Chapter 1098 - Thor: The Dark World (I)

Wall Street, inside Sidney Capital Ltd.

Early in the morning, Boyd got the news from the front desk, "Someone from CAA wants to see me?"

"Yes." The receptionist nodded, "He called the office for an appointment, a Brian Lord, to be exact, he said he had an information question about the business."

"Did he say what time he'd be coming over?"

"Around 2 p.m., today."

"......"

Soon, CAA's partner Brian arrived on time, with Johnson by his side.

The two sides greeted each other for a while and talked about FOtv, naturally, so it could be said that they came prepared.

The first thing I wanted to do was to get a good idea of what I wanted to do with FOtv and how I wanted to do it.

So, here's the scene today.

"Forty million?"

"Yes, as long as you can pay 40 million, I can help you convince the other minority shareholders who will follow suit, and the whole site can be sold to the people behind you."

FOtv now had no source of financing, and he didn't want to continue to play, so it was only right to find someone else to take over at a higher price.

Brian looked at Johnson, his smile unchanged, "Is this offer too expensive, I remember your company's substantial capital investment is less than 4 million, 2 years, 4 million to 40 million?"

"My friend, you don't understand the Internet business, compare it to those platforms whose valuations have multiplied hundreds of times, I think FOtv is worth the price."

"Is there really no room for bargaining? Like, $22 million?" Brian asked again.

"Haha, just kidding, 40 million is the most reasonable price." Boyd is matching several parties with each other at the same time, and is emboldened.

"Oh." Brian laughed a few times and apologized for the deliberate pressure released by the other party, "Excuse me."

Afterwards, the two left the meeting room.

Just like that? Boyd was suspicious, but still didn't stay.

On the other hand, when they got back to the car, Johnson, who hadn't said much, frowned and said, "That's an inflated price, but there's something to be said for it, and I think he's just testing the waters.

Brian looks like he's been through it all, his tone is relaxed, and he looks a little cunning, "Do you think he can sell it for $40 million? Before I came here, would an established video site like Nefly or HUlu spend $40 million on something like this? The only way to survive is to split up and buy into the film library and package the membership. We'll talk at his door when he's a little wiser to reality."

The company's main purpose is to provide a platform for the development of a new generation of digital video products.

"The company has been in the process of developing the new product for the past two years, and is now in the process of developing the new product. The sooner they give up their delusions, the better it will be for us. In this way, the money we save will be more than enough to pay our commission."

They were the only ones in the car, and Brian didn't disguise his position for his own benefit.

"There's going to be substantial progress by the end of April." Johnson didn't say anything, just a reminder.

"Don't worry, it's just a gesture to show them."

"What about right now? Back to the hotel?"

The time was still about 3:00 pm.

Brian thought, "We can't contact them for the next few days, otherwise it still looks like we're in a hurry to acquire them. I'll tell you what, you can commission a headhunter to contact FOtv's algorithm group sometime, and do a double take."

"OK."

......

April 22, daytime. After overnight fermentation, Thor 2: The Dark World is attracting more moviegoers to the theater.

To be frank, it's far easier for audiences to develop the motivation to follow a movie with special effects and a clear setting like this than any other work on the market.

In a theater in Los Angeles, as the noise of waiting for a screening fades, Phil, an active film critic with a film website, puts on his 3D glasses, sits back and carries a sketchbook with him.

The only thing left in the darkened screening room was the big, bright screen in front of him.

Stirring music plays, and the Marvel logo appears, which belongs exclusively to Marvel.

The beginning of the movie is no mystery; the camera sweeps through the clouds and immediately arrives at a battlefield - a battlefield that is the only place in the world where Marvel's logo appears.

More than a thousand years ago, the brutal Dark Elves Malekith attempted to plunge the universe into endless night by borrowing the divine power of the Ether Particle, and Odin led the soldiers of Asgard to stop them.

To prevent this from happening again, Odin defeated the Dark Elves and sealed the Ether Particle somewhere, but their leader Malekith didn't die.

The background setting before the main film is hastily pulled away, and the timeline returns to the aftermath of the New York war.

Asgard, Sky Palace.

A sweep of beautiful pillars, a few warriors escorting Loki.

As the camera closes in, the bright primary colors, and the serious-looking Odin, give the audience a sense of not being angry, but also a sense of being in the background of the plot of the Fate of the Furious.

"Loki won't be executed, I remember Odin resenting the idea of someone starting a war, and he's not even his own." In the worried mutterings of some fans.

Loki, even shackled without much of an image, had a carefree look on his face, as if he didn't even realize that he had violated a cardinal rule.

Seeing his brother so unrepentant, Thor frowned and was about to say something, but the Goddess in his seat shouted with a complicated look, "Loki."

In just a few short shots, a pair of family members who made mistakes were simply depicted. Odin, however, was not accustomed to it, and suddenly the wand was struck, and the voice of the Goddess was heard everywhere, "Enough, you think what you are doing is right."

Loki raised his eyebrows and continued to smile at his mother, looking slightly sideways as if he was listening, but not even looking at Odin in the eye.

"Of course, I'm going to Earth to rule my own people. Is it wrong for me to go to Earth and rule over my own people?"

This father-son rivalry is still the same flavor from Part 1, through the big New York event, and the same disappointment in the corner of Odin's eye that hates it all the same.

"You brought death and killing, and you still think you're right?"

Loki's eyes grew colder as he lost his smile, "Don't be hypocritical, Father. -- alluding to the Frost Giants and Dark Elves who are now shrinking and withering forces. These are the men who fought against Odin.

Odin was cold and didn't even look disappointed anymore, much like he was facing a hopeless man: "You've been blinded by power."

"Heh." Loki scowled, proud as a peacock, "If you think I'm wrong, then please, have mercy on me and give me death." As soon as the words came out, the audience's hearts went to their throats.

What? Contributed to several famous scenes, played by the Hulk bad expressions widely spread to become a super British classic character is about to disappear.

The theater was silent, it was really a confrontational atmosphere is too rattling, even if the next second Odin said a sentence to give death, the audience can understand ......
