Marvel's boss?

Yin Jun smiled and shook his head: "It's not that they are willing to bear this loss. On the contrary, they really want to make money from this company. But we can't be too hurrying, otherwise it's a trivial matter for them to want more money. The problem is that if they discover Marvel's huge potential and don't want to buy it, it would be bad!"

The current Marvel boss is also its founder Martin Goodman.

But Martin Goodman is already in his 70s and has long been in charge of the company's affairs and the power of the company is in the hands of his children.

These young people...well, we can't say they are young. They are not very interested in comic companies. What they are interested in is just making money or not.

If Marvel is not very profitable, they don’t like it very much. When they encounter a suitable price, they are naturally willing to sell it directly.

Then they can use the money to do what they like to do.

Historically, this year and next year, Henry Peden will buy Marvel from his children.

Yin Jun didn't know the price, but a few years later, in 1989, Ren Peden would play a trick.

He sold Marvel to himself.

In other words, the price of reselling from his joint-stock company to him is US$85 million.

At that time, this price was hailed as a sky-high price.

Ren Pedern originally thought of making a big profit with Marvel, but in the next few years, Marvel was getting worse and worse. He filed for bankruptcy in 1996, which disappointed Ren Pedern, which was considered a failure in investment.

He didn't insist, and he wouldn't increase his investment in Marvel, because this person was a speculator and didn't know how to run other industries other than his business.

Therefore, during the years he took over, Marvel was very miserable, many of his work stopped, and many heroes were sold.

It's a good Marvel Universe that I can't get it all until 2020.

Therefore, from the things in later generations, Yin Jun is sure that Martin Goodman's children are willing to sell Marvel.

But the problem is, how much is the right price and how they sell it.

Yin Jun entrusts Corauti to do both the negotiations between DC Comics and Marvel.

He explained to the two companies from the beginning that Yin Jun wanted to buy a comic company, not necessarily DC, nor Marvel.

Yin Jun will buy whoever is suitable.

Therefore, they know the competition between each other.

However, the operating conditions of DC Comics are very bad, and Marvel is in better condition, so they are in different moods.

Especially the behemoth of DC Comics, Warner Group, is on top of the head, who determine the fate of DC Comics, rather than a group of editors and editors of DC Comics.

Marvel only manages it itself, so they can do things as they wish.

Although DC Comics is in trouble, its value is still not comparable to Marvel.

Compared to the two super popular heroes, Superman and Batman, Marvel's Spider-Man is still not enough to watch.

They have no way to compare whether it is market value or influence.

Therefore, from the beginning, Coruti only offered them a purchase price of US$50 million.

Of course, Martin Goodman's children are unwilling to do so. Martin Goodman is the largest shareholder. As long as they disagree, Marvel will not be able to sell it.

Then they kept talking, talking, talking about 70 million US dollars and were willing to bear the high remuneration contracts from a group of authors, but they were still a little hesitant.

Especially after the North American branch of Kirin Group announced that it had successfully acquired DC Comics, they became even more unstable.

Collaudi told Yin Jun some time ago that in fact, Rain Pedern also took action, and he was asking about the possibility of Marvel's sale.

It's funny to say.

I don't know why in my previous life, Ren Pedern wanted to buy Marvel.

But in this life, it was because Ren Pedern saw that the North American branch of Kirin Group was talking about the acquisition of DC Comics and Marvel.

He knew that Yin Jun was a very smart person and had a vision that ordinary people could not.

Therefore, when Yin Jun almost acquired DC Comics, he immediately took action to acquire Marvel.

Goldman Sachs is deeply rooted in the United States and can easily know Ren Peden’s bid.

His price was only $50 million, but he could retain 10% of the shares of the Martin Goodman family, which gave Martin Goodman and his children an extra thought.

Originally, as long as Yin Jun also paid 70 million US dollars and 10% of the shares, they could defend, but Coruti understood that Yin Jun was very controlling, and as long as it was the company he wanted, it was impossible to share it with others.

Only those companies he owns will not care about so many.

So Collaudi has been biting the current conditions and has not relaxed, so it is very common for Martin Goodman and his children to sway and make things difficult for him.

It is very common to have a business in the United States, and it takes a year or two or even more.

For example, DC Comics, when they were in the most difficult time in 1984, they had already started negotiations. As a result, it was not until the summer vacation of 1985 that "Batman 2" completely failed, that Warner broke off his last thoughts and threw DC Comics to the North American branch of Kirin Group.

Therefore, Corouti was not in a hurry, and Ren Pedern was not in a hurry.

Everyone is old foxes, so of course it is impossible to bid for each other, which makes the Martin Goodman family take a big advantage.

Only after listening to Yin Jun's detailed explanation did Ye Lin Qinwa understand the inside story.

After all, many things will not appear directly on the archives.

Before the acquisition was completed, most of the contacts between Coruti and Yin Jun were telephone.

Only when the acquisition is completed will Klautie send such a series of actions and processes, including the twists and turns of the intermediate negotiations, send them to Kirin Group in the form of an archive memorandum.

Of course, Ye Linqinwa is not qualified to help Yin Jun talk about these things, so it is normal for her not to know.

"So how will they behave?" Ye Linqinwa asked with a frown, "It won't be that we have negotiated for so long, but in the end, Ren Peden won the opportunity to take advantage of it, right?"

"Won't."

Yin Jun shook his head, "Ren Peden's conditions are not better than ours, and even if they are moved, they will definitely ask us if we are willing to continue to follow up. You must know that the strength of our Kirin Group is definitely much stronger than that of hisRen Pedenlai."

Ren Pedern has two gambling hotels in Las Vegas, worth more than US$2 billion, of which his personal shares also exceed US$1 billion.

Moreover, although this kind of business is harmful to nature, it makes a lot of money, and on average it will bring them more than 100 million US dollars in profits every year.

For Ren Pedern, 50 million US dollars is just a year of net profit, but he spends a lot of money throughout the year, as well as other investments, etc., so overall it is not very rich.

Yin Jun is different. Everyone knew that his assets were close to $50 billion, and now Forbes magazine has listed his assets to $60 billion.

Marvel is such a richest man in the world, and he is simply an idiot if he doesn't ask for his final offer.

"I see."

Ye Linqinwa suddenly realized, "The reason why you don't want to write a script to shoot is because you don't want Marvel and Ren Peden to see that hero movies can still be so good and profitable, which will affect your acquisition plan, right?"

"Smart!" Yin Jun gave a thumbs up.

"But write a script, then shoot it, and then do special effects, at least it will take more than a year, right?" Ye Linqinwa said, "This will not be delayed at all. Can't we talk about Marvel for more than a year?"

"That's right, but in order to be more secure, I think I can put it on for the time being, and it won't affect too much in the short term." The boy smiled, "Anyway, the DC is already like this, at most it will lose another 20 to 30 million US dollars, which I can afford."

Ye Linqinwa didn't agree with Yin Jun's overly cautiousness, but she also understood that for people with status like Yin Jun, the most important thing is to be stable, not make money first.

But then Ye Linqinwa asked with some concern: "If we buy Marvel and DC, we will be the only one in the United States. Then will there be any obstacles in the United States and the main residence?"

"Of course not." Yin Jun answered very affirmatively.

The DC company in his previous life wanted to sell it to Marvel in 1984, but Marvel looked down on the DC company that had already set sun, so he flatly refused.

Since this happens, it proves that the merger of the two companies is feasible.

Besides, Yin Jun has been in the United States in recent years, and as many as 6 participants have a close relationship with the North American branch of Kirin Group, and the annual expenses in these areas exceed 100 million US dollars.

Le Yiling is a very stingy little woman, but she didn't hesitate about this matter at all. After listening to Yin Jun's advice, she just spent money directly.

Those beautiful men were really conquered by money.

With the help of these people, the merger of Marvel and DC, even if there are some twists and turns, there will be no major problems.

Ye Linqinwa knew Yin Jun’s ability and knew that he would not speak vernacularly. Being sure is being sure.

Thinking of this young man, he turned to acquire the two largest comic companies in the United States, and the world's largest comic company it already owns, Ye Linqinwa didn't feel that she was filled with emotion.

"In the future, people will become Jun Jun and you have created a comics kingdom!" She said to Yin Jun.

"Haha, not bad! I like this title!" Yin Jun laughed unconsciously.

Comics Kingdom?

Of course yes!

Ye Linqinwa doesn't know the meaning of Marvel and DC.

Or almost everyone doesn't know.

After 2000, special effects technology will continue to develop rapidly. When those mythological scenes that could only exist in paintings can be displayed in front of the audience through the movie screen, they will be a real audio-visual feast.

In addition, the global demand for entertainment and culture has increased, and superhero movies that cost more than one billion or even more than two billion US dollars in the world are really dazzling.

Those comic companies that are old have gained new life.

With such expectations for the future, not to mention losing tens of millions of dollars, even if it loses 700 million to 800 million US dollars, Yin Jun doesn’t have to care at all.

As long as Marvel is acquired, Yin Jun will immediately take out three or five scripts and let them plan and prepare at the same time.

With computer special effects technology developed earlier than in the previous life and better financial support than in the previous life, maybe the first real special effects hero movie will appear about ten years ahead of schedule!
