The day before Denmark drew with South Africa, FL Americas Investment Management and London Fund Co., Ltd., together with Pan-French Investment Holding Co., Ltd., filed with the Netherlands and New York Stock Exchange for a total of 10% of Gucci's outstanding shares.

Then, the day after Spain secured its right to qualify by a score of 6 to 1, the voting shares of Gucci owned by [Pan-French Investment Holdings] were as high as 26.6%, which increased Gucci's share price by 40% compared to two weeks ago, causing an exclamation in the financial markets.

However, on the day when the final exams of the Foreign Chinese Academy were about to end, Fu Zhengyi was sitting in the arena watching the match between Argentina and England when he received a call from Delphina.

"Gucci Inc. has applied for suspension of trading in vain, and we currently hold 34.4% of Gucci Inc.'s shares, and we have invested a total of $1.4 billion through leverage......"

"Now that you have become the largest shareholder of Gucci, when are you going to join the board of directors of Gucci and propose for re-election?"

"The day after tomorrow, I'll be sending three directors to Gucci's board of directors!" said Delphina, who was sitting in her study, hesitated before continuing. "The problem is that we are making a highly leveraged acquisition, and if Gucci passes a board resolution calling for a full takeover, then we will have to raise another two billion dollars......

It was too noisy in the arena, and Fu Zhengyi had to cover his ears and raise his voice. "Asking us to buy it all? That's no problem! But in terms of price, we need to sit down and negotiate, and it's impossible to buy at the current market price! If there is a discount, it's not impossible to buy it all......

I didn't expect him to agree so easily, but Delphine felt a big headache for a while, and hesitated for a moment before speaking. "Fu, I'm sorry. The problem now is that in addition to Gucci, my father's interest in this acquisition has increased significantly, and he feels that I should be given more money so that the company can have a say......"

"Picking peaches?"

Delfina didn't understand what she meant, and waited for Fu Zhengyi to finish explaining before hurriedly defending. "My father, though a little paranoid, knows about the private agreement I signed, and he just thinks that you don't have enough money to grow Gucci, and he wants to be able to transfer all the Gucci shares you bought in New York and London to the group of companies, and he is willing to pay a premium of $200 million in return......"

In just 20 days, with a mere investment of 300 million US dollars, a net profit of 200 million yuan can be earned, and Arnault's sincerity cannot be said to be without sincerity.

However, the value of Gucci is far from satisfying Fu Zhengyi with 200 million US dollars, and the LV controlled by Arnault itself is engaged in luxury goods, if he puts Gucci under the LV Group, he will understand with his toes that Arnault will definitely suppress Gucci and raise his wholly-owned company LV, and in the end, the value of Gucci will definitely shrink significantly, so Fu Zhengyi laughed. "Delphina, I think it's better to put this matter on hold! After you really take control of Gucci, if your father is still willing to get involved, how about we sit down and talk about it?"

"Uh-huh, okay......"

After hanging up the phone, Delphine sighed and walked out of the study, and when she came to the living room, she saw her father still studying the financial statements of Gucci Company, and she sat down and spoke. "Dad, Fu Zhengyi thinks that now is not the time to discuss this matter......

Putting aside the financial statements in his hand, Arno frowned. "If you don't talk about it now, when will you talk about it? Do you want to talk about it when you stabilize the situation at Gucci?"

Facing her father, who was usually strict, Delfina couldn't help but bow her head and whisper. "I told him that Gucci might ask for a full takeover by the [Pan-French Investment Holdings], and that the Gucci family still owns a total of 42% of the shares, and that it would be impossible for outsiders to take ownership of Gucci if it weren't for the family's internal conflicts, scattered shareholdings, and the impossibility of a joint agreement......

"Now that you have become the largest shareholder of Gucci, why do you want to make a full acquisition? You don't have to pay attention to this! At the board meeting the day after tomorrow, you only need to pass a few issues that must be taken before becoming the owner!" Arnault took a deep breath and softened his expression. "Delphina, Anthony is reluctant to enter the company to take responsibility for the family, the assessment I arranged for you is also to let you be familiar with the financial market as soon as possible, familiar with the acquisition between enterprises, I didn't think about favoring anyone, I just hope that you can grow up faster and take over the family business faster......"

Arno's attitude made Delphine a little surprised, her father was extremely strict since she was a child, and any mistake would be punished, so she really didn't adapt to the current atmosphere of the conversation, so she could only nod her head silently and listen carefully.

"Delphina, although the company you set up in Paris was jointly established by you and the American actor Candace, but in fact, the surname Fu holds more than 70% of Gucci's shares through two fund companies in the United States and the United Kingdom.

"Daddy, he's not like that! Candace ...... Candace is his girlfriend, and he is even more popular through his company, and he is a very powerful person. He wants to tie me to Gucci for 10 years in the form of stock options, and I don't think he's going to kick me out of Gucci once it's growing!"

Arno frowned again. Don't think that guy will really feel at ease to make you the head of a multi-billion dollar luxury company because of a woman, everything is pale in front of capital, only interests and checks and balances are eternal, don't forget, there are no friends in the capital market!"

Delphine finally couldn't help it. "Dad, you don't know this person! Didn't you say yourself that you should not label someone without contact?"

"Delphina!LV needs to put a brand like Gucci into the group company, otherwise once this brand continues to grow, it will inevitably have an impact on the LV brand......

Without waiting for Arno to finish speaking, Delphine, clasped her hands, spoke. "Father, if Gucci is included in the group, then the selection of design talents, the inculcation of corporate culture, the suppression and suppression of product publicity and promotion will appear one after another, in your eyes there is only the LV brand, all other brands must exist around the development and growth of LV! Fu Zhengyi took this into account, he would rather let me take charge of the company by granting options, rather than let the brand become a second-rate or third-rate ......"

Arno was furious. "Delphina, don't forget who you are!"

"Yes! I'm part of the family, but after I joined Gucci, I have to be responsible for Gucci! I can't win your favor at the expense of Gucci! It's against business ethics!"

Glaring at his daughter, Arno walked away without saying a word.

The heavy closing of the door made Delfina sitting on the sofa shudder uncontrollably, rubbed her already stiff neck, and then sighed with a wry smile.

"Finally gone?"

Hearing the voice, Delfina raised her face, and when she saw that it was her brother Anthony who was hiding upstairs, she beckoned to him, and when he went downstairs and jumped on the sofa, she sighed again. "You, you, all the blame is on me, do you know how hard I am now?"

"Sister, don't say that, I'm also working hard! But I'm really not interested in business things, I'd rather spend my time thinking, reading books, and listening to good music, I really don't want to face those financial statements, those acquisition plans......"

Anthony said as he placed the stack of financial statements Arno had placed on the couch on the coffee table, and continued with a hippie smile. "Besides, I have a good sister who naturally doesn't need to worry about these, what acquisitions, what boards of directors, and what re-election, of course I don't have to think about it!"

Delphine is angry. "You bad boy!"

"By the way, when will I be able to visit your office?"

Delphine grimaced. "Stop playing tricks! I told you that Candace is only a shareholder in the company, and she won't show up in my office!"

"Then when are you going to take me to her crew to see, it's so close, but I can't even see anyone, do you know how depressed I am these days?"

Delfina was shocked, even if she was right. "Candace is the one who has a boyfriend, I don't allow you to harass her!"

"I just wanted to see it, I didn't think about harassing her......"

Seeing her brother drooping his head and being a little frustrated, Delphine's heart softened, but she still warned him not to have any illusions.

Somewhat anxious to be said, Anthony got up angrily. "Sister! Candace is not married, she doesn't belong to anyone now! I can wait forever!"

Delphine decided to be ruthless, and she pouted disdainfully. "Wait? Do you think your father would accept an American actor as your fiancée? Or do you think you're better than Fu Zhengyi?"

Anthony tried to defend himself, but he soon found that he didn't seem to have any advantages other than being younger than him...... (To be continued.) )
