Although Ding Shuo had a strong personality, he was not the kind of person who would not let his subordinates speak.
Even if his subordinates said something, he might not listen.
However, he was also willing to give them a chance to express their opinions.
Although Ding Shuo had a strong personality, he was not the kind of person who would not let his subordinates speak.
Even if his subordinates said something, he might not listen.
After all, in the next ten years, he might be able to rely on the advantages brought by his rebirth.
He had a clear judgment and understanding of the future.
However, after 23 years, he no longer had such an advantage.
At that time, it was very easy to fall into an 'information island' and make mistakes in decision-making.
Therefore, Ding Shuo planned to develop the habit of letting his 'subordinates' speak from the beginning.
Therefore, he was not angry with Wendes's advice. Instead, he praised his actions.
"Wendes, I'm very satisfied with your cautious and steady personality!”
"If you had come to Marvel earlier, this company wouldn't have been in a state of loss for years!”
This evaluation made the originally nervous Mandis relax.
He admired Ding Shuo more and more in his heart. He had such achievements at such a young age, but he was not arrogant or impatient and could still listen to others.
This job hopping was definitely the right choice. Following such a boss would definitely have a bright future.
Ding Shuo continued,"I understand your worries, Wendis.”
"However,'Iron Man' plays a key role in my 'Avengers Alliance' plan.”
"It's the first work of the Avengers Alliance, so it has to be a hit.”
"Therefore, it is necessary to invest heavily in it!”
"At the same time, Iron Man's popularity can support such a large investment!”
"You just need to close the door well and let the money be spent where it should be spent!”
Ding Shuo knew very well that the tall, rich, and handsome Iron Man had raked in 585 million yuan at the global box office after its release.
He also started the Avengers project and became a major contributor to the Marvel series '20 billion USD box office.
In the original time and space, Iron Man was an investment of 140 million US dollars.
He only had an extra ten million dollars to invest.
Moreover, he was also preparing to use this money to promote the game.
He wanted to see if he could make the total box office sales exceed 600 million USD and become an existence of another magnitude.
After talking about Iron Man, Ding Shuo's expression became serious again and he talked about an important matter.
"In addition, we have to reconsider the superhero IPs that Marvel has rented and sold.”
"These superhero IPs are all priceless treasures of Marvel.”
"They were sold for various reasons. Now it's time to let them go home!”
Ding Shuo knew very well that the future development of Hollywood movies would be dominated by movies adapted from popular IPs.
It could be said that superheroes had completely dominated Hollywood's summer season.
Over the years, Marvel had rented or sold superhero IPs, including the adaptation rights to classic characters such as the Fantastic Four, X-Men, Daredevil, and Hulk.
For example, the rights to the X-Men adaptation were sold to 20th Century Fox, and the rights to Spiderman were sold to Sonny after a lawsuit.
Since Ding Shuo had acquired Marvel, he naturally planned to take back the superhero IP that should have belonged to Marvel.
There was a joke in Hollywood that was, ever since Spider-Man and Iron Man became sold well, what kind of movie was the easiest to make money from?
A lawncutter in Beverly Hills could tell you-adapt a comic book hero movie!
And Spider-Man was released by Marvel…
However, when the others in the meeting room heard Ding Shuo's words, they all looked at each other in dismay.
In the end, it was a senior vice president of Marvel who mustered up his courage and raised his hand to speak.
"Boss, I'm afraid this won't be easy. Even if we force it, we'll have to pay more than a billion USD in penalty fees…"
Of course, Ding Shuo could afford the one billion USD penalty.
He also thought that spending a billion dollars to buy back popular superhero IPs like Spider-Man, X-Men, Wolverine, and Deadpool was definitely worth it.
But even if he had money, he couldn't be a sucker. If he could spend less money to get things done, he would spend as little money as possible.
Therefore, Ding Shuo said," Let the legal team renegotiate with them and keep dragging them with the lawsuit!"”
"Also, the production team should be prepared to replicate the superhero's abilities at any time.”
"If they insist on being tough, then we'll scrap the superheroes we sold and introduce new heroes!”
"In short, we can't film it, and we definitely can't let them film it. At most, we won't earn this money.”
"My bottom line is 500 million USD as a penalty for breaching the contract and taking back all the superheroes who ran away!”
"If you can fulfill my requirements, you will receive a prize of 50 million US dollars!”
"In addition, for every 100 million less in penalty, the bonus will increase by 20 million!”
Everyone in the meeting room was excited.
Nothing could boost morale better than real money.
……
After Ding Shuo finished arranging all the important matters, he announced the end of the meeting.
He also made an appointment with Davis to discuss the investment.
The year 2006 could be said to be the last time to invest in the first half of the Internet.
Some of the future giants were still at their lowest point.
For example, after experiencing the dot-com economic bubble of about 2,000 years.
Its market value had gone from more than 600 billion US dollars at its peak to about 200 billion US dollars now.
In ten years, his market value would even exceed two trillion US dollars.
Therefore, the return on investment was very high.
The company with the highest return on investment was still Apple. The company with the world's largest market value in the future only had a market value of more than 60 billion US dollars.
Amazon, Google, and the like were also existences that could pick up big leaks.
Ding Shuo didn't return the loan from the bank, so he still had 25 billion USD in his hands.
It seemed like a lot, but in the face of so many opportunities, it seemed insignificant.
Therefore, Ding Shuo was ready to find Davis, the senior vice president of JPM Morgan Chase, to play big again.
He clearly remembered that the price of gold had depreciated due to the Federal Reserve printing money to save the market.
In a deflated economy, cash assets were the most safe asset.
Therefore, the price of international gold futures fell from more than 930 US dollars per ounce to 730 US dollars per ounce in just a few days.
However, this downward trend would only last for two weeks.
In two weeks, the price of gold futures would soar to more than 1,600 US dollars per ounce.
Moreover, this upward trend would continue for three years and eventually exceed 2,000 US dollars per ounce.
In other words, if Ding Shuo's current net worth was all in gold futures, his net worth would more than double in two weeks.
At that time, technology companies, including Apple, were affected by the financial tsunami.
The stock price would drop drastically.
It would be a good time for Ding Shuo to buy the bottom again!
