I'm a chaebol in South Korea

Chapter 342 Is this also called a condition?
After chatting with Stan Lee, Li Zhenyu confirmed that he was here for alms.

During this period of time, shouldn't Marvel have been hooking up with Disney in private, flirting with each other?

How could Stan Lee come here alone, looking for him, the God of Wealth, for alms.

"Those characters are like beloved children to me. No parent wants to sell their children to others."

Stan Lee wanted to ensure the independence of Marvel, and he personally didn't want the characters to be controlled by big companies.

Once merged into a big company, there are many things that he and Marvel will no longer have the final say on.

"So, what do you think?"

Li Zhenyu needs to understand his true intentions before deciding whether to do it or not.

Stan Lee wanted to bring in new investors and revitalize the company.

Like MGM right now.

Therefore, he is looking at the money in his pocket and sees hope in MGM.

"Price?"

"Marvel needs $2 million to launch a new project. You can ask for it, as long as it can guarantee its independence."

"What's the new project?"

"Iron Man 2."

Li Zhenyu remembers this film, and it seems that he made money, but it is not clear how much money he made.

2 million U.S. dollars. According to the transaction price of Disney's acquisition of Marvel, which is 40.9 billion U.S. dollars, Li Zhenyu can get 2% of the shares.

Such a small share does not mean much to him.

"10 billion, 35% equity..." Li Zhenyu raised his hand until Stan Lee was about to speak, and then said: "I can authorize the equity to you, as long as it can make money for me."

"Stan, I'm a businessman, pure businessman. I support whoever makes money for me."

"Of course, for those Marvel characters, I personally like them very much, but I prefer the value contained in them...money, understand?"

Li Zhenyu rubbed his fingers, fully expressing the greed of capitalists and philistines.

Stan Lee is happy about this, he likes a pure businessman like Li Zhenyu the most.

just make money,

Such an investor is as generous as a god in the eyes of those seeking funds.

"I'll discuss it with Fitch."

"discuss?"

Li Zhenyu narrowed his eyes slightly, and his expression was very playful.

This is clearly to let him express his position in public and give himself a clear answer.

"I'll convince him."

Stan Lee restrained his smile and made a serious promise to him.

Whether to give up part of the benefits and continue to control the future development direction of Marvel, or to package and sell it to Disney and become a puppet in the hands of others.

Stan Lee is not a qualified businessman, but this does not affect his correct judgment.

With Marvel alone, it is impossible to burn money.

With Li Zhenyu's $10 billion, they can start all the previous filming plans.

What's more, Marvel doesn't have enough resources to call.

Excellent film talents are almost won over by the Seven Great Filmmakers, and those who are living outside also have their own teams.

Outsiders want to use these talents, need to pay a huge price.

It is possible for a film to be a huge success and end up with no money at all.

All profits may be embezzled and hacked by large companies under various guises.

Good Will Hunting is a ready-made example.

Advanced equipment, concepts, the best venue, and an excellent production team are the important elements that make up a classic film.

Money is important, but when it is no longer an issue, it is worthless.

With the support of MGM's production team, Marvel's shooting plan will progress more smoothly.

"Li, I will convince Fitch, but 35% is too high."

"A billion dollars in cash, if he wants it, he should learn to accept it, not refuse it."

What Li Zhenyu gave was real money, not some stock replacement, to pay off debts.

If you want this money, you have to show the utmost sincerity.

He should understand the gap between buying and purchasing part of the equity in a package, and authorizing the equity to the other party. Kevin Fitch should also understand.

If he can't even figure this out, Li Zhenyu can only say 'It's really a pity. '

After chatting with Stan Lee, he hurriedly left early.

Seeing that Li Zhenyu was empty, Sam Mendes hurried forward and asked him if he had any ideas or suggestions for the next filming.

Sam Mendes doesn't want to do this. As a director in Hollywood, what he wants most is decision-making power.

But Li Zhenyu's identity and the promise given to him forced him to do so.

"Everything I want to say is in the script."

He wrote the script himself, so what else needs to be reminded.

Nope, it's all in the script.

"that's it?"

"Yes, that's it."

Sam couldn't hide his joy. To meet such a boss, he felt that he must have spent his life's luck.

There are no messy requests, and I will not intervene in the normal shooting of the crew. The money is straightforward and generous.

Just like to play with female stars, can this also be called a request?

If it wasn't for the age difference, Sam Mendes really wanted to ask him: "Dear Lee, can you be my godfather?"

Ah ~
Almost forgot about the kids, and the kids.

"Li, are you interested in being my child's godfather?"

Li Zhenyu was very surprised, how could he mention this suddenly, the relationship between them is not so good yet.

"I'm not religious, Sam."

Sam, who was overly excited before, regained his composure: "Sorry, I was a little too excited. Believe me, Li, it will definitely succeed."

Sam Mendes only used the reason of 'not believing in religion' to tactfully reject himself when he was taking care of his emotions.

How can anyone not believe in religion, where should his soul and his faith belong?

Besides, he's a businessman.

Another physicist would make him feel normal.

"Lee, we meet again."

Today, there are too many people who want to talk to him alone. As soon as Sam Mendes left, Monica, who is in charge of the beauty and sexiness of this film, came to the door.

"You look good, your face is radiant, and you have more... fresh breath than when we met before."

It is like a peony that is watered by rain and blooms brilliantly in the sun.

"Thank you."

Monica Bellucci thanked him with a complex expression.

Because, she didn't know whether this sentence was praising herself or Li Zhenyu's boasting.

He should know best why he became like this and who nourished him.

"What's up?"

Hearing his question, Monica blurted out what was in her mind, "I want to ask if you are free tonight. We can find a place to have a drink alone."

'alone' 'drink'

When these two elements are added together, the meaning expressed is no different from that of 'let's have a shot'.

"Sorry, I have an appointment..."

Seeing her disappointed expression, Li Zhenyu took out his mobile phone and shook it and said, "Maybe, I can ask her if she minds having more people."

Tonight, he has an appointment with the Hearst sisters.

To be precise, it was the Hurst sisters who had asked him to meet tonight on the Upper East Side, saying they had something important to talk to him in person.

Li Zhenyu actually didn't want to bother, but Lydia made it very clear on the phone.

There is something very important, and Amanda also said that she is not messing around.

Therefore, he could only ask the crew to make another trip.

He raised his wrist and looked at the time, "It's almost time, do you want to go together?"

Looking at the palm spread out in front of her, Monica didn't hesitate for long before giving her hand to him.

"When will you come back, do you want to talk to the director? The filming will officially start tomorrow."

"Don't worry, you will be able to appear on the set before dawn tomorrow morning at the latest."

Nodding to Zhao Xianzhu, the other party walked towards Sam Mendes who was telling everyone the story summary, how he won his directorship, the shooting plan and progress, etc.

Right now is the best time for hype, and the red envelope given at the end of the interview is not for nothing.

"Director Mendes, can you talk to me first?"

When Zhao Xianzhu returned to the car, the car immediately drove to the airport.

In 4 hours and 45 minutes, the Gulfstream G300 landed in New York smoothly, and the hands on the watch stopped at 5 o'clock in the afternoon.

Turn the knob, and the time goes back 3 hours, and it is now 2:35 New York time.

……

PS: The weather is really cool this year, it rains from time to time, and the highest is only 30 degrees.

I originally planned to install an on-hook, because I am fat, and now I am entangled, and I don’t think it is necessary at all!
