Marvel was founded in 1939, during which it went through a lot of things.
During the experience of wind and rain, encountered numerous frustrations
However, a lot of interesting things have happened.
For example, Captain America was created in the 1940s, that is, during World War II, when the United States and Japan were at war. As a result, the captain of the United States in the cartoon crazy hand tearing devils, dry over the head of state, Japan will be severely trampled on the feet. For fear of Japan's retaliation, the mayor of New York even once listed Joe Simon and Jack Kobe as the key protection objects!
Another interesting thing is that one month before President Nixon was impeached because of the Watergate incident, Nixon in the cartoon actually "apologized for his death" in front of the captain of the United States, lying in the trough. This is too hanging, and he was not harmonious!
New York, marvel headquarters.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I want to tell you something very important. Just at three o'clock this afternoon, Galaxy film company called our company and said it would buy Marvel! " Stan Lee announced aloud.
When they heard the speech, they looked at each other, but no one spoke.
At this time, the door of the office was suddenly pushed open, but no one saw it, but the voice came: "ha ha, I didn't expect Galaxy film company to buy Marvel company. Hey, what else do you want? You must sell it, and you have to sell it at a good price!"
"Ron pereman, you've come very quickly!" Stan Lee said with a slight irony.
Ron pereman didn't care, and he was used to it. He went to the first place and sat down. He glanced at everyone and said in a loud voice, "marvel is going bankrupt. What are you thinking about. According to me, don't think about anything, just see how much money the other party can offer! Oh, by the way, Stan Lee, I'm in a hurry. I don't know much about specific things. I think you should be very clear. How much is Galaxy going to pay for marvel? "
Although Stan Lee didn't like Ron pereman, he was still a major shareholder. Stan Lee had to tell him: "buy Marvel for us $30 million and bear all the debts of marvel at the same time!"
"Only 30 million dollars?" Ron peleman frowned, discontented.
Stan Lee said coldly, "thanks to you, pereman, our debt is more than 200 million dollars!"
Ron peleman sniffed, embarrassed smile, "I'm also for the good of the company, who knows, how to become like this in the end..."
Stan Lee snorted coldly. Don't turn your head to him.
Ron Perelman went on to say, "I think we need more money. As you all know, galaxy has made a lot of money over the years. In this period of time, in just one month, the box office of "Titanic" exceeded one billion dollars. "
"Pereman, I have to remind you. Have you ever thought about Galaxy refusing to buy Marvel, then waiting for it to file for bankruptcy protection, and then buying it by auction from the court? Ha ha, at that time, you won't get a cent! " Said a man, about 60, sitting next to Stan Lee.
His name is Jack Kobe, and Stan Lee supports the whole Marvel company. The cooperation between Jack Kobe and Stan Lee gave birth to the "Marvel style screenwriting method" -- Stan Lee put forward the general idea and character positioning, then Jack Kobe drew a cartoon, Stan Lee was responsible for filling in the dialogue, and they worked together to create more than 80% of Marvel's classic characters!!!
Jack Kobe and Stan Lee are Marvel's top players. Ron pereman is really upset with Stan Lee and Jack Kobe because they always stop their actions. But because of their high position in Marvel, driving away anyone, Marvel's share price will fall wildly, so Ron pereman can only bear it.
"In any case, more is needed!" Ron Perelman still insisted, "I'm doing it for everyone's benefit. Don't you want to make more money?"
"Stan Lee, Ron pereman has a point!"
"That's right. I think Ron pereman has a point. If we sell more, we'll make more money!"
Stan Lee and Jack Kobe looked at each other, and there was a flash of helplessness. Their combined shares are less than 10%, and their voice is far from enough. Before the meeting, they had discussed that galaxy film company is powerful. If they buy Marvel, marvel company will come back to life and go to glory!
The two of them are most aware of the current situation of marvel, which can be said to be full of holes and big buildings are about to collapse. Faced with a huge debt of 200 million US dollars, marvel has to file for bankruptcy protection. Galaxy film's $30 million acquisition of marvel is obviously extremely generous. If you want to raise the price, I don't know if Galaxy film company is willing to buy Marvel
"Peleman, it's up to you to negotiate with Galaxy film company. If you say..." Stan Leighton said, "if your negotiation fails, then Marvel will have to file for bankruptcy protection. So, you must be careful!"
"Don't worry, there will be no problem with me!" Ron peleman is in charge.
……
The next day, a representative of Galaxy came to marvel.
Conference Room.
"Hello, Mr. Ron pereman. I'm Locke sinair, vice president of Galaxy pictures."
"Hello, rock sinail. Nice to meet you."
Ron pereman said, "you offered us a purchase price of $30 million yesterday, but, Mr. Locke sinail, don't you think the price is too low? Marvel is the largest cartoon company with a long history in the United States
"Well, Mr. Ron pereman, how much do you think galaxy should pay?" Asked Locke sinail.
Ron pereman laughed, put up a finger, and said, "100 million dollars!"
Locke sinail frowned and said, "Mr. pereman, you are really a lion. We Galaxy film company have to bear 200 million US dollars of debt, and we have to add another 100 million US dollars. Do you think this is appropriate?"
"Of course," pereman laughs. "If Galaxy acquired marvel, it would get thousands of Marvel heroes. You can make Marvel movies, and I'm sure you'll make it back soon. Ha ha, this is mutual benefit! Don't you think so, Mr. Locke sinail? "
"Mr. pereman, you think it's easy to make money, don't you? Don't you know how many movies are lost every year? Let's talk about Marvel's hero movies. Which movie has been successful so far? What's more, the comic hero movies are not prosperous at all, even the Bat Man movies of time warner are losing money. Therefore, we Galaxy film company took a great risk to acquire marvel! "
"Mr. sinal, you are Galaxy film company. You are very powerful. When did you make a loss movie. Besides, what's 100 million dollars worth to you? Titanic alone has made your company hundreds of millions of dollars. If it's a peripheral product, it's no problem to make a billion dollars! "
When Locke sinail heard this, he couldn't help sneering from the bottom of his heart. Ron peleman regarded Galaxy film company as a man with a lot of money
"Mr. pereman, it seems that we are not in a good position for the time being. In this way, we'll talk about it next time! " Said Locke sinail, rising and going out.
"Hey, sinail, how about $80 million!" Cried Ron pereman.
As if he didn't hear it, Locke sinail walked out of the conference room without stopping.
Soon, the news of the failure of the first round of negotiations spread.
Originally, it was said that galaxy film company was going to buy Marvel, and the stock price suddenly soared. However, as soon as the news of the failure of the negotiation came out, the stock price immediately fell.
Locke sinail stayed in a hotel in New York with his negotiation team and played around every day. Anyway, he didn't go to negotiate with Marvel company. During that time, he came into contact with several small and medium-sized cartoon companies from time to time. He had a good chat and was photographed by reporters.
At this time, I don't know where spread some gossip, "Galaxy film company does not intend to buy Marvel now, but wait for it to go bankrupt, and then buy it down!"
The news then appeared in major media newspapers, and Marvel's share price fell again and again.
Ron pereman contacted Locke sinail several times, but he refused to do so for various reasons.
On September 20, Ron perleman was in a hurry to get angry when a phone call came, "Mr. Ron perleman, we've made a reservation to fly back to Hollywood at 9 a.m. tomorrow. So we have only one negotiation this afternoon. "
"You're leaving tomorrow?" Ron pereman was stunned.
"Yes, Mr. pereman." "I hope we can get something out of our negotiation," Locke sinail said
With that, Locke sinail hung up.
Ron pereman fidgeted out a cigar, lit it and started smoking.
……
"Ron pereman, it's four o'clock in the afternoon. Why haven't they come yet?"
"Yes, if you don't come again, I'm afraid you won't come!"
Ron pereman said, "they said they would come in the afternoon. How can I know why they are not here yet?"
As soon as the words came out, a female secretary came in and said in a loud voice, "Mr. Ron pereman, Mr. Locke sinail, they have already arrived. Peggy is leading them up the stairs in the elevator!"
"Good, we got it!" Said Ron pereman in a loud voice.
"It's 10 minutes after 4 o'clock, Ron pereman. Please pay attention later. This negotiation must be completed, or we marvel will be bankrupt!" Stan Lee warned solemnly.
