Chapter 454 Persuasion

When he arrived at William White's comic studio, Stan Lee was amazed. There are many rumors about the richest man in the outside world. Although most of them are ground-breaking, there are also some things that have gradually become a consensus.

For example, in this comic, the industry does not think that William White has so many inspirations. These ideas of his, presumably also bought at a high price.

After seeing the studio, those thoughts have been left behind by him. The reason is simple, this studio is too simple, and it doesn't match the exquisite building outside, but it is very similar to his studio in Marvel, only bigger.

"Boss, Mr. Stan Lee is here."

"Okay, thank you Suzuki, give us a cup of coffee, Stan, I still have fifteen minutes, you can take a look first, how about a cup of coffee?"

"Okay, no problem."

"It's a bit chaotic here, no one is allowed to enter, you can do whatever you want."

Stan Lee smiled wryly, this guy is not out of touch. As an expert, of course he could tell that William White was not just pretending, without years of accumulation, he couldn't draw at his level at all.

Sketching is something that practice makes perfect. If you don't have ten or eight years, you won't be able to play it at all.

"Are you a Transformer?"

"Yes, it will be used in movies in the future, but it will not be used now." Stan Lee was taken aback, making a movie? No wonder the style of painting is so detailed. From the looks of it, the gap here in Marvel isn't even a tiny bit. People's movies and comics are totally different things.

William White seldom draws ultra-realistic sketches, and this thing is too time-consuming. In Stan Lee's eyes, it is different, not to mention the painting style, this painting technique is unique.

"William, is there anything special about your painting method?"

"Yes, I have absorbed some oil painting techniques. I call it super-realistic, but it is a bit troublesome. Normally, I don't draw. This is for testing. Cough, use the scanner to save the artwork into the computer, and then let it This guy does all kinds of moves, and you know what, Stan, if it works, I can start a big Transformers movie."

"The current computer can do this?" Stan Lee was very surprised. If it is possible, it would be really wonderful.

William White shook his head and smiled wryly, "It's not enough now, it's just the same, come and see."

After finishing speaking, he took the little old man to fiddle with his computer.

"This 3D accelerator card is just the same. However, the development of computers is very fast. It doesn't take much time, and it can meet my requirements."

Looks like?

The thing that made Stan Lee astonishing as a heavenly man was evaluated as a good-looking thing by someone. Stan Lee was very speechless. He understood that without strong capital support, no one could compete with the Vikings.

Chatting with William White was very pleasant. All kinds of rumors from the outside world are simply nonsense. This guy's success is definitely not accidental.

But what the hell is DC vs. Marvel?

Recalling the recent DC comics, Stan Lee was surprised to find that DC is also playing with the concept of the ultimate universe. Most importantly, William White is talking about movies, not comics.

Tsk, this guy, it's no wonder he doesn't suppress Marvel. Now it seems that his place has long been regarded as a meal by others.

A little resentful and at the same time a little gratified, you have made the richest man miss you so much, you can imagine how big Marvel's potential will be.

William White's requirements for Marvel are very simple, do a good job in comics, make those IPs come alive, and don't try to give up any comic characters.

Stan Lee couldn't think of a reason for his refusal. The trouble with Marvel is that there are no people who are good at management, no long-term planning, and no money to squander.

If it is acquired, these current problems will no longer become problems. Without those blind investments, it is not difficult for Marvel to achieve profitability, and it is not the responsibility of comic studios for those TV series and movies to hit the street.

If the most stubborn little old man didn't object, the others would naturally have nothing to say. All they cared about was their interests. And William White's bid was 30% higher than that Wall Street bastard.

Since it was not acquired by a listed company, the transaction was simple and outrageous, almost like buying a car.

The auction house on Lanai Island was unveiled, and the invited guests were naturally rich or expensive. Thinking of the grand opening of the golf course, many people began to get excited.

The Celestial Dynasty doesn't need to invite this time. They have a heavy task of attracting foreign investment, so they naturally need to come over to promote it.

"Tsk, Suzuki, tell me about it. This time there is a charity auction with the theme of donating African food. The International Food Program is responsible for the operation of the funds. If it is convenient, it is best to donate an antique in your own name."

"Okay, boss, I see."

William White's idea is very simple, it's okay to swipe your face, and you can also attract investment. You must have a reason to attend. In a few decades, I believe it will not be necessary. That was the time period for local tyrants to buy the whole world, but now is not the time.

These commercial activities of Laomei are sometimes very hypocritical. It's not that you officials cannot participate. First, you need to be invited, and second, you must do something meaningful.

Well, it makes sense for you to say that I am pulling investment. You can only go back and talk slowly about this. If you say so directly, the organizer will be very embarrassed.

In fact, whether it is a member of the royal family of John Bull or a business representative of the foot basin, it is almost the same way. What William White is doing is a charity auction. You can't think of it as an informal meeting of the leaders. It's a completely different matter.

As time approaches, Lanai Island is getting more and more lively. If it weren't for the fact that two five-star hotels have been built, it would be really difficult to arrange so many people.

A deserted island with only a few pineapples turned out to be worth every penny, which drove a group of real estate developers crazy with envy. Unfortunately, they couldn't share it.

The wealthy class in the United States likes farming very much, and they don’t like to toss about in the country, because the relevant laws are relatively perfect, even if it is your private property, you will not be allowed to mess around.

Some places in South America don't matter, small islands in the Caribbean Sea are also very random, you can even install missile defense systems, as long as someone is willing to sell them.

It is a pity that there are many people who like farming, but very few of them are successful. They basically make a mess, and then leave a mess and run away.

Looking at Lanai Island, not to mention the two million dollars for a ball card, the so-called annual maintenance fee is also an amazing income. It's all right now, the richest man felt that it was too deserted, so he actually held another auction.

Nima, do you want the auction to be held so far away? No matter where you fly from, it will take nearly ten hours, and some places are even farther away.

The most bizarre thing is that there are no flights. It’s okay if you have a private jet. If not, you can only go to Hawaii first, and then take a yacht to Lanai.
