Any commercial acquisition will inevitably involve several fields such as capital, finance, and law. In large-scale acquisitions, banks are always indispensable.
Since Jing Gao decided to acquire a group of French small and medium-sized fashion brands to form a large-scale fashion group, mainly big brands such as LV, Dior, and Hermès, which they would not sell to him, and there was really no way around the bank, he immediately asked Zhang Lei to go
Contact the bank.
The first choice is France's largest bank: BNP Paribas. This bank is rated as the world's four largest banks by Standard & Poor's, ranks among the Fortune 500, and is a leader in the French banking industry.
Jiuge Company is not well-known, but it has strong financial strength. US$2 billion in real money is parked in the Hong Kong branch of UBS. It is well documented.
Gérard-Bayrou, president of the corporate and investment banking department of BNP Paribas, personally took charge of the deal.
Soon, the two parties reached an agreement and immediately began the acquisition.
The first step is to identify acquisition targets.
As a gathering place for Europe's top clothing brands, France also participates in leading the world's fashion trends. There are more than 100 large and small fashion brands across the country. Jing Gao called Ren Jiahui and invited her to come over as a consultant.
The brands selected immediately include: ROUJE, sessun, Saint James, BA&SH, ikks, Ameri Viite Mendigote, sezane, balzac, des petits hauts and more than a dozen small and medium-sized brands.
Some brands are very famous on the foreign social software Instagram. For example: balzac. Some have one or two stores in China. Others have set up factories in Monaco, Egypt and other places, pursuing "distinctiveness".
The second step is to contact the companies and shareholders of these brands and start negotiations.
At this time, the benefits of cooperating with BNP Paribas emerged. Their huge size and connections in France provided huge help. Otherwise, the people of Jiuge Company might not even be able to meet their shareholders.
The consulting fee of 30 million US dollars is well worth it.
The third step is to sign, pay and pocket it.
In a blink of an eye, it was ten days later. At 18:05 on July 10th, local French time, Jing Gao came back from the negotiations and hosted a banquet for Ren Jiahui and others at Casa Luca, a French restaurant near the Arc de Triomphe, as well as Zhu Zhongtian, Lin Zhongzhong and his entourage who were watching the game.
The entire restaurant has been reserved, making it easier for everyone to talk, communicate, and dine.
The decoration of the restaurant is slightly darker, chic and fashionable. French dishes are served one after another by the waiter.
Anyway, Western food is served in separate portions. Jinggao did not require the restaurant to set up a long oak dining table. It was like the way of dining in a castle in Western movies. Everyone just gathers a few tables casually, tells the waiter what they want to eat.
that is.
Hugo, a "ground pick-up", specializes in translation work. He also brought one of his friends over to work as a translator to earn some extra money.
His friend is also Chinese, second generation, his parents came to France from China to do business, and slowly settled down here. He is 18 years old, speaks Mandarin and can still make ends meet.
While everyone was dining and drinking, the two of them gathered in the corner and muttered, "Hugo, where did this big boss come from? Casa Luca restaurant, I passed by here when I was sixteen and didn't dare to come in."
"He's from China." Hugo patted his friend's shoulder. After a sip of wine, he saw someone raising his hand and walked over quickly. He was a third-generation Chinese, so there was nothing he could do. In recent years, he immigrated to France.
It's so miserable. I've completely missed out on a lot of money-making opportunities in the country.
Fatty Tong Cuntong was ordering food. He, Zhu Zhongtian, Lin Xuanzhong, and Xu Junzhe shared a table. He was complaining: "I'll go, what the hell is this soup? It's too unpalatable. Hugo, is there any rice?"
Fix it a little more, Lao Ganma."
Zhu Zhongtian and Xu Junzhe both laughed. Only when you go abroad do you know how good Lao Gan Ma is.
Lin Xiaozhong said contemptuously: "You guys really don't deserve dog meat. This bowl of snail soup costs 180 euros. Two more steaks and some red wine will be enough." These days, they are traveling around several cities in France.
Run and watch all the knockout rounds.
Hugo asked Fatty Tong for his opinion and placed the order as Lin Xiaozhong said.
Xu Junzhe took a glance and asked curiously: "Brother Zhong, what are Mr. Jing and Assistant Guan busy with these days? There are two more beauties around him, tsk tsk...!" He was very envious.
Zhu Zhongtian shook his head. Being young is good! His eyes are always focused on beautiful women. An older middle-aged man like him is focused on the "midlife crisis". The finals officially started at 21:00 tonight. After watching the game,
He flew back to the capital. He had to find an opportunity to talk to Mr. Jing about his business plan.
…
The two extra beauties Xu Junzhe mentioned are Ren Jiahui and Xi Siyan.
Jinggao only invited the two of them as a thank you for their help. After the meal, he watched the game in the evening and was ready to return home.
And Xi Siyan and the three boys in their circle are here tonight. The reason is that they are not worried about them coming to the banquet.
In fact, I am a bit curious. Why did Jing Gao set up a large fashion group quietly? According to Ren Jiahui, the funds used were no less than 1 billion euros. Since the three of them met a man with this level of funds, they would not
She says she wants to kneel down and lick her, but she really needs to get to know her.
There are only four seats at the table on Jing Gao's side. Ren Jiahui and Xi Siyan ate with Jing Gao. Xi Siyan dressed up specially, with light makeup, a long yellow oversize sweater paired with white leggings, bright and beautiful.
Just like a female star.
"Brother Jing, have you been busy with this thing these days? I heard from Sister Jiahui that you are really good." Xi Siyan took a fork and ate foie gras with an elegant demeanor. At first glance, he knew that he was in the West.
Influenced.
Jing Gao laughed and said, "Thank you for the compliment! Let's go." He raised his wine glass, and under the dim light, the beauty's face was very gorgeous.
At this time, Jing Gao looked at Xi Siyan seriously. She was about 24 or 25 years old, 1.66 meters tall and slender. Based on her family's situation, she should have studied abroad.
Both she and Chu Xuefei are the kind of "cold beauties". It's just that her coldness lies in rejecting people thousands of miles away. She doesn't have that feeling in her appearance. But Xiao Chu's appearance is cold and beautiful, giving people a cold and glamorous feeling.
, but the inside is as charming as a volcano.
Xi Siyan clinked glasses with Jing Gao, took a sip of red wine, and smiled at Jing Gao.
Ren Jiahui said with a smile: "Hey, Siyan, please calm down. Otherwise, if I sit down again, I will feel like I am an unnecessary light bulb."
Xi Siyan's pretty face immediately turned red, and she said coquettishly: "Sister Jiahui..., I don't have one."
Ren Jiahui giggled, her chest heaved, and she changed the subject and said, "Mr. Jing, how many brands have you negotiated in the past few days?" She was only involved in the preliminary work and did not know the follow-up progress.
Idaka said: "I have bought two so far: Saint James, BA&SH. There are three or four that are still being discussed. I will leave it to them and I won't care about it anymore."
His goal is to spend 2 billion euros to buy thirty or forty brands in France and Italy, as well as controlling stakes in a number of fashion magazines. At the same time, he will poach a large number of people and recruit graduates from design schools.
There is only one ultimate goal: he wants to have a certain fashion voice in Paris Fashion Week, Milan Fashion Week, and London Fashion Week. Why should China's fashion trends be controlled by the West?
They must now learn to appreciate and accept Eastern aesthetics!
Don't take a picture of Mulan with that ghostly makeup look. Do you understand what Chinese classical beauty is?
Of course, by the way, let’s see if we can develop one or several top luxury brands.
Xia Shang Textile Group pointed to these design teams to expand to the lower reaches of the industrial chain and launch several domestic clothing brands.
Ren Jiahui nodded and ate the fruit salad, "Then I'm looking forward to your results. Then apply for a 20% off card for me. I will buy my future clothes from your place. Oh, what's the name of your fashion group?"
To be honest, rich people may not always focus on luxury fashion. The only reason for their consumption is: they like it. It is definitely not to show off. In fact, these people often pursue deliberately low-key clothing.
So Jing Gao believes Ren Jiahui when he says to buy second-tier women's clothing brands. The clothes are of good quality and the styles are right, so he will definitely buy them.
Jing Gao said: "That's no problem. The name is: Zhaoshi."
