Chapter 642: farce
Just after entering August, Eric is still deliberately negotiating with Peter Schneider. The topic of the fireflies closing the hand-painted animation department, which was already cold after the end of June, seems to suddenly come up again. .
For a time, 'Eric Williams and the Disney animation department executives have a radical conflict', 'Disney animation department staff dissatisfied with the company's treatment will leave the whole ', '"Lion King" will become Disney 2d animation" The news appeared in the newspapers.
Because "Leo King"'s expected total profit will exceed $1 billion, for a production cost of less than $50 million, the return on investment will reach an astonishing 2000%, far exceeding the profit margin of other live-action movies in the summer. Therefore, if the firefly is a listed company, even if there are many good support for the box office in the summer, and the news that the Disney animation department may fall apart, the stock price will inevitably fall sharply.
Under this powerful Karen offensive, all the onlookers who got the news through different media soon produced a concept that the firefly was about to lose the Disney hand-painted animation department.
Organizations and media that are paying close attention to this matter have speculated that in addition to the Disney animation department, what forces are putting pressure on the Firefly Group in this way.
In their view, in the face of the huge profits of "Lion King", fireflies will never give up the Disney animation department, but at the same time, the Disney animation department is not likely to have such a wide range of media influence. After all, Disney animation is fireflies. Subsidiaries of the Group's subsidiaries, whose original media resources are basically in the hands of the parent company, cannot make such a big move.
Moreover, compared with the media, the black cloud is pressing like a city. The Firefly Group's response to a series of news seems to be a little overwhelming, and most analysts have concluded that fireflies will be forced to submit to the Disney animation department.
On the second Monday in August, Ron Perelman, chairman of Andrews Holdings, based in Manhattan, New York, was a firefly film creditor. At the same time, in conjunction with the other 27 creditors holding fireflies long-term bonds, they issued a statement expressing concern that the Firefly Board and its top executives caused internal turbulence in the fireflies due to a series of wrong decisions. At the same time, in order to protect the interests of creditors, Ron Perelman publicly appealed to the firefly shareholders, hoping to enter the Firefly Board as a creditor and participate in the decision-making and operation of the Firefly Group. If the Firefly board rejects the request, Ron Perelman said he would file an arbitration with the Federal Securities and Exchange Commission.
Then, Peter Schneider of Los Angeles and Roy Disney, an important member of the Disney family, issued a statement on behalf of all employees of the Disney animation department, expressing strong disappointment with the firefly's series of group decisions. At the same time, it welcomed the participation of firefly creditors in the group management, and hoped that the firefly shareholders carefully considered the matter.
In order to avoid the early disclosure of news, Ron Perelman and his 27 creditors jointly held a total of only $3.6 billion in firefly bonds, less than half of the total number of fireflies.
When Ron Perelman made a statement, all the media and institutions that closely watched the storm in early August instantly understood the ins and outs of things. Ron Perelman also called the other fireflies creditors at the press conference, but when other creditors were still considering the pros and cons, Peter Schneider and Roy Disney’s support statement They instantly made a decision to turn to Ron Perelman.
“It’s fast enough to set up a credit union in just three days. I’m just a little curious. How do the 77 creditor agencies want to allocate the two directors they want?” In the firefly meeting, Eric looked The latest information in front of you. The language is ridiculous.
Kasenberg looked at the three directors, including Buffett, and said: "Eric, I think you have completely complicated this thing. We didn't need to experience such a crisis, even though we It is a non-listed company, but if it is in trouble with creditors, it will have a big negative impact on the future financing of fireflies."
"Everyone is definitely this kind of opinion?" Eric looked at a few other people and smiled. "In fact, I am doing this. I want to let others think of what is going to happen in the future as a revenge. I think It’s more urgent than all of you to imagine. Now this goal no longer needs to be hidden from everyone, and everyone will discover it in the future. In order to get the Marvel, the current one will not produce fireflies. What the real impact of the farce is definitely worth it."
Although Marvel Entertainment is a listed company, it is similar to MGM's shareholding model. Most of Marvel Entertainment's shares are also controlled by Ron Perelman's Andrews Holding Group.
In order to obtain Marvel, it is impossible to absorb Marvel Entertainment shares from the public channel. The only way is to openly purchase the Marvel Entertainment. If other companies do this, Ron Perelman will definitely decisively pick up the mess that has been burdened with a large debt and has been losing money for years. In the original time, even Michael Jackson almost became a potential buyer of Marvel. However, only fireflies can't, because the current reality of fireflies is too eye-catching. Once the fireflies publicly initiate an offer, it is equivalent to telling others clearly. I have taken a fancy to the rights of some of Marvel's characters. Come with me. Grab, the results can be imagined.
It is conceivable that while competitors join the bid to raise the price of the Marvel purchase, such a savvy businessman like Ron Perelman will certainly not miss this opportunity, once the firefly is determined to be determined, Ron. Perelman will definitely take the opportunity to open the lion's mouth. At that time, the firefly may once again usher in an individual shareholder with a low shareholding ratio. If you look at the mess of Marvel, you know that such a shareholder is definitely not a company that wants to see it. of.
Inspired by Ron Perelman's attempt to enter the Firefly Board as a creditor, after more than a month of secret deployment, Eric determined that the chips they had in hand would definitely allow Ron Perelman to The ground spit out the marvel, and there is not even a second way to go.
"Since everyone has no opinions," Eric said after just saying something, no one in the conference room said anything more. "So, let's talk about how to end this farce." to be continued.)
