When the time just entered August, when Eric was still pretending to negotiate with the Peter Schneider, the topic of Firefly closing Hand-Drawn Animation Department, which had already been cooled down after some heated discussions at the end of June, seemed to suddenly rise up again.

For a time, ‘Eric Williams and Disney Animation Department executives had a fierce conflict’, ‘Disney Animation Department employees were dissatisfied with the company ’s treatment and they would run away as a whole’, and ‘The Lion King’ will become Disney 2D animation absolutely noisy ’.

Because the expected total profit of "The Lion King" will exceed 1billion USD, for production costs less than 50 million USD, the return on investment has reached a staggering 2000%, far exceeding the profit margin of other Live-Action Film in the summer. Therefore, if Firefly is a listed company, even if there are favorable support for multiple Box Office big-selling movies in the summer, the stock price will inevitably fall sharply due to the news that Disney Animation Department may fall apart,

Under this powerful offensive offensive, soon, all bystanders who have obtained relevant news through different media have produced a concept that Firefly is about to lose Disney Hand-Drawn Animation Department.

Institutions and media closely following this matter have speculated that besides Disney Animation Department, what other forces are exerting pressure on Firefly Group in this way.

In their view, in the face of the huge profits of "The Lion King", Firefly will never give up Disney Animation Department easily, but at the same time, Disney Animation Department cannot have such a wide media influence. After all, Disney animation is a subsidiary of Firefly Group The subsidiary ’s original media resources are basically in the hands of the parent company, and it is impossible to make such a violent storm alone.

Moreover, it is pressing harder than the media's dark clouds. Firefly Group's response to a series of news seems to be a bit overwhelming. Most analysts have concluded that Firefly will be forced to succumb to Disney Animation Department.

On the second Monday in August, Headquarters ’s Andrews holding company at New York Manhattan, Chairman Ron Perelman, acts as a Firefly Pictures creditor. At the same time, it jointly issued a statement with 27 other creditors holding Firefly long-term bonds, expressing concern about the internal turmoil of Firefly caused by a series of wrong decisions made by Firefly Board of Directors and its senior management. At the same time, in order to protect the interests of creditors, Ron Perelman publicly appealed to the shareholders of Firefly, hoping to enter Firefly Board of Directors as a creditor and participate in the decision-making and operation of Firefly Group. If Firefly Board of Directors rejects this request, Ron Perelman said it will apply to Federal Securities and Exchange Commission for arbitration.

Next, the Peter Schneider and Disney Family key members Roy Disney of Los Angeles issued statements on behalf of all employees of Disney Animation Department almost at the same time, expressing strong disappointment with a series of group decisions of Firefly. At the same time, it welcomes the participation of Firefly creditors in the operation of the group, and hopes that Firefly shareholders will carefully consider this matter.

In order to avoid the news leaking ahead of time, the total Firefly bonds held by Ron Perelman and his 27 creditors are only 3.6 billion USD, which is less than half of the total Firefly bonds.

When Ron Perelman issued a statement, all the media and institutions that closely followed the Yulun storm in early August immediately understood the ins and outs of the incident. At the press conference, Ron Perelman also launched a call to other creditors of Firefly. However, when some other creditors were still considering the pros and cons of them, the support statements of Peter Schneider and Roy Disney made them instantly make a decision to reverse to Ron Perelman. .

"The establishment of the creditors' union in just three days is really fast. I'm just curious. How do the 77 creditor institutions want to allocate the two directors they want?" Firefly meeting, Eric Look at the latest information in front of you. The band said sarcastically.

Katzenberg looked at several directors, including Buffett, and said, "Eric, I think you have completely complicated this matter. We didn't need to experience such a public crisis, although we are not listed The company, but stalemate with creditors, will have a great negative impact on Firefly's future financing behavior. "

"Everyone must be like this?" Eric looked at several other people and smiled: "Actually, I did this. I just want others to take what will happen later as a revenge. I Wanting Marvel Entertainment is more urgent than you all think. This purpose no longer needs to be hidden from everyone, and everyone will find it in the future. In order to get Marvel, provoking the current one will not have any substance for Firefly. The affected farce is definitely worth it. "

Although Marvel Entertainment is a listed company, it is similar to Metro Goldwyn Mayer ’s shareholding model. Most of Marvel Entertainment ’s shares are also controlled by Ron Perelman ’s Andrews holding group.

If you want to get Marvel, it is impossible to absorb Marvel Entertainment shares from public channels. The only way is to openly acquire Marvel Entertainment. If other companies do this, Ron Perelman will definitely decisively throw away this mess that has a large amount of debt and has been losing money for years. Even Michael Jackson almost became a potential buyer of Marvel. However, Firefly alone is not good, because Firefly's current performance is too eye-catching. Once Firefly publicly initiates an acquisition offer, it is tantamount to telling others clearly that I like some of Marvel's role copyright, come and grab me Ah, the results can be imagined.

It is conceivable that while competitors join the bid to increase the Marvel purchase price, savvy businessmen like Ron Perelman will certainly not miss this opportunity. Once the determination of Firefly is bound to be determined, Ron Perelman will definitely take the opportunity to open the lion ’s mouth. At that time, Firefly may once again welcome an individual shareholder with a low shareholding ratio. Look at the mess just knows of Marvel. Such a shareholder is definitely not what any company wants to see.

Inspired by Ron Perelman's attempt to enter Firefly Board of Directors as a creditor, after more than a month of secret deployment, Eric determined that the chips they obtained at this time can definitely let Ron Perelman spit out Marvel obediently, even without a second path Can go.

"Since everyone has no opinion," Eric finished speaking just now, and when he saw that no one in the conference room was saying anything, he continued: "So, let's start discussing how to end this farce." To be continued.)
