Chapter 343: Falling into the Well
Not long after Tang Jia reported to Gu Kun, the news of Iprasin's death spread to most of the fellow VIPs on this viewing platform.
"Iprasin is dead!, I heard that Dibata would still be finished, but I was going to finish it hastily. β
"Anyway, it's the second highest in the world. Gu Kun's ruthless hand is estimated to interrupt the progress of human construction science and technology for fifty years.
is so vicious, who will spend money to grab the world's tallest building in the future, it is really to make money, and do not give latecomers a little hope of rubbing traffic. It is estimated that even Ribatta, the second highest in the world, no one will grab it anymore, and this track has been ended. β
Everyone's reaction was inevitably a slight shock, especially those Middle Easterners and Monaco, who had a cold neck, a throbbing of sadness, and whispered sighs there.
The towering Lanfang Pagoda seemed to be covered with a layer of blood in an instant.
The world's No. 1 is all killed.
Gu Kun is very satisfied with this effect, he believes that if the companies in the tourism and luxury shopping industries under his command are all listed companies, then just with the death of iprazine, the stock prices of those companies under his command will skyrocket tomorrow and digest this good news.
This industry is so cruel, because the competition is the position, the card position is successful, let the chaser die, even if you don't do anything yourself, as long as the international ranking becomes clearer, you will increase in value.
There is no absolute use value in the luxury industry, and they are compared to a comprehensive ranking of international popularity. The degree of hypocrisy and despicability of this industry can be seen. Fortunately, Gu Kun also made up his mind to retire in his 40s, and he didn't plan to die in this industry for the rest of his life-
He ran a luxury business just to fill the 20-year window period when the Chinese lacked national self-confidence and self-esteem and still admired foreign countries. When the pride of Chinese culture bursts in the future, women will no longer buy French luxury goods, Gu Kun's historical mission will be completed, and the later era will not belong to him. His historical mission is to make sure that the Chinese will not be too much cheated by the French, Italians, and Oceanic people during this transitional period when the Chinese are not confident enough, or if they have to be pitted, please let him Gu Kun come to the pit.
Unfortunately, most of Gu Kun's tourism and luxury companies are not listed, and this assumption can only be fulfilled in an extremely limited way.
For example, Gucci, a luxury brand under Gu Kun's name, is a listed company, and Gucci's market value suddenly jumped by 25% the day after Ibrasin's death, directly bringing Gu Kun a market value increase of more than $2 billion.
The layman looked at this logic and almost didn't react. It took a long time for analysts to understand: because of the death of iprapine, the world is more convinced that Gu Kun can do "I say which luxury goods for men are the most high-end, which is the most high-end, and those who want to compete with me for the right to set standards, I say kill him at full price."
......
The inauguration ceremony of the Lanfang Pagoda ended in the sound of staggered and beautiful music.
Because his wife Zhu Youran also experienced tedious ceremonial work that day, and she was very tired when she ascended the throne, Gu Kun did not arrange any more trips in the afternoon, and the family just had a good rest.
The next day, Gu Kun unsurprisingly waited for a visitor, it was Mr. Mahathir Mohamad, who had been vaccinated with him before and said that he might come.
"It's a pleasure to see you again, it's been years, Mr. Mahathir. β
As soon as the two sides met, Gu Kun acted as if he was fine, as if he didn't know that Mahathir was a big investor behind Ibrahim a few years ago. It seems that as soon as Iplasin died, the grievances passed, and the two sides laughed and said that nothing had happened.
This kind of posture made Mahathir a little embarrassed, secretly thinking that Gu Kun is really thick-skinned, and his skill in talking about people and talking about ghosts is extraordinary.
"Mr. Gu is really refreshing, no wonder it can be a big thing, I have to say, in terms of business talents, we are not as good as you Chinese. By the way, I would like to tell you that when Ibrasin invested in the travel network and some other projects, it was indeed his own initiative, misappropriating the funds I invested, or he may use his own own funds, anyway, there is not much money, we Abu Dhabi consortium, we can't go against you Lanfang people in the tourism industry. Mahathir happily admitted.
He didn't give in, he just didn't want to be used as a gun by a dead man anymore, and this was an occasion to chat behind closed doors in private, and there was no shame in admitting it.
If you let him be soft in the open media, then Mahathir will definitely refuse, and he is not afraid of Gu Kun. The oil assets of the Abu Dhabi consortium are still worth more than $300 billion at the moment, and they are all real net assets, who is afraid of whom?
Therefore, the chaebol of this kind of top big conglomerate, what is said behind closed doors and what is said in public, are completely two sets of discipline logic. Behind closed doors, you can be shameless for the sake of easing the diplomatic posture, but you can't make it public.
Gu Kun waved his hand very heartily: "These don't need to be explained, I have long known that with the power of your Abu Dhabi consortium, you can't look down on the small profits of those tourism Internet companies at all." Moreover, the development of high-end tourism is not your country's national policy, at best it is only the urban policy of Diba, a city-state that has almost dug up oil.
You are just in the spirit of friendship, and you don't look down on Diba's poor neighbor who is about to run out of oil, so it is already very righteous to pull them along. Now, taking advantage of the death of Iprasin, I think you have done your best to the Diba chieftains, and you can borrow the slope to get off the donkey. One of their chief's concubines has lost at least a billion dollars of your investment, and their chief still has the face to continue to ask you if you want to invest? Is there still an excuse and credibility to invest?
So, I still say that I have always been very friendly to my colleagues in the oil industry who concentrate on digging for oil. After Dibba is done with the nail that affects our friendly factor, we can cooperate from more business angles, and you don't need to produce operational talents, and you don't need to audit your accounts, I guarantee that you will have a net return every year, and you can withdraw at any time.
This kind of opportunity, I have never opened a mouth, I have never contacted a big Saudi dog family, and I am not short of money, and I can play the current global luxury world with my own principal. You should not doubt that my current subsidiaries, taken together, will be the third largest luxury group in the world, surpassing FranΓ§ois Pinault's Kering and behind Bernard's LVMH and John Rupert's Richemont. As long as you cooperate with me, even if you divide it a little, it will be a net profit lying down. β
Seeing that Gu Kun was so good at talking, Mahathir was also a little surprised.
This is what it means to take out high-quality assets and let you invest in dividends? How can there be such a good thing?
Isn't it necessary to go public and sell stocks to take out non-performing assets and businesses that have no way to make money?
The normal business model is a very profitable business, why go public? Does Lao Gan Ma hot sauce need to be listed? Does Huawei need to be listed?
What's more, Gu Kun is not the kind of guy who "lacks funds when expanding his business".
He can't spend all his own funds.
Since they were talking behind closed doors, everyone could be more direct, and since Mahathir was uneasy, he said bluntly: "I don't know why they found me? Just because I used to fund Ibrahim? If it is more money, the Saudis have more money than me, but they don't care at all, they don't care about any other industry, they just need oil." β
Mahathir is still right in saying that the Saudis are true Buddhists, or they really have no ambitions because of the curse of resources.
Otherwise, if the money also enters the luxury shopping industry and the high-end tourism industry, then the difficulty of this forced business that pretends to be the world's first will really rise many times more.
"You don't understand? Gu Kun also didn't play dumb riddles with the other party, "I think, if Ipraxin is dead, you can still secretly pour dirty water on the Diba people, for example, let your subordinates write more doxxing and disclose more gossip." I think that the people who eat melons in this world will like to see the hypocrisy and weakness of the rich and rich after their shiny surfaces are peeled off.
And that's something that Saudi Aramco can't do, so I'm not going to give them a ride on me, they don't have the value to use it. And you, even if you disclose, there is no need to disclose it in your own name, so that it will not damage the prestige and reputation of your consortium. β
"So this is the scheme......," Mahathir thought about it, and felt that there was nothing wrong with it, and his thinking was very reasonable, "So, if we do this, what are the specific benefits? Or, what kind of business are you willing to take out and let us take a stake? You know, if the concept of the Diba people's local tyrant city is finished, we will have at least tens of billions of dollars of surplus funds in the future and we don't know what to buy."
It may only be like Saudi Aramco, stupidly buying Oceania government bonds as protection money. I hope that the scale of the investment project you have taken out will be large enough to absorb enough of our funds - it is best to invest all the follow-up investment that we originally expected and that the Diba people need after their success, or at least absorb a large part of it. β
Gu Kun smiled coldly: "It is impossible to be so large-scale, because it is impossible for us to reinvest as much as we rebuild a local tyrant tourist city, but I can still absorb tens of billions of dollars of investment."
I can come up with a list of French and Italian luxury brands that I will soon expand, as well as independent designer brands that I will soon run and become popular myself, as well as a few oriental-inspired luxury brands. The money of your Abu Dhabi consortium can be invested in these brands. I make sure that we at Lanfang Culture Group treat these luxury goods equally.
Of course, at present, I can't let you take a stake in my existing luxury brands. Moreover, the so-called equal treatment is conditional, that is, you must always stand on my side in the war of public opinion. Moreover, I hope that the royal families of your Middle Eastern countries can move closer to me in the future when they are chasing top luxury brands. I believe that you will still have a fighting power when you fight against the French and Italians. β

PS: The above is already 3,000 words, a little bit. There should be a new book this month, and it is still being prepared, but the clue is still unclear. There is no guarantee that this book will be updated every day, because there may not be so many things written, the plot has accelerated, and it is not good to suddenly slow down the water every day. I hope you understand, anyway, the main story of my book is always complete.
