„Ron, I am an occupation Manager person, is not the capital player,” Avi Arad is pointing in the conference room the obsolete office supplies, said: „What had a look at your years to make, you only know that squeezed Marvel any surplus value, for these years many people walked, company not any vitality, but also was shouldering the large amount debt, if continued, Marvel definitely was dying, I was saving this company, wasn't right?” “罗恩,我是一个职业经理人,不是资本玩家,”阿维・阿拉德指着会议室里陈旧的办公用品,道:“看看你这些年都做了些什么,你只知道毫无节制地压榨漫威的任何一丝剩余价值,这几年很多人都走了,公司没有任何生机,还背负着巨额的债务,如果继续下去,漫威肯定就要死了,我只是在挽救这家公司,难道不对吗？” Ron on the Perelman face presents some awkwardness/ridicules however, but shamefully and angrily refutes immediately: „But you should not betray me, if you have any opinion, can definitely discuss with me.” 罗恩・佩雷尔曼脸上出现些许讪然,但立刻就恼羞成怒地反驳道:“但你不该背叛我,如果你有什么意见,完全可以与我商议。” Avi Arad hears Ron Perelman these words, almost want to laugh in spite of trying not to make noise: „Ron, you cannot record, how many do I have time almost am the hope discuss with you ‚’?” 阿维・阿拉德听到罗恩・佩雷尔曼这句话,几乎想要失笑出声:“罗恩,难道你真的记不起来,我有多少次几乎是祈求般地与你‘商议’过吗？” Does not know that is shames angry or awkward, Ron a Perelman vitality upwells, almost some emphasized incoherently once again: „You...... Don't forget, I am the owner in this company.” 不知道是羞恼还是尴尬,罗恩・佩雷尔曼一阵气血上涌,几乎有些语无伦次地又一次强调起来:“你……别忘了,我才是这家公司的主人。” „not anymore,” Avi Arad does not have suddenly again with Ron the interest of Perelman conversation, coldly throws down these words, similarly went out of the conference room. “马上就不是了,”阿维・阿拉德突然没有再与罗恩・佩雷尔曼交谈的兴趣,冷冷地丢下这句话,同样走出了会议室。 After a half hour, Katzenberg and Avi Arad and Ron the both sides respective attorney of Perelman as well as gathered in Marvel another conference room. 半个多小时后,卡森伯格、阿维・阿拉德、罗恩・佩雷尔曼以及双方各自的律师聚在了漫威的另外一间会议室里。 As if had not discovered slightly after tidying up mood, once more becomes Ron that has plenty of fight in one Perelman, Katzenberg opens one pack of thick documents that last night reorganizes temporarily, comes straight to the point saying: „Ron, currently you have two choices. First. Private settlement. Andrews Holdings Ltd. pays a sum of money. Buys all Marvel circulation stocks in market by the current stock price, then implements 100% debts to transfer shares of stock the strategy, gives us Marvel, I thought that this is the solution at present the best method of this aspect.” 仿佛丝毫没有发现收拾好情绪后再次变得斗志昂扬的罗恩・佩雷尔曼,卡森伯格翻开昨夜临时整理出来的一叠厚厚文件,开门见山道:“罗恩,现在你有两种选择。第一。私下和解。安德鲁斯控股公司出一笔钱。以当前的股价买下市场上的所有漫威流通股,然后实行100%债转股策略,将漫威交给我们,我个人觉得这是解决目前这种局面的最好方法。” Hears Ron the Perelman cold pshaw, Katzenberg did not mind that continues in one raw and cold formulation expression, said: „That, second. We will apply for the color to investigate to the behavior that Andrews Holdings Ltd. invades Marvel debt financing, although this investigation as well as afterward lawsuit will be time consuming, when but regardless of delays, in all evidence conclusive situations, you must return to invade all debt financing of Marvel as before, in addition will also face the color large amount fine, I promised you that does not have 1 billion USD, do not want to understand that this lawsuit, spends this billion USD. I think that you leave the bankruptcy not to be far.” 听到罗恩・佩雷尔曼的冷哼声,卡森伯格也不介意,继续以一种生冷的公式化语气,说道:“那么,第二。我们将申请色对安德鲁斯控股公司侵占漫威债务融资的行为进行调查,虽然这种调查以及随后的诉讼将会旷日持久,但无论拖延到什么时候,所有证据确凿的情况下,你依旧要退还侵占漫威的所有债务融资,此外还将面临色的巨额罚金,我向你保证,没有10亿美元,你不要想了解这笔官司,花掉这10亿美元。我想你离破产也就不远了。” Sits in Ron side a Perelman middle-aged person opens the mouth saying: „Mr. Katzenberg, can I regard as you am carrying on the threat to my litigant?” 坐在罗恩・佩雷尔曼身旁的一个中年人开口道:“卡森伯格先生,我可以看做你这是在对我的当事人进行恐吓吗？” Katzenberg looked at Ron Perelman attorney. The faint smile said: „You should know that I make the movie, therefore in this common lines nonsense of situation in the movie, this will appear you will be non-specialized.” 卡森伯格看了眼罗恩・佩雷尔曼的律师。似笑非笑地说道:“你应该知道,我是做电影的,所以不要在这种场合用电影里常见的台词胡言乱语,这会显得你非常不专业。” The middle-aged people have the attorneys basic insensitivity obviously, did not mind that the satire of Katzenberg, persists in saying: „Mr. Katzenberg, you have not answered my issue.” 中年人显然有着律师们基本的厚脸皮,毫不介意卡森伯格的讽刺,坚持道:“卡森伯格先生,你并没有回答我的问题。” Katzenberg shrugs saying: „I have not threatened your litigant, I plead a basic fact, as well as certain determinations of Firefly Group.” 卡森伯格耸耸肩道:“我并没有恐吓你的当事人,我只是在陈诉一个基本的事实,以及萤火虫集团的某些决心。” Ron Perelman prevented to continue anything's personal attorney, said to Katzenberg: „Jeffrey, these two conditions I will not elect, don't forget, the Marvel bankruptcy protection time was one month, so long as I can put out the solution in one month at present the reasonable plan of this matter, Marvel as before was my, no one want to rob.” 罗恩・佩雷尔曼阻止了想要继续说什么的私人律师,对卡森伯格道:“杰弗瑞,这两种条件我都不会选,别忘了,漫威的破产保护期是一个月时间,只要我能够在一个月内拿出解决目前这件事的合理方案,漫威就依旧是我的,谁也别想抢走。” „Right, is one month, but......” the Katzenberg expression contemptuously said: „You cannot put out any can let the method that Marvel brings back to life, because of present Marvel, the completeness is only a spatial shell, can barely revolve besides the toy department beside, Marvel Films, spatial shell \; Marvel television, spatial shell \; Music department, spatial shell \; Marvel basis, cartoon department, two years ago is responsible for «X-Men» and «Fantastic Four» and other main popularity cartoons creates seven editors-in-chief who to leave, now also with spatial shell not different, Ron Mr. Perelman, you told me, how did you plan to make Marvel bring back to life?” “没错,是一个月时间,不过……”卡森伯格语气轻蔑地说道:“你根本拿不出任何能够让漫威起死回生的方法,因为现在的漫威,完完全全就只是一个空壳子,除了玩具部门还能勉强运转之外,漫威电影,空壳子\;漫威电视,空壳子\;音乐部门,空壳子\;就连漫威的根本,漫画部门,两年前负责《战警》、《神奇四侠》等主要人气漫画创作的七位主笔全部出走,现在也与空壳子无异,罗恩・佩雷尔曼先生,你来告诉我,你打算如何让漫威起死回生？” Ron Perelman exclaimed to Katzenberg unquestioning: „Do not think that I do not know, Firefly Group does not care about these that you said that you want truly, is only Superhero copyright of Marvel, I told you, you will not prevail absolutely, I rather sold to any third party Marvel with USD, will not give Firefly.” 罗恩・佩雷尔曼毫不迟疑地冲卡森伯格吼道:“别以为我不知道,萤火虫集团根本就不在意你说的这些,你们真正想要的,只是漫威旗下的超级英雄版权而已,我告诉你,你们绝对不会得逞的,我宁愿用一美元把漫威卖给任何第三方,都不会交给萤火虫。” Temperament very irritable Katzenberg similarly raised the voice: „But you had not sold to the third party Marvel USD now the jurisdiction, because the federal court will not allow you to make this type action that infringes the creditor benefit, even if must sell, you also can only sell to Firefly.” 脾气本来就非常火爆的卡森伯格同样提高了嗓门:“但你现在根本就没有把漫威一美元卖给第三方的权限,因为联邦法院不会允许你做出这种损害债权人利益的举动,就算要卖,你也只能卖给萤火虫。” „Wants not to think, always only then I snatch the thing from others hand, no one hit being my thing robs.” “想都别想,从来都只有我从别人手中抢东西,谁也别打把属于我的东西抢走。” „You think that now or the 80's, went to Downtown to have a look, Drexel Burnham Lambert already did not exist, did not exist!” “你以为现在还是八十年代吗,去下城区看看吧,德崇证券早就不存在了,不存在了！” „......” “……” „......” “……” The unfriendly meeting erupted field excitation row of quarrels quickly, when both sides almost wants the fists and feet to quarrel, Avi that surrounds Arad and other talented people recovered, hastily Katzenberg and Ron Perelman pulls open. 本就非常不友好的会面很快爆发成一场激列的争吵,在双方几乎要拳脚相向的时候,围观的阿维・阿拉德等人才回过神来,连忙将卡森伯格和罗恩・佩雷尔曼拉开。 Fell a thing of entire office crazily, Ron under Perelman finally returned to normal the mood, was leading the attorney and assistant does not greet left Marvel Headquarters. 疯狂地摔掉了一整个办公室的东西,罗恩・佩雷尔曼才终于平复下情绪,带着律师和助理丝毫不打招呼地离开了漫威总部。 In Los Angeles Eric first from worrying about the matter, because this quarrel presents Avi of accident again in the Arad telephone knew them to erupt the conflict the news, but was too not actually worried, if wanted to take Marvel with the temperate method, Eric can send Frank Wells was responsible for this matter, but will such do will only let Ron Perelman reached out for a yard after taking an inch. The Katzenberg powerful hot tempered disposition can restrain Ron exactly being insatiably greedy of Perelman. 身在洛杉矶的艾瑞克第一时间就从担忧事情因为这场争吵再次出现变故的阿维・阿拉德电话里知晓了两人爆发冲突的消息,但却并不是太担心,如果想要用温和手段拿下漫威,艾瑞克本可以派弗兰克・威尔斯负责这件事,但这么做只会让罗恩・佩雷尔曼得寸进尺。卡森伯格强势暴躁的性格恰好能够克制罗恩・佩雷尔曼的贪得无厌。 After the first negotiations part on bad terms, Ron Perelman has not continued to contact with Firefly, instead immediately has flown Los Angeles, attempts the burden that is doomed unable to detain to hand over Marvel this once more to Hollywood several big Film Studio, but the vision pays attention to Disney Animation Department Hollywood nobody to pay attention to Ron completely as before Perelman. Realized that is impossible to obtain Matsushita to support to purchase Animation Department Michael meaning that Eisner has not gotten rid, because he realized similarly regrettably that Japanese will not support Universal similarly, because Marvel and Firefly erupt to conflict. 第一次谈判不欢而散之后,罗恩・佩雷尔曼没有继续与萤火虫接触,反而立刻飞到了洛杉矶,企图再次将漫威这个注定留不住的包袱转手给好莱坞几大电影公司,但目光全部都关注着迪斯尼动画部门的好莱坞依旧没人理会罗恩・佩雷尔曼。就连意识到不可能得到松下支持收购动画部门的迈克尔・艾斯纳都没有出手的意思,因为他同样非常遗憾地意识到,日本人同样不会支持环球因为漫威与萤火虫爆发冲突。 Afterward, Ron Perelman does not lose heart as before probes in the company that the entertainment industry is interested. But the strength slightly weak company does not want to go simultaneously to provoke the capital forces that United States first and second largest rich and powerful people represent majority. Strength enough company also realized that wants to solve the Marvel predicament, needs to invest several billions USD funds, even if under snatching Marvel, wants to develop Marvel movie copyright, cannot leave the support of Hollywood as before. But as the Hollywood biggest local bully, Firefly will definitely not make their these snatched themselves ‚game’ the outcomer have any auspicious day, finally gain does not equal the loss. 随后,罗恩・佩雷尔曼依旧不死心地去试探一些对娱乐产业感兴趣的公司。但实力稍弱的公司大部分都不想去同时招惹美国第一和第二大富豪所代表的资本势力。实力足够的公司也意识到想要解决漫威的困局,需要投入数亿美元的资金,但即使抢下漫威,想要开发漫威的电影版权,依旧离不开好莱坞的支持。而作为好莱坞最大的地头蛇,萤火虫肯定不会让他们这些抢了自己‘猎物’的外来者有什么好日子过,最终还是得不偿失。 But, Ron Perelman even hit in the hand the idea of that Firefly long-term bond. 无奈之下,罗恩・佩雷尔曼甚至打起了手中那笔萤火虫长期债券的主意。 But finally lets it go as before, not to mention Andrews Holdings Ltd. that bond value four hundred million USD, are not only able to make up for the debt of Marvel, moreover realized that Ron Perelman recent predicament, these intend to take over the bond the investment company initial price to be one by one low, bids high must hit the 10% discount, several months hand over are the loss of 40 million USD, Ron Perelman is hard to accept similarly. 但最后依旧不了了之,且不说安德鲁斯控股公司那笔债券只值四亿美元,根本无法弥补漫威的亏空,而且意识到罗恩・佩雷尔曼最近的窘况,那些有意接手债券的投资公司开价一家比一家低,出价最高的也要打九折,几个月转手就是4000万美元的损失,罗恩・佩雷尔曼同样难以接受。 So crossed for one week, the meaning of that side Firefly as if slightly not having urged, but Ron Perelman actually discovered one already dead end. 如此又过了一个多星期,萤火虫那边似乎丝毫没有催促的意思,但罗恩・佩雷尔曼却发现自己已经穷途末路。 Continues to refuse to compromise, dragging in one month bankruptcy protection time unable to take any feasible corporate restructuring measure as before, Marvel will face the forced liquidation. 继续僵持下去,拖过了一个月的破产保护期依旧拿不出任何可行性的公司重组措施,漫威就将面临强制破产清算。 On the morning of August 21, Avi Arad just seated own office, received Ron the Perelman telephone, in the microphone the somewhat hoarse sound is supporting the last powerful reluctantly: „I do not want to see Jeffrey again Katzenberg, I want Eric Williams spoke face-to-face with me personally discussed.” 8月21日一大早,阿维・阿拉德刚刚坐进自己的办公室,就接到了罗恩・佩雷尔曼的电话,话筒里有些沙哑的声音勉强撑着最后一点强势:“我不想再见到杰弗瑞・卡森伯格,我要艾瑞克・威廉姆斯亲自面谈跟我谈。” ...... …… *( to be continued.) *(未完待续。)
