361 Another trip to France
From all aspects, Li Feng cooperated with him to develop the 'Xintiandi' project, so Li Feng called Sun Wei in Beijing on the same day, and then had a conversation about the possible cooperation of the Xintiandi project.
Anyway, Li Feng understands that in his previous life, Shui On Group's renovation of Xintiandi had made the most correct way to open it, otherwise Xintiandi would not have such a big reputation.
Although, with Li Feng's influence and strength now, if he goes to negotiate with the Demon Capital Government and says that he is willing to take over the 'Xintiandi' project, it may really be possible to pull it alone. However, collaboration is a good way to do it in all aspects of the future.
In fact, for Shui On Group, Li Feng's investment is also very timely, just when he was short of funds, Li Feng fell from the sky, "Lang has a concubine intention", and soon the next day, Luo Ruikang called Li Feng and reached a consensus on cooperation.
Again, the specific details were directly handed over to Sun Wei, who would negotiate with Luo Ruikang of the Shui On Group on behalf of Skyline Real Estate in the mainland of China.
Two days later, Li Feng, who was a little unhappy, under the urging of Tom Ford, took his private jet directly, took Li Zekai, who said that he was going to see the modern god of wine Henry Jia Ye, Wang Siqing, Zhang Min and his entourage left Xiangjiang and headed for France.
Yes, Zhang Damei came to Xiangjiang, and then said that she was going to France to have fun, and then got on Li Feng's plane, but Lin Xilei returned to her star life again after staying in the hotel for a few days.
Similarly, Li Feng temporarily gave up the life of the first beauty in Xiangjiang, Guan Yehenara, and once again fell into his flying career of work expansion.
……
10 hours of air flight trip, in fact, is really not a good experience, but fortunately, with his own private jet, Li Feng is getting more and more used to such a rhythm of life.
"John, you're amazing, I didn't expect that your side is not only going to buy the vineyard of the Bacchus in Burken, but also has already taken Gucci directly into the bag, you are ruthless!" Li Zekai gave Li Feng a thumbs up.
On the plane, when Li Zekai knew that Li Feng was mainly going to Gucci Group this time, he was really surprised.
In fact, recalling the result of Gucci, Li Feng himself was surprised, it was so smooth, even so smooth that Li Feng thought that someone had set a trap for him to drill into.
When I was in South Korea before, Tom Ford came to discuss Gucci, and I have to say that the response of these European companies was really a bit slow, until Yves Saint Laurent already owned almost 35% of Gucci's shares, and they reacted.
However, the result of the reaction was that Gucci management, on behalf of the shareholders behind the scenes, took the initiative to come to the door to ask whether it was necessary to directly acquire Gucci completely, this is not begging Li Feng to acquire, thinking of this, I couldn't help but think of the surprised tone when Tom Ford called him before, Li Feng was also speechless for a while, and even suspected in his heart that this was really the famous Gucci Group in the future.
......
In fact, Li Feng was suppressed by the famous Gucci in later generations, and the Gucci Group is no longer in the hands of the Gucci family, and people are only investing in Gucci.
According to the original history, in 99 years, when LV Group held about 30% of the shares, Gucci finally did the same as now, and the investment company behind the scenes was interested in selling the company directly to LV Group, but in the end, LV thought of relying only on a part of the equity to contain the development of Gucci, and rejected the proposal of directly acquiring all the shares.
It was under such circumstances that the investment company behind Gucci directly introduced the later famous Yunkai Group to carry out a vigorous battle for Gucci's equity, and finally Yunkai Group had the last laugh, with Gucci as the team, and became one of the three major luxury groups in later generations.
In this life, due to Li Feng's insertion, there is naturally nothing to do with Yunkai Group, and Yunkai Group at this time is just a construction timber retailer, importer, and processor in France.
At Charles de Gaulle International Airport in France, Li Feng's private jet slowly parked on the airport runway, and finally entered the private tarmac.
In the top Rolls-Royce RV, Li Feng sat in it with his two daughters, Tom, Li Zekai and others, but he was not a little uncomfortable, sitting in it, sipping red wine and greeting.
......
"BOSS, Gucci's market capitalization is about $2.5 billion today, but my old friend Desol (then president of Gucci) initially quoted $3.5 billion. At the same time, the news that we were going to acquire Gucci also spread, and the LV Group was interested.
However, in the face of Gucci's overall acquisition proposal, in fact, few companies have the strength to eat it directly, and finally after our team's negotiation, according to the premium of 20%, a total of 3 billion US dollars wholly owned 100% of Gucci shares, LV Group may understand that we have controlled 35% of the shares, but we can't compete for us, and finally withdrew, Investcorp investment company has agreed to our offer. Tom Ford said a little excitedly.
I have to say that for Tom Ford, since he left Gucci and cooperated with Li Feng and acquired Yves Saint Laurent, his life has entered a new stage, and now he is returning to Gucci with a new attitude, and the excitement in his heart can be imagined.
Before being brought in by Li Feng, Tom Ford was the creative director of Gucci, and after Tom Ford's return, he will continue to serve as the creative director of the entire group, and he is also a member of the board of directors of the group company, and is now the largest shareholder of the group except Li Feng.
Tom Ford took the initiative to make this adjustment, saying that after more than one year of business experience in Yves Saint Laurent, he still likes design things, and running a company is not what he is best at.
Now that he is not only a creative director, but also a director of the board of directors, and he is not worried about being fired or anything, naturally, Tom wants to return to the job he loves.
Another point is that Tom is actually very satisfied with Gucci's president Desol and other professional managers, after all, they used to be colleagues, they are very familiar with each other, and they still know each other very well. From a professional point of view, Gucci has developed smoothly under the management of these professional managers.
……
"Then let's speed up the contact with Gucci and sign the contract as soon as possible to avoid long nights. ”
"Anytime. ”
"Haha... Tom, you've worked hard during this time, but our results are gratifying, and I really want to thank you, I didn't expect you to really give up the position of president of the group. Li Feng said to Tom Ford with a smile.
"Hey... I thought about it for a few days before I finally figured it out, in fact, I still like the identity of the creative director, I used to run Saint Laurent, nominally I was the president of the company, but in fact, the development direction of Saint Laurent was developed under the guidance of John's grand strategy.
In the same way, the professional managers and managers are the key to ensuring the operation of the company, and this is also a decision I made after thinking about it for several days. ”
"Tom, you know, it's very rare to find someone who knows how to be self-aware and who can make the most appropriate choice. Li Feng joked with a smile.
"Well, then I'm kind of self-aware. ”
