"Adam? Adam Baker, it's been a long time. I also watched "American Idol." I didn't expect Mr. Baker to have a talent for singing." Perelman was surprised at the beginning, and then changed his tone instantly. .

Although there was flattery in his mouth, he couldn't help sighing in his heart. He had three contacts with Adam in the past few years, and each time the status of the two of them changed drastically.

For the first time, he was the owner of the comic company with the highest market value and the most powerful reputation in the United States, while Adam was just a small cartoonist, and he still needed to look up to himself; the second time, Adam was still the most popular genius writer in Hollywood. Tens of millions, the two have initially stood at the same height; the third time is this time, Adam not only has an amazing performance in the film, television, novel and newspaper industries, but also the Internet company that has just been listed, Adam is still With a net worth of billions, he has become one of the richest young people in the United States. However, because the comic bubble burst and the comic company was on the verge of collapse, he wanted to make a quick move. It has to be said that it is unimaginable. huge change.

"Thank you, Mr. Perelman, it's just a whim." Adam was rather modest about the other party's compliment. In fact, Adam's popularity ushered in a wave of peak after "American Idol", although to a large extent It depends on the tens of millions of viewers of "American Idol", but Adam's choice of songs is extremely good, coupled with his own interpretation and appearance, all of which have attracted countless fans for him.

The most crazy thing for the audience is that apart from being a singer, Adam is also a super-bestselling author, a director, and the largest shareholder of Eden, an Internet company that is booming and whose stock price is still approaching $20 billion. Young billionaire.

In addition, the song that Adam sang in "American Idol" did not open the copyright, nor was it recorded as a song for chart sales, so that apart from the "American Idol" performance, there is no other place for this song. It is a pity that many viewers who want to buy discs and order them on radio music channels cannot find them.

"Mr. Baker, your whim has driven countless young girls in the United States crazy." Perelman said with a sigh. In fact, this is not entirely a compliment. Since "American Idol" was broadcast, some media took advantage of the trend. I made a special topic about Adam, and listed most of Adam’s celebrities and famous history one by one, so that more people can get to know Adam again. The rich, handsome and talented young people have always been sought after by countless people. Object, so it's no surprise that Adam's popularity has soared.

"Haha, where is it, Mr. Perelman is really exaggerating." Adam laughed and said: "By the way, I called today to ask Mr. Perelman about something. I don't know if it is convenient."

Perelman frowned slightly. Since Adam left the Comic Con, the two had almost no business contact. This time Adam suddenly called him for consultation, which was a bit puzzling: "Mr. Baker, I don't know what you want to know?"

"I heard that Perelman wants to sell all the shares in Marvel. I don't know if it's true?" Adam didn't want to beat around the bush, and said bluntly.

Perelman raised his eyebrows, and thought to himself: So this is the matter, does Adam want Marvel?But it’s not impossible. After all, he was born in comics, so he will naturally have a comic complex. If it’s Adam’s whim, seeing this opportunity, it’s normal to want to pocket the company that he was originally famous for. .

"Mr. Baker, what do you mean?" After thinking about this, Perelman was not in a hurry.

"Let me be blunt. I heard people in the circle say that Mr. Perelman intends to sell all the shares in Marvel, and I am very interested in this. I don't know what you think of Mr. Perelman?" Adam Knowing that Perelman is not stupid, and the tone of the two is playing tricks, it is better to speak directly to save time.

"Ha, there is such a thing. I recently saw that Mr. Baker is doing well in the Internet industry, and I want to take a look, so I want to transfer the Marvel company in my hand to someone who is interested in Marvel. Man, if this person is Mr. Baker, that would be great!" Although Perelman was really tempted and interested in the Internet during the period when Eden was listed, he felt that this industry always Some of them can't last long, and she hasn't been exposed to relevant knowledge. She is afraid that she will fall into a deep pit like Marvel, so she will stop paying attention, but it is naturally impossible to tell the truth about Adam.

"But that's not what I know. Since the end of last year, the comic book market has collapsed. This year, there have been news of comic book store bankruptcy one after another. Marvel's stock price has plummeted. According to market analysis, This is just the beginning of the bursting of the comic book bubble." Adam mercilessly pierced through Perelman's words, letting him know that he didn't just bump into him in a daze, but got to know the relevant information before talking to him. Contact.

Sure enough, after hearing Adam's words, Perelman's expression changed drastically, and his complexion suddenly became gloomy. Since Adam knew the details, it was not easy to fool around, and he stopped making false claims with him, and said directly: "I don't know what Mr. Baker wants How much will it cost?"

"The closing price of yesterday's stock." Seeing that Perelman didn't mean to bend over by himself, Adam also gave the conditions directly. In fact, according to what he knew, Marvel's stock price was only halfway up the mountain, and there was still a lot of money left. There is room for decline, but considering that after all, he dug his first pot of gold from here and helped himself and his family through the most difficult time, so he gave Perelman a chance.

But obviously, Perelman didn't want to accept Adam's kindness, and directly refused: "The stock price is just a temporary drop. If Mr. Baker is sincere, he will be acquired at a price of 1.5, and I will offer it in the shortest possible time." All shares."

"Oh, Mr. Perelman, are you sure you're not blackmailing? I think you know better than me how Marvel's stock price will change. Maybe it's impossible to have such good conditions after today. Please also Think deeply." Adam smiled lightly at the corner of his mouth, 1.5 times?Just dream, even at the current price, he doesn't want to give it, and still wants the lion to open his mouth?

"Since Mr. Baker has no sincerity, forget it. Although Marvel's stock price has been quite unsatisfactory recently, there are still many people who want to take over Marvel. It is Mr. Baker who needs to think carefully." Perelman is the slightest Not afraid, but gave Adam a backhand blow.

Who is Adam?Although it is 1.5 times the stock price, his net worth is nothing, but he is not a fool, he can take any offer, even if there may be a huge change in Marvel in ten years, but that is ten years later, now It's better to let him go bankrupt first, so that we can know the depth.

"Well, since Mr. Perelman said that, I'll wait and see. I just hope that Mr. Perelman will not regret it." Adam hung up the phone directly after finishing speaking.

"Fuck! You actually hung up on me. You really came from an uneducated poor family. I want to see if I can't do anything without him!" Perelman heard Adam's threat , was about to refute, but found that Adam had hung up the phone, and suddenly became angry, dropped the phone in his hand, and yelled into the air.

When he was almost done venting, he called in the secretary outside the door: "Help me book a top-level box at the Katharina Hotel."

"Yes, sir, but Katharina's private room may not be available until three days later." Secretary Lilian nodded in agreement, but as she often helps the boss make reservations for various restaurants, she is quite familiar with such high-end restaurants.

"It's okay, just make a decision for me first." Perelman made a decision with a wave of his hand, and then sent the secretary to go out, while he himself picked up the phone that the secretary had put away.

After hesitating for a long time, he called the executives who were slightly interested, including the executives of DC and Warner, and wanted to discuss with them about receiving Marvel.Although if it is reported, it will definitely be scolded by Marvel loyalists, but it can't compare to the beauty of real money, not to mention that if these dead houses no longer buy comics, they play games instead and cause the comic market Even if it crashes, he will not be able to sell the company.

But to be honest, he really has to make a move as soon as possible. The recent rumors and market evaluation are very unfriendly to the comics industry. He can’t really throw Marvel in his hands. He won Marvel in the first place just to make money, but the money didn’t make any money. He realized that he was about to fall into the pit instead, this was not acceptable, he had to escape first.

After Adam hung up the phone, he didn't show an angry expression, and he didn't care what Perelman would do because of his words, just like a cheetah that had already started galloping to hunt prey didn't care that the little white rabbit had passed away earlier. The second is still a second late to notice himself.

He got in touch with his old partner Tonares. Over the years, the two have gotten along very well. Hearing the call from Adam, Tonares immediately knew what it was: "Have you started hunting?" ?”

"Yes, since the antelope doesn't want to obediently send him to the door, then we will send him a ride." Adam said with a smile: "Follow the steps of the previous plan, this time I will take Marvel into my pocket at once."

"Okay, Adam, the antelope has already fallen into the trap and cannot escape." Tonares said confidently. Since Adam revealed this meaning, they had already made preparations and waited. Adam spoke.

The author has something to say: After working soy sauce for two months, he was finally assigned to a heavyweight project team, and he became crazy busy later on. Since there is no manuscript, the update can only be said to be as much as possible.

In addition, it is hot recently, everyone pays attention to the body, the air conditioner is turned on, but the temperature difference between indoor and outdoor is large, and I have a little illness without checking for a while. As a result, the leader just remembered me at this juncture. I have to adapt to unfamiliar projects and jobs. Obviously, what I said before I came in was not this job, because there was a lack of people in this field, and I didn’t care whether I had done related technologies. It’s like running 100 meters into the provincial team, and then being thrown to the swimming team by the leader. It's just fuck, oh, forget it, don't talk about it, go to bed early, I have to see how to deal with the new project tomorrow, my head is getting big.
