Reborn IT Giant

"It's not that I want to go back early, it's just that something unexpected happened. When Bill returned to the United States last time, I arranged two tasks for him. They are not going very smoothly at the moment, so it's not okay not to go back."

The mission Zheng Yan mentioned was not about the establishment of the venture capital department, but about Netscape and Longteng Entertainment.

Netscape is growing very fast, and it will start to show results in a few months. By then, Microsoft will naturally realize the crisis caused by Netscape. If Zheng Yan cannot complete the layout before then, he will not be able to realize his plan.

.

As for Longteng Entertainment, Zheng Yan had indeed planned to let go completely, but the sudden appearance of Iichiro Morita disrupted his plan and forced him to make some adjustments. This was the second task given to Bill.

The first task just didn't go smoothly, which was within Zheng Yan's tolerance, but something went wrong regarding Longteng Entertainment. Not only did there be no progress, but a large piece of the cake that Zheng Yan was optimistic about was eaten by others.

, this is unbearable.

When Zheng Yan talked with Bill Miller, neither Liu Wei nor Larry Ellison were present, so Liu Wei didn't know that the most important reason for Zheng Yan to return early this time was Long Teng, otherwise he would have been anxious.

.

"You don't have to look sad. Now that we are back, there is always a solution to the problem."

How did Liu Wei know that this matter might not be easy to solve, especially the issue about Long Teng. Originally, according to Zheng Yan's idea, as long as the plan was completed, Long Teng would have the capital to become a Hollywood giant. Although it is still possible,

But losses are certainly inevitable.

But Zheng Yan understood better that even if he told Liu Wei, he couldn't help. At most, he would just have one more person to worry about, so he didn't say anything. Liu Wei also saw that Zheng Yan was thinking about something, so he didn't say anything anymore.

Although the flight still lasted more than ten hours, because of the various supporting facilities and the fact that everyone had their own room to rest, no one found it too difficult. As for the idea of ​​Zheng Yan being co-sleeped, in

Despite the strong resistance of the four members of Enron, it still failed to materialize.

When the plane arrived in New York, the manor's butler Maury Walton had already brought him

People greeted her at the airport. A small truck was also specially driven for Zheng Ruoxue and her friends' ponies and pet dogs.

After returning to the manor, Zheng Ruoxue seemed extremely excited and full of curiosity about the castle she saw for the first time, so she took Liu Shiyu, Zheng Mingzhe and Li Zixuan to explore the castle. An Ran and others followed closely

Behind my butt, I was afraid that something might happen to the little ones.

Not long after, Bill Miller, who got the news, also rushed over, "Zheng Yan, I'm very sorry, you arranged a total of two tasks for me, but I didn't complete any of them, and I had to ask you to go there in person."

"Okay Bill, I originally planned to come back, but this time I just moved it a little ahead of schedule. Besides, this is not your area of ​​expertise, so I can't blame you. You'd better tell me the specific situation.

How will Marvel respond?"

Zheng Yan knows very well that in terms of normal investment understanding, Bill Miller has a talent that is difficult for ordinary people to match. However, if someone like Zheng Yan makes all kinds of investments with great imagination, he will become constrained and 100% of his talents will not be used.

Less than 10%.

Although Bill Miller did not complete Zheng Yan's instructions, he investigated various situations in great detail and said directly: "Most of Marvel's shareholders agreed to sell Marvel, but because the other party's asking price was too high, so I

I didn’t agree.”

"Actually, I think that if it is just to adapt comics into movies, we can directly buy out the film rights of the comics. According to my investigation, Marvel sold "X-Men" to 20th Century Fox Film Company, but it was only four years old.

Just a million dollars."

"Although the current market value of Marvel is still around US$100 million, its debts have exceeded US$200 million. According to Ron Perelman, if we want to acquire Marvel, we can only assume all its debts.

Make premium acquisitions.”

"In other words, for Marvel, which may go bankrupt at any time, we need to pay at least 300 million US dollars. With this money, we can buy the movie adaptation rights of any comic character we like."

"Marvel is no longer what it used to be. Ever since it was acquired by Ron Perelman five years ago,

In order to make money, he arbitrarily overextended the value of Marvel's peripherals and acquired various toy companies and small publishers, leaving Marvel with nothing but a pile of debt."

It was obvious that Bill Miller had no interest in acquiring Marvel. But he didn’t know that what Zheng Yan was optimistic about was precisely the surrounding value of Marvel’s heroes.

The current Marvel seems to be worthless, but as long as various movies adapted from Marvel heroes are released, the peripheral value of those heroes will be reflected again, and it will be ten times and hundreds of times higher than in the past.

If it were just the adaptation rights of the movie, Zheng Yan was confident that Long Teng could earn billions of dollars in profits. However, as long as the peripheral values ​​were added, this number would be expanded several times, or even more than ten times.

"Bill, let's not discuss whether Marvel is worth acquiring. Since Ron Perelman is Marvel's largest shareholder, you'd better tell me about this person."

Regardless of the past life or this life, Zheng Yan heard the name Ron Perelman for the first time. Moreover, Zheng Yan could see that Bill Miller had a low opinion of this man, and could even say he was disgusted. This was also the reason why Zheng Yan

Yan felt this emotion from Bill Miller for the first time.

"Ron Perelman? I don't have anything good to say about this guy. Let's put it this way, because of your original investment in the crude oil market and your investment in the Internet, you are called the God of Investment on Wall Street by some people.

Ron Perelman, if you give him a similar title, I think The Wolf of Wall Street suits him best."

"Presumably just by virtue of this title, you should know what kind of person he is. He has no other characteristics except greed, and he is greedy beyond your imagination."

"He started by acquiring companies. Almost all the companies that passed through his hands ended in bankruptcy, but he himself gained a lot of benefits from it. This is why I don't want to deal with him."

Hearing Bill Miller's comments about Ron Perelman, Zheng Yan couldn't help but find it funny. In Zheng Yan's memory, there was a movie called "The Wolf of Wall Street", and she never thought that Bill Miller would use this term.

On Ron Perelman.
