After the meeting, Luo Sheng returned to his office and worked for about half an hour at Blue Star Technology Group. He was about to go to the next Costa ção, where two meetings were still to be held. In the future, he had to go to the Costa ção Laboratory and Lans Semiconductor for a walk.

This is Luo Sheng’s subsequent work arrangement today.

"Mr. Luo, please look for me."

Zhang Bowen, who had just finished the meeting, came to Luo Sheng's office.

"Do you know Marvel?"

As soon as Zhang Bowen came in, Luo Sheng raised this question to him.

"Marvel?" Zhang Bowen was stunned for a while, thought for a while, and said uncertainly: "Mr. Luo, are you talking about Marvel Comics in North America?"

Luo Sheng nodded: "That's right, that's what I'm talking about. I plan to acquire this company. I just took a look and heard that Marvel has recently fallen into a life-threatening stage, which is the best time to acquire the company."

Speaking of this, Luo Sheng remembered that his name was Marvel and had not yet been changed to Marvel.

Zhang Bowen couldn't predict the brain circuit of his boss from the inside, and he was used to it. Anyway, you never know what he was thinking about in the next second and what he would do in the next moment.

What is the operation of acquiring a comic company?

Luo Sheng estimated the time. At this time, Marvel had already invested all his money in the movie "Iron Man". If nothing unexpected happens, the movie should be released in a month.

Once the loss is lost, Marvel will also collapse. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is taking a desperate bet. Once the box office of this movie fails, Marvel will also fail.

But Luo Sheng knew that Marvel had come back to life and opened the superhero movie universe, and eventually made a lot of money.

He knew, but Marvel himself didn't know that this was an opportunity.

"I don't know about this field, but as far as I know, the copyright of Marvel's most valuable IP Spider-Man is already in Sony's hands, and the X-Men series is also in the hands of Twentieth Century Fox Films. And Marvel's seemingly no valuable IP..." Zhang Bowen said.

Luo Sheng did not explain too much to him. Yun Danfeng said: "The company currently has too much money on the books. It was originally going to acquire Sun Company, but it was not successful. Even if the digital film copyright expenses of the Hollywood Film Company were removed, there were still more than 13 billion US dollars, and the repurchase of stocks could not consume too much. How to spend the remaining money? Then buy Marvel. I guess if I buy about 2 billion US dollars now, Marvel will be willing to sell it to me."

Zhang Bowen said: "Okay, what should we do if we acquire Marvel?"

This is the key point, what should I do after the acquisition? If it becomes a bad debt, it will be very painful. This is not a small amount.

Luo Sheng thought for a moment and said, "Integrate the IP resources of Marvel, establish Blue Star Film, enrich the entertainment industry ecosystem, and diversify the ecological environment of the BV video business. If the BV video network wants to grow and grow, it will always have to make your own web dramas or movies. Netflix has been playing this model for so many years and is still booming, which shows that this path is right, and the BV video business must also follow up."

After pausing for a moment, Luo Sheng looked at Lao Zhang and added: "Just try Marvel's IP resources. Maybe you can take this opportunity to enter the movie entertainment market. The content shortcomings need to be paid attention to, otherwise you can't stand it even if several major Hollywood film and television giants have been asking for prices all the time. This time, it is very cool and easy to throw out more than 5 billion US dollars, but it is also very painful."

Zhang Bowen suddenly realized that the boss wanted to enrich the overall content ecosystem of Blue Star Technology Group and further consolidate its moat. Only when species diversity can the ecology be healthier. A large group only relies on a single profit model is actually a very dangerous signal. The antibodies are too weak, and only when the profit model is diversified, this business segment is in the loss, and other business segments are making profits. If the profit model is too single, it is easy to collapse.

Another thing is that the content problem is indeed a major shortcoming of Blue Star Technology. If you don’t step in, you may be stuck in Hollywood in the future.

"You leave this matter to George Charles, vice president of North America, to talk to Marvel. The bottom line is up to 3.3 billion US dollars. If you exceed it, you don't need to acquire it." Luo Sheng said. It would be better to buy back Blue Star Technology's stock directly after passing this line. The gains of the stock price appreciation in ten years are much higher than that of the successful Marvel Universe as a whole.

Besides, Luo Sheng didn't dare to promise that Marvel today would be as successful as the world he was in in his previous life. After all, his appearance has changed too much, and certain things will be full of uncertainty.

Although Luo Sheng showed calmness in this regard, it does not mean that the investment of billions of dollars is calmness in the future. This is the net profit scale of Blue Star Technology in two quarters. The result of the six-year struggle will be painful if it fails.

It's not easy to make some money.

In the future, we will invest in cloud computing services on a large scale. This is a big hole waiting to be filled in with tens of billions of dollars.

Zhang Bowen confirmed that Luo Sheng was serious and nodded immediately and replied: "No problem, I'd better go to talk to Marvel people in person. I'm going to North America this month."

Luo Sheng had no objection to this.

The matter was determined so he didn't pay much attention to the rest. All he wanted was to wait for a result. As for the merger and acquisition process, he would just leave it to his subordinates.

The acquisition of Marvel Comics is different from the Sun Computer Microsystems, which involves high-tech Sun Computer. Although the North American authorities are also significantly supporting the Hollywood film industry, there will not be too many restrictions on foreign capital. Otherwise, there will be no Sony. To a large extent, it depends on the strength of the capital.

And financial resources are certain for Bluestar Technology Group.

...

Two days later, Luo Sheng focused on Costa çao, focusing on the research and development of the new generation of Azure mobile phones, and often traveled between Lens Semiconductor and Costa çao Laboratory.

In addition to its main business, Costa del Sur is currently secretly developing game console hardware modules, codenamed "acc plan", which is a brand new project plan. Luo Sheng has not yet focused too much on this project.

At the same time, the "spare tire plan" of the Costa 1999 also began to draft a draft, which was conducted in conjunction with Huawei Company and was listed as the highest research secret. Its significance is that one day in the future, if Americans interrupt the cooperation between international supply chain partners, they can be self-sufficiency.

Zhang Bowen is also traveling to North America today. Originally, his main job in the United States in April was to go to ibm, in order to make the completion of several major data centers in North America.

Luo Sheng arranged a job for him temporarily, so he could buy Marvel Comics Company.

But acquiring Marvel is not the primary task of Zhang Bowen's trip to North America. By the way, finalizing the implementation of cloud computing services and data centers in the North American market is better than acquiring ten Marvels. Only by completing this matter will you go and buy Marvel Comics.

On the fourth day after Zhang Bowen came to North America, he had basically completed the main purpose of this trip, and it was quite smooth. After all, the major difficulties have been overcome and he had previously obtained an access license for the North American market.

Next, he will complete the invitation to initiate a merger and acquisition for Marvel Comics.

Zhang Bowen did not go directly to meet the head of Marvel Comics Company, but went to Wall Street first and stayed at Merrill Lynch for two days, and then brought Merrill Lynch’s people to visit Marvel Comics Company.

...

Marvel Comics, Avi Arad's office.

"Boss, Merrill Lynch's people and Bluestar Technology Group's global executive vice president came to our company and hope to meet you as soon as possible. They did not make an appointment."

Arad's assistant entered the office to report on the matter. He is currently the head of Marvel Comics.

“What? Blue Star Technology Group?”

Upon hearing the assistant's report, Arad's mind was full of confusion. If there was no appointment, he would be a trainee. Just a Merrill Lynch person arrived, he would have to put down his affairs and receive them, because Marvel Comics would have died long ago without Merrill Lynch, and there was no funding for "Iron Man".

Arad didn't think much about it, immediately put down his existing work and ordered: "Give them VIP reception room, I'll come here later."
