A breakthrough was achieved in Tseung Kwan O, and good news came from Xiao Qi's side.

Just after Citibank transferred 9 billion Hong Kong dollars to Feng Kexin's account, news came from Legree from Goldman Sachs in the United States that Marvel's management and shareholder representatives had initially agreed to the Swift Family Fund's acquisition.

plan.

The Swift Family Fund acquired Marvel and its assets for a total of US$4.73 billion, delisting Marvel from the stock market and privatizing it.

All management executives will remain in office, guaranteeing not to lay off a single employee within five years, and guaranteeing an annual injection of no less than US$300 million within three years to ensure the normal development of the company's business.

If the management performs well, within the next ten years, the Swift Family Fund will give them no less than 5% of the shares as incentive.

Americans like to engage in equity incentives.

But as the saying goes, if you don't do this in the United States, it will be difficult for those elite professional managers to work for you.

Especially when little Taylor has no business talent, their full assistance is even more needed.

But on the other hand, the professional elites in the United States, under strict legal regulations, are not so easy to be blind, and can usually earn a lot of wealth for their employers.

The large and small shareholders of Marvel Company did not know the origin of this sudden appearance of the Swift Family Fund, but after struggling to support it, they were naturally happy to finally encounter such a big victim.

Killed with one knife.

After 2008 and entering 2009, the financial crisis not only did not end, but became more and more intense.

The number of unemployed people in the United States has increased for eight consecutive months, reaching the largest percentage since the Reagan era. The social situation is not optimistic.

The United States has always been the world's largest financial country. When banks, fund companies, and bond mortgage companies collapsed one after another, people's lives were naturally greatly affected.

One of the biggest changes is that major credit card companies have tightened their credit limits and no longer dare to let people swipe their cards casually to spend money in advance.

On the other hand, the same goes for the people at the bottom. They don’t dare to swipe their credit cards anymore. They actually imitate the Chinese aunts and start saving every penny. They have to think about it for a long time when they go out to buy groceries, let alone go out to eat in style.

Now, all these useful and useless things have been reduced by half!

Now American merchants are about to cry. Without Americans spending large sums of money on credit cards, their high costs will make them useless.

As a result, the wave of closures has ranged from factories to restaurants, from daily necessities to the clothing industry... The wave of store closures in the United States is simply no less than that in China.

This actually makes Xiao Qi happy, because these disasters were originally caused by the Americans themselves, including Europe. If they hadn't been so lazy, how could there have been the current financial crisis?

If people all over the world were like Chinese people and worked honestly all their lives, I'm afraid we would have rushed out of the solar system by now.

It can be seen from the above series of reactions that the impact of the financial crisis is never one aspect, but encompasses a whole, involving all aspects of people's lives.

All right.

The topic is a bit far gone.

But this is actually the case. Not only the financial industry, people's livelihood industry, but also the film and entertainment industry have been severely affected.

Marvel's biggest revenue now is still comics and their animated versions. The income from live-action movies is not enough for them, not to mention that those prodigal boys also sold a lot of movie rights to heroes, and

Actually, they haven't made much money yet, so they all have doubts about the development of Marvel Company and are not confident about Marvel's future.

In this case, if there is a villain who is willing to pay 4.73 billion U.S. dollars, which is almost 1 billion U.S. dollars higher than the market price, to buy 100% of the shares of Marvel, then that idiot will not sell it to them.

Compared with the bottom line of 5 billion US dollars given by Xiao Qi, Legree saved Xiao Qi 270 million US dollars, but when it came to subsequent delisting, privatization, taxes, commissions, etc., Xiao Qi had to pay more than 6 billion US dollars for this.

cost.

This is still based on the fact that the Swift Family Fund is established overseas. If it were replaced by a domestic company in the United States, the cost would have to be increased by at least 500 million.

That's the trouble with buying public companies in the United States.

If it were an unlisted company, there would be more places for maneuver. Various investment banks and accounting firms would provide Xiao Qi with a perfect tax avoidance plan, which would definitely allow the U.S. government to receive the least amount of money.

But Xiao Qi is not unhappy, because buying the Marvel company is the most profitable. A little loss now will be completely effortless in the future when a comic book hero movie can have a box office of 1 billion US dollars.

Take it back.

Xiao Qi is not without connections in the American film industry. Both David and Sam have deep connections with the entertainment industry. David, in particular, is a genius producer of commercial films.

Once the Marvel company is properly managed, David can start producing a series of hero movies, and by then, the days of counting a lot of money will not be far away.

No matter how rich Xiao Qi is, he will still feel very happy when watching these movies that make a lot of money. After all, no one will dislike the fact that he has a lot of money.

Of course, now is not the time.

First of all, Marvel still needs to straighten out its relationship and re-plan its future direction.

The second is that the U.S. economy is at its most difficult, and it is undoubtedly a risky move to make a movie at this time.

The third point, which is the most important point, is that Xiao Qi has to wait for the release of "Avatar" in December this year.

When this magical movie is released, people will know what a real 3D movie is, what a real IMAX movie is, and what an IMAX3D movie that makes people scream and faint is called!

IMAX and 3D not only bring about a doubling of ticket prices, but also a change in the entire movie-watching experience. Only this immersive movie-watching experience can attract more people to the cinema to watch well-made movies.

Hot production.

Isn’t this how American live-action animated hero movies have spread across the world?

So, we still have to borrow Cameron's light to be successful in the film industry.

Coming back to the present, of course it doesn't mean that Xiao Qi didn't do anything.

On the contrary, in order to train David and Sam, Xiao Qi planned to give them more experience in 2009 so that they would have the experience to start making these hero movies in 2010.

So when the two of them came to China in October last year, Xiao Qi discussed with them a plan to invest in and produce three movies, all action movies.

Anyway, generally speaking, there are only two types of Hollywood movies that can make money.

One is a disaster movie wrapped in love, and the other is a hit movie showing special effects.

Marvel's hero movies fall into the second category, with a slight hint of the first.

So as long as you have experience in making action movies, you will be familiar with Marvel's hero movies. For example, the most famous Bombshell is like this. The love story "Sneak Attack on Pearl Harbor" is a mess.

Returning to the familiar movie of using bombs to open a road, it immediately attracted the attention of the world and made money from all over the world.

Marvel is the property of little Taylor and will also be the property of her and Xiao Qi’s children.

Compared with the 5% of Disney stock that Xiao Qi wanted to give her before, Marvel is naturally much more prosperous. Although it is not as vital as Disney, it will not decline for at least a hundred years.

But this does not mean that Xiao Qi is not ready to buy Disney shares.

On the contrary, Gang Leader Qiao was actively helping him negotiate share transfer matters with Disney shareholders while he was smilingly purchasing Apple shares.

Because as Xiao Qi said before, as long as children are still willing to believe in fairy tales, Disney will never be ruined. Its fairy tales and basic base of Disneyland are the strongest weapons that other companies cannot match.

During the financial crisis in a previous life, Disney's stock price hit rock bottom.

The lowest price reached 20 US dollars, just like other unlucky people.

But just after Disney acquired Marvel, Disney's stock price rose sharply as Marvel's movies made money around the world.

When Xiao Qi was reincarnated, Disney's stock price had soared to nearly 70 US dollars, and I believe it will soar further in the future, reaching 100 US dollars. It is no exaggeration.

But it’s no longer possible. Disney does not have the help of Marvel. Although they will recover, they will not be able to regain the ferocious momentum of their previous lives.

However, even so, Xiao Qi feels that Disney is still worth investing in. This kind of entertainment giant with a strong foundation, integrating television, movies, amusement parks, publishing, manufacturing... etc., will always be the focus of people's attention.

, it is much more convenient to develop forever than other companies.

Moreover, after Dickini's shares are purchased, they will also be in Taylor's name.

There is no other reason. Among Xiao Qi's wives, only this cute and cute girl is Caucasian. She is actually relatively lonely, and her descendants will also be a little lonely.

Although European and American Caucasians have thick nerves and will not worry so easily during meetings, Xiao Qi needs to think more about his wife and children and grandchildren here.
