"John, you see that your name is John, and I, too, is called John, this is such a coincidence, even God is helping us, hoping that we can meet and be friends. After introducing and joking with each other, Li Feng suddenly joked to everyone and Zhuang Sibei with a smile.

"Haha... If that's the case, there are so many people named John that we can't know each other. Zhuang Sibei also responded with a smile and joked.

"Hehe... Since you're familiar with old Pino, it's great, I really have something I want to talk to you about, like about Burberry, do you want us to find a quieter place to talk?" Li Feng finally got straight to the point.

"Burberry, then John, it's useless for you to look for me, no, Ms. Bravo is the protagonist!"

"John, you're so polite, who doesn't know that you're the chairman of Burberry's group, and you're a director of Great Universal Stores, and you're a great company. Li Feng replied with a faint smile and a look that I know you very well.

"Haha... "Okay, John, I've accepted your compliment, so let's find a place to sit down and talk?"

"Okay, then let's go to another villa, there's a living room over there, let's sit down and talk slowly. Li Feng said to Zhuang Sibei and Bravo.

"Please...!"

"Please...!"

“…”

……

The group laughed and arrived at the corridor through the banquet hall, looking at the artwork portraits on the corridor, especially Li Feng's own portraits, so that everyone couldn't help but make fun of Li Feng a few words, causing everyone to laugh.

Tonight's cocktail party, in addition to Villa 19 as the main venue of the reception, in the large garden outside the villa, there is also an open-air party, even including the villa where Li Feng lives on the 18th, there is a small banquet hall across the corridor, when Li Feng and his party walked in, there were more than 10 people sitting there quietly chatting on the façade.

When everyone inside saw Li Feng and the others coming, they greeted each other in a burst of surprise, and after a few polite words, Li Feng finally led everyone through the small banquet hall, signaled to the security personnel at the door of the banquet hall, and arrived at the private living room through the gate.

Joked and chatted again, and after everyone drank a sip of the top-grade Blue Mountain coffee sent by the villa maid, as Li Feng placed the coffee on the coffee table beside him, everyone stopped talking as if they had made an appointment, and looked at Li Feng together.

"Madam Bravo, as far as I know, you have just taken office this year, and Burberry has been in a slump before, and I wonder if you have the confidence to bring it out of the trough or even to the top. Li Feng said with a smile to the newly appointed CEO, an American fellow.

"John, you can just call me Mary, since I have accepted this job, I am naturally full of confidence in Burberry, of course, this requires a lot of support from Sirs. ”

"Okay, Mary, it seems that you have a lot of faith in Burberry, that's great, John, Mary is my American countryman, you need a lot of support!"

"Hehe... Naturally, the board of directors would not have appointed Mary as CEO, and we are very much looking forward to that!"

"As long as John and the company can support me, I am sure I will not disappoint you and the board of directors. Bravo smiled confidently and replied to Li Feng and Zhuang Sibei and others.

……

"OK, I thought to myself that Mary could help Burberry turn a profit, I heard that Burberry had difficulties in its development, and you also know that I set up a fashion luxury group with Pino Lao and are vigorously acquiring fashion brands, Pinot Lao proposed to me that Burberry is a top brand in the UK and is a good acquisition target, I wonder if GUS is willing to sell?" Li Feng said directly.

"John, His Excellency the Duke of Gerald reminded me before, but I didn't expect us to really say it, and you really have Burberry in mind. ”

"I mainly have confidence in Bravo, and I'm still an American countryman, and I want to give Bravo the best support if I can buy it, and I will definitely give Bravo the best support to change the status quo of Burberry, of course, this needs to be done by Jazz and GUS. ”

"John, I heard that your Burberry turnover this year is at most about 20 million US dollars, which can be described as a serious loss, why do you completely throw away this mess, besides, we are also willing to cooperate with GUS company, and the brands under the group can cooperate with GUS Group. Old Pino suddenly interjected at this time and persuaded Zhuang Sibei.

"I think if you want to buy Burberry, you should be optimistic about its development, and since we all agree on it, why should we sell it?"

"There is no contradiction between optimism and selling, I think we should all understand that optimism is just optimism, this is like a gamble, before the final result is not clear, no one knows whether to lose or win, and we set up a luxury group, it is just a gamble.

For you, Burberry is obviously a poisonous pus, I don't believe that the management of GUS, the board of directors, the shareholders will be of the same mind, John, for you is just a change of holding company, you are still the chairman of the Burberry group, including Ms. Bravo.

Besides, John, you should believe that the meaning and strength of the name St. John Lee will definitely be better than under the GUS banner with the support of the group. Pino Sr. replied with a smile.

"Wow... Pino, old friend, you're really... But you have to understand that Burberry is not a Standard Chartered, not a listed company, and you can't force a takeover!"

"Burberry isn't, but isn't GUS either?" Wu Jianmin interjected with a smile.

Although it is a joke, but this is more like a threat, after all, GUS is facing a financial giant like Standard Chartered, if the forces represented by Li Feng target the GUS company, then the GUS company will be in trouble, after all, it is a listed company, if it is targeted by Li Feng's investment company and financial group, don't think about it in the stock market.

……

"Is this a threat?" Zhuang Sibei asked Li Feng with a smile.

"No, sir, this is just a fact, I think you, as an elite in the financial world, should know very well that I have such strength, you can truthfully convey everything I said to the board of directors and shareholders of GUS Company, right?" Li Feng replied forcefully at this time.

"Mr. John, I will tell the board of directors what you said, although I am the chairman of the Burberry Group, but such a matter will ultimately require the holding company GUS to make a decision, and I cannot give you any assurances here. Zhuang Sibei regained his smile at this time and responded to Li Feng.

"John, I don't know if you would be interested in joining Standard Chartered, the company is still missing a non-executive director and group vice-chairman. At this time, Li Feng changed his words and issued an invitation to Zhuang Sibei on behalf of Standard Chartered Bank.

"Standard Chartered Bank Group Vice Chairman and Independent Non-Executive Director?" Zhuang Sibei asked in surprise.

"Of course, Sir Chartered knows that you have a lot of experience in finance and retail, and it must be a very good cooperation for Standard Chartered to have you invited, and I can promise that as long as Sir has done well at Standard Chartered, I can reserve the position of Chairman of Standard Chartered Group in the UK in the future. Li Feng promised again.

As Li Feng's words fell, everyone was surprised, Wu Jianmin and others were also surprised, Li Feng had never told everyone about this, no wonder everyone was surprised.
