My 1999

"Helen, I have given you what you want. Where is what I want?" Xu Liang asked.

He has not forgotten that the other party came on the premise of helping him solve the acquisition of Universal Entertainment assets.

Helen smiled and said: "Dear Xu, you are such a heartless person."

"We are all the same, interests are more important than feelings." Xu Liang said directly.

"Hehe, actually I still like you very much, especially after what happened last night."

While he was talking, Helen came over and sat on his lap. Her slender white fingers drew circles on the man's chest, her beautiful eyes full of teasing.

Xu Liang naturally placed his hand on her thigh. It was moderately soft and felt very good.

"I take your word for it, but I'm more interested in my own interests right now."

"Okay. Do you remember the Minister of Commerce who came to the reception that day?"

"certainly."

This was the person he specially invited, so Xu Liang naturally remembered it deeply.

"He is my cousin."

Helen smiled.

Xu Liang raised his eyebrows, this was indeed good news.

The Department of Commerce, the Department of Justice and the U.S. Trade Commission are the three major obstacles to his acquisition of Global. If one of them cannot be overcome, the acquisition will fail.

Another point is that although they have benefited from it, the three major departments have not expressed their stance yet.

Obviously, when Hongmeng's acquisition of Universal Entertainment assets has a relatively large impact on public opinion, they are not willing to stand out.

If I can break through the Ministry of Commerce and let the other party express its position first, then the other two departments will follow the trend and pass it.

"Does he have any hobbies?" Xu Liang asked.

"Besides money and women, which all men love, he also loved playing golf."

Xu Liang nodded clearly, "You can make an appointment for me. Find a time and I'll invite him to play ball."

"OK, no problem. But if this happens, how will you reward me?"

"When Facebook is established, I will invest another $3 million in it on top of the original $1 million."

Christina on the side showed envy in her eyes.

It's a pity that she doesn't have such a family background.

Helen's left finger tapped Xu Liang's lips.

"You really didn't suffer at all."

Facebook owns 49% of Xu Liang’s shares and invested US$3 million in it, but it was also rotten in the pot.

Xu Liang smiled and said, "Facebook is our common cause. If it develops well, you can quickly become the top richest woman in the United States and even the world, and enjoy the respect of countless people."

Helen curled her lips inwardly. Although she was not very satisfied, her arms could not twist her thighs now.

"You have to help me then."

Xu Liang raised his hand and pinched the woman's chin.

"As long as you stay on your own terms, I won't hesitate to help you, whether it's money or connections."

Facing the man's deep eyes.

"I will prove with actions that people's hearts are full of you now, and they will be in the future."

As he spoke, he took Xu Liang's hand and placed it on his tall chest.

"I'll watch."

After patting her butt, Helen stood up obediently and walked to the side.

After finishing her off, Xu Liang turned his head.

"Christina, it's your turn."

"I have no doubt, I don't know much about the Internet. Although I have read Twitter's plan, many problems are superficial.

Therefore, it is better to ask when you encounter problems during the development process. "

"Smart choice. Twitter's shares are the same as Facebook's, and we also need to sign a supplementary agreement." Xu Liangdao.

"Um."

Christina nodded simply.

She doesn't have Helen's family background, so she still obeys Xu Liang's advice.

Only by obeying can you get more resources.

"Okay, I've said everything that needs to be said. You go back and study the documents in your hands. Tomorrow you go to register the company.

Within a week, I want to see the company open.

Also, there is too much attention on me now and there are many enemies. Before the two companies have grown up, once they are aware of it, you will have many more competitors.

To avoid trouble, I won't be able to help you much with the management of the two companies for at least a year. "

The two of them nodded obediently.

They all knew about the conflict between Xu Liang and Ellison.

"Finally, for your safety, I have found some bodyguards for you."

Xu Liang took out his cell phone and called.

"Let them in."

Not long after, the door was pushed open.

Four men and four women, eight muscular figures walked in under the leadership of Lu Hui.

"BOSS."

The eight people said respectfully.

Xu Liang smiled and nodded, "The eight of you are divided into two groups, and you will follow them from now on."

Eight people answered again.

"With them here, I can rest assured of your safety."

Christina and Helen are both smart people.

Of course they know what the hidden meaning of protection means. Although they are a little reluctant in their hearts, they don't have the bargaining capital yet.

After Xu Liang gave some final instructions, he let them leave.

Looking at the retreating figure, a faint smile appeared on his face.

I thought that eating these two women would cause a lot of trouble, especially Helen. Now it seems that although there is trouble, the price is not as high as imagined.

And if you operate it well, it may bring you huge benefits.

Facebook and Twitter, even if they don't succeed in the end, will definitely bring in a lot of dollars.

If one succeeds, you will make a lot of money.

It is said that pigs can take off even if they stand on the wind. Both Christina and Helen have Ivy League master's degrees and have abilities beyond ordinary people. Coupled with the funds they provide and the knowledge they gained in their previous life, they have a high probability of success.

Although it may not be comparable to Facebook's peak period, it is a high probability that the market value will exceed tens of billions.

"Do I have some weird quirk that makes me like to encourage the women around me to start their own businesses?"

Jiang Xiaoyang, Qiao Yuhui, the Sun sisters, and even An Kaiyue, under his instigation, opened Sixi Tower to Magic City and Yangcheng.

The women around him, except Futian Xinmei and Mo Maniang who was still studying, all had a lot of things to take care of.

"From now on, people will probably call me the man behind successful women, haha!"

After laughing to himself for a while, Xu Liang took out his mobile phone and looked at it. He returned to his desk and turned on his computer to start his day's work.

As soon as I opened it I received some good news.

Marvel acquired Captain America, Black Panther, Black Widow, Deadpool, Iron Fist, Ant-Man, Punisher, Humanoid, and Morbius from Artisan Entertainment for US$12 million in cash. A Marvel copyright.

As for Universal, I won’t use it for the time being.

When the acquisition by Universal Entertainment is completed, the rights to "The Incredible Hulk" will be returned.

Kevin Feige obviously knew this and didn't mention Universal, but he tentatively asked about the comic adaptation.

There was a trace of thought on Xu Liang's face.

After the acquisition by Marvel, it is impossible to wait until 2008 to start the first "Iron Man" of the Marvel Universe plan, as was the case in history.

Moreover, "The Incredible Hulk" has been released this year, and the box office result is only a little over 245 million US dollars. Compared with the production cost of 137 million US dollars, plus publicity and distribution expenses and sharing, it is obviously a lot of losses.

But the foundation of the Marvel Universe was finally laid.

If you wait any longer, like Marvel did in history, you will be tricked by the Hulk again when 2008 begins.

I took out my phone and called. It rang for a while and was quickly connected.

"BOSS."

"Kevin, the Artisan Entertainment acquisition has been done well."

"Thank you, this is what I should do."

Xu Liang smiled, "What are your thoughts on the movie adaptation of Marvel IP?"

"BOSS, I want to officially start the second movie of the 'Marvel Universe Movie Project'."

After returning from the last meeting, Kevin Feige submitted a "Marvel Universe Filming Plan" to him. The first film was "The Hulk", which Universal had already produced but failed.

"Which one do you want to film?"

""iron Man"."

After secretly saying "Sure enough", "Why "Iron Man"? Captain America and Thor seem to be more popular, and we have also taken back the copyright?"

“There are mainly three reasons.

First, although Iron Man is a "billionaire", he is also a real "ordinary person".

And the story takes place right next to the audience - contemporary New York. Compared with the "World War II background" of "Captain America" ​​and the "mythological background" of "Thor", "Iron Man" has become the one with the most familiar background. . "

Xu Liang understood what he meant.

It can be summed up in three words: "sense of immersion".

Everyone knows that Thor and Captain America are unrealistic, but technological heroes like Iron Man are possible.

"Second, the identities of "Captain America" ​​and "Thor" determine that there cannot be too many "fashion" elements in their first movie, especially "Captain America", which is destined to be just one A "retro movie".

And Iron Man has a lot of "popular elements" - handsome guys, luxury cars, and beautiful women. These eternal "popular elements" are not lacking in Iron Man, plus the "cool" armor, they are all part of the movie. "eye-catching". "

This is also easy to understand.

From the moment currency was born, the pursuit of a wealthy life has been engraved in everyone's bones.

Iron Man's wealthy and luxurious life is obviously more attractive than the miserable Captain America and the hapless Thor.

Third, surroundings. Marvel's finances are not very optimistic. Compared with Captain America and Thor, the toy peripherals of "Iron Man" are the coolest and have the most variety, and can bring us richer returns. "

Although Xu Liang acquired Marvel through Hanhua and gave it a certain amount of funds, the money was not given directly, but in the form of loans.

The advantage of this is that it can reduce taxes in the future.

Especially corporate income tax.

After Xu Liang thought for a moment, he agreed with his judgment.

“What budget is needed?”

"It is estimated to be around US$100 million. The specific budget will take some time."

It's only 2003, not 2008. A budget of 100 million US dollars is already a super blockbuster. "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" and "Spider-Man" are similar.
