For Disney and Comcast or other media empires, the allure of Marvel animation, which is making money today, is unparalleled, and its bright prospects are long-term optimistic.
In particular, Marvel Animation holds more than 3,000 superhero series IPs, as well as today's popular movie series "Iron Man", "Lord of the Rings", "Fast and Furious", "Death Comes", "Harry Potter", etc., In the box office of the world market, everyone is looking forward to it, and the salivation is more than a foot long.
In the past two years, various tentative acquisition attempts have never stopped, and the quotations have also been refurbished.
For the American media industry empire that can get involved in Marvel Animation, Marvel Animation is the legend of an ugly duckling turning into a white swan. The market value continues to grow with the deepening of development, and the right to speak and importance also rises.
There is no doubt that this is a gold-edged asset.
With the "Harry Potter" series of films raging at the box office in film markets around the world, the market value of Marvel Animation officially broke through the 100 billion US dollar mark, reaching a high of 110.6 billion US dollars.
While the Royal Family Fund holds more than 80% of the shares in Marvel Animation, the chairman of the fund, Wang Yaocheng, has an ambiguous attitude towards mergers and acquisitions, which adds to the market's imagination.
Wang Yaocheng's real thoughts are:
It's a price to sell, to be a big boss hidden behind the scenes, and to exert a major influence on the media industry through capital.
The reason why there is no action is nothing more than that the other party's offer is not high enough.
? In the past few years, the Royal Family Fund has already established a presence in the media industry, with extensive and far-reaching influence.
The consortium holds no less than 6% of the shares of World News Corporation through the Cisco transaction and continuous investment thereafter, maintains a long-term friendly relationship with Mr. Murdoch, and maintains three seats on the board of directors.
After Disney acquired Pixar Animation for US$7.4 billion, Jobs, the original controlling shareholder of Pixar Animation, became the largest individual shareholder. Wang Yaocheng ranked third, and also maintained a seat on the board of directors of Disney Company.
In addition, in Microsoft's acquisition of Yahoo, Time Warner Group boss Ted Terra stepped in to participate in the joint acquisition, paying 7.5% of the equity.
Therefore, Wang Yaocheng has extensive influence in the North American media industry. Ordinary reporters and TV commentators no longer wink or dare to speak out against the boss.
?In the reports involving the Wang consortium companies, most of them took an impartial stance so as not to be singled out for their faults. Although this boss is not the chairman of the board of directors, it is a matter of minutes to put on shoes for a reporter or TV commentator.
In Wang Yaocheng's view, this is far from enough.
He intends to form a substantive right to speak in the North American media industry through the Marvel Animation deal, similar to what the Mitsui Consortium did to form a shadow empire.
Say one thousand, say ten thousand.
Whether it's Disney, Comcast, Time Warner or other buyers, it's nothing more than an equity plus cash deal to win Marvel Animation, which gives Wang Yaocheng a chance to pick and choose.
"Hello, Chairman!"
Xie Yi walked in respectfully, Wang Yaocheng looked at him kindly, and nodded appreciatively: "Xie Yi, long time no see, I am very satisfied with your work."
"Thank you, Chairman, for your compliment."
Shay's back molars were all exposed when he smiled, so he was very happy.
"Sit down and talk, what's your business?"
"Uh The third part of the Harry Potter series has been filmed and is about to enter the post-production stage. The performance of this film is also brilliant, and the box office is worth looking forward to."
"Well."
"The producer assistant Ms. Ivanka performed very well. I intend to ask her to share more work in the subsequent film production. I think she is very talented in this area and can do it very well."
"Well."
Xie Yi took a peek at Chairman Wang Yaocheng's face, seeing that he was carefree and joyless and could not see anything, and felt a little uncertain.
He hesitated for a while, and said after considering the words:
"Chairman, recently, Disney, Comcast, and Time Warner have contacted me successively, trying to find out the chairman's attitude towards Marvel animation, and plan to formally make an offer"
