Chapter 459: Small but interesting



Now, in the hands of an investor who has just joined Marvel, they see a complete and detailed feasible plan.

Taking "Iron Man" as the first stage, "The Incredible Hulk" was launched at the same time to introduce the Hulk, and then "Thor" was filmed to bring the character online.

Next, connect the three together to form a preliminary worldview.

Following closely behind was the reboot of "Captain America", with the addition of Spider-Man, Black Panther, Doctor Strange, and Captain Marvel.

While launching the IP projects independently, all the characters are made interrelated, and finally they are all put into "Avengers" to push the story and characters to a climax.

To be honest, everyone at Marvel was terrified when they saw this detailed plan.

How much confidence does the other party have in the Marvel Comics characters to be able to make such a huge filming plan.

Even they themselves do not have such great determination.

Don't use the views of future generations to interpret Marvel's current situation, because its current situation is still very precarious.

Before receiving the $1 billion investment from Li Zhenyu, Marvel could only live cautiously, and could easily go bankrupt if it was not careful.

Looking further ahead, the filming of "Iron Man" was Marvel's last wave of unwillingness to fail.

If the film had not been successful at the time, Marvel's backup plan would have been to sell all of its comic characters to pay off its debts.

Even if the film is successful, it will only give Marvel, which is on the verge of bankruptcy, a sigh of relief.

Now, Marvel, which just received a $1 billion investment, has finally gotten rid of the miserable situation that had kept it hanging.

But if he wants to develop according to his idea, the funds that ordinary people can't spend in ten lifetimes seem to be insufficient! "Li, is your plan too risky?"

The cartoonists below all have stars in their eyes, but if it comes to business, it would be terrifying.

Kevin Feige is the producer and is eager to present those cartoon characters on the big screen, but his purpose has never been a hobby.

Making money is the ultimate pleasure in his life.

Only with money can you spend every day on a yacht worth hundreds of millions and go out with young models worth tens of thousands.

Li Zhenyu's plan seemed too risky to him.

Of course, if successful, Marvel will become the most profitable film studio in Hollywood, bar none.

But a successful businessman should be like Goldman Sachs.

I can earn less, but no one can make me lose money...

Even if it seems like a sure-win business, Goldman Sachs will use hedging to eliminate risks, even if doing so will make them earn much less.

Those who take a gamble are not businessmen but speculators.

Such people are often fleeting like a fad.

How high-profile you are when you are glorious, how miserable you will be when you are down...

Seeing his expression, Li Zhenyu could guess what he was thinking. This was a speculator who thought he had achieved something and was starting to get carried away.

Who would have known that the "gamble" that they thought was full of risks was actually something they had already experienced once.

Take my cards at any time and tell me how to lose? Li Zhenyu also wanted to lose, but he had a pair of king bombs and four 2s, so he really couldn't afford to lose!

“You’re worried about funding…” Seeing Feige wanted to explain, Li Zhenyu said first: “I can understand, after all, Marvel’s situation has not been optimistic.

So, let's sign an agreement. I will be responsible for this project personally, and if there is a loss, Universal Capital will pay for it."

Fitch was ecstatic at first, and then stunned that such a good thing could fall into his hands.

But, what about the "but" at the end? "But..."

After hearing this, Fitch was finally relieved. This was normal.

"I want absolute control, no one else can interfere, and besides that, I want 70 percent of the net profits."

"No, that's too high."

He took away 70% of the net profit. Marvel is nothing. The remaining 30% is not even enough to pay the employees' salaries.

If Marvel really does this, it would be like working for them for free, or even at their own expense.

Pay for work yourself? Capitalists like Wang Defa and Feiqi want to cry after hearing this.

Stan Lee also joined the discussion and proposed a neutralization plan, giving him control, the company bearing half of the risk, and the profits distributed according to shares.

Of course, Li Zhenyu would never agree to take on more risks of accidents in his job, but only get the salary for his job. Where can I get such a good thing? Take me with you? You have to know that of the half of the risks borne by the company, 32% still belongs to him.

If the company loses money, does that mean he, as a major shareholder, doesn't need to invest? If so, he fully agrees.

After some intense discussions, the two sides finally reached a preliminary agreement.

Li Zhenyu is responsible for the overall project and has absolute control. The company bears half of the risk and the profits are also split equally.

"It's a pleasure working with you." Li Zhenyu said confidently.

"It's a pleasure working with you." Fitch held his hand with a complicated expression, feeling as if he had missed something.

But the heart that was always worried in the past finally got a sense of comfort and security.

You no longer have to worry about waking up to find out that your company has gone bankrupt, nor do you have to rack your brains over where to find a breakthrough or new investors.

Since he became the CEO of Marvel, his hair has been getting thinner and thinner, and he has been using more products such as hair growth tonic in his daily necessities.

Now, I can finally take a breath.

Two days later, the two parties signed the contract at OneWorld Capital, and after the signing, Fitch proposed a celebration.

He's booked a place in Beverly Hills and the girls are already there.

Li Zhenyu wanted to refuse, but he couldn't resist the kindness of the two people, so he got into the car reluctantly.

When we got there, the dark iron doors opened automatically.

Fitch opened the car door, indicating that we could get out. Li Zhenyu felt helpless, thinking that he could just drive straight in.

When we got out of the car and looked inside, we saw that there was only a very narrow tiled passage leading into the door. In front of us was the swimming pool where the party was held, and there was no place to park.

'What a small place!'

It's completely different from the Palm Manor that Zuckerberg arranged last time.

But when he saw the ups and downs of the waves beside the swimming pool, he suddenly changed his mind, "It's small, but also very interesting."

"Sir, attendants are not allowed to enter."

As soon as he entered the door, someone reminded him in his ear. Li Zhenyu turned around and saw Sean who was stopped outside the door.

At this moment, he was staring at the servant who stopped him with a bad expression, his eyes were cold and intimidating.

The two servants were frightened and lowered their heads guiltily, but they could not lower their arms to stop the attack due to their duty.

"Wait for me outside."

After hearing his boss' order, Sean retracted his threatening gaze and turned away.

Creak~ The iron door closed again, and the two servants still stood there with their arms raised.

"Hey, what are you two doing? The person has already left."

"Boss, my body seems to be numb."

Another attendant said in the same bitter and crying voice: "Me too."

As two law-abiding, lower-class citizens living in a free world, it is really too difficult.
