"Ron, I am a professional Manager, not a capital player," Avi · Arad pointed to the obsolete office supplies in the conference room and said: "Look at what you have done over the years, you just know nothing Squeeze any trace of residual value of Marvel sparingly. Many people have gone in recent years. The company has no vitality and is also carrying huge debts. If it continues, Marvel will definitely die. I am just saving this company. Isn't it right? "
Ron · Perelman appeared a little scornful, but immediately retorted angrily: "But you should not betray me, if you have any opinions, you can discuss with me."
Avi · Arad heard the words Ron · Perelman, and almost wanted to laugh out loud: "Ron, don't you really remember, how many times have I 'discussed' with you almost like a supplication? "
I do n’t know if it ’s embarrassing or embarrassing. Ron · Perelman bursts of blood, and it is almost incoherent to emphasize again: "You ... do n’t forget, I am the owner of this company."
"not anymore," Avi · Arad suddenly had no interest in talking with Ron · Perelman, and dropped this sentence coldly, and also walked out of the meeting room.
After more than half an hour, Katzenberg, Avi · Arad, Ron · Perelman and their respective lawyers gathered in another meeting room of Marvel.
As if I did n’t find the Ron · Perelman that once again became more aggressive after packing up my emotions, Katzenberg opened a stack of thick documents that were temporarily sorted out last night and opened the door: “Ron, now you have two options. First , Private settlement, Andrews holding company paid a sum of money, bought all Marvel circulating shares in the market at the current stock price, and then implemented a 100% debt-to-equity swap strategy, handing Marvel to us, I personally think this is to solve the current The best way for the situation. "
When I heard the cold hum of Ron · Perelman, Katzenberg didn't mind. Continuing in a cold, formal tone, said: "Then, second, we will apply to the SEC to investigate the Andrews holding company's infringement of Marvel debt financing. Although this investigation and subsequent litigation will be protracted, no matter how long it is delayed When all the evidence is conclusive, you still have to refund all the debt financing that encroached on the Marvel, and you will also face huge fines from the SEC. I assure you that there is no 1billion USD, you do n’t want to understand this lawsuit, and spend this 1billion USD , I think you are not far from bankruptcy. "
A middle-aged man sitting beside Ron · Perelman said: "Mr. Katzenberg, can I think of you as intimidating my client?"
Katzenberg glanced at the lawyer of Ron · Perelman and said with a smile: "You should know that I am making movies, so don't use the lines that are common in movies on this occasion, it will look like you. Very unprofessional. "
Middle-aged people obviously have the basic cheeks of lawyers. Do not mind the sarcasm of Katzenberg, insisted: "Mr. Katzenberg, you did not answer my question."
Katzenberg shrugged and said: "I did not intimidate your client, I am just telling a basic fact and some determination of Firefly Group."
Ron · Perelman blocked private lawyers who wanted to continue to say something to Katzenberg: "Jeffrey, I will not choose either of these two conditions. Do n’t forget, the bankruptcy protection period of Marvel is one month, as long as Able to come up with a reasonable solution to this matter within a month. Marvel is still mine, no one wants to take it away. "
"Yes, it's a month, but ..." Katzenberg said contemptuously: "You can't come up with any way to bring Marvel back to life. Because the current Marvel, it is just an empty shell. , In addition to the toy department can barely run, Marvel Films, empty shell; Marvel TV, empty shell; music department. Empty shell; even the basic of Marvel, comics department, responsible for "XX-Men", "Fantastic Four" two years ago 》 The seven main pens created by the most popular comics are all gone, and now they are no different from the empty shell. Mr. Ron · Perelman, please tell me, how do you plan to bring Marvel back to life? ”
Ron · Perelman shouted at Katzenberg without hesitation: "Do n’t think I do n’t know, Firefly Group does n’t care what you say, what you really want is just Superhero copyright under Marvel, I tell you, you It will definitely not succeed, I would rather sell Marvel to any third party with one USD, and not to Firefly. "
The very hot temper Katzenberg also raised his voice: "But you do n’t have the authority to sell Marvel-USD to a third party at this time, because the Federal Court will not allow you to make such a move that harms the interests of creditors, Even if you want to sell it, you can only sell it to Firefly. "
"Don't think about it, I'm the only one who grabs things from other people, and no one should **** things that belong to me."
"Do you think it is still in the 1980s, go to Xiacheng District to see it, Drexel Burnham Lambert has long since ceased to exist, no-save-there-now!"
"..."
"..."
The very unfriendly meeting soon broke out into a fierce quarrel. When the two sides were almost fighting each other, the onlookers such as Avi · Arad recovered and quickly pulled Katzenberg and Ron · Perelman away .
Falling all over the office frantically, Ron · Perelman finally calmed down and left the Marvel Headquarters without any greetings with lawyers and assistants.
When I was in Eric of Los Angeles, I was worried about things for the first time because of the quarrel again. The Avi · Arad phone was informed of the conflict between the two, but they were not too worried. If you want to use gentle means After winning Marvel, Eric could have assigned Frank · Wells to take charge of this matter, but doing so would only allow Ron · Perelman to get in the right position. Katzenberg's strong and violent personality just happens to restrain Ron · Perelman's insatiable greed.
After the first negotiation broke up, Ron · Perelman did not continue to contact Firefly, but immediately flew to Los Angeles, trying to once again transfer the burden of Marvel, which is destined to remain, to Hollywood several big Film Studio, but all eyes Hollywood who is concerned about Disney Animation Department still ignores Ron · Perelman. Even the realization that it is impossible to get Panasonic's support for the acquisition of Animation Department's Michael · Eisner did not mean anything, because he also regretted that Japanese would not support Universal because Marvel and Firefly broke out.
After that, Ron · Perelman still tried hard to explore some companies interested in the entertainment industry. But most of the weaker companies do not want to provoke the capital power represented by the first and second richest people of United States at the same time. Companies with sufficient strength also realize that if they want to solve the Marvel dilemma, they need to invest hundreds of millions of USD funds, but even if they grab the Marvel and want to develop the Marvel movie copyright, they still cannot do without the support of Hollywood. As the biggest ground snake in Hollywood, Firefly will definitely not let them outsiders who have robbed their ‘prey’ have a good life, and in the end, it will still outweigh the gains.
In desperation, Ron · Perelman even woke up with the idea of the long-term Firefly bond.
But in the end it still ca n’t be solved, let alone that the bond of Andrews holding company is only worth 400 million USD, it is impossible to make up for the shortfall of Marvel, and realized the recent embarrassment of Ron · Perelman, investment companies that intend to take over the bond offer One family is lower than the other, and the highest bid is also 10% off. A few months of change is the loss of 40 million USD. Ron · Perelman is also difficult to accept.
After more than a week, Firefly seemed to have no urgency at all, but Ron · Perelman found himself in a desperate situation.
Continuing the stalemate, after a month of bankruptcy protection period and still unable to produce any feasible corporate restructuring measures, Marvel will face forced bankruptcy liquidation.
Early in the early morning of August 21st, Avi · Arad just sat in his office and received a call from Ron · Perelman. Some hoarse voice in the microphone barely supported the last strong point: "I don't want to see Jeffrey · again. Katzenberg, I want to personally interview Eric Williams. "(To be continued.)
