American Fortune Life

Ike Piermuth has been very unhappy for a while, yes, just all kinds of unpleasantness.

He can be regarded as saving the Marvel Entertainment Group and the fire. If it hadn't been for him and two other shareholders in 1996 to complete the counter-attack acquisition of Marvel, which filed for bankruptcy, Marvel still doesn't know what it will be split into. appearance.

In ten years, with careful management, various IP copyrights that were sold at a low price were recovered little by little. When filing for bankruptcy, those superheroes who were sold by the bankruptcy committee at the price of cabbage returned to the arms of Marvel again.

Unexpectedly, now that Marvel is finally relieved, the old guy Stan Lee has betrayed the board of directors, turned his back on Kevin Page, and fought against the group company.

Not to mention how aggrieved Ike is now, he also knows that if the Marvel Entertainment Group continues to develop well, Stan Lee, who is mostly in the coffin, is inseparable. This kind of tight management actually makes him unable to control Marvel. The film industry makes a part-time job slap in the face again and again.

To say that the thing he wants to do most now is to fire a self-righteous guy like Kevin Page. The problem is that he is very entangled. Kevin Page, who is supported by Stan Lee and the editor-in-chief of Marvel Comics, is not so easy to fire. Especially after Kevin Page finished recovering the IP rights of Iron Man and the IP copyrights of the core members of the Avengers such as Hulk, Thor, and Black Widow, it is even more difficult.

When Marvel's internal infighting was in full swing, a piece of news from Wall Street made Marvel Entertainment Group strangely calm down. Some people questioned, some were tempted, and more people were worried.

In the next few days, this news was constantly mentioned by interested people, and later it was reported by the media, causing an uproar.

Whether in the media industry or in the comics industry, fans of superheroes have begun to argue online.

Andy Smith, the new wealth myth, the upstart in the publishing industry wants to buy Marvel Entertainment Group, and Bank of America will support him throughout the acquisition.

The powerful combination of the two giants has allowed everyone to see the feasibility of things.

Don't say that you love this industry and the business of comics. In front of the beautiful knife, any persistence will appear pale and powerless.

The directors of Marvel Entertainment Group are also tired of the long quarrel every time they have a meeting, and tired of the half-dead struggle that Marvel has been unable to bring them huge profits for a long time. Someone wants to take over. , I hope to stand in the same camp and bite a piece of meat from this young rich man who has just received a huge amount of cash.

Just as these shareholders were dreaming and the old Marvel people represented by Stan Lee were worried, the news continued to be hot, but there was no follow-up. The news was still that news, but neither Andy Smith nor Bank of America seemed to be at all different Likely, no one contacted Marvel, let alone a huge acquisition.

As the days passed, some shareholders who wanted to get rid of their burdens and make a fortune couldn't sit still. If it wasn't for Ike, the largest individual shareholder, who suppressed everyone, someone would have come to the door.

For Andy, because there is no bridge to communicate, he will never escape the fate of being slaughtered if he takes the initiative to send it to the door. He will not be the one who takes advantage of it. The world economy is about to end. Now if he spends a huge amount of money. Buying Marvel is absolutely stupid.

And those shareholders who want to sell Marvel shares have no channel to communicate with Andy,

This is undoubtedly the main reason why the acquisition has remained in the rumor stage.

Well now, Ambassador Merkel's enthusiasm has built a bridge, but as the eo and largest individual shareholder of Marvel Group, he has become hesitant and tangled. He really wants Marvel to grow in his own hands, He still has a lot of affection for Marvel, but he is still a businessman first, and no one can take it lightly in the face of the huge amount of cash that can be obtained.

Under Merkel's introduction, Andy's expression was slightly surprised, and he held Ike's hand very unexpectedly and said, "Mr. Perlmutter, this is really surprising, I didn't expect to see you here."

"Hehe, I'm afraid Mr. Smith doesn't know, I'm Jewish too." Ike Piermuth had a smile on his face, but he couldn't calm down. and admiration.

Merkel laughed without losing the opportunity: "Recently, many newspapers have linked the two of you together, Andy, is that news true? There are many people outside now speculating about how much you are going to spend. Money to buy Marvel."

Standing side by side with Andy, Gal Gadot, who was a little restrained with a smile, looked up at Andy with a slightly stunned side face. As an Israeli, American culture is naturally not unfamiliar. Heroes are an important part of the ideological output of the United States. Who would not know about Spider-Man, Iron Man, Black Widow, and Captain America.

With a bright smile, Andy glanced at Gal Gadot, who had a stunned expression, and then looked at Merkel, chuckling lightly: "I had this idea, but unfortunately..."

As he spoke, he looked at Ike Pirmut and spread his hands, making a helpless expression, as if there was something unspeakable.

Ike Piermuth was still a little confused about whether to sell it or not. To be honest, he was still tempted. Who doesn't like US knives, especially for the rich man who invests most of his investment in the capital market. The current economic situation is a bit strange. .

This is how people are. When others say they want to buy something they have, they are very reluctant to give up, but they are concerned about economic interests. When others don’t buy it, they are even more depressed. It seems that their things have become worthless. Don't sell it in the first place.

"Hehe, what a pity? I think the value of Marvel Entertainment Group is beyond doubt, is it because of the price?" Merkel saw Ike's embarrassment and depression, and he also very much hoped to act as a bridge to facilitate, after all, this It will allow him to establish a friendship with both of them, and it will also leave a good reputation and a good impression in the upper class.

"Hehe, it's nothing, it's mainly because my think tank has evaluated Marvel, and I can't identify with Marvel's corporate culture. My personality is too strong. I have a plan. My subordinates need to implement it step by step according to the strategic layout. I hate unconventional subordinates. I am not good at business management, but I am willing to delegate power and trust my professional managers. I agree that professional things are left to professionals. people handle.

However, the interior of Marvel Entertainment is too complicated to form an effective management system, especially after I learned about the situation of Marvel Studios...hehe"

After Andy shrugged and spread his hands, he began to talk freely. He didn't care about saying some of his shortcomings. To put it bluntly, these words were all for Ike. Sure enough, when he mentioned Marvel Pictures, Ike Piermuth His face became extremely embarrassing and ugly, especially when he saw a sneer and disappointed look on Andy's mouth, he wanted to insert two sharp knives into his heart to make him feel uncomfortable and resentful.

The atmosphere immediately became cold. Andy held the empty wine glass in his hand and looked at Ike, who was facing the sinking water, and drank the red wine in the glass.

Seeing that the two of them needed some private space to talk, Merkel smiled and said to Gal Gadot, "Miss Gadot, it's almost time for the interview and photo shoot. Let's go over there. I'm sorry you two."

Gal Gadot is also a smart girl, Zhanyan smiled at Andy, then took Merkel's arm and left, leaving only Andy looking at Gadot's back and depressed Ike in the corner .

"It seems that Mr. Smith has a very clear understanding of the inside of our company, and I am more convinced that the acquisition rumors are true. I wonder what price Mr. Smith is going to offer?" As a smart Jewish businessman, Ike would not I believe Andy Smith will mock Marvel for no reason.

Andy was slightly surprised, the other party's straight to the point was beyond his expectations, but he would not admit that he wanted to acquire, and he would not naively think that a business could be made at a single price. Words can decide, just not the time!

Andy shook his head and smiled, shrugged and said, "I think you may be disappointed, Mr. Piermuth. I can't accept a group that can't even control its subsidiaries. If it was my company, no matter how capable professional managers would dare If he does anything beyond his professional bottom line, I will fire him regardless of the consequences, because I cannot accept careerists and betrayers without self-awareness!"

The expression on Ike Pilmut's face changed wildly, and the endless anger in his eyes and the trembling lips could be clearly seen.

Andy didn't care about the anger of the other party, but Ike was an old fox after all, and he quickly completed the control of his anger, calmed down his mood, became calm, and said meaningfully: "I am more sure that your ambition for the Marvel Group will surely win. !"

It is impossible for Ike to say that he is not angry at the mockery of the young man in front of him, but what the other party said is also true.

Although he did not know the Eastern proverb, praise and criticism are buyers, and cheers are idlers. This sentence, but the Jewish business acumen and business experience are the first in the world, and it is not difficult to see that Andy has a willingness to acquire Marvel.

Not working in Marvel, I don't know that the forces inside are wrong and complicated. Stan Lee, who has created most of the superheroes, is completely an old bastard who relies on the old and sells the old, but the people on the board of them dare not offend him.

After all, Dark Horse Comics was formed by a group of cartoonists who left Marvel Comics. It really pissed off the old guy. He brought people and superheroes to start anew, so I would really cry, even if he couldn't take away the IP copyright, Every time you want to use a superhero copyright, the trouble of finding the company is enough for the company to feel uncomfortable. ) Download Free Reader!!
