Chapter 203: Straight to the point

Maurizio Gucci, a second-generation member of the Gucci family.

According to the information obtained by Han Chudong, Gucci O. Gucci, the founder of the Gucci brand, is his father and is the third oldest in the family.

Returning to his hometown of Florence in 1921, Gucci opened a shop specializing in leather and harness, which became very popular as the business expanded.

For more than 30 years, Gucci's four sons joined the company, transforming the company from a solo business to a family business, and in 1953 the first overseas store opened on 58th Avenue in Manhattan, New York, and Gucci became an "international brand".

At this time, the scale is relatively large.

Not only is the infighting among Chinese family businesses serious, but also the European side is even more exaggerated.

In this family, a group of brothers infighting, sowing discord, lawsuits, exposing the old family, separating wives, and being imprisoned are even more exciting than the movie, and Han Chudong specially sent someone to investigate before coming to Europe.

It was precisely because he felt that there was an opportunity to fish in troubled waters that Han Chudong took the lead in trying to find a breakthrough from Gucci.

In fact, last night, Arecio already knew that Han Chudong was bluffing himself, and he didn't talk to Gucci about financing at all, but he didn't bring it up in person until after signing the contract.

Combined with various experiences, the performance of a company with chaotic management will most likely be greatly affected, and it may collapse one day.

For example, a few years ago, Gucci O's daughter publicly revealed her shortcomings, saying that the company was falsely propagating, and that she had no history of providing custom harness for the royal family at all, and that her father was just a cook who worked for others.

felt that the price was more appropriate, Arecio simply sold it directly, and he and Han Chudong were both happy.

As soon as he got 17.48 percent of the shares, Han Chudong was in a restaurant, sitting in front of Maurizio Gucci, the current head of Gucci, with Kiko Mochizuki and a translator.

The atmosphere of the restaurant is extremely elegant.

The floor is covered with a red carpet, and the tables are lined with candles, red wine, and food.

Not far away, a pianist was playing a happy song, and there were many couples and friends sitting nearby, and from time to time you could hear the sound of a dinner knife slashing across the plate.

Han Chudong was wearing a napkin, and the plate in front of him was filled with hot bull's eye meat, which could smell a faint lemon fragrance, and the meat was smooth and tender in the mouth, with a little blood.

After greeting Maurizio Gucci, Han Chudong said: "Listen to the introduction of the people from Arecio Capital Management, sir, your current position is quite dangerous, it is said that your brother Aldo is a very ambitious person, and in order to control the power of the company, he also sent your eighty-year-old father to prison. What I want to know is, how can I guarantee that my interests are not compromised by these ridiculous practices?"

Pretending to be stupid in front of Arecio yesterday, Han Chudong was shrewd and capable even in his gestures at this time.

The situation is already different.

He wants to let the other party know that he is a worthy partner to win over and that he is dangerous.

If you want to invest in Gucci as efficiently as Rainbow Beauty or Baofeng Electric, Han Chudong feels that you must have a tough leader.

He wanted that person to be himself.

Even if the other party is unwilling to give in, he must stop the current chaotic management situation, kick out unnecessary family members, and cooperate with him to make Gucci bigger, at least to the level of Chanel and Givenchy.

If the Gucci family is still allowed to dominate the situation, it will mean a certain degree of failure for Han Chudong, after all, the funds on his head can be invested in other fields, and less money will also mean heavy losses.

The interpreter tells the other party this sentence.

After Maurizio Gucci finished answering, Han Chudong heard the translator tell me: "As long as you cooperate with me and support me together with Casno, I have the confidence to stop all the chaos within the family, the combined shares of both of you are more than 40%, and I also have shares in my hands, and I can already dominate the discourse, and now the only uncertain factor is you." ”

Han Chudong smiled on his face and shook his head: "Although I just met you, sir, I can see that you are a very capable manager." ”

This was said in an ambiguous manner, and did not mean that he had to cooperate with Maurizio, and as soon as the translation was finished, he continued to say:

"I'm very bullish on Gucci's products, it's very distinctive, and if you're willing to accept my financing at a valuation of $70 million, raise about $30 million and get the corresponding shares. I promise to keep you in the CEO position and get a higher salary, kick your siblings out of the company, and work with me to take this company to the next level.

Italians are emotional, and the Godfather movie is my favorite, but they clearly don't trust you and want to get your current power. The interests of your family and your own interests are not the same, and I promise to increase your annual salary to more than $500,000 after becoming a major shareholder, provided that Gucci can get more money to grow in North America and Asia through my financing agreement. ”

This is the killer weapon that Han Chudong prepared for tonight.

According to what I know, Maurizio Gucci's current salary level is equivalent to about 100,000 US dollars, which is suddenly increased to five times, and his family may not be pleased, but for Maurizio himself, there are definitely many benefits.

Having said that, if the other party can't get benefits, why should Han Chudong be promoted to the position of major shareholder.

Like a nobody, he ate steak, listened to music, and when the waiter came to help pour the wine, he also stuffed the other party with five US dollars as a tip.

Maurizio Gucci wasn't in such a relaxed mood.

He had already sensed Han Chudong's ambitions, and he couldn't satisfy his appetite with a few seventeen percent of the shares, so he obviously came prepared and wanted to directly enter his family business.

According to the market value of 70 million US dollars, a one-time financing of 30 million US dollars, Han Chudong will get more than 50% of the right to speak, which also means that the Gucci family has become a second shareholder.

Today, the Gucci family's share capital is as high as 59 percent, scattered among the family members.

While worrying, I also feel that this is a good way to completely solve family conflicts, at least in the future, I don't have to worry about the pressure from my relatives, and at the same time, I can get more benefits.

Maurizio Gucci was distracted and pondered, Han Chudong didn't bother him, and after quickly eating the steak, he was not full, so he beckoned the waiter and asked the other party to serve another ......
