Reborn Hollywood Ladies

Chapter 464 Acquisition of Marvel ([-])

But he didn't know that the reason why Lila gave him this reminder was because he knew that Stan Lee's company went bankrupt soon and filed a lawsuit with Marvel.After a lengthy trial, he eventually got a 10% cut of the proceeds.In Leila's opinion, instead of going to court with himself who bought Marvel, it is better to detonate the old man in advance and let Goodman have a headache first.

The final result was almost exactly what Laila thought. Attracted by the 8% revenue share, Stan Lee really came out to lobby some people in Marvel who could call the shots.No matter how powerful Goodman is, he is only one person, and it is impossible for him to run the entire comic company by himself.

Stan Lee has been a director of Marvel for more than 30 years, and his prestige in the company and fans is not comparable to that of ordinary management.

Goodman was very angry when he got the news, but what if he was angry?Everyone knows that the company is in a downturn. There is a local tyrant who is willing to buy it and promises to increase investment. Who is willing to push a large amount of money out?
It's just that he doesn't want the company he founded to become someone else's property. He thinks his love for comics is something a girl can't understand at all.

Channing caught on to Goodman's idea after negotiating a few times with Marvel.In this situation, the easiest thing he could think of...was to push Lyra out.

This "mature and stable" future stepfather couldn't help but want to cause her some trouble under the repeated blows of a certain Lai.Don't you always say I can't lose face in front of my future children?Then you go up and try, if you can't do it, it's hard to say what I will say in front of your future siblings.

When Laila received his request, she didn't expect that he would be so "naive". She just felt that if a person with strong self-esteem like him really said that he couldn't do it, then he probably couldn't do it.

So on the second day, she went to Marvel and talked to Marvel boss Goodman in person.

And when she appeared in Marvel, the employees in the company easily recognized her.Although they were embarrassed to appear too happy in front of the boss, they were still very excited to see such a big man appear in front of them.

Lila smiled at the employees who were secretly looking at her, and then walked into the conference room calmly.

"The real person is more beautiful than the photo, have you seen it!"

"I don't know if she will become our new boss, if she is, great!"

"Yeah, I heard that she likes superhero comics very much! It is said that the coffee shop she bought is already very famous among comic fans, and many people often go there."

Different from Goodman's refusal, other employees showed great anticipation for the acquisition.They are all aware of the company's current difficult situation, and they also feel that in such a predicament, it is better to be acquired by someone who really likes comics than to be acquired by someone who knows nothing about comics and likes to point fingers, right?
After Leila, Channing and others sat down in the conference room, Goodman pushed the door open and came in.

As soon as he entered, he stared straight at Lyra, as if that would make her feel his deep anger.

Lyra did feel it, but it was little deterrent.Not everyone can be threatened by such a naive move as "kill you with eyes".

Goodman didn't waste any more time, and directly expressed his thoughts: "I won't sell Marvel!"

Lyra wasn't surprised by his answer, and if it was that easy to chew, Channing wouldn't have let her out.

"Mr. Goodman, listen to me a few words before you refuse."

After seeing Goodman sat down with a snort and did not express any resistance to her words, she said unhurriedly: "Marvel is a company with potential, I do not deny this. If it is really a company I will not spend so much money to acquire a small place that is not worth mentioning. I can see the importance of Marvel to you, and I can feel the hard work you put into this company. Because of this, you The company should be handed over to me."

Goodman sneered: "You mean you know better than me how to keep this company going?"

Laila curled her lips and smiled slightly: "Isn't it? Please take a look at your company, and then look at my company. Who do you think is better between the two of us in terms of company governance?"

Goodman was overwhelmed by the fact that he had built a company to the brink of bankruptcy, and she had grown a near-bankruptcy company in a short period of time.Which one is strong and which one is weak can be distinguished at a glance.So Leila's words are really convincing.

But it was only convincing, and several members of Channing's team almost laughed out loud at her words.They could see that she was simply switching concepts secretly. One was a comic company and the other was a film company. The two were completely different in nature.It's hard to say whether the boss of the film company will be able to do as well as he did in the original company after switching to the comic company.

Goodman was taken to the corner of the horn by her and hadn't turned back yet, so he naturally didn't realize the trap in her words.He just felt that what she said made sense. Compared with his own, her way of managing the company was more successful and effective.

But that's not the point!No matter how hard it is to live up to expectations, this is also the company he founded with his hard work. He believes that as long as the time comes, the company will be able to shine the most dazzling light.

"I'm just missing some time! One day, Marvel will be the best comic book company!"

Lila didn't care about his rhetoric. She did know the future development prospects of Marvel, but no matter how good it was, it was the future. Now Marvel is a small company barely making a living!
"Mr. Goodman, if you want to grow the company, you need me even more. I have sufficient funds to invest, and I can also show the company's superheroes in movies. Maybe you can really make the company in the future. Okay, but the price you pay is probably huge. Take the Avengers for example, how many important heroes are left in it? If you sell the heroes one by one in order to maintain the development of the company, then when the time you think comes , How many heroes can the company have?"

Laila's words were so sharp that Goodman almost spit out a mouthful of old blood.If you agree to sell people without revealing your weaknesses, can you still have a good time together?

Before he got angry, she continued: "The Hulk was sold to Universal, Spider-Man was sold to Sony, Blade Warrior and Ghost Rider were sold to Columbia, X-Men, Fantastic Four, and Deadpool were all sold to In addition to FOX, even Lionsgate has the copyright of the Punisher and humanoids. Is this the way you helped Marvel find?"
