Going Into the World!

I put Peter Kunio in front of me and thought for a moment. Kunio has a wide, round face, and a bit of a livelihood that makes him look like a good guy. But I can also see the sharpness in that sad face.

“Thank you for coming. I wasn't sure if I would accept the invitation. ”

“Haha. I can't stop you from threatening me like that. ”

I immediately disagree with what I said, and it has thorns in it. But I'm not angry. Because Kunio's right.

In fact, I gathered information because I was interested in Marvel's assets the last time. The result was a conclusion that attempting hostile takeover would be ‘feasible’ for 50 million dollars.

Although the share price at the beginning of the year, which was below $1.5, has risen to $2, the market price is still only $30 million.

Last year's XMen success has attracted Marvel's interest in superheroes.

At that point, Murdock's companies were very good at "playing," and Fox, a 20-year-old, dug up XMen and made a fortune. $75 million in production costs exceeded $300 million, and rumor has it Marble didn't have a dime.

Marvel, who was dying around the time of the XMen deal, took a hot-stone bait on Fox Company's good terms, and regretted hitting the ground because it was so big.

Marvel would have made a big bet if he had some money, but he made such a bad deal because he was poor. It is the spirit of the penniless. Like anyone else, I always do the right thing.

Sony can't stand the sight of Fox scraping in 200 million dollars from his seat, because the Mudskipper jumps. According to the information we have so far, Marvel and Spider-Man are in the process of concluding a license agreement to make a movie.

This is why I want to build a fence with Mr. Kunio today. You can't give Sony a seemingly upright Spider-Man. I keep my eyes open like this... Hehe. No, I can't.

Let me get this straight. So why would anyone just leave a cheap, nutritious company like this alone when 50 million dollars is a small price for Sonny or Murdock?

In fact, Marvel Enterprises is a company that sold its movies and TV segments to Murdock in '96 and barely restarted its sale.

Since the year Marvel restarted, he has been overwhelmed with lawsuits and lawsuits against management and the landscape of majority ownership, and proprietary claims against Marvel Comic characters.

He even filed for bankruptcy after his chief executive was thrown out of the country by a lawsuit, but that was no longer an obstacle to Ichan, one of the largest shareholders and corporate hunters.

It was only at the end of the Feast of Weeks in late '98 that I met Kunio, the current president, and was trying to normalize it. At least last year, I breathed the heat of XMen.

And with this XMen, Murdock made a fortune and gave Marvel nothing, so Marvel sued Fox again. The reason is that XMen, in addition to movies, is used unauthorized for advertising or characters and eats everything by itself, but the contract for this part is ambiguous.

Since it is so complicated, it is difficult for Foxsa to wait for her hand in Marble, the hot potato. The hostility to Fox is substantial inside Marvel, and so far due to Fox's fraudulent behavior, shareholders do not believe in Fox's mediocre terms.

Sony and other filmmakers may be waiting for the rain to pass. Once the lawsuit or complex matters are cut short, we'll see about that.

The planning team tried stabbing Marvel a few times with this gathered information, but there was no big response. So I took a closer look at Marvel's board of directors. With the stock price falling into a long-term recession for six to seven years, he noticed that many shareholders' funds have been tied up for a long time, which has improved a little, but many people are in a hurry.

I think it's cluttered, but more likely than ever. Of course, the first condition is to find a cooperative insider.

Because I didn't want to see the underdog, I put in a superfall. "If I don't meet you once, I'll join the hostile takeover!" ’I called Kunio directly.

The reaction came right away. That's why I'm here today, and that's why I came up with this quote.

“It's not just a threat. We want to get good results from each other. I'm not that ignorant. ”

The person who prepared a seat and brought it to me said that it was good for his age.

“Khh-hmm. Okay, so I'm curious what you're going to say today. ”

I know when to step back and move forward like a veteran who has already gone through the battle. A real businessman.

“I'll say it in a word. I want to acquire Marble, and I have a strong will to acquire Marvel.” The impression of Kunio is slightly distorted in my words, but the next one is quiet with a look on his eyes. Phew. This guy's working hard.

“I know there's chaos inside Marvel right now. So I need Kunio's help even more. I wondered why I was opposed to an outside merger from Kunio's perspective. Don't you want me to offer you something convincing? ”

“Hm. You must have done your own analysis. I'm very curious as to what the conclusion is. ”

Kunio runs in a posture of curiosity. Maybe I had a good view of what I was preparing for.

“Fame first. He's famous for rebuilding collapsing companies seven times over, and if you get kicked out of another company after a merger, that reputation will be a little steeper, right? Oh, it's not your fault, of course, but the title of CEO, who brought back eight consecutive companies, is going to go away, right? ”

“You're sharper than you look. I guess it's true that I have that idea. ”

“Secondly, you need all the power to make sure that you have a good relationship with the board right now, and you already have that power, because if I take over, it's going to get worse, and it's not going to get better. ”

“Haha, I think you're reading my mind. ”

I smile at my own interpretation. I guess I wasn't so wrong. Kunio seems to have no objection to this kind of conversation.

“And the last one you get is a lot of stock options, and you're hesitant because if Marvel becomes my personal company, I'll sell it for too low a price. Maybe in a few more years you'll be able to double or triple the company's stock price, right? You may be recognized by others, but you're also pretty confident. ”

When I'm done, Kunio looks surprised and tells me what he thinks.

“Oh, I was surprised today. It was John Kim who set up these big companies in a short period of time, and we all knew it, but we didn't know if there was this kind of analysis behind it. There must be a reason you run a company this size. ”

Kunio felt like the more he talked, the better he was. Once the title 'The Great Sage Keeper of the Sinking Company’ was behind him, he also looked calm and serious in style.

Above all, I have a strong confidence that I can, so I feel like I want to be this person. Instead of doing something to someone so worn out and worn out than me, I just said it honestly.

“When I acquire the marble, I want Mr. Kunio to take care of the marble and the polygram. Both companies were once glorious.

Kunio, who I know, has the capacity to hold both companies accountable. I'm here to help. Oh, of course I'll take care of the stock options. ”

Whether my proposal was surprising or I didn't expect to say it so straightforward, I suddenly have a strong hesitation.

I was flattered that I felt like I had taken control for the first time because of the embarrassment.

When faced with an experienced opponent, the Pokémon wins by surprisingly poking and prodding. Haha.

“Hahaha. This is a very fresh proposition. It's a very sweet, very attractive proposition.” By the way, I don't like your tone. It's sweet if it's sweet. It looks sweet...

“Khh-hmm. Let me assure you, it's a very sweet offer. On my behalf, I'm proposing to you sincerely because I think Mr. Kunio will manage both companies very well. ”

“Hmph. Got it. Now that you mention it, I have nothing to say to you. We will review your suggestion positively. It's not so bad for me. ”

“Of course. And as I said, it's still our secret. At least until Mr. Kunio decides.” Kunio nods at my words.

We talked a little more about Kunio and Marvel's past and the current situation.

Finally, I've asked you to make the most of my Spider-Man deal with Sony, and I'll do my best.

“Nice to meet you today. I hope to hear from you soon.” I smiled and greeted Kunio on his way out.

“I feel good today, too. When I first came here, I honestly didn't expect much. But it's not just my decision to make. ”

First, a positive answer. Of course I know it well and it's moving in multiple directions.

Once I feel that I am one step ahead of two competitors, I feel better, so I show my hands and come back, and the secretary gives the horse.

“I got a call from Thomas, the head of the intelligence team, during the meeting. And the Data Center Director called me a little while ago, and he wants me to call him when the meeting is over. ”

There's nothing special going on at the data center, but the center manager asks me to call and I suddenly wonder what's going on. I came back to my office and called Brian, the center manager.

“You asked for a phone call? ”

“Yes, sir. I was hesitant to call, and I just wanted to let you know that ”

Brian carefully speaks out what's going on. But I'm relieved it's not an urgent fight. I'm in trouble again.

“Oh, that's okay. Tell me what's going on. ”

“Well, the information team keeps using the servers. There should always be a reserve capacity for emergencies, but now the reserve is too low. If you continue to need this in the future, you will need to expand your server. ”

Brian's voice is mixed with complaints.

“Very well, Team Leader Thomas has agreed to analyze the data and only allow you to use it for one day, but if you are going to do a big test in the future, I will consult with the chancellor in advance. ”

“In today's case, the preliminary rate dropped to almost zero instantly. If you test something special like this, you can prepare it in advance, but if you just write it at random without notice, it's hard to deal with. ”

After hearing a little more from Brian, I went downstairs to see Thomas. I wondered what he was working so hard for, and I wondered if there was anything special.

“Thomas! What's wrong with you? ”

A dark smile floats on Thomas' face sitting in front of the computer, fainting. When I knock, I tell them to come in, and they don't even know I'm here, they just look at the computer.

“John! You!”

Thomas looks surprised when he sees me standing there.

"Oh, John, you?" What the hell is he talking about? Chuck! I can't believe this is happening. Come on, if this guy's been focused on something for a long time, he's not very aware of what's going on around him.

“Oh, John. I found something amazing today! ”

He yells at me with a very excited look on his face. Gosh, he's the head of the intelligence team, so I'm going to have to do something special.

When the position rises, you have to know how to separate your face from your mind, which is literally written on your face.

“Really? Calm down. Everyone will see. Now that you're the head of the online intelligence team, we need to weigh you down.” As an expert with five years of weight-bearing experience, I said something.

“Hehe. That's what's so great about it! ”

Thomas says it's no big deal, but he's not interested at all. Come on, I don't believe that Thomas' personality is going to change, so it just goes away.

“What's the big deal? ”

“Look at this! It's a discovery you'll like. ”

Following Thomas' gaze, he looked at the two monitors on his desk. Hmm. What do you have?

“Thomas, you have to explain. There's nothing in my eyes. ”

“Oh, sorry. I'm a little distracted. ”

Thomas quickly flips the screen and prepares to show something else. This guy's a real piece of work. There's nothing on the screen. What did you want me to see?

Come on, it's no big deal. He's my right arm anyway, and he's good on the other side, so he sent the team leader. Thomas is a little clumsy on this side, but he still has a firm grasp in online information analysis.

We know all the technical details of what team members are doing, so we can keep things quiet between us. If it wasn't for Thomas, I'd have to take care of my own errands, which wouldn't be easy for me if I wasn't.

Besides, I've been so busy these days that I haven't programmed for a while, but somehow I feel a little weak. The company cuts like this, but you can't be coding yourself.

“This is it!” And I saw the screen Thomas was pointing at. Hmmm...

“What are you talking about? Jennifer Lopez, $3,000? Kiss FM music station, ticketing week? ”

I asked Thomas for an explanation.

In addition to the cases on this side, Marvel was caught up in a number of lawsuits.

Fox is based on a number of copyright suits surrounding XMen and TV series production.

Sony and Spider-Man fought for 16 months between 2003 and 2004.

In Spider-Man's case, Sony used this character to promote other movies and propositions. Of course it's free. Marvel must be pissed.

About the same time, in 2003, a hero named Captain America got caught in a lawsuit with the original producer.

For nearly 10 years, there have been lawsuits involving management, equity transfer, character ownership, licensing conditions, movie distribution, and rights to character coverage.

How can a company have so many legal disputes-- a writer got bored.
