Chapter 248: It's a game of hatred

If you want to know, you can find out, I'm not interested. For me, Gucci is a chicken rib business that I will only look at twice when I send it to the door for nothing, and since the guy from Soray wants to negotiate the conditions, I am too lazy to pay for it, so I don't send it. ”

In the face of Arnott's instigation, Pino will not go on the road, he has always acted very lightly, with a face of "I am fortunate to have it, but I have lost my life" indifferent fame and fortune.

Nonsense, I haven't won the title of "the number one white knight against Arnott", what's the point of choking with Arnott in private?

The character design is performed for the public, not to offend people for the sake of offending people, if the public can't see the occasion, then don't offend.

is like when a certain Dong directed and acted in the milk tea incident in later generations, he laughed at the media and said, "There is absolutely no such thing, it must be Ma Feng who wants to yin me."

This was only said to the media when he was in the media, and he also knew that if he said it, he would definitely offend Ma Feng more or less. It's just that Ma Feng doesn't care about the little people, he just thinks he was bitten by a mosquito.

(Note: When the milk tea time first broke out, Moudong was indeed very small, and he was indeed just a mosquito compared to Ma Feng's strength at that time.) Later, because the character has been acting for a long time, because "the enemy of the enemy is a friend", he got a lot of resources for people who want to be a horse, and when he grows up, of course, he is not a mosquito. )

But no matter whether people care about mosquitoes or not, if mosquitoes don't have media revenue, they won't offend people in vain.

The same is true of Pinault today. If you can carry the flag, then it doesn't matter if you are scared of Arnott, since you can't carry the flag, you can be indifferent, even if you admit it in front of Arnott, it doesn't matter.

There is no benefit, no hatred, this natural principle.

Arnault also knew what Pino was thinking, they were all old foxes, and they didn't bother to care about it, so they went to Sorey alone for a drink, and talked to see what details Sorey got from Gu Kun-

Business to this extent, the face is free to retract, and no one is not suitable for talking and laughing with the enemy. Even if the two sides fought fiercely for a year and a half before, it was still light and light at this kind of thank-you banquet, even if the enemy who killed his father stood in front of him, he could treat each other with a smile and courtesy.

Pino was holding a wine glass next to him, secretly observing Arnot's movements, and at the same time, he found John Rupert, the owner of the Richemont Group, who was not far away.

"Hey John, how are you feeling tonight?" said Pinopi with a non-smirk.

"Looks like you've been put on the move. I don't care, we Richemont focus on the men's luxury market, you fight yours. Rupert is not an easy master to be used as a gunman.

Who made their brother one of the top three in the world in the luxury industry in later generations, this kind of fighting method is bloodless.

Pinault said with green tea: "Gucci is also a male and female luxury brand, doesn't it coincide with your positioning?

In the future, Gu Kun will be your trouble, not mine, anyway, I don't want to compete with him for the title of 'the person who carries the banner of resisting Arnott'." ”

This remark is very disgusting, Rupert clearly knows that Pino is sowing discord, but he also has to admit that what Pino said has a point.

Gu Kun's wolf ambition, this time he swallowed so much in one bite, today he has the ambition of Capino's position, and tomorrow he may want to think of Carroupert's position.

It seems that the three French should really share the same hatred and knock on the yellow people who want to enter the card position.

"Thanks for the reminder, I'll pay attention. John Rupert thanked his colleagues for the reminder without any emotional turmoil.

On one side they were talking, and on the other side Arnault had already caught Gucci CEO Henri de Sault.

Arnault immediately began to talk in a high-profile manner, holding champagne as he spoke, unwittingly leading people to Rupert and Pino's side, apparently hoping that the content of the conversation between the two sides would be "inadvertently heard" by a third party, a fourth party.

Rupert and Pinault knew it, and they still pricked up their ears and cared.

I only heard Arnault tease without hatred: "Sorey, you really opened my eyes. To tell you the truth, although I have tried to 'hostile takeover' Gucci, this malice is only malice in legal terms, and I have no prejudice against you, or anyone at the top of Gucci. ”

"Of course, I know this, everyone is in business, so I invite you today. Your encouragement to Gucci is also a force for Gucci's progress. De Soré spoke very loudly.

"Hostile takeover" is just a legal term.

Anyone who does not cooperate with the management before the acquisition and directly throws money is called a hostile takeover.

Arnold nodded and continued: "The reason why I didn't negotiate with you is just because I want Gucci to make drastic reforms and eliminate some non-performing assets after it is in my hands. But now it doesn't matter what I say, I can be regarded as a major shareholder who held 30% of the shares and almost 40% of the shares.

You must issue additional shares now, so that I am diluted to less than 20% - how about it, let's talk about a condition, I will suffer a little loss, give a little discount, and you can help me subscribe for these shares back. Otherwise, I can only go to the circulation market to smash and sell, and I may have to spend a little more tricks, and it may not be good for your goodwill. ”

The starting point of this topic is very nice and gentlemanly.

Arnault seemed to be completely forward-looking, and every suggestion was constructive, without the slightest personal hatred.

He had acquired so many Gucci shares in order to have the opportunity to take a controlling stake. Since we are now in the soup and have left some shares there to be a minority shareholder, what is the point? In particular, if a small shareholder who fails to seize power continues to stay there, he will only be stumped by the major shareholders who have a grudge against him, and he may not be able to share the dividends for 20 years.

"Let the enemy who admits gambling and surrender to defeat exit the market with some discounts and dignity", this is also a gentleman's practice in the luxury industry, which is beneficial to both parties, so as not to break the net and disclose the scandal.

If de Soré doesn't take up the subject, he's at fault.

De Soré naturally chose to respond positively: "Yes, but your premium part is that you yourself have looked up and looked away." In this way, I will find a financier, give an extra 2 billion euros, and take down the share you want to throw away, and you will lose hundreds of millions, which is merciful enough. ”

"Okay, 2 billion is 2 billion, and I admit the loss. "Arnault has to show his generosity in full view, anyway, a verbal word has no legal effect.

Moreover, if you are soft, you will just squeeze each other elsewhere.

So Arnault immediately followed up with a question, so that the other party couldn't refuse to answer: "Henry, I've made such a big concession, it's not too much to ask you about something, isn't it?" Actually, it's okay for you to refuse me, but I heard that you contacted Pino in the beginning to find the 'White Knight', why did you choose Gu Kun in the end? What trick did Gu Kun use?

I'm not questioning your decision-making, I'm just curious why you left our French circle and went to find a yellow man - it's not my race, I'm just wondering why you would give up your cultural superiority as a Frenchman. Could it be that Gu Kun specially gave targeted conditions that you can't refuse?"

The political correctness of the French is also more important, and they must pay attention to their daily speech, and the notoriety of falling into racial attention is still quite fatal to luxury merchants.

That's why Arnault's wording is so careful, emphasizing that it is a matter of "cultural superiority".

This word squeezed de Soray into a corner, and also provoked the subconscious confrontation of almost all his peers in the field.

If you don't pick a group of potential partners of the French, you have to find a yellow race, isn't that a legal traitor!

What? You say Gucci is an Italian brand? So what? All the top luxury giants in the world, no matter where the brand was founded, are almost all French or French in terms of blood!

And if Soray admits that "Gu Kun gave him targeted and extremely superior poaching conditions", it can also make Pino and Rupert more wary of Gu Kun from now on, and further recognize Gu Kun's white-eyed wolf nature of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger.

It seems that no matter how you answer, it is quite terrible.

Fortunately, Soray and Gu Kun had already rehearsed.

What they are pursuing is to transfer the business and still maintain the harmless appearance of humans and animals, so that the other three families will not join forces to resist him.

So Sorey's answer was very open: "What? I don't understand what you mean, the reason why I found Gu Kun was that I went to find it myself, and I didn't ask him to prescribe other conditions that were harsher than Mr. Pino's."

What were the conditions when I showed Pino, and what were the conditions when I showed Gu Kun. But Gu Kun obviously has more resources, and the bonus to Gucci's brand growth is also stronger, so I chose him, and the offer and additional conditions are the same. ”

This answer caught Arnault a little off guard, and even more embarrassed Pinault, who was standing up his ears in the distance.

Solei's words are tantamount to completely reversing the pot of decision-making: it's not that Gu Kun wants to dig up Pino's corner, nor does Gu Kun want Capino to set up his position, it's him Soray who begged to find Gu Kun.

Even if Soray said so, Pino would still hate Gu Kun, but John Rupert would not be able to say - if Rupert was brought back from the state of "sad with Pino's rabbit and dead fox", then Gu Kun would have won a major diplomatic victory, and he could even have one less strong enemy and delay for a few more years.

"This is impossible! If it is in business, how can Gu Kun's resources be stronger than Kering's? Although Kering is not as good as us, it is also extremely profound, and you want to say that the same conditions are considered fairly, is it a bit too much?" Of course, Arnault refused to give up, and he also hoped that the world's two, three, and four would continue to do their best to eat each other.

Everyone is helping the other three families to hate each other.

Soray Zhizhu smiled at the ground: "How is it impossible? Mr. Arnott, I can only say that you are not well-informed, we Gucci have conducted detailed research before making a decision-do you know how much the performance of Giorgio Armani of Gu Kun Holdings in the third quarter of this year has increased compared with the same period last year and the quarter-on-quarter of the second quarter of this year? Do you know how much it has risen in the fourth quarter?

Do you know how much we can reduce the cost of setting up counters in the most high-end shopping malls in the Asian market in the future after accepting Gu Kun's control? If you know these figures, you won't be surprised by my decision-making, I am purely in business. ”

It's a game of hate, and no one wants to OT
