Chapter 206 Acquisition of Marvel
There are many posters of superheroes posted on the walls of Marvel Comics, and Stan Lee gave Dongfang Yuqin a detailed introduction when he came to one place.

Stan Lee said with a smile, "In fact, the inspiration for many comics comes from the intricate social environment at that time. Marvel comics are not just "boom bang bang bang" fighting and killing, but also profound social and political comments In 1974, Marvel portrayed the President of the United States as Satan in "The Incredible Hulk". In the same year, he also portrayed Nixon as the leader of a conspiracy organization in "Captain America", plotting to overthrow the United States!"

Dongfang Yuqin couldn't help but click her tongue secretly when she heard the words.

Later, Stan Lee told her many interesting stories, which gave Dongfang Yuqin a deeper understanding of Marvel Comics.

"Mr. Li's decision to acquire Marvel is really a wise move!" Dongfang Yuqin secretly thought, "If these superheroes and stories are brought to the screen, they will definitely be very popular!"

Around 12 o'clock, everyone came to the meeting room.

Stan Lee first said: "Miss Dongfang Yuqin, due to the downturn in the entire comics market, Marvel Comics is indeed in big trouble. However, the superheroes of Marvel Comics are very valuable assets. Warner After Brothers acquired DC Comics, they launched "Superman" and "Batman", which have achieved great success. We all know that Disney is the industry of Chronos Li. If Marvel Comics can cooperate with Disney, it will also be Create great value!"

Dongfang Yuqin smiled and nodded.

She naturally understood that Stan Lee said so many words just to let her know the value of Marvel Comics.

"Mr. Stan Lee, how much do you think Marvel Comics is worth?" Dongfang Yuqin asked.

"One hundred million dollars!!!" Stan Lee said.

Dongfang Yuqin smiled, slowly picked up the water glass, drank a sip of water, and said unhurriedly: "Mr. Stan Lee, in the comic market, DC and Marvel are evenly matched, but your offer is too high." Too much, Warner Bros. didn't spend that much money when they bought DC Comics!"

Old Stan Lee blushed and thought, although the other party is young, he is not easy to deal with. He obviously did a lot of preparations before coming.

"Miss Dongfang Yuqin, how much do you think Marvel Comics should be worth?" Stan Lee asked rhetorically.

Dongfang Yuqin said lightly: "6000 million US dollars is more appropriate!"

"6000 million US dollars?!" Stan Lee's eyes widened, and he cut off 4000 million US dollars at once, which was too hard!
"That's right, it's 6000 million US dollars!" Dongfang Yuqin repeated.

Stan Lee stabilized his mind, and said in a deep voice: "Marvel is deeply loved by the American public, with a large number of fans, and has a huge comic resource and comic distribution channels. In addition, Marvel has unique advantages in film and television and game adaptation. Advantages, did Miss Dongfang Yuqin ignore these?"

The reason why Dongfang Yuqin bargained so much was to test the other party's bottom line.Obviously, 6000 million US dollars has exceeded their bottom line, and it is absolutely impossible for the other party to accept it.

Dongfang Yuqin thought for a while, and said to Stan Lee: "Then add another 1000 million US dollars. You know, adaptations are also risky. So far, Marvel has not had a successful precedent! To acquire Marvel Comics, we are also taking a risk." It is a big risk! Moreover, with the current movie special effects technology, it is really difficult to present the image of a superhero in Marvel comics!"

Stan Li Moran, from the perspective of the acquirer, Dongfang Yuqin's words are very reasonable, making it difficult for him to refute!
It is precisely because Marvel Comics has not been successful in film and television and game adaptations that it is now in a very difficult situation. DC Comics is backed by a big tree to enjoy the shade. It is much better than Marvel Comics. DC relies on Warner Bros., not only has it achieved success in the field of movies, but also in the field of games, it is also loved by players!
Marvel has actually authorized other companies to make film and television or game adaptations, but these works are shoddy and rubbish.Marvel Comics not only failed to make money, but also damaged the company's brand.

In order to maintain the image of Marvel and its superheroes, Stan Lee stopped cooperating with other companies, but wanted to raise money for Marvel Comics to make movies or develop games by itself, but the company lacked money, so there was really no way.

When Li Zetian sent him an acquisition offer, Stan Lee was actually very happy. DC Comics has Warner Bros. as a backer, and Marvel Comics should also find a company as a backer.Although Disney Company ranks relatively low among the six major Hollywood film companies, it is also a good choice.

"Miss Dongfang Yuqin, if you really want to acquire Marvel Comics, the valuation of 7500 million US dollars is our bottom line, if it is less..." Stan Lee frowned and stopped suddenly. I really don't want to reject this acquisition. Selling Marvel Comics to Li Zetian is the best choice right now.

At this moment, Dongfang Yuqin smiled and said: "Mr. Stan Lee, 7500 million US dollars is 7500 million US dollars, I agree!"

Stan Lee couldn't help being overjoyed when he heard this, his face turned red with excitement.

Dongfang Yuqin continued at this time: "Mr. Stan Lee, although Chronos Li acquired Marvel in his own name, it will definitely be merged into Disney in the future, but Marvel Comics can operate independently. Chronos Li I firmly believe that only you know Marvel best, and you don’t need Disney to tell you what to do. Marvel Comics can set up its own film company—Marvel Pictures, and then make movies! As for game adaptations, you should trust Flamingo. Game development ability!"

"Believe it! Believe it!" Stan Lee nodded again and again, excited, not to mention that Marvel can be independent, and it can also establish Marvel Pictures, there is nothing better than this!

"Miss Dongfang Yuqin, when will we sign the acquisition agreement?" Stan Lee couldn't help asking.

"Anytime!" Dongfang Yuqin said with a smile.

"Then now!"

"Okay, let's do it now!"

Stan Lee immediately asked someone to draft an agreement document.

Half an hour later, the two parties signed an agreement, and Li Zetian easily acquired Marvel Comics.

"Stan Lee, Marvel in the future is not just about developing comics. I think it might be more appropriate to call it Marvel!" Dongfang Yuqin said after finishing the documents.

"Miss Dongfang Yuqin is right. In the future, both Marvel Comics and Marvel Pictures will be subsidiaries of Marvel!"

Dongfang Yuqin nodded, and said: "The matter has been completed, and I have to go back and report to Chronos Li!"

After speaking, Dongfang Yuqin stood up and bid farewell to everyone.
