Entertainment: Acquisition Of Marvel At The Beginning, Winning The Widow Sister

Although Ding Shuo's character is strong, he is not the kind of person who does not let his subordinates talk.

Even if the people under his command said something, he might not listen to it.

But I am also willing to give them a chance to express their opinions.

Although Ding Shuo's character is strong, he is not the kind of person who does not let his subordinates talk.

Even if the people under his command said something, he might not listen to it.

After all, in the next decade or so, he might be able to take advantage of the advantages brought about by his rebirth.

Have a clear judgment and a clear understanding of the future development trend.

But after 23 years, he no longer has this advantage.

At that time, it was easy to be trapped in the 'information island', which led to wrong decision-making.

Therefore, Ding Shuo intends to develop the habit of letting the "underlings" speak from the initial stage.

Therefore, not only did he not get angry at Wendis' remonstrance with the meaning of "disrupting the stage", but he praised his actions.

"Wendis, I am very satisfied with your cautious and steady character!"

"If you had come to Marvel earlier, the company wouldn't have been losing money year after year!"

This evaluation made Wendis, who was already nervous, feel relieved.

He also admired Ding Shuo more and more in his heart. He has achieved such achievements at a young age, but he is not arrogant or impetuous, and he can still listen to other people's words.

This job-hopping is definitely the right choice. With such a boss, the future is absolutely boundless.

Ding Shuo continued: "Wendis, I can understand your concerns, and I am very clear."

"However, 'Iron Man' plays a key role in my 'Avengers' project."

"It was the first of 'Avengers,' so it had to be an instant hit."

"So, it is necessary to invest heavily in it!"

"At the same time, Iron Man's popularity can support such a large investment!"

"You just need to check it well and let the money be spent where it should be spent!"

Ding Shuo knows very well that the rich and handsome Iron Man raked in 585 million at the global box office after its release.

It also started the "Avengers" project and became a major contributor to the $20 billion box office of the Marvel series.

In the original time and space, Iron Man was an investment of 140 million US dollars.

He only has an extra ten million dollars in investment now.

And it is also preparation, put this money on publicity.

Let's see if we can make the total box office exceed 600 million U.S. dollars and become another level of existence.

After talking about Iron Man, Ding Shuo's expression became serious again, and he talked about an important matter.

"In addition, regarding the superhero IPs leased and sold by Marvel, we have to deal with them again."

"These superhero IPs are Marvel's priceless treasures."

"Sold out for a variety of reasons, now it's time to bring them home!"

Ding Shuo is very clear that the future development trend of Hollywood movies will be dominated by movies adapted from popular IPs.

It can be said that superhero has completely occupied Hollywood's summer vacation time.

Over the years, Marvel has successively rented or sold superhero IPs, including the rights to adapt classic characters such as Fantastic Four, X-Men, Daredevil, and Green Titan.

For example, the adaptation rights of X-Men were sold to Twentieth Century Fox, and the adaptation rights of Spider-man were finally sold to Sony after a lawsuit.

Since Ding Shuo acquired Marvel, he naturally intends to take back the 'superheroIP' that should belong to Marvel.

There's a joke in Hollywood that since "Spider-man" and "Iron Man" hit, what kind of movie is the easiest to make money in?

Any lawnmower in Beverly Hills can tell you - go get a comic book hero movie!

And "Spider-man" is just released by Marvel...

However, when the other people in the conference room heard Ding Shuo's words, they all looked at each other in dismay.

In the end, it was a veteran of Marvel, the high-level vice president, who bravely raised his hand to speak.

"Boss, I'm afraid it's not easy to do this. Even if I force it, I'm afraid I will have to pay more than one billion dollars in liquidated damages..."

Ding Shuo definitely can afford the one billion dollar liquidated damages.

I also think that spending one billion dollars to buy back such popular superhero IPs as "Spider-man", "X-Men", "Wolverine", and "Deadpool" is absolutely worth it.

But if you have money, you can't be taken advantage of. If you can get things done with less money, then spend as little money as possible.

So, Ding Shuo said: "Let the legal team start renegotiation with them, and drag them down with lawsuits!"

"Also, the production team is ready to reproduce the Ability of the sold superhero at any time."

"If they are tough to the end, then we will scrap the sold superhero and launch a new hero!"

"In a word, we can't shoot, and we absolutely can't let them shoot indiscriminately. At worst, we won't make any money."

"My bottom line is a liquidated damages of 500 million U.S. dollars, and take back all the superheroes who left!"

"If you can do what I ask, you will get a prize of 50 million dollars!"

"In addition, for every 100 million less liquidated damages, the bonus will increase by 20 million!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the conference room cheered up.

Nothing can boost morale like real money.

...

After Ding Shuo finished arranging all the important things, he directly announced the end of the meeting.

He also made an appointment with Davis to talk about the investment.

Now in 2006, it can be said that it is the last opportunity to invest in related fields in the first half of the Internet.

Some future giants are still in a low period.

For example, Microsoft, after experiencing the Internet economic bubble for about two thousand years.

The market value has been cut from more than 600 billion U.S. dollars at its peak to about 200 billion U.S. dollars now.

And after ten years, his market value will even exceed two trillion U.S. dollars.

Therefore, the return on investment is very high.

The one with a higher return on investment is Apple, the company with the world's largest market capitalization in the future, with a market capitalization of just over 60 billion U.S. dollars at the moment.

And Amazon, Google, etc., are also existences that can pick up big leaks.

Ding Shuo did not repay the loan pledged with the bank to pledge shares, so he still has 25 billion US dollars in his hand.

It looks like a lot, but in the face of this overwhelming opportunity, it seems a little insignificant.

Therefore, Ding Shuo is going to find Davis, the high-level vice president of JPMorgan Chase, to play a big deal again.

He clearly remembers that the price of gold was devalued because of the Fed printing money to save the market.

Under deflation, cash assets are the most safe-haven assets.

Therefore, the price of international gold futures fell from more than 930 US dollars per ounce to 730 US dollars per ounce in just a few days.

However, this downward trend will only last for two weeks.

After two weeks, the price of gold futures will skyrocket to more than $1,600 an ounce.

Moreover, this upward trend will last for three years, and finally break through $2,000 an ounce.

In other words, if Ding Shuo buys gold futures with all his net worth now, his net worth will more than double in two weeks.

At that time, technology companies including Microsoft and Apple were all affected by the financial tsunami.

The stock price will fall sharply.

It will be a good time for Ding Shuo to buy the bottom again!
