Chapter 1025 - Earn Money from Rich People
As the only daughter of France's richest man, Delphine no longer thought she would have gifts she couldn't get, especially what her father wanted to give. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The sound of the thin heels on the marble floor was a little harsh for her for the first time, but as she walked through the hallway and stood in front of the chairman's office, Delphine calmed down before pushing the door open and entering.
Sitting in a spacious, well-lit office working on papers, Arnault Sr. looked up and saw that it was her, and stood up and opened his arms at her. "Oh! it turned out to be my sweetest daughter......
A warm hug made Delfina breathe a sigh of relief.
Old Arnault kissed her on the forehead and took off his reading glasses, pointing to the papers on the table and shaking his head. "That kid has raised the price by another two percent, and if this continues, the Lysarus family will get 800 million euros in excess returns! I'm going to visit Del in the Ministry of Finance over the weekend, and I'm sure he'll look into the ...... of the acquisition from the side of the French government."
Delfina knew the data before she came, and took a deep breath. "Forget it......"
Old Arnault frowned. "Forget it, how can you forget it? This is a gift from your father, there is nothing more worthy of your identity than a super first class winery with a long history, a complete heritage and beautiful scenery, you are my daughter, you should have the best winery in the world......"
Delfina was so moved that she raised her hand and pressed it to the lips of old Arnault. "Father, I know this is your good intentions, but it is not worth the high premium! It is not in the interest of the group to insist on confrontation, nor to the satisfaction of the other members of the board of directors, but also to make excess profits for the Lysarus family, don't you often tell me that you want to make money from the rich? It is not in your ...... to let the Lysarus family benefit?"
"This is no ordinary acquisition! I'm fighting for my sweetest daughter! I've already negotiated with the Bank of Lyon, and the two billion euros of extra credit will be enough to knock that kid off!"
Old Arnault's self-confidence did not relieve Delphina, but she shook her head. "Dad, Digin Winery isn't worth that much! you really don't need to ......"
"The other properties of the Lysalus family are very important to the development of the group, even if the price is a bit high, but it is still worth it!"
Delphine shook her head again. "Dad, you don't know his financial strength, not to mention the premium of four percent, even if the premium is doubled, he is able and willing to bear it! Most of his funds come from the United States, and I also know that for this reason he has also obtained a joint credit from the Bank of Scotland, Standard Chartered Bank, and Suede Bank, in terms of financial strength, you really do not have an advantage!"
Old Arnault was finally moved. "What? How is this possible?"
"As far as I know, the amount of money he has at his disposal is now more than two billion euros, and that's the amount of money he has after giving the [Pan-French Investment Holding] one billion dollars......"
Old Arnault was stunned. "What did you say? They approved your development plan, and they allocated the money?"
"Yes, a billion dollars has arrived. There will be a billion dollars to be received at the end of the year, and [Pan-French Investment Holdings] will be able to obtain no less than two billion dollars in M&A funds next year," Delfina said with a sigh and turned her face to the administrative building of Pinault across the street. "And the authorization he gave me was fully aimed at Pinault, as long as it was a company they wanted to acquire, I could stop it by buying it at a premium......"
Old Arnault was stunned, and asked after a moment. "Why did he target Pino?"
"Could it be because of what? Isn't it the beast heads that Pinault has collected?"
"The head of the beast, is it impossible? The development of the Pinault family is accelerating, they are selling off the stake in Printemps and preparing to fully intervene in the luxury market, the old Pinot should have more than three billion euros at hand, is that kid crazy?"
Seeing that old Arno was shocked, Delphine couldn't help but smile bitterly. "Father, it's true! I only approved two mergers and acquisitions before I came, and I will pay 430 million euros for three brands......"
Old Arnault grew more and more confused. "How can he have such a large amount of money?"
Delphine said. "Father, let's accept his terms, the group will get other properties of the Lysarus family in addition to Château d'Gin, and this alone will allow the group to make a profit of 200 million euros, which is a real win-win ......"
Old Arno sighed and looked at her with pity. "But then your winery is gone!"
Delphine shrugged her shoulders in a relaxed manner. "It's okay, personal interests can't override the company after all, isn't this the way you taught me to do business?"
"What's that kid's request?"
"Remove all obstacles to the acquisition of Digin Winery by foreign investors, including, but not limited to, negative political, public sentiment, and media coverage......"
Old Arnault sank his face and pursed his lips and thought for a long time before sighing. "Do you think it's appropriate to do that?"
Delphine laughed. "Isn't it good that he paid such a high price, that he should have reaped the corresponding rights, that the group company was compensated in terms of profits, and that he was able to become the owner of Château Digin, except for me and those of the Lysalus family, would be happy?"
Arno Sr. pressed Delfina by the shoulder and looked her straight in the eye. "Come back!"
"No, I've signed a ten-year contract!"
Arnault Sr. said seriously. "Dad will bear the compensation!"
Delfina stretched out her arms around Arno Sr., resting her chin on her father's shoulder socket and whispering. "No, I own 10% of the company's shares, and my annual salary is equivalent to 100 million euros, ten times the compensation, even with your net worth, it is difficult to bear......"
Old Arnault's face collapsed, full of chagrin and frustration.
As the richest man in France, it is really ridiculous that he cannot reasonably say that he can afford this compensation.
Seeing that Old Arno seemed to be several years old all at once, Delfina reached out to smooth out the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes and smiled. "Dad, if you agree, then I'll tell his people to come up and meet with you, how about it?"
Arnault Sr. was stunned. "What's the matter? That kid's guy is waiting downstairs?"
"Yes......"
Old Arnault was angry and hated. "Didn't that kid think I'd say no?"
Seeing that he actually used his temperament, Delphine couldn't help but laugh. "Dad, you said you can't fight against money......"
The conditions offered by the other party were really impossible to refuse, and old Arnault could only smile bitterly. "Alright, let him come up!"
Kissing old Arnault lightly on the cheek, Delfina took out her mobile phone and dialed Guo Jianmin's phone, telling him that he could come up and talk.
Walking into the headquarters of LV Group with relevant documents, Guo Jianmin slowed down when he walked through the exhibition hall.
The old Arnault, who is known as the Napoleon of European boutiques, really gave in, whether it was out of financial considerations, or the desire for additional profits, in short, the final result was still in the hands of the big boss, which is simply an incredible thing, if the European media knew the inside story, presumably the reputation of the LV Group would be greatly reduced......
Just imagine it, Guo Jianmin is a little intoxicated.
From competitors to partners, the negotiations involved are not only many but also quite complicated, but after the general direction is decided, all the details are no longer important.
When Guo Jianmin completed the task and walked out of the LV administrative headquarters, he took out his mobile phone and called Fu Zhengyi, telling him that the matter was done here.
The acquisition of only 7% of the shares forced the old Arnault to make concessions, which made Fu Zhengyi feel very good, and asked Guo Jianmin to complete the signing of the cooperation agreement as soon as possible, so he dialed Delfina and expressed his gratitude to her.
Standing by the window of the LV Group's chairman's office, Delfina watched Guo Jianmin's car drive away, but she said with a straight face. "You still owe me a favor!"
"Isn't it? I made your father earn 200 million euros for nothing, and I can't pay it back?"
Delphine exasperated. "Of course not!"
"Does it have to be for the Lysalus family to receive an additional income of nearly 800 million euros for nothing for your father to be satisfied?"
Delphine raised her voice. "Pay! you ......"
Fu Zhengyi hurriedly said. "Well, then I owe you a favor......
Delphine turned her annoyance into joy. "That's pretty much it!"
Hanging up the phone, Fu Zhengyi couldn't help sighing, thinking that if Guo Jianmin's information could be better-informed, the price of 200 million euros would be greatly reduced.
However, if the old Arnault is left alone, there must be more problems to face.
He is not French, and he is not ready to become a French citizen, even if he buys Dijin in the name of an offshore company, as long as someone makes some name behind his back and triggers the confrontation of national sentiments, the French government will definitely be willing to intervene in this kind of acquisition, even if Dijin Winery can be acquired in the end, but the process must be long and difficult.
If the protection of national enterprises and national industries can be done in China, there will probably be no such thing as Confucius being a member of the country and the world's best rice paper produced in Japan......
He was thinking about it, Ran Ying pushed the door in and said angrily. "Mr. Fu, the FBI raided [FL North America Ventures] and took away all the top executives and the company's computer hard drives......"
Fu Zhengyi was surprised. "What's going on?"
Ran Ying said angrily. "It's not Yang Wenyuan's ghost! I just rejected his proposal to inject an online broadcaster into Yahu yesterday, and today the FBI launched an operation, isn't this sincerely disgusting......
