Chapter 863 Marvel's Dilemma

When Yan Piaoyun and Zhao Wanqing heard Kerry's words, they couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Xiao Yunhai shook his head helplessly and smiled bitterly.

Zhao Wanqing asked, "Husband, what are you going to do with Marvel Comics?"

Marvel Comics has complete animation production capabilities, and also has subsidiary industries such as toy companies and children's parks. Although its scale is far less than that of Disney, its strength can definitely rank in the forefront of the world.

In recent years, the main reason for the worsening of the situation is that its former boss, Renus, did not do well, not the problem of the company's employees.

Xiao Yunhai was originally only interested in the copyrights of those superheroes. After reading the company's detailed introduction, Xiao Yunhai immediately changed his mind and planned to take over the entire industry.

No matter in the past life or this life, if you ask which type of people make the best money, most people will choose children.

Usually, parents are reluctant to eat and wear, but once their children are involved, they are willing to spend more money.

And what has the greatest new gravitational pull on a child? It must be an animation.

In the previous life, when Xiao Yunhai became an adult, although he didn't watch many cartoons, he still watched the most famous animated movies like "Kung Fu Panda" and "The Lion King", and Xiao Yunhai could completely copy them.

As for "Battlestar", "Monster", "Variety Lion", "Slam Dunk", "Football Kid" and so on that he watched when he was a child, Xiao Yunhai will naturally not let it go.

A few days ago, Xiao Yunhai was still thinking about which company to find a Transformers animation for him, but now it is naturally going to be handed over to Marvel.

Xiao Yunhai said: "I will bring Marvel to life again. After our child is born,

Make countless cartoons for them and let them have a happy childhood. what do you think? "

Zhao Wanqing said happily: "Of course. They will be very proud of having you as a father."

Kerry praised: "It is such a blessing to be your child. However, Xiao, it is 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 will definitely not be able to manage it well. It is estimated that it will close in a few days. But if it is to cheer everyone up and keep them full of energy, then I will definitely be fine. "

Kerry said angrily: "Then you must be attacking with money again, isn't it?"

Xiao Yunhai laughed and said, "Besides this, is there anything more immediate than this?"

Kerry laughed and scolded: "What I hate most is a big capitalist like you. It's so annoying."

The crowd laughed.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Xiao Yunhai came to the headquarters of Marvel Comics.

This is a thirteen-story building, built in 1983, which is a bit old, so it looks a bit old.

When signing the contract this morning, Xiao Yunhai met the manager Raul and told him that he would come over to hold a meeting and ask him to gather everyone in the company.

Raul is a German, thirty-six years old this year, with thinning hair and glasses. He speaks succinctly and without a smile.

Xiao Yunhai's impression of him is very good. He feels that he has the serious and rigorous style of traditional Germans. Of course, this does not mean that Xiao Yunhai will believe him. After all, the new appointment will take time to prove.

Xiao Yunhai parked the car downstairs and saw a group of people standing in front of the building at a glance, headed by Raul.

"Boss, you are welcome to come to the company to inspect the work. Let me introduce to you, this is Decker, the head of the cartoon department."

"Good day, boss."

Xiao Yunhai shook hands with him and said, "Hello."

"This is Sean, Minister of Animation Production."

"This is Sidney, the manager of Marvel Toys."

"This is Randy, the manager of Marvel Children's."

......

Following Raul's introduction, Xiao Yunhai shook hands with everyone in a friendly way while using his super memory to remember everyone's names and appearances in his mind.

"Raul, have everyone arrived?"

Surrounded by the crowd, Xiao Yunhai asked.

Raul said: "Boss, our company has a total of 432 staff members. There are actually 398 people. Two of them are sick and ask for leave. The remaining 32 people are working in toy factories and children's playgrounds. It's too far away, so I can't come here."

A glimmer of admiration flashed in Xiao Yunhai's eyes, he had a good eye for people, and this German's work style was indeed very rigorous.

Xiao Yunhai thought for a while and said, "Everyone, let's go to the conference room first, Raul and I have something to discuss."

After everyone left, Raul led Xiao Yunhai to the boss's office.

"Damn it, this guy Renas really enjoys it so much." Xiao Yunhai walked into the office, and when he saw what it looked like inside, he couldn't help but cursed in his heart.

It turned out that the office area of ​​Reinas was at least more than 200 square meters, with high-grade cashmere cushions under the feet, from the door to the desk, beautiful chandeliers, gorgeous leather sofas, spotless walls, and all kinds of work and daily necessities. The office can simply be described as opulent.

Xiao Yunhai sat down on the boss chair and asked, "Raul, can you tell us about the current situation in general? I don't want to listen to good words, so you can directly say how many problems our company needs to solve as soon as possible."

Raul's eyes lit up when he heard Xiao Yunhai's words. He seemed to sense the difference between him and Renas, so he said, "Our company is on the verge of collapse."

From Raul's description, Xiao Yunhai found that Marvel's problem was more serious than he thought, and it was almost unsustainable.

Due to the lack of good ideas in recent years, the comics published and distributed by Marvel basically lose as much as they print, and almost no one can make money, and they have been in a state of making ends meet. Animation production is even more stagnant. There have been no new animation movies for two consecutive years. However, a few animations have been produced, but unfortunately the response is mediocre.

There are also 22 Marvel Children's Parks in the United States. Due to their disrepair and aging, the American security department forced them to close three months ago. If the safety is not up to standard and you want to reopen, there are no doors.

The only one that brings profits to Marvel is Marvel Toys. With the toys that are popular in Europe and the United States, such as Spider-Man, Superman, and cartoon cars, there will be tens of millions of dollars in revenue every month. Unfortunately, this money can only be used to pay employees' wages.

After listening to Raul's report, Xiao Yunhai said with a wry smile: "That is to say, the Marvel Comics company that I spent 20 billion dollars to acquire will not only not bring me any benefits, but will also be a huge burden on me. wrong?"

Raul quickly shook his head and said: "No, boss, Marvel is not dead, it is just sick, as long as there is good medicine, it will be able to recover."

Xiao Yunhai sneered: "The medicine you said is money."

Raul's face was obviously tense, he nodded, and said helplessly: "Yes."

Xiao Yunhai pinched his forehead with his hand and said, "I see. How are the employees' mentality now?"

Raul said with a wry smile: "It's very poor and unmotivated. So far, dozens of employees have resigned. Mr. Renas has not given everyone a single salary increase for three consecutive years, and even during the economic crisis, it has fallen. $500. If it weren't for the fact that the job was really hard to find, I'm afraid everyone would have left long ago."

"How much is your monthly salary?"

"I am $250,000 per year, other middle-level employees are around $150,000, and ordinary employees are between $40,000 and $60,000. Compared to your magic special effects company, it's far worse. This morning, When we heard that you became our boss, everyone was very excited and felt that you will definitely be able to take Marvel out of the woods."

Xiao Yunhai laughed and said, "Raul, I didn't expect you to wear a high hat. Okay, I see, let's go meet everyone."
