American Fortune Life

Andy stood in front of the coat mirror in Ike's eo's office, smelling the charming Chanel No. 5 scent on the little assistant, and let her help her organize her tie and shirt collar.

"Okay, that's it."

Andy looked at himself in the mirror and felt very good. "How is the preparation outside?"

"Nearly, Mr. Pilmut's secretary has called, you can go down, the hall is packed, and the press conference was notified to the media newspapers yesterday." Tory's eyes were full of admiration and worship, Yang Helping his own big devil carefully stretch out some humble creases in his suit.

"Let's go." Andy reached out and squeezed the jaw of a little oestrus assistant, shaking it seriously: "Little slut! Excited again?"

Tory was blushing and fair-faced, biting his lips a little bit, squinting his eyes slightly, nodding shyly, and Andy rolled his eyes in annoyance, "I'm just excited to make money, you're also excited to spend money! "

"But ... this is Marvel!" Said the assistant a little excitedly.

Well, Andy is not a complete American, after all, he does n’t care enough about American cultural symbols, and only pays attention to the financial benefits. If you really want to make an analogy, acquiring Marvel in the United States is undoubtedly equivalent to rabbit country. These characters in Sun Wukong in the Journey to the West are average.

Is it a cultural symbol?

Andy took the surging Tory Black to the elevator on the first floor of the press conference hall. The elevator door opened, and Ike was already waiting with a few people near the elevator entrance.

"Boss, there are hundreds of media ..."

Andy drew a corner of his mouth, "You, Stan, and David, the four of us went up together. Just following today's opportunity, we first made a movie to pre-warm the publicity in advance, and let the news of the formation of the Iron Man crew come out. The advertisers who came down did the publicity. "

The big boss ordered that his staff would naturally follow suit. There were originally three chairs on the podium, and soon the staff moved another.

There were hundreds of reporters sitting under the stage, with a dozen cameras set up in the forefront. The scene was a bit noisy and various discussions.

Soon, a good-looking woman in Marvel Entertainment Group, in a gray suit, stepped onto the stage with a smile, stood in front of the stage, and said to the microphone, "Please be quiet, the press conference will begin immediately."

The scene was reminded by this sound, and soon it quieted down, but all held the cameras one by one, staring at the door on the side of the hall like catching prey.

"Thank you all for coming to the launch of Marvel Entertainment Group. Below are the new chairman of Marvel Entertainment Group, Andy Smith, CEO Aike Pelmut, Chief Consultant of Marvel Entertainment Group, Stan Lee, and new appointment of Marvel Pictures. eo david messer "

As soon as the host's voice fell, Andy walked into the hall first, and then there was a blank cloud in front of him, and the shutter sounded continuously.

Andy's face always has a faint smile, calm, steady pace, upright body, giving a very confident impression, which is what he has always felt.

After the four people sat in the podium in turn, the host began to talk to Barabara, and briefly introduced the situation, and then Andy touted each other a few words, what is the honor to be a member of Marvel, Marvel What a great company or something without nutrition, the reporters did n’t bother to listen carefully, of course, everyone knows that the real good thing of the press conference is in the question section, everyone is silently thinking about asking questions The question and waiting for the above few people are over.

"Thank you for the arrival of media friends. Here is the time to answer questions from reporters ..."

Before the moderator finished, the following reporters stood up like a group of flies, raised their hands, started buzzing, the scene was extremely chaotic, and Andy rolled his eyes. This group of reporters was also crazy. I rarely interviewed myself, so I managed to catch it once. Of course, these reporters would not let go of this opportunity that Andy must cooperate with.

"You are so noisy, just a waste of time! Everyone quiet down and ask questions one by one. Today, I try to satisfy everyone's questions." Andy's voice was a bit clear, and the noisy reporters in the audience quieted down immediately, the effect The strength made Stan Lee look at Andy very unexpectedly.

"In the first row, the female reporter in the red jacket gave her a microphone." Andy pointed at a high-haired, pretty blonde with little hair and said to the microphone in front of her.

"I am Jenny, a reporter for The New York Post ... Thank you, Mr. Smith, for giving me the first opportunity to ask a question. I would like to ask, it is reported that your acquisition was made using high leverage. You only With $ 500 million in own funds, will this increase Marvel's debt burden? Do you have any specific profit plan after taking over Marvel? "

"Oh, it seems your news is really well informed, yes, I used a leveraged buyout, but this is not because I do n’t have enough money, and my leveraged buyout is different from the past. The loan is between me and the bank The matter has nothing to do with Marvel. The cooperation between Bank of America and me has always been very happy. Here I also want to thank them for their trust. At the same time, Bank of America took over all the debts. Now it is Marvel's largest creditor, and nothing more. I originally hoped to transfer the debt to me personally, but Stan Lee decided to retain part of the shares. In this case, the transfer could not be achieved. However, the Bank of America gave us enough trust and they believed that our Marvel future It can bring them sufficient and stable benefits, that is to say, whether it is leverage or debt, it is not a problem for us. We are confident and capable to pay all loans.

As for the profit plan you asked, this can't tell you that it is related to Marvel's strategic layout in the next 20 years, but I can tell you a message. We have decided to start the movie plan immediately and move our superheroes to the big one again. On the screen, after everyone's unanimous research, we chose Iron Man Tony Stark ... "

"I'm from the Wall Street Journal ..."

"I'm from the New York Times ..."

"Weekly newspaper……"……

Andy seems to really cooperate with these media's questions. Well, although he asked them all, he was a chicken thief who dumped some questions to the other three, and easily became the host himself. The reporters on the stage couldn't laugh or cry.

"Well, the time is almost up, the last question. Just you," Andy pointed to a female reporter wearing a white shirt in the last row with a very hot top. "Thank you, I'm ... I would like to ask Mr. Smith. It is said that you have plans to enter the sports world. Your think tank is forming a sports advisory team for you, including rugby, basketball, baseball and football related majors. People, can you think that you will acquire these types of ball teams in the future? If so, do you have a target team you like? "

Andy really admires the power of this group of people, Nima, it seems that they need to be more careful in the future, really relaxed their vigilance that day, and this group of people caught their own big news, that was really over.

"It's another question that has nothing to do with today's topic. It seems that this lady is not worried at all. I refuse to answer it. Forget it, since it is the last question, it doesn't matter to say something else. Yes, I have this idea. Of course, this is just the preparation stage of the plan, and it may take a long time to achieve it. As for the goal you asked, oh, I am a New Yorker, naturally I hope to have a New York team. Unfortunately, my money is too expensive. Less, whether it is the Yankees or the New York Knicks, even if I want to buy, the owners of these two teams may not sell, so it is useless to say that the goal is not the purpose, I am a sports enthusiast and participate in I like competitive sports, so I am willing to participate in it. All kinds of teams and clubs need detailed inspection and understanding before they can make a decision. This is also a long plan and will not happen overnight. Well, let ’s go. Thank you for being able to participate in our Marvel conference today and preparing a souvenir for you. I hope you can support us in the future. Thank you. "

After speaking, Andy stood up from his seat, with a rare face on his face. The reporters smiled very rarely. After waving with them, they took the three of the audience out of the conference hall, and they ignored him. Security guards stopped journalists and flashing flashes who wanted to rush over to ask questions.

"Okay, Ike, the office belongs to the original owner, and the follow-up work will be entrusted to you. Tom in the Finance Department and Jerry in the Law Department will fully cooperate with your work. When you control the funds over Marvel Pictures, Yes, the last loan of more than 500 million has more than 370 million, which is enough for filming and post-production and announcement. As for negotiations with Paramount, it must be resolved as soon as possible. "Andy smiled. Holding Ike Pilmut said.

"I understand, boss." Ike is very grateful for Andy's trust. As for the affairs of the Finance Department and the Legal Department, everyone who knows Andy knows that these are the two departments that the young boss attaches the greatest importance to. Each division of the company will be replaced by his think tank. This is right. There is no binding power. To be honest, Ike himself cannot guarantee that he will not come.

In the car, Al and Andy talked and laughed about some interesting things. Andy glanced at the reflector and noticed that Joseph had looked at himself several times.

"Joseph, is there anything wrong?"

Joseph turned around and said to Andy, "Boss, the two teams of Kenny and I have returned to the United States. They are taking a short vacation, and the company's various documents and licenses have been obtained. Next time you have designated a training base, Mr. Vitley and I have already discussed, it is best to choose an area that is large enough and has many types of terrain ... "
