Chapter 216 Hasbro Corporation
Ten torture clips flashed through my mind, and I walked upstairs while drinking yogurt.
The three bodyguards on the sofa crossed their legs like an old man. Thomas and Jeremiah stood straight in front of them, telling the story, motionless, fearing that they would misunderstand.
When Thomas saw Han Xuan coming, he was overjoyed and shouted: "Boss! We know each other, right?"
"Then I'm going to be happy." Han Xuan joked casually.
Gabriel and the others knew the little fun was over, stood up and said, "Let's go to the store to help."
When they left, Han Xuanheng lay down, "How is Hasbro's investigation?"
"I went to the tax bureau to ask a middle-level official, who told me that Hasbro paid more than 30 million in taxes last year. According to the statements released to shareholders, it has acquired many toy companies in recent years.
In 1968, Hasbro was listed on the US stock exchange, and later its sales declined temporarily withdrew. It can only be estimated that its current assets are around $600 million, and it still has at least $100 million in cash reserves. It can also lend to banks, so there is no problem with funds.
More than 70% of the shares are in the hands of the Hassenfield family. The chairman of Textron Group once wanted to buy a portion of Hassberg shares and gave them to his grandson as a gift, but the Hassenfield family was directly rejected."
Han Xuan rubbed his eyebrows. Thomas's words were very clear, and it was not easy to attack Hasbro.
Marvel Comics does not have its own peripheral channels, and only 30% to 40% of the profits in the film industry come from the box office of the movie, and the rest are the revenue generated by the sale of movie derivatives and copyrights.
In the United States, the revenue of peripheral products is as high as 70% of the total movie revenue, which is far more than twice the box office of the movie. For example, the three films "Star Wars" filmed by Lucas had a box office of US$1.8 billion, while the revenue of peripheral products derived from the movie is as high as more than US$4 billion.
This is how it can be done in a movie called Star Wars. If you count Marvel's heroes, there are too many series that can be shot.
There is no channel for his own "Harry Potter" series. History has proved that its surrounding products are simply astronomical. It is not Han Xuan's style to let it go for nothing and give most of the profits to others.
As the second largest toy company in the United States, Hasbro has complete channels from manufacturing to sale and has a very high reputation for its establishment for decades.
Nowadays, many elderly people grew up playing with Hasbro’s toys and had a fixed purchase group, which is something that new companies cannot have.
Moreover, it also has the copyright of "Transformers". The future income alone can exceed the current market value of Hasbro, but they don't know that the information on both sides is not equal and the operation space is particularly large.
Textron Group plays an important role in Rhode Island, mainly producing aircraft, motor vehicle engines, industrial products and military equipment. It has a strong influence in the state. Hasbro can reject them, but it may not necessarily reject itself.
The dc comic was in a slump after being acquired by Time Warner. The information states that Batman sold only more than 30 million in the past few years, which did not meet Hasbro's expectations at all. With just a little temptation, it would be enough to change the Hassenfield family and invest from dc comics to Marvel's camp.
Thinking of this, Han Xuan asked, "What time is it?"
“Eleventh twenty.”
"Help me have lunch with Hasbro President in the name of Marvel Comics."
Han Xuan looked at the list of shareholders on the document, "Allen Hassenfield...
Send this list to lawyer Perez and ask him to contact all the small shareholders at a maximum premium of 40%, and strive to acquire shares from them. The payment time will be delayed for two months.
Do you know any high-end restaurants nearby?”
Thomas was so shocked that he not only didn't know who Perez was, but he was not familiar with Providence.
After considering it the day before yesterday, I was surprised to find that this boy is more promising than the sos group with a lot of talents. Heirs of 10 billion US dollars, but he still won’t be successful after getting familiar with him?
These two days have been busy getting what he told me, so I have no time to pay attention to anything else.
Han Xuan glanced at Thomas, and immediately realized that he reported Perez's number and smiled and said, "I've arranged the restaurant. Is Mr. Hassenfield's phone number?"
"Yes, in my bag." Jeremiah replied.
Thomas was stunned. He knew this too. He secretly scolded him for being stupid and wanted to slap himself in the face.
Outside Providence, in Hasbro Factory.
A man in his forties is working on documents in the office.
Affected by comic sales in recent years, Hasbro's performance has also declined. When the board of directors was held, shareholders believed that it was all the sequelae left by the massive acquisition, which dragged down Hasbro's parent company.
Since his brother passed away the previous year and Alan Hassenfield took over Hasbro and became CEO, this voice has never stopped. If most of the shares were not concentrated in the hands of the family, life would have been even more difficult.
The idea of relisting has been in his mind recently. The sharp rise in the stock market may lead to Hasbro appreciation, but the company's performance is a big problem at present. Stock investors are not fools, but IT stocks are the hottest.
The female secretary knocked in and covered the phone with her palm and said: "A boy said he was his Marvel CEO assistant and wanted to invite you to the Hilton Hotel for lunch. Some things you will be interested in, about the copyright around the anime."
"Children? It should be a mess... Forget it, I'll call and ask, you'll say I'm not here first."
Hasenfield subconsciously wanted to refuse, but felt that it seemed like a good excuse to contact the new boss of Marvel Comics. He found Guo Muzhou's business card, dialed it and said, "Hello, Mr. Quark, is there a boy who said it was your assistant?
He asked me to talk about Marvel, and I want to contact you."
"Boy? Ah~ If you call Han Xuan, that's right. You can talk to him first. I'll go to Providence in the afternoon and I'm already in the car. I'll contact you later."
"...Okay, I will wait for you to come." Hasenfield thought he was training his descendants and handing them over to the family's children some company affairs to deal with. He also experienced it when he was a child.
Lying back on the chair, folding your hands around your waist, and closing your eyes.
I didn’t have any idea about Marvel Comics before, but the lean camel is bigger than a horse. At that time, Marvel’s market value was close to $200 million, and Hasbro was ready to take action, which wasted time on loans from the bank.
The Chinese man just called me and started the operation was too accurate. Before Hasbro could react, he had already swept the circulating stocks on the market. Then Marvel's price surged and then fell sharply, thinking that it would be fine to take over when selling at a high price.
A series of operations are clearly completely used by Wall Street. Now that Marvel Comics has delisted and changed hands, it is too late to regret it.
Hassenfield didn't understand why the other party came to the door, so he said to the secretary: "Give the boy a call, the time is set at twelve o'clock, I'll go now..." (To be continued.)
