Li Feng is really interested in what Li Zekai said about Coopers, not that Coopers can make money or anything, but that they implement a partner franchise system.

In fact, looking at the high operating income of Coopers firms, most of them are still the partners below to make money, each PwC firm is an independent legal entity, and the founder family is just a famous one.

Through such a world-class firm, for Li Feng, making money is secondary, and the established contacts and global partnerships are the most important resources.

Regarding Li Zekai's accounting firm in Xiangjiang, Li Feng's first thought was the Coopers firm, after all, PwC and Coopers merged into PwC in the later generations, and Li Feng had heard of it.

Naturally, in this life, I also have a certain understanding of PwC and Coopers, and I will not make some small common sense mistakes, for example, when I was a little fart in my previous life, Li Feng once thought that Coopers was founded by Mr. Yong.

In fact, it was not until this life, with the continuous expansion of Li Feng's company, and after cooperating with several major accounting firms, Li Feng had a certain understanding of the two firms of PwC and Coopers.

……

The later PwC English abbreviation PC, is the first letter set of the surnames of the three founders, of which the P represents the price of the international firm founded in the United Kingdom in the 19th century.

C is also the first letter of the surname of Cooper Brothers, founded in the United Kingdom in the 19th century, and the C in today's C&L.

In the 5th and 60s of this century, the then Cooper Brothers, LRB&M in the United States, and McDonald Gurrier in Canada merged to form the current Coopers & Coopers (C&L).

As for why it is called PricewaterhouseCoopers in China, there is also the credit of Yonghui, the partner of Coopers in Xiangjiang, who has entered the Chinese market since the 8th and 90s.

Coopers & Lybrand was originally called Coopers & Lybrand, and 'Lybrand' means 'Lybrand' in Cantonese, and Yung, as a partner of C&L's Hong Kong, said that the name was unlucky and objected to the English translation of the Chinese name.

In the end, Yongs, the big man in the accounting industry in Hong Kong, simply proposed to name it 'Coopers', and naturally, the global partners of C&L were opposed to this title at first, and you want to replace the name of a century-old store with your Hong Kong name, which is really crazy in the eyes of foreigners.

It is said that after more than a year of correspondence and telephone exchanges between Yongsheng and global partners in the United Kingdom and the United States, Yung has debated all aspects of cultural differences.

In the end, Coopers was recognized by them and took a step towards the localization of international accounting firms in China. Later, with the merger of PricewaterhouseCoopers and PricewaterhouseCoopers, it created the glory of PricewaterhouseCoopers, one of the world's top five accounting firms in the early days.

……

In his previous life, Li Feng only knew that PricewaterhouseCoopers founded Coopers in Xiangjiang, and then PricewaterhouseCoopers cooperated with PricewaterhouseCoopers.

After coming into contact with it in this life, I realized that this is how the very Chinese name "PricewaterhouseCoopers" came about, and at the same time, I learned that Coopers Yung of Xiangjiang is not the founder of Coopers at all, but just a partner of Coopers in Hong Kong.

Li Feng also admires Yongdao, the big man in the accounting industry in Xiangjiang, after all, he wants this group of foreigners to accept his name to name their accounting firm, although it is only a title in Huaxia rather than a global title, and how many difficulties there are can be imagined.

Now that Mr. Yongdao has retired, this old man is indeed a good man, and it is said that he is also one of the members of the drafting committee of the Basic Law of Hong Kong, and he is a top celebrity in both political and business circles in Hong Kong.

Therefore, when Li Zekai said that it was possible to acquire Coopers, Li Feng's interest was still quite large, but Li Feng also knew how difficult it was.

Think about it, as long as you use the name 'PricewaterhouseCoopers' in China, you can't bypass the person and name of Yong Yongdao, and this is an opportunity to leave a name in history.

After thinking about the situation of the two major firms of Pricewaterhouse and Coopers, I can roughly guess the result, and the expectation of acquisition is not large, and the possibility of acquisition is too small.

If it was only the partner firm that bought Hong Kong's Coopers, it would have been possible, but it would have been almost impossible to buy all the Coopers firms in the world.

These firms all adopt a partner franchise system, and if you want to acquire all of them, you have to talk to each partner one by one, who has the energy.

……

In the next two days, Li Feng made the following arrangements for Gucci and Yves Saint Laurent, including the shares of the two companies, and the shares controlled by the holding companies.

Tom Ford also gave up his stake in Yves Saint Laurent and switched to a stake in the holding company, which was diluted to 3% of the head office. Including the option setting of the rest of the management, etc., similarly, on the surface, Li Feng controls 10% of the shares.

Secondly, the management of the two brands was retained, and through Deloitte & Touche & Touche & Touche &

In the end, after another three days, Li Feng, who had slightly made up and changed his appearance, took the two beautiful ladies to visit the major beauties of Greater Paris.

The Louvre, Notre-Dame Cathedral, the Eiffel Tower, the Arc de Triomphe, the Palace of Versailles, the Champs-Relics, Paris Spring, and other world-famous leisure tourism, fashion and shopping places have welcomed Li Feng and the two beauties.

Similarly, in the past few days, Li Feng has also received Li Zekai's possible analysis of the acquisition of Coopers, just as Li Feng himself analyzed, it is possible for Coopers in Xiangjiang, but it is not possible in the world.

Another point is that Li Chaoren sent a message through Li Zekai, and the old man of the Qiu family in Singapore and the Bao family in Xiangjiang were contacted, and asked Li Feng to return to Xiangjiang as soon as possible, saying that he could contact him.

Li Feng also knows the importance of Standard Chartered's shares, according to historical understanding, especially the shares in the hands of the old man of the Qiu family are almost impossible to get, so Li Feng can only take action in person, but the Bao family, but let Bill or Li Shanquan contact Li Chaoren to try it first.

……

Also in the past few days, the news of the change of ownership of the Gucci Group has spread throughout Europe, and the news that Gucci is preparing to delist from the two major exchanges has also spread throughout Europe.

This is also the reason why Li Feng needs to wear makeup and dress up when he travels in recent days, otherwise there will always be trouble in being recognized, and it will become a joke to play.

With the spread of the news, especially the beginning of the viral spread in the territory of the United States imperialism, Li Feng's influence in the territory of the United States has increased again.

As a superpower, Los Angeles and New York are the world's entertainment and fashion centers, but the top fashion brands, to be honest, are still more popular in Europe, which is still unhappy in the hearts of most American imperialists.

I have to say that the people of the United States are still very proud in their hearts, and when the news came that the super-rich of the United States were able to buy the top fashion brands in Europe, they naturally won the psychology of ordinary people.

In recent days, the news in Europe and the United States has been very lively, and they have been reporting on Li Feng's acquisition of Gucci.

......

On this day, the group was gathered in the lobby, and at the same time, the hotel service staff were busy moving the luggage of Li Feng and his party into the car.

"John, are we going to visit Henry Jiaye?" asked Li Zekai as he turned to Li Feng.

"Of course, a quick decision, no matter success or failure, return to Xiangjiang as soon as possible, I am ready to visit Qiu and Baojia. ”

"OK, let's go!" Little Superman naturally understood what Li Feng meant by the Qiu Bao family, and agreed to reply.

"Sister Qing, Sister Min, let's go!"

"Hmm... , I've wanted to see it for a long time!"
