When I see Elizabeth, I still have to ask. Eric shook his head and said, "Do n’t ask about this, you ca n’t tell clearly now, but the dish of Marvel is very large, and the Firefly family will definitely not be able to eat it. All share. "
After listening to the **** of Eric, Elizabeth, who had no plans to continue this topic, heard him say this, but instead he was curious again. He could n’t even eat Firefly. How great is the potential of Marvel.
Just about to continue to ask, a waiter hurried to Eric and said something in his ear.
Eric nodded to the waiter and said to Elizabeth: "Come with me and greet the guests."
Elizabeth stood up and asked, "Who is it?"
Eric raised her arm towards Elizabeth, and waited for the girl to hold herself, and said, "Warner's Terry · Semel, so be more intimate."
Elizabeth immediately guessed the intention of Eric. If the two of them are intimate, Terry · Semel from Disney Animation Department will definitely reassess the competitiveness of Fox, and Firefly will get a higher price.
"Hum, you actually used me," Elizabeth complained a little, but still leaned on Eric obediently, and the two greeted them together.
Terry · Semel gray hair, with a pair of frameless glasses, has the scholarly temperament of some scholars. Although he was in his early fifties, he has been working in Warner for nearly two decades and is one of several important successors trained by Steve · Ross.
It's just that after the death of Steve · Ross, Terry · Semel, who became Time Warner CEO through some fierce internal competition, has not had a good time in recent days. On the big side, after Firefly and ABC mergers and acquisitions, Warner was immediately kicked down by Firefly to sit firmly on the throne of media supremacy for many years. On the small side, when the total Box Office broke through the hot summer record of Hollywood Box Office again, Time Warner's film and television business went against the trend and reached the lowest level of Time Warner film and television business in many years. All of these have resulted in Terry · Semel receiving tremendous pressure from all quarters almost every day recently.
When I heard that Firefly was about to sell Disney Animation Department, Terry · Semel immediately realized that this was a great opportunity to get rid of the current dilemma. The starting price of 100 million USD from Firefly is not a big deal for Time Warner with a scale of 10 billion USD. But if you can win the animation department, Time Warner can immediately open the animation film market that has never been successfully developed in the past. This will also be very good news for him personally.
After Terry · Semel got off the bus, he saw Eric walking towards himself, just about to prepare to meet him, he noticed Elizabeth beside Eric. In recent years, Murdoch's outstanding daughter's performance in Hollywood is obvious to all. Terry · Semel also vaguely heard that Elizabeth is closely related to Eric. But with the higher status of Eric, the fear and influence of him, the media reports about his private life are less and less, Terry · Semel really do not know what the relationship between the two is.
Seeing Elizabeth intimately holding Eric's arm, Terry · Semel's eyes narrowed suddenly. If the relationship between Eric and Elizabeth is a lover, it will become a big variable for Warner to acquire Disney Animation Department. After all, Fox will certainly not easily let this opportunity pass.
Eric noticed the change in the expression of Terry · Semel, smiled at the corner of his mouth, and took the initiative to reach out to the other party: "Mr. Semel, welcome to Cliff Peak Manor."
Terry · Semel quickly put away their thoughts to deal with Eric, and warmly greeted Elizabeth, and the three of them walked towards the villa.
"Eric, can you talk alone?" Entertain the guests in the lobby. Terry · Semel whispered to Eric.
Eric knows that Terry · Semel just wants to win Animation Department before the public auction, and perhaps also wants to bargain on copyright of animations such as "The Lion King". Anyway, Animation Department is a private property of Firefly. In what form is it sold? Eric means.
However, Animation Department was originally just the bait that Eric put out to attract Hollywood's attention. Before successfully winning Marvel, he did not intend to have any entanglement with several other majors in this regard. Just looking for an excuse to refuse Terry · Semel, just Hearing someone report that Paramount's CEO Sherry · Lansing also arrived at Cliff Peak Manor.
"Sorry, Mr. Semel. I need to pick up someone, maybe we can make another appointment," Eric apologized to Terry · Semel, and walked out of the villa with Elizabeth again.
There are no permanent enemies in business. Although Redstone did not come forward in person due to the contradiction in the process of competing for Disney, he still sent Sherry · Lansing, Paramount CEO, to party, which is very sensitive to the timing of many people.
After Sherry · Lansing, many important people of Hollywood also came to the scene one after another. Under the circumstances of everyone's thoughts, they failed to contact Eric alone.
Although party did not invite reporters on site. But the scene of Cliff Peak Manor's competition meant that it was immediately transmitted the next day. Subsequently, Eric simply let people publish the list of Animation Department assets to be auctioned and related information on the Yahoo website, which caused another heated discussion.
The focus of the media's attention is mainly on the auction price of 100 million USD, which looks very low. You know, just a "The Lion King", the net profit brought to Firefly in the next few years will not be less than 100 million USD.
“In order to resist the invasion of capital by selling Disney Animation Department, Eric Williams has undoubtedly made a very crazy, willful and stupid decision. Although the Box Office output value of Disney Animation Department is very low in the entire Firefly Group system, do n’t forget that Disney Its amusement parks, surrounding shops and franchise businesses all need the locomotive effect of Disney animation. The success of The Lion King's Box Office has further proved the unlimited economic potential of Disney animation owners. It is difficult to imagine where the Disney brand will go without Disney Animation Department . "
"Although we have no way of knowing the intention of Eric Williams to abandon Disney Animation Department, the auction pricing of 100 million USD shows the savvyness of Firefly Group. This low pricing strategy will undoubtedly attract more investors interested in acquiring Disney Animation Department. In the auction process, more intense competition has occurred. At present, the three major Hollywood local giants Time Warner, Viacom and News Corp have already expressed their strong interest in Disney Animation Department. The French Vivendi group and Canada Seagram group who intend to enter Hollywood have also begun to join the Firefly executive Close contact, according to the estimates of the first Boston bank analysts. The final auction price of Disney Animation Department is likely to exceed 200 million USD and will be more than double the Firefly offer. "
"Walt · Disney's nephew Roy · Disney publicly criticized Eric Williams's practice of wantonly obliterating the spirit of Disney, claiming that he lost Disney Animation Department, and the idea of Walt · Disney's will also disappear. Walt · Disney's daughter Diana · Disney · Miller In an interview with 《Los Angeles Times》. I also expressed extreme disappointment with the decision of Firefly Group. "
"Eric Williams's film and television management skills have been proven countless times, so I think everyone should have a good reason to pay attention to another thing that happened at the same time as the sale of Animation Department by Firefly, that is why Firefly is so aggressive. Take Marvel Entertainment from Wall Street investor Ron · Perelman. Although most media are inclined to retaliate Firefly Group's retaliation for Ron · Perelman fan Firefly creditor behavior, but with Eric Williams excellent business performance in recent years. I absolutely do not believe this young Hollywood The tycoon will be willing to spend hundreds of millions of USD funds to retaliate his enemies, not to mention, the whole thing is obviously carefully planned, and even the legendary investor Warren Buffett is involved. This evidence is enough to prove that the whole thing is not revenge. Perhaps, Marvel Entertainment is more important in the eyes of Eric Williams than the Disney Animation Department that created "The Lion King." If this is the case, if there is any courageous investor who dares to rob Marvel at this time, there will no doubt be unexpected gains. "
Ron · Perelman sat in his luxury car and silently turned over a thick stack of today's newspaper. In a piece of news about Firefly's upcoming sale of Animation Department, I finally saw someone mentioning Marvel, and the chapter on the "Manhattan Morning Post" was almost entirely consistent with his recent speculation about a series of Marvel encounters.
However, Ron · Perelman did not have any excitement to find a confidant, because two days ago, the New York District Court quickly approved the forced bankruptcy protection expression proposed by the Marvel creditors with stupefying efficiency. Subsequently, in Marvel CEO Avi · With the cooperation of Arad, the Marvel creditors represented by Katzenberg quickly controlled Marvel Board of Directors.
Luxury cars slowly stopped outside Marvel Headquarters on 5th Street, Zhongcheng District, Manhattan, and Ron · Perelman got off the bus. Take the assistant into the Marvel office building.
It happened to be working time. Several Marvel staff members were waiting for the elevator in the corner of the hall. When they saw Ron · Perelman walk in, they were whispering and stopped immediately. Crawl around Ron · Perelman and walk towards the safety stairs.
Most people of Ron · Perelman as early as just knows Marvel disliked him very much. If it was before, he would not care about these little people at all, but today, Ron · Perelman looked at the Marvel staff who avoided him like the **** of plague. Suddenly there was a strong anger in my heart.
Clenched his fist, Ron · Perelman said to the assistant beside him coldly: "Neil, go to write down the names of those people, and then notify the personnel department to let them all get out."
Assistant Neil glanced at the almost hysterical Boss, and wanted to remind him, Ron · Perelman has roared: "Do you even want to resist me, I am still the owner of Marvel!"
Neil doesn't dare to hesitate and quickly walks towards the safety stairs.
When I came to the floor where Marvel Entertainment Headquarters was located, Ron · Perelman found that all the lights in the corridor were still on. Some people in the meeting room not far away were holding documents in and out, and felt inappropriate Ron · Perelman to speed up the pace Walking into the meeting room, I found that Jeffrey · Katzenberg, Avi · Arad and others are all present, and it is obvious that those who are looking at various reports and financial data are either lawyers or accountants.
The Katzenberg with light dark circles heard the prompts from the people around him, raised his head from the pile of pieces, saw the arrival of Ron · Perelman, raised his hand and looked at the watch, suddenly said: "It is already nine o'clock."
In this way, Katzenberg stood up from the seat and stretched his body, told the assistant to prepare breakfast for himself, and then walked straight to the door. Ron · Perelman had expected Firefly to control Marvel as soon as possible. Marvel's financial situation started, but I did not expect that Katzenberg had led people to review the financial documents of Marvel overnight, without any notice at all. This made his just suppressed anger burst out again and saw Katzenberg Going to myself, Ron · Perelman gritted his teeth and said: "You did not get my permission. This is illegal. I will protest to the Federal Court. I will definitely."
Katzenberg came to Ron · Perelman with some stiff neck, and did n’t mind the threat of Ron · Perelman. He took a few shots on his shoulder and said, "Go to protest, Ron. However, before this, I I think we have to talk about it first, such as the 470 million USD thing. "
Katzenberg dropped these words and left the meeting room, but a chill came out of the heart of Ron · Perelman. The number that Katzenberg said casually was exactly the same as the amount of his encroachment on Marvel debt financing. This probably means that in just one night, Firefly has mastered enough things. He just didn't know that Firefly had roughly grasped these data before launching the offensive against Marvel. Without sufficient evidence, the New York District Court could not approve the bankruptcy protection application of Marvel creditors so quickly. What Katzenberg did at this time was just to find the exact evidence from the internal documents of Marvel.
Unable to attack Katzenberg, Ron · Perelman was unwilling to point his finger at Marvel CEO Avi · Arad: "Avi, why did you betray me, do n’t forget, I support you to get Marvel CEO?"
