"I plan to form a luxury group, a large multi-brand group like LVMH!"

Wang Ye's eyes were blazing, and he said in an impassioned tone.

LVMH's name is naturally known to all of you here.

Evergrande Xu was stunned for a moment, and blurted out: "But...... Where else but LVMH has so many big names? ”

The rest of the people also nodded in agreement.

Everyone thought that Wang Ye was going to buy a ready-made group company to compete with LVMH, but there was no such company on the market.

"Haha, you didn't hear what I said, I mean to form one! Instead of acquiring a ready-made group company, I plan to buy those individual brand companies, and then form them together to form a group company. For example, Chanel, Coach, Burberry, Prada, Hugo Boss, etc., these brands do not belong to LVMH, but are separate brand companies, and they do not require much capital to acquire. Wang Ye explained.

Only then did everyone understand Wang Ye's words, and then they thought about it, yes, there are still many well-known big names that are independent companies, and the strength of a single company is not so strong.

If these brands are acquired and formed into a group company, then it will be able to compete with LVMH.

What's more, this company is helmed by Wang Ye, so do you still need to worry about revenue and profits?

None of the companies Wang Ye has managed has failed so far.

Without exception, they are all successful, the difference is that they are very successful or generally successful......

"How much money does the president need this time, just say it, we Baoneng will definitely participate!" Mr. Yao of Baoneng said briskly.

He knows that as long as it is an investment project organized by Wang Ye, where can there be such a thing as failure, and past examples have already proved this.

Last time Huya Technology Company project, his Baoneng failed to participate, and now seeing the success of Huya Technology, Mr. Yao has long been itchy.

Finally, Wang Ye has a new investment project, and this time he specially called him, how could he let go of this opportunity, how could he dare to let go of this opportunity......

Perhaps, this is another project as successful as Huya Technology, or even more successful than Huya Technology.

Ping An Lao Ma and China Merchants Qin, as well as Evergrande Xu, everyone has the same idea.

As long as Wang Ye wants to engage in any project, he must participate, and he would rather kill mistakes than let them go.

"This investment, the goal is more, the amount required is also relatively large, I personally contributed 20 billion US dollars, and I need at least 20 billion US dollars, the more the merrier!"

Although this amount is a bit staggering, these few people present are not people who have never seen money, and they are not moved.

Everyone was silent for a moment and thought about how much they would be better at.

Wang Ye continued: "First of all, the return on this investment may not be very high. At the very least, it can't be compared with the return on investment of Huya Technology, but there is one point, which is also incomparable with Huya Technology's investment. That is, after the establishment of this luxury group, it has the influence and right to speak!"

Those big brands, like Chanel and the like, you have to say that it makes money, and it does.

But when it comes to making money and making money, there are countless companies that can surpass it and throw it a few streets.

However, the fashion industry is like this, although the volume is not large, but the influence is wide, and the attention is also very high.

Every time, a brand like Chanel Prada changes its spokesperson, and I don't know how many media reporters are reporting.

Which celebrity, whether it is a real big-name spokesperson, or who is more compelling than the brand endorsed by whom, can make fans tear up the fierce battle.

However, do really big companies like IBM and Microsoft have spokespeople, and maybe there are any new big moves, will anyone pay attention?

This is the characteristic of the fashion industry, although the size of each company is not large, but the influence is amazing.

Wang Ye pointed out this point in particular, just to tell these people that this investment, don't think about making too much money.

If you just want to make money, then it is better not to participate in this investment, or to participate less.

This investment is about influence, company image, and the right to speak!

Mr. Ma and Mr. Qin are also smart people, and with a little bit of Wang Ye, everyone will understand.

Why Wang Ye took the lead in looking for a few of them this time, not only because these companies are rich, but also because these companies need a good image and attention.

Ping An is mainly an insurance company, so it can be said that a good image and higher attention are the lifeblood of the company.

Similarly, although Baoneng is engaged in financial operations, it is also insurance-based, which is somewhat similar to Ping An.

Investment, which is based on the banking industry, a healthy and good image is also the most desired by the company.

Evergrande, this is doing real estate, although it does not need influence and attention like those companies, but this thing is better than nothing.

There is another point, Wang Ye did not say, but everyone also understood it.

That is, in fact, luxury consumers, and their customer groups, also have a high degree of duplication.

Luxury consumers, without a doubt, are high-quality consumers, with high net worth and abundant cash in hand.

Such customers, not to mention bancassurance and real estate, in fact, every company wants it.

If they can become the majority shareholders of many luxury brands, it will also be of great benefit to the company's main business in the future.

Take Evergrande as an example, the real estate launched in the future can engage in the so-called "Chanel classic decoration style model room", "Prada black and white cold style model room" and other gimmicks.

Perhaps, there are loyal customers of these brands who have chosen Evergrande real estate because of this......

As for the linkage between banks and big luxury brands, it's even easier, and there are a lot of events launched at the moment. When you become a shareholder in the future, you can naturally launch more in-depth cooperation activities.

Therefore, these CEOs, although they said that the return on investment may not be very high, they are still very tempted.

There are so many potential benefits.

"I'll pay 10 billion dollars. Ping An Ma took the lead in saying.

Generous, the opening is 10 billion, I have to say, the insurance is really rich.

"Then I will also give 10 billion!" Mr. Qin of China Merchants was not to be outdone, and said decisively.

Baoneng Yao smiled bitterly, he was not as rich as the two big guys, so naturally he didn't dare to compare.

"I'll give 5 billion, that's the maximum amount I can come up with. ”

Evergrande President Xu also said that he could give 5 billion, he did real estate, and the cash flow was very abundant, but there were more places where he needed to use money, and he didn't dare to take out too much cash at a time.

Four people came out with 30 billion US dollars, Wang Ye felt quite satisfied, plus his own 20 billion, it was already 50 billion, which should be enough.

"Okay, then I'll set up an investment company, and everyone will allocate shares according to their capital investment. Wang Ye said briskly.

He didn't take advantage of everyone, what management shares, what resources accounted for shares, he didn't mention it at all, but he distributed shares according to capital investment, which was fair, just and open.

This time, he is not here to make money, but to establish himself in the fashion industry!

Just like the previous paragraph, there are many influential designers who, for the sake of profit, jump out and criticize the floating dream.

In the final analysis, don't you still feel that the brand is just a new brand, even if it is accused, you don't need to bear any consequences, because Wang Ye can't do anything about them.

If Wang Ye owned the world's largest luxury group, like LVMH, would they dare to do that?

……

For the use of large funds, of course, it must be equipped with a professional elite team, so Wang Ye asked LISA to transfer a group of professionals from the group, plus the team formed by SUSAN at Citibank.

People on both sides are working together to prepare for the pre-acquisition research.

This kind of acquisition is not something you can just come to the door with a cheque waving.

First of all, you need to investigate who the shareholders of the target company are, which shareholders are the easiest to win and which ones are more difficult to convince.

These preliminary work is cumbersome but necessary, and many seemingly easy acquisitions are actually prepared in advance by the acquirer before formal negotiations.

Only when you are well prepared and have all the information can you be able to handle the scale with ease and grasp the scale when it comes to formal negotiations.

In November, in addition to preparing funds for acquisitions, there is another thing worth mentioning, that is, the new rich list was issued.

On November 18, the 2013 Forbes Global Rich List was officially released.

Now, there is basically no need to look at the domestic rich list, Wang Ye is the first steadily, but in the world, it is difficult to say how many places he can rank in his net worth.

Before the rich list was issued, Wang Ye knew that he would still not be able to reach the top this year.

Obviously, the Rich List generally only counts the market capitalization of companies you've listed, or clearly documented assets.

As for the assets of a company like Huayou Group, which is high-quality but whose financial data is not disclosed, it is difficult for the other party to estimate how much it is worth, so it is not counted.

Then, Wang Ye's net worth can be counted, that is, the shares of Meigou.com, and the recent public share transfer transaction, that is, the $20 billion obtained from the transfer of Huya Technology's shares to Tencent.

If there is no share transfer this time, it is estimated that Wang Ye's ranking on the rich list this year will be a little ugly.

At present, Wang Ye's biggest asset is, of course, those shares of Meigou.com.

The current total share capital of Meigou is 1.2 billion shares, and the current stock price is about 120 US dollars, and the company's total market value is as high as 150 billion US dollars!

In Wang Ye's hands, he still holds the 300 million shares before the listing, and has not sold a single share, and the current market value of these shares alone is as high as 36 billion US dollars!

If you don't look at other assets, just count this part of the shares, Wang Ye is undoubtedly the richest man among the global Chinese!

Because Li Chaoren, the only one who can compete with him, has a net worth of only 31 billion US dollars this year.

Of course, this is related to the fact that he transferred part of his assets to his two sons in advance.

If you count the assets of the entire Xiangjiang Li family, you can still fight with Wang Ye.

Wang Ye's $36 billion stake, plus the $20 billion in cash he just got from selling Huya, is already as high as $56 billion.

However, that didn't make him to the top of this year's Forbes list of the world's richest people.

Top 10 of the 2013 Forbes Global Rich List

1 Carlos Slim Elu $73 billion

2 Bill Gates $67 billion

3 Amancio Ortega $57 billion

4 Wang Ye $56 billion

5 Warren Buffett $53.5 billion

6 Larry Ellison $43 billion

7 Charles Koch $34 billion

7 David Koch $34 billion

9 Lee Superman $31 billion

10 Lilian Bettencott $30 billion

This is the top 10 of this year's list of the world's richest people, and the entry threshold is 30 billion US dollars!

With a difference of one billion US dollars, Wang Ye failed to enter the top three and ranked fourth.

However, in the introduction to Wang Ye, Forbes magazine made a statement.

"Mr. Wang Ye's assets are very difficult to count, and most people feel that Meigou is its biggest asset, but in fact, according to the analysis of industry insiders, the largest piece of Mr. Wang Ye's assets may be Huayou Group, which has not yet been listed. After Huayou Group is listed, it is difficult to estimate how much its market value is. Because of this group, there are too many high-quality subsidiaries. Preferred Premium Company, which is a company that can be compared to ZARA and Uniqlo. THE TOP SHOP, WITH ITS EXCELLENT DESIGN AND REPUTATION, HAS LAUNCHED A SUCCESSFUL LUXURY BRAND THAT IS NO LESS VALUABLE THAN A COMPANY LIKE RALPH LAUREN. ……”

In short, it means that Wang Ye's ranking is underestimated, and the reason why it is undervalued is not that Fortune Magazine is not professional enough, but that there are too many unlisted companies under Wang Ye, and it is difficult to give an accurate valuation of this part of the assets now.

SEEING THIS RANKING, LISA AND SUSAN, WHO ARE INSIDERS, ARE UNHAPPY WITH HIM.

"These people on the list are too stupid, Huayou Group is so high-quality, not to mention other subsidiaries, isn't it worth 20 billion US dollars just counting the best products?" LISA is the person who knows the internal financial data of Huayou Group best.

Of course, she knows that if the branch of Huayou Group is spun off and listed separately, the market value will be too amazing.

If the best quality premium company is listed separately, it is likely that the market value will reach at least more than 50 billion US dollars!

Therefore, Wang Ye's ranking is indeed seriously underestimated, and he didn't even enter the top three, how can this make LISA convinced.

"Hehe, this is all a false name, will my wealth be reduced because of the low ranking? Or can it increase my wealth a little by putting me first? So, these things, after reading them, they will be over with pleasure, and they don't have to be taken seriously. Wang Ye said with a smile.

Although it was a false name and he didn't really take it seriously, Wang Ye still decided that he had to reach the top once before he retired.

If nothing else, live again, you can't even be the richest man in the world, wouldn't it be too cowardly.

As for the timing, next year should be quite appropriate......
