American Fortune Life

Andy stood in front of Ike's cap mirror in his CEO's office and smelled that charming Chanel No. 5 scent on his assistant, leaving her to tidy up her tie and shirt collar.

“Well, that's it. ”

Andy looked at himself in the mirror and felt good, "How's it going out there? ”

“Almost, Mr. Pirmut's secretary has called, you can go down, the lobby has been cleaned up and the press conference was notified yesterday.” Tory's eyes were filled with admiration and worship, and he leaned back to help his great demon king carefully stretch out some of the blind creases in his suit.

“Let's go.” Andy reached out and squeezed a little oestrus' assistant's chin, and a serious shake said: “Little SLUT! Excited again? ”

Tory had a pretty white face, bit his lips slightly, squinted his eyes slightly, nodded shyly, Andy turned a white eye without anger, “I make money and you're excited, you're excited to spend it! ”

“Yes... This is Marvel!” The assistant said with some excitement.

Well, after all, Andy is not a complete American. He doesn't care enough about the cultural symbols of Americans. He only focuses on monetary interests. If you really want to give an example, acquiring Marvel in the United States is undoubtedly equivalent to buying out Sun Wukong in the journey to the West in the rabbit country.

A cultural symbol?

Andy arrived on the ground floor of the press conference hall with a heartfelt Tory Blake, and the elevator door opened, and Ike and several others were already waiting not far from the elevator entrance.

“Boss, there are hundreds of media... ”

Andy smoked in the corner of his mouth, “You, Stan, and David, the four of us go up together, and this is the next opportunity to do a movie pre-heating publicity, release the news of the formation of the Iron Man Theatre Group, and publicize it for the next advertiser. ”

The big boss ordered that his men should naturally take care of it. He had three chairs on the chair table, and the staff quickly moved another one.

Hundreds of sitting journalists under the stage, more than a dozen cameras at the front, the scene was a bit noisy and all kinds of talk.

Soon, Marvel Entertainment Group, a beautiful woman in a gray suit, walked up to the stage with a smile on her face, stood beside the host stage and said to the microphone: "Please be quiet, the press conference is about to begin. ”

The scene was reminded by this sound and quickly quieted down, just one by one, holding the camera in his hand, staring at the door by the hall like a prey to be caught.

“Thank you all for coming to the Marvel Entertainment Group presentation site. Here is Andy Smith, the new Chairman of Marvel Entertainment Group, Ike Piermut, CEO, Stan Lee, Chief Advisor of Marvel Entertainment Group, and David Messer, the new CEO of Marvel Film Industry..."

As soon as the host's voice went down, Andy walked into the lobby first, then there was nothing in front of him, and the shutter kept ringing.

Andy always had a faint smile on his face, his appearance, steady pace, and pulled out of his body, giving the impression of being incredibly confident, which is also what he has always felt like.

After the four of them sat in the podium in turn, the moderator began to say something in pieces, briefly and roughly introduced the situation, and then Andy and the others bragged to each other, what an honor to be a member of Marvel, how great a company Marvel is, and so on. Without any nutrition, journalists are not tired of listening carefully. Of course, everyone knows that the real fun of the press conference is the questioning session, and everyone is also silently thinking about asking questions and waiting for some of the above people to finish their words.

“Thank you to all media friends for coming. Here is the time to answer questions from journalists... ”

The moderator hasn't finished yet, the reporters below are like a bunch of flies, all standing up, holding hands up, the buzzing starts screaming, the scene is so chaotic, Andy rolls a white eye, the group of reporters are also holding their own, they are rarely interviewed, it is easy to catch them once, these reporters will naturally not let go of this opportunity Andy must cooperate with.

“You guys are just wasting your time arguing! Everyone calm down, one question at a time, and today I try to satisfy all your questions.” Andy's voice sounded a little crisp, and the noisy reporters under the stage immediately calmed down, and the effect was so strong that Stanley and several others looked at Andy very unexpectedly.

“First row, the woman in the red jacket, give her a microphone.” Andy pointed up at a blonde with a pretty high face, less fu, and said to the microphone in front of him.

“I'm Jenny from The New York Post. Thank you, Mr. Smith, for giving me the opportunity to ask the first question, and I wanted to ask, is there any news that your acquisition took advantage of high leverage, that you spent only $500 million of your own money, and would that increase Marvel's debt burden? Do you have any specific profitability plans after you take over Marvel? ”

“Oh, it seems that your news is really brilliant, yes, I used leverage to buy, but it's not because I don't have enough money, and my leverage acquisition is different from the past. Loans are between me and the bank, and Marvel has nothing to do with it. The Bank of America and I have always had a great time working together, and here I want to thank them for their trust. At the same time, the Bank of America took over all the debts, and now Marvel's biggest creditor, and that's all. I was hoping to transfer the debts to me personally, but Stanley decided to keep some of the shares, and in that case, the transfer would not be possible, but the Bank of America gave us enough trust that they thought that our Marvel future would bring them enough and stable benefits, that is that neither leverage nor debt, for us Marvel, is an issue, and we are confident and strong enough to repay all the loans.

As for the profitability plan you asked me about, I can't tell you that it's about Marvel's strategic layout for the next 20 years, but I can tell you one thing, we've decided to start the movie program right away, move our superhero back to the big screen, and after everyone's unanimous research, we've chosen Iron Man Tony Stark... ”

“I'm with the Wall Street Journal... ”

“I'm with the New York Times... ”

“Newsweek... ”

Andy seemed to really go along with the questions from the media, well, although they were all asked, he was very chicken thief and dumped some questions on the other three, and he easily acted as the host, making the reporters under the stage cry.

“Well, time's almost up, last question. Just you,“ said Andy, pointing to the last row of women reporters in white shirts.

”Thank you, I am..., I'd like to ask Mr. Smith if he has information that you plan to enter the sports world and that your think tank is forming a team of sports advisors for you, including professionals involved in football, basketball, baseball and soccer, can you think that you will acquire these types of teams in the future? If so, do you have a favorite target team? “

Andy really admired the strength of this group of people, Nima, it looks like he should be more careful in the future. He really relaxed his guard that day and got his big news shot by this group of people, and that's it.

“Another question that has nothing to do with today's theme. It seems that the lady is not worried about me refusing to answer at all. Forget it, since it's the last question, it doesn't matter if I say anything 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. As for the goal you asked, heh, I'm a New Yorker, naturally hoping to have a team in New York. Unfortunately, my money is still too little. Even if I want to buy it, the owners of the two teams won't necessarily sell it. So, the goal is useless. I am a sports enthusiast and a participant. I love competitive sports, so I'm willing to participate in it. The teams, clubs, need detailed study and understanding to make a decision. It's also a long plan, and it won't be overnight. Well, that's it, thank you all for attending our Marvel launch today and preparing a souvenir, and I hope you will support Marvel more in the future, thank you. ”

After that, Andy stood up from his seat with a rare smile on his face. After waving with them, he left the venue with the three people on the stage, ignoring the fact that the security guards had stopped him and wanted to rush over to ask questions. Undead journalists and flashing flashes.

“Well, Ike, the office belongs to the owners, and the follow-up will be up to you, and Tom from Treasury and Jerry from Law will cooperate fully in your work, and you can take care of the funds from Marvel Films, the last loan of more than 500 million, with more than 370 million left, enough for filmmaking and post-production and publicity, and the negotiations with Paramount need to be resolved as soon as possible.” Andy gripped Ike Piermut with a smile on his face.

“I understand, boss.” Ike was very grateful for Andy's trust, and as far as Treasury and Legal were concerned, he knew that those were the two departments that the young boss valued most, and that each acquisition would be replaced by someone from his think tank. That's right, no restraining powers, and to be honest, Ike himself wouldn't dare promise not to screw around.

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

“Joseph, can I help you? ”

Joseph turned around and said to Andy, "Boss, two teams from Kenny and I have returned to the mainland of the United States, we are on short leave, and we have all kinds of company documents and licenses, and now you are the only one who has designated a training base, which I have discussed with Mr. Vitley, and it is best to choose an area that is large enough to have a wide variety of terrain. ”
