Yan Piaoyun and Zhao Wanqing could not help but burst out laughing when they heard Kree's words.
Xiao Yunhai shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly.
Zhao Wanqing asked, "Hubby, what are you going to do with Marvel Comics?"
Marvel Comics had a perfect animation production ability. It also had a toy company, a children's park, and other subsidiary industries. Although its scale was far inferior to Disney's, its strength was definitely ranked among the top in the world.
The reason why it had been deteriorating in recent years was mainly because its former boss, Reinus, had not done a good job. It was not a problem with the company's employees.
Xiao Yunhai was originally only interested in the copyrights of superheroes. After reading the company's detailed introduction, Xiao Yunhai immediately changed his mind and prepared to take over the entire industry.
Regardless of whether it was in his previous life or this life, most people would choose children if they were asked who was the easiest to earn money from.
Usually, parents could not bear to eat or wear anything. However, once it involved their children, they were willing to spend any amount of money.
And what was the greatest attraction for children? Then it must be an animated film.
In his previous life, although Xiao Yunhai did not watch many cartoons after he became an adult, he had watched the most famous animated movies like Kung Fu Panda and The Lion King. Xiao Yunhai could completely copy them.
As for the movies that he had watched when he was young, such as Battlestar, Monsters, Lion of All Forms, Slam Dunk, The Soccer Kid, and so on, Xiao Yunhai naturally would not let go of them.
A few days ago, Xiao Yunhai was still thinking about which company to make a Transformers cartoon for him. Now, he naturally had to hand it over to Marvel.
Xiao Yunhai said, "I will let Marvel regain its vitality. After our children are born, we will make countless cartoons for them and let them have a happy childhood. What do you think? "
Zhao Wanqing said happily, "Of course it's good. When the time comes, they will definitely be very proud to have you as a father. "
Kree praised, "It's a blessing to be your child. However, Xiao, it's not easy to make Marvel rise. What are you going to do? "
Xiao Yunhai said with a smile, "If you let me manage the company, then I'm sure I won't be able to manage it well. I reckon it will close down in a few days. But if it's to cheer everyone up and let them work energetically, then I'm definitely fine with it. "
Kree said angrily, "Then you must be using money to attack again, right?"
Xiao Yunhai laughed loudly and said, "Other than this, is there anything else that is even more obvious?"
Kree laughed and scolded, "I hate big capitalists like you the most. You're so annoying."
Everyone burst into laughter.
At two in the afternoon, Xiao Yunhai arrived at the headquarters of Marvel Comics.
It was a 13-story building that was built in 1983. It had been a long time, so it looked a little old.
When signing the contract this morning, Xiao Yunhai met the manager, Raúl, and told him that he would be coming over for a meeting. He asked him to gather everyone in the company.
Raúl was a 36-year-old German. He had thin hair and wore glasses. He spoke concisely and seriously.
Xiao Yunhai had a good impression of him. He felt that he had the serious and strict style of a traditional German. Of course, this did not mean that Xiao Yunhai would believe him. After all, a new person needed time to prove himself.
Xiao Yunhai parked the car downstairs and saw a group of people standing in front of the building. Raúl was the leader.
"Boss, welcome to the company for inspection. Let me introduce you. This is the head of the comics department, Decker. "
"Hello, Boss."
Xiao Yunhai shook hands with him and said, "Hello."
"This is the head of the animation department, Shawn."
"This is the manager of Marvel Toy Company, Sidney."
"This is the manager of Marvel Kids Land, Randi."
.....
Following Raúl's introduction, Xiao Yunhai shook hands with everyone in a friendly manner. He also used his superb memory to remember everyone's names and faces.
"Raúl, is everyone here?"
Xiao Yunhai asked, surrounded by everyone.
Raúl said, "Boss, our company has a total of 432 staff members. 398 people are here. Two of them are sick and on leave. The other 32 people are working in the toy factory and the children's park. They are too far away, so they can't come."
Xiao Yunhai's eyes flashed with a hint of admiration. He had a good eye for people. This German's work style was indeed very strict.
Xiao Yunhai thought for a moment and said, "Let's go to the conference room first. I have something to discuss with Raúl."
After everyone left, Raúl led Xiao Yunhai to the boss's office.
"F * ck, this guy Renus really knows how to enjoy life." Xiao Yunhai walked into the office and saw the inside. He couldn't help but curse in his heart.
It turned out that Renus's office area was at least 200 square meters. There was a high-grade cashmere mat under his feet. It spread from the door to the desk. There was a beautiful chandelier, gorgeous leather sofa, spotless walls, and all kinds of work and daily necessities. The whole office could be described as magnificent.
Xiao Yunhai sat on the boss's chair and asked, "Raúl, can you give me a general description of the current situation? I don't want to listen to nice words. Just tell me how many problems our company has that need to be solved as soon as possible. "
When Raúl heard Xiao Yunhai's words, his eyes lit up. He seemed to feel the difference between him and Renus, so he said, "Our company is on the verge of collapse."
From Raúl's description, Xiao Yunhai found that Marvel's problem was more serious than he had imagined. It couldn't be maintained.
Due to the lack of good ideas in recent years, the comics published by Marvel were basically losing money no matter how much they printed. There were almost none that could make money. They had been in a state of not being able to make ends meet. Animation production had also fallen into a state of stagnation. There had been no new animated movies for two years in a row. A few cartoons were produced, but unfortunately, the response was average.
There were also twenty-two Marvel Kids Land stores in the United States. Due to years of disrepair and aging, the American Security Department had forcibly closed them three months ago. If the safety standards were not met, there was no way to reopen them.
The only company that brought Marvel profits was the Marvel Toy Company. With Spiderman, Superman, Ford, and other toys popular in Europe and the United States, they had tens of millions of dollars in income every month. Unfortunately, this money was only enough to pay the employees.
After listening to Raúl's report, Xiao Yunhai said with a wry smile, "That is to say, the Marvel Comics that I spent 20 billion dollars on will not only not bring me any benefits, but will also become a huge burden for me, right?"
Raúl quickly shook his head and said, "No, Boss. Marvel is not dead. It's just sick. As long as there is good medicine, it will be able to recover."
Xiao Yunhai sneered, "The good medicine you're talking about is money, right?"
Raúl's face obviously tightened. He nodded and said helplessly, "Yes."
Xiao Yunhai pinched his forehead and said, "I understand. What's the mentality of the employees now? "
Raúl smiled bitterly, "Very bad. They have no enthusiasm. So far, dozens of employees have resigned. Mr. Reinus hasn't raised their salaries for three years in a row. Even during the economic crisis, it was reduced by 500 dollars. If it weren't for the fact that it's really hard to find a job, I'm afraid everyone would have left long ago. "
"How much is everyone's monthly salary?"
"Mine is 250,000 dollars a year. The other middle-level employees are around 150,000 dollars. The ordinary employees are between 40,000 and 60,000 dollars. Compared to your Magic Visual Effects, it's a far cry. This morning, everyone was very excited when they learned that you've become our boss. They feel that you will definitely be able to lead Marvel out of this predicament. "
Xiao Yunhai chuckled and said, "Raúl, I didn't expect you to be so good at flattering people. Alright, I got it. Let's go meet everyone. "
