Coquettish Rebirth

Although he, the fat man, had no say in the matter of the acquisition, but after thinking about it for a while, he immediately felt that it would be good to actually acquire it!That's right, the acquisition is indeed a good thing!Why did the previous Marvel develop slowly?Is it because they don't have a patron?There is Warner behind DC, so they gave Warner the direct copyright of the film, and then Warner invested in the film itself, which benefited the entire group!As for Marvel, they have no money, so they can't invest in the film and make it themselves. Even if they do it reluctantly, the risk is too great!It's easy for the company to go downhill all at once!And if you want to be more stable, if you don't invest yourself but sell the copyright to other companies to let other companies take pictures, although it is stable, everything depends on other people's faces, and the money is too little, which is really too much. I'm aggrieved!After all, this really has a penny that stumps a hero!

And what if Marvel was acquired by Jia Hongjian?Jia Hongjian must be very rich!Not to mention whether Jia Hongjian's money can be compared with that of Time Warner Group, at least there must be tens of billions of dollars?At this time, not to mention how much you can invest in Marvel, at least it feels like it shouldn’t be a big problem for Marvel to invest in filming by itself?Even if Jia Hongjian did not inject capital after the acquisition of Marvel, but just said that Marvel and DreamWorks cooperated, the effect would be better than Marvel's previous single-handed efforts!As long as Marvel and DreamWorks can cooperate, then the two will jointly contribute money. For example, Marvel will contribute one-third plus copyright, and then DreamWorks will contribute two-thirds. The two will work together to make a movie. The box office earned is divided into two, so it is definitely good for the two, isn't it?Moreover, we are still a brother company, and DreamWorks will not grab any movie copyrights if it wants to come, so we can cooperate for a long time!Such a thing is not the same as what Fatty Bai had imagined before.But from another perspective, can it be regarded as a kind of "all roads lead to Rome"?

That's right, Fatty Bai suddenly realized that such a thing is a good thing!Even the connection between Jia Hongjian, DreamWorks and their Marvel will be closer than he imagined before, and by then, it may be able to make up for the biggest shortcoming of Marvel for decades!If you think about it this way, being acquired actually seems like a good thing!But suddenly he thought.It was discovered that regarding such an acquisition, there may be differences between his management and the board of directors!why?Because his management, to put it bluntly, is to make the company develop better!Because this white fat man just took the position of president, the company is developing well, his work resume is good-looking, even if he leaves the job in the future, it will be easy to find a job, and on the other hand, if the company develops well, the performance will definitely be good. At that time, his personal income will also rise!

like now.Marvel's annual turnover is only 1.25 million US dollars, and its operating profit is only 5300 million US dollars. The salary for such a president is only 300 million US dollars!This salary is really not high among the presidents!It is not impossible for the president of other companies who are doing well in other companies to pay a salary of several million to 1000 million dollars a year, plus various bonuses, dividends, etc., and finally reach tens of millions of dollars!Now the gap is huge. For a newly promoted CEO like Fatty Bai, he certainly wants to have the opportunity to be on par with the salary of other CEOs!So relatively speaking.He is more inclined to promote such an acquisition, after all, the company has a financial backer after the acquisition.It is much more convenient to develop naturally!After all, money is no longer a problem in many cases, and many problems are no longer a problem!

But for people on the board, that's a different story.For them, the development of such a company was not very good before, but now with such a newly promoted president, there is an opportunity for the company to develop!If you sell the company at this time.That is simply falling on the eve of the success of the revolution!After all, if it takes a few years, as long as their company succeeds, the valuation will definitely be higher!It will obviously be more appropriate to sell it at that time!So relatively speaking, people on the board of directors obviously feel that they are less willing to sell the company as a whole. Isn't there a difference?

And the worst part is.He hasn't had a chance to speak on such a matter as the acquisition. It's obviously a bit strange that this matter has come to this day. He, a part-time management, has disagreements with the directors who own the company!How can this be fixed?And how to convince the members of the board of directors to agree to Jia Hongjian's acquisition offer?It can be said that it is amazing that at such a time, the fat white man suddenly became Jia Hongjian's brain trust—the fat white man soon began to advise Jia Hongjian and the others: "Mr. Jia, I think you want to In the case of an acquisition, we must give our board of directors a guarantee that they will continue to increase their value by virtue of the company or other developments in the future. Otherwise, in their view, if they don’t sell the company for a few years, they will have a chance to make more money all at once. More money, there is no need to sell it to you now, unless you pay a premium several times the market price to buy it..."

Hearing this, Jia Hongjian couldn't help turning his head to look at Katzenberg, and sure enough, Katzenberg was also looking at him!The two people looked at each other's eyes, and it could be seen that they both admired this fat white man!Both of them found that the fat white man was very knowledgeable about current affairs, and his brain turned very fast. He realized that the board of directors might not want to sell the company so quickly. This is really a talent! "Well, I know about this, and you can rest assured that if the acquisition is successful, you won't lose your job. Okay, you go back and inform your board of directors. I will find someone to talk to you in a few days. .” Jia Hongjian said so.

After seeing off the fat man, Jia Hongjian of course discussed the acquisition strategy with Katzenberg.In fact, as a reborn person, Jia Hongjian thought early on that Marvel might not be willing to sell their company. After all, if it was for Jia Hongjian, he would not be willing to sell it either!Even if he loses his status as a reborn, but if he calculates carefully, as long as "Iron Man" can become popular, then Marvel will be on the right track, and the selling price of the entire company will definitely rise in the future!Now it can be said that that is the time when Marvel's overall valuation is the lowest. Isn't it sick to sell at this time?Even if "Iron Man" doesn't succeed by then, the company can be sold at that time, but the selling price will definitely be much lower then.

After some discussion.They are going to seize such a risk to fool around—for the people on the board of directors of Marvel, if "Iron Man" does not become popular, then the price will be much cheaper if they sell the company again. Isn't that the same as a loss of potential money for directors?And if you sell it now, the price is indeed not as good as the price after Iron Man became popular, but at least it is higher than the price when Iron Man is not popular!Of course.This is not to say that we need to persuade the people on the board of directors to agree to our quotation all at once, we just need to make them willing to talk to us!People will definitely try to find a balance between risks and quotations—for example, trying to make Jia Hongjian’s current quotations a bit higher, even as high as the price of all the shares of their company after the "Iron Man" fire, That's even better!And Jia Hongjian is definitely not happy to do this, so this is a game in the end!

However, after discussing with Katzenberg, Jia Hongjian felt that there was still another way to make an offer to Marvel—that is to say, Jia Hongjian did not buy all the shares, but bought 60% of the other party's shares first. , and then merge Marvel and DreamWorks to form a new company.The boards of directors of the two parties will also be merged. At that time, two business departments will be under their jurisdiction to manage the affairs of the two aspects.In this way, after DreamWorks and Marvel jointly make their performance better and better, those former shareholders of Marvel will also be able to continue to distribute dividends and profit!Wouldn't it be easier for people to agree in this way?And in that case, Jia Hongjian still holds 60% of the shares in the new company, and the shares of other people will be diluted. In this way, Jia Hongjian still has control over the company!

And in this way, the two business departments of DreamWorks and Marvel, because they are both under the same company, don't need to be particularly clear about the cooperation with each other.Is not it?For such a general negotiation method, Jia Hongjian felt that he could still approve it.He doesn't have any exclusive desires for Marvel.What's more, he still wants to come here to make some money on the eve of Marvel's great success!In this way, as long as you can buy a large stake as soon as possible, and don't delay it until even Disney comes in to compete, that's the best!After all, no matter how much money you have, you must first get it in your own hands, so that you can make money for yourself in the future.That is king!After tangling for a long time, negotiating and negotiating, just to lower the price a little bit, in the end, Disney took advantage of the danger and got Marvel. It would really make people cry!

After this rough plan is finalized.Then of course the next step is to find someone to negotiate.As for the negotiation, there is no need for Jia Hongjian to come in person now, he sent Zhang Chaoyang from Huaxia Hi-Tech to help him negotiate with Marvel in New York, that's enough.As the boss, Jia Hongjian, we just need to sit in the back and command by remote control!The negotiations at the beginning must have been a game of wrangling. Jia Hongjian also knew that the entire acquisition would take a long time. Even if the acquisition agreement was signed, an accounting firm would be required to conduct various statistical calculations to confirm the overall value of the acquisition. Assets and whether there are hidden debts, etc. In the end, everything is proved to be all right, and then the acquisition can be successful.And by that time, it is estimated that it will be almost the beginning of 08!Affected by such a incident, it is estimated that "Iron Man", which was released in 08, may have to be postponed until 09. At that time, Jia Hongjian can see if he is in the mood to help them.

But at such a time, there was a sudden message, and it was a message that came through someone unexpected to Jia Hongjian—the future president, Mr. Obama, suddenly told Ye Jing through his personal assistant, saying that it was Congress There are many Republican congressmen in it, and they have already started planning to make a proposal for the online sales platform of Huaxia Hi-Tech Holmes. It is very likely that they will want to require the online sales platform to pay special taxes in such a proposal!Because this online sales platform has affected the sales performance of various retail giants in the United States!
