The evening banquet was arranged on the first floor of the villa. When Jing Gao, Ouyang Wan, and Chen Qingshuang went downstairs together, the hall was almost decorated.
Dong Youwei had a young married woman who was engaged in auditing under his subordinates. He took the lead in asking a few male employees to help and arranged a circle of balloons in the living room. It looked very much like that. He was beaming!
Lvmh Group's stock price fell to the limit for two consecutive days. Everyone knows that the war is coming to an end and they can return to their hometown!
This villa in Jinggao is very big. Take out the oak dining table in the dining room and put several tables together to form a large rectangular dining table.
The dining table has long been covered with napkins, tableware, and various delicacies. It doesn’t matter whether it’s Chinese food or Western food. The chefs look at the ingredients and make whatever dish they are good at.
Includes: hand-caught mutton, lamb, grilled lamb chops, pepper stewed chicken, foie gras cream of mushroom soup, fried pork chops, smoked salmon, pan-fried and grilled prawns, sweet and sour carp, fried pork liver with sauce, braised pork, preserved egg mix
Tofu…
Wine is basically red wine.
The main reason is that Jing Gao owns more than a dozen top-notch red wines in Bordeaux. Dong Lingxi helped Jing Gao manage these. Dong Lingxi worked as a wine merchant in the capital in the early years and was very familiar with various red wines.
Therefore, the wine cellar of his villa stores a lot of fine red wine.
“Everyone, sit down, let’s have dinner!” Jing Gao walked to the main seat, smiled, made a downward gesture, and sat down.
He did not give any pre-dinner speech, nor did he ask everyone at the wine table to toast. Everyone was a team, enjoying the dinner relaxedly and comfortably. In the past ten days of getting along, the boundaries between superiors and subordinates were not so clear.
The bodyguard team takes turns eating in the restaurant next to the lobby on the first floor.
Everyone ate lively until around eight o'clock in the evening. At the end of the meal, a bodyguard reported a few words to Jun Zi on the intercom. Jun Zi walked to the end of the dining table and reported to Jing Gao in a low voice: "Mr. Jing, Bernard.
-Arnault is here. His car is outside the villa."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone at the table fell into silence.
Bernard Arnault, as the chief culprit, came to seek peace, which was expected. But when Arnault actually came, everyone had unspeakable emotions.
First, after working hard for so long, it is finally over and everyone can have a good sleep.
Second, we are witnessing history.
Third, Mr. Jing is awesome!
Jing Gao put down the knife and fork in his hand and ordered: "Ask him to come in." He wiped his mouth with a napkin and prepared to negotiate, and then said: "Xiaowan, Xixi, Qingshuang, you will join me later."
“Okay, Brother Jing.” The three beauties responded with sweet voices, just like a beautiful scenery around the dining table.
Dong Lingxi looked at Jing Gao expectantly with her beautiful almond eyes. She suffered a lot during her time in France, and all of this suffering was brought about by Bernard Arnault. Since the richest man in Europe, the fashion industry
The emperor was coming to surrender, how could she not be there?
Jing Gao couldn't help but feel funny when he saw the look in Dong Lingxi's eyes. He also knew how she felt, so he said, "Lingxi, you should also come and listen."
Dong Lingxi suddenly smiled, her beauty was gratuitous, and said happily: "Okay, Mr. Jing."
Dong Youwei, Teacher Zheng and others all pretended not to have seen it. Don’t think too much about the boss’s private affairs.
Junzi went outside to pick someone up. When Bernard Arnault walked in, Denton Glaser couldn't help clenching his fists under the dining table. He ran to Jinggao's villa today to "talk about cooperation", but in fact
It shows his flattering and approachable attitude, but the most important thing is that he wants to witness "history"!
It's now.
Bernard-Arnault was wearing a suit, with a slightly stooped back and short gray hair. He was supported by his butler, Old John, and followed behind him was his personal doctor, Harold, who was carrying a medical kit.
It has a bit of the style of the old godfather in The Godfather 3.
However
A dozen Chinese people in the restaurant glanced at each other, and Bernard-Arnault felt a stinging and aggrieved feeling in his heart. But, could he turn around and leave?
At this point, he had to bow his head.
Ouyang Wan wore hollow crystal high heels and a slim-fitting black midi skirt, making her look even more graceful, graceful and charming. She stood in the middle of the hall on the first floor and said in French: "Mr. Arnault, come this way.
Let’s go.” He took Arnault and the other two people to sit down in the living room on the first floor.
Looking at the staggering back of the richest man in Europe and the fashionable emperor, Dong Youwei couldn't help but slap the table and said: "How damn happy!" He picked up the red wine glass and drank most of the red wine in one gulp.
When he first came to Paris, he followed Mr. Jing around and hit a wall. How could he forget that humiliation and discomfort?
Teacher Zheng couldn't help but smile, and he also picked up the wine glass in his hand and took a sip. When he first came to Paris, reporters and media friends mostly avoided him. Today, when he went out to record a program, he received completely opposite treatment. A
Everyone asked him to speak. Although there are still attacks against the motherland, how would he be afraid of this after working in France for nearly 20 years?
Several young people in their twenties and sixties raised their glasses and shouted: "Cheers!"
“Cheers to victory!”
The atmosphere in the hall became warm and cheerful! Everyone raised their glasses. This is indeed worthy of celebration, isn't it?
The living room on the first floor is elegantly furnished, with several white single sofas arranged one after another. The sofas are equipped with mahogany tables and tables.
Bernard-Arnault walked into the living room with the support of old John, and saw Jing Gao sitting on the sofa in the middle of the top. Next to him stood three oriental beauties with their own styles: either bright, or
Quiet, or charming.
Among them was Fo Dong Lingxi, the president of Zhaoshi Group. At that time, someone among the conspirators proposed to get rid of Dong Lingxi so that Jing Gao would lose control of Zhaoshi Group. He had seen photos of Dong Lingxi at that time.
You can recognize it at a glance.
Family doctor Harold was left outside the drawing room by Arnault and did not participate in the subsequent negotiations.
Idaka didn't say anything to Bernard Arnault to sit down, but looked at him. Just like the night before yesterday when he went to meet Bernard Arnault at the party where he met Publicis Groupe's Eo Denton Glaser, Arnault
-The same thing happened to Lagardère and others.
It is not a gentleman not to retaliate against someone who has a grudge. It is also impolite to not reciprocate when you come back!
Bernard-Arnault had to speak first. He stood still in the living room and said in a weak voice: "Mr. Jing, we meet again. Congratulations on your great victory over me in the stock market."
Jing Gao said with a half-smile: "Mr. Arnault, at the Denton Glaser villa the night before yesterday, a total of four people threatened me and wanted me to step back. Why are you the only one here today?"
Bernard Arnault explained: "My old friend Arnold Lagardère has been in poor health these past two days and has been bedridden. His son Arthur Lagardère and I parted ways. As for Louis Froude,
He hasn't given up yet."
Jing Gao nodded and made a gesture to signal Bernard-Arnault to take a seat.
Bernard-Arnault sat on the sofa with the support of old John, feeling unspeakable resentment in his heart. In his seventy years of life, had he ever been so humiliated? He needed permission from others to even sit down. Even the French Commander-in-Chief was standing there.
He doesn't need to be like this in front of him!
After collecting his thoughts for a moment, Bernard-Arnault said calmly: "Mr. Jing, I will go to the Paris Stock Exchange tomorrow to apply for an emergency suspension of trading of Lvmh Group's stocks for half a year.
After that, I will ask the French government to drop the investigation into Zhaoshi Group and the various lawsuits Zhaoshi Group is facing, and I will withdraw my support. Your legal advisors should be able to solve the problem soon.
I allow Zhaoshi Group to become a shareholder of Lvmh Group, and I can apologize to you in public.
My request is that I hope you can stop shorting Lvmh Group.”
Igao frowned slightly and knocked on the wooden table next to him with his hand, "Mr. Arnault, I don't think you have forgotten who started this war in the first place. Restoring the status quo ante is not a bargaining chip that you can use in negotiations.
Conditions, this is what you should do. In your European wars, the defeated have always had to cede territory and pay compensation and sign unequal treaties. Is this how you fool me?"
Bernard-Arnault said: "This is not to fool you, but to compromise. Mr. Jing, how much money have you invested in shorting the stock price of Lvmh Group? With the suspension of trading for half a year, all your funds are locked in the stock market. In addition, in half a year,
Do you think the judicial investigation process against Zhaoshi Group will never be completed? Do you think that third-rate lobbyist Lanny Clive can stop it? I don’t want to lose both sides with you."
Jing Gao couldn't help but sneer, "Mr. Arnault, since you have such an advantage, why did you come to me to surrender? Let me see your joke? If I were you, I would just walk away."
“Pfft!” Dong Lingxi couldn’t help laughing. The peaks held up by her white satin shirt trembled and rippled slightly with her laughter. It was so beautiful.
What Mr. Jing said was very mean! However, it made her feel very comfortable. Some time ago, how did the Lvmh Group treat the Zhaoshi Group? Various tricks and routines were used to smear the face. How can it be effective? What's more, I still want to
Annexing Zhaoshi Group and grabbing tens of billions of euros in profits.
Should we treat our enemies as warmly as spring?
Guchi's character is quiet and quiet, and he also showed a sarcastic smile at this time.
Chen Qingshuang smiled and put her white palms on the back of Jinggao's sofa. She did not hide her emotions. The words of the richest man in Europe seemed reasonable, but just because the stock price of Lvmh Group plummeted, his trouble was
A big push. If the stock price does not rebound tomorrow, even if trading is suspended, his EO of Lvmh Group will definitely be lost. French banks will also come to ask for loans.
Bernard-Arnault was speechless for a moment. The sense of humiliation was extremely strong. After a while, he struggled to say a few words from his throat: "Mr. Jing, you can make whatever conditions you want."
Jing Gao took a sip of tea and refused: "No, Mr. Arnault, you are a surrenderer, you come and bid. I'm not in a hurry!"
Bernard-Arnault looked straight at Jing Gao, with a cold and stern look in his eyes, like an old lion king in extreme anger, gritting his teeth and saying sentence by sentence: "Young man, don't go too far.
Push yourself further. You have already made a lot of money by shorting Lvmh Group this time! Moreover, the share price of Lvmh Group is supported by performance.
It’s not something you can do by joining forces with Pinault and Deutsche Bank. The downturn in the stock price is only a short-lived thing. I have already contacted UBS and they are willing to become a strategic investor in Lvmh Group.”
As he spoke, he softened his tone and said: "I am willing to sell you the spirit brand Hennessy. This is the earliest spirit brand owned by the Lvmh Group. With this brand, the Arnault family will always be marked as a failure in front of you.
Even my children cannot raise their heads in front of you.
Are you satisfied with this?"
Jinggao will not be impressed by Bernard-Arnault's performance at all. His performance has two levels.
First, get angry first, then ask for help. It’s a bit of a lustful act. Most people will probably think that Bernard-Arnault is weak when encountering such a performance, and this condition should soon reach his bottom line.
With Arnault’s identity: the richest man in Europe, the Napoleon of the fashion industry, and the fourth richest man in the world, such a lowly plea, although it is somewhat concealed by the harsh words in front of him, is a plea. This makes people feel very happy!
Thus letting him go.
Second, what Bernard-Arnault said is false and true. Is UBS willing to wade into this muddy water? Who knows?
In any case, if Lv, a luxury brand, does not rush into public relations and get rid of the "shoddy" news bomb thrown by Pinault, it will be difficult to say that the Lvmh Group's stock price is fundamentally sound.
"Of course I'm not satisfied. This is not enough." Jing Gao smiled and listed his demands: "First, I want Carl Behrman and Harold Lynn to die. You can arrange it. Second, Zhaoshi Group
A cooperation agreement is needed. Lvmh Group must cede its share in the European market, especially the French market, to Zhaoshi Group and assist Zhaoshi Group in restoring its reputation.
Third, you have to compensate me for 2% of the shares of Lvmh Group.”
Although the valuation of Lvmh Group has plummeted, a 2% stake is still worth 1.9 billion euros.
Bernard-Arnault asked angrily: "Then do you want me to give you a seat on the board of directors of Lvmh Group?" He believed that Jing Gao held shares of Lvmh Group, and with these 2%, it would probably be enough for 5% of the shares.
Already.
Jing Gao raised his eyebrows and sneered: "That's not necessary! Frankly speaking, Lvmh Group is a star company in France, and it is of little use for me to have a board seat. I believe you have this ability."
Bernard-Arnault remained silent for a quarter of an hour, and said in a hoarse voice: "Deal! But, Mr. Jing, I have a condition. I need to see the stock price of Lvmh Group rise tomorrow."
Jinggao said unceremoniously: "If the agreement is reached, I will not short the Lvmh Group's stock. Whether it rises or falls, it is up to the market to decide. The only thing I can do to help you is to remove the Weibo article about the decline in Lvmh Group's market share.
information."
He will not admit that he is the main force in the short-selling. On the surface, the funds he short-selling is the 500 million euros given to Deutsche Bank for operation.
Bernard-Arnault took a deep look at Jing Gao. His temptation failed and he said: "Okay."
This is really a formidable opponent! Moreover, he is still so young. His children may not be his match.
Louis Froude was right. He needed to deal with the consequences once and for all.
