Akepiermuth walked towards the conference room with a cold face and firm steps. Wherever he passed, the employees pretended to bow their heads and were busy working.

Stan Lee's face turned pale, with complex anger and helplessness in his eyes. Things have completely gone out of his control. His friends and partners have already looked at it, and he, as the general consultant, does not have many shares, which is nothing more than to prevent Marvel's fate of being acquired.

The door of the conference room was pushed open, and there were already four people waiting inside. Seeing Stan Lee coming, several of them stood up to greet him. After all, the old man fought for Marvel all his life and deserved the respect of everyone.

After everyone sat down, Ike looked around for a week and said in a low voice: "You should see the newspaper this morning, right? I can tell you clearly that the things are what the report says, and I have decided to accept Andy Smith's acquisition intention and be willing to sell the shares. You all decide whether to sell the shares. If the shares that are willing to sell together exceed 50%, then we can start the negotiations."

The four shareholders looked at Stan Lee, who had his old faces flushed, and his eyes were full of anger.

"I have 21% of the shares in my hand and I can sell them. I wonder how much Andy Smith is going to bid?" a shareholder in his thirties pushed his glasses and asked without hesitation.

Ike saw the second generation of young people who inherited the original Laoyou Co., Ltd. and said without any emotional fluctuation: "Andy Smith initially decided to use 2 billion US dollars as acquisition funds..."

"This price is not good..."

“I can’t accept this offer either…”

"Quiet! I have rejected his offer, but from this offer, I believe everyone has also seen his sincerity. Our total assets of Marvel are about 2.3 billion. Andy Smith should be very clear that it is undoubtedly a range for the next negotiations. I will fight for the best interests for everyone, and it will definitely not be less than 2.3 billion."

Ike's words made several people nodded in agreement, and they all seriously considered it.

"Everyone should also notice that the financial market in the United States has been a bit weird recently. They are all smart people. Michael is young here. We have experienced this situation many times. When we can't see the market clearly, we need to prepare cash and wait and see. This is also the main reason why we old guys can stand firm.

Marvel has recovered now, and it can also bring you a generous reward for the efforts and persistence you have put in over the years!

If you have no objection, then you can sign a draft agreement to state the amount of shares you are willing to sell. I will negotiate on behalf of you. After the price is negotiated, I will notify you. After everyone agrees, the transaction can be completed."

After watching the other four shareholders take over the agreement, Stan Lee read it roughly. Only two shareholders who had worked together for many years nodded apologetically to him. The other two young people who inherited the property signed the agreement without any hesitation.

Holding a large company worth more than 2 billion yuan, there are so many IP copyrights, but I have never made a lot of money. Instead, I have to borrow money from banks again and again, and even lose money for several years, and I can't even get dividends. Why keep the shares of such a company? Talking about feelings? Don't be funny!

"Stan... Forget it, you definitely won't sell it. In this way, except for 6% of your hands, 94% of the shares have been decided to sell. That's it. Please wait for the news patiently!" Akepiermuth was also a little uncomfortable. Unexpectedly, everyone has no much nostalgia for the Marvel company.

Yes, no matter how many IP copyrights are, they can't be replaced by American dollars, that's still garbage.

For Andy, this is undoubtedly very beneficial. If you wait for the last year, the tall, rich and handsome Iron Man will be released and win 8.5 billion yuan in global box office before you want to acquire Marvel, you may not have to think about it if you don’t have 4 billion yuan.

And now, haha, the six major film companies are not interested in Marvel, but are only interested in being able to take over the copyrights of a few popular superheroes.

No one knows better who will dominate Hollywood movies in the future than Andy. They are all popular IP-adapted movies, and superheroes have completely dominated Hollywood's summer season.

In the future, Hollywood movies, simple action movies and science fiction movies have become a major trend of decline and are no longer a panacea that can guarantee box office.

Instead, superhero movies have begun to make efforts, and the founding of the country has almost become a kind of movie genre, mixing various forms such as action, adventure, fantasy, science fiction, love, etc., which can attract audiences to the greatest extent. And the most important point is that these superheroes need a broad fan base.

Generations of Americans and people from other countries influenced by American culture are potential consumer groups.

Of course, the most important thing is that computer digital imaging technology has taken over special effects production, Hollywood's film industry has been upgraded, and technology has begun an era that is comparable to creativity.

3d, imax, Dolby Atmos, and awesome action expression capture techniques can fully utilize the imaginative imagination in the comics.

It can be said that whoever holds IP copyright will be qualified to cut a piece of the biggest one on the Hollywood big cake for yourself.

If Andy successfully acquires Marvel, she can transform Marvel from an IP provider to an IP giant in the entire industry without any effort.

It is true that Tingfeng Entertainment Film Company is a new film company, but it started out with distribution and is no worse than any of the six major distribution capabilities.

In the 1980s, the US government lifted the restrictions of Hollywood film companies' antitrust laws, and instead encouraged the Six Majors to return to the era of controlling the entire industrial chain.

Unfortunately, the Six Majors found that even if they do not plan the entire industry, they will not affect their own interests at all. Instead, they can get rid of various huge expenses and build cinemas across the United States, and they have no interest in the government's expectations.

Industrial segmentation has instead allowed Hollywood film companies to grow faster. Otherwise, DreamWorks would not have risen rapidly in the gap between the six majors, almost becoming the seventh largest example.

However, Andy wanted to connect his industry and was slaughtered. Damn, Marvel was so skilled in digging pits and burying himself. Filling pits and then digging pits has always been Marvel's specialty.

Marvel reached an agreement with Paramount in 2005 to release 10 Marvel-produced movies in the next eight years.

Andy looked at the detailed information of Marvel that Eke Piermuth sent him to, and bursts of toothache.

He knew better than anyone else that before he traveled through time, "Captain America 3" was still filming, and "Avengers 2" ended with a global box office of 1.4 billion. This film is just the 10th film produced by Marvel.

The first phase of the Marvel Cinematic Universe exchanged a global box office of up to $400 million with 6 films for a total of $1 billion. The second phase is about to end and has already won more than $6 billion in box office.

Andy knows the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and the second phase will also include "Captain America 3 Civil War", "Avengers 3 Infinity War", and "Thor 3".

A big cake of nearly 9 billion, Andy said that nothing would be shared by Paramount, and if he didn't want to, he would have to spend money to eliminate disasters.

"What a fool!" Andy threw the documents in his hand on the desk, frowned and pinched his temples.

Although he was very irritable, Andy had no choice but to pick up the thrown away information and read it.

Andy acquired Marvel not only to use the character image of Marvel to create movies, but more importantly, the peripheral effects brought by the movies, especially toys and dolls.

A good peripheral development revenue may reach three times the box office revenue, which is almost a sure-fire deal for an influential character.

Before several "Spider-Man" big box office sales, even though there were many peripheral copyrights such as Spider-Man, Iron Man, X-Men, Thor, etc., the retail sales of authorized products were less than US$200 million.

This is also why Andy dares to shout so low.

But just a year later, in 2008, the Mutants and Spider-Baby became a series by the movies shot by Fox and Sony. After the release of Iron Man, the retail sales of Marvel's licensed products soared to $4 billion.

After the release of "Avengers", the amount reached US$6 billion.

After a year, the situation, capital and status will undergo earth-shaking changes. This is why Disney had to use 4.2 billion cash and shares to acquire Marvel in 2009. Converted to US dollars, Disney spent about 5.4 billion to complete the acquisition.

Andy's entry point for this time undoubtedly has a huge benefit, the price of 1996 was bargained and the dark period before dawn in 2007.

Andy likes Jack Ma's words very much, today will be cruel, tomorrow will be even more cruel, the day after tomorrow will be beautiful, but most people will die tomorrow night.

The person who is now acquired and kicked out by Andy is undoubtedly the one who died tomorrow!

Dongdong

"Please come in." Andy did not look up, but continued to look at the information in his hand.

"boss."

"Al, sit down first, what to drink, tell Tori, let her take it for you, I'll finish reading it soon, wait." Andy looked up at Alvetre, and then continued to read the information.

It took about five minutes before Andy put the documents back on the table and saw Al drinking slowly with his coffee.

"How is it? Does the think tank have any suggestions on some authorization documents and agreements signed by Marvel and other companies. Is there any room for action?"

Al put down his coffee cup, frowned, shook his head with a serious expression, and said, "It is almost impossible not to pay the price."

Andy couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head, and said helplessly, "Tell me."

"If the agreement with Paramount is to be breached, it will cost about $130 million. Spider-Man's copyright cannot be obtained, but you can continue to sue Sony Columbia, and you should be able to reach an agreement to increase the copyright share. As for fox's X-Men... there is no chance at all!"
