[Important to go home, miss my big screen computer!] Although it was three or four years ago, it is still considered a mid-to-high-end configuration! Start the normal update today - remember to forgive me for the speed of the update]

[Also, the progress is too slow, this has something to do with my pen and the chaos of my thoughts, I will do my best to finish this volume!] 】

"Although the chairman's mention is good, it's just a little too early to bring it up now! Now, Bernard and Vivendi Global have almost seen what we really do! When Fan Xue and her entourage walked out of the headquarters of Vivendi Global Group, the financial advisor who was responsible for providing her with M&A strategies was very worried and tactfully offered his own views.

"I know, but Electronic Arts and other peers are like sharks that smell fishy, and they may intervene in this capital merger and acquisition at any time; Some notorious private equity funds and other speculators in the world are also eyeing me from the sidelines, and I can't help but feel worried! Fan Xue sighed and used fluent English to solve the doubts of her subordinates, and the pretty Lijing was contaminated with deep worry and helplessness.

There is a more important reason why Fan Xue can't say it, that is, she hopes to make a breakthrough before Song Chen personally intervenes! If she can complete this merger and acquisition independently, then it will greatly improve her ** and status in the Chenxing Culture Group and the Song family, not just relying on the pillow wind or the "mistress political zhì" who sits in a high position with a good posture!

Fan Xue had already learned from Song Chen that he would come to Paris in the near future, which is why she was impatient to throw out the final acquisition target today. Just looking at Bernard's attitude, it is obvious that he still has to sit on the ground, and the chances of taking over the game division of Vivendi Global Group alone are becoming more and more slim.

"Maybe we can work with a competitor!" The financial advisor said suddenly.

Fan Xue was stunned, turned her head sideways at the financial advisor and asked with interest, "Cooperation?" Interesting, what kind of cooperation method? ”

The financial advisor spread his hands, shrugged his shoulders and said, "It's very simple, take what you need!" We're not the only ones who think Vivendi Global Group is talking big, so why not join forces to win the acquisition target? ”

Take what you need...... This unique M&A strategy made Fan Xue stunned. Her charming eyes grew brighter, and just as she was turning her mind to think about the feasibility of this strategy, her blonde secretary whispered in her ear, "Chairman, the boss is here!" ”

Boss? Fan Xue was stunned again, she could make Chenxing call her "boss" without naming him, there was only one person!

Fan Xue looked up, but saw that a Bentley sedan was already parked at the door of Vivendi Global Group, and a man and a woman were clearly visible sitting in the open back seat window, and a man was nodding at him with a smile - not Song Chen, who else?

At this moment, a trace of helplessness flashed in Fan Xue's eyes. There are surprises and apprehensions in the heart, and there are mixed flavors.

……

Sitting on the desk, the chairman of the board of directors of Vivendi Global Group Jean? Reina hugged his chest and asked, "Bernard, what do you think about the establishment of the Chenxing Culture Group?" ”

Let? Bernard? Levillo groaned: "Despite the careful concealment of their true goals, it looks like this woman is ...... from today's signs Or maybe the man behind her came prepared, I'm afraid they are more interested in Blizzard Entertainment and Snow Mountain! ”

Reina spread his hands and said: "Blizzard Entertainment's achievements in the past few years are indeed eye-catching! If we had the time, this company could be a shining gem in the gaming industry! ”

The boss's words made Levy hesitate.

Let? Bernard? Although Levy has his own views on the restructuring of the Vivendi Global Group. divested the peripheral business, and did not hesitate to raise the stick of layoffs...... However, if it is really an asset with extremely high growth value, he is not willing to make a short-sighted decision!

But now it seems. Whether it is the board of directors or the capital market, it has put a lot of pressure on them! Although he hasn't said anything yet, let? Bernard? Levi could already see that his boss wanted to sell the game business in exchange for a rare breathing room for the group - and of course, for the sake of his boss, including his own political achievements!

Unless the sale of the core infrastructure of the Vivendi Global Group or the assets of the entertainment industry. Otherwise, the gaming sector is currently the most interested part of the business that international giants are bidding on.

Levy retracted what he wanted to say and asked, "Do you want to talk to EA's representatives and the PEs who made the takeover offer?" ”

To Levi's surprise. His boss shook his head and said, "No! Let's talk to Chenxing Culture Group first! ”

"Why?" Levi's expression was astonished.

Let? Reina smiled bitterly, patted Levy on the shoulder and said, "Bernard, we need cash, not damn stocks!" In this world, only Song Chen, a nouveau riche who has earned billions of dollars in this Internet bubble, likes to use cash without the help of financial leverage! ”

Levy knew it.

Far from Alibaba, the acquisition of the French Compass e-commerce company; Recently, Chenxing Network acquired portal assets, and Chenxing Culture Group acquired Marvel and DC, the two major comic giants, all of which were completed with cash, which is no wonder that Song Chen gave the world the impression of a "nouveau riche" who buys and buys.

In view of the financial situation of Vivendi Global Group on the verge of bankruptcy, the wealthy Chenxing Culture Group should indeed be the top priority negotiation object!

"I see!" Levy nodded.

"Bernard, pay attention to the tricks, we don't have much time!" Let? Reina's expression became solemn.

Levy smiled slightly: "I know! Although Chenxing Culture Group is still our best choice, I think we still need to talk to the speculators of EA and private equity funds, especially the latter, who may have much more money at their disposal than Song Chen! ”

"But they are as cunning and vicious as wolves, and they don't have the courage of Song Chen who doesn't hesitate once they decide, I'm afraid they will drag us to the moment of bankruptcy!" Let? Reina shook his head, then said with a smile, "However, it's not a bad thing to get in touch, at least put strong pressure on Song Chen's mistress!" Presumably, she is as serious about this acquisition as I am! She's just as desperate as we need to boost her prestige and gain a foothold in the group, isn't she? ”

"That's what I thought too!"

……

When Vivendi Global called Fan Xue's secretary to discuss the time of the negotiations, they received a surprising reply: Chenxing Culture Group had decided to put the negotiations on hold for the time being.

When I asked the reason, the answer I got was Lingrang? Bernard? Levy couldn't laugh or cry: because Song Chen is here, and now he is taking his mistresses to Italy again! As for the negotiators of Chenxing Culture, they were given at least two weeks of publicly-funded travel!

At first, Levi thought that the other party was similar to his hero's vision, and he was putting pressure on the other party. However, he soon heard the news from the mouths of the Parisian celebrities who knew him that Song Chen had indeed arrived in Europe, and that he had left France for Italy with his two mistresses in a low-key manner after spending a day in Paris.

Going to Italy? What did Song Chen do in Italy?

But soon, Levi reacted: this is still putting pressure on himself! It's just that compared to the cautious Fan Xue, Song Chen's way is direct and rude, and even a little rude!

Let? Bernard? Levi had thought that the initiative was in his own hands, but now it seems that his idea was overly optimistic.

……

Viareggio, Italy, 7 August 2002.

For Chinese, whether it's the English name Viareggio or its Chinese name Viareggio, this small Italian coastal city is not easy to remember.

Like the famous Florence, Viareggio is also located in Tuscany, Italy.

Every summer, when crowds from all over the world flock to Florence, the citizens of the birthplace of the Renaissance are accustomed to "migrating" to Viareggio, where they will be fascinated by its long, pristine beaches, charming and secluded streets, and a variety of activities.

Viareggio is like a back garden in Florence.

The meandering coastline not only outlines the grace of Viareggio, but also forms an excellent harbor that not only fills the seaside resort, but also gives birth to another gold mine.

The city's history dates back to the first half of the 16th century, and the shipbuilding era began about two hundred years ago.

Today, Viareggio is one of the world's most important yacht producers: 20% of the world's recreational vessels over 24 metres in length are built here every year, and 40% of Italy's mega yachts are built here.

In this coastal city, whose population is equivalent to a small town in China, one out of every 12 people you meet is engaged in shipbuilding-related industries, and yachting has organized an unusually amazing industrial chain in the local area, and these thousands of people are scattered among thousands of companies or workshops related to yacht manufacturing.

Among them, there are the headquarters of 43 Italian superyacht brands, and the famous names and logos of Azimut-Benetti, PeriniNavi, Rossinavi, Codecasa, Sanlorenzo, Overmarine, FIPA, etc., are prominently displayed in the yacht manufacturing area.

If you eat at Porto near the marina or at any restaurant near the marina, you will be met by people who work for the yacht factory, and even if you come from different brands, it is natural to share a table. Here, everyone is a neighbor, whether it's a mega brand or a family business that has just carved its ground in the yachting industry.

Kilometers of sandy beaches stretch to the north, with Massa to the north, the majestic marble mountains; To the south, you'll see a dot of pleasure boats, sailboats, and ferries; There are not many cars on the city streets, and most of the people who are used to walking and biking are dressed coolly, men only wear a pair of shorts, most of them lead a big dog, and women even wear only bikinis, which is leisurely.

What made Song Chen laugh was that this person even included his friend Chen Daohui and his younger brother Chen Daobang. (To be continued......)
