Chapter 330: Brother-in-law

"Mr. Guo?"
"Mr. Fortu wouldn't have changed his mind so quickly, would he?"
"Of course not. The cooperation between Vidiwang and Mr. Guo is not up to me alone. The follow-up depends on the decision of the board of directors. β
"Then why are you calling me?"
"Mr. Guo, in addition to business cooperation, I think we have a lot to talk about. β
"Yes. For example?"
"Like art. I know that Mr. Guo likes to collect, and tomorrow night there will be a charity auction at 'Longe Castle', in which there are many fine oil paintings and artworks from China, if Mr. Guo is interested, I can accompany you!"
"Mr. Fortu, I am indeed very interested in art collecting, and I would like to promise you. But I'm really sorry, I'm going to fly back to the United States tomorrow, so I can't participate. β
"Back to the United States? Didn't Mr. Guo just come from the United States?"
"Yes, I came to France mainly to work with Vivendi. However, since there is no hope of cooperation now, there is no need for me to stay any longer. Also, the matrix and Time Warner have some collaborations to talk about, and I have to be there in person. Guo Shouyun replied.
"Time Warner? Mr. Guo is also interested in them?"
"Of course. As we all know, because of AOL's relationship, they are now experiencing some difficulties and are willing to sell some of their assets to tide over it. It just so happens that I'm interested in these assets under their umbrella, and the two sides are talking. β¦ I'm sorry, Mr. Fortu, but I've got a call from here, so let's talk about it first. When you go to the United States, I will personally entertain you. β
"Okay, in that case, then I won't bother Mr. Guo much!" Jean-RenΓ© Fortu's tone was visibly more imperceptible nervous.
"Goodbye!"
"Goodbye!"
Guo Shouyun hung up the phone.
"Boss, are you really going to go back to the United States tomorrow?"
"I've just arrived in France, and the negotiations with Vidiwang have just begun, so how can I go back tomorrow. β
"Then you just... Is it putting pressure on Vivendi?" Rebecca guessed.
"Hmm... I still have a lot of things to do this time, and I don't have time to fight with the people of Vivendi. Just put some pressure on them, so that everyone can have an early showdown. The sooner the negotiations with Vivendi are concluded, the better it will be for us. β
Rebecca Mark nodded, "What if there is no news of Vivendi by noon tomorrow?"
"No, I've already set up the framework for negotiations with Time Warner, and I'll leave the rest to Buddy. I'll go to England when it's over, and if the conditions in Vivendi still haven't changed, I'll fly straight from there to India!"
"What about me?
"You stay in France for a few more days, and if you can't wait for Vivendi's reply, go to England to join me at once, and we'll go to India together. β¦ There, you're more familiar with it than I am!"
Originally, Rebecca Mark's market in India was beaten down by Rebecca Mark, and compared to him who went for the first time in his life, Rebecca was naturally more familiar with him, and there was no reason not to bring her.
"Got it!"
Back at the hotel, it was already noon, and after lunch, the group was busy with their own work. Guo Shouyun guarded the computer to approve the emails sent by his various companies. Time flies by in a hurry.
After sending out the last email about YouTube's website design, Guo Shouyun pinched his eyebrows, stood up and stretched.
Looking at the lights in the room and the already dark sky outside, "Matthew, what time is it?"
"It's seven o'clock in the evening in 20 minutes, boss!"
"It's so late. Let's go, let's eat, I'm a little hungry!"
Matthew nodded, and quickly took the coat hanging on the hanger.
Although the three-star hotel also provides dinner, the taste is really difficult to meet Guo Shouyun's requirements. Picky about food, he wants to try an authentic and authentic French meal. However, when I was about to go out, I encountered a little situation, or an accident.
"Bruce, why are you here?"
"Al?"
Seeing his brother-in-law who was full of surprise and strode towards him, Guo Shouyun also showed a look of surprise on his face.
"Is it really you? I didn't dare to recognize it when I only looked at the back before. However, why did you, a billionaire with a net worth of tens of billions, come here if you don't live in the presidential suite of a five-star hotel?"
Al Bewen strode forward and said happily after giving Guo Shouyun a warm hug.
"I came out on behalf of the company this time, not myself, so I naturally have to abide by some of the company's rules and regulations. But you, weren't you in Greece to accompany Olivia on the last call, why did you suddenly come to France?"
"It's a bit of a conflict, come to France to relax, and check out a few young players by the way! By the way, have you had dinner?"
"Nope. What, you're in for a treat?"
"If you invite a treat, you will have a treat, and besides, I can't afford to invite it. Let's go, I'll take you somewhere where there is authentic French cuisine. β
"Okay!"
The two went out together, Al Bewen drove, and Guo Shouyun sat in the co-pilot.
"By the way, I forgot to ask you, how did you come to France?"
"Does Vivendi understand?"
"Of course, lately newspapers all over Europe have been reporting on this big company, which has lost 23.3 billion euros!
"No, I only need part of it. β
Al Bewen nodded, "Forget it, don't ask." Your giant mergers and acquisitions that cost more than ten or two billion yuan at every turn make me dizzy. β
Guo Shouyun smiled, "How is your Bewen Sports Company doing?"
"Hehe, just sent Kolo Toure to Arsenal two weeks ago for a transfer fee of Β£12 million!"
"It seems that you have a successful career now. β
"By the way, Bruce, do you have any good seedlings to recommend a few more?" asked Al Bevan, his eyes lit up.
In the past few years, the Toure brothers, Frank Ribery, Luca Toney, Diego Milito, Marcos Senna, Didier Drogba, Ruudey Steroy, and Miroslav Klose, recommended by Guo Shouyun, have all played in the main European leagues. With these football talents in the background, the fledgling Al Bewen has become a powerful rookie among European football agents. His Bevan Sports Company has also been rated as the most promising company in the same industry by the European mainstream media many times. Therefore, he was skeptical of Guo Shouyun's recommendation at the beginning, but now he is completely worshiped under the other party's magic wand.
"I've been getting busier and busier in the last few years, and I don't have the time or heart to follow the news in the sports world, so I can't help you. Besides, Al, you are now the CEO of Bevan Sports, and you have to solve a lot of things yourself. Relying too much on others, you and your company will never grow. Guo Shouyun shook his head and said solemnly.
"Looks like you won't get anything out of it!"
Looking at his lost appearance, Guo Shouyun hesitated in his heart, but after all, he still cared about Molly's feelings.
"Josep Guardiola!"
"That Pep Guardiola in Brescia?"
Guo Shouyun nodded.
"Are you kidding me? Although he used to be brilliant, he is now a thirty-two-year-old old fellow, who wants him except for a second-rate team?"
"I didn't ask you to sign him as a player, but as a coach!"
"Coaching contract?"
"Yes, having a good manager is a big benefit to the development of your players. β
"Like Mourinho?" said Al Bevan thoughtfully.
"Looks like you're not stupid!"
"You still have to say, but does Pep Guardiola really have the talent to be a good manager?"
"If you don't believe me, I didn't say it. β
"Don't, I'm sure it's not okay? When the French side is done, I'll go to Spain immediately!" As he spoke, the car turned around the corner, and then a red house appeared in front of Guo Shouyun.
Looking at this colorful building with a striking red windmill logo, Guo Shouyun pointed at it in surprise and said, "The place you said won't be here, right?"
"That's right, the French landmark, the Moulin Rouge!"
Impressionist master Auguste Renoir's masterpiece "Moulin Rouge" made this cabaret famous all over the world. Later, a series of film and television works magnified the status of the Moulin Rouge in people's hearts. Although more than 100 years later, the Moulin Rouge has changed from a place of luxury and wine to a pure entertainment place and a famous tourist attraction. But Guo Shouyun, who has never been to such a place in his two lives, has some complicated feelings. Both expectant and resistant. Especially with Al Bevan.
Looking at Al Bewen, who was familiar with the road after parking, Guo Shouyun asked, "You often come here?"
"Whenever I come to Paris, I always choose to come here in the evening for a drink. β¦ Don't worry, it's dimly lit. They won't recognize you, a rich man, so let's go. β
Guo Shouyun, who came for the first time, followed Al Bewen into this famous song and dance hall. Soon, everything in front of him overturned all his previous stereotypes about the Moulin Rouge.
The lavish dΓ©cor, the grand stage, the neat tables, and the crowd of people in suits and leather shoes all indicate that this is just a restaurant with stage performances. There is no trace of Guo Shouyun's impression of noisy personnel and dancing with warblers and swallows.
"Sir, do you want to eat?"
"Yes!"
"Perry Godine salad, Norwegian salmon, Australian 'Wagyu' grade 5 beef tenderloin, one foie gras, creamy seafood soup, two egg rolls!
"Margaux '92!"
French cuisine focuses on red wine with red meat, and white wine with white meat. They ordered beef tenderloin, and naturally they wanted to drink red wine.
"A bottle of '92 Margaux! Alright, let's order these. β
After tipping, the waiter left happily.
