Chapter 1063 Insatiable

   "Damn, this **** has spread the news of Envision Capital's acquisition of Marvel everywhere.

  Now the entire Hollywood companies, Disney, Fox, Sony, Universal, and Paramount have all come to join in the fun.

  Even Warner said that he is very interested in merging DC and Marvel! "

  Abel was pacing non-stop in Xia Jingxing's office, swearing non-stop, and greeted the eighteenth generations of Pamuth's ancestors.

  He suddenly raised his head and said solemnly: “Darren, I suggest that I withdraw from this deal immediately, so that the jew’s tricks cannot be allowed to succeed.

  The $3.2 billion offer is already a premium acquisition.

  The insatiable vampire is not yet satisfied, and wants to force us to raise the bid by bringing in more competitors.

  The six major Hollywood companies have all expressed interest in acquiring Marvel this time, which is very abnormal!

  If they are really interested, why are they still dragging it to this day? Marvel should have been earned in the last century.

  If I guess right, they want to join hands to bully us, the outsider who broke into their territory. "

  Xia Jingxing picked up the teacup on the table and gently blew the hot tea, "The analysis is good! It makes sense! But do you have to back down in the face of this difficulty? Is there a smooth acquisition war in this world?"

   Abel resentfully said: "The point is that it's not worth it! "Iron Man" hasn't been released yet, who knows whether their comic reform plan will succeed."

  Take a sip of tea, and gently put down the teacup, Xia Jingxing raised her head and said: "Once the movie is released, it may be another scene."

  "Daren, you are very optimistic about Marvel's movie plan?"

  Xia Jingxing said in a bad mood: "You are not talking nonsense, otherwise, why should I buy it? Selling toys or selling comics?"

   Abel settled his mind, and gradually recovered his calm, “If we continue to acquire Marvel, we can’t be led by the nose like this.”

   "Then do you have any good ideas?"

   "At the very least, we must express our attitude!"

  ……

  …………

  …………

   "Mr. Parmut and Mr. Fitch, the three-day period we agreed upon has arrived. It is time for you to answer us. Today I brought the legal and financial teams."

  In Marvel’s office, Abel smiled and looked at the Marvel executives sitting across from him.

  Pamut smiled and said, "Mr. Abel, why didn't Darren come?"

  "Dylan has already gone to Silicon Valley because of his busy business affairs. He entrusts me with full authority to take charge of this matter. Just answer me, Mr. Parmut."

  Pamut took a look at Abel, and asked in a questioning tone: "Can you represent Vision Capital?"

  Abel nodded slightly, "Yes."

  Pam nodded, and then sighed: "Your $3.2 billion offer is too low, and we cannot convince the board of directors to agree to the transaction."

   Abel constricted his smile and said lightly: "So, this is your final answer?"

  Pamut smiled and said: "Mr. Abel, please don't be angry, listen to me and finish!

  The board of directors is not my own board of directors. Although I know that you are very sincere, I am also very inclined to leave Marvel to your management.

  The board of directors unanimously believes that the real value of Marvel is 4 billion U.S. dollars, and the bid of Envision Capital is too low. If you are willing to increase the offer, I am sure to convince the board of directors to agree to the transaction. "

  Abelpi smiled and said: "No, 4 billion dollars! Shooting 20 movies, each of which makes a lot of money, can make so much.

  After all, we are just a PE fund, not a professional film company.

  Involving such a large amount of transactions, our investment risks and business risks are very high.

  Since we both cannot reach an agreement, we decided to withdraw from this transaction. "

  Hearing this, Kevin Fitch's face was full of shock.

  As Pamut’s attitude changed in the past three days, his mood was ups and downs like riding a roller coaster.

  He first rejected Vision Capital, and didn't want the other party to become the master of Marvel and disrupt his filming plan.

  When Envision Capital assumed an attitude of not bad money, he was shaken, and he was moved by the idea of ​​letting Envision Capital support him.

  When Vision Capital’s bid reached the psychological price set by Pamut, he basically accepted his fate.

  Two days ago, he also met Abel privately. The other party gave him a lot of promises to ensure that his management rights and creative rights in Marvel will not be shaken after Envision Capital takes over.

  At the same time, the other party also strongly expressed support for his "Marvel Universe" plan, and came up with a "10-year US$5 billion" filming budget, which looks pretty decent, not like a bad check.

  While he was still considering the benefits that Envision Capital might bring to Marvel and himself, Pamut suddenly announced that Marvel was about to sell, attracting the six major Hollywood companies to participate in the acquisition.

  In the past two days, he followed Pamut to meet and negotiate with various acquirers, which caused him to collapse.

  He can understand Parmut’s idea of ​​selling the company at a good price, but the other party’s profiteering approach makes him very uncomfortable.

  Obviously, the other party doesn’t care who they sell Marvel to or what will happen to Marvel in the future, only how much they can get.

  Kevin Fitch has completely put out the idea of ​​maintaining the company as it is, because this is simply unrealistic, and Pamut has been dazzled by the green dollar.

  If Pamut was still entangled in whether to wait for "Iron Man" to be released before selling the company, then he is no longer entangled at all.

  Because the two acquirers, Envision Capital and Disney, are very sincere, there is no need to care about the success of "Iron Man" at the box office.

  So, the sale of Marvel is basically a foregone conclusion.

  As a result, Kevin Fitch's thoughts have also completely changed. He is more inclined to introduce a buyer who recognizes and supports him to realize the Marvel Universe project.

  Vision Capital left him a good impression.

  But the other party is about to withdraw from the transaction now, do you want to go to Disney?

  Pamute looked at Abel’s expression carefully, and found that the other's eyes were a little angry. Could it be that he was stimulated by the tricks he had used these days?

   And Darren didn’t come in person today. Is he really angry? Or do you want to fight?

  Pamut is not willing to see Envision Capital exit the transaction, because every additional buyer has the possibility of selling at a high price.

   Without waiting for him to speak, Abel said goodbye, got up and left the table with someone.

   Seeing this, Parmut did not intend to stay, and quietly watched the group leave.

  Kevin Fitch wanted to stay aloud, but the big boss didn’t even speak. It is not appropriate for him to speak. What is his position?

  After Abel and his party left, Kevin Fitch asked, "What should I do next?"

   "Aren't there six major film companies? Just talk to them." Pamut said lightly, but he was not at peace in his heart.

  Kevin Fitch said: "But I feel that apart from Disney, the other five companies have little sincerity at all."

   "Never mind it, talk about it first!"

  Kevin Fitch nodded and stopped talking.

  …………

  …………

   "The 3.3 billion U.S. dollar is our final offer. I think in Hollywood, there should be no higher offer than ours!"

  The CEO of Disney, Robert Iger, sat opposite Pamut with a strong and firm tone.

"Yes, Pamut, Disney should be the best and most suitable buyer for Marvel. First of all, it can integrate the resources in Marvel's hands. Secondly, you can also choose to become a shareholder of Disney and share Marvel. Development dividend."

  Jobs dragged the sick body and persuaded his friends from the side.

  He and Parmut are also old friends. After he left Wisdom Fruit that year, he bought Lucas’ computer animation department and founded Picas Pictures.

  He does animation, and Pamute does manga/animation authorized toys. The two gradually developed from business partners to friends.

  The year before last, Pixar was acquired by Disney for US$7.4 billion, and Jobs became the largest individual shareholder and director of Disney’s 7.4% shareholding.

  Disney CEO Robert Iger has served as a director of the Wisdom Fruit Company, and has a lot of friendship with Jobs.

  Previous Marvel was acquired by Disney, Jobs played a certain role in it, and became a communication bridge between Pamut and Iger.

  But at that time, I didn’t jump out of a visionary capital.

  Pamute smiled faintly, “Steve, I’m older now and want to retire sooner, so I prefer cash.”

  Jobs understood the subtext and turned to look at Iger.

"Pamut, I can raise the offer by another 100 million US dollars, but the transaction between Disney and Marvel must be completed in the form of a share swap. Disney spends several billion US dollars in cash for the acquisition at a time, and shareholder resistance will be very high. , The stock price will also be greatly affected."

  Pamut sighed, "Then you are not as bold as Darren, but he paid in a lump sum, and all purchases were made in cash."

  Jobs sneered on the sidelines: "He doesn't understand movies at all. Apart from money, he can't bring any other resources to Marvel."

  Pamut smiled, but he was already cursing in his heart, I just want money! What resources, company brands, and equity are all sold out, it's my shit!

   "That's good, you give me a week, I need to convince the board of directors."

  Pamut repeated the same trick again, but his little trick was directly seen through by Iger.

  Aigby put out three fingers, "We are the same as Vision Capital, we only waited for three days."

   "Okay, three days is three days."

  The eyes of Iger and Jobs met, and they all felt that this guy was a little unreliable, giving people a feeling of insatiable greed.
