Rebirth

After hanging up the phone with Barry, Li Feng finished the delicious French breakfast, and immediately contacted the crew and asked them to fly back to Los Angeles. After Barry reached a formal agreement with Marvel, he picked them up directly. Paris.

After all, if they take the plane by themselves, but it takes 10 to 20 hours, Li Feng will pick them up directly, anyway, now the plane is parked and just fly again.

However, it was said that when Li Feng was arranging the crew to fly back to Los Angeles, it was already the second day in Los Angeles. In the Marvel meeting room, Barry Diller represented Tianyu Media and Marvel’s current owners. Ron Pereman officially signed the contract.

Naturally, in fact, Ron Pereman’s shares in Marvel are not as many as anyone expected, and they are not yet a real controlling stake. After all, Ron is a Wall Street financial tycoon. He originally invested in Marvel because he thought that Marvel could make money. The listing of Marvel is all from his handwriting.

Similarly, if his shares can reach the holding, as long as he insists not to sell, nothing else will do anything. In fact, this is one of Ron's big failures.

Although he has made a lot of money through the Marvel listing, but the controlling stake in Marvel is no longer in hand, otherwise there will be no previous Marvel rights dispute.

...

In Li Feng's view, this is also a common problem for European and American companies. As long as the major shareholders of listed companies are basically unlikely to have controlling shareholders, unlike Asia, which is heavily influenced by Chinese culture, most companies in traditional industries are private or private. Family holding.

Whether it is the world-renowned Hong Kong consortium, Korean and Japanese companies, various capital consortia and Chinese consortia in Southeast Asia, and even Wanda and Evergrande, the rest of the country’s many private companies are leading in various industries, except for Internet companies In addition, the rest are considered family or personal holdings, and there is no opportunity for others to grab the controlling rights.

Of course, except for the later Internet companies. After all, the later Internet opened the door to those venture capitalists. There was no venture capital environment in China at that time, which was regarded as a loophole for European and American capital.

To be honest, Li Feng even thought in his heart that if those Internet companies develop a few years later, there will probably be nothing to do with foreign capital.

In fact, when the founders of the domestic Internet companies took over the venture capital, they still firmly controlled the company. Although the equity was lost, the company was still under the control and management of the founder team. This is unfortunate. Fortunately.

It is almost impossible to see how many companies abroad have finally been kicked out after various financing.

In fact, on the one hand, there are various policy reasons such as state support, and in Li Feng's view, on the other hand, it is the Chinese people who reveal their willingness to control the enterprise in their hands.

Of course, there is no shortage of such companies in the world, such as Google and FB in later generations. Although the equity of the founder team is small, they have signed a strict board of directors-related voting rights agreement, which can ensure that the company is firmly established. In the hands of the founder team, here is a bit like the Internet companies of China.

...

This time Ron Pereman may be really boring. Although he controls more than 30% of the shares, he is still the largest shareholder, but in fact, Marvel’s internal management and large and small shareholders go down to the grassroots employees. Several people welcomed him, causing him to feel disappointed now.

Perhaps it was thought of going back to Wall Street to toss, and finally agreed to sell the Marvel shares in his hands, after all, their main business is Wall Street financial predators.

With the signing of Barry Diller and Ron Pereman, it also marked the start of a new round of expansion of Li Feng's entertainment group.

This acquisition does not require Li Feng to come forward. After all, although Marvel is very famous, it is really worthless now. Tianyu Media has enough capital and qualifications to buy, so Li Feng is not needed to come forward.

When Barry talked with Li Feng on the phone again, it also meant that Li Feng's entertainment landscape was further improved.To be honest, few people in Marvel are willing to take over now, mainly because of too much debt.

In addition to the previous competition between the two major Wall Street crocodiles, there is also a lot of management, but the management is mainly out of money and can only be anxious for the time being.

...

Naturally, with the end of Marvel, MGM started again. After completing the acquisition of Marvel, Barry and his party explained the situation to the management of Marvel, and then went straight to the airport and boarded Li Feng's private jet.

Similarly, the excitement of everyone in the management of Marvel is left behind. There is no way. The news is really exciting. I did not expect that Tianyu Media has just taken over Marvel, and the next step is to take over MGM. Once the king of Hollywood-MGM, although today's MGM is in decline.

For the management of Marvel, hearing that Barry is about to go to Paris to negotiate the acquisition of MGM, obviously proves that the strength of Tianyu Media is strong, and it also makes the management of Marvel full of expectations for the future.

Many management personnel are even expecting that Marvel will never encounter a bankruptcy crisis in the future. Now a rich owner has come, and the next good days for Marvel are finally here.

Now that Marvel’s acquisition has been kept secret for the time being, Li Feng’s preparation is to complete the acquisition of MGM and Marvel, and then hold a shocking press conference together.

"Barry, you are welcome to come and play in Paris. I have been working hard for you recently."

Early the next morning, Li Feng finally saw the arrival of Barry and his party at the hotel. Li Feng did not go to the airport to meet him personally, and directly asked the hotel to arrange someone to meet him.

"Boss, I am glad to meet you in Paris."

Barry Diller immediately greeted him with a smile.Barry came with a team of 10 people this time, after all, although it is said that it is almost the same, everyone can't help Barry pay attention.

...

Next, back to the suite, Barry explained the specific situation to Li Feng. Naturally, Barry and his party also had to face the problem of jet lag. After all, the 9-hour jet lag caused the day and night to reverse.

The Marvel acquisition case is over, and the management of Marvel put forward a request to wait for Li Feng to go back and hope to be able to see one side. Perhaps it may need a guarantee from Li Feng, and even Li Feng has been thinking about the unforgettable Stan. Li, the soul of the Marvel hero, also asked to meet.

In general, among Marvel’s current shareholders, in addition to Li Feng and the management, there is also an original toy partner manufacturer. Naturally, Barry felt that Marvel also needed a company like this, and carried out direct Mergers and acquisitions can be regarded as Marvel's direct acquisition of toy manufacturers.

This was unexpected by Li Feng, but it was Barry's later intention, and the money was not much, just a few million, and Barry made the decision directly.

Next, Li Feng also explained the current situation of MGM. The two sides exchanged information about MGM. After all, on the MGM side in Hollywood, Barry also inquired a lot of news, plus here. For the next negotiation, Barry directly expressed full confidence in Li Feng.

...

"Okay, Barry, that's it for today. Today, you have to take the jet lag first. Tomorrow you will cooperate with the old Cork team. I will leave the next negotiation to you, and I will wait. Good news for you." After chatting for a while, Li Feng said with a smile to Barry Diller.

"BOSS, don't worry, there is nothing wrong anyway, I will tell you the latest company situation."

"Barry, no need, you guys have a good rest today, so let's take jet lag today, you can let your subordinates visit Paris and see the beauty of Paris.

You can tell them that I won’t bother them today. When the MGM talks are completed, each person will have a two-day holiday and enjoy shopping in Paris. I will personally provide each person with a consumption of 10,000 US dollars and let They have a lot of fun."

"Then I will first thank you BOSS on behalf of them, then I will leave first."

After listening to Li Feng's advice, Barry Diller finally left Li Feng's suite, and naturally everyone lived in the George V Hotel.
