America's Road to Fame

Chapter 120 Marvel's Problem

于是陈威廉牢牢的记下了这个时间：2009年10月15日的14点35分，在这一刻，纽约黄金期货会达到三个月内的高点，1122美元每盎司。

Therefore, before this time, the gold futures held by Meta Investment Company will begin to close their positions.

Now William Chen lives in an apartment he rented in the Trump headquarters building. This apartment has an area of ​​about 235 square meters, has three bedrooms, and is luxuriously decorated. According to Ivanta, the current price is at More than 1500 million US dollars.

However, William Chen will definitely not buy real estate now, so he just rented this place as a love nest when he and Ivanta were dating. The company's Meta investment company is also in this building, so the two of them will stay here together without being discovered at all, um, perfect.

In this case, it would be much more convenient for William Chen to go to the company, just take the elevator down to the 35th floor.

After work, Chen William found John Paulson and asked about the current situation of gold futures.When the price of gold was around US$800 an ounce, Chen William left US$10 billion and used 3 times leverage to go long.

At present, the price of gold has just reached US$1000 per ounce, and the previous US$10 billion has become about US$17.5 billion.Well, the use of leverage can indeed greatly increase profits, but one thing is that people always have path dependence. When you get used to the pleasure of using leverage to make profits, when you give up leverage, it will be caused by a sudden drop in profits. Discomfort.

So when investing, I always want to add multiple leverage, more leverage, greed is endless, and when I encounter a black swan one day, I will suffer heavy losses in an instant, and even liquidate my funds. zero.

Therefore, at this time, William Chen reminded himself, think about the chaotic trend of gold prices during this period, hold back greed, and use leverage with caution.

Therefore, there is still one week before the 15th, and we will wait for the time to clear the position, and then sell short.It is definitely not possible to increase leverage at the moment, because William Chen only knows that the current price is about US$1000 per ounce, and it will reach US$1122 per ounce in a week, but what if there is a short-term pin in the middle?Are you looking for death if you add more leverage?

Only by knowing the highest price and the lowest price in a range, can it be safe to increase the leverage.

It's like when you know that you are a prince now and will be an emperor in the future, then during this period of time, you must focus on stability, live on, and not waste.Unless there is some accident or the father is on standby for a long time, and he feels that he may not live to succeed the day, he will make up his mind to do something.

On this day, Quan Zhixian also came to Meta Investment Company, contacted William Chen, signed a contract, and invested 3 million US dollars into Fund No. 500.

William Chen chatted with her for a while. Before leaving, Quan Zhixian said that he would be busy with the movie "Snow Flower and Secret Fan" recently. When the filming of this movie was finished, he would invite William Chen to play in South Korea when he had time. , Feel the characteristics there.

Uh, William Chen really wants to ask, are you serious?After all, he considers himself a serious person. If he is not serious, then... he really wants to try it.

Mainly because I heard that South Korea has retained a lot of buildings and clothing in the style of Huaguo and Ming Dynasty. As a good young man who likes to learn knowledge, he still wants to have a chance to see it, otherwise he is afraid that it will be renamed in the future, just like Hanfu Changed to H clothes, kimchi can be changed into something stupid Xinqi, the people over there are really stupid, thinking that changing the name will become their own, what is the difference between this and stealing the bell?
So it's no wonder that even the Japanese look down on Bangzi. Although the Japanese are bad, they really dare to bet on the fate of the country when things happen, and Bangzi will only make small moves secretly.

Just like in the contempt chain of criminals, robbers must look down on thieves.

……

Nelson found William Chen and talked to him about negotiating with Marvel.

He told William Chen that after negotiating with Marvel during this period, he had delayed as much as possible.

Now it seems that the other party has almost lost patience.If there is no result, they are likely to abandon the negotiation and instead mortgage their assets to complete the filming of the two films "Iron Man" and "Invincible Hulk".

William Chen also realized that their negotiations had been going on for a long time.

But the problem now is that all William Chen's funds have been invested in the securities market. Even if he can squeeze out a part of the money to complete the first step of investing in shares, he will have to wait until the gold futures are fully leveled a week later. The things after the operation of the warehouse.

According to Nielsen, the current valuation of Marvel is set at between 22-24 billion US dollars, and now Marvel urgently needs at least 1-1.5 million US dollars of funds to start their two films.

Among them, "Iron Man" is completely produced and distributed by Marvel itself, and "Invincible Hulk" has already sold part of the copyright, including distribution rights, to Universal Corporation. Therefore, independent films about the Hulk need to be produced by Universal Corporation. to issue.

Chen William knows that if the copyright of the Hulk cannot be reached with Universal, it will be very difficult to launch an independent film about the Hulk in the future.

Therefore, his previous plan was to reclaim Marvel's copyrights from companies that had purchased their superhero copyrights, including Universal, Twentieth Century Fox, and Sony Pictures, after acquiring Marvel.

Otherwise, after the launch of the Marvel Universe, it is easy to make wedding dresses for other companies.

Among them, Universal may already be the most likely choice, after all, they don't own many copyrights.

And like the copyright of the Spider-Man series in the hands of Sony Pictures, it will be very difficult to recover.

Because Sony Pictures has achieved great success through the "Spider-Man" trilogy movies, and they value this IP very much, it is almost impossible to recover the copyright of the Spider-Man series from them .

The greatest hope can only be to negotiate the agreement of Sony Pictures to allow Spider-Man to appear in the Avengers in the Marvel world.

And now the company that owns the most copyrights of Marvel characters is Twentieth Century Fox. They own the copyrights of all mutants, all Fantastic Four series characters, all characters of the Shia Empire, and all characters of the Skrulls. The number is very large, with more than 400 characters.

Therefore, it is extremely difficult to recover the copyrights of those superheroes from their hands.Unless the entire 21st Century Fox Company is acquired like Disney in Chen William's previous life.

But you must know that Disney spent more than 2019 billion U.S. dollars to acquire 21st Century Fox in 700, and it was also because Murdoch was too old at that time.

However, the acquisition at that time included many assets of 21st Century Fox, the parent company of 150th Century Fox. If only [-]th Century Fox was acquired, the valuation would not exceed [-] billion US dollars.

And if the 50th Century Fox film company is acquired at the moment, plus the impact of the tape crisis, it should be around 60-[-] billion US dollars.

After all, at this time, [-]th Century Fox hadn't produced many later mutant movies to form a mutant universe.

But there is another important question, that is whether Murdoch is willing to sell only the film company [-]th Century Fox alone now.

And if you want to buy it, you have to do it as soon as possible. After all, 28th Century Fox still has a trump card at this time, and that is the new film Truck Driver, which will be released next year. Avatar.

Once this movie is released and becomes a great success, Murdoch will definitely place high hopes on Twentieth Century Fox, which has made huge profits because of this, and will not give Chen William any chance of acquisition.

Unless he can call out a sky-high price at that time, and at the same time acquire some junk assets bundled and tied for sale, what he needs to pay at that time will not be a matter of billions of dollars, it is estimated that there will be no 300 to [-] billion dollars, Murdo Ke won't let up.

But if there is so much money, why does William Chen insist on buying Twentieth Century Fox?If they are used to invest in those Internet companies that are about to hit the limelight in the future, their rate of return will be much higher than those of these Hollywood film companies.
