"Did Mandy tell you before," Qiao Yun said, clicked his finger and forwarded an email to Fu Zhan, "GA wants to buy us—did you hide it from me again?" ”

"I originally wanted to tell you," Fu Zhan admitted very calmly, "but you were a little busy at the time, so as not to cause misunderstanding-"

He smiled, "Besides, it was the eve of the press conference, and I don't think the time was ripe to discuss this with Mandy, and our focus should still be on the press conference." ”

On the eve of the press conference, isn't that when Qin Wei came? Qiao Yun thought back to the schedule during that time, her face couldn't help but blush, but she was still not to be outdone, "Hey, what do you mean, it's like I'm not doing anything at all, 99% of my mental energy is still focused on the press conference, do you dare to deny it?" ”

"Yes, yes." Fu Zhan has never had a second word for her, but this kind of accommodation has never made him lose his initiative. "I can't deny it, whatever you say is what it is."

Qiao Yun's waist is really uncomfortable these days - maybe she was too tired last month, and now she looks like she is about to break off when she straightens her waist, she was crooked to the sofa as soon as she entered the door, and she was half-lying down to ask for her guilt, but now she is supporting and sitting up: Qin Wei did not give her eye medicine in private, although she didn't nag, but it meant that it was obvious. But just like she was jealous of Li Zhu, she couldn't stop her from partnering with Qin Wei, she was in love from a long distance, and she couldn't talk about it if she didn't trust each other enough, but even if she had trust, it wasn't everything, she still had to grasp the scale externally if she had a lover - this was quite difficult, so she was polite to Fu Zhan, and she felt that she had to be led by the nose, but it was too domineering, and the atmosphere was always a little ambiguous, she was nothing in her heart, but it was not a matter for outsiders to see it.

"Then why are you stabbing me?" Don't dare to fight on private topics, take the upper hand and quickly return to the topic, "I'm not surprised that GA wants to buy me - even if they have a vision, but skip you to find me, guess what it means, persimmon picks up soft pinch?" ”

Her voice raised, and she seemed a little resentful of being treated as a soft persimmon, "It's too underestimated." ”

"Maybe it's just because they know me too well and know how tough I am." Fu Zhan said in a joking tone, this actually doesn't match his usual style of cooperation, but Qiao Yun rarely didn't have the slightest intention to refute: I don't know what is really tough after being in the mall for a long time, the kind of toughness with a cold style and a crushing aura, probably only belongs to the rich second generation who is about to take over the family business, Fu Zhan's toughness is quiet, soft and hard, how powerful it is to see [rhyme]? It's been four or five months since he joined, and he has never fought for any rights, but unconsciously, what other business is there in [Yun] that he hasn't been involved in? If she hadn't come up with [see and buy] and planned the idea single-handedly, she would have automatically focused on design after a while, and she wouldn't have even had any authority in other departments. "However, since they have found you, it means that GA is really eager to get the relevant data of [see now and buy now] in a short period of time - and it is a good buyer, can we also consider whether to accept GA's acquisition? After all, if you want to take a stake, there are few better investors in the world. ”

His tone is very natural, and Qiao Yun doesn't feel harsh when he listens to it: on a global scale, fashion brands accept luxury consortium financing or simply be wholly acquired, which is a kind of glory, and it is even a kind of capital that can be shown off for fashion designers, which is mainly determined by several reasons - designer brands are led by designers, and for brands that change their heads, the new director may even be able to do things with 0 shares, so there is no problem of losing the right to speak, at most there will be performance requirements, But in the first few years, it is also very relaxed, even more relaxed than the brand itself to survive and develop, after all, in the fashion industry, cash flow is a big problem, and it is better to have an owner than to endure it yourself.

Second, we all know that the creation of a fashion brand is a high-risk business, if the self-reliance portal, failure is likely to be highly indebted, and how to look at the failure rate of the self-reliance portal is also larger, if it is acquired, it is different, after the first few years of development, if the brand has not been profitable or declining, the main design is likely to be forced to leave the brand created by themselves - this is indeed very lost, yes, but then again, equity can be taken away together, if you change a designer, Bringing the brand back to life?

If it fails, it is more cost-effective to sell it before, if it succeeds, the brand is getting bigger and bigger, financing is only a matter of timing, and it is impossible to enjoy profits alone anyway. One-stop service, or simply a professional buyer of the brand incubator, especially GA, because it strongly advocates the independent operation of each brand, has a good reputation in this regard, and has never heard of a history of interfering with the brand, so Fu Zhan's words cannot be said to be unreasonable, and now in the whole world, it is difficult to find a better buyer than GA. Cooperation is undoubtedly an ideal choice - for the already heavily indebted [Yun], they do need a financier now, and their own [see and buy] is a very heavy test of cash flow, and besides, they just held a cross-era live show, in the winter of 2008, bandwidth is still quite an expensive commodity, let alone a transnational live broadcast.

At present, the biggest creditor of [rhyme] is, of course, still cy, but it is only able to hold on, in the future, with the expansion of the scale of production, if you still plan to open your own factory, if the Internet celebrity economy only maintains a small operation, the scale may not be able to move, Qiao Yun knows several of this kind of independent brands that wander between copycats and originals, and finally chose to go public for financing.

Although I also like the feeling of my own words, but now [Rhyme] also has Fu Zhan and Brother Qing, and the three of them can't be said to be singing without drama, if she is asked to choose a company between CY and [Rhyme] for financing, Qiao Yun will definitely choose [Rhyme] without hesitation, after all, CY has more secrets, and it will enhance a lot of risks if it goes public, and now she has more stable power to speak in CY-until now she has been unwilling to give up the identity of the Coco demon, in addition to paving the way for [Rhyme], The main reason is to continue to master the core productivity of cy, at least, not to be left behind too much by Qingge. Otherwise, Brother Qing can also contact Doudou herself, on the surface she is the boss of CY, and she has mastered more than 90% of the production line relationships single-handedly, what use does she have in the company? Pickpocket? Now the company has enough money to hire the best pattern makers.

Qiao Yun's only concern now is actually Fu Zhan, she can't contact her directly, because she thinks she is better at talking, Fu Zhan is too difficult, or is it a wordless tacit understanding between the two parties.

"Of course it's right to say that they are the best buyers on the planet, but this circle is so big," she said while observing Fu Zhan's expression, "Luxury groups are nothing more than just a few, GA, BXRG, Vince Water, ......"

Most of the brands above the second tier are concentrated in the hands of these groups, this is true, Fu Zhan stared at her and smiled, and said while laughing, "That's right, GA has Donna Karen, LV, Dior." bxrg has Chanel ......"

He is like a treasure, and the luxury brands he said do belong to several major companies, and they are all brands that brought a picture album to Qiao Yun when the two first met," ...... These brands in China, or the general agent in North China, do all belong to our Fu family. ”

actually exposed Qiao Yun's careful thinking in such a generous way: she was afraid that Fu Zhan and these financial alliances would further elevate her, and even the entire acquisition was not the first move of GA, but Fu Zhan's private contact, GA skipped Fu Zhan to contact herself, it was just a little trick to confuse the enemy.

Okay now, he has connections in various groups, if you are worried about this, then don't sell it, Qiao Yun was a little embarrassed to be seen through, so he doubled his arrogance, "I know that you are still pretending here?" How can I trust you like this, little fu, little fu! ”

She is a few years younger than Fu Zhan, and Xiao Fu can also be called out by her, Fu Zhan's smile is not lost at all, he always looks at the problem from a positive angle, "Look at it this way, our relationship is still advancing, it's good, it's good, it's good, you finally said it from the bottom of your heart." ”

…… This kind of problem-solver's attitude really made Qiao Yun helpless, Fu Zhan was like a ball of cotton, he might be a little weak to others, but she was just right - maybe it was because of this that he would have such an attitude. "Since you know everything, haven't you thought about showing something to reassure me?"

"If you don't believe me, what I can do will only deepen your suspicions." At this point, the annoying smile on Fu Zhan's face finally disappeared, but his tone was still calm, "Isn't it?" ”

Qiao Yun was speechless, and after thinking about it, she could only admit that Fu Zhan was right, unless Fu Zhan explained his family background clearly, explained his experience from childhood to adulthood clearly, and even took the initiative to hand over his handle...... Then she still won't trust him, and most likely she will suspect that he still has a purpose behind doing this.

"Don't you feel bad working with such a suspicious boss?" She is also a little crazy, it's okay for him to have a little temper, the more Fu Zhan is so temperamental, the more she doesn't trust him, the more she feels dangerous, unlike Brother Qing, what he thinks in his heart, she can see it clearly, Fu Zhan's heart is like a well, the water surface is always calm, whether it is deep or shallow and I don't know if I don't jump in. "What do you want, what can't anyone give you?"

In the past, she felt that it was herself, and she could feel Fu Zhan's interest in her, but after trying for a while, Fu Zhan didn't react, but now she really can't figure it out, and the more she thinks about it, the darker it becomes: Fu Zhan's family has so much energy, do you want to take the company for yourself after it becomes bigger? Of course, maybe he won't be so unwise, after all, the designer is the first productive force of the brand, but what else can he get from [rhyme]? What can't he give his original position?

"You might as well ask if there's anything someone else can give me." Fu Zhan said with a smile. "In this company, I can use my talents, and the capital beyond my ability is equal to-"

In Qiao Yun's skeptical eyes, he revised his statement, "Okay, it's about zero, I create wealth with my own ability, I don't need to share this money with others, do you think such a genius designer can be found casually?" ”

"Hmm......" No one likes to listen to good words, and Fu Zhan is indeed telling the truth, Qiao Yun is a little embarrassed, "It's not that it's a genius......

"Besides, it's not that I can't perceive beauty without design ability, I also appreciate art, since it's all business, why not join a company that can create beauty?" Fu Zhan looked at her with a smile, "I appreciate your design, don't you feel it?" ”

"Hmm...... It's not that I don't feel it......" Qiao Yun was knocked down by his logic again.

"So what's so strange about that," Fu Zhan said, seeing that Qiao Yun was still thoughtful, he preemptively cut it off, "In the final analysis, you have the ability to design, even if I take the company away, don't you just open a brand after you become famous?" When the time comes, without you, where will I go to become a designer again? ”

Every word was so said that Qiao Yun couldn't refute it, Fu Zhan sighed, a little hated that iron could not become steel, "I don't care about your suspicion - it's good, you have a sense of crisis, and you're very cautious." My opinion to you is that you don't have the confidence to build up to your talents, and that's the root cause of your suspicions beyond common sense. ”

He danced with sharp words in a gentle manner, "It makes me feel ...... You're a little ...... Stupidity. ”

Speaking of stupidity, for the first time, there was a slight change in his tone.

Qiao Yun couldn't help but be horrified, and her pride made her anxious to defend herself, "Of course I'm not unconfident in myself-"

"Is it time to talk about the acquisition?"

“…… OK. Qiao Yun said, bowing her head like a primary school student to be taught, and after a while, she whispered again, "I'm sorry." ”

"Hmm." Fu Zhan nodded, he didn't chase after him - his demeanor was really speechless, and he jumped back to the point, "My opinion is that GA is the best buyer, and we want to sell it now-"

He glanced at Qiao Yun, and continued after Qiao Yun nodded and confirmed, "Then this transaction can be negotiated first and see how the result is, but how to negotiate must of course be carefully considered - there must be serious differences between the buyer and the seller on the valuation of the same subject matter." ”

"You mean valuation?" Qiao Yun asked.

"Valuation is part of it, but it's not too important, GA has a strict valuation process, we can not talk about much premium, and now [rhyme] is still very weak, the pace of expansion should not be too fast, otherwise the financial report will be ugly." Fu Zhan had obviously thought about these things early - his familiarity with the internal processes of the luxury group gave him a meaningless advantage in this matter, "We don't need much investment, and with its good prospects, it is impossible for GA to eat it and buy us out-"

"Of course, financing is the only option." Qiao Yun said categorically. "Externally, we can say that we are under GA, but we have to account for more than 50% of the internal equity."

When she said we, she meant Fu Zhan, Brother Qing and her—strangely, when it came to 'we' at this time, she wasn't as awkward as she was before.

This subtle change may not even be felt by Qiao Yun herself, but Fu Zhan saw it, he glanced at her with a smile, nodded and said, "I think so too, this is where we can talk about - it has nothing to do with money, some relatively virtual things, the right to speak, the development years given to us, and the resources equipped...... These are the things we want from GA, and they are the things we lack the most. ”

"Figuring out what you need is the first and easiest step, and then the difficulty comes - figuring out what the other person wants, what they want, and how much they want." Fu Zhan glanced at her meaningfully and asked inspiringly, "What do you think they want most?" ”

"The Chinese market." Qiao Yun blurted out: This is basically what every luxury brand wants after 2010, and the standard answer will never be wrong.

But this answer didn't seem to satisfy Fu Zhan enough, Qiao Yun saw it in his eyes, didn't wait for him to speak, and said hurriedly, "Of course, there is also [see and buy] - this is a gift!" They've told us exactly what they want. ”

"And we kept our mouth shut, and we didn't tell them anything." Fu Zhan was finally satisfied, a real smile appeared in his eyes, and he clapped lightly while saying, "Mandy's career plan may be a little bumpy, she has always wanted to transfer to the acquisition department, but I think after this incident, Kevin will never agree to her transfer application." She is a brilliant buyer and a negligent acquirer...... In short, now that we know what they want, it will also give us a relatively good position in the next negotiations...... I guess Kevin asked Mandy to write to you directly, just in the hope that something would happen—"

Qiao Yun didn't need him to continue, she had confirmed her core competitiveness in [Yun]. "I don't have time to play with him, there's a lot of stuff on both sides - I'm going to write back to Mandy and ask him to talk to you directly."

The bargaining matter was handed over to Fu Zhan, and he was more knowledgeable. Of course, letting him out does not mean relaxing control, and the specific conditions still need her consent - however, although Fu Zhan still did not reveal her details, somehow, the suspicions that had been lingering in her heart for a long time finally began to slowly relax.

Fu Zhan took in her changes, and a subtle smile appeared on the corner of his lips. "Before replying to the letter, I have to talk to Mr. Chen, he is also a shareholder, and I must ask for his opinion."

"Of course, of course." Qiao Yun was also negligent for a while, and he forgot about Brother Qing - in fact, he would not have a second statement except for agreeing, after all, CY is his and Qiao Yun's money, and it is of course better for the two of them to share it together than to keep lending [Yun], and it is an honor to be injected by GA, and Brother Qing, who wants to do something about it, will not agree.

- But she had to go through the motions, she was a little embarrassed. "I'm going to call him over."

Fu Zhan kept smiling and watched her leave the office, slowly clicking on Kevin's email in his hand.

"Fight with me?" He stared at the screen and whispered to himself, the corners of his lips slowly curling. After thinking about it, he smiled self-deprecatingly again, "Cheap him......"

He was no longer distracted, and with a movement of his fingers, he sent a letter to him. The content of the letter was simple, with only a smiley face.

- If you look closely, this smiling expression is really a bit similar to him. 166 Reading Network
