Chapter 2097： Comic kingdom

? Marvel's boss?

Yin Jun smiled and shook his head: "It's not that they are willing to carry this loss, on the contrary, they really want to make money by this company. But we can't be too hasty, otherwise they want more money It ’s a small thing. The problem is that if they discover the huge potential of Marvel and do n’t want to buy it, it ’s bad! "

The current Marvel boss is still its founder Martin Goodman.

But Martin Goodman is more than 70 years old, and has long ignored the company's affairs. The company's power has been in the hands of his children.

These young people ... well, they can't be said to be young anymore. They are not very interested in comic companies. They are only interested in making money but not making money.

Marvel doesn't make much money, they don't like it very much, and when they meet the right price, they are naturally willing to sell it directly.

Then they can use the money to do what they like.

Historically, this year and next year, casino tycoon Rain Pederne will buy Marvel from his children.

The price Yin Jun doesn't know, but in 1989, a few years later, Ren Peiden will play a trick.

He sold Marvel to himself.

That is to say, from his joint-stock company, it was resold to him personally at a price of $ 85 million.

At that time, this price was known as sky high.

Renn Pederen was originally thinking of making a fortune with Marvel. As a result, in the next few years, Marvel was getting worse. He actually filed for bankruptcy in 1996, which made Renn Pederen disappointed and considered an investment failure. Okay.

He did not insist on anything, let alone increase investment in Marvel, because this person was originally a speculator and did not know how to run other industries than his own.

Therefore, in those years when he came to power, Marvel was very miserable, many jobs stopped, and many heroes were sold.

There is no way to make a good Marvel Universe until 2020.

Therefore, from the things of later generations, Yin Jun is sure that Martin Goodman's children are willing to sell Marvel.

The question is, how much is the right price, and how do they sell?

Yin Jun entrusted the two negotiations between DC Comics and Marvel Corporation to Koloti.

He explained to the two companies from the beginning that Yin Jun wanted to buy a comic company, not necessarily dc or Marvel.

Whoever is suitable, Yin Jun will buy one.

So they know the competition between each other.

It's just that dc comics' business situation is very bad, Marvel's situation is a little better, so the urgency between them is different.

Especially at the head of dc comics is the behemoth of Warner Group, they determine the fate of dc comics, not a group of editors in chief of dc comics.

And Marvel only manages by themselves, so they can do things according to their wishes.

Don't look at the dc comics in trouble, but its value is still not comparable to Marvel.

Compared with the two super-popular heroes of Superman and Batman, a Marvel Spider-Man is not enough to watch.

Regardless of market value or influence, they have no way to compare.

Therefore, from the beginning, Koloti only offered them a purchase price of $ 50 million.

The children of Martin Goodman are of course reluctant. Martin Goodman is the largest shareholder. As long as they do not agree, Marvel will not be able to sell it.

After that, I talked all the time, talked about 70 million US dollars, and were willing to undertake a high-paying contract for a group of authors, but they were still a little hesitant.

Especially after the Kirin Group North America branch announced that it had successfully acquired dc comics, they became more uncertain.

Kolotti told Yin Jun some time ago, in fact, Ren Peiden also shot, he was inquiring about the possibility of Marvel's sale.

It's funny.

In the past life, I do n’t know what the reason is, Ryan Pedern wants to buy Marvel.

But in this life, it was because Ren Peiden saw that Kirin Group's North American branch was talking about the acquisition of DC Comics and Marvel.

He knew that Yin Jun was a brilliant man, and he also had a vision that ordinary people could not.

Therefore, seeing that Yin Jun almost immediately acquired the dc comics, he immediately categorically shot and wanted to acquire Marvel.

Goldman Sachs is deeply entrenched in the United States, and it's easy to know Renn Pederne's bid. 35xs

His price was only $ 50 million, but he could keep 10% of the Martin Goodman family, which made Martin Goodman and his children think a little more.

Originally, as long as Yin Jun also sold 70 million US dollars plus 10% of the shares, they can let them defend, but Koloti understands that Yin Jun has a very strong desire to control, as long as he is a company he wants It is impossible to share with others.

Only those companies he shares, he does not account so much.

So Krautti has been biting the current conditions without letting go, so Martin Goodman and his children are swaying and embarrassing, which is also very common.

It is common to talk about a business in the United States and spend a year or two or more.

For example, dc comics, since they were the most difficult in 1984, they have been negotiating. As a result, after the summer of 1985, "Batman 2" completely failed, Warner broke his last thought and took dc comics. It was dumped to the North American branch of Kirin Group.

Therefore, Corauti was not in a hurry, and Ren Pedern was not in a hurry.

Everyone is an old fox, of course it is impossible to bid on each other, so that the Martin Goodman family takes a big advantage.

After listening to Yin Jun's detailed explanation, Ye Linqinwa learned the inside story.

After all, many things will not appear directly on the file.

Before the acquisition was completed, Koloti and Yin Jun's contact was mostly by phone.

After the acquisition is completed, such a series of actions and processes, including the twists and turns of the intermediate negotiations, will be sent to the Kirin Group in the form of an archived memo.

Ye Linqinwa is certainly not qualified to help Yin Jun talk about these things, so it is normal for her not to know.

"So how will they behave?" Ye Linqinwa frowned and asked, "It wouldn't be that we negotiated for so long, and in the end, Brian Pedern took advantage of the loophole, then succeeded?"

"will not."

Yin Jun shook his head, "Ryan Pederne ’s conditions are not better than ours, and even if they are excited, they will definitely ask us here, if they are willing to continue to follow up. You must know that the strength of our Kirin Group is better than It's definitely too much to get him up from Rain Pederne. "

Rain Pederne has two bets on X hotels in Las Vegas, valued at more than 2 billion US dollars, of which his personal share of shares also exceeded 1 billion US dollars.

And although this kind of business is bad, but it makes a lot of money. On average, it will bring them more than 100 million US dollars in profits every year.

For Renn Pederne, $ 50 million is just a year's net profit, except that he spends a lot of money all year round, and has other investments, so overall it is not very rich.

Yin Jun is different. Everyone knew that his assets were close to US $ 50 billion. Now Forbes Magazine lists his assets to US $ 60 billion.

Such a richest man in the world, Marvel wanted to make a shot without asking him about his final offer, it was an idiot.

"I understand."

Ye Linqinwa suddenly realized, "The reason why you don't want to write a screen shot is because you don't want Marvel and Ren Pederen to see that the hero movie can be so good and so profitable, which affects your acquisition plan. right?"

"Smart!" Yin Jun gave a thumbs up.

"But a script was written, and then filmed, and then done special effects, at least more than a year to use it?" Ye Linqinwa said, "This will not delay at all, don't we talk about Marvel for more than a year? the company?"

"That's right, but for more insurance, I think it can be temporarily released, and it won't affect too much in the short term." The teenager laughed, "Anyway, dc has already done this, at most it is a loss of two or three. Tens of millions of dollars, I can afford it. "

Ye Linqinwa disagreed with being too cautious like Yin Jun, but she also understood that the most important thing for a person with a status like Yin Jun is stability, not what makes money first.

But then Ye Linqinwa asked with some concern: "If we buy Marvel and dc companies, we will be considered a big company in the United States. Will there be any obstacles in the United States?"

"Of course not." Yin Jun replied affirmatively.

The dc company of the previous life wanted to sell it to Marvel in 1984, but Marvel looked down on the dc company that had been sunset and categorically refused.

Since this is the case, it proves that the merger of the two companies is feasible.

Besides, Yin Jun has maintained several public relations companies in the United States in recent years. As many as 6 participants have close relations with the Kirin Group North American branch. The annual expenditure in these areas exceeds 100 million. US dollars.

Le Yiling is a very stingy little woman, but for this matter, she did not hesitate at all and listened to Yin Jun's suggestion, and directly smashed the money.

Those Yankees were really overwhelmed by money.

With the help of these people, the merger of Marvel and DC, even if there are some setbacks, there is no big problem.

Ye Linqinwa knew Yin Jun's ability, and knew that he wouldn't speak vernacular empty-mouthed, UU reading www.uukanshu. Com is sure to be sure.

Thinking of this young man, he was about to acquire two of the largest comic companies in the United States, plus the world's largest comic company, Ye Linqinwa felt emotionally.

"People will become Jun Shao in the future. You built a comic kingdom!" She said to Yin Jun.

"Haha, yes! I like this title!" Yin Jun smiled unconsciously.

Comic Kingdom?

Of course yeah!

Ye Linqinwa does not yet know the significance of Marvel and DC.

Or almost no one knows.

After 2000, special effects technology continued to develop at a high speed. When the mythological scenes that could only exist in the painting could be displayed in front of the audience through the movie screen, it was a real audiovisual feast.

Coupled with the increasing demand for entertainment culture around the world, the superhero movies that are at the box office of more than one billion or even two billion US dollars all over the world are really blinding everyone's eyes.

Those old-fashioned comic companies have thus gained a new life.

With such a future expectation, let alone a loss of tens of millions of dollars, even if it is a loss of 780 million dollars, Yin Jun doesn't care at all.

As long as Marvel is acquired, Yin Jun will immediately take out three or five scripts and let them plan and prepare at the same time.

With the computer special effects technology developed earlier than the previous life, with better financial support than the previous life, maybe the first real special effects hero movie will appear ten years in advance!

At that time, it was the time when the Kingdom of Manga officially started sailing!
