Chapter 364: Opportunity Arises

Isabella is still studying at a university in the United States, so she is free during the summer and winter vacations, and the winter vacation is short, so she naturally hopes that Wang Ye can take the time to come over and accompany her for a few days.

"I'm sorry, Isa, it's the end of the year, it's the busiest time for the company, and I can't leave. Wang Ye said apologetically.

"Oh~well~" Isabella replied sullenly.

So, after hanging up the phone, my face was not very good, and I was still sad until I ate.

Girls, whether they are poor or rich, whether they are ordinary people or princesses, all hope to be cared for and cared for by their boyfriends.

Now Wang Ye neglects himself for the sake of work, even if Isabella is very sensible, it is inevitable that she will be unhappy.

When Frederick heard this, he smiled knowingly and comforted: "You also know, there are so many companies under Wang Ye, and there are too many important tasks to deal with every day. Moreover, January 1st is not an important holiday in China, maybe he didn't notice it. ”

"Hmph~ That's not a reason, he has a private jet, fly over and fly back with me for a day, and it won't delay him much. ”

Isabella still can't let go.

So in the next few days, she didn't call Wang Ye again until the night before New Year's Day.

……

In Copenhagen, fireworks are celebrated during the New Year, and in the evening, the whole city comes alive with fireworks rising into the sky one after another.

On the streets outside the palace, many citizens stepped out of their homes and were lit up everywhere.

Listening to the laughter in the distance, Isabella sighed, she couldn't be happy.

Being born in such a family is actually not as happy as others think.

When she was a child, other children could play carefree, but Isabella couldn't, there were too many lessons to learn.

All kinds of etiquette, all kinds of family history, and even learned two or three foreign languages.

Under this kind of pressure, where is there any happiness at all.

When I grow up, I have to take on the responsibility of the children of the family, and I am lucky to find a fiancé who makes me tempted.

Of course, the princess's fiancé must be a big man, and the royal industry did not disappoint the Danish royal family either.

In addition to being a world-class billionaire, through a series of operations, he became the son of the Queen of Great Britain, Prince Born.

The net worth and status are enough to be worthy of Isabella in all aspects.

For this marriage, everyone in the royal family is very satisfied, and Isabella is also very satisfied, but there are gains and losses.

found a fiancé with a successful career, and it is impossible for the fiancé to be by his side often like an ordinary person.

She was looking out the window intently when suddenly a bright ball of light rose in the direction of the palace square.

With a long tail in tow, the ball of light rises into the air, and when it explodes, it is a huge holly flower, which is the national flower of Denmark.

Isabella's attraction was also drawn to it, and she knew that it should be the palace staff who started setting off the fireworks.

Tonight, fireworks are set off at the Royal Palace, which is also a major event in Copenhagen, and it is also an annual tradition.

Every year tonight, a large number of citizens gather around the square in front of the palace to watch the palace set off fireworks.

The fireworks went off more and more, and the whole night sky was lit up, and Isabella sat on the balcony of her bedroom, watching the beautiful fireworks and feeling a little better.

Beautiful things are short-lived, and the fireworks are about to reach their final climax.

I saw dozens of fireballs rising into the air, and when they reached the highest point, they exploded one after another, as if they were about to form some kind of pattern.

Isabella watched with interest, guessing what it was.

Flags? Possibly, but once a few years ago.

Or the Queen's head? No, this was done a few years ago, so I can't repeat it.

Before she could guess any more, the pattern in the night sky had become clear.

"Ah~" Isabella covered her mouth and cried out in surprise.

It turned out that the pattern was two people, and on the left was a young man, of course, I couldn't see what it was.

But from the clothes of the body, this is not ...... Wang Ye was the same as when he was awarded the Order of the Garter?!

On the right is a young woman, and this is obvious, because the pink crown on the woman's head has clearly told everyone that this is Isabella.

And the young man, holding a bouquet of flowers, looked at the young girl affectionately.

Several more balls of light burst open, and a line of large characters appeared.

“I ? U”

The middle was supposed to be "LOVE", but now there is a "?" shape to take the place.

There was also a sensation in the square outside, where thousands of people gathered to watch the fireworks, and everyone saw the last fireworks pattern.

Of course, we all understand that this is our concubine who is expressing his love to the princess.

"Wow, Prince Born is so romantic, Isabella is so happy. ”

On the square, a girl said enviously.

"yes, yes, if my boyfriend shows me love like this, I'll die happy. Her companion said with his hands in his heart, intoxicated.

"Wake up, you're not a princess, and your boyfriend certainly won't be a prince!"

Friends hit her mercilessly.

……

In the room, Isabella was also a little distracted.

What's going on?

Who arranged this firework?!

Isabella's heart was pounding, could it be......

At that moment, there was a soft knock on the door.

"Yes...... Who is it?"

Isabella trembled in her voice, of course, she had a faint feeling in her heart that it should be him outside, but ...... Didn't you say you were too busy to come?

When he opened the door, Wang Ye's smiling face came into view.

"Happy New Year! Isa, I'm a little late, don't blame me. ”

Isabella threw herself into Wang Ye's arms and said in surprise: "It's really you!"

"Oops, oops, flowers...... I still have tweed in my hand. Wang Ye said hurriedly.

However, Isabella couldn't care about what to spend, and raised her face to send a fragrant kiss, which also blocked Wang Ye's mouth.

"Woo~ lighter...... Baby. ”

……

This kind of romance and surprise really worked, and today Isabella is so enthusiastic that she can't wait to dedicate herself immediately.

But the royal business held on, because Isabella was an evangelical Lutheran and could not have premarital sex.

Of course, you have to respect each other, and you can't regret Isabella because of her impulsiveness.

In fact, Isabella's surprise did not just come from the fireworks, but more because Wang Ye really had her in his heart.

He did not hesitate to fly here from Pengcheng for a long time, just to spend a New Year with him.

This heart is what touches her the most.

Even if there are no fireworks, no flowers, as long as Wang Ye can appear in front of her, Isabella will be very happy.

No one bothered the two of them, and everyone went about their own thing with fun, leaving the space for them.

Wang Ye stayed in Isabella's bedroom tonight, of course...... Just hugged each other and slept without any outrageous actions.

One is to respect Isabella's religious beliefs, and the other is really tired.

After washing, Wang Ye hugged Isabella and said a conversation, then fell asleep.

And Isabella, who couldn't sleep for a long time, was in the dim light of the night light, and her eyes when she looked at Wang Ye were full of tenderness and sweetness.

……

The next day, it was January 1st, which was the real New Year.

On this day, the royal family still has activities, that is, riding in an open-top carriage, escorting the royal guard of honor down the street, and also wishing the people the New Year.

Wang Ye also rode in the same carriage as Isabella and followed the queen's carriage.

If you talk about the scene, it's really not big.

The entire royal honor guard, there are only 100 people, although they have worked very hard, but obviously the overall quality is too different from the kind of honor guard in China.

Not to mention anything else, bald, the country is basically exactly the same height.

And this guard of honor, tall and short, is much weaker in terms of momentum.

As for the standard degree of action, it is even more impossible to talk about it, that is, it can be seen.

But on the European side, the honor guard is basically like this, and others don't value this, they just want an atmosphere.

When parading through the streets, in addition to the queen's carriage, it was Wang Ye and Isabella that attracted the most attention.

"Look, Prince Born is here too. ”

"Prince Bohn and the princess are really a good match!"

"I heard that they are in free love, and at first the two of them didn't know each other's identities, it was really like a fairy tale~"

"Yes, it turns out that both of them are really so amazing, just like the fairy tale where a prince and a princess meet. ”

……

There is now one of the most widely circulated versions of the process of Wang Ye and Isabella meeting and falling in love in Denmark.

That's two young people who accidentally meet on the streets of London, and then they both fall in love.

After more than two years of love, the two parties learned each other's identity.

One is the richest man in China and the greatest entrepreneur of the younger generation!

The other is a princess from Northern Europe.

So, the fairy tale was staged in reality, and the two lived happily together.

……

Of course, this story was released by the royal family, which is about the face of the royal family, and of course it has to be packaged to make the engagement of the two people look very good.

Otherwise, could it be said that it is because the royal family has received a large amount of "gift money" from the royal industry, and after concluding this marriage, the royal family will be able to reap greater benefits in the future.

still exposed Wang Ye's old bottom, saying that he was morally corrupt, stepped on a few boats, and maintained improper relationships with many girls at the same time......

These things that are real but not so beautiful, of course, cannot be exposed.

That's why there was that fairytale version that appeared in front of the general public. And now, what everyone sees is indeed a very happy scene.

The royal family still has a high reputation among the people, and everyone sincerely wishes Isabella and Wang Ye to be happy forever.

After a busy day, he will return to Pengcheng tomorrow, and in the evening, Wang Ye took a break and chatted with his "father-in-law" Frederick for a while.

The European Royal Fund, although Wang Ye is the chairman, Frederick is also the vice chairman, and he is also responsible for many things.

Moreover, the main investment body of the fund is still in Europe, and in the Asia-Pacific region, the investment is just a Huayou Group and the U.S. stock network.

"As far as I know, the Estée Lauder company has been in a mess lately. I feel that the time is ripe to do it. ”

In the small living room, Wang Ye sat leisurely on the sofa, holding a cigar.

The same was true of Frederick, who sat across from him, and the two had the same hobbies.

……

In the last century, there were many family-owned businesses in the American cosmetics industry. The most well-known of these family businesses are Elizabeth Arden, Helena, Revlon, and Estee Lauder.

Three of these companies have changed hands: Helena was acquired by L'Oréal in 1989, Elizabeth Arden was acquired by Revlon in 2011, and the Rivers lost control of the company after Revlon went public.

Only the Lauder family still firmly controls the Estee Lauder Group.

According to the information disclosure of listed companies, the Lauder family still holds 40% of the company's equity and 87% of the voting rights.

In addition to William Lauder, the third generation of the family and executive director of the group, there are also a number of members of the Lauder family who hold core positions in the group.

This is all thanks to Leonard Lauder, the eldest son of founder Mrs. Estée Lauder, who led Estée Lauder's international expansion and completed the group's IPO during his tenure. More importantly, Leonard ensured that control of the company was not lost through a dual-class share structure.

In 1982, Leonard took over the management of the group from his mother and became the company's CEO. Prior to that, Leonard had been officially with the company for 24 years, and this is not counting the time he spent helping his mother keep accounts and deliver goods since he was a child.

It's fair to say that Leonard grew up with the group, and by the time he joined the company in 1958, Estée Lauder's annual sales had reached $800,000.

However, Leonard was not satisfied with making Estée Lauder an ordinary American family business, he wanted the company to become an international cosmetics group.

Thanks to his Wharton experience, Leonard placed more emphasis on a multi-brand strategy and an international market than his mother.

Beginning in 1964, Leonard embarked on the acquisition and development of new brands, expanding the number of Estée Lauder brands from 4 to 26. Estee Lauder has also entered European countries such as Great Britain and overseas markets in the Asia-Pacific region such as China, and its turnover has also increased steadily.

However, Estée Lauder was starved of funds due to the large-scale acquisition, and Leonard realized that the company had to be helped by the capital markets if it was to be truly successful.

In 1995, Leonard became Chairman of Estée Lauder and led the company's IPO. In order to avoid losing control of the company, Leonard set up a dual-share structure at the time of the IPO. By setting two different voting weights, A and B, the Lauder family achieves its goal of obtaining a majority of voting rights with a small number of shares.

Although the Lauder family holds the voting rights of the company, the death of Mrs. Estee Lauder has also brought to the surface internal conflicts within the family.
