PDLP Chapter 143: Win Marvel Entertainment
Chapter 143: Win Marvel Entertainment
However, after hearing her father's words, Ivanka froze and looked at the ruby necklace in the box in her hand.
In the Cadillac car, Elizabeth sat on the side with a smile and said:
"Ivanka, won't you be moved by that little gift!?"
But Lin Xuan looked at her and said:
"You don't seem to be jealous at all, can you tell me why?"
Regarding this, Elizabeth immediately smiled and said:
"I'm jealous, honey, and I want a necklace too!"
"Go to Tiffany on Fifth Avenue!"
Lin Xuan said to the female driver ahead.
Hearing this, Elizabeth smiled and nodded to the female driver.
In this way, Lin Xuan bought a yellow diamond necklace worth about $3 million at Tiffany.
Someone is satisfied.
But during this period of time, Marvel Entertainment suffered a very serious blow.
Although Avi Arad, who is the major shareholder of the company, received the acquisition offer from Polaris Capital,
But this matter has been discussed for half a year, and in the end Avi Arad still has not made a decision.
After all, after the "Spider-Man" IP storm released by Sony Pictures,
Marvel Entertainment wanted to give it a try by itself, turning a bicycle into a motorcycle.
Of course, they didn't refuse Polaris' acquisition offer either, and they talked about it.
Anyway, for the investment community, this kind of acquisition of hundreds of millions of dollars is considered normal even if it takes a year or two to discuss.
However, when Avi Arad took the copyright of the captain, Nick Fury and other characters to the bank for a loan,
They were rejected.
All the major banks in Niuyue seemed to be the best in the business, and they rejected Marvel's loan one after another.
The reason is that the risk is too great.
If Marvel goes bankrupt, they may not be able to recover the loan just by relying on the copyright of these characters.
In fact, these banks were greeted by Elizabeth's,
She relies on her influence to make Marvel cornered.
And since Marvel can't get a loan, then the film "Iron Man 1" in preparation naturally has no money to shoot.
No way, Marvel can only return to the negotiating table again.
The initial offer from Polaris Capital to Marvel Entertainment was $1.5 billion.
However, Avi Arad, the CEO, did not agree with this offer. He believed that Marvel was worth at least 3 billion or more.
This is also the main reason why Marvel Entertainment did not agree to the Polaris acquisition.
Although the current Marvel has become a tool for IP authorization, Marvel's income every year is based on the authorized comic characters.
But a lean camel is bigger than a horse, Avi Arad was not in a state of exhaustion before,
And he believes that Marvel still has a large number of comic IP characters, which is a huge wealth.
But with the failure of this loan, Avi Arad began to have to consider the acquisition of Polaris Capital.
At this time, Polaris Capital will have increased the price by US$2.2 billion.
Although it is still far from the price in Avia Arad's heart,
But this price is much more sincere than $1.5 billion.
So (bgfh), at the end of July, the two sides started talking again in California.
This time because of Lin Xuan's direct instruction, in order to avoid long nights and dreams.
Lin Xuan is going to take down Marvel completely before he leaves the beautiful country.
Therefore, Polaris Capital started constructive negotiations this time.
After Avi Arad was unable to get a loan, he fell into despair again at this time,
In the end, Marvel executives agreed to Polaris' offer,
Acquisition for $2.9 billion.
The two parties then signed an acquisition contract in early August.
Polaris first acquired the shares of shareholders, including Avi Arad, at a price of US$1.4 billion.
Obtained 48% of the shares.
In addition, Polaris previously took advantage of the downturn in Marvel's stock price in the stock market to obtain a 13% stake.
So far, Marvel has actually been controlled by Polaris Capital.
After receiving the news of the successful acquisition of Marvel,
Lin Xuan is very happy in Elizabeth's Long Island villa.
This means that he has successfully won the stepping stone to Hollywood in the future.
However, during this time Lin Xuan lived with Elizabeth and discovered some of her little secrets.
One day, he saw Elizabeth and the glamorous secretary Miss Disa interacting with each other.
So there are tabloid rumors that Elizabeth is actually gay, which is not groundless.
And during this time, she even actively invited Ivanka for Lin Xuan.
This made Lin Xuan seriously doubt the real purpose of this man.
Is this for him or for himself.
However, Lin Xuan did not guess that Elizabeth was bisexual.
Anyway, as long as it is not a man, is the matter between women called a matter?
At this time, Lin Xuan was accompanying Ivanka at the Long Island villa,
In fact, it is a villa, more like a manor,
The entire manor occupies a huge area, except for a white three-story main building, surrounded by huge lawns.
Directly in front of the main building is a private small lake specially dug, and on both sides are huge birch trees transported from the south.
In addition, this manor has a professional horse farm and horse workshop.
Many of them are world-class famous horses.
Among them is a British thoroughbred horse worth as much as 5 million US dollars.
There are many other precious Arabian horses.
For this villa alone, Elizabeth spent more than 100 million US dollars.
It goes without saying that the money was authorized by Lin Xuan.
After all, how could an old rich woman from Europa not have a luxurious real estate.
This is unimaginable for the Western tradition of holding banquets every three days.
Including the large flat floor of the mansion in Manhattan,
In total, Lin Xuan purchased two properties in Niuyue Elizabeth.
It is precisely because of these two houses, coupled with the strong financial strength of Polaris,
This allowed Elizabeth to quickly enter the upper class.
And even in New York, the golden place everywhere,
In 2005, estates with hundreds of millions of dollars were rare.
During the past year, Elizabeth has entertained many celebrities at her villa on Long Island.
Even President Xiaobu and his wife have been here.
So this manor is very famous in the upper class of New York.
At this time, Lin Xuan and Ivanka rode horses for a walk in the horse farm of the manor.
Both of them were wearing equestrian clothes, which was the combination of black and white clothes and long boots.
"When I was a child, I dreamed of owning a horse farm, and then riding my beloved bay horse galloping in the horse farm!"
Ivanka said with a smile, riding a black Arabian horse.
"Really?" Lin Xuan said with a slight smile:
"I used to think about galloping on the grassland, riding horses and whips!"
"Is it like a cowboy?"
Ivanka asked very curiously.
"Well, almost, similar to Red Dead Redemption!"
Lin Xuan says
"Every man has a cowboy dream in his heart, right?"
Ivanka smiled.
"It should be a martial arts dream!"
Lin Xuan thought in his heart.
Then he said:
"I heard that Jard is pursuing you crazily, is it true?"
Hearing this, Ivanka smiled slightly and asked:
"Mike, you care!?"
In fact, after a period of Elizabeth's invitation,
She and Lin Xuan are quite familiar with each other.
For this very handsome young man, Ivanka still has a good impression.
Of course, this definitely has nothing to do with liking.
After all, people are beautiful animals.
In the eyes of a white girl like Ivanka, Lin Xuan's appearance is equivalent to that of a florist looking at Leonardo DiCaprio,
Handsome has no friends.
Otherwise, Anna Wintour, the editor-in-chief of "Vogue", would not have wanted Lin Xuan to shoot a fashion magazine as soon as she saw Lin Xuan.
If compared with him, Jard, who was originally handsome, was completely reduced to the role of a passerby.
At least when she was with Lin Xuan, Ivanka never had Gard in her mind.
Even if Jaard pursued Ivanka crazily after that charity auction,
Fresh flowers are delivered to the company's offices every day.
Then, once Ivanka got off work, he drove the Porsche to pick her up.
It's a pity that Ivanka threw the flowers into the trash can without even looking at them.
And Ivanka has a special driver to pick her up after get off work every day, and it's not Jard's turn.
This leaves Jard with no chance.
