Shortly after the founding of starship technologies.
Zhang Wei and Anna Josephine meet with Zhuke again. He made a further report to Zhuke on the shares of Microsoft, Yahoo and Cisco held by Zhuke.
"Aside from the rest, I just want to know if sal polmat and aviarad of Marvel are interested in these shares?" Jack interrupted with a wave.
For the shares and controlling rights of marvel, Zhuke is sure to win!
Zhang Wei and Anna look at each other and smile bitterly.
"Boss, it's hard." Zhang Wei took the lead.
"What about the details?" Zhu Ke said in a deep voice.
Zhang Wei pondered for a few seconds and said, "boss, you should still remember Ronald Perelman?"
Of course, Zucker knows him.
"A very cunning guy, and very good at speculation." Chuck said scornfully.
Ronald Perelman, former chairman of marvel, is a capital hype expert.
In early 1989, he spent $82.5 million to acquire marvel, becoming the largest shareholder. Later, he used his cunning marketing method to claim that "Marvel comic books have collection value", prompting many fans to buy a large number of comic books, and listed marvel in a short period of two years, successfully earning money in the stock market.
But... Lies are lies after all.
Market mutation!
The value of comic collection declined rapidly, and the "comics collection bubble" broke down.
The whole comic industry ushered in a cold winter!
Marvel was the first to bear the brunt, with its share price plummeting and several times on the verge of bankruptcy.
However, as the chairman of Marvel company, Ronald Perelman took the opportunity to dig out the details of marvel and start a crazy sale!
In just a few years, he relied on marvel to make at least $500 million!
In the original words of Icahn, a former shareholder of marvel, Perelman said: "Perelman is like a plumber who helps you repair water pipes. He not only completely destroyed your house, but also wanted to rob your house without paying a cent."
...
"Boss, a capital expert like Perelman, was driven out of Marvel by sal polmat and aviarad, and even Icahn, the former second shareholder, stepped down. There are too many things involved." Zhang Wei said with a bitter smile.
It dawned on Zhuke.
Anna added: "boss, you are going to complete the acquisition of Marvel before Spiderman and fox's X-Men are released; But sal polmat and aviarad are also waiting for the release of spider man
Smell speech, Zhu kedun sent out a laugh.
Zucker is a wise man, yes, but sal polmat and aviarad are not fools either.
On the contrary, they are extremely smart!
Otherwise, they will not be able to drive Perelman out of marvel.
In fact, Sal polmat and aviarad had a discussion when they learned that Zucker wanted to buy Marvel.
"It can't be sold!"
"Even if Marvel wants to sell it in the end, it can't sell it now."
"We have to wait until Spiderman and X-Men are released. As long as they can achieve good results and high box office as blade, then the stock price of Marvel will soar. We will have the initiative to sell them or not."
"At that time, even if we sold marvel, we would be able to sell it at a high price, far higher than the current price!"
Sal polmat and aviarad set the tone after their discussion.
What can Zhuke do?
There are no good people in Hollywood!
All his mother is a cunning fox, singing Liaozhai are good!
"Dong Dong ~!"
Zucker pondered, tapping his fingers repeatedly on the table.
"Zhang Wei, Anna, I decided to give up the acquisition plan of marvel for the time being." Zucker decided.
"Yes, boss."
Is Jack really willing to give up marvel?
How is that possible?
"Since the normal commercial means can not achieve the purpose of acquisition, then I do not mind using capital means to complete." Chuck thought.
Yes, the acquisition of marvel, Zucker is still a bit sure.
Marvel has a lot of debt to the bank.
As long as the bank is secured, the capital chain of marvel is broken, and the equity and copyright mortgaged by Marvel are obtained from the bank, then the acquisition can be forcibly completed.
Of course, it will take time.
It can't be done overnight!
......
Time goes by.
In the twinkling of an eye, it was early July.
During this period, Zhuke had a lot of leisure. The specific work of the company was in the charge of Victor and others, while Zhuke himself was wandering around.
Wandering in spider man, Harry Potter, here comes death and butterfly effect, I had a detailed chat with the directors, producers and stars of the four groups.
Even though he was so free, Zhuke still felt tired.
"Tenima is tired ~"
"The company under my name is only so small, and there are a lot of assistant staff, so tired, I can't believe how tough the bosses of those giant enterprises should be!"
They get up earlier than chickens, sleep later than dogs, work more than cattle and eat less than rats. They not only work all year round, but also die suddenly.
Hard working entrepreneurs and capitalists, it's hard to do!
Zucker doesn't want to be like that!
Tenima is tired!
"I'm just like a salted fish!"
Hold the most power, sleep the most beautiful girl, eat the best food, drink the strongest wine, live in the most luxurious house, listen to the most moving music, enjoy the most beautiful scenery
The life of immortals is yearning!
But it has a major premise, that is, there must be enough capital and confidence for Zhuke to squander!
Therefore, Zhuke's career must continue to move forward! forward! It's moving forward ~!
Tuesday, 6 July 1999.
It's fine.
The long-standing low-key DV movie "the witch Blair", with a production cost of only $60000, has been shown in 29 theaters across the United States.
"It's said that this is the true story of witches who do harm to people."
"I saw it from the Internet. It's said that many people are missing, but I don't know whether it's true or not?"
"It must be true. It's said that the local people in buzizville know about it, and even the local police have many records."
"Do witches really exist?"
"Ha ha, what's the age of this? Do you still believe this? What is the use of scientific knowledge? "
"George, I'd rather believe something than nothing."
When he bought the movie copyright of "the witch Blair", Zhuke bought the related propaganda website of the witch Blair from the director, which published many news about the "witch" in the United States since ancient times, as well as many cases of missing persons.
Although Wald film did not invest much manpower and financial resources before the film was released, some netizens still knew the news that the "top secret file" and "real video" of "the witch Blair" were shown in the cinema.
They are naturally interested!
As a result, many people saw this "top secret file" in 29 cinemas on the day of the release of "Blair the witch".
However, attendance is not high.
That day's box office was only $24000.
Senior executives of craftsman entertainment can't help sniffing at the news.
"I thought Wald had something to do with it, that's all!"
meanwhile.
Harvey Weinstein of Miramax also laughs, "no wonder they don't dare to show it on a large scale. It turns out that the movie is too rubbish, and Jack Wald can't be lucky forever."
Barry Mayer, vice president of Warner Bros., frowned: "no! As far as I know of Jack Wald, he would not do anything so unwise. Is there anything else in it? Is it hard to make this blockbuster "the witch Blair" a big hit
"The first watch" is presented.
