I lost my vegetative state, and I became the richest man in the world

Chapter 1384 Allies!

Stan Lee seems to be no longer young, but he still looks very tough and energetic.

Stan Lee personally took Yang Ming in to see the development of Marvel over the years.

Before Marvel was acquired by the Empire Group, although it was also a comics giant in Country M, like DC Comics, it was the most famous comic giant in Country M.

However, compared with Japanese comics, that is far behind.

Oriental comics, popular comics, and comic weekly sales can reach millions of copies, but Marvel comics have hundreds of thousands of copies, which is already considered very good.

In other words, the comic market between the two countries is still very different.

Even then, Marvel's influence is still growing, especially the value brought by the characters in Marvel, including IP and so on.

With the support of Empire Group’s funds, channels, marketing, etc., Marvel has been developing better and better in recent years.

In addition to several Marvel movies and TV series released through Marvel Studios every year, Marvel also cooperates with the other five major Hollywood giants acquired by Empire Group.

Driven by the development of film and television, the revenue from Marvel's derivative products is getting higher and higher. Marvel clothing, Marvel toys, etc. alone bring a lot of revenue every year.

There is also the income from licensing, which has been getting higher and higher in recent years.

When the Empire Group acquired it, Marvel's market value has more than doubled now.

Even then, Imperial Group cannot easily sell.

Stan Lee took Yang Ming and others on a tour inside, including some common Marvel heroes such as Spider-Man and Thor.

After reading these.

Stan Lee and Yang Ming went to his office.

Although Yang Ming and the Empire Group have not interfered with the development of Marvel Comics, Stan Lee also knows that when he reaches a certain age, he will definitely give up his position as the head of Marvel.

So who will be the leader in the future?

Stan Lee's requirement is that he must understand comics and like comics.As for other professional managers, it is not impossible, but Stan Lee feels it is not suitable.

In other words, even if Stan Lee gives up the position of the leader, the new leader must meet this condition.

Now the Imperial Group has many, many talents.

However, for many companies invested by the Empire Group in Country M, Yang Ming was basically in a free-range state. He did not interfere, but many times he would provide very important opinions.

Moreover, many times, it is difficult for others to imagine that it is actually a company of the Imperial Group, and it has unknowingly penetrated into every aspect of their lives.

noon.

Yang Ming and others had lunch in the canteen of Marvel headquarters.

Because here are mainly administrators, comic planners, etc., mainly white people, and now there are many more Asians.

As for black people, maybe Marvel Studios will have some.

After lunch.

Stan Lee personally sent Yang Ming down.

He knows that in at least 30 to 40 years, the IP value brought by Marvel comics will still be relatively large, but in [-] to [-] years, it will be difficult to say.

This is related to the development of country M's national power. If country M's national power is still very strong, then the value of Marvel IP is still very high. Otherwise, the comics of country M may decline like the national power of country M.

At this point, the manga market in Japan is very strange. Although Japan has begun to enter the bubble economy era and is still in decline, the manga market in Japan is developing better and better, with more and more otakus and otakus. Even though the economy is declining, more and more consumers are reading comics or liking comic products.

In other words, the income may have decreased, but the spiritual demand brought by comics is still very large.

Yang Ming and others got into the Rolls-Royce and left here in the car.

. . .

Two days later.

Lin Xiuzhi and Alina are back.

Not only did the two women come, but a man also came.

It was Catherine of the Dines family.

"Hello Sir Yang, nice to meet you."

When Catherine saw Yang Ming, she immediately stretched out her hand to say hello.

Catherine had just graduated from college and didn't know what industry she would pursue. However, as a member of the Dines family, it was easy to succeed no matter what she did.

However, this time, the Dini family did not expect that Sir Yang, chairman of the Imperial Group, would send Lin Xiuzhi and Alina to visit and discuss cooperation between the two parties.

And why Yang Ming chose Dini Xing.

In fact, both sides have common opponents, Youtai of Country M and the Utai Consortium.

The Dini family is not simple. It is one of the four most important families in country M. Although many things have happened, it has not declined, but is still prosperous.

This time, the Dini family has accepted cooperation with Sir Yang and sent family member Catherine to meet Sir Yang first.

Catherine was just 25 years old, still very young, and she seemed to be a very intellectual young woman.

After Yang Ming shook hands with her.

These days, Lin Xiuzhi and Alina have been at the Dini family's manor.

At the beginning, the main members of the Dini family learned that Sir Yang had sent two people. One was Lin Xiuzhi, Sir Yang's secretary, whose identity was very important.

There is also Alina.

Many people outside may not know Alina's identity.

However, Dini was also surprised when he heard about Alina's identity.

Because Alina is a Yutai, but the other party is a Yutai from Su Lian, which is completely different from the Yutai people here in M ​​country. Now that Sir Yang has sent her here, he must trust her very much.

On the other hand, Alina did not reveal her identity as Yang Ming's woman, otherwise the Dini family would not think that way.

The two were well entertained in the Dines family.

However, the Dini family was still very wary at first. After all, Sir Yang and the Imperial Group are now very powerful and have a lot of wealth, but after all, they are not from the M country, and they are not white.

The single biggest advantage is that Yang Ming is now very popular with Country Y, that is, he is regarded as an Anglo-Saxon.

From a certain perspective, the main strengths of country M now are the Jewish and Thai consortium and the Anglo-Saxon consortium.

It was not until two days later that members of the Dini family gradually started talking to Lin Xiuzhi and Alina.

until now.The Dines family sent Catherine over.

Yang Ming and Catherine went to the study room.

Catherine looked at Sir Young's study in his villa on Long Island, New York, and found that it was not as simple as she imagined.

It is rumored that Sir Yang is a nouveau riche, and everything seems to be gold.

But Catherine hadn't seen that here.

To Catherine, this Sir Young was magical.

Apart from being Chinese, she could hardly imagine any difference between herself and other white elites.

"Sir Yang, I was entrusted by my family to come here to meet with you, but I still can't figure out why there are so many families and financial groups in M ​​country cooperating with our family?"

On this point, the Dini family is really confused.

"Yotai people."

Yang Ming said this.

In fact, many members of the Dini family may have died at the hands of the Utai consortium, but there is no evidence to prove it.

Besides.

There is one more thing, which is very important.

That's the curse of the Dines family.

In his opinion, the curse of the Zheng family, a modern group in Goryeo, may be more terrifying.

The Dini family has a long-held dream, the dream of mastery. Someone in this family must become the master of country M.Joseph secretly vowed once when he was praying in church: I have reached the highest peak of wealth, and I want my son to reach the highest peak of power.

The couple has nine children, and the ones with political potential are naturally four boys.

These four boys are the eldest son, Joseph Dinesus Jr., the second son, John Dinesi, the third son, Robert Dinesi, and the fourth son, Edward Dinesi.

Based on his own experience, Joseph knew that in order for his sons to have status, they must first have money so that they would never have to worry about life.He established trust funds that provided $2000 million each to his children and wife.

In the father's mind, the eldest son Joseph Jr. was the most qualified among the four sons to become the master.

But the ruthless war shattered his wishful thinking.During the war against Germany, little Joseph joined the army and became a pilot. In 1944, he was ordered to blow up the V-1 missile launcher of Nazi Germany.

While performing a mission, the plane he was piloting exploded over Country Y due to a malfunction. He and his co-pilot were blown to pieces.

This was the first disaster that the Denis family would encounter in the future.

Two weeks later came another bad news.

The newly married husband of the second daughter Catherine, Lord Hartington of Country Y, was killed by a sniper shot by a gunman from Country D while fighting in Country F.A few years later, Catherine, who was widowed, had a new boyfriend, Earl Fitzwilliam of country Y.

On May 1948, 5, the two rented a small plane to go to country F for vacation. They both crashed and died in strong winds in the mountains.

After the death of their eldest son, the family's hopes rested more on their second son, John Dines.

According to John Deenia later said, "My brother Joseph was the natural candidate for politics in the family. If he lived, I would continue to be a writer. If I died, my brother would become a senator. If anything happened to him, I would My other brother will campaign for us."

A son inherits his father's legacy, and a younger brother inherits his brother's legacy, just like a sequence of succession in politics.

John Denise's greatest political success was his election as the leader of Country M in 1960.

His father, Joseph, was the chief planner and chief director of realizing the dream of domination. He spent a lot of money to mobilize the press and publishing industry to publicize his son like a bombardment.

His son finally became the youngest ruler in the history of Country M.When John Dines formed the cabinet, his old father asked him to put his younger brother Robert into the cabinet, and Robert got his wish and got the post of Minister of Justice.

This was the political pinnacle of the Dines family.

On November 1963, 11, the Dines and his wife went to Dallas to canvass votes for re-election.At 22:12 noon, a bullet fired from a building next to the street hit Dinizhu in the head, shattering his skull, and Dinizh was stabbed to death. Over the past 30 years, many people have been dissatisfied with this conclusion and have made various speculations about the cause of Denisid's death.

Some people believe that during the assassination, another gunman ambush nearby and fired, hitting Denis in the head.As for the manipulator behind it, there are even more theories.

There are various theories such as the Soviet Union intelligence agency.The great Hollywood director Oliver Stone also made a movie called "Denys" in 1993, implying that powerful figures within Country M planned this conspiracy.The film actually received an Oscar nomination.It seems that the mystery of Denis's assassination will not be solved in the short term.

After the assassination of Lord Dinizar, Robert Dinizar, who served as Minister of Justice, became the head of the Dinizar family.

His mother said softly to him: "Son, it's your turn now."

In 1968, Robert decided to participate in the election for master, and it seemed possible that the Dinosaur family would produce another master.

Unfortunately, a young man shot him in the head at a public meeting, and Robert died in the hospital.The murderer was a Palestinian refugee named Sirhan, who hated Robert's strong pro-Semitic tendencies.

Three brothers died unexpectedly, and Edward Dines was the only one left with great achievements. He was also working hard to reach the top of politics.

In 1969, he was elected deputy leader of the Senate Democratic Party and was expected to become a popular figure to dominate the 1972 election.But an accident in July 1969 ruined his future.

One night he drove the beautiful blonde Miss Kopekne back to the hotel. When he was crossing a small bridge, the car crashed into the river.Edward escaped, but the girl died in the car, and Edward did not report the crime in time.

This incident damaged the reputation of the Dines family and forced Edward to give up his campaign to dominate.

The situation is also quite bad among the next generation of the Deney family. Several people are crazy "drug addicts". Robert Deney's son Bobby was sentenced in 1983.

His brother David was even worse and died.Originally, the family's last hope was pinned on John Denis Jr.He is handsome, popular, and has the ability to revitalize the Dinizh family politically.

Some even estimate that as long as he announces his candidacy, there will not be many people who can compete with him.But this plane crash almost cut off the last hope of the Dini family.

The 200-year-old Denis family can undoubtedly verify this statement.Joseph Dines gave birth to a total of 4 children, 5 boys and 9 girls. While they seemed to have political talents, they also became the target of some kind of destructive force.

Maybe many people feel that this family has been cursed, or it may be that the members of this family are restless and have risk-taking genes, which is why the mortality rate of a family is so high.

However, Yang Ming felt that it was not that simple.

Because too many members of the Dini family suddenly got into trouble or died just when they were successful.

It is impossible to say that there is no conspiracy behind this.

Yang Ming talked to Catherine about her family's curse, and Catherine's expression darkened.

"Our family is a very miserable one, as if it has been cursed."

However, Yang Ming shook his head.

"Maybe it's not that simple behind the scenes."

"Sir Yang, what do you mean?"

"If your family is still like before, it will definitely be like before, and some family members will suddenly die abnormally."
