How Did I Become a God - Vol 2 Chapter 693
Bring back all kinds of sights to the country to the center of this storm: Paris. There is a time difference in the transmission of information, even in the age of the Internet.
When some people think that the overall situation is set, in fact, in the luxury villa of the French media giant Lagardère Consortium in Paris, the contemporary leader of the Lagardère Consortium, Arnold Lagardère and his friends, are in charge of this matter. Thomas’ subordinate explains the current situation.
Except for Mr. Thomas, there are a total of five people in the small living room of this villa.
Arnold Lagardère, his son Arthur Lagardère, Bernard Arnault, CEO of the LVMH Group, and Louis Froude, Minister of Homeland Integration and Local Liaison Affairs.
The five of them were sitting in the chairs in the small living room. In the middle of the small living room was the bald Mr. Thomas. He is introducing the situation in French.
The news that Jing Gao will attend a cocktail party with Denton Glaser, CEO of Publics, a large advertising company, has arrived. Publicis Group gave news and greetings to the heads of the local consortium in advance.
So, three days later, how will they talk to Jing Gao when they meet?
Do you pick up the knife and cut the meat and eat it with a big mouthful?
They need to understand the specific and real situation in all aspects at this time to make a decision.
The bald Mr. Thomas was a little agitated, and he kept gesticulating to strengthen his tone. Because the situation is not so good,”
Gentlemen, Karl Behrman is a **** trash. He promised to fix the Zhaoshi Group, but now he is relying on us to help him.
Just the day before yesterday, he even succumbed to the pressure of Jing Gao to submit an extraordinary general meeting of shareholders and cancelled the temporary board of directors. Instead, the time of the interim board of directors will be resigned to 6.8 next week…”
According to the plan, regardless of who made the plan, in general, first of all, the CEO of the Showe Group, Karl Behrman, wants to turn the Showe Group into a crisis-ridden and miserable company.
It is not the fourth-largest luxury goods group in France, which seems to be booming, determined to develop, and valued as high as 40 billion euros.
However, it is clear that, as the CEO of the Showy Group, the current de facto leader, Karl Behrman, has not completed the task.
In public opinion, the Zhaoze Group is currently in Paris, and everyone is clamoring in France. However, the main disgust of the French people towards the Zhaoshi Group is still concentrated in the fact that Chinese capital has been involved in the core industry of France.
In addition, many consumers mistakenly believe that this is a French company and have been deceived.
But this is not enough to shake the fundamentals of Zhaoshi Group. Because 70% of global luxury goods consumption is in China. The basic disk of the Zhaoze Group is in China. Sales in France tend to zero, and they will not be affected.
In Thomas’s opinion, it is unforgivable that Karl Behrman did not dare to touch the “political correctness” of the French. This idiot asks for so many benefits, but doesn’t work! As long as Karl Behrman expresses certain aspects of public opinion, the Zhaoze Group will immediately become notorious, it is difficult to clean up, and it will be directly nailed to death!
However, Thomas didn’t think about why Karl Behrman didn’t dare to use this trick?
First, as the major shareholder Xihe Alpha Fund has submitted the proposal of the Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders, Karl Behrman dares to make provocative remarks to the French public, which will accelerate his stepping down.
Secondly, Karl Behrman also wants to continue to work as CEO of Zhaoshi Group in the future, and he wants to call on the wind and rain. How could he be willing to truly destroy the foundation of the Zhaoze Group?
Arthur Lagardère was in his fifties and assisted his father in managing a huge publishing house and media group. He frowned slightly and asked: “Have the clothing brands under the Showe Group moved?”
Thomas said: “Half of the brands have been rebelling, some have filed lawsuits, some have been vocal, wanting more benefits, and some have been negotiating with companies such as the LVMH Group. The lawsuits have been brought to justice in the local area. program.”
Thomas portrayed a precarious doomsday situation of the Zhaoshi Group.
Arthur Lagardère asked again, “So, what about the judicial process for the Zhaoze Group investigation? Where did it go?”
Louis Froude, who served in the cabinet, replied on his behalf: “I’m already paying attention. I’m currently going through the process within the government. It may take some time.”
The chandelier above the small living room is very beautiful and bright. With a typical French face, Thomas, who was already bald in his middle age, hesitated to speak.
The officials in the government have already been PR by Lanny Clive, and they must be procrastinated. However, on such occasions, he really didn’t have to break a secret that everyone understood.
Isn’t this that the Minister has promised to exert his influence?
Bernard Arnault, the CEO of LVMH Group, the richest man in Europe, was 70 years old, sitting in a soft and comfortable chair, wearing a suit, with extremely elegant manners, and said faintly: “What about the situation at the bank?”
Thomas said: “As far as I know, Societe Generale asks Showy Group to repay 100 million euros of loan three months in advance. However, according to feedback from Showy Group, their chief financial officer Dong Lingxi said that it will be the major shareholder Xi And Alpha Fund injected capital to repay the 100 million euro loan.”
Arthur Lagardère said uncomfortably: “This woman is getting in the way! It belongs to the **** that Jing Gaoan inserted in the Shoze Group. Do you want to deal with her before meeting?”
The so-called “disposal” is to send gunmen to kill or cause a car accident. This is not difficult in France.
Because there are no cameras all over the street.
Bernard Arnault shook his head, “Don’t move for now.” He doesn’t like the need for violence.
Someone who has not spoken said: “Speaking of which, at present, we can’t do anything about this Mr. Jing and the Zhaoshi Group?”
Arnold Lagardère opened his eyes and said: “Not all. Our partner, Richard from Hong Kong Island, has exaggerated and exaggerated our news here and passed it back to China.
This is enough to affect the reputation of the Showy Group, which is the big market for the Showy Group.
In fact, the news he fed back to Bernard did work. ”
Bernard Arnault nodded, expressing his support for his old friend’s remarks, and it was one of his assistants who was in charge of docking with Xiao Li. At this time, he bluntly said: “Xiao Li’s ability is insufficient, we can not give feedback from the Chinese market, but to solve the problem here in Paris. Thomas, how much public relations fees did Publicis Group charge?”
Thomas replied respectfully: “Mr. Arnault, according to reliable sources, they received a large sum of 60 million euros.”
This caused several people to change their colors.
Publicis Group charges such expensive media public relations fees, which shows that they are certain to change public opinion. And Publicis Group just brought the two parties to sit down and talk, which is not worth 60 million euros!
Bernard Arnault said calmly: “So, everyone, the current situation is that we seem to have the upper hand, but in fact we can’t do anything about the Zhaoze Group for the time being. And they have already responded.
Therefore, the negotiation three days later is not a feast for us to get what we want and divide our interests. Instead, the two sides have to discuss how to end the storm~www.mtlnovel.com~ Is that true? ”
Thomas almost burst into tears, and hurriedly said: “Yes!”
“Yes.”
“Yes.”
Others have spoken out, approving of Bernard Arnault’s summary.
Arnold Lagardère was getting older, waved tiredly, let the bald Thomas out, raised his glass, and invited a few people to have a drink together, and said: “Bernard, we have to fight for the best interests in three days.”
“Yes.”
Bernard Arnault, the richest men in Europe nodded. The other three nodded.
For some reason, the atmosphere in the small living room was suddenly a little silent.
It was originally a sneak attack and the advantage of the home court. Public opinion, banks, and rating agencies all participated and prepared to share this gluttonous feast, but how did things turn out to be like this?
