Chapter 1017: Empire Group Swallows up Marvel Comics for $8.5 Billion

Chapter 1017 Empire Group swallows up Marvel Comics for $850 million!

22:30 New York time.

It was very windy outside.

Yang Ming was still in the study.

There was a knock on the door, and Yang Ming went to open it and found that it was Yuan Tianfan.

"Boss, I'm back."

"Tianfan, be sure to pay attention to safety outside."

Although the United States is the world's most powerful country, the crime rate is not low, especially at night, many white people dare not go out.

These days, Yuan Tianfan goes out early and comes back late, and Yang Ming is really worried about his safety.

Of course, Yuan Tianfan studied in Chicago at the beginning, and he is very clear about the security of the United States.

"Boss, don't worry."

Yuan Tianfan stood next to Yang Ming and reported to him about the acquisition with the Martin Goodman family in the afternoon.

Because Stan Lee has agreed that Marvel Comics will be acquired by the Empire Group, it means that there is no problem with the management of Marvel Comics.

With the help of Stan Lee, it is easier to acquire Marvel Comics.

Now the Martin Goodman family may need to discuss the purchase price further.

"Boss, your bid is $800 million, and the Goodman family hopes to sell all of it for $1 billion. However, according to our current preliminary assessment, the maximum is about $600 million, and the price the Goodman family wants is still too high."

$1 billion?

Compared with the Australian tycoon Murdoch's acquisition of 20th Century Fox Film Company, the price the Goodman family wants is indeed much higher.

"Let's talk, our highest bid is $800 million."

Yuan Tianfan wrote it down.

"We also went to Wall Street today."

Yuan Tianfan has been to Wall Street many times, and Yuan Tianfan no longer feels anything.

"I plan to set up several hedge investment companies in the United States."

Hedge investment companies?

Yuan Tianfan is a top student with a background in economics, so he naturally knows hedge investment companies.

"Also, have you heard of Quantum Fund Company?"

"Boss, I seem to have heard of it, but I'm not very familiar with it."

Quantum Fund evolved from Double Eagle Fund.

Double Eagle Fund was founded in 1969 with a capital of 4 million US dollars; in 1979, the company changed its name to Quantum Corporation.

The fund was established in New York, and its investors were all foreign investors who were not nationals of the United States, thus avoiding the supervision of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission.

Quantum Fund invests in commodities, foreign exchange, stocks and bonds, and uses a large number of financial derivatives and leveraged financing to engage in a full range of international financial operations.

However, Yang Ming knows that the current Quantum Fund Company and even Soros are not well-known.

Later, Soros and Quantum Fund shocked the world several times, but they were actually supported by the United States.

"The founders of Quantum Fund Company are Soros and Rogers, but you have to pay attention to that Soros. In the future, Soros must be supervised by someone."

For the next half a month.

Yang Ming stayed in the wealthy area of ​​Huntington, Long Island, New York.

During this period.

Yuan Tianfan and Future Capital New York Branch sent people to discuss the acquisition of Marvel Comics with the Martin Goodman family.

Yuan Tianfan has asked Future Capital to set up hedge companies in New York, Chicago, San Francisco and other places.

Of course, these hedge companies have not played any role now, but it will be different in the future.

June 9, 1985.

Sunday.

Morning.

The highest daytime temperature in New York has reached 25 degrees Celsius.

After breakfast, Yang Ming and Park Jinhui took a walk in the private manor.

Last night, Yuan Tianfan came back to inform.

The Martin Goodman family and other shareholders of Marvel Comics have agreed to sell to Empire Group at a purchase price of US$850 million.

In other words, Empire Group spent more than US$800 million to buy all the copyrights of Marvel Comics.

Although the third-party evaluation is only about US$700 million at most, the Goodman family is unwilling to sell it.

As for the Goodman family's offer of US$1 billion, this is also impossible.

The two sides talked for more than half a month, and finally acquired it at the price of US$850 million.

This means.

Yang Ming's mission to New York this time has been completed.

It can be said that the most important thing for coming to New York this time is to swallow up Marvel Comics.

As for setting up a hedge company, it is still secondary.

"Boss, are we leaving New York?"

"Yes, the next stop is to go to Los Angeles."

At noon.

Yang Ming and others had lunch at the private manor.

In the afternoon, they packed up their things.

Yang Ming and his party, as well as Lin Dezhong and others, took a car to leave New York and took his private plane to Los Angeles International Airport.

That afternoon.

Yang Ming and others took a car to leave Long Island and arrived at New York International Airport.

On his private plane.

It takes about six hours to fly directly from New York to Los Angeles.

. . .

At 20:15 in the evening.

Yang Ming's private plane landed safely in Los Angeles.

When Yang Ming and others came out of Los Angeles International Airport, someone came to greet them.

In Los Angeles, even Beverly Hills, one of the most expensive mansions in M.

Yuan Tianfan had already bought a Beverly Hills villa for Yang Ming in advance.

At that time, it cost nearly 6 million US dollars, which is equivalent to twice the price of the private estate in the wealthy area of ​​Long Island, New York.

Why is the Beverly Hills here so expensive?

It is because Hollywood is near Los Angeles and Beverly Hills.

For Hollywood stars, the speed of making money is not lower than that of those financial families in New York, and they even make money faster, so that the villas in Beverly Hills are more expensive than other places.

In addition, superstars from all over the world have purchased properties here, including pop stars, NBA basketball stars, as well as famous artists from the Chinese world, and chaebols from all over the world.

Superstars and wealthy people gathered in Beverly Hills to show off their wealth and status and expand their popularity. More wealth has therefore been continuously rolled into their wallets, forming a spiral of wealth, which has rolled the owners here higher and higher, and the radiant light has become more dazzling.

In the future, the villas in Beverly Hills will be more expensive, costing hundreds of millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars.

Yang Ming and others left Los Angeles International Airport by car, and about half an hour later, they had arrived at a Beverly Hills villa located halfway up the mountain.

It is night now.

However, there are many lights here, much more than those in Long Island.

Here.

Now you can even see the sea in the distance.

When Lin Dezhong went to take over the villa, Yang Ming went back to his master room first.

On the private plane, Yang Ming and others had already had dinner.

Now come here, take a hot bath and rest.

"Master, the villa in Beverly Hills is really big." Ah Zhu was just inside, turning around, she found that it was actually much bigger than the private manor in Long Island.
