Chapter 1281: The Bouig Family

……

Not far from Paris is a medieval-style castle, although this one has been mottled by more than 200 years of weather. But those who really know the inside story will maintain a certain amount of awe when they see this castle.

Because in this castle, which was renamed 'Fort Bouyg', lived the Bouygues family, who controlled the huge Bouygues group.

The Bouygues group is one of the most famous wealthy families in France, which has risen rapidly in less than two decades.

In the mid-80s of the 20th century, the Bouygues were a small investor in the group that bears their name. But through a series of complex transactions, they gradually gained absolute control of the company, and quickly became a subsidiary or office in 80 countries around the world with 120,000 partners. One of the world's top 500 companies involved in telecommunications, communications, public service management, BTP, roads and real estate!

After breakfast in the morning, Liu Dong took Helen to the outside of Fort Bouyig before ten o'clock at the invitation of Martin Bouyg, who is now the head of the Bouygues Group.

After announcing his name, Liu Dong entered the ancient castle smoothly. Drive up the slightly winding stone path. Soon, the Cadillac, specially prepared for this placement, came to the main building of the castle.

When Liu Dong walked out of the car with a noble and beautiful Helen in a white corseted dress. The long-awaited English butler in a tuxedo next to him greeted him elegantly.

"Mr. Liu Dong, Miss Helen. Welcome to Bouygues Castle. ”

After nodding, Liu Dong said directly: "What about Mr. Bouig?" Why didn't you see him? ”

"Mr. Bouig is waiting for you in the back, please come with me!"

After Liu Dong nodded. The butler beckoned, and soon the open-top four-wheeled electric car drove over.

"Mr. Liu, Miss Helen, please!"

"Hmm!"

Nodding, Liu Dong walked up with Helen, who was wearing high heels.

Soon, the started electric car took the housekeeper and Liu Dong along the smooth stone road. Drive towards the back of the villa. After bypassing the main building and podium of the villa, without their obstruction of the view, a green lawn quickly appeared in front of Liu Dong.

And this time. He was better than ordinary people's eyesight, and he also spotted Martin Bouig, who was wearing casual clothes, holding a long club, and playing golf leisurely!

Compared to the East, he likes to talk about things at the wine table. Western tycoons prefer to decide their future on the golf course or on the horse course. For more than three years. Liu Dong has also experienced a lot of such scenes, so although he is not familiar with golf, he is no stranger to it.

"Mr. Liu, Miss Helen, welcome!"

"Mr. Bouig, it's a pleasure to meet you!" Liu Dong held the other party's hand that took the initiative to stretch out.

"Thank you, it's my honor to have Mr. Liu here!" After the words fell, he glanced at Helen, who was carrying Liu Dong's left arm next to him. "I didn't expect Miss Helen, who was enough to amaze the whole of Europe, to fall in love with Mr. Liu, this result is really surprising!"

"Mr. Bouig. This is not the evil Middle Ages, but a new, completely free time of love! ”

"Of course, beautiful young lady!"

After a simple hug, Martin Bouyig laughed.

"Liu, how is it, do you want to come and play a shot?"

"Okay!"

After smiling and nodding, Liu Dong caught the golf club handed over by Bouig.

After glancing at the white golf balls placed next to him, Liu Dong held the club with both hands, aimed at the far hole, and hit the golf ball hard.

Then, after a beautiful bright white parabola was drawn in mid-air, the golf ball fell to the grass, and then rolled forward a few times before falling into the hole with a click.

"I didn't expect Mr. Liu to have this kind of ball skill?" Martin Bouig was surprised.

Golf is an outdoor sport that requires mental and technical control, with 14 clubs hitting holes, 18 holes in a round, the lowest score wins, and the player scores mainly on the number of strokes required to complete all the progressions. Unlike other sports, the lower the number of swings you have, the better the results.

Moreover, golf is different from other ball games, he rarely fixes the field of play, and his track changes a lot. The level of each hole depends on its distance. The par of the tournament tends to be 72, which is what we call a round.

The hole that Liu Dong has scored now is at least 301 yards away from the tee, nearly 300 meters away! At this distance, even a player who is truly focused on the golf course will have a hard time scoring a hole-in-one.

In fact, according to international golf tournaments, men are shot 3 for holes up to 250 yards, 4 for 251-470 yards, and 5 for 471 yards or more! In other words, a 4-hole-in-one at 301 yards is considered a win!

"In fact, I was surprised by that too! Looks like luck today! Liu Dong put down the club and smiled.

"In that case, Mr. Liu might as well accompany me to play a few more strokes?"

"Forget it! I couldn't play golf in this outfit! And Helen was still wearing high heels, so it was really inconvenient for her to stand on the morning ground! Liu Dong shook his head.

"I was negligent!" Looking at Helen, who had been frowning next to him, Bouig, who suddenly understood, shook his head, "Then let's go to the living room and talk!" ”

"Please!"

After handing over the clubs to the caddy next to them, the three of them returned to the luxurious European-style classical living room of the castle villa in a four-wheeled electric scooter again.

"This is my special Chinese 'Dragon Well Before the Rain' specially prepared for Mr. Liu, try it!"

After sitting down in the parlor and serving tea to the butler, Martin Bouig laughed.

After smiling, Liu Dong picked up the teacup and took a sip.

"How?"

"Very good, Mr. Bouig has a heart!" After putting down the teacup, Liu Dong said.

"It's good that Mr. Liu is satisfied!"

"Mr. Bouyg, now that the ball is bigger and the tea is drunk, isn't it time for us to talk about work? You brought me all the way from China, didn't you just want me to drink tea with you? Liu Dong said directly.

"Hehe, of course not!" After putting down the teacup, Bouig glanced at Liu Dong with a smile, "I believe that even if I don't say it, Mr. Liu will be able to guess the purpose of inviting Mr. Liu this time?" ”

"Actually, I've only figured it out halfway!" After a pause, "Most of the shares of Abi National Bank are now in the hands of the Chinese China Group, as well as Santander Bank and Mr. Bouigue. If Mr. Bouygues wants to make a lot of money from this, he can sit between our GCA Group and Santander, and there is no need to invite me all the way from China to France! ”

After smiling indifferently, Bouig looked directly at Liu Dong and said, "How can Mr. Liu be sure that I don't want to buy Mr. Liu's shares in Abi National Bank and expand the business of the Bouig Group to the financial industry?" ”

"If that's the case, I'm afraid it's not me who came to Paris to visit Mr. Bouyger, but Mr. Bouyger who went to visit me in the capital!" Liu Dong said indifferently.

"Haha......!"

After staring at Liu Dong for a while, Martin Bouig suddenly burst out laughing.

It seems that Mr. Liu's ability to create a great career in just three years is not just by luck. Wisdom and wrist are also far from being comparable to others! ”

"Mr. Bouig has won an award! In contrast, the rise of the Bouygues Group is even more legendary! ”

"Thanks to Mr. Liu's praise, but since Mr. Liu understands in his heart, he doesn't know how much Mr. Liu plans to pay for the 21% stake in the British Abi National Bank held by the Bouygues Group?"

"$2.5 billion, that's high enough for the current share price of Abi National Bank!" Liu Dong said directly.

"$2.5 billion?"

After shaking his head lightly, Bouig said, "Mr. Liu, do you know what the offer from Santander Bank was last night?" ”

"I want to hear about it!"

"$3.5 billion!"

"If this is really the price, please also ask Mr. Bouig for a favor, I am willing to sell 44% of the shares held by the Hanhua Group to Santander!"

Listening to Liu Dong's sarcastic words, Martin Bouig did not show the slightest angry expression on his face.

After taking a sip of the teacup on the table, Bouig looked at Liu Dong and said indifferently: "I heard that Mr. Liu's Huayang Group and Shangyuan Engineering Group have obtained the construction permission of Yanjiao New City in Beijing, China?" ”

"Mr. Bouig is well-informed!" Liu Dong showed a faint look of surprise on his face.

Although the construction of Yanjiao New Town is no secret, it has not been exposed by the domestic media so far. In the case that few people in China know, a capitalist in France, who is thousands of miles away, is familiar with this plan, which naturally makes Liu Dong a little surprised.

"Mr. Liu should know that the Bouygues Group is the largest engineering and construction contractor in the whole of Europe. In addition, we are also paying special attention to the Chinese market, which has been growing rapidly since the beginning of the new century. It's not so surprising to learn about the construction of Yanjiao New Town, nor is it a fantasy! Moreover, it is the new century, and the transmission of information is countless times faster than in the previous century! ”

"Mr. Bouig is right. However, Yanjiao New Town seems to have nothing to do with Hanhua Group's acquisition of Abi National Bank? ”
