Chapter Eight Hundred and Sixty-Two Finally Won Marvel
The financial crisis in the United States has just passed, and the eight major Hollywood companies have suffered heavy losses. In addition, they bought the Huaxia Cinemas, so there is not much liquidity that everyone can control. MGM only borrowed so much money by patchwork.
"Is there any higher?"
The auctioneer asked three times in a row, but no one made any further bids. Kerry's face flashed with surprise, but his eyes were secretly turned to Xiao Yunhai, for fear that he would suddenly raise the number plate.
"I'm giving $19 billion."
A loud voice shocked Kerry all over, and his eyes turned like electricity towards the guy who weighed at least two hundred pounds.
"Leander, the behind-the-scenes boss of Thunder Pictures." Kerry said through gritted teeth.
At this time, his face was extremely ugly, because Leander's price had exceeded Kerry's bottom line of 18.5 billion US dollars.
Just when Kerry was almost pissed off by Leander, another rich man raised a sign.
"$19.5 billion."
Kerry scolded softly: "Damn, these birdmen are too cruel, they all exceed the market value of 3.5 billion. Are they not afraid of losing?"
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "Aren't you going to bid?"
"It's a shit, I don't have that much money." Kerry said, suddenly realized something, and said, "Xiao, you don't want to get involved. The price seems to be a lot more expensive."
Xiao Yunhai shrugged and said, "But it doesn't exceed my bottom line."
After speaking, Xiao Yunhai held up the sign and shouted, "I'll make it up for everyone,
$20 billion. "
After this price was said, the scene suddenly became quiet.
Twenty billion is really not a small amount. Even a world-class billionaire should carefully consider whether Marvel Comics is worth the price.
"Twenty billion dollars, Xiao Yunhai has now made twenty billion dollars, is there anything higher than him?"
"There are countless superheroes under Marvel Comics. Once it is made into a movie in the future, it is likely to be popular all over the world. This is a very good opportunity. Twenty billion is definitely not the limit. Is there anything higher than it?"
Xiao Yunhai looked at the auctioneer who was chatting there and shouted: "Sir, you are indeed a very good auctioneer. But can we be faster? You talk there for a minute, maybe we will wait a while. It will cost an extra billion or two billion dollars, will you give us this money?"
"Pfft."
"Hahaha."
When everyone heard Xiao Yunhai's complaint, they couldn't help laughing, and the tense atmosphere was instantly swept away.
The auctioneer smiled and said, "It seems that Mr. Xiao is in a hurry. Well, let me ask you one last time, is there a price higher than $20 billion?"
"Twenty billion dollars at a time."
"Twenty billion dollars twice."
"Two billion dollars three times."
"Congratulations to Mr. Xiao for becoming the new owner of Marvel Comics."
Kerry stood up, hugged Xiao Yunhai fiercely, and said, "Xiao, at noon today, I'm going to your house for dinner, and I must eat you poor."
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "Of course there is no problem."
At this point, the entire auction is over.
Everyone got up and walked out. When An Ge walked to Xiao Yunhai, he suddenly stretched out his hand and said with a smile, "Mr. Xiao, congratulations on winning Marvel Comics."
Xiao Yunhai smiled slightly, shook hands with him, and said, "Thank you."
Angel said: "I hope we can have the opportunity to work together."
"Most definitely."
Ange's approach seemed to have taken off. Representatives of other film companies also came over one after another and got close to Xiao Yunhai, which made Xiao Yunhai very puzzled, and some did not understand what they meant.
Half an hour later, Xiao Yunhai returned to the villa with Kerry with a series of contracts from "Star of Hope" and Marvel Comics.
"Hello, Kerry, long time no see." Zhao Wanqing said to Kerry with a smile.
Kerry said: "Wanqing, you are still so beautiful. I heard that you have children in your belly, or twins, so congratulations."
Zhao Wanqing smiled and said, "Thank you. Lunch is ready, let's go over together."
"Is it Chinese cuisine?"
"Of course, my mother cooked it herself."
"Then I'm so lucky."
"As long as you don't dislike the dishes I cook, it's fine." Yan Piaoyun walked in and smiled.
Xiao Yunhai introduced: "This is my mother-in-law, Ms. Yan Piaoyun."
Kerry said in surprise: "Auntie, you are too young. I can't believe that you are Wanqing's mother. I think my sister is about the same."
Yan Piaoyun said with a smile, "You have passed the prize."
The four came to the restaurant, Xiao Yunhai took out Moutai and drank it with Kerry.
Zhao Wanqing asked, "Yunhai, how was the auction this morning?"
Xiao Yunhai smiled and said, "Everything went well. I bought Marvel Comics for $20 billion."
"Twenty billion dollars?" Zhao Wanqing asked in surprise, "Can you make this money back?"
Xiao Yunhai said confidently: "Of course. Once the movies of superheroes like Spider-Man, Batman, Superman, Thor, and Hulk are made, they will definitely take the world by storm. It's not difficult to make 20 billion."
Kerry smiled and said, "Xiao, what I admire most about you is that you are always confident. Do you know why Anger and the others came to greet you when they were leaving?"
Xiao Yunhai shook his head and said, "Why?"
Kerry said: "They want to cooperate with you."
"impossible."
Xiao Yunhai spent so much money to buy Marvel, naturally it is impossible for others to get a share of the pie. Not even Kerry, who is best with him.
Kerry seemed to know what Xiao Yunhai was thinking, and said, "Xiao, they don't want to cooperate with you to invest in movies, they want you to use their company's actors. Once they become the protagonists of a series of movies, the actors will definitely be able to soar into the sky. , the company will naturally benefit a lot.”
Xiao Yunhai suddenly realized and said, "So it is."
If these superheroes are made into movies, they will definitely use Hollywood actors. After all, they are Western heroes, and it is impossible to find Eastern actors to play them.
Xiao Yunhai does not have his own company in Hollywood, so he naturally has to look for suitable actors throughout Hollywood. If they can have a good relationship with him, these entertainment companies will naturally have a lot of opportunities.
Thinking of this, Xiao Yunhai suddenly looked at Kerry and said with a half-smile, "You kid wouldn't have this idea in your heart, right?"
Kerry exclaimed: "How is it possible, I am such a person. Besides, just because of our relationship, do I need to be as close to you as they do? If something good happens, you will definitely think of me, is not it?"
Xiao Yunhai rolled his eyes and said angrily, "Your kid's face is really thick now."
Kerry giggled and said: "There is an idiom in China called "close to vermilion is red, and close to ink is black. I have known you for a long time, and I will be influenced by you to some extent."
