五年前华纳的一部《蝙蝠侠》以35万美元的成本,在票房和周边贩售上创造了不低于1亿美元的巨额利润。Ron Perelmanafterdeterminingownguess, firstthenthinks, ifFireflycovetsMarvel, itsgoaldefinitelyisin the Batman, Superman of MarvelhandandDCand otherrolepopularityequally matchedSuperheromoviecopyright.罗恩.佩雷尔曼在确定自己的猜测后,第一时间便想到,萤火虫如果觊觎漫威的话,其目标肯定是漫威手中与dc旗下的蝙蝠侠、超人等角色人气不相上下的超级英雄电影版权。

电话打到漫威纽约总部后,不到一个小时,罗恩.佩雷尔曼看着手中几份版权转让协议的传真文件,100确认了自己的猜测。Directlyalthoughin the FireflyhandgraspshasinsignificantBlademoviecopyright, andalsoin the FireflynewlineFilm Industryhand.

虽然萤火虫手中直接掌握的只有一个无足轻重的刀锋战士电影版权,并且还在萤火虫旗下新线影业手中。但从去年下半年开始,从萤火虫集团脱离的花朵影业便通过转让旗下影片注资权等方式,从一些拥有漫威超级英雄电影版权的小电影公司手中陆续获得了《蝙蝠侠》、《神奇四侠》和《绿巨人》的版权,而且,花朵影业目前还在和其他一些电影公司一起,竞争《x战警》的版权,这笔交易本来应该上半年结束,但因为花朵影业的参与,漫威为了能够卖到一个更好的价钱,一直待价而沽到现在。

再次通过电话以控股股东身份态度强硬地要求漫威ceo阿维.阿拉德立刻停止所有漫威超级英雄角色授权之后,罗恩.佩雷尔曼开始考虑起了下一步的计划。InFirefly Groupmorning'sthatstatementhas not mentionedDisneyAnimation Department, buthas sent out the threatasMarvelcreditor, then, thisexplained that Firefly Grouphas not given up the DisneyAnimation Departmentintention, in additionthis timeMarvel, Ron Perelmanimmediatelythoughtthatoneselfhadtwoimportantchipssuddenly, thesetwochips not only can helphimobtaindirectorFirefly Group the seat, evenalsolikelygoes a step further, becomes the Firefly Groupshareholder!萤火虫集团上午的那则声明中并没有提及迪斯尼动画部门,只是以漫威债权人的身份发出了威胁,那么,这说明萤火虫集团并没有放弃迪斯尼动画部门的意图,再加上此时的漫威,罗恩.佩雷尔曼的顿时觉得,自己突然之间拥有了两个重要的筹码,这两个筹码不但能够让他获得萤火虫集团董事席位,甚至还可能更进一步,成为萤火虫集团的股东！Butat present. How the matter of primary importanceactually the destiny of bankruptcy protectionavoidsMarvelfacing.
但眼下。最重要的事情却是如何避免漫威所面临的破产保护的命运。Once the bankruptcy protection of New Yorklocal courtauthorizationcreditorheaded byFirefly Grouprequested, thenMarvelwill faceby the destiny that the creditortakes over control, when the time comes, Marvelwill break away fromowncontrolthoroughly. As a supercapitalplayer.

一旦纽约地方法院批准以萤火虫集团为首的债权人的破产保护请求,那么漫威将面临被债权人接管的命运,到时候,漫威将彻底脱离自己的控制。作为一个超级资本玩家。罗恩.佩雷尔曼瞬间就能够想到一系列阻止漫威被破产保护的方法,但他同时意识到,萤火虫集团既然暗中筹划了这么久,留给他的时间绝对不会太宽裕,他很可能只剩下不到两周时间。And. The majoritypreventsMarvelby the way of bankruptcy protection, in the final analysisalsonothing else but a character, money.
而且。大部分阻止漫威被破产保护的方式,归根结底也无外乎一个字,钱。Butforthistimemoves into the plan of Firefly GroupBoard of Directors, Ron Perelmanwas usedto buy up the Firefly GroupbondAndrews Holdings Ltd. allfloating capital, parttemporarilyforcefullyreassignsto comefrom the Revlonand otherholding subsidiaries, inhishandwas impossibleto takeenoughfundto be used in the capital operation of Marvelin a short time.
但为了这次入驻萤火虫集团董事会的计划,罗恩.佩雷尔曼将安德鲁斯控股公司所有的流动资金都用来买进了萤火虫集团的债券,其中一部分还是临时从露华浓等控股子公司强行抽调而来的,他手中短时间内根本不可能拿出足够的资金用于漫威的资本运作。At present, the initiallayoutinsteadhas becomeshackles of being caught in one's own trap.
眼下,当初的布局反而成了一种作茧自缚的枷锁。

商务机上除了沃伦.巴菲特、汤姆.墨菲和大卫.韦斯特外,还包括卡森伯格以及萤火虫的首席法务爱德华.刘易斯,这些人将一同赶往纽约,利用各自的人脉和影响力,在最短时间内游说纽约地方法院批准漫威的破产保护申请。
In retaliate the stanceto exposethoroughlyafter the plan of Marvel. Ericbelieves that by the astuteness of Ron Perelman, canguessheart of Firefly the covetingtoMarvelabsolutely. However, the chip in Fireflyhandactuallyalsosurpasses the guess of Ron Perelman.
在彻底以报复姿态展露出对漫威的计划之后。艾瑞克相信以罗恩.佩雷尔曼的精明,绝对能够猜测出萤火虫对漫威的觊觎之心。不过,萤火虫手中的筹码却也远超过罗恩.佩雷尔曼的猜测。BesidesMarvelCEOAvi Aradhad won overbyFirefly, inbuying in the process of Marvelbond. FireflyalsocollectedmassiveRon Perelmanto carry on the contrarycapital operationusingMarvel the evidence.
除了漫威的ceo阿维.阿拉德已经被萤火虫拉拢以外,在吸纳漫威债券的过程中。萤火虫还搜集了大量罗恩.佩雷尔曼利用漫威进行违规资本运作的证据。Fireflyeveninvades the Marvelfinancingfunds the amountto be clearusingAndrews Holdings Ltd. includingRon Perelmanat this time. Marvelcurrentlong-termbondtotal amountaltogether553 millionUSD, butonly then730,000USDwas usedin the Marveldevelopmentrecent . Moreover the 470 millionUSDfundallflowed in the Andrews Holdings Ltd. account.萤火虫此时甚至连罗恩.佩雷尔曼利用安德鲁斯控股公司侵占漫威融资款的金额都一清二楚。漫威目前的长期债券总额一共5.53亿美元,但其中只有73万美元被用在了漫威最近几年的发展上,另外4.7亿美元的资金全部流入了安德鲁斯控股公司账户中。So long ascaptures the Marveldomination, obtains a more detailedunambiguous evidence, Ron Perelmanwantsto break out ofthiscrisis, the price of mustpayingwill go far beyond the 470 millionUSDinterests that itsgets.
只要夺取漫威的控制权,获得更加详细的确凿证据,罗恩.佩雷尔曼想要摆脱这次危机,所要付出的代价将远远超过其所获得的4.7亿美元利益。Looks at the gulf streamcommercemachineto vanishin the horizon. Erictakes back the vision, saidtofemaleassistantKelly Haynes: „Kelly, youthought that whatRon Perelmannextstepwill make?”
望着湾流商务机消失在天际。艾瑞克才收回目光,对身旁的女助理凯莉.海恩斯道:“凯莉,你觉得罗恩.佩雷尔曼下一步会做什么？”„NaturallypreservesMarvel,”KellyseatscarwithEric , to continue saying: „The most directway is the major stockholdercapitalpushes the highMarvelstock price, but, Ron Perelmantobuy up the Fireflybond, in the handsurelydid not haveenoughfloating capital, hedid not haveenoughtimeto gootherto raiseseveral billionsUSDfunds. Sincethismethodis invalid, Ithoughtthathedefinitelywill think the meansto make a verybigadvantagegoodnewsto preventMarvelby the bankruptcy protection.”
“当然是保全漫威啊,”凯莉跟着艾瑞克坐进汽车,继续道:“最直接的方式便是大股东注资推高漫威股价,不过,罗恩.佩雷尔曼为了买进萤火虫的债券,手中肯定没有足够的流动资金了,他也没有足够的时间去另外筹集数亿美元的资金。既然这种方法行不通,我觉得,他肯定会想办法制造一个非常大的利好消息来阻止漫威被破产保护。”„Advantagegoodnews,”Eric by the dermischair, saying: „FireflywantsMarvel, is the advantagegoodnews?”
“利好消息啊,”艾瑞克靠在真皮座椅上,道:“萤火虫想要漫威,算不算利好消息？”Kellysaid with a smile: „Naturallyconsider as finished, but, most peopledefinitelydo not think. Nowon the mediaregardingrecently the information of variouseventsinFireflybecameonegroup of messes, beforethismattersettles downthoroughly, wantsto clear offall theselong and short of the story, is not that easymatter.”凯莉笑道:“当然算了,不过,大部分人肯定不会这么认为。现在媒体上围绕在萤火虫最近各种事件的信息已经变得一团乱麻,在这件事彻底尘埃落定之前,想要理清这一切的来龙去脉,可不是那么容易的事情。”Ericrelaxesto narrow the eye, said: „More chaoticmoreis favorableforus, Ithink that some followingnews, definitelywill make the aspectmore chaotic.”艾瑞克放松地眯起眼睛,道:“越乱对我们就越有利,我想接下来的一些消息,肯定会让局面更加混乱的。”„When do youplanto lay cards on the tablewithAnimation Department?”
“你打算什么时候与动画部门摊牌？”Ericis having the self-confidentsmile, said: „Inwait/etc., sinceRon Perelmanneeds an advantagegoodnews, Disneyanimationsuchimportant‚advantageis good’usefullydefinitely.”( To be continued.)艾瑞克带着自信的微笑,道:“在等等,既然罗恩.佩雷尔曼需要一个利好消息,迪斯尼动画这么重要的‘利好’肯定用得上。”(未完待续。)
