Chapter 791: Ask Yourself
Delphine was stunned. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info "What are you talking about? I don't get it!"
"I said, have you ever thought about becoming the CEO of a luxury company valued at over $4 billion?"
Delphine was stunned. "Are you kidding?"
"Only the unthinkable, nothing can't be done!"
Seeing that Fu Zhengyi was talking nonsense seriously, Delfina was a little displeased. "Don't be kidding! If it weren't for Candace, I wouldn't have been able to raise $300 million, and I want to be the CEO of a company valued at more than $4 billion? Do you think that such a company can achieve a controlling stake with a few hundred million dollars of investment? Or do you think I am a professional manager who can be hired?"
"What I'm saying is true! Money is not a problem, the key question is whether you have the ability to take charge of such a company, have the confidence and ability to make this company continue to grow, continue to grow, and even become a luxury giant that can compete in any corner of the world like your father's LV?"
"There are very few luxury companies with a valuation of more than $4 billion, and if you are testing my knowledge of the luxury industry, then I can tell you the details of this company now! This company was founded in 1921 in Florence, Italy, and just completed the acquisition of the famous Swiss watch factory Severinmontres last year, although this company is listed and traded in the Netherlands and the New York Stock Exchange, the shareholding is relatively dispersed, but the number one major shareholder holds more than 25% of the shares, and the proportion of shares held by the remaining shareholders behind it, I can report to you immediately to two decimal places......"
If you can write me the information about this company now, then I will have a way to not only successfully complete your father's test, but also make him pee in the face of your achievements!"
Unexpectedly, Delphine was so familiar with the situation of this luxury company, and Fu Zhengyi blurted out the indecent words in excitement for a while, causing Candace to pull his sleeve with some dissatisfaction. "Honey! I was talking to Delphina about ...... seriously."
"I'm serious, too! Since Delphine's father has done such an outrageous assessment aimed at disqualifying her from the board of directors, wouldn't it be too shameful for her to just complete the assessment? My idea is not only to make her successfully complete this assessment, but also to make her the CEO of a world-class luxury company! Think about it, if Arnault finally found out that not only was he not able to deprive Delfina of his qualifications to enter the company's board of directors, but his daughter had gained the trust and support of a huge amount of money with the help of this assessment, and became the CEO of a luxury brand that could compete with the LV brand, would he finally be pleased that his years of training had achieved good results, or would he be furious and feel that his daughter's wings had grown stiff and dare to fight with his family company? I couldn't bear it anymore, and I wanted to put this question in front of Delphina's father right away, and let him weigh what to do......
Delphine was completely stunned. "You're really not kidding?"
"As I said, as long as you can really write the specific situation of that company to me on the spot, then I have the ability and confidence to make you the CEO of this company and take over the company in an all-round way!"
Seeing that Candace was still about to speak, Delphine shook her head at her, hesitated for a moment before picking up a pen and paper and began to write.
Seeing that Delphine had confessed, Candace hurriedly dragged Fu Zhengyi out of the cabin and wondered. "Honey! You're really not kidding?"
"What am I kidding, what I'm saying is true! Delphina's family is in the luxury business, LV has now become the top brand among luxury brands, if Delphine can shake off the shackles of the family business and devote herself to running another luxury brand similar to LV, I believe she should be able to do a good job......
Finally believing that he was serious, but Candace still found it incredible. "Honey! It takes a lot of money to become the controlling shareholder of a company valued at more than $4 billion, and it needs at least $2 billion......
The heart said that two billion dollars may not be able to be done, Fu Zhengyi coughed dryly and pulled his face. "Alright, that's the end of the question about Delphine! I'm curious to know, why would you doubt what I'm saying?"
Candace was stunned, and then quickly grabbed his hand and shook it. "Honey, I'm not suspicious of you, I just think it's incredible! Delphine is already so pathetic, I'm worried...... I think she shouldn't have to suffer any more of it, and the list I just made was really going to help her get it done, I mean......"
Fu Zhengyi frowned. "Say a thousand things and ten thousand, you still don't believe me!"
Thinking that he was really angry, Candace hurriedly grabbed her earlobes with both hands and said with her mouth. "Honey, I was wrong, forgive me, okay? I won't doubt it anymore......"
Amused by Candace's pitiful appearance, Fu Zhengyi reached out and took her into his arms and said. "Since you admit your mistake, what compensation do you need to make?"
Seeing that there was a strange brilliance in the other party's eyes, Candace's face was a little red, and she hesitated before she spoke. "That'...... I'm going to serve you well at night?"
"Please, that kind of thing itself is enjoyed by two people, okay? Don't make yourself look very aggrieved and suffer......
Candace was embarrassed and raised her face in shame. "Honey!
Candace's delicate and shy appearance made Fu Zhengyi a little moved for a while, and he was struggling with whether he should go back early, but Delphine in the cabin shouted. "Fu!
Carrying Candace back to the cabin, he took the handwritten information from the black-faced Delphina, and Fu Zhengyi took a general look at it and knew that what she said before was not bragging, so he nodded. "Okay, now I'm going to ask you a second question, are you sure you can run this company well?"
was angry and silently wrote out the information, and Delphina saw that Fu Zhengyi was serious, but she chuckled in her heart. "You're really not kidding?"
"I'm not kidding. But I really need to ask yourself first, if this company really makes you the CEO, are you sure that this company will grow and eventually make this company's products become the world's top luxury brands on a par with LV, or even like Prada?"
"I ......"
Delfina wanted to say that she was sure she could, but before the words came out, she felt a little weak.
Seeing this, Fu Zhengyi nodded with satisfaction. If you think that after you take over, this company can really grow and develop like your father's LV, and eventually become a world-class luxury brand, then this thing is really necessary! I can transfer two or three hundred million funds to you at any time, so you can think about it tonight and give me an answer tomorrow......"
"Payment, if it is really implemented, then the equity aspect ......"
Fu Zhengyi was a little dissatisfied. "You haven't even told me if you have the confidence to manage the company, and you're already thinking about equity distribution?"
"Ok!OK! I see what you mean, I'll think about it for a while, ...... tomorrow I don't think I can give you an answer tomorrow, it's a multi-billion dollar acquisition, I can't make such a hasty decision, even if I have a limited amount of money to invest, I can't help but think about the safety of your money......"
"Delphina, you have to remember that you have to make your own judgment and choice in this matter! for my sake and for yourself! I'm sure you don't want to bow down to your father and ask for help in the current situation, do you?"
Delfina was full of confusion and thought for a moment before she said helplessly. "However, I really have never managed such a large company, even if I am clear about the operation mode of LV, but different brands, different sales channels, different design styles, and different corporate cultures, it is difficult for me alone to make the most correct judgment in such a short period of time......"
"It's still what I said before, only I can't think of it, and I can't do it!"
Delfina was confused for a moment, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded a little heavily.
"There is another point that you need to consider, that is, the family that owns this company, what counterattacks will there be against outsiders who forcibly take away management rights, and what do you need to prepare for the counterattack of the original controlling shareholder? Before you answer my second question, I hope you can take these factors into account, and don't wait for the other party to take measures, make the acquirer embarrassed, or even be squeezed out of the board of directors......
"I know this very well! What the original controlling shareholders can do is to increase their capital and shares, or to introduce new strategic partners to dilute the acquirer's equity in order to achieve the goal of expelling the acquirer from the board of directors! Of course, they can also amend the company's articles of association and file a lawsuit with the court to determine that the acquisition is illegal! Oh, and they can also take advantage of the convenience of the company's shares being traded on the two stock markets to increase their shareholding ratio through various financial means......
The series of methods that Delphina said surprised Fu Zhengyi, and in vain he felt that this thing would definitely be very interesting...... (To be continued.) )
