American Fortune Life

Andy stood in front of the hood mirror in Ike's CEO's office, smelling the charming scent of Chanel No. 5 on the little assistant, and let her help him adjust his tie and shirt collar.

"Okay, that's it."

Andy looked at himself in the mirror and felt very well, "How is the preparation outside?"

"It's almost there. Mr. Perlmutter's secretary has already called. You can go down. The hall has been packed. The press conference was notified to various media outlets yesterday." Tori's eyes were full of admiration and admiration, and he looked up. Helping his big devil carefully stretch some inconspicuous creases in his suit.

"Let's go." Andy stretched out his hand to pinch the chin of the little assistant who was a little oestrus, and said solemnly, "Little Slut! Excited again?"

Tori blushed and fair-faced, biting her lips a little shyly, squinting her eyes slightly, and nodded shyly, Andy rolled her eyes angrily, "You're just as excited about making money, and you're also excited about spending money! "

"But... this is Marvel!" the little assistant said excitedly.

Well, after all, Andy is not a complete American. He doesn’t care enough about American cultural symbols, and only pays attention to money interests. The images of characters like Monkey King in Journey to the West are average.

Is it a cultural symbol?

Andy took the elevator to the first floor of the press conference hall with Tory Blake in a turbulent mood. The elevator door opened, and Ike and several people were already waiting not far from the elevator entrance.

"Boss, hundreds of media outlets are here..."

The corners of Andy's mouth twitched, "You, Stan, and David, the four of us went up together, just in time for today's opportunity, to do a pre-heating promotion of the movie first, and release the news of the formation of the Iron Man crew, for the next The advertisers who come down will do the publicity."

The big boss ordered, and his subordinates naturally had to follow suit. There were originally three chairs on the rostrum, but soon the staff brought another one.

There were hundreds of reporters sitting in the audience, and more than a dozen cameras were set up in the front. The scene was a little noisy and full of discussions.

Soon, a good-looking woman from Marvel Entertainment Group, wearing a gray suit, walked onto the stage with a smile on her face, stood in front of the host stage, and said into the microphone: "Please be quiet, the press conference will begin soon."

The scene was reminded by this sound,

It soon became quiet, and they all held up their cameras one by one, staring at the door at the side of the hall as if they were trying to catch prey.

"Thank you for coming to the press conference of Marvel Entertainment Group. Next, I would like to invite Andy Smith, the new chairman of Marvel Entertainment Group, Ike Perlmutter, the CEO, Stan Lee, the chief consultant of Marvel Entertainment Group, and the new director of Marvel Studios. CEO David Messer..."

As soon as the host's voice fell, Andy walked into the hall first, and then there was a vast expanse of whiteness in front of him, and the shutter sound kept ringing.

Andy has always had a faint smile on his face, calm, steady steps, and tall and straight body, giving people an extremely confident impression, which is also the feeling he has always given people.

After the four of them sat down on the rostrum one by one, the host began to talk blah blah blah, briefly introduced the situation, and then Andy and the others flattered each other a few words, what an honor to be a member of Marvel, Marvel What a great company it is. The reporters didn’t bother to listen carefully to the unnutritive words. Of course, everyone knows that the real highlight of the press conference is the questioning session, and everyone is silently thinking about asking questions. The question and waiting for the above few people are finished.

"Thank you, friends from the media, for coming. Now is the time to answer questions from reporters..."

Before the host finished speaking, the reporters below stood up like a group of flies, raised their hands high, and started buzzing. The scene was incomparably chaotic. Andy rolled his eyes, and the group of reporters also went crazy Well, I seldom accept interviews, and I managed to catch one. Naturally, these reporters would not let go of the opportunity that Andy had to cooperate with.

"You guys are just wasting time by being so noisy! Everyone calm down and ask questions one by one. Today, I will try my best to satisfy everyone's questions." Andy's clear voice sounded, making the noisy reporters immediately quiet down. It was so strong that Stan Lee and the others looked at Andy in surprise.

"In the first row, that female reporter in the red coat, give her a microphone." Andy pointed to a handsome blond girl with her hands raised high, and said to the microphone in front of her.

"I'm Jenny, a reporter from the New York Post. Thank you, Mr. Smith, for giving me the first opportunity to ask a question. It is reported that your acquisition was based on high leverage. You just Using 500 million US dollars of your own funds, will this increase Marvel’s debt burden? Do you have any specific profit plans after taking over Marvel?”

"Hehe, it seems that your news is really well-informed. Yes, I used a leveraged buyout, but it's not because I don't have enough money, and my leveraged buyout is different from the previous ones. The loan is between me and the bank. It has nothing to do with Marvel. The cooperation between Bank of America and me has always been very pleasant. I would also like to thank them for their trust. At the same time, Bank of America has taken over all the debts and is now the largest creditor of Marvel. That’s all. Originally, I hoped to transfer the debt to myself, but Stan Lee decided to retain some of the shares. In this case, the transfer cannot be done. However, Bank of America has given us enough trust. They believe that the future of our Marvel It can bring them sufficient and stable benefits, that is to say, whether it is leverage or debt, it is not a problem for us at Marvel, and we have the confidence and strength to repay all loans.

As for the profit plan you asked about, this cannot tell you, it is related to the strategic layout of Marvel for the next 20 years, but I can tell you a piece of news, we have decided to start the movie plan immediately, and put our superheroes on the big screen again. Screen, after everyone's unanimous research, we chose Iron Man Tony Stark. . . "

"I'm from the Wall Street Journal..."

"I'm from the New York Times..."

"Weekly newspaper..."

. . . . . .

Andy seemed to really cooperate with the media's questions. Well, although they were all asked by him, he was very cunning and passed some questions to the other three, and he easily became the host, letting The reporters in the audience were dumbfounded.

"Okay, it's almost time, the last question. Just you," Andy said, pointing to a female reporter in the last row who was wearing a white shirt with a hot bust.

"Thank you, I am..., I want to ask Mr. Smith, there is news that you have plans to enter the sports world, and your think tank is building a sports advisory group for you, including football, basketball, baseball and football. Professionals, can you think that you will acquire these types of ball teams in the future? If so, do you have any favorite target teams?"

Andy really admires how powerful this group of people are. Nima, it seems that he has to be more careful in the future. If he really relaxes his vigilance that day, if his big news is photographed by this group of people, it will really be over.

"It's another question that has nothing to do with today's topic. It seems that this lady is not worried at all about my refusal to answer. Forget it. Since this is the last question, it doesn't matter if I say something else. That's right, I have this idea. Of course, this is just the preparation stage of the plan, and it may take a long time to realize. As for the goal you asked, hehe, I am a New Yorker, so I naturally hope to own a New York team. Unfortunately, my money is too much. Less, whether it is the Yankees or the New York Knicks, even if I want to buy, the owners of these two teams may not necessarily sell, so it is useless to say that the goal is not the goal. I am a sports fan and I also participate in it. Or, I like competitive sports, so I am willing to participate in it. All kinds of teams and clubs need detailed inspection and understanding before making a decision. This is also a long-term plan, and it will not be accomplished overnight. Okay, so be it, Thank you for being able to participate in our Marvel press conference today, I have prepared a souvenir for you, I hope you can support our Marvel company a lot in the future, thank you."

After speaking, Andy stood up from his seat, with a rare bright smile on his face, which is rare for reporters, waved to them, and left the venue with the three people on the stage, ignoring the being The security guards stopped the unrepentant reporters and the flashing lights that wanted to rush over to ask questions.

"Okay, Ike, the office is returned to the original owner, and the follow-up work will be handed over to you. Tom from the financial department and Jerry from the legal department will fully cooperate with your work. Marvel Studios will control the funds if you control the funds. Yes, the last loan of more than 500 million yuan left over 370 million yuan, which is enough for filming, post-production and publicity, as for the negotiation with Paramount, it needs to be resolved as soon as possible." Andy said with a smile on his face. Holding Ike Pilmut and said.

"I understand, boss." Ike is very grateful for Andy's trust. As for the financial department and the legal department, anyone who knows about Andy knows that those are the two departments that this young boss values ​​most. Every time the company is acquired, these two departments will be replaced by people from his think tank. This is what it should be, there is no restrictive power, and to be honest, Ike himself can't guarantee that he won't mess around.

In the car, Al and Andy were laughing and chatting about some interesting things. Andy looked in the mirror and noticed that Joseph looked at him several times.

"Joseph, what's the matter?"

Joseph turned around and said to Andy: "Boss, the two teams of Kenny and I have returned to the mainland of the United States and are taking a short vacation. The company's various certificates and licenses have also been obtained. Now the remaining Now you have designated a training base, Mr. Vitley and I have already discussed it, it is best to choose an area with a large enough area and a variety of terrain..."
