How Did I Become a God - Vol 2 Chapter 703
Jing Gao, Dong Youwei, Ouyang Wan, Gu Xixi, Chen Qingshuang and the others moved to the reception of Pino, the third French luxury goods group. As soon as I walked in, many guests looked over.
To be honest, it is not common for this kind of luxury tycoon to hold receptions and parties with Chinese faces. It is generally impossible for the Chinese to get involved in these fields.
“who is this?”
“Oh, that is Mr. Denton Glaser, the CEO of Publicis Group.”
“Did something happen?”
“The thin Chinese is probably the rumored Mr. Jing.”
It was still the same as Jing Gao just entering the Denton Glaser cocktail party, with many surprised eyes. A confidant of Pino took over the position of the party housekeeper and drove Denton Glaser and Jing Gao to the second floor of the villa.
For parties, no matter how much space there is on the first floor of the villa, it is not enough. Private meetings need to be placed on the second floor.
A beautiful woman in the crowd watched Jing Gao’s group who was going upstairs and couldn’t help but whispered, “Yeah!” It was hard to hide the surprise in her eyes.
Pino is 57 years old and well-dressed. He has blond hair, similar to most Italian and French men, his forehead is already bald.
He and his father François-Pino have the same name and surname, with only Henry added in the middle, whose full name is François-Henri-Pino. People usually call him Pinot Noir.
At this time, he was standing and waiting in a room on the second floor. Under the introduction of Denton Glaser, he smiled and shook hands with Jing Gao, “Mr. Jing, it is nice to meet you.”
Whether the Pino family is sincere or disguised, they care about the huge Chinese market. At this time, they have a very good attitude towards Jing Gao. It’s like a spring breeze.
Dong Youwei, Chen Aiyang, Gu Xixi, Chen Qingshuang and others who were accompanying Jing Gao stayed outside the room on the second floor, and someone else hosted them. Teacher Zheng was still socializing at the Denton Glaser cocktail party. He has socialized with the French media circle and is familiar with many reporters and hosts.
Jing Gao came in with only the translator Ouyang Wan, smiled and shook hands with Pinot, “Mr. Pinot, hello.” He greeted him and took the seat.
The sofa in the room is very elegantly furnished, which is a bit of diplomatic talks. Two comfortable single sofas are placed slightly diagonally across from a wooden coffee table. The distance is moderate.
“You two, talk about it!” Denton Glaser said in a greeting and left.
There are only four people left in the room. Pino brought a Chinese translator. Middle-aged man, black, looks about thirty or forty years old.
Pino picked up the cigar box on the coffee table and motioned: “Mr. Well, do you want to smoke a cigar? Good Cuban goods.”
Jing Gao didn’t refuse Pinot’s kindness, and smiled and said, “Okay, I’ll try it.” He took out a cigar from the humidor.
Standing aside, Ouyang Wan thoughtfully took it over, cut off the round end of the round-head and flat-tail cigar with the cigar cutter on the coffee table, handed it to Jing Gao, took the match, and squatted down to light Jing Gao. She has always understood this kind of man’s taste.
Jing Gao took a sip of the cigar gently, spit out the smoke, and felt the smell of the cigar in his mouth.
Little Pino smiled and watched this scene, half-jokingly saying in an enviable tone: “Mr. Jing, you have a good translation.” Beauty Su holds a fire and squats down to light a cigar. This is a kind of thing in any country. Things that make men want and feel very happy.
Jing Gao smiled, holding a cigar, without going around, and calmly said: “Mr. Pinot, I just talked to Bernard-Arnault, and I heard from Mr. Denton-Glaser that France can only fight against the Pinot family. The Emperor Napoleon, the Zhaoze Group is currently in a difficult situation, and I hope to get your help.”
Little Pino did not agree, but he did not refuse or evade. Instead, he smoked a cigar and talked about the grievances between the two companies. “At the end of the 1990s, Arnault’s lvmh group wanted to be with us, which was also called ppr at the time. The group fought fiercely for the control of’Gucci’.
This commercial war, from the stock market to the court to the game behind it, made both of us hate each other.
Therefore, there is an unwritten rule in France that in public, the Pino family will not stay with the Arnaud family. ”
Jing Gao nodded and smoked a cigar without rush.
Little Pino smiled and lit his soot on his side, and said: “So, Mr. Jing, you want me to help you, what benefits can you give first? Sorry, please forgive me for speaking too directly.
Secondly, what is your plan? Kering Group’s sales this year will definitely surpass L’Oréal Group. After the death of Ms. Lilian Bettencourt, L’Oreal was unstable internally. But against the Arnaud and Lagardère consortium, some things are not what Kering Group can do. ”
This is very reasonable, and perhaps some kind of trap is hidden. After all, who will come up with the plan for the counterattack the first time they meet?
And now, no matter how Pino says words, packages, or logic infers, the core thing is this: how do you do Arnaud?
Put it forward first, and then you can decide whether to agree or not.
Jing Gao pondered slightly, but remembered the call he received from Guo Lingyu in Frankfurt when he left the villa in District 16, and decided: “Mr. Pino, I need some bad news from the lvmh group. I plan to block lvmh on the stock market. Group and Lagardère Consortium.
These news, I am willing to spend money to buy. Or, we can operate jointly on Euronext. ”
Little Pino laughed, smoked a cigar comfortably, and said with a smile: “Mr. Well, I want to say that there is no bad news about Arnault. You probably don’t believe it. But, to be honest, I am not optimistic. You are in the stock market. Give the two old guys a lesson.”
As he said, sit up straight and put a finger up, “First, the two old guys have a lot of cash on the books. It may not be their business account registered in France, but they definitely have.
Cash flow is the guarantee for the survival of a company. Arnaud and Lagardère, the two old guys, have been in business for a lifetime and will not make mistakes on this.
Second, those two old guys can borrow a lot from the bank. This is determined by their business reputation and the assets they hold. I estimate that Arnault alone can lend at least 1 billion euros in major French banks in one day. least!
How much the shares of the lvmh group in his hands are worth, you can see today’s market estimate.
Third, they have politicians behind them. If the stocks of these two companies fall sharply in a short period of time, then they can use political resources to suspend trading for a long time and lock your funds in it.
Of course, doing so will cause great damage to them, the French government, and Euronext. ”
Little Pino shook his three fingers in front of Jing Gao’s eyes, and concluded: “So, although I have the black material of Arnault this old thing, but I have no intention of attacking him in the stock market. The effect is not great, I don’t. I don’t want to start another war with him. Therefore, I will not use my funds to operate on the stock market.
I am willing to sell you a real bad material at a price of 100 million euros. ”
Ouyang Wan, acting as a translator, was taken aback, 100 million euros! She doesn’t have so much net worth now. Then, I listened to Pino’s translator saying this condition in a slightly weird Mandarin,
Jing Gao smiled slightly, fingers between his cigars, and stared at Pinot with sharp eyes: “Mr. Pinot, if I spend 100 million euros to buy bad materials but have no actual effect, then I will become France, and even The laughing stock of the Chinese business community!”
Little Pino smiled and shook his hand, and said, “No, no. Mr. Jing, believe me, this bad material will definitely make you worthwhile, so that you can reap the lvmh group in the stock market. The limit of limit is easy. As long as you operate it properly, your income will never be less than 1 billion euros.”
Jing Gao smiled, with a faint smile, and spit out the cigar in his mouth, which made his face a little bit obscure. He said solemnly: “Deal!” In Ouyang Wan’s ear, he said: “Xiaowan, inform Qingshuang. Transfer money.” Then said to Pino: “Mr. Pino, you need to provide me with an account.”
Little Pino asked the translator beside him to follow Ouyang Wan and said happily, “Mr. Jing, you will definitely not regret it.”
…
…
Inter-bank transfers, cross-border transfers, which involve exchange rate, bank transaction settlement and other issues. At the same time, this also involves tax issues.
Even though the Pino family is very powerful in France, it still took about two hours for the funds to be transferred from the Xihe Alpha Fund registered in the Cayman Islands to the account of a company in the tax-free paradise of Andorra by the Pino family.
The Principality of Andorra is located on the border of France and Spain. It is a small country with a total population of 85,000. Use Catalan. The population is composed of Spanish, Portuguese, and French. The maximum tax rate is 10%. And it was not until 2015 that income tax was imposed due to pressure from the European Union.
So, those high taxes in Europe are taxed by those people? The answer is probably self-evident. Really rich people will not pay more taxes, or even pay no taxes.
Jing Gao’s funds are transferred to Pino’s designated account. How to legally avoid taxes is the business of his financial adviser. At the same time, he also got little Pino to give bad information. A thick document bag.
Dong Youwei’s lawyers and accountants who are proficient in French law came in and jointly reviewed the documents.
“Mr. Jing, happy cooperation!” Little Pino got up and shook hands with the determined Jing Gao.
Jing Gao nodded and smiled and said: “Mr. Pino, I hope we can cooperate happily!” With his small team, he walked out of the room on the second floor under Pino’s seeing off, and Gu Xixi, who was waiting outside, The army and others converged.
The soldier had already followed Jing Gao’s instructions and used a new card. He sent a text message to the bodyguard next to Guo Lingyu in Pino’s villa, which is also a new card: For breakfast tomorrow, I want to eat bread. .
This is a long agreed secret code.
Jing Gao does not care about how this document is sent to Frankfurt. This is something that soldiers have to worry about. There is no doubt that he bought this news at a premium.
However, the two evils are the less powerful. The most important thing for him now is to “rescue” the Showy Group, which is valued at 40 billion euros, rather than to negotiate with the Deutsche Bank Investment Banking Department and Pino ~www.mtlnovel.com~ They are here, including Publicis Group, How much money Lanny Clive made with him.
This is a necessary loss.
No business, no evil. Merchants want to grab profits.
“…” The cheerful violin music sounded in the lobby on the first floor, at 11 o’clock in the evening, it was the time for the party.
As soon as Pino appeared, he seemed to be a king, attracting the attention of the guests at the reception. Jing Gao, who was next to Pino, was the king’s most important guest.
He also attracted people’s attention.
As soon as I reached the first floor of the stairs, there was a beautiful girl wearing an elegant and cool dark purple evening dress and came over lightly, with black hair hanging down her shoulders, and her big eyes carrying the deep blue of the Mediterranean. His face was like a Latin girl, and he was tall and perfect. Sexy and like a young girl with wild and enchanting. People will guess, is she a Spaniard?
She came over with a glass of champagne and greeted Pino, “Godfather, this is…”
