Marvel Entertainment has been taken over by Fengyu Holdings Group. Although it is not wholly owned, Fengyu Holdings Group is the absolute controlling party. For this reason, Fengyu Holdings Group also paid a high amount of money, which made many people feel that Feng Yu had lost his mind this time. A comics group was not worth such a premium at all.
And it is said that in order to achieve excellent shooting effects, Feng Yu also specially acquired Lucasfilm. In fact, it was for its subsidiary Polishing Industry, the world's top film special effects company.
At the same time, Feng Yu's friend Kirilenko, Europe's richest man, also acquired the world's top Weta Digital, reportedly to cooperate with Feng Yu in creating special effects for movies.
The funniest thing is that Feng Yu actually invested in Cameron's movie. It is said that the total investment amount is as high as one billion US dollars!
This is simply a joke. With an investment of one billion US dollars, it would take more than three billion US dollars in box office to break even. Not to mention the publicity expenses, how much box office would it take to make money
Of course, they didn't know that the billion-dollar investment promised by Feng Yu was not a movie. However, even the average investment in a movie exceeds US$200 million. This number is enough to scare away many production companies.
A current movie investment of US$100 million is already an extremely high production cost. If one hundred million U.S. dollars is exchanged for a box office of 500 million U.S. dollars, the direct profit will be less than 70 million U.S. dollars. After taking into account publicity expenses, taxes, etc., the profit may only be 50 million U.S. dollars.
It takes two to three years to earn back 50% of a US$100 million investment. If you calculate the annual profit rate, the profit is not high at all.
Judging from the current economic conditions, even if you buy a random blue chip stock, the annual profit rate may exceed 50%. If you find some well-known financial brokers to handle it, the profit may exceed 100%.
In their view, Feng Yu's investment is a failure!
Many people are shouting that Feng Yu is no longer magical and has frequent fainting spells. Perhaps in a few years, Feng Yu's position as the world's richest man will be squeezed out.
Or Bill Gates will return to the throne, or the stock market god Buffett will ascend to the top, and other top ten richest people in the world are possible, but Kirilenko is not included.
Because Kirilenko's business is too involved with Feng Yu, and Feng Yu's career is damaged, Kirilenko's assets will definitely shrink. Many people even assert that Kirilenko will fall out of the stock market within two years. Top ten in the world.
Feng Yu, who heard these remarks, didn't say much. Those people's remarks could not influence Feng Yu's thoughts at all. Perhaps some of them represent some large financial groups. But which big consortium would be willing to confront Feng Yu head-on
Under normal circumstances, large financial groups cooperate with each other to make money from the middle class. At the same time, it is ensured that the number of large consortiums will not continue to expand, that is, allowing them to continue to enjoy a transcendent status, which can affect the economy of a region to a certain extent.
If there is a head-on confrontation between large consortiums, the biggest possibility is that both sides will lose, and then other consortiums will take advantage of them and take the opportunity to annex their businesses, and they may even be replaced by some small consortiums.
Representatives of those large consortiums contacted Feng Yu more than once, wanting to invest in Feng Yu's company. If Fengyu Holdings Group can't do it, its subsidiaries can, too, such as Amazon, Guge, etc. They are all very interested.
Of course, their biggest interest is Yibei and Beibao. Unfortunately, these two companies have no intention of going public, and they have no intention of letting people buy shares.
When Feng Yu was founded, he had already attracted a group of wealthy people. For example, Kirilenko, the Li family, the Fu family, etc., when they unite, they are already a force that cannot be underestimated.
The most important thing is that Feng Yu has the strong backing of China. Once Feng Yu runs out of funds, he can ask his motherland for help. Therefore, none of the big consortiums are willing to confront Feng Yu.
They can only use some other methods to weaken Feng Yu's image as a genius.
When Feng Yu stops being magical and becomes mediocre, it will be the peak of Feng Yu's career. Then, according to the laws of history, a stable period will be maintained. This period may be long or short. Of course, there is another possibility, which is to turn from prosperity to decline and slowly decline.
However, they think the second possibility is not easy to realize. Although Feng Yu's investments are mostly in finance, investments in IT, electronics, machinery manufacturing, food, retail, etc. are on the rise.
Even if Feng Yu does nothing, he will still be the top rich man in the world.
Those large consortiums hope to add one or two words after the top rich people, instead of letting Feng Yu be the only one.
Once Feng Yu's personal assets exceed 100 billion US dollars, then Feng Yu will become a historical myth, and Feng Yu's influence will increase greatly by then.
So they are now looking for any way to damage Feng Yu's image and destroy Feng Yu's myth.
They couldn't find any excuse to crack down on the other industries Feng Yu invested in because they were too successful. Not only is the expansion rate rapid, but profits are also booming.
They used football to attack Feng Yu before, but they were drowned out by the massive amount of saliva from Chinese fans.
Although Feng Yu failed to lead the rapid rise of Chinese football, football is much better now than before. And the transparency is higher, and the game becomes more beautiful to watch.
Even though there is still a little gap between the world's top teams and even the top teams in Asia, they see hope. What's more, Feng Yu has paid to send many young players to study abroad. They don't want talents like Irving and Ronaldinho to appear among them, but they will be very happy if they have some main players from other strong teams.
So these big consortiums are looking for it, and the film and entertainment industry is suitable for attacking Feng Yu, because there is no profit at present.
Just the asset restructuring of MGM does not reflect much value. Although MGM quickly got rid of some baggage, it has not yet made a profit.
The main income now is from the distribution of high-definition movie discs. This income will decrease sharply over time. By then, MGM still has no new movies to release, so it will inevitably fall into the embarrassing situation of losing money again and drag down Fengyu Holdings Group.
Therefore, they badmouthed Feng Yu’s investments and all the cultural and entertainment industries under Fengyu Holdings.
But these cannot shake Feng Yu's determination to invest in these. Having already bought it, Feng Yu will not regret it. What's more, Feng Yu firmly believes that these investments will bring him high returns in the future.
It may not be as profitable as financial investment for the time being, but appropriate industrial investment can make his company more risk-resistant. What's more, it's very interesting that American superheroes are controlled by Chinese people.
No matter what anyone says, "Iron Man" has already started filming.
