A large crowd of people dressed in white, wearing hoods, masks, and white gloves spread all over the living room, study, and living room, mostly squatting, brushes or magnifying glasses in their hands, muttering and muttering as they handled their objects.

The air was filled with a strange smell, sour, like the smell of a closed cabinet with rotten apples suddenly being opened.

Catherine, dressed in a gray autumn hunting suit, walked through the rooms with her long legs in crocodile leather riding boots, her brows furrowed unconsciously.

The group followed her silently, and no one dared to speak.

On this trip to Geneva, the glamorous lady in front of them made them know for the first time what aristocracy is and what aura is.

Whether it is regular clothes, hunting clothes, or evening dresses, whether it is coffee afternoon tea, horseback hunting, or social banquets, she can always cope with it easily, and become a small focus of brilliance on the scene.

The group walked into Zhang Heng's bedroom, which became the last quiet place, and there was no way, reception, meetings and other affairs had to be carried out here.

"Catherine, thank you for your hard work. Zhang Heng, who was dressed in light home clothes, came up and hugged her tightly and kissed her behind her ear.

Running all the way, the fatigue of two days of shutting down suddenly dissipated most of it, Catherine's chin rested on his broad shoulder, and her originally sharp eyes softened.

"How do you get them to work here?" she grumbled after a moment.

"Sorry, the place is a little crowded, and the smell of preservatives and isolatants is a little unpleasant. Zhang Heng helped her sit on the edge of the bed and looked at her apologetically, "I have already opened a new room for you, just next door." ”

It's not that he is reluctant to pay for a new room, but how can he be willing to let these treasures that took a whole day to collect be out of his sight, Chen Zhenning and a few employees are staring at it outside all the time.

He himself went out for a walk after half an hour, just like the landlord Lao Cai inspecting his barn with a light in his eyes.

"That's not what I meant. Catherine gave him a disgusted look, "I mean, why don't you send these antiques to the Louvre Museum?"

"The Louvre?" Zhang Heng's face immediately turned bad, "I won't give them away! I will bring these antiques back to Xiangjiang and keep them well, and I will send them to the most suitable place in the future, where they come from and belong." ”

"Xiao Heng!" Catherine cried and laughed, "I'm not asking you to send it to the Louvre, I mean you can let their antiquities department handle it for you, it's much better than the half-baked expert you summoned from the antique street with a franc." ”

"Well, I misunderstood, sorry. Zhang Heng sat down next to her with a hippie smile, "Don't underestimate these experts, they are also people who have professionally handled countless antiques, not necessarily worse than the people in the Louvre." Besides, I don't know anyone from the Louvre. ”

"I know the person in charge of them, why don't you just call me last night?"

"Didn't you attend the dinner organized by Maus Freres SA last night, I'm afraid it will affect your Yaxing. ”

"Do you really not want to fight, or do you feel uncomfortable?" Catherine looked at him playfully with her eyelids raised.

Zhang Heng smiled: "I heard that the boss of this company is a diamond king, with a good demeanor and a lot of money, and he is also a knight, did he say anything to you?"

"I've talked so much, so much that I'm dizzy. Catherine was serious.

Zhang Heng's face sank again.

Catherine covered her mouth and smiled, leaned back and forth, and only stopped for a while, took the initiative to lean on Zhang Heng's shoulder, and said softly: "I don't like to listen to other people's words, I only like to listen to you alone in this regard, just like when I was in Hamsley Canyon." ”

Zhang Heng's man's self-esteem swelled rapidly, and a smile bloomed on his face.

Well, more than a dozen employees who followed up didn't know what to do, quit it, the door was closed, there was a sound when it was opened, the pestle was here, I wasn't too uncomfortable, I was afraid that the boss would see it.

A group of people looked at each other, eager to turn into rats and burrow under the bed.

"You've worked hard, too. Zhang Hengcai would not snub his employees, and greeted them with a smile, "Those chairs can be sat on, Lin Liang, you can report roughly and let Catherine rest." ”

Lin Liang just wanted to speak, Catherine left from Zhang Heng's arms, walked to the opposite side and pulled a chair to sit down, her expression instantly returned to seriousness: "Chairman, it's better to let me, the person in charge, report on my work directly." ”

Zhang Heng opened his mouth in astonishment for a while, and nodded with a wry smile.

The corners of Catherine's mouth curled, and she said loudly: "Our team arrived in Geneva the night before, and the Freres family arranged for their estate to receive us, and yesterday morning the two sides began to discuss the chairman's proposal to cooperate in the acquisition of La Carter. ”

She playfully said a pretty word in Cantonese, Zhang Heng really wanted to laugh, and the others couldn't help laughing, and forcibly held back their laughter.

"Jason was very interested in our proposal, and during the negotiation process, I could also feel that the Freres family has been busy expanding the shopping center recently, and the financial situation should not be optimistic, and there are two stalemate points in the negotiations."

The Freres family was first worried that after Daheng took control of Lacaste, it would close the channels of agents and sellers, which would cause damage to their interests.

Secondly, they are not very keen on cross-shareholding with Daheng, the main body responsible for the merger and acquisition, that is, Lantian Industry and Trade, as a European family business with a short history, ensuring the bloodline of the enterprise is the most important mission.

First, Catherine easily persuaded them that there was an agreement as a guarantee, and she, the baron, as an endorsement, the Freres family was still relatively recognized, and the spirit of contract and nobility was the most recognized in Europe.

The time for the negotiations was spent on the second article, and Catherine, who had received Zhang Heng's initial indication before leaving, insisted on reaching this cooperation in this round of negotiations, so as to establish the first cornerstone of Zhang Heng's planned retail empire.

In the following hunts, afternoon teas, and banquets, both sides were constantly adjusting their negotiation strategies, but Catherine always adhered to the bottom line and taught the other party a lesson with tenacity, so that they could understand what is called the glory of nobility.

It's tenacity, perseverance, and determination, and even if it seems silly, you lose more!

Yes, Catherine proposed a package solution, if Freres does not agree to cross-control, then Lantian Industry and Trade will refuse to cooperate with a third party in the acquisition of La Carter, even if it is a bayonet to kill the blood.

This glamorous but extremely stubborn baron made a deep impression on the Swiss.

Towards the end of the farewell dinner, the Freres family finally gave in.

When the expansion strategy enters a state of rapid advancement, they also need a strong partner with a large amount of money, at least this company from Xiangjiang looks very rich, and there is a person in charge with a lot of personality and decisiveness, and then think about the Oriental market, this choice seems to be very good.

Lantian Industry & Trade invested US$21 million to acquire a 51% stake in Lacaste, and the Freres family invested US$10 million to acquire the remaining 23.3% of the Lacaste family's equity, and since then the two parties have become the first and second largest shareholders of Lacaste, controlling more than 85% of Lacaste's total shares.

Lantian Industry & Trade invested US$30 million to acquire a 33.9% stake in Maus Freres SA.

The Freres family's stake dropped to 41.5 percent, but they received $30 million in cash, which allowed them to quickly complete the layout in Greece and Spain, and then immediately launch eight new projects in Riyadh, Istanbul, Mumbai, Xingjiapo, Tokyo, Xiangjiang, Taipei, and Perth.

The most important thing is that the two parties agreed that Maus Freres SA will be the first to obtain the distribution rights of the clothing brands involved in Lantian Industry and Trade in the future, and all mergers and acquisitions in the retail field must be coordinated.

This means that the two companies have a tendency to develop into Gemini Group in the future.

"Let's hope Jason isn't bothered by other factors. Looking at the thick agreement document, Zhang Heng muttered.

"A shrewd capitalist like him wouldn't be so superficial, and I said that my man is my chairman. Catherine changed into her pajamas and lay on his lap with a smile on her face.

They have switched to the next room.

"Then they must have dropped their jaws, right?" Zhang Heng asked curiously.

"No, the marriages of European aristocrats have been like this since ancient times. ”

Zhang Heng did not express an opinion on this, for fear of being bitten.

"By the way, I have just discussed with Mr. Lu and them, and the group has officially appointed you as the general manager of Daheng Group in Europe, responsible for the European business of all its subsidiaries. ”

"Ogi didn't say anything?" Catherine propped her chin on her elbows and looked at him deeply.

"She appointed you as the president and CEO of Lantian Industry and Trade, responsible for integrating all its brands and deeply developing the European market, are you willing to accept it?"

"That's right. Catherine flickered her golden eyelashes, "I accept it, but I will go to Xiangjiang and talk to Xiao Di in person before accepting it." ”

"What do you want to talk about?" Zhang Heng became nervous.

"Don't worry, I won't stay in Xiangjiang for long, and I will do my job in Europe in the future. Catherine gave him a blank look.

Zhang Heng sneered, suddenly remembered something, and asked: "By the way, can your barony be inherited by your children? ”

He looked at her with some guilt.

"Of course!" Catherine nodded, smiling gently, "Don't be a burden, I said earlier, aristocratic marriages have always been like this." Besides, we love each other, which is already much stronger than my ancestors. ”

"Thank you, Catherine. Zhang Heng picked her up and left the sofa and walked towards the bedroom, "Then, let's make a future baron as soon as possible." ”

Set a small goal first, such as remembering in 1 second: book guest residence
