Davos in the snow is very quiet and makes people feel that it is still like a recuperation place rather than a ski resort.

But the hotel where Feng Yiping stayed was always very lively. There were many guests here with Schmidt, and many people who knew each other but didn't know each other.

Of course, most of them are courteous visits, and no one has to force a meeting.

After speeding up some work, he made some preparations for tomorrow's meeting again. Looking at the snowflakes that were scattering outside the window, Feng Yiping couldn't help but yawn twice.

He has long been used to the jet lag, but the environment here really makes him drowsy.

He shook his head, wiped his face with cold water, and opened the door and took a look, "Is it okay?"

"Oh, nothing happened," Zheng Jiayi and a few people sat on the sofa and discussed it enthusiastically.

Feng Yiping’s arrangements in Davos were all left to her team for the responsibility. They decided by whom they met, whom they accepted, and whom they did not accept.

"What's so interesting," he was a little curious.

"You really can use this," Zheng Jiayi smiled and handed him a big, beautifully bound book, looking like a picture album.

"Can I use it?" Feng Yiping took it and saw that the book was also a product brochure, but the products it advertised were not ordinary, they were all islands and private islands.

He did have this idea when buying an island to be the owner, but he has never had time to put it into practice.

At this time, in this mountainous area with snowflakes, looking at the islands bathed in the bright sunshine, covered with green vegetation, and white sand beaches on the booklet, it seems that you can smell the sea breeze by closing your eyes and hear the sound of the waves... Not to mention, it really makes people feel more urge to buy.

"Among those who left the information, there are three people who sold the island alone," said Zheng Jiayi. "One of them seems to be the king of the island,"

"How is it, are you interested?" she asked.

Others who were also looking at the brochures also read it. There should be a cheap island, but the information sent here today is obviously carefully crafted. There is no most prosperous, only more prosperous, and the lowest one is 8 digits, which is not something they can bear.

"It's really good," Feng Yiping looked through a few pages briefly. Some islands looked really attractive.

"I'll help you see. You're afraid of the cold. Don't think about the islands around Britain, Ireland, and Nordics. Europe is best around Italy and Greece," Zheng Jiayi helped analyze it seriously.

Her analysis was correct. In Feng Yiping's opinion, it is best to associate the island with the sun and sand beach. If it is an island that will still snow in winter, what should I buy it?

"There is no need to consider the eastern Canadian. The West Coast of the United States seems to be OK, right, the Caribbean Sea must be good. Central and South America, considering the local security, let's just forget it."

"Hey, there are also Australia and New Zealand, which is not bad. It's close to China, so it's very convenient to buy one."

"Wait, islands along the Indian Ocean, okay, let's not talk about this for now." It still takes some courage to buy islands there when the Indian Ocean has just had a tsunami.

"Why just buy one in Europe, North America, and Asia," said Feng Yiping.

"Okay, okay," Zheng Jiayi nodded wildly, "In the future, our employees around the world can travel to the company's island nearby, how great it is,"

"Do you know, I have had a wish since I was a child, hoping to be held on an island in the future..." She suddenly stopped the car.

Feng Yiping could guess what she was going to say, but he didn't know when to hold an island wedding, which became the dream of many girls.

It must be said that this is indeed more realistic than looking forward to a hero stepping on colorful auspicious clouds.

"You can still look forward to it," Feng Yiping closed the brochure and said with a smile.

The last thing he saw was an island located in the Caribbean Sea. In this catalog, it is not the largest area, only 81 square kilometers, it is not small, but due to its superior location and complete facilities, the price is as high as 60 million US dollars. It is the most expensive one among the islands provided by this company.

"Now start paying attention to the right people. At that time, brother will definitely let you realize your dream," Feng Yiping patted Zheng Jiayi on the shoulders of a little dazed and embarrassed, and greeted Cummins who came in, "Hi,"

Pay attention to the right person? Zheng Jiayi's eyes followed Feng Yiping's figure. When he and Cummins entered the study, she realized that brother, he actually called himself brother, are you younger than me?

But why does the title of brother seem to be good?

…………

"Did Zuckerberg and the others have a conclusion? Oh, sorry," Feng Yiping just asked a question and couldn't help but yawn again.

"You don't sleep for two hours, and we'll talk about it until dinner," Cummins said, looking at him.

"No, it's just this environment that makes people want to sleep too much," Feng Yiping said, covering his mouth and yawned.

He looked at his watch and said that the others would not be seen. The person who would come in forty minutes would definitely be seen.

"I'll ask them to give you a cup of coffee, oh, strong tea," Cummins and the others knew about Feng Yiping's habits now. He opened the door and ordered outside.

"Thank you, what's the problem now?"

"Zach and the others are still discussing, and it will probably take several days before they can draw a conclusion," Cummins first answered Feng Yiping's previous question.

"I think it's good, so that the three of them can take the opportunity to get some running-in," said Feng Yiping.

Especially Zuckerberg and Sandberg, Feng Yiping wanted to let AEB let go and hand over them to them.

"No wonder you asked this question at this time. I think they are running in very quickly now," Cummins said.

"It's just Feng, what I'm going to tell you is another problem,"

The door was knocked lightly twice, "I'm sorry," Zheng Jiayi walked in with a cup of green tea.

"Thank you," Feng Yiping said habitually, and then asked Cummins, "What question do you want to say?"

Zheng Jiayi glanced at him and found that he shouldn't notice him at all.

She always felt that Feng Yiping was sometimes very close to her, as if he could know everything he thought, but sometimes he was very far away from him, even if he was in front of him, he could not see him.

She sat on the sofa separated from Feng Yiping and a wall, and couldn't help but think of Gu Cheng's poem: You look at me and at the clouds. I think you look at me very far away when you look at me, and you look at the clouds very close when you look at me.

Wait, when did I become so sentimental?

…………

"Feng, you have to look at this report," Cummins took out a bound report from the folder.

“About what?”

"After analyzing the relevant situation, we feel that acquiring Marvel is not a good choice,"

"Oh," Feng Yiping didn't expect that he could not acquire Marvel.

"I won't read it anymore, tell me your main reasons,"

"Okay, we all know that the most attractive thing about Marvel is that it creates so many superheroes."

"Yes, this is also one of the reasons why I value Marvel," Feng Yiping nodded.

Marvel has created so many heroes for so many years. Later, she found a few to form the Avengers, and ended up sweeping the box office of billions of dollars.

"But according to the data in recent years, superhero-themed movies themselves are highly risky. In 2000, the production cost of Fox's Men was $7,500, the box office in North America was only 150 million, and the global box office was only 290 million," said Dr.

"The movie "Darry Devil" produced by Fox in 2003 cost $78 million, and the global box office was only $180 million,"

"Last year, "The Punisher" produced by Lionsgate Pictures, had a worse result, with a cost of $33 million, and finally only a mere $58 million box office record,"

"The earlier Blade Warrior cost 45 million, and the box office was only 130 million...,"

Cummins, one by one, one movie, one movie review of the performance of Marvel superhero movies.

Although it seems that the final box office exceeds the production cost and seems to be profitable, the account is not calculated in this way.

By Hollywood standards, the promotional cost of a movie is about 50% of the production cost.

For theaters, that is, screeners, generally, they will withdraw 30% of the box office in North America. Of the remaining 70%, the publisher will withdraw 30%, which means that the revenue that ends up falling into the hands of the film company is less than half of the box office revenue.

And this half also contains the share of those big-name stars...

So generally speaking, if you want to make money in Hollywood movies, the box office must be at least three times the production cost.

The examples of Cummins seem to be just the MEN's income is still acceptable, while others are either small or big. It seems that Marvel has the meaning of box office poison in the 1980s.

"Where is Spider-Man?" Feng Yiping remembered that Spider-Man seemed to be quite popular.

"Oh, Spider-Man in 2002 had a cost of 139 million yuan, a box office of 400 million yuan in North America, and a cumulative global total of more than 800 million yuan, but this is still a low-probability event," Cummins said.

"When did I do something with a low probability?" Feng Yiping smiled.

Although there was a pride that Cummins could feel in his words, "But Feng, we have never made a movie, have we?"

He still lacks confidence. As the audience's requirements for special effects are getting higher and higher, the production cost is getting higher and higher. If a few movies are made a year, nearly 1 billion US dollars can be easily thrown in. If only one movie makes money, it would be a big trouble.

"Can't the income from the variety shows I've produced in China give you confidence? I already have independent TV series and will be released soon. I believe that the reaction will give you confidence again,"

Feng Yiping doesn't know much about movies, but if you want to know which movies make money, it's simple. If you want Spider-Man and the Men, you will definitely be a money tree. Although Hollywood is a dream of making movies, it doesn't care about emotions at all. How can they make sequels when they don't make money?

Just Spider-Man, Men, Avengers, Iron Man, Captain America, etc., the global box office combined is over 10 billion, which is too easy.

"Okay," Cummins replied reluctantly, "The next reason is the second reason."

"Don't talk about your second reason," Feng Yiping was quite authoritarian in his determination. "What do you think is the main reason why Disney succeeds?" he asked.

"You said that it is mainly the protagonists of Disney cartoons, and they don't need to pay or share the money, and the sales around the area are still high," Cummins said.

"Yes, this is also a reason, but what if you look at it from the most fundamental reason?"

"The most fundamental...,"

Feng Yiping didn't expect him to answer immediately, "That's because Disney has successfully opened up the girls market," Feng Yiping put forward another point of view.

"Then Marvel...,"

"American boys like at least half of the superheroes in the Marvel series," Cummins finally understood Feng Yiping's other plan.

"Yes, so from this perspective, would it be a bad choice if we could acquire Marvel?"

"You're right," Cummins put the report together.

Not to mention how many boys will watch movies of these heroes they like, even in terms of peripheral sales, boys' purchasing power cannot be underestimated.

"You don't have to think about whether my decision is reasonable. We will determine Marvel. Next, your main job is to concentrate on how to achieve this goal," said Feng Yiping. "Especially in terms of acquisition prices, I need detailed data to support it."

"I understand, I'll arrange it right away."
