0405 The Distress of Aubert de Verand

Wu Qian is very confident in this acquisition, and he is bound to win it.

Deliberately sending money to islanders?

No, absolutely not.

Barbara didn't know what medicine was sold in Wu Qian's gourd, she felt that it was too aggrieved to do what Takashimaya wanted, but she was always just a representative, and she could only do what Wu Qian said.

She believes that Wu Qian is not the kind of guy who is stupid to go on the pole and give money to others, and he will definitely have his own intentions.

After Barbara and Wu Qian finished talking on the phone, they immediately continued to negotiate with Takashimaya, first symbolically repaying the counteroffer, and then agreeing to the other party's price.

The senior management of Takashimaya who was in charge of the case was extremely surprised, and the impossible price was actually sold, which was great news, and the shareholders would be very happy to know the news.

As long as the price is negotiated, the rest of the things won't take much time.

At the end of the negotiations, the final price was fixed at 585 million pounds, Wu Qian transferred the money in full, and Barbara faxed all the formalities to Wu Qian's hotel, some of which he needed to see and sign in person.

When everything was done, the shares of Cande Winery fell into the name of Wu Qian's British Investment Company.

During this period, there was also a small episode, after Wu Qian transferred the money to Takashimaya's account, the demon made a special call with Chase Bank.

It means that they noticed that Wu Qian had invested a lot of industries during this time, and they didn't know if they needed professionals to take care of it on their behalf.

Magic and Chase said that the people they provide are very capable, whether it is professionalism or loyalty, they can definitely rest assured, and all these services are paid for by the bank, and there is no need for Wu Qian to pay half a penny of salary.

Wu Qian didn't expect that the demon and Datong were so careful, and his concern for big customers was meticulous, but he still politely declined the other party's kindness.

The London property is taken care of by Philippe, he is very relieved, and at the same time he will take care of it himself, as for the Conti winery, he has his own arrangements.

In the village of Vaughan Romani in Burgundy, in the middle of the Prussian style of Avenue Lost in Time, there is a medieval church with a large manor house next to it, which is now the headquarters of Romanée Conti.

Who would have thought that such an idyllic countryside is home to the headquarters of the world-famous Château Romanée Conti, where even time seems to slow down.

In the past, there were many pilgrims who came to visit the village, and they could not enter Vaughan Romani without an appointment, but could only look at the land that produced precious wine from afar.

Now, in late September, the most important time of the year for the winery, not only Château Romanée Conti, but also many famous wineries in the Crest de Noe have announced the closure of their doors, and the entire village of Vaughan Romanée has not a single visitor.

At the same time that Takashimaya was selling his stake in Château Conti, in a rustic office at the headquarters of Château Conti, Aubert de Veran sat behind his desk in light gray overalls with mud on his cuffs.

If you are not a person who knows the Conti winery very well, who would have thought that such a unpretentious and unkempt old man would be Aubert de Veran, who is worth hundreds of millions of euros and owns half of the Romanée Conti winery.

The old man has been diligent all his life, and has always been dedicated to the winery and the land of Burgundy, and he has made a lot of money, but he has never enjoyed and slacked off a day, from the cultivation of grapes to the picking, and then the production of wine, he strictly controls every link.

In recent years, Aubert de Veran has been busy applying the Burgundy grape region to the United Nations for intangible cultural heritage.

When he woke up early in the morning, Aubert felt the sun shining on him and was in a beautiful mood, because this weather was perfect for the ripening of the grapes.

Just as Aubert was about to go to the vineyard to see how the grapes were ripe, he received news that a company had proposed to Takashimaya to buy a stake in Cande Winery.

When he first heard the news of the acquisition, Albert didn't pay much attention to it, and still walked towards the vineyard with a sturdy stride, with a happy smile on his face, and only the lovely grapes hanging from the vine in his eyes.

Acquisitions happen every year, and in the end, they basically end up with the initiator of the acquisition.

Unexpectedly, this time the situation was obviously different, the speed of things developed beyond the expectations of everyone at Kande Winery, just half of the morning, but the transaction had been completed, it was simply appalling!

If he didn't know the character of the people at Takashimaya Co., Ltd., Aubert would have wondered if this was a play directed and acted by the islanders, although he didn't know what the meaning of such a play was.

In the past ten years, he has repeatedly proposed to Takashimaya to buy back the shares, but Takashimaya does not know what the considerations are, and has always been reluctant to let him buy it.

Now that the shares of the winery have changed hands, Aubert is very worried, not knowing who will fall into the hands of that important equity and what kind of impact it will have on the winery.

"Whiten, have you found out about the company that you proposed to Takashimaya Co., Ltd.?"

Aubert asked a middle-aged man in a suit under him worriedly.

It was a good year, the climate was very stable, there was a lot of rain when it was hot, it was raining when it was raining, and the amount of rain was very good, and the quality of the grapes was very high.

But all this beauty could not dispel the uneasiness in Aubert's heart.

Whiten was a senior member of the winery, about forty years old, with a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, slightly chubby, and he did not seem to be in a good mood, and his face was gloomy.

"Mr. Wilan, it has been investigated that the acquirer is a British investment company......" Whiten said, rubbing his eyes and looking at the computer screen.

Obert's brows stretched slightly, sighed, and said: "Okay, it's better than letting the islanders hold shares, the part of the distribution channel controlled by Takashimaya over the years is simply terrible, and now it can finally be relieved!"

In Aubert de Veran's view, the British held better shares than the islanders.

Island people are mercenary and have no taste, do not respect the terroir and tradition, as long as there is money to make, they can have no bottom line, groveling in front of people, but secretly stabbing knives in the back, it is simply hateful!

When Aubert looks back on the 30-year journey, he admires himself for being able to get along with the people of the island country for so many years, which is not easy.

"No, no, Mr. Veran, wait. Whiten continued to flip through the materials and suddenly spoke.

"Although this 'Source of Happiness Investment Company' is a company registered in London, it can ...... But the legal person is a ...... A young man from the Celestial Empire!?Oh my God!"

Whiten let out a lament
