Marvel Entertainment had been acquired by Wind and Rain Holdings. Although it is not fully owned by Wind and Rain Holdings, it is the absolute controlling shareholder. Wind and Rain Holdings had paid a lot of money for this, and many people felt that Feng Yu had lost his mind this time. A comic company is not worth so much.
Also, Feng Yu had purposely acquired Lucasfilm for its subsidiary, Polishing Industries, the world's top special effects company.
At the same time, Feng Yu's good friend, Europe's richest man, had acquired the world's top Vita Digital, and it is said that it is to cooperate with Feng Yu's special effects.
The funniest thing is Feng Yu had invested in Cameron's movie, and the total investment amount is 1 billion USD!
This is a joke. 1 billion USD investment, and the box office must be more than 3 billion USD to break even. Including the publicity fees, how much box office will it take to make money?
Of course, these people do not know that the 1 billion USD investment promised by Feng Yu is not for a movie. But the average investment for a movie is more than 200 million USD, and this amount is enough to scare off many production companies.
Now, investing 100 million USD for a movie is already a very high production cost. 100 million USD in exchange for 500 million USD box office, and the direct profit is less than 70 million USD. After deducting the publicity fees, taxes, etc., the profit may only be 50 million USD.
100 million USD investment will take 2 to 3 years to earn back 50%. The annual profit is not high at all.
Based on the current economic conditions, even if one buys a blue chip stock, the annual profit may be more than 50%. If a well-known financial broker manages the stock, the profit may be more than 100%.
To these people, Feng Yu's investment is a failure!
Many people were crying out. Feng Yu was no longer a mysterious person. He was always making stupid moves. Maybe in a few years, Feng Yu's position as the World's Richest Man will be replaced.
It could be Bill Gates, Warren Buffett, or any of the world's top 10 billionaires, but Kirilenko is not one of them.
Because Kirilenko's business is closely related to Feng Yu, Feng Yu's business will be affected, and Kirilenko's assets will also shrink. Many people even say that Kirilenko will drop out of the world's top 10 within two years.
Feng Yu didn't say much after hearing these comments. Those people's comments couldn't influence Feng Yu's thoughts at all. Perhaps some of them represented some large consortiums. But which large consortium would be willing to confront Feng Yu head-on?
Under normal circumstances, large consortiums would cooperate with each other to earn money from the middle class. At the same time, it ensured that the number of large consortiums would not continue to expand. In other words, they would continue to enjoy a transcendent status and be able to influence a region's economy to a certain extent.
If large consortiums were to confront each other head-on, it will be a lose-lose situation, and other consortiums will take advantage of them and take over their businesses. Some smaller consortiums might even replace them.
Those large consortiums' representatives had contacted Feng Yu more than once, wanting to invest in Feng Yu's company. If Wind and Rain Holdings can't do it, their subsidiaries, like Amazon, Google, etc. are also interested.
Of course, their biggest interest is eBay and Paypal. But these two companies have no intention of getting listed and have no intention of letting others invest in them.
When Feng Yu set up his company, he had already roped in a group of tycoons. For example, Kirilenko, the Li family, Fu family, etc. When they join forces, they are a force to be reckoned with.
Most importantly, Feng Yu has Hua Xia as his backing. Once Feng Yu runs out of funds, he can ask China for help. That's why none of those large consortiums are willing to confront Feng Yu head-on.
They can only use other methods to weaken Feng Yu's image.
When Feng Yu is no longer a genius and becomes mediocre, it will be the peak of Feng Yu's career. After that, there will be a period of stability, and this period will be short and long. Of course, there was another possibility, and that was that they would slowly decline from prosperity to decline.
But the second possibility is not easy to achieve. Although most of Feng Yu's investments are in the financial sector, his investments in IT, electronics, machinery manufacturing, food, retail, etc. are on the rise.
Even if Feng Yu does not do anything, he will still be one of the top tycoons in the world.
Those large consortiums want to add the word 'one of' to the title of the top tycoon and not let Feng Yu be the only one.
Once Feng Yu's assets exceed 100 billion USD, Feng Yu will become a legend, and Feng Yu's influence will increase.
That's why they are now looking for ways to attack Feng Yu's image and destroy Feng Yu's legend.
They can't find an excuse to attack Feng Yu's other industries because they are too successful. Not only are they expanding rapidly, but their profits are also booming.
They have used football to attack Feng Yu before, but it was drowned by Hua Xia's fans.
Although Feng Yu did not lead Hua Xia's football to a rapid rise, the current football is much better than before. Also, the transparency is higher, and the games are more interesting.
Even if there is still a gap between them and the world's top teams, or even Asia's top teams, they see hope. Moreover, Feng Yu has paid for many young players to study abroad. They don't expect geniuses like Owen and Ronaldo to appear, but they will be happy if some of the main players of other strong teams appear.
That's why these large consortiums look for the film and entertainment industry, which is suitable to attack Feng Yu, because they do not see any profits at the moment.
MGM's asset restructuring alone would not be able to reflect any value. Although MGM has quickly gotten rid of some of its burdens, it has not made a profit yet.
Its main income now is the distribution of high-definition movie discs, which will decrease sharply over time. When MGM still has no new movies to release, it will inevitably fall into an awkward situation of losses again and drag down Wind and Rain Holdings.
That's why they are criticizing Feng Yu's investments and all the cultural and entertainment industries under Wind and Rain Holdings.
However, these will not shake Feng Yu's determination to invest in these. Feng Yu will not regret it since he has already bought them. Moreover, Feng Yu firmly believes that these investments will bring him high returns in the future.
It may not be as profitable as financial investments for the time being, but appropriate industrial investments can make his company more risk-resistant. What's more, it was very interesting that the American superheroes were controlled by the Chinese.
No matter what others say, "Iron Man" has already started filming.
