After buying Marvel, I became the king of Hollywood

In the development of these years, Marvel has had glory. At its peak, it was even more brilliant than DC at that time. It almost acquired classic IPs such as Batman and Superman.

Just because of antitrust reasons.

Marvel's attempt to make DC disappear by acquiring DC's classic IP failed.

As a result, DC fell into the hands of Warner and became brilliant again, while Marvel gradually declined due to the tide of development of the times.

Ronald Perelman has felt this wave even more since the advent of the Internet age.

People don't like to read comics anymore, whether it's Marvel or DC or other comic companies, the sales of comics are plummeting.

Unlike DC, which has Warner as the backstage, Marvel has far less IP influence than DC, so far no film company is willing to spend a lot of money to buy it.

At most, they focus on a certain IP of Marvel.

But Ronald Perelman knew that once he sold the valuable IP, the remaining ones that were not well-known would be lost.

Therefore, his request is to package and sell, which is not recognized by all film companies.

The problem is stuck here.

Ronald Perelman himself tried to use Marvel's well-known IP to make TV movies, but unfortunately he lost money.

After all, he is a complete layman in film and television.

Up to now, he just wants to quickly find someone to sell Marvel.

Get rid of this big burden.

At this time, one of his employees took the initiative to report to him that Steve Kevin was very interested in Marvel.

This can't help but make him think.

The name of Steve Kevin can be described as thunderous.

Even if he is a pure businessman, he has understood this person from various angles.

In today's Hollywood, the famous big directors, although they still lack awards qualifications, but from the perspective of commercial films, he is not inferior to those big directors who have been famous for a long time.

It is also the major shareholder of MGM among the eight major film companies in Hollywood.

It also has a very high status in Hollywood.

What is he doing with him?

Ronald Perelman had completely forgotten that Kevin had come to him two years ago.

At this time, in the office, thinking alone.

Chapter 99 Business Negotiations

"Boom boom boom!"

"Come in!"

Ronald Perelman straightened his appearance before letting the knocker in.

The blond female secretary with a curvaceous figure walked in, winked at Ronald Perelman, and then got down to business.

"Boss, the big Hollywood director Steve Kevin, said he has something to discuss with you. Should he bring it to the office or the reception room?"

Ronald Perelman pondered for a moment, and said:

"Take him to the reception room first, and I'll be there later."

The female secretary nodded and went to make arrangements.

Ronald Perelman carefully adjusted his appearance, and then walked slowly towards the reception room.

.......

Staring at the buttocks of the female secretary who was bending over to pour him iced coffee, Kevin couldn't move his eyes.

Recently, the kidneys are a bit strong. Helen and Emma are no longer under his words. He is forced to call out what a good brother and father are. It can be said to be a manly man.

Seeing a woman, especially a beautiful woman, is a little bit ready to move.

Wait for the secretary to leave.

Kevin just breathed out, good guy, the cheats of Chinatown are really powerful, and it is powerful enough when paired with Changbaishan old ginseng.

He felt that he had returned to his peak state, and now he could hold on no matter how much.

He swelled.

But I have to say, this Ronald Perelman can play.

If this kind of female secretary said that he hadn't touched her, Kevin wouldn't believe it.

It can only be said that the man's thoughts are consistent enough.

The door was pushed open and Ronald Perelman walked in.

Seeing Steve Kevin's appearance, he couldn't help feeling a little inferior.

He is also a billionaire, but Steve Kevin, while rich, is also as handsome as a star.

This somewhat made him, a short, rich and ugly man, a little uncomfortable.

However, as a businessman, he can easily overcome such a little discomfort.

"Hi, Director Steve Kevin, I'm Ronald Perelman, the boss of Marvel Entertainment."

"Hello, Boss Perelman."

After some simple exchanges, Kevin directly put forward his intention of coming.

"I want to buy your Marvel shares."

"Oh?"

Ronald Perelman was overjoyed when he heard Kevin's intention, but his instinct as a businessman told him that he should keep a low profile at this time.

Can't show joy.

Otherwise, it is not easy to quote a high price.

Ronald Perelman's expression didn't change at all, as if he didn't hear Kevin's words, he gently picked up the coffee on the table and took a sip.

At the same time, take this opportunity to think about how to make a shot, but at the same time not let Kevin see that he is eager to make a shot.

On the other side, watching Ronald Perelman's actions, Kevin smiled inwardly.

The spy and his knowledge of Marvel in his previous life let him know that there was already a big problem with Marvel's funding at this time.

Therefore, all Ronald Perelman's performance seems to him to be fake.

A move for Ronald Perelman is a sure bet, the only question is the price.

Ronald Perelman definitely wants to sell more, and Kevin wants to sell less.

Marvel's current situation, he can actually buy it for a maximum of [-] million.

But the reason why he has to prepare [-] to [-] million is naturally because Marvel's current situation is too bad. Once it takes over, it will need a lot of funds to operate.

Whether it's the salaries of company personnel, the cost of comic printing, or the opening of the Marvel universe.

Each of these requires a huge amount of money.

More than 1 million US dollars is also stretched, and it is definitely the best to spend less.

After taking a sip of coffee, Ronald Perelman thought about something, and said without any haste:

"The current financial situation of Marvel is good, why should I sell? Director Kevin, stop joking."

Kevin muttered silently in his heart, add money.

Ronald Perelman's hints were all too obvious.

What is financial health?

They are all reduced to selling copyright.

Thinking of the X-Men and Fantastic Four who were sold to Fox in 93, Kevin felt distressed.

Forget about the Fantastic Four, although they are not small in popularity, they are nothing compared to the X-Men.

Such an X-Men was sold by Ronald Perelman for $260 million, and Kevin was heartbroken to death.

I don't know how much I will have to pay for getting it back in the future.

Thinking of this, Kevin gritted his teeth in his heart, if [-]th Century Fox insists on holding on to the X-Men and is unwilling to let him take it back.

He must resort to the ultimate means.

The Fantastic Four can be drawn to death in the comics, drawn as villains, to affect the value of this IP sideways.

The X-Men, too.

But these things will be discussed later, the top priority is to win Marvel.

Kevin raised his head, smiled, and directly exposed Ronald Perelman's details.

"Really?"

"Then, as far as I know, more than a year ago, Marvel's economy was very tight. Is it true that the X-Men and Fantastic Four were sold together for 600 million yuan to [-]th Century Fox?"

Speaking of this, Kevin felt distressed again.

He suddenly remembered that Deadpool actually belonged to the X-Men series.

Such a popular character, whose value is no less than that of the X-Men series itself, was packaged in the X-Men and sold for $260 million.

sold!

Ronald Perelman is such a cutie.

Ronald Perelman certainly didn't know about Kevin's mental activities.

Facing Kevin's straight truth, Ronald Perelman twitched his face, and then continued without embarrassment:

"Oh, you said that."

"It's been more than a year. Marvel's economy has slowed down a long time ago. Now the profitability is very good. I am planning to continue to increase investment to make the sales of Marvel comics reach a new high."

As a businessman, sometimes you just have to be tough.

Obviously there is a problem with the economy, but according to Ronald Perelman, Marvel is still thriving at this time.

At this point in the conversation, we have reached a dead end.

It seemed that Kevin did have a willingness to buy Marvel, and Ronald Perelman looked like he was up for sale at this time, waiting to kill Kevin hard.

At the same time, get rid of the big burden of Marvel.

Kevin looked cold, and directly quoted in his mouth:

"2000 million, buy 70% of Marvel shares in your hands."

"Impossible. I said that Marvel is not for sale. Now that it is developing well, how can I sell it?"

Kevin continued to raise the price.

"Two hundred and fifty million."

"Director Kevin, I've already said that Marvel is not for sale, why do you force me?"

"..."

Chapter 100 Acquisition of Marvel

The two sides are coming and going, constantly seeing each other.

Ronald Perelman refused to let go of his mouth. Before the price did not satisfy him, he took every bite of a product that was not for sale.

But anyone could see that he was up for grabs.

Along with the negotiations, the price slowly increased, when the price was reported to [-] million US dollars.

Ronald Perelman finally let go.

"Three hundred million dollars, I can consider it."

This amount has already reached the standard in Ronald Perelman's heart.
