Chapter 607 Marvel is in hand (4000+ chapters, please subscribe~)

"It's not interesting, I just want to remind Mr. Perelman that self-confidence is good, but sometimes self-confidence cannot bring people victory!"

Wu Jianye sat there, except when Penny said something wrong just now, she always had a smile on her face.

Perelman looked at Wu Jianye without making a sound, and his wife Cohen, who was next to him, actually didn't say anything from the beginning to the end, but she was not just a vase, she had been observing Wu Jianye , to be honest, in North America, Wu Jianye has always been a man with an aura of fascination.

First became the best-selling author in North America with "Jurassic Park", and then created a very influential rock album "Born Out", becoming the most popular rock star in the world in those two years, but Wu Jian Ye did not develop in music at all, except for participating in a "Save a Life" concert, he never appeared in the music scene again.

Even the Grammy Awards Ceremony did not participate, and it is precisely because of this that the singer with the highest-selling music album that year did not win a single award at the Grammys.

Afterwards, Wu Jianye turned into a famous director in China, and won the laurel of the three major European film festivals. Now he has returned to North America and started directing mainstream North American films. He thought that this identity was enough to shock people, but he just He is also the behind-the-scenes boss of the largest media group in Southeast Asia.

All of this made many media people want to dig out the roots of Wu Jianye thoroughly. Today Perelman came to see Wu Jianye, and Cohen specifically asked him to accompany him.

As a columnist, Cohen's business acumen is not brilliant, and he doesn't understand why the words of Wu Jianye changed the face of Perelman, who has always been invincible in his mind.

Cohen doesn't understand, but it doesn't mean the rest of the people don't understand.

Especially Nick and Perelman, when they reached their level, they all knew that Wu Jianye would never be aimless in such a negotiation, that is to say, Wu Jianye must have his own reliance, and his reliance It must have reached some consistent behavior with Marvel's top management.

As Wu Jianye said, if Perelman really listed Marvel, if Marvel executives resigned collectively, it would be absolutely devastating for Marvel. hit.

Then everything Perelman does will end in failure. Not only will he not make much money on the Marvel project, but he will even lose a lot.

For Perelman, this is something that will never be allowed to happen.

"Mr. Perelman, the Phantom is inevitable for Marvel. We know that Mr. Perelman has always been very concerned about Revlon. If you can sell your Marvel to Phantom, wait until Revlon goes public. , Xiangjiang's Yaoguang Group can help Mr. Perelman open Revlon's market in Southeast Asia!"

The big stick was swung down, and all that was left was to give a sweet date.

Although many people are saying that Perelman is a dealer who wanders around the market with a calculator and resells, there is still one exception among the many companies that Perelman has acquired, and that is Revlon.

At the end of 1985, Perelman, with the support of Milken, bought the cosmetics company hostilely for $18 billion through junk bonds.

美容业在1974年至1984年间曾处于低谷时期。受国际美容品市场疲软的影响，露华浓公司的营业额也大幅下降了79％，1985年亏损2800万美元。

But Perelman sees soberly that the cosmetics industry has shown signs of recovery, and now is an excellent time to seize the market.

After becoming chairman of the company's board of directors, Perelman made drastic changes to the company's organizational structure.He sold most of Revlon's health-care divisions for $14 billion because they made little profit or even lost money.

Then, the affiliated institutions were reduced from 100 to 20.While vigorously reducing the production of health care products, Perelman regards the restoration of the beauty and cosmetics industry as the company's top priority, and fully resumes the development of new cosmetic products, while improving advertising and sales measures.

After undergoing a round of transformation, Revlon's business is thriving, with sales reaching $1987 billion in 24, a 1986% increase over 41.This undoubtedly became one of the examples of Perelman's successful mergers.

After patiently waiting for 11 years, Perelman took Revlon Packaging public in 1996. At that time, the company's total market value was 10.5 billion US dollars, and he held about 17% of the company's shares in his own hands.

However, in the 15 years since the company went public, Revlon's performance has been unsatisfactory.The company's share price fell to only single digits from a high of US$1998 in 55. Although the company's share price has risen to around US$14, the market value is only more than US$7 million.

During this period, although Perelman sold some of Revlon's assets, bringing the company $30 billion in revenue, he spent another $5 million to buy some new brands.But in the face of growing competition in the cosmetics industry, Perelman has come under increasing skepticism.However, Perelman remains stubbornly optimistic about Revlon's prospects.

"This is by far the most difficult transaction I have been involved in, but I still believe that Revlon has great value. This is the most exciting thing I have done in 20 years. It is an irreplaceable asset." Perelman Said so.

And the sweet date that Wu Jianye handed Perelman was Revlon. Relying on the influence of Yaoguang Group in Southeast Asia, if they really want to help Perelman, then the future development direction of Revlon is really uncertain. A situation in another time and space will arise.

After hearing this, Perelman’s eyes brightened. He knows the size of the Southeast Asian market better than anyone else, especially the rapid economic development of RB, Xiangjiang, Singapore, Wanwan and other places. He has already set his sights on it. market.

At this time, no one thought about what the future development of Marvel would be like. Marvel was just a simple investment for him, and there was no way to compare it with Revlon's position in his heart!

With big sticks and sweet dates, Perelman's attitude finally changed.

"I don't know how much the Phantom's price is here?"

Wu Jianye stretched out a finger and said with a smile: "One hundred million! Mr. Perelman can earn 1750 million US dollars in half a year, which is already a very good business!"

In the end, Perelman agreed to Wu Jianye's offer. As Wu Jianye said, earning $1750 million in half a year is already a very good result for Perelman's investment.

As for the 1.5 million U.S. dollars mentioned earlier, both parties knew that the price was impossible. After Penny said that, Perelman once thought that this price was okay, but after Wu Jianye swung After finishing the big stick and the sweet dates, he knew that this price was impossible.

And Wu Jianye was actually at a loss. In his mind, buying Marvel should be around 500 million, because of Penny's words, Phantom needs to pay 500 million more!

Thinking of this, Wu Jianye glanced at Penny, and the dissatisfaction in his heart became more and more intense.

After the two discussed the general direction, the dinner was almost finished. As for the specific details later, the negotiation teams of the two companies will conduct the negotiation.

Seeing that the two had finished talking, Nick smiled and said, "Since we've finished talking about the business, why don't we find a place to sit down again!"

Nick naturally knew the consequences of Penny's actions just now. Although he was not responsible for the cooperation between the Johnson family and Phantom Entertainment, it did involve the interests of his own family. In addition, Wu Jianye Others don't know about Phantom's status, but Nick knows it clearly, and he doesn't want any cracks in the cooperation between the two parties because of this matter.

Wu Jianye looked at the time and said, "Let's just sit and let it go. There are still many problems that the crew has to solve for tomorrow's filming. I need to go back and discuss with the crew in detail!"

After speaking, Wu Jianye stood up and shook hands with Perelman and others to bid farewell, but in the end he still ignored Penny, which made Penny even more angry. Even now, Penny still doesn't think she did anything wrong.

She wanted to say something, but was stopped by a look from Nick.

After Wu Jianye left, Perelman and Nick also shook hands and bid farewell.

Sitting in his own car, Perelman was in a complicated mood. For him, the confrontation with Wu Jianye was nothing but win-win, which also made his impression of Wu Jianye even deeper. .

Cohen asked with some incomprehension: "Before you came, didn't you say that the current value of Marvel is only about [-] million U.S. dollars? Now that it's sold at this price, it also has the opportunity to cooperate with Yaoguang Group. Why? Are you still not happy?"

Perelman sighed and said, "This Wu Jianye is not easy."

Cohen: "How?"

Perelman smiled bitterly, and said: "Before I came to the appointment, I really thought that as long as Marvel could sell 1000 million, it would be good, but what Penny said was enough to increase the value of Marvel by [-] million, but that Wu Jianye There was only a very short expression change, and then it immediately returned to normal, and even brought out some problems that I couldn't solve. If it weren't for Penny's words, it is estimated that Marvel would not be able to sell [-] million !"

"Aren't you worried that what Wu Jianye said before is false?" Cohen asked.

Perelman said with a chuckle: "No, this kind of thing is easy to investigate. If Phantom is really interested in Marvel, they won't lie about this kind of thing. This Wu Jianye is obviously Before meeting me, I already contacted Marvel. Do you still remember that the Phantom bought the copyrights of "Fantastic Four" and "Spider-Man"? This already shows that they are bound to win Marvel, and Wu Jianye can tell in advance that all these things are arranged."

At this point, Perelman cried and laughed again: "Now I believe that the news from Xiangjiang is true!"

Cohen nodded and said nothing more, but she had already thought about the content of her column.

Perelman lamented Wu Jianye's thoughtfulness, while Nick reprimanded Penny.

"Although you usually do some outrageous things, you rarely make mistakes in the business world. Why did you make such a big mistake today? Do you know what kind of situation your words will make Wu Jianye's negotiations fall into? What's the situation? If he hadn't planned ahead, today's negotiation might be messed up by your words!"

Penny has always been a fearless person, but she has always respected Nick very much. Now that she saw Nick reprimanding herself so severely, she felt wronged and said, "Who made that Wu Jianye always angry? And me?"

"If you can't even distinguish between personal grievances and family interests, I doubt your ability in the future!" Nick did not forgive Penny.

"Brother, I know I was wrong, and I won't do it again!" Penny quickly admitted her mistake, not wanting to quarrel with Nick.

"It's useless to tell me these things, you still think about how to explain it to grandpa!" Nick said.

"Grandpa? Why do you have to explain to grandpa?" Penny asked. If there is anyone in the family that scares Penny the most, then it must be her grandpa. Although Old Johnson seems to love him very much, as long as he Made a mistake, and the punishment is unambiguous. Grandpa loved Daniel so much before, didn't he hang him up and beat him?
"In the future, you should have less contact with Wu Jianye. I found that as long as it involves his affairs, your brain is not enough!" Nick said mercilessly.

"You mean that Wu Jianye will tell Grandpa about this!" Penny's voice became worried.

Just as he finished speaking, Penny's phone rang.

Nick glanced at her and said, "Go ahead, it must be Grandpa's call!"

Penny answered the phone with an ugly face, and her voice became coquettish: "Grandpa, is that you?"

"Go back to Los Angeles immediately!" Old Johnson's powerful voice came from the phone!

Penny's face drooped, and she said, "Got it!"

Old Johnson knew about this matter, of course it was Wu Jianye who told him. This time, Phantom bought Marvel because of Penny's words, which made Phantom spend 500 million more. Because of the cooperation between the two parties, Wu Jianye If there is no way to deal with Penny directly, then find someone who can deal with Penny.

After returning to the hotel, Wu Jianye put aside the matter of 500 million yuan, and the joy in his heart was revealed. Being able to successfully win Marvel, for Wu Jianye, at least guaranteed that after entering the millennium, Phantom Entertainment would have own core competitiveness.

Different from another time and space, after the acquisition of Marvel now, plus the copyrights of "Spider-Man" and "Fantastic Four" purchased earlier, the development of the Marvel universe will be more comfortable, and the entire universe will be developed by then. The IP value of the Marvel Universe is comparable to the IP value of "Star Wars".

This does not only include the value of movies, but also the value of peripheral products that contain greater wealth. It can be said that just relying on a Marvel is enough to develop a complete media group.
