Andy and Disney Chairman and CEO Robert Eiger’s lunch was in a friendly atmosphere.

Although the other party's purpose of meeting him was dissatisfied with the White House's pressure on the three major TV stations and using prime time to broadcast the president's speech, Andy understood the other party's real purpose from some of the other party's cornering hints.

Sure enough, I didn't give up.

Since Marvel Group's Kingsoft has become his own, Andy will naturally not let go idiotically. Not to mention 5 billion, he will not even consider 10 billion now.

Not to mention that the total box office of the Marvel Cinema Universe series will exceed 10 billion. Although the profits in the end may not reach 10 billion, don’t forget that the influence it can generate and the power it generates when driving the entire industry, these intangible benefits are also something Andy attaches great importance to. He really does not lack the US dollar now.

Besides, even if you get tens of billions of dollars, don’t you have to spend money to invest? It will only keep depreciating in the bank. He could not have expected that there are better quality assets than Marvel Group, especially Marvel Group, which has been fully activated by him.

Andy also guessed why Disney Company had brought up the old story again. Recently, some of the films produced by Disney Pictures have been coldly treated by the audience, which has made people question the decline in the quality of these films. The company is also under close supervision of public opinion and is under great pressure. Public opinion speculated that Disney Pictures Chairman Dick Cook may be kicked off the stage as a result.

"8 billion USD, Andy, we are very sincere. The price you bought is four times the price, I believe..."

Robert Eiger, who noticed Andy's temptation, did not continue to make a move and directly quoted, saying that in his opinion, no one could refuse to acquire Marvel for $8 billion. In more than a year, he made $6 billion in profits, and he didn't even rob the bank so quickly.

However, what surprised him was that before he finished speaking, he saw Andy, who had put down his knife and fork, shook his head with a smile on his face, picked up a napkin and wiped his mouth, his eyes full of disbelief.

Seeing the other party's expression, Andy also smiled and sighed in his heart that this is the difference between a founder of a company and a professional manager. What professional managers have always thought about is how to improve performance, raise stock prices, and seek short-term returns. What entrepreneurs want is the long-term sustainable development of the company, rather than selling high-quality assets to make the company's finances look good.

"The price is really tempting. Unfortunately, Marvel belongs to my media group's non-sale products. I think you should have heard of them. Marvel's first phase of film plan has been scheduled to 2018, and I am confident that in these ten years, Marvel can generate more than 10 billion profits. So, let alone eight billion, I won't sell even 10 billion US dollars.

Marvel and me, just like espn and Disney, are non-sale products!”

"That's really a pity..." Hearing Andy's clear rejection, Robert Eiger shook his head and smiled bitterly in disappointment, "Before, I told the board of directors to take out $8 billion, and many directors strongly opposed it, thinking that the price was too high. To be honest, I have always believed that this price is an irresistible price, but I didn't expect..."

As he said that, Robert Eiger looked at Andy with a smile and sighed sincerely: "Everyone thinks you are a Wall Street tycoon and likes capital operation. Who would have thought that you are a real entrepreneur."

"Thank you, becoming a successful entrepreneur is the direction I have been working hard for. I am very interested in making money, but I value more in realizing the value of life. People always have to leave something for the world and prove that they have come, not just a string of numbers and a bunch of dollars. What do you think?"

Andy smiled, reached out and held up the goblet holding the wine, signaled to the other party. The other party expressed admiration and touched Andy, and said with emotion: "That's true. Although you rejected the invitation to acquire, I sincerely hope that you can cooperate more in the future. Even if we have a lot of business competition, I believe that we will still have many opportunities to cooperate."

"Haha, of course." Andy did not refuse the kindness of the party, but chuckled: "Actually, we have been working together. Isn't my dark fairy tale series the best example?"

"Haha, that's right, toast for our cooperation."

"cheers." ……

After lunch and saying goodbye, Andy and Iger shook hands and greeted each other for a few words, then they each got into their own cars and parted ways.

It is impossible to say that Robert Eiger is not disappointed this time, but there is no way to do it. Whether it is Marvel Group or NBC Universal, they are all wholly owned holding companies that belong to Andy Smith. His owner said he would not sell them, and no one could do it.

To be honest, like Robert Eiger, there are many people who are very jealous and regretful when they see Marvel rise again. It really fits the saying, 'You ignored me at the beginning, but now I can't afford to climb up'. Disney's previous evaluation of Marvel was that the 5,000 characters owned by Marvel are the best assets, "This is a sleeping goldshock."

But it's too late to say anything now. At this time, Marvel, which was fully activated, not only tightly covered all the IPs, but also tried every means to retract the IPs that were wandering outside. It can be said that they were all methods, which was a bit annoying. Whether it was Sony Columbia or 20th Century Fox, they were in a headache for the new Marvel, which was incredibly unpredictable.

However, as the most successful professional manager, Robert Eiger was not discouraged. Since Marvel Group had missed it, we should raise the alternative goals. You should know that Disney's entertainment business empire has achieved turning points again and again through capital operations of "mergers and acquisitions".

As he hosted in 2006, the acquisition of Pixar through US$7.4 billion has allowed Disney to continue to maintain absolute competitiveness in the animation market. In three years, through excellent animations produced by Pixar, Disney created a box office amount of half of the original acquisition price.

I originally wanted to seize the boys market by acquiring Marvel and using the superheroes in Marvel's hands, but now I can only choose Lucasfilm.

This time, no matter what, Disney will also "snatch" the most mature and largest IP series in the world in the field of science fiction.

Andy naturally didn't know at this time. Because of his refusal, Disney turned his fingers and pointed it at Lucasfilm, which he had coveted for a long time. He was sitting in the seat of the car, closing his eyes to rest, and muttering softly in his mouth, "There shouldn't be two Marvel..."

The value of Marvel Group has now been widely recognized by the market. This Kingsoft is no longer sleeping, and has also made the IPs that were previously wandering outside more precious. X-Men, Fantastic Four and Deadpool, and Spider-Little are almost all his heart problems. What a wonderful thing it would be to expand the Marvel Cinema Universe to these already 'famous' superheroes.

"There shouldn't be two Marvels."

Andy suddenly opened his eyes, and changed from the original muttering to the strong tone and his eyes were cold.

Whether it is using the Inhumans to replace mutants or tamper with mutants comics, there is actually no way. As a superhero who has become famous, X-Men has many fans and influences all over the world. It is not something that an inconspicuous Inhuman in Marvel comics can replace. After all, the characters such as Wolverine, Professor X, Phoenix Girl, and Magneto have long been deeply rooted in people's hearts.

Therefore, the best way is to retake these IPs, but in the face of Fox, Andy really couldn't find any good way to make the other party compromise.

Although Andy had a killer move, he had never wanted to offend the old fox Murdoch to death. However, this time, he made up his mind to "change" these IPs from Fox. As for whether the methods would seem despicable, it was no longer within his consideration.

Besides, if you don’t know others, you will not do it yourself. Andy Smith is just a coincidence. I believe the old fox will not hate him.
