic layout?"
Andy showed strong confidence and momentum, and the impression he had left on people that he had never failed, was extremely persuasive, and even Ike couldn't help but nod in agreement.
OK, Ike couldn't help but smile bitterly, Damn, who knows what strategic layout you have?
However, looking at Andy Smith's success stories along the way, it seems that he will not talk nonsense and entertain him.
"I will confirm your acquisition issues at the board of directors, help you collect shares, and then you can enter the negotiation stage and find a price that everyone can accept. What do you think?"
Hearing Ike talking to himself, Andy couldn't help but shake his head and laugh. He was about to continue fooling me, but was interrupted by Ike and said, "Everyone is smart, don't use some off-market tricks. To be honest, for an unlisted company, the shares are too scattered and inefficient, I have long realized this problem. Unfortunately, I don't have that much capital to complete the acquisition. Your appearance may be a chance for Marvel to rise. I am willing to help you, see Marvel's pain in my lifetime!"
