At this moment Hayden came out of the elevator and gestured far away with a serious expression.
Business matters, Song Ya temporarily sent Jon's mother away, "Harry." He beckoned to Harry to come over, "Help me stabilize her first."
"Ok."
Halle nodded cleverly and followed up to the bathroom. She was always caring.
"Boss, Pino and his son are here today." Hayden came over and whispered.
"Well, lead the way."
The Pinot family of PPR is Christie’s shareholder, and possibly the largest individual shareholder. Song Ya followed Hayden into the elevator of the Christie’s auction center.
"Uh..." Hayden hesitated for a while, then reminded him in the elevator: "Mr. Pino may have a personality similar to that of Bronfman."
This is to remind myself to be careful not to offend another super son brother. The Pino family is much more influential in France than the Bronfman family in North America.
Hayden has also improved...
And the ‘skills’ points are centered on his personal life, preferences and career, making it more and more convenient. "OK, rest assured." Song Ya patted him on the shoulder with satisfaction, and walked out of the elevator together.
PPR and LVMH fought hastily and fiercely in the French civil war surrounding the Italian brand Gucci. The two parties may not have expected this result in advance. Both companies may be convicted or even bankrupt. France, the Netherlands, Italy and other related countries The government was alarmed.
LVMH boss Arnault accused PPR of doing insider trading with Gucci’s management. This is likely to be true. LVMH’s own **** is not clean. Before secretly raising up to 34% of Gucci’s shares, it suddenly took off. But according to this On the side of the securities law, more than 5% of the securities law needs to be reported. LVMH does not. A large number of shares are obtained through cooperation with banks and the use of gambling agreements to allow banks to help drill regulatory loopholes to sweep goods from the secondary market.
"Hello, APLUS."
"Hello."
Song Ya entered the office and shook hands with Pino and his son respectively. This time they learned well and didn't do extra actions at all to say extra words, for fear that no matter how wrong they were, they would unreasonably stimulate a super rich three generations.
Similar to the Bronfman family, the first generation of Pinault was a French timber merchant. Old Pinault expanded it into a fashion luxury giant, while Pinault was ambitiously engaged in chain retail, mail order, and the Internet industry. A few years younger than the little Bronfman, the same personable, but it feels sharper and more aggressive.
This is a secret meeting in private. The purpose of the father and son Pino is very simple, to find money.
"We need partners to prepare for the wholly-owned acquisition of Gucci. Are you interested in participating in APLUS?" Pinot Noir is currently the CEO of FNAC, a chain retailer under PPR.
"I don't have the capital to enter this game..." Song Ya smiled and turned away.
"This is also good for your business. The opportunity is rare." Pino began to lobby: "I remember that your Grey Goose vodka and French tricolor vodka failed in the competition in the U.S. market. The reason is the failure of style. Are you right? If you have our help, that situation can't happen. We are PPR and own Paris Spring, YSL..."
"Yves Saint Laurent?" Song Ya was taken aback. YSL just made a splash at the World Cup in France last year, and its brand awareness has expanded to the world.
"Yes, this year we also won YSL, the next one is Gucci, we are determined to win."
Even the accent is very similar to the little Bronfman, but it seems that little Pino talks more realistically.
Old Pino smiled and watched the two talk about business, and did not speak most of the time, occasionally interjecting a sentence or two.
"What about people?"
Halle has stabilized Charis. Two American actresses entered the auction hall under the hospitality of Christie’s staff. One gave a bidding card with numbers. Today there is only a small-scale auction, and there are no jewels and celebrities in the hall. In the crowded scene, most of the bidders are men, and the clothes are only medium to upper level. A small number of bidders are even called sloppy, with messy hair, and they come in jackets.
"Who pays if he isn't there?"
The audience turned around and paid attention to the two of them. Hallie couldn't see Song Ya and Hayden, took a sign and found a back seat and sat down and began to mutter...
Charis was in a trance and didn't pick up her mind. She felt like a prisoner waiting for trial. How did she make it like this? She blames herself.
Waiting on the left and right without waiting for the news from APLUS or even Hayden, Hallie next to him started to raise the placard frequently.
Under the recommendation, [app] is really good, it is worth installing, after all, you can cache books and read them offline!
"Fifteen thousand euros, is there a price increase of fifteen thousand euros? Fifteen thousand euros at a time!"
"Twice, three times, well congratulations to Ms. Halle Berry!"
The audience looked back at the two again, applauded and whispered, but they were all considered demeanor.
"How much did APLUS pay you for the sequel of Blade Warrior?" Charis asked.
"Oh, how much... the price of friendship, or add two parts together." Hallie pouted, sighing hypocritically, not wanting to answer the specific number, twelve million dollars plus a small amount, the two parts can be compressed together. Schedule, keep a low profile, and say it for fear of irritating the other party.
There is also a huge profit from the stocks pointed by APLUS, she is definitely one of the hidden rich women in Hollywood now.
"By the way, what are you doing here?" Charis asked.
"Oh, he's here to visit Mr. Pinault." Halle replied.
"Who?"
"It's the boss here, and Printemps department store."
"This? Christie's?"
"Yeah." Hallie took another lot while she was talking, and what she liked was nothing more than jewellery.
"Is there any trust in this kind of place?" Chalice's fat attendant reminded.
"Yes?" Halle blinked and looked at the hall entrance again.
"In this way, how about our PPR selling you some shares in a timber company?"
Both Pino and his son knew that Song Ya had a large amount of cash in his hands, and they took turns to fight for it and refused to let it go. "That was the company we started, and the rate of return on capital was very stable."
Timber... You can't figure it out. You shouldn't think of me as a nouveau riche from the United States. Song Ya shook his head and deliberately bargained, "I'm more interested in this place, Christie's."
Little Pino couldn't help laughing when he heard this, "It's different here. Christie's belongs to the family and has nothing to do with PPR Group." Old Pino explained.
"Oh, sorry, then...what about the LaRedoute website?"
The father and son shook their heads at the same time. Internet concept stocks are popular all over the world. Selling shares in Le Dute website is equivalent to giving money to others.
The other Song Ya is not interested, and it is not himself who is short of money.
Three billion won 42% of Gucci, but the remaining 58% could not be at this price. If PPR had to acquire Gucci in its entirety, how could it win the percentage in LVMH's hands? Twenty is a very big problem. LVMH can also initiate anti-malicious takeover clauses, because Gucci’s management has used this trick against them before.
The French Civil War went from an encounter to a trench war. It is impossible for the Pino and his sons to pin their hopes on a star of American hybrids.
The atmosphere of the conversation fell into a swamp, and the two fathers and sons mentioned some PPR companies that Song Ya had never heard of. How about feeling burdened? Naturally, we can't agree.
Song Ya didn't want to invest money in Europe where the political-business relationship is not strong, unless it is an established auction company with great hidden influence like Christie's, or an Internet concept stock whose stock price continues to skyrocket.
