"Five hundred million US dollars? Hunter, Marvel is something we all worked hard to build together. There are hundreds of characters here. Even if one image is worth ten thousand dollars, it's still more than five hundred million US dollars, right? In addition, Captain America,
Spider-Man has tens of millions of fans, and each of them spends one hundred dollars to sell it for over one billion dollars. You actually said it would be sold for five hundred million dollars? No matter who sells it, I won’t sell it anyway!”
Another person waved his hand.
"No, I think that kid just likes heroes and has no other ideas. Otherwise, he wouldn't have proposed the new clause. As long as this new clause is written into the agreement, Shengtang will never force the acquisition.
Yes, this is beneficial to us!"
Obviously, after Liu Lang made it clear that he would not participate in the management of the other party, Marvel's shareholders were very supportive of this cooperation. After all, the annual dividend of the 2% of the shares was one million US dollars, which was simply in vain.
Even if Shengtang Company has the right of first refusal to acquire the money in the contract, they will basically not consider this matter, because in their view it is impossible to happen, as long as Marvel has so many
If the foundation of the company is still there, it will not reach the stage of bankruptcy.
Stan Lee saw that everyone agreed and said nothing. He shook his head slightly and said.
"Hey, everyone, it's my fault that the company has reached this stage! Peter, have you found the right candidate now?"
Stan Lee is one of the founders of Marvel, and has served as the company's chairman and CEO since 1972. Ten years have passed, and the glorious era of Marvel in the first few years has gradually become dull.
A few years later, there was a crisis. Comic book sales basically showed no growth, and even declined to a small extent. Stan Lee also did a lot of things, but the results were not ideal.
In fact, it’s not just Marvel, DC companies are also facing the same crisis.
There is no harm if there is no comparison. If Marvel and DC were still competing for the comic book market in the market, they would not think so. However, Shengtang Company came out and joined the market competition. Don't look at Shengtang Company as it only transforms.
King Kong is a brand, but with their songs and movies, King Kong's reputation has risen sharply. Transformers' popularity has also increased, and the image of Bumblebee has been added to "Toy Story".
Regardless of movies and songs, even Transformers comic books and models have a market share close to that of Marvel's heroes. In this form, if Marvel does not change, it is really hard to say whether it will go bankrupt in the future.
Already.
In just two years, Shengtang Company surpassed the business established by Marvel Company in more than 30 years. This huge gap strongly stimulated Marvel shareholders.
Therefore, Marvel shareholders began to search for a new leader a year ago, hoping to lead Marvel to get out of the quagmire and start anew.
"We inspected many people, including an investor named Perelman on Wall Street. We felt that he had a very good approach to business operations. This person was also very interested in the company. Stan, how about we spend the past two days
Meet him?"
the man asked.
"How old is this Perelman?"
Stan Lee asked.
"Not old, I am only thirty-eight years old this year, and I am in my prime!"
"It's great to be in the prime of life! Not only are you full of energy, but your mind is also flexible. Unlike us, who spend their whole lives doing comics and know nothing about other things. As Jimmy Liu said, today's times are different from the past. TV and movies are the
Mainstream, we are all laymen in this industry, only by bringing in young ideas can we rise again!"
Stan Li sighed repeatedly, and the others nodded frequently. They were all stimulated by Liu Lang and Shengtang.
It was their decision that allowed Marvel to go back to its "old ways."
Liu Lang's appearance changed many things, but this required his active intervention. His country has undergone tremendous changes because of him, and the benefits are immeasurable. There are also many companies that have changed their destiny because of Liu Lang's intervention.
In fact, Liu Lang has changed a lot of things. For example, Shengtang Company has released many songs that do not belong to this era. These songs are likely to change the destiny of many people and make more people like singing. There is also his
"Slam Dunk" triggered a basketball craze after its release in China. Perhaps more than ten years later, a large number of outstanding basketball players will appear. They may say: The reason why I became a basketball player is because I watched "Slam Dunk" when I was a child.
, it was this comic that made me embark on the path of becoming an athlete.
This world still follows the relationship of cause and effect. The appearance of Liu Lang, an "alien", has brought "cause" to the people and things around him, so what changes is his "effect". As Liu Lang's influence grows,
, then the things and scope that are changed are becoming more and more numerous and wider.
Many things have changed because of this, but those things that Liu Lang did not intervene in will still develop according to the inertia of the original history. For example, the stock market crash will still occur in the United States; the Challenger space shuttle in the United States will still crash; the Hubble Telescope will still malfunction after launch...
….
These things will not change just because someone appears, unless Liu Langsheng becomes an American in the United States.
Similarly, Marvel has also declined like in its previous life, and the man they are looking for named Perelman is the last "gravedigger" of Marvel. Under his "wise" leadership, Marvel
Marvel Comics went straight to bankruptcy, and finally had to sell off its properties. For Marvel, Perelman was a disaster, but for Liu Langlai
It is said that he is a "lucky star". Without his intervention, Shengtang's acquisition of Marvel may have taken longer, but in the long run, the merger of Marvel and Shengtang will definitely return to glory as in the previous life. It's just that
It's just a new boss. In their previous life, they were acquired by Disney, and they are destined to be unable to avoid this fate in this life.
Liu Lang gave Lucas and Lin Guodong face-to-face instructions, asking them to "help" Marvel at a critical moment and let them "die" faster. Perhaps the only change in Marvel in this life is that it was acquired by Shengtang faster.
The three of them stayed in a hotel not far away, accompanied by Ye Jinsheng, Chengxian, Cattermole and Lin Liwan. They all came to conduct a pre-IPO road show with Liu Lang, and Lin Liwan and her team also
Changes to the prospectus plan should be made at any time.
Just the next day, Stan Lee called and invited Liu Lang to return to Marvel. Marvel's board of directors approved the plan for both parties to participate in the company.
Liu Lang and Stan Lee signed the agreement on behalf of Shengtang and Marvel. The matter was settled, and Marvel's fate of being acquired by Shengtang was determined.
Lin Liwan and a group of people started to change the prospectus and re-apply to the stock exchange. These things would take three days, and these three days became Liu Lang's most leisure time.
