Chapter 530 [Founding in the East and Attacking in the West]

Lin Zuhui did not intend to personally intervene in the follow-up matters of the acquisition of 'Château Latour', so before returning to Hong Kong, he summoned three senior executives of Leit Group, Chen Shiwen, Ian and Joseph, as well as Lin Zuhui's personal consultant - the family office investment department

The person in charge, Bruce et al.

In the conference room, Lin Zuhui said calmly: "I predict that the acquisition of Chateau Latour will not go smoothly, so I am a drunkard who doesn't care about wine. My ultimate goal is to become a classified winery in Bordeaux."

Several foreigners seemed a little confused. They did not understand the Thirty-six Stratagems of the Chinese ancestors - to attack the east and attack the west.

Only Chen Shiwen's eyes lit up and he said: "What the boss means is that if we pretend to acquire Chateau Latour, the French will make a fuss, but we have the initiative after all. When the time is right, we will step back and acquire a winery."

The French think it is slightly acceptable for a premium winery.”

After hearing this explanation, the foreign executives finally understood and immediately showed admiration.

Although a preliminary agreement has been reached for this transaction, just like the acquisition of Liguan Winery by Japan's Suntory back then, it will definitely be involved in controversy; the only advantage is that United Leon Group is a British capital, and they now just want to sell it at a high price

, don’t care too much about who they sell to.

Lin Zuhui nodded and said: "Yes, the real target of Leit Group this time is: Luchen Family Manor, a second-class famous chateau that can be traced back to more than 300 years ago."

Chanel, I'm sorry!

In the previous life, in 1994, the Wertheimer family, owners of the fashion giant Chanel Group, acquired the second-class Chateau Roussin; and they could have owned Chateau Latour, but when they were hesitant, they were gi...

The boss of (Gucci) purchased it directly.

In recent years, the European and American economies have been in recession, and every year dozens of red wine estates are put up for sale in the Bordeaux region, so these classified estates are not immune.

Ian, the vice president of Leit Group, said firmly at this time: "Don't worry, boss, in this way, we will definitely be able to complete the acquisition."

Seeing everyone's expressions of determination to win, Lin Zuhui began to admire himself.

However, he still said cautiously: "This acquisition of a Bordeaux classified winery does not necessarily have to be Rouchen Saga Chateau, but it must be a classified winery. You must act quickly. After all, we now occupy the active side. As for the details of the acquisition,

, I will not participate in order to avoid having too great an impact."

Everyone nodded. The boss's meaning was very clear. He didn't want to get involved and was only willing to buy the British Harvey's Department Store. This is similar to the Chinese business style, and they don't like to be too public.

Lin Zuhui then arranged: "While you are making the acquisition, in order to reduce the controversy, you can advertise more in the media. Explain that the acquisition of 'Harvey's Department Store' will be beneficial to the development of red wine in the entire Bordeaux region, and tell them that the market in the Far East is huge.

.At the same time, it means that we will still hand over the management to the descendants of the Siegel family and continue to inject capital to upgrade and transform the winery."

Ian echoed: "Boss is right. Bordeaux wineries are currently facing difficulties and they really need to open up emerging markets. And Leit Group has strong strength in Asia, so acquiring classified wineries in the Bordeaux region is a win-win situation."

.”

Behind Harvey's Department Store is Chinese capital. This cannot be a secret, and it can only deceive ordinary people who are unaware.

Therefore, through a multi-pronged approach, the Leit Group will definitely be able to acquire a classified winery, and then use this winery as its flagship to acquire wine estates in New Zealand, Australia, and the United States to build its own red wine business.

"Okay, I'll leave the rest to you. It's time for me to return to Hong Kong!" Lin Zuhui said at last.

"Don't worry, boss," everyone assured him.

In their view, the current Leit Group is just robbing. The French did not agree with their acquisition of classified wineries, so they directly bought Chateau Latour.

At the London Airport, Monica was held in Lin Zuhui's arms, and she showed a reluctant expression.

"My dear, will it take two months for us to meet?" Monica looked at Lin Zuhui and said.

Lin Zuhui smiled, this time the two of them stayed together for seven days and seven nights, and had sex five times. The total duration was more than 6 hours, and their relationship became much stronger.

"If love lasts for a long time, how can we live together day and night? Miss Monica, you are only 28 years old, and you still have 50 years in your life. If you spend one month with me every year, we will have nearly 5 years."

Together. So, do you think the time is very short?"

He started the deception tactics. There was too much moisture here. From now on, she will be an old woman. There are still so many thoughts there. It is time for Lin Zuhui to change to a younger girl.

Monica is a woman after all. After a while, she said: "I'm waiting for your news! After I go back, I will study hard and enrich my life; I will also work hard and strive to make the clothing brand bigger as soon as possible." Finally, she

He touched his belly again and said, "According to what you said, I will definitely be pregnant this time, and I will give you a healthy child!"

In his previous life, Lin Zuhui would have been very moved, but in this life, he is destined to be a prodigal in love.

Leave no mercy!

"Very good, I will reward you well."

There is no woman who does not love money, and European and American societies are money-worshipping societies. There is no need to question this.

Sure enough, Monica gave Lin Zuhui a French romance.

When Lam Cho-fai returned to Hong Kong, there was already a quarrel in France.

French media have reported that the United Lyon Group intends to sell Chateau Latour to Harveys, one of the three major boutique department stores in the UK, for US$140 million.

Importantly, Harvey Department Store has been acquired by the Chinese-owned Leit Group.

For a time, Leit Group became famous and was dubbed by the media as ‘Asia’s LVMH Group’. It is conceivable that Leit Group’s world-class advertising was in vain this time.

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! The problem now is that if this deal is completed, France will completely lose Chateau Latour, one of the five first-class estates, so French public opinion is indeed fierce.

.

However, United Lyon Group and Harvey's Department Store are not vegetarians, saying that this transaction is fully in compliance with international law and French law.

After all, French law does not stipulate that Bordeaux wineries cannot be sold to foreigners, and there is even a precedent of selling them to the Japanese.

In this way, a three-party struggle was formed. The other party was not the French government, but French public opinion.

After all, the government cannot directly stop it, otherwise the French will become an unruly force in the future.

The senior executives of the Leit Group represented by Ian were conducting public relations activities in France while secretly negotiating with the owner of the Luchen Family Manor.

As a second-tier famous chateau, Luchen Family Manor, the price is naturally not that expensive. It only costs about 70 to 80 million US dollars (depending on the amount of wine in stock), and the price is very high.

Ian and others also kept in mind Lin Zuhui's words that the Luchen Family Manor was not necessarily a target, but all classified manors could be targets.

The Leit Group only needs one Bordeaux-classified winery, even a fifth-class manor, to achieve its goal.

Of course, the best result is the Luchen Family Manor, after all, this is using Chateau Latour as a bargaining chip.

Lin Zuhui ultimately plans to let Leit Group invest all the money in the acquisition of a Bordeaux classified winery. It is just a matter of leverage. After all, if the investment is made by the family, he still feels that it is a bit high-profile.
