Chapter 129 Buying Disney

The historical facts I know are not quite consistent.

In history, Walter has attracted the issuer Charles: Man, also a businessman with a reputation for his savvyness. In the issuer world in New York, no one does not know Mintz.

He promised that after the Disney animation was completed, he would help him release it, and he also provided some financial assistance during the production process of Disney. Disney was moved by Mintz's friendly attitude and sold the copyright of his animation to Mintz. After the screening of "Lucky Bunny Swa" in 1927, it was loved by many people. Disney went to New York to find Mintz, asked him to renew the contract, and decided to increase the movie in the contract. The price of the animation, but Mintz asked Disney to reduce the price by 50% as originally. Of course Disney could not agree. As a result, Mintz proudly told Disney that most of the producers of "Lucky Bunny Oswa" had bribed it, and he owned the copyright of the animation. If Disney did not agree, he could completely put aside Disney and operate it himself. In this way, Disney suffered a great loss and had to give up on continuing to produce the animation.

It was also on the train back from New York that the frustrated Disney suddenly had an idea and drew his immortal figure, Mickey Mouse, in later generations.

Historically, although the current Disney studio is not large in scale, it is not on the verge of bankruptcy.

Seeing Disney frowning, I smiled secretly.

If I guess correctly, this guy must have been peeking at my pocket for a long time. The reason he said this was to let me invest in him.

What he didn't expect was that this was exactly what I wanted.

When it comes to Disney in later generations, no one knows it? Needless to say, the profits of the animation industry and the influence of animation are now invested in a little money to win the animation empire in later generations. Why don’t I do it? Do you still have to wait stupidly for Disney to meet Mintz?

"Mr. Disney, do you think this is good? I bought your 90th stake for $500,000, and the remaining 10% belongs to you. Disney Studios were acquired by DreamWorks. How about it? From now on, you don't have to worry about funds at all. You can do whatever you want. I'll pay for the money." I looked at Disney and said straight to the point.

Disney was blown by the bombshell I suddenly threw out, and my mouth was crooked and my eyes were slanted. I was stunned for a few minutes when I looked at me.

The price I offer is definitely beneficial to Disney. You know, their company's total assets are now only 100,000 US dollars. I only need 90% of its shares. After Disney Studios joined DreamWorks, it will be of great help to them, whether it is strong financial support or shadow screenings. This will not prevent Disney, who is already in a state of trouble, from being moved.

"Mr. Corleon, are you saying true?" Disney looked at me, a little unbelievable in his ears.

I shook the wine in the cup, then drank the rest, and smiled and said, "Do you think I'm a lie?"

Disney smiled: "Mr. Corleon, you are at a disadvantage in doing this? Our company's total assets are only $100,000."

I laughed: "Mr. Disney, if it were someone else today, don't think of taking a penny from me. In my eyes, money is a trivial matter. What I like is your talent!"

I leaned up slightly and stared at Disney, my voice low.

"My talent?" Disney was blushed when I said it.

Before this, the reason why he was fired for a job was because his boss thought he had no talent. Later, several companies he opened were dumped one after another, which made him even more suspicious of his talents. Now he actually heard from me that he had talent. How could he not be a little shy, excited, or even a little grateful?

"Mr. Corleon, I, I, I promised your proposal!" Perhaps because of my words, Disney clenched his hand hard, as if he had made a great determination.

"Hahahaha!" I walked over and patted his shoulder, and said to him with confidence: "Mr. Disney, you and I will become the creators of Hollywood animations. From now on, children in the United States and even the world will be crazy about our animations."

Disney looked at me, excited and nodded repeatedly.

"Mr. Corleon, I'll go to your place to sign a contract tomorrow. Do you think it's okay?" He was quite anxious.

My lips curled up and said, "Okay, I'll be waiting for you in the office tomorrow."

Disney was very happy after talking about such a big thing, and I was even happier. The two of them were chatting with wine glasses when they saw Ford walk to the front desk and knock on the microphone.

"Ladies and gentlemen, today is an important day for the Directors Federation. Everyone knows that our organization has been established for many years. Over the years, we have been from scratch to childhood and have finally done some useful things for our directorial colleagues and the development of Hollywood films. Today is the day when our Directors Federation re-elects the chairman. Over the years, thanks to everyone's trust, I have always held this position, but because of my work, I have not contributed much to this organization, so I am very ashamed. Today, everyone present is a candidate for the chairman of the Directors Federation. For the future of this organization, everyone must carefully consider the cooperation.

select."

Ford's words made me a little dizzy.

What does it mean that all those present are candidates for the chairman of the Directors Federation?

Isn't that saying, I, Stenburg, Griffith, Dunar and Stiller may all be the chairman of this organization? But everyone knows that none of us have joined the Directors Federation.

"Boss, Ford's words, do you mean we have a share?" Steinberg was also confused.

"I don't know, but it's impossible to think about it. We won't be with them." I smiled.

After Ford finished speaking, the two servants carried a small whiteboard, a little girl who looked like an actress, walked onto the stage with a smile, looking like she was preparing to collect tickets.

Several of us hid aside and chatted with the mentality of watching the fun.

"Boss, you look like you laugh and clink your cups, why are you doing?" Stenberg asked in a low voice.

While watching the little girl on the stage pick up the pen and prepare to start scoring, I answered quietly: "I just acquired a studio."

"What?! Acquisition of a studio?!" My words almost made Stenborough jump.

Griffith, Dunar and others next to him rushed over.

"Boss, we have acquired it again?! Which one? Aisai or Callum?!" Dunar asked happily.

"You can't think about it with your head?! With the funds I have in my hands now, can I buy Aisai or Callum?!" I looked at Dunale, looked at the anxious expressions of a group of people, and sighed: "It's an animation studio, called Disney studio."

As soon as I finished speaking, several people showed disappointment on their faces at the same time.

"Boss, what's the use of buying an animation company?! That thing can't make money, and it can't make any name for it. It's time-consuming and laborious. Aren't you causing trouble for yourself?" Stenberg said grinning.

"You think so too?" I asked the others.

Dunar lighted his head like a chicken pecking at rice: "Boss, Stenberg is right. Look at several decent animation companies in Hollywood, and they all work in it. How could you think of buying them?"

Although Griffith and Stiller didn't speak, I could already deduce what they were thinking from the expressions on their faces.

"Boss, I don't think so." When I was about to teach these guys, Jiabao whispered something that made me very pleased.

"Oh, Jiabao, tell me." My brows relaxed. It was not easy to find someone who understood me these days.

Under my encouraging eyes, Jiabao talked: "What I said is not necessarily true, but I think that in Hollywood now, almost all the movies produced are for adults, and there are no movies specifically for children. From young children to teenagers, this age group is a huge base of people. Because of age, they are easy to accept animation. If good cartoons can be produced, they will definitely attract these children at once. Besides, animation is not only made for children, but adults can also watch them. I think that now may be just the budding period of animated movies, and have not yet developed to a certain scale. Animated movies can make money and make a lot of money. As for whether they can make a name for themselves, when the movie was first released, didn't many people say that it couldn't make a name for it? Now, don't everyone agree that it is an art?"

Jiabao's words made Steinberg think something, and even I looked at her with admiration.

"Gentlemen, did you hear it? Haha, it's a pity. You all have regarded yourself as famous directors all day long, but you don't have a deeper understanding of a woman." I laughed.

"Boss, I'm talking nonsense too." Jiabao was embarrassed to see me praising her like this.

"Boss, I seem to have heard of that Disney company, it seems to be small in scale." Stiller whispered.

“Yes, not big,
