v2 Chapter 354: Acquisition of Marvel (Part 2)

After a while, Locke Sinier and others came to the conference room. ◢Follow◢Dream◢Small◢Say Щщш..lā

"Haha, Mr. Sinil, welcome!" Ron Pereman, Stan Lee and others stood up and greeted them.

"Hello, Mr. Ron Pereman," Rock Sinier looked at the people next to Ron Pereman and smiled. "Are these two Mr. Stan Lee and Mr. Jack Kobe? Hello, I'm glad to meet you!" Locke reached out and shook their hands.

"Hello, Mr. Locke Sinier, it's nice to meet you!" Jack Kobe and Stan Lee said in unison.

Ron Pereman felt a little upset when he saw that Locke Sinier was more enthusiastic about Stan Lee and Jack Kobe.

"Mr. Sinil, please here. Time is running out. Let's start the negotiation!" Ron Pereman took a step forward, stood in front of Stan Lee and Jack Kobe, and pointed to Locke Sinier. Refers to the row of seats on the right.

"Okay..." Locke Signor nodded, and led his team to the seat and sat down.

Rock Sinier turned his head to look at Ron Pereman and said faintly: "Mr. Pereman, your offer was a bit high last time. I don't know what your offer this time is?"

Ron Pereman became silent, when Stan Lee gave him a wink and reminded him not to be too greedy.

"Mr. Pereman, my team and I will return to Hollywood tomorrow. Therefore, we both give in to each other and it is best to reach an agreement!" After Rock Sinier finished speaking, he calmly picked up the table on the table. Unscrew the mineral water and take a sip.

"Of course, this is of course..." Ron Pereman nodded.

Locke Signor blinked. "So, what's your offer?"

Ron Pereman gritted his teeth and said: "60 million U.S. dollars, Locke Signor! I think this price, you should be acceptable... After all, Marvel is one of the two major comics giants in the United States. You should I know its value!"

"Yes, Mr. Pereman, we do know its value very well, but we know better that Marvel has more than 200 million US dollars in debt!" Locke Signor said lightly, "50 million US dollars, our Galaxy Film Company only Willing to bid $50 million to acquire Marvel!"

As soon as Locke Signor finished speaking, the conference room suddenly became silent.

Ron Pereman's face showed a tangled and unwilling complex watch, while Stan Lee frequently winked at him, making him immediately agree. Ron Pereman looked at Locke Signor and saw him look indifferent. He couldn't help but think of the recent news about Locke Signor and his party. Perhaps Galaxy Films would really wait for Marvel to go bankrupt. , And then come to buy. At that time, the court would auction off Marvel’s assets to repay debts, and the $200 million in debt had exceeded Marvel’s current market value. Even if all Marvel’s assets were auctioned off, he would not get a penny...

Ron Pereman thought about it carefully and thought, now that Marvel is in debt, there is no one other than Galaxy Films willing to buy. Now that it can sell 50 million US dollars, this is already very good. Ron Pereman raised his head and looked at Locke Sinier, "Mr. Sinier, we agree to the purchase price you offered!"

Rock Sinier couldn't help but smile when he heard the words, "Very good, Mr. Ron Pereman! Are there any other objections in this room? If not, we can sign a contract right away!"

"No objection..." Marvel shareholders shook their heads and said.

Rock Sinier nodded when he heard the words, and then looked at Ron Pereman. Ron Pereman said: "Okay, then we are ready to sign the contract now. I will ask the lawyer to draw up a contract for us!" He said, he beckoned to a middle-aged man in a suit and shoes, the middle-aged man He nodded to express his understanding, and then brought two men who were also lawyers to the computer and drafted a contract on the spot.

One hour later, the contract was finally formed under the discussion of both parties.

The lawyers of both parties checked and found that there was no problem, so they signed the contract on the spot. Galaxy Film Company purchased the shares of Marvel's major shareholders for $5,000, holding 75% of the shares. The shares held by ordinary shareholders on the stock market are not included. If Galaxy Films wants to fully own Marvel, it must delist Marvel from the stock market and forcibly acquire shares of ordinary shareholders!

Henry originally wanted Marvel to delist from the stock market. Naturally, after the successful acquisition of Marvel, he applied to the stock exchange for delisting.

Locke Sinier is still dealing with these things in New York, and Henry confessed to him: "Stan Lee and Marvel's main creators, you tell them that after Marvel completes the delisting, you can let them subscribe for 15% of the shares!"

"Understood." Locke Signor nodded.

The main creators of Marvel are all talents in the comics industry. Only when they subscribe for shares can they work in the company with peace of mind.

"Chairman, will Marvel go public in the future?" Locke Sinier asked. In fact, he was asking for the employees of Marvel. Stan Lee and others subscribed for shares. If the company does not make money, And if they are not listed, then subscribing to shares would be a waste of money, and they may not be willing.

Henry thought for a while and said, "It will be listed, but not in a short time. As everyone knows, how low Marvel’s stock price is, it’s useless to go public!! At the very least, we have to wait until Marvel generates huge commercial value. After that, I will choose to go public!"

"Okay, I see, then we are telling Stan Lee and others now." Locke Signor said.

"Yeah!" Henry answered faintly, and then hung up the phone.

Henry was in the office of the chairman of the Galaxy Film Company at the moment. He thought about it, then picked up the phone again and dialed Bobby Robin's cell phone.

"Come to my office!"

"Okay, Chairman, I will come right away."

After a while, Bobby Robin knocked on the door and came in.

"Chairman, are you looking for something to do with me?" Bobby Robin asked.

"Sit down," Henry said, "Marvel has got it, and the Marvel movie project can start! By the way, Marvel has sold a lot of heroes before. Have you sent someone to buy it?"

"Mr. Chairman, you mentioned it last time, and I immediately arranged manpower to take back these heroes. Marvel sold the Fantastic Four to Constantine Pictures. In 1992, Constantine Pictures wanted to keep the Fantastic Four. It took 25 days to shoot a bad film... This time, we spent $4 million to get back the copyright of the Fantastic Four. Then, we took back the "X-Men" from 21st Century Fox. "X-Men" was sold by Marvel to 21st Century Fox in 1994. When we asked to take back the copyright of "X-Men", 21st Century Fox made a request, but I didn’t think there was any problem and agreed. Otherwise they won't sell it to us!"

"What is the requirement of 21st Century Fox?"

"The first three films of "X-Men" allow 21st Century Fox to participate in investment, but the exercise rights and film copyright belong to us."

Henry thought for a while and said, "Well, there is no problem with this, you can agree. You can continue to talk about the buyback status of other heroes."

"Okay," Bobby Robin continued. "What's left are some heroes who are not very famous. We have successively recovered more than twenty!"

"What about the copyright of the Hulk and Spider-Man?" Henry asked ~lightnovelpub.net~ It shouldn't be sold..." Bobby Robin thought for a while and said with certainty, "I remember that, it should be Not sold! ! ! "

Henry heard the words and began to think. It seems that Marvel really didn't sell the copyright of Hulk and Spider-Man. As Henry remembered, Marvel only started selling superheroes after going bankrupt in 1996. It may be that time, the Hulk, Spider-Man and many other superheroes were sold... Henry couldn't help but be thankful, but fortunately he bought Marvel in advance, otherwise, taking back the hero would be a very troublesome thing.

In fact, Henry didn't guess wrong. After Marvel went bankrupt in 1996, the poor clinked, and they could only sell superheroes to tide over the difficulties. Universal bought the Hulk, and Sony bought Spider-Man. Spider-Man is the most popular hero in Marvel animation. Sony and Marvel have been talking about it since 1996. It was not until 1999 that Sony bought the movie rights of Spider-Man for $7 million.

But now, all popular heroes belong to Marvel.

Cool, all heroes have it!
