I’m in Hollywood

"Ron, I am a professional manager, not a capital player," Avi Arad pointed to the old office supplies in the conference room and said, "Look at what you have done over the years, you only know that there is nothing. Controlling any remaining value of Marvel. Many people have gone away in the past few years. The company has no vitality and is carrying huge debts. If it continues, Marvel will definitely die. I am just saving this company. Isn't it right?"

Ron Perelman had some sorrow on his face, but immediately resentfully retorted: "But you should not betray me. If you have any opinions, you can negotiate with me."

Avi Arad heard the words of Ron Perelman and almost wanted to laugh out loud: "Ron, can't you really remember, how many times I have prayed for you?" 'Are you?'

I don’t know if it’s a shame or awkwardness. Ron Perelman’s rush of blood surged and almost incoherently emphasized again: “You... don’t forget, I am the owner of this company.”

"It’s not right now," Avi Arad suddenly lost interest in talking to Ron Perelman, dropped the sentence coldly, and walked out of the meeting room.

More than half an hour later, Kasenberg, Avi Arad, Ron Perelman and their respective lawyers gathered in another conference room in Marvel.

It seems that Ron Perelman, who has once again become highly motivated after packing up his emotions, opened a stack of thick documents that were temporarily sorted out last night and opened the door: "Ron, now you have two First choice. Private reconciliation. Andrews Holding Company will make a sum of money. Buy all the Marvel tradable shares in the market at the current stock price, then implement the 100% debt-to-equity swap strategy and hand over Marvel to us. Personally think this is the best way to solve this situation."

Hearing Ron Perelman's cold snoring, Kasenberg didn't mind, he continued to use a cold formula to express his tone: "So, second. We will apply for the color of the Andrews holding company." The investigation of Wei Debt Financing, although such investigations and subsequent litigation will be protracted, no matter when it is delayed, all the evidence is conclusive, you still have to return all debt financing that encroached Marvel, in addition to facing I have promised you that there is no $1 billion in fines. You don’t want to know about this lawsuit and spend $1 billion. I think you are not far from bankruptcy."

A middle-aged man sitting next to Ron Perelman said: "Mr. Kasenberg, I can see you, is this intimidating my client?"

Kasenberg looked at Ron Perelman’s lawyer. It’s like laughing and laughing: “You should know that I am making movies, so don’t use the common lines in the movies on this occasion, it will make you very unprofessional.”

The middle-aged people obviously have the basic cheeky of the lawyers. They don't mind Kasenberg's irony. They insist: "Mr. Kasenberg, you didn't answer my question."

Kasenberger shrugged: "I didn't intimidate your client, I was only telling a basic fact and some of the determination of the Firefly Group."

Ron Perelman blocked the private lawyer who wanted to continue to say something to Kasenberg. "Jeffrey, I will not choose these two conditions. Don't forget, Marvel's bankruptcy protection period. It’s a month. As long as I can come up with a reasonable solution to solve the current situation within a month, Marvel is still mine, and no one wants to take it away.”

"Yes, it's a month, but..." Kasenberg said whisperedly: "You can't get any way to get Marvel back to life, because now the Marvel is completely empty. Shell, in addition to the toy department can barely run, Marvel movie, empty shell; Marvel TV, empty shell; music department, empty shell; even the root of Marvel, comic department, responsible for two years ago The seven masterpieces of the major popular comics such as "Warrior" and "Fantastic Four" are all gone, and now they are no different from the empty shell. Mr. Ron Perelman, tell me how you plan to make it Will Weiwei come back to life?"

Ron Perelman said without hesitation, Kasenberg said: "Don't think I don't know, the Firefly Group doesn't care what you say. What you really want is just the heroes of Marvel. Copyright, I tell you, you will never succeed, I would rather sell Marvel to any third party for one dollar, and will not give it to fireflies."

Kasenberg, whose temper was already very hot, also raised his voice: "But you don't have the right to sell Marvel one dollar to a third party at all, because the federal court will not allow you to make such a move that harms the interests of creditors. Even if you want to sell, you can only sell it to fireflies."

"I don't even think about it. I have always only grabbed things from other people. I don't want to take things that belong to me."

"Do you think it is still in the 1980s? Go to the lower city to see it. De Chong Securities has not existed for a long time. It does not exist!"

"..."

"..."

The very unfriendly meeting quickly broke into a quarrel. When the two sides almost faced each other, the onlookers, Avi Arad and other talents came back and quickly got Kasenberg and Ron. Perelman opened.

Crazy to drop a whole office thing, Ron Perelman finally calmed down the mood, with lawyers and assistants left the Marvel headquarters without saying hello.

In the first time, Eric, who was in Los Angeles, was aware of the news of the conflict between the two people because of the resurgence of the incident. Avi Arad said that he was not too worried if he wanted to use it. By taking the Marvel, Eric could have sent Frank Wells to take charge of the matter, but doing so would only give Ron Perelman an inch. The strong and violent character of Kasenberg is just able to restrain Ron Perelman's insatiable greed.

After the first negotiation broke down, Ron Perelman did not continue to contact the fireflies, but immediately flew to Los Angeles, in an attempt to transfer Mars, the doomed baggage, to several major Hollywood studios, but All eyes are on the Disney animation department of Hollywood, who still cares about Ron Perelman. Even realizing that it was impossible for Panasonic to support the acquisition of the animation department, Michael Eisner did not mean to act, because he also regretted that the Japanese would not support Universal because of the conflict between Marvel and Firefly.

Later, Ron Perelman still tried to test some companies interested in the entertainment industry. But most of the weaker companies don't want to provoke the capital forces represented by the US's first and second richest people. Companies with sufficient strength also realize that they want to solve the dilemma of Marvel, and need to invest hundreds of millions of dollars, but even if they grab Marvel, they want to develop Marvel's movie copyright, still can't do without Hollywood's support. As the biggest local snake in Hollywood, fireflies will certainly not let them have a good time for those who have robbed their own hunters, and ultimately will not be worth the candle.

In desperation, Ron Perelman even played the idea of ​​the firefly long-term bond.

But in the end, it still can't be said, and it doesn't say that Andrews Holding's bond is worth only $400 million. It can't make up for the loss of Marvel, and realizes the recent situation of Ron Perelman, who are interested in taking over the bonds. Investment companies offer a lower price than a family, and the highest bid is also a 10% discount. A few months of change is a loss of 40 million US dollars, Ron Perelman is also difficult to accept.

After more than a week, the fireflies seemed to have no urge, but Ron Perelman found himself dead.

Continued stalemate, dragged through a month of bankruptcy protection period still can not produce any feasible corporate restructuring measures, Marvel will face forced bankruptcy liquidation.

Early in the morning of August 21, Avi Arad just got into his office and received a call from Ron Perelman. The hoarse voice in the microphone barely supported the last strong: "I don't want to see you again." To Jeffrey Kasenberg, I want Eric Williams to talk to me personally."
