Chapter 1013: The Acquisition of Marvel Comics Is in Progress!
Yang Ming knows.
One is to convince the Martin Goodman family, which involves the acquisition amount.
Historically, 24 years later, at the end of 2009, Disney acquired Marvel Comics for $4.24 billion. However, it is now 1985, and according to Yang Ming's prediction, the overall price of Marvel Comics is around $800 million.
At this time, $800 million is really not low.
In March of this year, Australian media tycoon Murdoch bought half of the shares of 20th Century Fox, one of the Hollywood giants, for only a few hundred million dollars.
Another thing is that if you want to convince Stan Lee, Yang Ming knows the most important thing, that is, after the Empire Group acquires Marvel Comics, he can adapt the stories in it into Hollywood movies.
"Boss, what do you think is a suitable acquisition price?"
At this time, Yuan Tianfan wanted to ask a bottom line first.
The specific acquisition price needs to be evaluated by a third party, including a reasonable evaluation of all the resources of Marvel Comics.
In other words, acquiring a company is not just calling a price.
If the acquisition price is too high, it will definitely be your own company that loses money.
The acquisition price is too low, and people are unlikely to be willing to sell their company.
"Around 800 million US dollars."
800 million US dollars?
That's about 6 billion Hong Kong dollars.
In Yuan Tianfan's opinion, this is definitely a lot of money.
Now Future Capital is financing those companies in Silicon Valley, usually at most a few million, or even tens of millions of US dollars, and a financing of tens of millions of US dollars is already a very high financing.
Yuan Tianfan wrote it down.
Yang Ming and Yuan Tianfan finished talking.
Yuan Tianfan already knew what to do.
. . .
Rest for a night.
Early the next morning.
Yang Ming got up and took a walk in the yard, and then had breakfast.
After breakfast, Yuan Tianfan, Alina, Lin Xiuzhi, and He Chaoxun went out to prepare for the acquisition of Marvel Comics.
Among them, Yuan Tianfan was going to contact Stan Lee, chairman of Marvel Comics.
Park Jinhui originally wanted to go and see, but Yang Ming asked her to stay.
For Yang Ming, he brought Park Jinhui to the United States.
Learning from him is secondary.
The most important thing is to deepen the relationship between the two parties.
Yang Ming wants Park Jinhui to be his agent in Goryeo. If he doesn't have that kind of close and unconditional trust relationship, Yang Ming doesn't need to focus on training the other party.
New York time.
8:30 am.
Yang Ming and others have already finished breakfast.
At this time, the temperature in New York is gradually rising. A gust of wind blows, and it is still a bit cold.
"Boss, where are we going?"
"Play golf."
The reason why this private manor is a private manor in the rich area.
There is even a golf course.
Compared with the standard golf course, it is naturally much smaller. This can only be regarded as a small golf course.
In Yang Ming's opinion, it is enough.
At this time, in addition to Yang Ming, Park Jinhui, as a former Goryeo princess, often played golf during her father's reign as the ruler of Goryeo.
Ah Zhu, Zhong Chuhong, Guan Jiahui, especially Ah Zhu, Zhong Chuhong is just from an ordinary family. They used to follow Yang Ming to play golf in Hong Kong. Even the Repulse Bay Mid-Levels Villa has a small golf course, but they have never played it themselves.
Guan Jiahui's family was much better off, so she didn't try it either.
For Park Jinhui, she hadn't played this aristocratic sport since her father died in 1979.
"Mr. Yang, I'm playing golf with you?" Park Jinhui asked in surprise.
"Won't I?"
"No, I just haven't played it for a long time, so I might be a little rusty."
When the servants in the villa took out the golf clubs.
Yang Ming and Park Jinhui started playing golf separately.
Ah Zhu, Zhong Chuhong, and Guan Jiahui watched from the side.
It was still a little cold in the morning, but after playing and walking, it slowly became hot.
Yang Ming took off his coat and gave it to Ah Zhu, and continued to play golf with Park Jinhui.
Maybe Park Jinhui remembered the scene when she accompanied her parents to play golf on the golf course in Seoul, and the happy memories kept coming back to her mind.
"Park Jinhui, what's wrong?"
"Mr. Yang, I thought of something in the past."
After Park Jinhui stopped, she was not as excited as before.
"Then let's sit down and rest."
Yang Ming and Park Jinhui sat down on a chair and drank water.
"What did you think of just now?"
"My father and my mother."
Azhu, Guan Jiahui, and Zhong Chuhong knew a little about Park Jinhui's identity, but they were not very clear. Now Park Jinhui talked about her past memories with Yang Ming.
Especially, her father was shot by her father's most trusted confidant, which made Park Jinhui the most uncomfortable.
"Don't think about the past anymore."
"Yes, Mr. Yang."
Drank water.
Took a fifteen-minute break.
The two continued to play golf.
...
It took nearly three hours.
This time, the golf game was over.
It can be seen that after Park Jinhui finished playing, she exercised and sweated, and she was in a good mood.
Yang Ming took a hot bath first, changed clothes and returned to the study.
Park Jinhui also took a hot bath by herself, then changed into a skirt, and walked to the study in high heels to meet Yang Ming.
"Do you know why I am willing to help you?" Yang Ming looked at her and asked.
"Mr. Yang, I don't know." Park Jinhui really didn't know.
"Because I need an agent who is truly loyal to me and works for me in Goryeo."
An agent loyal to Yang Ming?
Park Jinhui is very smart and seems to have thought of something.
As for the current Goryeo chaebols, which one is not an agent of the United States?
The major shareholders behind the Lee family of the Samsung Group and the Zheng family of the Hyundai Group are all from the United States. In fact, they are all agents of the United States.
. . .
At noon.
Have lunch at the restaurant of the private manor villa.
He Chaoxuan, Alina, Lin Xiuzhi, and Yuan Tianfan went out and have not returned yet.
Yang Ming, Park Jinhui and others also have lunch first.
After lunch.
Yang Ming went back to his room to take a nap.
Wait for him to wake up.
Have afternoon tea at the private manor.
It was almost 17:00 in the afternoon.
Alina, He Chaoxuan, and Lin Xiuzhi came back first, but Yuan Tianfan hadn't come back yet.
Today, they went to meet Martin Goodman and his family members.
"Boss, today we went to the Martin Goodman family. The Goodman family was very surprised at first when they learned that we wanted to acquire Marvel Comics, and they couldn't understand why we wanted to acquire their company."
"What was their attitude?"
"The Goodman family didn't directly refuse, nor did they directly say they were willing to sell. However, I think they must have discussed whether to sell Marvel Comics internally after knowing the purchase price?"
In fact, it was a matter of money.
If the purchase price was right, they would still be willing to sell their company.
In that case, Yang Ming was going to wait for Yuan Tianfan to come back to discuss it.
It was late at night.
Yuan Tianfan came back.
Today, Yuan Tianfan and people from the New York branch of Future Capital personally went to the Marvel Comics headquarters and met Stan Lee.
