Legend of Xiangjiang Tycoon - Chapter 527

After winning L’Oreal, Li Zhiwen had nothing else to do in Paris, so he took Monica Bellucci to Milan. After all, the Prada Group in Milan also needed Li Zhiwen to visit.

Li Zhiwen and Isabel Adjani said goodbye to Sophie Marceau, and also told Isabel Adjani that she would come to see the children.

Milan Prada Group Headquarters

“Dora, make a cup of coffee for John!” Li Zhiwen came to the office and said to Dora Carrington who was following behind while taking off his jacket.

“Okay, boss!” Dora Carrington replied.

Li Zhiwen sat down on the boss chair and said to John Suffolk, “Sit, John!”

“Yes, boss!” John Suffolk said.

“John, how are you doing recently?” Li Zhiwen asked in a chatty manner.

“Very good, if the work could be less, it might be more fulfilling.” John Suffolk spread his hands and said.

“John, then I can’t promise you, you have to think about the dividends at the end of each year.” Li Zhiwen pretended to be unhappy and said.

“Oh, well, boss, the company is yours, you have the final say!” John Suffolk said, pretending to be dissatisfied.

In fact, Li Zhiwen is very tolerant of these senior managers. There is no such thing as 996 in later generations. It’s just that these managers want to make achievements, so that their end-of-year dividends can be thicker. For this reason, Li Zhiwen did not go intervene.

“President John, please drink coffee!” Dora Carrington said.

“Okay, thank you, Miss Dora!” John Suffolk said.

And Dora Carrington made Li Zhiwen a cup of tea. After all, she understood Li Zhiwen’s hobbies.

“Thank you, Dora.” Li Zhiwen said casually.

Li Zhiwen continued: “John, let’s start, report on the current situation of the company!”

“Okay, boss!” John Suffolk opened the folder he was carrying.

“Boss, we currently have nine luxury brands in the Prada Group, mainly in the fields of clothing, cosmetics, bags, leather goods, and silk scarves.”

“The nine luxury brands are Prada, Bulgari, Armani, inditex, Valentino, Versace, Butterfly, Fendi and Ferragamo.”

“And due to a new round of acquisitions, the current boss’s share of Prada Group has reached 90%.”

Li Zhiwen nodded and expressed his understanding. As for why it was not a wholly-owned shareholding, it was because when the new Prada Group was formed, the original Prada Group’s founding family, Miuccia Prada and her husband Pagio Bertelli did not agree to the wholly-owned acquisition.

In addition, Li Zhiwen admires the talents of the two, so Li Zhiwen only acquired 60% of the shares, but with the expansion of the Prada Group, the shares of the two have been diluted a lot, so it has reached the current 90%.

“The next time the company wants to expand its operations, first ask the Miuccia Prada couple if they want to increase their capital. If they don’t, they can take out a loan. My shares will be controlled at 90%.” Li Zhiwen thought for a while and said.

Li Zhiwen thinks this way, it is not that Li Zhiwen does not want to acquire wholly, but Li Zhiwen wants to keep the Miuccia Prada couple, they are really talented, with the two of them, many of the Prada Group’s designs are very avant-garde.

So we can only use shares to tie the two together. If there are too few shares, it would be bad for the two to go out and rebuild the brand.

So Li Zhiwen hung the two with a small amount of shares, which made Miuccia Prada and his wife unable to make up their minds. When they wanted to make up their minds, the Prada Group suddenly grew.

“Okay, boss!” John Suffolk said.

“The company’s total revenue last year was $1.775 billion and its total profit was $535 million.”

“The top-selling brand is Prada at $312 million, followed by Bulgari at $270 million, followed by Armani at $250 million, Valentino’s revenue $170 million, Versace’s $150 million in revenue…”

“At present, the group has a total of 425 stores around the world, mainly in Europe, which is dominated by the country, the United Kingdom, the Federal Republic of Germany, and France, followed by the United States.”

“And due to the recovery of the economy, people’s demand for luxury goods has increased, and the estimated revenue next year is more than two billion US dollars.” John Suffolk said.

When Li Zhiwen heard John Suffolk’s words, he nodded, indicating that he understood.

There is no need to say more about this issue. Li Zhiwen understood it when he listened to the report of the Louis Vuitton Group.

“You have done a great job this year and deserve to be commended!” Li Zhiwen praised at the right time.

“It’s all as specified by the boss’s policy!” John Suffolk said.

“Haha, John!” Li Zhiwen pointed to John Suffolk and continued to ask, “How is the situation at Gucci?”

John Suffolk had previously told Li Zhiwen that Aldo Gucci’s son wanted to sell 17% of his shares to Prada Group in exchange for Prada Group’s acquisition of Gucci in revenge for Bordeaux Gucci.

However, Li Zhiwen did not agree to Paul Gucci’s conditions because he was unwilling to confront Gucci Group before, but asked John Suffolk to contact Paul Gucci, and asked Paul Gucci to help acquire the shares in the hands of Robert Gucci and George Gucci, in order to meet Lu Dolph Gucci reached the idea of ​​​​dividing the world equally.

John Suffolk said: “Boss, I met with Paul Gucci, but this man didn’t agree. Instead, he sold his 17% stake to Lucentica Group.”

“Lu Xuntika Group?” Li Zhiwen asked with a frown.

“Yes, Boss, Lucentica Group used to be a group engaged in the manufacture and sales of professional glasses. Its headquarters is in Milan. Its founder was Leonardo Del Vecchio. It was established in 1938 and its business covers Europe, North America, etc. The country has more than 850 stores.”

“After Paul Gucci was rejected by us, for some unknown reason, he colluded with the Luxuntika Group. The Luxuntika Group invested 30 million US dollars to acquire 17% of the shares in Paul Gucci, and then with the help of Paul Gucci Acquired a 16% stake in Robert Gucci.”

“That is to say, the Luxuntika Group holds 33% of Gucci’s equity at this time, and the remaining Gucci equity is in the hands of the Gucci family? Then the Luxuntika Group has no ability to take the Gucci Group into its arms. It seems that Luxunti The road to diversification of the card group still needs further efforts!” said Li Zhiwen.

“Boss, this is the case in theory, but the Luxuntika Group is attacking George Gucci and wants to obtain 17% of the equity in George Gucci, so that the Luxuntika Group will hold 50% of the Gucci Group’s equity, and then rely on Lu Xun With the financial resources of the Tika Group, you can wrestle with Rudolf Gucci.”

“After all, Rudolf Gucci only holds 50% of Gucci’s shares, and there is no other income at all. I heard that Rudolf Gucci’s health is not very good, and he may be terminally ill. Now it is his son Mauricio Gucci who controls the overall situation. But this Mauricio Gucci is very cowardly, and I am very worried that after Rudolf Gucci’s death, Mauricio Gucci will sell the shares to the Lucentica Group.”

“Because in that case, our Prada Group would have a great enemy, because although we see that our Prada Group has many brands, in fact, only Prada is on the table.”

“And if the Luxuntika Group acquires Gucci, it is equivalent to 70% of the revenue, so I think the boss, we still need to pay attention to the competition for the Gucci brand. Once Maurizio Gucci is exhausted, I suggest that we Prada The group immediately took action to acquire the Gucci shares in its hands, in order to share the Gucci brand equally with the Luxuntika Group.”

“Otherwise, the gap between our Prada group and the Louis Vuitton group will get bigger and bigger. I heard that the Louis Vuitton group just won L’Oreal not long ago.” John Suffolk said.

John Suffolk has always regarded the Louis Vuitton Group as a competitor, and now the Louis Vuitton Group has included L’Oreal in the system, and the Louis Vuitton Group has become twice the Prada Group, not counting the Helena Group. John Suffolk is unacceptable.

So this is why John Suffolk always wanted Li Zhiwen to bring Gucci under his command.

Of course, John Suffolk didn’t know that the Louis Vuitton Group was also Li Zhiwen’s company, otherwise there would be a real uproar.

And Li Zhiwen pays attention to the fact that the Prada Group is not as powerful as the Louis Vuitton Group because there are not as many luxury brands in Italy as in France, which is worth explaining.

And if Italy wants to develop, it must expand outward. Of course, this problem of Gucci must be solved.

Li Zhiwen thought for a while and then said, “John, help me make an appointment with Patria!”

“Patria?” John Suffolk asked in confusion when he heard Li Zhiwen’s words.

“It’s the wife of Mauricio Gucci!” Li Zhiwen said.

“Oh, okay, boss, I see!” John Suffolk agreed despite some doubts.

“In addition, you go meet George Gucci and try your best to prevent him from selling his shares to the Luxuntika Group.” Li Zhiwen said.

“Yes, boss!” John Suffolk said.

……

In Milan’s Café de Flore, Li Zhiwen met Mauricio Gucci’s wife Patria here.

At this time, Mauricio Gucci was already receiving business from Rudolf Gucci, so things were very busy.

And this Patria also became a rich wife because of her successful gambling luck. She wore gold and silver, and a mink fur coat. In short, she was very fashionable.

Li Zhiwen wanted to laugh when he saw Patria, who was dressed like a local tyrant, but did not laugh out loud.

“Ms. Gucci, please take a seat!” said Li Zhiwen.

Li Zhiwen did not address Patria by her real name, but by the name of Patria’s husband.

And because of Li Zhiwen’s name, Patria smiled.

“Mr. Carl, it’s nice to meet you!” Patria said.

“Ms. Gucci, I mainly wanted to talk to you about the Gucci Group when I saw you today!” Li Zhiwen said.

“Gucci Group? Oh, Mr. Carr, then you’re looking for the wrong person, you should go to my husband!” Patria said.

“No, Ms. Gucci, I think you are the most important person in the Gucci Group.” Li Zhiwen said.

“Oh, thank you, but what does Mr. Carr want to know? I’ll tell my husband!” Patria said.

“It looks like Ms. Gucci and Mr. Gucci have a very good relationship after marriage!” said Li Zhiwen.

“Of course, but what does this have to do with you, Mr. Carl?” Patria said.

“Of course not, but I think it has something to do with you, Ms. Gucci, because everyone in Italy knows why you married Mr. Gucci?” Li Zhiwen said.

“Mr. Carl, I don’t know what you’re talking about?” Patria’s expression darkened.

“Everyone knows that Ms. Gucci married Mauricio Gucci for money, but Ms. Gucci, do you really think that everything will be fine if you marry Mauricio Gucci?” Li Zhiwen said with a smile.

“What do you mean?” Patricia asked.

“Ms. Gucci, you might as well take a look at these photos!” Li Zhiwen smiled and handed the photos to Patria.

Here are some dating photos of Mauricio Gucci and a few women, not in Milan, of course, but in places like Rome and Venice.

These photos were all taken by Li Zhiwen before.

Because I knew that Mauricio Gucci and Patria would not last long, and in the end the Gucci brand would be handed over to Mauricio Gucci, so I naturally stared at Mauricio Gucci.

Looking at these photos, Patria’s hands kept shaking.

Patria always thought that she was accepted by Rudolf Gucci and everything was fine.

So during this period of time, I kept splurges and kept buying and buying.

And Mauricio Gucci is basically satisfied~www.mtlnovel.com~ Now it seems that Mauricio Gucci may be so ashamed.

But Patria also knew that she couldn’t make a fuss at this time, at least not here.

“Mr. Carl, you show me what’s the use of these, I know all of them, they’re my husband’s partners, and they’re just talking about business!” Patria said.

“Ms. Gucci, do you really think so? Then I may be wrong today, but do you know what the most important thing is to marry into a wealthy family?” Li Zhiwen asked with a smile.

“What?” Patria couldn’t hold back and asked.

“The most important thing in marrying into a wealthy family is not good-looking clothes, expensive bags, good-looking villas, etc.”

“Those are all things outside the body. If you think about it, the most important thing is actually money and group shares. Only when you have these things in your hands can you be invincible. Even if you are abandoned in the end, you will have a chance to continue to survive. It’s not that after being swept out of the house, there is nothing left.” Li Zhiwen said.

“Then what should I do?” Patria said.

“First of all, of course, it’s assumed that nothing happened. After all, it’s clear how to say such a thing.”

“The second is to hold some shares in the company as much as possible, and get some things while Mauricio Gucci is not divorced from you!” Li Zhiwen said.
