Chapter 702: A Lesson for Old Dyson
Burberry has become the center of conversation for everyone in London and even in the UK.
Because Burberry is one of the national beliefs of the United Kingdom, now there is a new owner, including the designer, who has been replaced by a newcomer who is not well-known.
Many Burberry fans have been disgruntled and protested on social media.
Shen Lang heard Daniel's report and said disdainfully: "No matter how they shout, you will be responsible for supervising Burberry's accounts in the future." ”
"Don't worry, I'm here in Marco Gabe, and I want to pit you for a penny. Daniel smiled and patted his chest.
After speaking, Daniel said with some anticipation: "Shen, my grandfather wants to meet you." ”
"Your grandfather?" Shen Lang was a little surprised.
Daniel nodded and said, "You don't know how much trouble your acquisition of Burberry has caused this time, it can be said that the entire upper class society in London is paying attention to you." ”
Shen Lang was not surprised, but his acquisition funds were legitimate, and all Burberry shareholders also wanted to sell their shares.
No one can say what's wrong with them.
As for how the money came from?
I am not a British national, so there is no way to find out.
Shen Lang smiled: "Then we will meet, I happen to be very interested in your grandfather." ”
The Dyson family played a significant role in the acquisition, especially with Albert, Belgium's richest man.
Don't look at Albert is very dark, but that is a normal offer, and if Burberry hadn't lost money for three consecutive years, Albert might not have been willing to sell his shares.
The Dyson family's lobbying played a big role.
At night, London's wealthy districts sing and dance.
A secluded manor house on the outskirts of London, his grandfather, in Daniel's words, was a bit withdrawn and didn't like the hustle and bustle of the city centre.
Although it is a suburb of the city, the security is very strict.
After several security checks along the way, Daniel led Shen Lang into the somewhat old villa.
The villa is old and dated on the outside, but on the inside it is completely different, with a variety of modern facilities and decorations that will make you look at it.
An old butler over sixty years old, with gray temples but a gentlemanly temperament on his body that is particularly favorable.
"Grandpa Edson. Daniel's fat figure almost knocked the old butler into a bad breath.
Edson smiled and hugged Daniel, led Shen Lang and said as they walked, "Young Master Daniel, Mr. Shen, welcome." ”
Up the spiral staircase to the second floor, a quaint study.
Inside, an old white man who didn't look like Daniel in the slightest, sat on a stool with thick glasses and read an economics book in his hand.
"Grandpa, I'm here. Daniel whispered.
The old man who had been reading raised his head, glanced at Daniel and Shen Lang, pointed to the chair in front of him with a smile and said, "Sit, I took the liberty to invite you to come, don't mind." ”
On the way here, Shen Lang had already listened to some introductions from Daniel, and the old man in front of him was the third-generation patriarch of the Dyson family.
His full name is Benedict Dyson.
The elder Dyson is 70 years old and is already in poor health.
Shen Lang shook his head with a smile: "It's nice to meet you, and I also want to meet the big people in London." ”
Old Dyson closed the book with a smile and gently put it on the table: "I'm old, I'm not a man of the hour, you young people are." ”
Seeing that the old Dyson was about to get up, Daniel flexibly ran to the old Dyson side and helped the old Dyson up.
Old Dyson was helped by Daniel to the sofa and sat down, motioning for Shen Lang to come over as well.
Shen Lang walked over and sat down next to Old Dyson, who was just an ordinary white old man on the surface.
But Daniel has a lot of respect for the old Dyson, and even Daniel's father, Bernard, can't make Daniel so in awe.
Old Dyson took off his glasses and said while wiping them: "Your acquisition of Burberry this time has made everyone curious about you, which can be described as a mixed bag." ”
Daniel couldn't help but say, "What impact does our acquisition of Burberry have on others?"
Old Dyson shook his head and said: "You think too simply, Daniel, you forgot how I taught you, you must learn to be low-key, it is precisely because of low-key that our Dyson family has survived until now." ”
Daniel pouted: "Well, grandfather, you will always be the wisest. ”
Old Dyson didn't mind, looked at Shen Lang and said, "I thank you for your attention and trust in Daniel, the people of the Dyson family will not let you down." ”
"Daniel and I are friends. Shen Lang chuckled softly.
Daniel said to the old Dyson proudly: "I am still the chief financial officer of Burberry, and I will be optimistic about Burberry Group for Shen." ”
Old Dyson nodded with satisfaction: "You do it boldly, the attention of the upper class is also a good thing for you, mainly in the future, I am afraid that some guys will secretly have bad thoughts about you." ”
"Bad thoughts?"
Dyson Sr. said softly: "I've seen too much brutal competition, once a billionaire with billions of pounds was wiped out overnight. ”
Daniel was puzzled: "Such a rich man usually takes his own safety seriously, right?"
Old Dyson chuckled softly: "Silly boy, there are always some people in the world who choose to take risks for the sake of profit, and that is billions of pounds." ”
Daniel shuddered: "Kill them for billions of pounds?"
Old Dyson nodded: "There are too many people mixed in there, many families work together, and it ends silently afterwards, and the participating families all get a satisfactory return." ”
Daniel felt that the hairs on his body were going to stand on end, and the billion-pound rich man with assets was wiped out like this, and the key point was that the outside world didn't know that such a thing had happened.
Billions of pounds of wealth are quietly divided, and these guys are really terrible.
Daniel suddenly glanced at old Dyson: "Grandfather, you won't be involved in it, will you?"
Old Dyson's pupils contracted unnaturally, and he denied: "Our Dyson family will not be involved in this kind of thing." ”
Seeing Daniel, who had a strong desire to learn, old Dyson lit a cigar and slowly spit out a smoke ring and said: "Afterwards, our Dyson family just helped block the news." ”
"And how much do we get paid by the Dyson family?"
"Fifty million pounds. ”
Daniel was silent, in front of interests, everyone is the same, it is difficult to control himself.
The elder Dyson scrambled his cigar and said: "Since then, I have been developing the Dyson family in a low-key manner, and the cause of the death of that rich man is that he is too high-profile." ”
The wood is beautiful in the forest, and the wind will destroy it.
Old Dyson said earnestly: "I am very pleased with your achievements, but I also hope that you can have a warning in your heart and always be careful, because there are too many people in this world who will do whatever it takes to benefit them." ”
It can be said that this is a lesson that old Dyson wants to teach Shen Lang and Daniel, and ordinary Dyson family members are not qualified for this.
The old Dyson can be said to be the living fossil of the Dyson family, and the swords, guns, swords, and shadows of London's high society are all clear.
The Dyson family has survived to this day, which is not unrelated to the low profile of the old Dyson.
