The headquarters building of LVMH Group is located in the famous La Défense business district in Paris. It is located in the west of Paris. It was built in the 1980s and is lined with skyscrapers. It is the most famous business district in Europe.
It is as famous as the City of London, Wall Street in Manhattan, and Lujiazui in Shanghai.
In the late night of Sunday, June 3, many of the many skyscrapers were still brightly lit, but there were few pedestrians and there was no hustle and bustle during the day.
As the CEO of LVMH Group, Bernard-Arnault has his own floor office in the headquarters building. At this time, a steady stream of business elites in suits and ties came to the 37th floor late at night with tired expressions.
Arnault had the information given by Pinault. First, the group's executives met to determine the short-selling strategy in response to Jinggao. Then, a dozen financial elites in suits and ties gathered in a conference room to work. Everyone's mobile phone number was
It was taken away and contact with the outside world was closed. Everyone was staring at the computer and constantly refreshing it.
A tense atmosphere was permeating the conference room that was used as a temporary office area.
In everyone's trading account, funds are deposited from time to time. The smallest amount is 5 million euros. This is the work of the finance and accounting side. They don't need to worry about it, everyone is waiting for the war to open after dawn.
The horn of war has sounded.
Bernard-Arnault was too old to stay up late. Late at night, close to the early morning, from his huge, luxurious office, the streets of Paris seemed quiet and lonely at night. He put down the wine glass in his hand.
"Master, it's time to rest." His old housekeeper came from home with two maids to take care of him.
"Yes." Bernard-Arnault made a phone call, handed the work to his assistant Alden Gallup, and fell asleep deeply in the rest room behind his office.
Time keeps passing by.

frankfurt, Germany.
Guo Lingyu stayed in a hotel arranged by Deutsche Bank. She stayed up all night and had no assistant with her, only an accompanying bodyguard. At this time, the mobile phone in her hand was receiving data from China.
Exactly the bad material about LVMH that Deutsche Bank requested.
After reading the content in the picture, Guo Lingyu was overjoyed.
On March 7, 2011, LVMH, the world's largest luxury goods group at the time, spent 3.7 billion euros to acquire Italian high-end watch and jeweler Bvlgari.
The acquisition method is: LVMH will issue an additional 16.5 million shares, equivalent to a value of approximately 1.9 billion euros, in exchange for 152.5 million shares held by the Bulgari family, accounting for 50.4% of the total share capital.
In addition, LVMH Group will also acquire the remaining shares of Bulgari at a price of 12.25 euros per share. This will achieve complete control of Bulgari, place it under the LVMH Group, and put it on a dazzling array of shelves.
In this transaction, LVMH Group hired Deloitte accounting firm to conduct an audit. According to insider information, LVMH Group used this merger and acquisition to wipe out approximately 3 billion euros of debt.
In other words, the LVMH Group is making false accounts.
No one will care about the merger and acquisition case seven years ago, and Bulgari has long been a brand of the LVMH Group, so there is no defection. However, the news that the LVMH Group has made false accounts is exposed, which is a financial disaster and will shake its stock price.
Guo Lingyu has worked at Goldman Sachs for many years and has long been familiar with investment banking, the stock market, and short-selling methods.
Looking at the time, it was already seven o'clock. She took her mobile phone and called Chester Flynn, the co-president of Deutsche Bank's investment banking department, and the call was transferred to him through his assistant.
Chester Flynn is having breakfast. He is a Jew. He is fifty-six years old. It has been almost ten years since he switched from Lehman Brothers on Wall Street to Deutsche Bank. He has climbed step by step to his current position and established the foundation for Deutsche Bank's investment department.
Great military exploits.
And to this day, he still maintains his "bloodthirsty" and "cruel" investment style and is feared by the industry!
Deutsche Bank is not only a big player in European stock markets, but also a big player in U.S. stocks. It has a close relationship with Goldman Sachs, the bull commander of U.S. stocks.
"Lily, I'm having breakfast, what's going on?" Chester Flynn's language style was very concise, without any politeness or greetings. When you have something to say, time is money.
Of course, this style of scolding can be quite explosive.
Guo Lingyu said: "Mr. Flynn, I have obtained valid negative information about LVMH Group. Shall I give it to you now?"
"Ah?" Chester Flynn was a little surprised. He put down the knife and fork in his hand and turned his mobile phone on speakerphone, "Okay. Send it over immediately. Lily, you have the funds ready. Just make sure
The bad information is available, immediately transfer the funds to your account at Deutsche Bank, and we will start work today!"
He has such a vigorous and resolute character. The money he can earn today will never be left until tomorrow.
"good."
Guo Lingyu put away her mobile phone, took a shower, changed clothes, and went out with her bodyguard to Deutsche Bank's headquarters building.

London, somewhere in the city.
The morning sun was shining, and the curtains were drawn in the sealed room, so no one was aware of the change of time.
In this apartment room, the computer's hard drive and fan are running at high speed.
Wei Chenjun's most trusted assistant, Yu Jie, had already arrived in London with a small team of five people, and had opened a trading account on Euronext with the help of the Bank of East Asia branch in London.
At the same time, a large amount of funds have been allocated.
Yu Jie is twenty-nine years old this year. She has a petite figure and fashionable clothes. She wears an elegant and close-fitting hip-covering dress that outlines her graceful curves.
Her English name is "Feiji" and she is not married yet. She has followed Wei Chenjun in Jinggao's Taichu-Phoenix system and has been promoted step by step, and she can be regarded as a confidant.
She silently looked at the Paris stock market that had opened, folded her arms, and sat in front of the computer, waiting for the arrival of the "starting gun."

After the bidding stage in early trading, LVMH Group's share price fluctuated around 278.25 euros.
After a night of intense preparations, the tense atmosphere eased slightly in the conference room on the 37th floor of the LVMH Group headquarters building in La Défense business district in Paris.
A senior employee reported to Alden Gallup, who was solely responsible for the short-selling operation: "Boss, there is currently no obvious fluctuation in our group's stock price, and there is no sudden release of bad news in the market."
Alden Gallup is a tall man, over 1.9 meters tall. He stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and drank coffee: "Hold on!"
"Okay, boss."
Alden Gallup kept watching the stock market until the morning's closing. After thinking about it, he went to the CEO's office to report to Bernard Arnault.
"Boom, boom."
Alden-Gallup knocked on the door.
The person who opened the door was Bernard Arnault's old butler. He was wearing a meticulous tuxedo and said: "The master has just gotten up. Alden, if you have anything to do, please report back in five minutes."
"No need. Let him in!" Arnault, who was taking care of himself in front of the mirror, heard the noise and asked the old butler to bring his confidant in.
Alden-Gallup reports: "Mr. Arnault, the stock market is normal for the time being. There are no fluctuations."
Bernard-Arnault frowned slightly and said, "Keep paying attention."
Sometimes, there is no movement, but it is the most dangerous!
