"Who is this Garroso? How dare he come to you so blatantly to ask for 30% of the Italian Serie A shares?"
After returning home, Cao Yunshang finally couldn't help but ask Chu Huan about Garoso's situation.
Chu Huan sat on the sofa, held Cao Yunshang in his arms, and said with a smile: "A fool who thinks he is ruthless enough and has many brothers!"
In the past two days, Chu Huan was not only concerned about the relationship between the company and himself in Italy, but also asked Ma Jizu to write down information on Garoso's situation and give it to him.
Garoso, now 32 years old, joined the 'Ndrangheta when he was 15 years old. A few days after he joined the 'Ndrangheta, he shot and killed a rival of the 'Ndrangheta in the street.
But the battle that really made Garroso famous was when he single-handedly murdered Vicento Milazzo, who was known as the "little godfather" in Sicily at the time.
It was precisely because of this ability that he gained the favor of the top brass of the 'Ndrangheta, and then he began to be involved in the core business of the 'Ndrangheta. In the process, anyone who dared to be enemies with Garoso died inexplicably.
Then in 1973, he also planned the kidnapping of Paul Getty's grandson.
After listening to Garoso's deeds, Cao Yunshang said with some worry.
"Obviously this Garroso is a madman."
But Chu Huan said without paying much attention: "Madmen are also human beings. They only have one head on two shoulders. They will die even if they are shot!"
Cao Yunshang asked: "Would this be very troublesome?"
Chu Huan shook his head and said: "No, after all, he is just a club leader. If even such a person thinks that he can control everything, he is really too naive!"
Cao Yunshang could only nod and said: "But no matter what? You have to be careful!"
Chu Huan nodded: "Don't worry, I'm measured!"
Seeing that Chu Huan had his own thoughts on this matter, Cao Yunshang asked Chu Huan about Gucci after telling Chu Huan several times to be careful.
"You didn't finish what you said in the restaurant just now. Are you worried about Miuccia and Bertelli?"
Chu Huan nodded and said: "Yes, if you want to acquire Gucci, it is not something that can be completed in a short time. If other problems arise during the process, it will cause some unnecessary losses to the acquisition. I think
It’s better to be careful!”
Cao Yunshang lay on Chu Huan's body and asked excitedly: "Then what method did you come up with?"
Chu Huan dragged Cao Yunshang's body up and found the most comfortable position before saying: "Of course it's a two-pronged approach. What Maurizio cares about is Gucci's management rights, not Aldo's control over Gucci."
In fact, even if he wanted to acquire these shares, he did not have the capital to acquire them.
In the early stage, Empire Fashion Group could offer Gucci a stake in Gucci as a reason to provide more sales channels. The stake does not need to be too large, only about 10% is enough.
I think no luxury brand can refuse the sales channels of Empire Fashion Group now, right?"
Cao Yunshang nodded proudly.
Today, Empire Fashion Group's sales channels include the Printemps department store that was previously acquired in Paris, as well as Printemps department stores under construction in Causeway Bay, Tokyo, New York, Los Angeles, and Miami in North America, as well as many brand-operated stores.
As long as Printemps department stores in these places are completed, Empire Fashion Group will definitely have the world's largest luxury goods sales channel.
As for Gucci, as a somewhat shabby aristocrat nowadays, it would be good for them if they could join Printemps Department Store.
"It shouldn't be a big problem!"
Chu Huan nodded slightly and continued: "After this step is completed, the Empire Fashion Group will join Gucci's brand, and then it will be time to conquer Paul's. As long as Paul is willing to provide questions about Aldo, then we can
With the help of this evidence, Aldo was offered to acquire his shares in Gucci.
At that time, Aldo would have no choice but to trade with us."
The fight for property between wealthy families often makes the original family become enemies rather than enemies.
If Aldo really has any evidence of a crime, then he will lose his current rights in Gucci, and the one who ultimately benefits will be Maurizio, his nephew, who has always been at odds with him.
Obviously, Aldo cannot accept such a result. In addition, the Imperial Fashion Group has this evidence, so Aldo can only sell the shares to the Imperial Fashion Group.
Gucci is not a listed company now. Aldo and Maurizio each hold 50% of Gucci's shares.
Previously, Imperial Fashion Group used sales channels as a bargaining chip to invest in Gucci, plus the Gucci shares acquired from Aldo.
Then Imperial Fashion Group owns the largest share of Gucci.
"Even if everything goes so smoothly, Maurizio, as the last member of the Gucci family, will definitely not be willing to give up the Gucci brand in his hands easily!"
Professional managers would dare to compete with the founder team for power, let alone a company like this that has been established for decades. Maurizio will definitely not sit still and wait for death!
Chu Huan leaned on the sofa, and then said happily: "As long as we own the largest share of Gucci, then what we want to do next is up to us, and there is no need to worry about Maurizio.
Up."
The reason why Chu Huan is so calm is because in the capital market, money is everything, and Chu Huan also has ten thousand ways to cripple Maurizio. The simplest example is that Chu Huan can make Gucci go public, and then the sky is the limit.
Capital injection can completely dilute Maurizio's shares.
Cao Yunshang thought for a moment and understood what Chu Huan meant, and said: "Although this plan still has many loopholes and specific operations, for us, we do have a general direction!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Chu Huan nodded slightly and said: "Tomorrow, you can let the people in your company complete this plan!"
Cao Yunshang told Chu Huan: "But I need Ma Jizu's help during the implementation of this plan."
"That's no problem. If you need Azu to do anything, just tell him directly!"
"Um!"
.
After Cao Yunshang arrived in Milan, in addition to having dinner with Miuccia and Bertelli with Chu Huan that day, she began to work on the issue of the fashion show in Milan.
Time soon came to the day of the event. As a result, when Cao Yunshang was preparing to go out in the morning, Cao Yunshang's secretary Su Yi hurried over.
"Boss, something happened. News came from the Xihua Hotel, saying that they received a call this morning and someone placed two bombs in the hotel. All activities today have been cancelled!"
Hotel Cihua is the largest hotel in Milan, Italy. Unfortunately, the owner failed during the global stock market crash in the 1980s, and Hotel Xihua has become the history of Milan. However, no matter what, Hotel Xihua is still the best hotel in Milan.
But I didn't expect that such a situation would occur.
Cao Yunshang turned to look at Chu Huan, who also stood up on the sofa and asked Su Yi, "Is this matter confirmed?"
Su Yi said: "It has been confirmed. The police in Milan have arrived at the Xihua Hotel and are investigating!"
"Besides the people from our company, are there any other important people staying in Xihua Hotel?" Chu Huan continued to ask Su Yi.
Su Yi shook her head and said: "In addition to people from our company, there are also some people who participated in the fashion show this time."
The fashion show of Empire Fashion Group has become a global fashion trend at this time, and many celebrities and dignitaries will attend the show.
"It will happen sooner or later, but it happened at this time. It seems that the other party came for the fashion show!" Cao Yunshang said angrily.
Now that something like this has happened at the Xihua Hotel, even if the bomb is defused, it is impossible to choose this place as a place to hold a fashion show.
But now the announcement about this fashion show has been sent out. If it cannot be held on time, the impact can be imagined.
"Hurry up and activate the backup venue. Today's show would rather be moved to another venue than not to be held!"
Cao Yunshang just thought about it briefly and decided to change the venue to hold today's show. Although it would still be a bit embarrassing, it was better than having no way to hold it.
Su Yi nodded and said: "Our people are already in contact, and have explained it to our guests and staff, and arranged a new hotel for them!"
"Brother Huan, I need to go over and deal with the matters in the company. Let's go first!" Cao Yunshang also understood that even if there were people under her to do these things at this time, she herself must be present.
Chu Huan warned: "Let Gu Sha and the others take good care of you. In addition, I will call Azu now and ask him to send more people there!"
Cao Yunshang nodded, and then left with Su Yi, Gu Sha and others.
Chu Huan asked Qin Peng to call Ma Jizu.
After Ma Jizu arrived, Chu Huan simply told Ma Jizu what happened.
"Don't worry, Chairman, I will send 20 people there now!" Ma Jizu also understood that this matter could not be delayed, so he directly picked up the phone on the table from Chu Huan and made arrangements!
Because of Garoso's incident, Ma Jizu has already dispatched a team of 100 people to Milan.
"In the past fifty, call Tonioli and ask the Milan police to dispatch too!" Chu Huan sat there and said with a gloomy expression.
"Okay!" Ma Jizu, who was holding the phone, said immediately.
After Ma Jizu hung up the phone, he said to Chu Huan: "Chairman, the arrangements have been made. Gu Sha and the others will be there to take care of you when we get there!"
Chu Huan nodded slightly and said to Ma Jizu: "There is no big conflict of interest in Yunshang's fashion show. Those people definitely didn't go there for the fashion show!"
Ma Jizu understood what Chu Huan meant and said, "Chairman, are you saying that this matter is for you?"
"It should be like this!" Chu Huan said with a gloomy face: "If this thing is done against me, then this person is ready to come out!"
"Galoso!" Ma Jizu also guessed this candidate.
Chu Huan nodded and said to Ma Jizu: "Call Garoso's number!"
Chu Huan was so calm at this time that it was terrifying. Although Ma Jizu had been away from home for the past few years, he also understood Chu Huan's personality. He knew that Chu Huan must be extremely angry now!
After dialing Garoso's number, Ma Jizu handed the phone to Chu Huan.
"Director Chu, are you satisfied with my gift?"
Garoso seemed to have been waiting for Chu Huan's call. After Chu Huan made the call, he immediately pointed out the matter.
"So, you did what happened at Xihua Hotel?" At this time, Chu Huan's tone was as calm as a lake, without any waves!
"It's just a little joke with Director Chu. Isn't Director Chu really angry?"
Garoso did not deny the incident.
"I remember that the agreement between us has not expired yet. I didn't expect you to be so anxious?" Chu Huan asked.
Garoso laughed and said: "Cooperating with Director Chu can bring in profits of hundreds of millions of dollars a year. How can I not be anxious? But don't worry, Director Chu, what happened at the West China Hotel is just a joke. I just want to let people
It’s just that Director Chu can understand more directly the influence of our ‘Ndrangheta in Milan.”
"So this is how the 'Ndrangheta's influence is demonstrated!" Chu Huan held the phone and said: "Now I know, I will give you an accurate answer in three days!"
"Okay!" Garoso said happily on the phone: "If that's the case, that would be great. Before, I was still wondering when Director Chu would be able to give me an accurate answer. Now that I have it,
Director Chu’s words make me feel at ease, and I will come to apologize in person when the time comes!"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Then both parties hung up the phone!
After Chu Huan hung up the phone, he said to Ma Jizu: "Ask one hundred more of your people in Europe to come over, and then they will be fully armed!"
Ma Jizu nodded and said, "No problem!"
What Ma Jizu did in Europe seemed very glorious, but as long as anything had anything to do with politics, it was not safe.
Therefore, Ma Jizu's team, not counting the clerks and the hidden lines developed locally, has brought more than 500 people to Xiangjiang alone, and they are all scattered in various European countries.
"In addition, call Alitalia, charter a plane in the name of Jiaku, and when Yunshang and the others' show is over, immediately arrange for people from the Empire Fashion Group to take a connecting flight to leave Italy, and at the same time arrange a team of 100 people to protect me.
Don’t have any surprises in this process!”
"No problem!" Ma Jizu asked: "Chairman, why don't you also leave Milan with your wife's special plane?"
Chu Huan refused: "I can't leave yet. If I leave, the entire Italian Acu branch will be hit by these people, and then we will need to re-establish it!"
Seeing that Chu Huan had finished giving orders, Qin Peng suggested to Chu Huan again: "Chairman, this Garoso is so arrogant. As long as you give the order, I can guarantee that he will be unnoticed today...
....”
"Need not!"
Chu Huan said coldly: "Since these Italian black gloves want to see my reaction, let them take a good look at why this world is called a capital society!"
Chu Huan asked Ma Jizu to send men over, not to directly fight Garoso, but to ensure his own safety.
With five hundred military kings like Qin Peng by his side, Chu Huan believed that even if Milan's army came, they would not be able to break into the place where he lived, let alone someone like Garoso.
And if Chu Huan doesn't leave here, he also has another consideration, that is, Garoso is so arrogant now. If Chu Huan doesn't see him being dealt with with his own eyes, Chu Huan will not be able to live with it!
Now everything is waiting for Cao Yunshang and others to leave here.
At this time, Vignali walked in wearing a leather jacket and tight jeans, with her hair loose.
"What happened at Xihua Hotel..."
Chu Huan interrupted Vignali and said, "I already know."
Vignali sat on the sofa and said: "It seems that Garroso is determined to win your business in Italy, otherwise he would not do such an outrageous thing."
Chu Huan asked Vignali: "Why, your Camorra family in Sicily also has conflicts with the 'Ndrangheta?"
Vignali looked at Chu Huan in confusion at first, then suddenly reacted and said with some dissatisfaction: "Do you suspect that I am here to sow discord?"
Chu Huan asked: "Isn't it?"
Vignali said angrily: "Of course not, haven't I told you already? My father has given up on cooperating with you. As for the matter between our Camorra family and the 'Ndrangheta, we will naturally solve it ourselves."
Yes, how could you do such a thing!"
"Okay!" Chu Huan didn't say anything more on this matter.
Vignali was still a little angry and said: "It's a waste that I came to inform you immediately after getting this news, and you still doubted me!"
Chu Huan asked: "Then do you want me to apologize to you?"
"If you have this attitude, I will not refuse!" Vignali looked at Chu Huan arrogantly.
Chu Huan chuckled and said nothing.
Seeing Chu Huan's attitude, Vignali's anger became even more intense. She wanted to get up and leave, but she also wanted to see how Chu Huan handled the matter. In the end, she could only sit down angrily with her arms folded.
It's there.
Chu Huan had already finished giving instructions to Ma Jizu at this time, so naturally he would not say anything more.
So Chu Huan got up and prepared to go to his study room to continue handling company matters.
Vignali angrily followed Chu Huan. Seeing that Chu Huan was actually dealing with official business, she couldn't help it and asked: "Hey, your wife is dealing with her affairs outside now, and now you are here
You stay in your study and don't care about what's going on outside. Don't you worry about her safety at all?"
Chu Huan said calmly: "Garoso's purpose is to seek money, not to kill. Releasing the news about planting a bomb in the Xihua Hotel is the limit of what he can do. He will not do anything more excessive."
Will do it."
Moreover, Chu Huan also understood that even if he followed Cao Yunshang to attend the fashion show now, it would be of no use. It would be better to stay here and deal with this matter.
Italy is one of the fashionable countries in Europe, and Cao Yunshang will definitely come here often in the future, so the troubles here must be solved this time, otherwise, there will be more troubles later.
"Galoso is a madman, but a madman can do anything!" Vignali couldn't help but said.
Chu Huan said: "It's impossible for a madman to touch Yun Shang!"
With a protection team of fifty people, there is absolutely no need to worry about Cao Yunshang's safety. This is Chu Huan's trust in Ma Jizu and others!
.
"Galoso, I think you have gone too far this time!"
In a classical apartment in Milan, sitting at a long oval table were senior officials of the Italian 'Ndrangheta in Milan.
Compared with the Camorra family, which is maintained by family blood relations, the 'Ndrangheta is more like a modern listed company.
Garoso is the president of this listed company, but he does not have absolute control of the company, and there are many small shareholders who hold partial shares.
The person who said this now is a senior member of the 'Ndrangheta.
In fact, not only this senior executive was dissatisfied with Garoso's current behavior, but other senior executives were also somewhat dissatisfied with Garroso's behavior at this time.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Our purpose is to seek money. You are pressing Chu Huan step by step like this. If he finally decides to give up cooperation with us, you know that the company will
How much loss will you bear?”
There are other high-level sermons.
Garroso sat there a little arrogantly and said without concealment: "He dares, this is Italy, as long as he wants to make money in Italy, then he must give us food to the 'Ndrangheta. This is the rule of our 'Ndrangheta."
.”
"You think Chu Huan is the small boss of those street shops. His company is spread all over the world and it has great influence in the world!" The senior executive who had previously refuted Garroso continued.
"Haha!" Garroso smiled contemptuously and said: "So what? Paul Getty is not more influential than Chu Huan. He was once the richest man in North America. So what? In the end, we don't have to be obedient.
Can we send money to bring his grandson back?"
However, Garoso was arrogant, but he also understood that as long as he wanted to continue as president of the 'Ndrangheta, he would need the support of these people.
So he spoke to comfort them.
"Don't worry, I have investigated Chu Huan's situation clearly. This person has some influence around the world, but so what?
He just has some money. Do you still think there will be government forces to suppress us for him?
Besides, even if a government wants to suppress us, will our 'Ndrangheta be so easily suppressed? Over the years, the Italian government has been trying to eliminate us, but when did they do it?
Everyone, Chu Huan’s Jiaku makes hundreds of millions of dollars every year in Italy. Aren’t you jealous?
He is just a businessman, and businessmen want money, otherwise he would not have given us millions of dollars every year, so this time we will defeat them.
With 30% of Jiaku’s profits, the annual income is at least over 100 million US dollars. Don’t you guys want this money?”
Money and silk touch people’s hearts!
Garoso's words caused everyone in the 'Ndrangheta to fall into silence.
Finally, someone confirmed to Garoso: "Are you sure there will be no problem with this matter?"
Garroso laughed and said: "It's not like there are no Chinese in Milan. What are they like? Don't you know?"
Don’t worry, each of these rich people is more precious than the other, and I’m sure they won’t be able to do anything about it!”
In the end, everyone in the 'Ndrangheta listened to Garoso's opinions, mainly because they really didn't want to give up the annual income of more than 100 million US dollars that Garoso just mentioned!
That night, Cao Yunshang returned to the manor and saw Chu Huan, and also saw Vignali who had been staying here.
However, when Cao Yunshang came to Milan, Chu Huan had already told her about Vignali, so Cao Yunshang didn't say much.
"How is it? Did today's show go well?" Chu Huan asked Cao Yunshang.
Cao Yunshang nodded and said: "It went well, no more accidents happened!"
Chu Huan understood that this was what he thought, "Since there is no problem with today's show, then there should be no problem with the show tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.
After the show is over, you and the company can leave directly!"
Cao Yunshang looked at Chu Huan and asked, "Aren't you going to leave?"
Chu Huan shook his head and said: "I can't leave yet. I have to stay here and resolve this matter before I can go back!"
When Vignali heard what Chu Huan said, she knew that Chu Huan was planning to take action after Cao Yunshang's show was over, and letting Cao Yunshang leave Italy was probably for Cao Yunshang's safety.
"If we follow the plot in the movie, Cao Yunshang should have expressed his intention to stay with Chu Huan at this time!"
Vignali thought silently.
However, Cao Yunshang's reaction was obviously beyond Vignali's expectations.
Cao Yunshang just took a deep look at Chu Huan, and then said: "I understand, but you must keep in touch with me at all times!"
Chu Huan smiled happily and said: "Don't worry, even if Garoso is brave enough, he won't dare to do anything next to me!"
In addition to the five hundred people transferred by Ma Jizu, Chu Huan also had a more powerful protective shield.
"That's good!"
"No!" At this time Vignali finally couldn't help it anymore and asked Cao Yunshang directly: "You choose to leave Italy at this time, aren't you worried about Chu Huan's situation?"
"Worry!" Cao Yunshang looked at Vignali with a smile and said seriously: "But I believe in Brother Huan's ability more. Since Brother Huan asked me to leave Italy first and he won't leave, then Brother Huan must have a way.
Solve this problem now!
And if I stay here, it is very likely that I will become a weakness for others to deal with Brother Huan. Since I can’t help you much here, it’s better not to be this burden.”
Vignali looked at Cao Yunshang blankly, wondering what kind of brain circuit this couple had.
Chu Huan smiled and said: "Does it feel different from the plot of the movie you saw on TV?"
