Chapter four hundred and ninety-eight praise and criticism are buyers, cheers are idlers

Eke Piermuth has been very unhappy for this period of time, yes, all kinds of dissatisfaction.

He can also save Marvel Entertainment Group and the fire. If he had not joined hands with two other shareholders to complete the counterattack acquisition of Marvel's filing for bankruptcy in 1996, Marvel would not have known what it would have been split into.

After ten years of operation, we carefully and carefully recovered the copyrights of various IPs sold at a low price. When we filed for bankruptcy, the superheroes sold by the bankruptcy committee at a bargain price once again returned to Marvel's arms.

Unexpectedly, when Marvel finally recovered, that old guy Stan Lee betrayed the board of directors and turned around to support Kevin Page and fought against the group company.

Not to mention how frustrated Ike is now, he also knows that if Marvel Entertainment Group wants to continue to develop well, it is impossible to do without Stan Lee, who is mostly in the coffin. This kind of restricted management actually makes him unable to control Marvel Studios, and a worker slapped in the face again and again.

What he wants to do most now is to fire Kevin Page, a self-righteous guy. The problem is that he is very entangled. Kevin Page, supported by Stan Lee and Marvel Comics editor, is not so easy to fire, especially after Kevin Page completed the reclaim of Iron Man's IP rights and the IP rights of core members of the Avengers such as Hulk, Thor, and Black Widow, it was even more difficult.

While the internal strife inside Marvel was in full swing, a news from Wall Street made the Marvel Entertainment Group strangely calm down. Some people questioned, some were moved, and more people were worried.

In the next few days, this news was constantly mentioned by those who were interested, and later it was seen by the media in the newspapers, and it was suddenly in an uproar.

Whether in the media or comics world, superhero fans have even started to argue online.

Andy Smith, this new wealth myth, is about to acquire Marvel Entertainment Group, and Bank of America will support him in full to complete the acquisition.

The powerful alliance between the two giants allowed everyone to see the feasibility of things.

Don’t say that you love this industry or the career of comics, you will feel pale and powerless in the face of Meiji.

The directors of Marvel Entertainment Group are also tired of the long quarrels that every meeting is held, and the half-dead struggle that Marvel has been unable to bring them huge profits for a long time. Some people want to take over, which is undoubtedly the only thing they want to do. They are connected in private, hoping to stand in the same camp and bite a piece of meat from the young rich man who just got huge amounts of cash.

Just as these shareholders were dreaming about the old Marvel people represented by Stan Lee were worried, the news continued to be hotly hyped, but there was no following. The news was still the same news, but neither Andy Smith nor Bank of America seemed to care at all. No one contacted Marvel, let alone a huge acquisition.

As day by day passed, some shareholders who wanted to get rid of their burdens and make a fortune could not sit still. If Ike, the largest individual shareholder, would have come to him, someone would have come to him.

For Andy, it was because there was no bridge for communication and he would definitely not escape the fate of being slaughtered when he took the initiative to deliver it to the door. He would not be the sucker. The world economy was about to end. If he spent a huge amount to acquire Marvel, he would definitely be stupid.

The shareholders who wanted to sell Marvel shares did not have a channel to communicate with Andy, which is undoubtedly the main reason why the acquisition has remained in the rumored stage.

Now, Ambassador Merkel's enthusiasm for building, now there is a bridge. However, as the eO and largest individual shareholder of Marvel Group, he has become hesitant and entangled. He really wants Marvel to grow in his own hands and is still very affectionate about Marvel, but he is still a businessman first, and no one can be indifferent to the huge amount of cash that can be obtained.

Under Merkel's introduction, Andy's expression was slightly shocked, and she held Ike's hand in surprise and said, "Mr. Piermuth, this is really surprising. I didn't expect to see you here."

"Haha, Mr. Smith is afraid I don't know. I am also a Jew." Akepiermuth smiled on his face, but he couldn't calm down. He was so young that he had achieved such achievements at such an age. He had to be shocked and amazed.

Merkel smiled without hesitation: "Recently, many newspapers have linked you two together. Andy, is that news true? Now many people outside are speculating how much money are you going to spend to acquire Marvel."

Standing side by side with Andy, Gal Gadot, who was a little reserved and smiling, looked up at Andy with a faint smile with a slightly stunned face. As a SE person, American culture is naturally familiar. Superheroes are an important part of the American ideological output. Who wouldn't know Spider-Man, Iron Man, Black Widow, and Captain America?

Andy looked at Gal Gadot with a bright smile, with a side face and a shocked expression, then looked at Merkel, and chuckled indifferently: "I used to have this idea, but it's a pity..."

As he said that, he looked at Eke Pilmut and spread his hands, making a helpless expression, as if there was something unspeakable. After saying it halfway, there was no further text.

Ikepilmut was a little confused about whether to sell it. To be honest, he was still tempted. Who doesn’t like American dollars? Especially for the rich people who invest most of his investments in the capital market, the current economic situation is a bit strange.

This is how people are. When others say they want to buy things they have, they are very reluctant to leave, but they are also confused about economic benefits. When others stop buying them, they are even more depressed. It seems that their things have become worthless, and they regret why they don’t sell them at the beginning.

"Haha, what a pity? I think the value of Marvel Entertainment Group is unquestionable. Are you worried about the price?" Merkel saw Ike's embarrassment and depression. He also hoped to be a bridge to facilitate it. After all, this would establish a friendship with both of them, and would leave a good reputation and good impression in the upper class.

"Haha, there is nothing in fact. It's mainly because my think tank evaluates Marvel and cannot identify with Marvel's corporate culture. My xing style is too strong and has plans for the strategic layout of each company. My subordinates need to implement it step by step according to the strategic layout. I hate the unconventional subordinates. I am not good at corporate management, but I am willing to delegate power and trust my professional managers. I agree with professional matters and leave them to professionals to handle.

However, Marvel Entertainment’s internal complexity is too complex and it is difficult to form an effective management system, especially after I learned about the situation of Marvel Studios…haha”

After Andy shrugged and spread his hands, he began to talk. He didn't care about saying some of his shortcomings. To put it bluntly, these words were all for Ike. Sure enough, when I mentioned Marvel Studios, Ike Piermuth's face became extremely awkward and ugly, especially when he saw Andy's sarcastic smile and disappointed expression on the corner of his mouth, he wanted to penetrate two sharp knives into his heart, making him feel uncomfortable and angry.

The atmosphere immediately became colder. Andy held the empty wine glass in his hand and looked at the watery Ike drinking the red wine in the cup in one sip. But if he looked at it with deep meaning, he did not improve the atmosphere.

When Merkel saw that the two of them needed some private space to talk, she smiled and said to Gal Gadot, "Miss Gadot, it's almost time to interview and take photos. Let's go there. You two are sorry for losing your companion."

Gal Gadot is also a smart girl. Zhan Yan smiled at Andy, then left with Merkel's arm, and only Andy looking at Gadot's back and the depressed Ike were left in the corner.

"It seems that Mr. Smith has a very clear understanding of our company's internal knowledge, and I am more convinced that the acquisition rumors are true. I don't know what price Mr. Smith is going to pay?" As a smart Jewish businessman, Ike would not believe that Andy Smith would mock Marvel for no reason.

Andy was slightly surprised. The other party's straightforwardness was beyond his expectations, but he would not admit that he wanted to acquire it, nor would he naively think that a price could be used to start a business. A purchase of billions can be decided in just a few words. It is not the time!

Andy shook his head and smiled, shrugged and said, "I think you may be disappointed, Mr. Piermuth, I cannot accept a group that cannot even control a subsidiary. If it is my company, no matter how capable professional manager dares to act beyond the bottom line of his career, I will fire him without any consequences, because I cannot accept ambitions and betrayers who are not self-aware!"

The expression on Eke Piermuth's face changed wildly, and the endless anger and trembling lips could be seen in his eyes.

Andy didn't care about the other party's anger, but Ike was an old fox after all, so he quickly completed the control of his anger, calmed down, and said meaningfully: "I'm more sure that you are determined to be in the Marvel Group!"

It would be impossible for Ike to say that it would not be angry about the ridicule of the young man in front of him, but what the other party said was also true.

Although he did not know the Eastern proverb, praise and criticism are buyers, and cheers are idle people. However, the Jewish business acumen are the best in the world, and it is not difficult to see that Andy has the intention to acquire Marvel.

Stan Lee, who didn't work at Marvel, didn't know that the power inside was becoming more complicated. Stan Lee, who created almost most of the superheroes, was just an old bastard who relied on his seniority, but those on the board of directors dared not offend him.
