Respawn Entertainment

Of course, Chen Lin would not be stupid at this time to buy MGM at such a high price. The so-called $26 billion is also a gimmick. The price he really quoted to the other party was $8 billion.

He thought it was high for the 8 billion US dollars and was a little worried that the other party would agree in a flash. He really thanked the American people for their understanding of justice.

His high-profile announcement of the acquisition of MGM this time was actually to use this big news to attract the attention of the media and cover up a real acquisition.

"Mr. Yang, have the guests I made an appointment arrived?"

"I'm here to inform you that the guest has set off and the helicopter is ready for you, and you can set off."

"I notify the security department that the more you reach the last moment, the more you cannot relax your confidentiality work. After the matter is completed, you will receive a heavy reward to the entire security department." Chen Lin gave the order and stood up and walked out.

Mr. Yang nodded and led Chen Lin to the top floor of the company. A helicopter had been waiting on the roof.

Chen Lin took two bodyguards onto the helicopter, and soon the helicopter carried him into the distance.

Half an hour later, the helicopter stopped at a private manor outside New York, and the manor was waiting for it.

"Mr. Chen, the customer has just arrived and is waiting for you in the living room." A man who looked like a housekeeper finished reporting and led Chen Lin into a villa in the manor.

Chen Lin walked into the hall and saw an American in his 40s, with sparse hair, in suit and jeans. The foreigner was sitting on the sofa and tasted coffee. When the foreigner saw the owner coming, he stood up and smiled on his face.

"Mr. Kevin Feige, it's an honor to meet you, a legend in the comics world."

"Jason Chen, I'm the same. I'm very happy to meet you, the richest man who is not only in the comics, film and television, and it's finance."

After meeting, the two of them politely, they sat down separately.

Kevin Feige is the current president of Marvel Comics, a famous American comics giant. It was founded in 1939 and officially named Marvel in 1961.

The letter "marvel" is very familiar to many viewers who like to watch Hollywood superhero movies. The comics you know about Spider-Man, Iron Man, Captain America, Thor Thor, Hulk, Wolverine, Fantastic Four, Ghost Rider, Ant-Man, and the original comic copyrights of superhero teams such as Avengers, X-Men, Galaxy Guardians, etc. are all from this company.

This time, Chen Lin’s acquisition target was not MGM but the legendary comics giant. He issued an extremely attractive price for Marvel - $6 billion.

In fact, based on market value estimates, the company's total value is around US$4 billion, and Jade Emperor Entertainment has increased the price by 50%.

"Kevin." Chen Lin said straight to the point: "I believe I am the only person who can bid for a price of $6 billion. This price is very sincere. How has your company's board of directors been studying."

"All shareholders of our board of directors are very satisfied with this price, but we have another requirement."

"Please say it."

“The company name and logo of ‘marvel’ should be retained, and we are very interested in the ‘Global Entertainment Connection Platform’ proposed by your company and hope to participate in this platform.”

The so-called "global entertainment interconnection platform" is a new concept proposed by Yuhuang Group this year. Chen Lin plans to integrate the platform and channel resources of the five major groups around the world, including Yuhuang Entertainment, Starry Sky Entertainment, Huangting Industry, Pentium and Gu Ge.

These channels and platform resources include: TV stations, online video networks, cinema chains, etc., which not only include offline and online, but also include the emerging channel of mobile phones, such as the "Mobile Online Application Store" jointly developed by Gu Ge and Apple.

Yuhuang Entertainment Group integrates these resources to create an unprecedented platform. Users around the world will simultaneously share the latest songs, movies, TV series, readings, games, shopping and other entertainment products on this platform.

For example, a European audience can see Asian movies at the Royal Court Cinema, or enter Gu Ge's owned home to pay to see the latest American dramas on the English video station "youtube". People in China can see foreign films and TV series on the Chinese video station "Youku" opened in March this year through Pentium. If you have a mobile phone control, you can click "Mobile Online" to download the latest songs.

The greatest value of this platform is that it is an open platform, and companies and individuals from other countries can also enjoy this resource. In the future, Yuhuang Entertainment will also invite other companies to join this platform and continue to expand this platform.

Although Jade Emperor Entertainment has just launched the "Global Entertainment Internet Platform" program, the senior management of Marvel Company has seen the huge benefits of this program and is eager to join the program one step ahead of others.

"Kevin, the Global Entertainment Internet Platform is an open platform. I welcome Marvel's franchise." Chen Lin smiled and said, "As for other requirements, they are trivial matters, I can agree to them all."

Seeing Chen Lin agreeing, Kevin Feiqi stood up and reached out and smiled happily: "Since that's the case, Jason, you will be my boss in the future. I hope we can cooperate happily."

"Hahaha!" Chen Lin laughed and stood up and shook hands, and said happily: "Kevin, in the future, you and I will be colleagues and friends, we should celebrate with champagne."

After a while, the housekeeper brought champagne, Chen Lin and Kevin raised their glasses to celebrate.

"I wish us a happy cooperation, cheers--"

"Happy cooperation, we will create a new situation for our two companies, cheers--"

......

On the afternoon of July 30, 2004, MGM announced the suspension of negotiations with Yuhuang Entertainment Group. In just half a month, a acquisition case that caused a sensation around the world was still in the womb.

This incident seemed like a simple economic event, but it caused a stir in China, and criticism of Hollywood was endless. Some experts and scholars publicly accused the US political intervention that led to the failure of the acquisition. This behavior violated the principle of the market economy. If the big news of the next day immediately attracted the attention of the people, an economic debate between China and the United States might have been staged.

The next day, at 9 a.m. on August 1, Chen Lin, Chairman of Jade Emperor Entertainment Group, and Kevin Feiqi, President of Marvel, jointly held a press conference and officially announced that Jade Emperor Entertainment Group successfully acquired Marvel for a huge sum of $6 billion.

The news was spit out from the bosses of the two companies, shocking the American media reporter who was gloating yesterday. The news quickly returned to China at a speed of lightning.

Many friends have never heard of the word "Marvel" before, but soon the official website of Jade Emperor Entertainment released the glorious history of Marvel's past.

After watching it, friends learned that this company owns Spider-Man, Iron Man, Captain America, Thor Thor, Hulk, Wolverine, Fantastic Four, Ghost Rider, Avengers, X-Men and other well-known superheroes, and the first thought came to mind: From then on, the copyright of these superheroes belongs to us Chinese.

Wow, kak, ~ In an instant, many friends became excited. If you didn’t do anything at this moment, you wouldn’t be able to express your excitement. Everyone logged into QQ to share this news with their friends, entered major forums and portals, and posted to express their pride and pride in their hearts.

On this day, people in the entertainment industry and outside the entertainment industry are deeply happy and proud. This day will be recorded in the development history of Chinese films and Chinese economy.

It can be said that the whole country is celebrating. Compared with this, Americans are in a complicated mood and have tasted a sense of loss for the first time. In some ways, Marvel's influence in the United States is even greater than that of MGM. His superheroes have accompanied the growth of generations of teenagers in the United States.

As a Chinese, you may not be able to understand the status of superheroes in the hearts of Americans, but you can understand it if you think about it the other way around. Please imagine: Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, or Black Cat Sheriff, and the Caulova was bought by a foreign company to get the copyright. The copyright of these characters changed ownership overnight and were not from China. How would you feel? Then what you think at this moment is the Americans' thoughts.

After the press conference, Chen Lin handed over the merger of the two companies to his subordinates. He disappeared from the sight of the media and returned to his hometown to celebrate his daughter's two-year birth with his family. (To be continued.)
