    "Are you coming to acquire?" Katzenberg was stunned at that time. He knew that Jia Hongjian was rich, but was Jia Hongjian so rich?  Do you keep billions of dollars in the bank just in case?  real or fake?  Too exaggerated?  This is not really strange because Katzenberg is rare, but this kind of thing is really rare in the United States!  Not to mention the United States, even in China at this time, many people have some spare money and start investing in some financial products or investing in the stock market and other things. Generally, they just keep a little money at home just in case of emergencies!  In the United States, ordinary people don¡¯t even have emergency money.  Their pre-consumption economy means that people basically don¡¯t have much spare money!  As for a company, it will of course be much more comfortable. Generally speaking, a company has a certain amount of liquidity for daily turnover, and apart from a little emergency money, basically everything else needs to be invested.  Regardless of whether the investment is to expand reproduction or to invest in other fields of other companies, it must always be invested, because the meaning of the existence of a company like this is to continuously make money!  So when you have extra spare money, you must use it to make money. This is in line with the nature of an organization like the company!

    So Katzenberg can¡¯t understand how Jia Hongjian has about 3 billion to buy Marvel!  This sounds unreasonable!  If the money is China Hi-Tech's money, then why doesn't Hua Xia Hi-Tech invest the money?  If the money belongs to the Jia family, then why don¡¯t the Jia family invest the money?  Could it be that Jia Hongjian and the others had already planned to acquire some companies at this time?  Just when Katzenberg was confused, Jia Hongjian seemed to see his doubts, and he explained with a smile: "At the end of 2006 and the beginning of 2007, didn't I withdraw from many investment fields?  Investments in companies such as PetroChina, Sinopec, and BlackBerry have now increased many times. We, China Hi-tech, have received tens of billions of dollars in funding at once. It will not take half a year to invest all of this money, and starting in March, the United States  Isn¡¯t it a bit of a subprime mortgage crisis, so there aren¡¯t any good investment opportunities¡­¡±

    This is not Jia Hongjian making excuses, this is true!  With tens of billions of investment profits in hand, to be honest, you really can¡¯t just invest randomly.  Because don¡¯t forget that the current world in the United States is a subprime mortgage crisis!  Various fields are not suitable for investment, so where should he invest?  So for Jia Hongjian, he must control risks.  Don't forget that as a reborn person, we finally made money by seizing the historical opportunity, but if we look back and invest indiscriminately without looking at the situation, we will lose money again!  Therefore, we really haven¡¯t invested much yet, that is, the company¡¯s venture capital department has invested a little bit, but in terms of tracking profits, it¡¯s still a drop in the bucket!  Therefore, if Jia Hongjian wanted to make an acquisition, the funds would be very convenient, and there would be no need to divert working capital or anything like that.

    Listen to Jia Hongjian¡¯s explanation.  Katzenberg was immediately relieved.  Although after such an acquisition, Marvel is not a direct subsidiary of DreamWorks, but after all, it is still a brother company of the same boss, right?  By then, there will definitely be more interactions between each other than other families. If Marvel needs it, it can keep the wealth from going to others!  It will be beneficial to everyone then!  Even when Jia Hongjian merges Marvel into DreamWorks, after equity dilution, Jia Hongjian will definitely have more equity, and Katzenberg and others will definitely have less, but he doesn't care about this.  After all, this will form a huge cultural and creative enterprise by then.  Comics, animations and live-action movies all in one package, how awesome is this?  You can even set up your own game company in the future.  Let¡¯s make a Marvel game!  How cool is this?  At that time, we will really embark on another Disney path!  It¡¯s not impossible to even build a Marvel superhero theme park in the future!

    With Katzenberg¡¯s support, Jia Hongjian was determined to acquire the company, and soon he called Marvel¡¯s fat white president over for an interview.  When this fat white man came to the parking lot under the DreamWorks office building, he stayed alone in the car for 5 minutes.  He didn't listen to music or make phone calls, he just sat in the car and thought about something.  He was taking deep breaths.  He knew this meeting could affect the fate of their Marvel!  He knew that at such a time period, that was Marvel's best opportunity to change their destiny. If they couldn't seize it, God would destroy them!

    In the past, Marvel has been unable to beat Warner and their DC.  In the 1980s, Warner and DC relied on Batman and Superman to make a lot of money from making movies!  But at that time, Marvel¡¯s film and television rights were so low that no one came up to ask for the price!  Marvel does not have a boss behind it. In front of DC and Warner, they were just an existence that could only make comics and sell copyrights to make TV cartoons. The difference in quality was simply heaven and earth!  In the end, I finally managed to sell the filming rights of several films so cheaply that they were almost free. As a result, they were delayed in starting filming and would rather lose money than film!  This is really??It made Marvel back then so depressed that they vomited blood!  Then finally, three movies were about to be filmed. As a result, "Doctor Strange" in 1978 and "The Incredible Hulk" in 1990 were made into TV movies, and "Captain America" ??in 1979 went directly to the home video market!

    What is a TV movie?  TV movies are just like "The Battle of the Pacific" and "Band of Brothers" broadcast on H-wave. They are just one-hour episodes and require a larger investment!  Even though the technique may be similar to that of a movie, after all, it is still broadcast on TV, not in a theater!  And "Captain America" ??directly entered the home video market. It even gave up showing it on TV stations and went directly to the rental market!  This is even lower level!  You must know that here in the United States, there are all kinds of movies that are not qualified to be shown in theaters or to be visited in various theaters for a few days, so they are mainly focused on the rental market!

    By the end of the 1990s, Warner suddenly stopped its copyrighted movie theaters such as Superman and Batman. This gave Marvel a marketing opportunity and gave Marvel a chance to turn around!  So they quickly took advantage of this opportunity and sold the rights to Spider-Man and X-Men at a loss!  For example, when Jia Hongjian and the others bought DC's Batman filming rights, they were limited in time and number of parts. It stipulated four movies in 12 years. If the time or number passed, the copyright would return to DC!  But Marvel is different.  Back then, in order to quickly develop their own market while taking advantage of the DC Freeze movie version of superhero films, they sold X-Men to 20th Century Fox and Spider-Man to Sony Pictures. That was really unfair.  Sold as a treaty!  What do these unequal treaties look like?  Specifically, it is an authorization with no limited time limit!

    For example, in the X-Men series, as long as 20th Century Fox does not make another series or spin-off of such a film within 7 years, then the copyright will automatically return to Marvel.  Then what.  If 20th Century Fox has been filming for a while, finds that the market is not good, and doesn¡¯t want to film anymore, but it doesn¡¯t want to wait 7 years and then return the copyright for free, so the contract stipulates that 20th Century Fox can take the initiative to offer a price for Marvel to redeem it.  Return the film and television adaptation rights of X-Men!  Sony¡¯s Spider-Man is almost the same!  Otherwise, how could Sony have been able to make three Batman movies in the first few years of the 21st century, and then make another three episodes a few years later with different actors, directors, and plots?  On the one hand, making money is just a matter of making money, but on the other hand, I don¡¯t want to return the copyright to Marvel if I don¡¯t make movies for a few years!  This would be quite unequal!  It¡¯s not even just these two copyrights, the others are like Daredevil.  Soul Chariot, Blade Runner, and The Punisher. These were all from the late 20th century to the early 21st century. In order to seize the historical opportunities, the president at the time gave the copyrights to those film companies in a way that was almost prodigal, just to be able to  Let Marvel also get involved in live-action movies!  After these films are produced, Marvel will also get a share.  Although the profit share is small, it is still better than the previous efforts in the TV market and video tape market, right?

    But when Fatty Bai was sent as a commissioner to cooperate with various film and television companies as a producer.  He discovered that there was something wrong with such a strategy!  Why is something wrong?  Because this fat white man, as a commissioner of Marvel, was responsible for all the plots and backgrounds of all the superheroes under their company. As a result, after he was sent to cooperate with various film and television companies, he discovered that the Jews in such companies were so special.  It really doesn¡¯t respect the original work!  You must know that in the United States, in various financial and film and television fields, Jews are basically either bosses or various high-level elites.  When these people treat "subcultures" such as comics and animation.  There is an unspoken rule, which is "de-originalization". In short, top Hollywood filmmakers and film company executives don't take Marvel's or other copyrights seriously at all.  Don¡¯t take the original work seriously either!  They are all elites, and they are all Jews who are good at business. How can they create a drama movie that is very consistent with the original work?  So how do they show their abilities?  If it just needs to be the same as the original work, then not everyone can do it?  Where is their presence?

    Even though they know that the biggest audience for these films may be teenagers and various otakus, they just deliberately ignore this and want to make various changes!  And the name is euphemistic - we are doing this to expand the potential audience, so that people of all ages and hobbies can enjoy these movies.  As a result, Marvel's "Daredevil", "Fantastic Four", and "Ghost Rider" were changed beyond recognition by the producers and will be in disgrace forever. The worldviews of "Spider-Man" and "X-Men" also deviated more and more from their own visions.  the further away.  And at this moment, Jia Hongjian came on stage with Batman who was frozen by DC!  Although Jia Hongjian has also greatly adapted the plot of the original work, it is obviously an adaptation that is more exciting than the original work!  Fatty Bai himself admits that the adaptation by Jia Hongjian and Nolan is an adaptation so that people of more age groups can appreciate it!  Because the various villains' various decent performances and thoughts are becoming more and more like reality.People of the world, not just those in the comic book world who save to save the world and destroy to destroy the world!  This is a good adaptation!

    ¡°Then when I saw Jia Hongjian and the others with this Batman theme, it was really a hit and the box office was full. At that time, Fatty Bai knew that he was a bad guy!  Why?  Because Jia Hongjian and the others have done it so well, although it has fully proved that Sony and their Spider-Man have a North American box office of 300 million US dollars, which is far from the upper limit of the box office of comic book adaptation movies, it will also attract the attention of DC and Warner!  Looking back, DC and Warner will definitely come back, and they may even take the initiative to hand over various other copyrights to Jia Hongjian for filming!  By then, with Jia Hongjian's ability, wouldn't DC and Warner be further ahead than they were ten years ago?  By then, won¡¯t Marvel be left far behind by Warner and DC again?  It was because the board of directors also saw such a reason that the original president of Marvel resigned. Then the fat man, who also saw such a crisis, used his radical proposal to seduce the board of directors and decided to take a gamble!  Only then did Fatty Bai become the CEO and have the opportunity to discuss cooperation with Jia Hongjian!

    If they can't negotiate a cooperation with Jia Hongjian, although Marvel will still follow the path they have set, it seems to be much more risky - if they had to do it themselves, all their cash combined would be  Not enough to invest in an "Iron Man"!  In order to make this film, they may have had to mortgage the copyrights of several well-known comic book superheroes to banks for loans!  If the film loses money or does not earn enough to repay the loan, the copyrights of the superheroes will be taken away by the bank and auctioned off!  Marvel Cliffhanger will be miserable by then, and Cliffhanger will never have a chance to compete with DC!  That's why this fat white man thought Alexander!  If it weren't for this huge pressure, how could he not have the opportunity to create opportunities, and follow Katzenberg's route to force Jia Hongjian to agree despite Jia Hongjian's face-to-face refusal?

    At this time, Fatty Bai took deep breaths and kept encouraging himself in his heart. He knew that the next five minutes would be the trial of his fate as a newly appointed president and the Marvel company!  Whether he will rise to the top easily or he will be forced to gamble with his life and fortune depends on the outcome of his meeting with Jia Hongjian and the others!  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature.
