Chapter 175: Negotiation

Marseille is a 2,500-year-old city, the second largest city and largest seaport in France, and the capital of Provence, a place of great interest for all the petty bourgeoisie.

The port of Marseille is divided into the old port and the new port, the old port in the city's harbor and now a marina for yachts. The new port district is located to the west of the city and is the second largest port in Europe after the port of Rotterdam in the Netherlands.

The French national anthem "La Marseillaise" was born here, of course, for Zhuang Mingge, "La Marseillaise" left the deepest impression on him was Benzema's refusal to sing, and this benevolent brother even moved out of the great god Zidane for what he did.

Marseille is also an important town for thousands of years when goods from the East have been imported into the West, so the city of Marseille is filled with a mixed exotic atmosphere. Different faiths and cultures such as Islam and Catholicism are intermingled here, and it is full of freedom and pleasure.

When you first arrive in Marseille, you may be a little dismissive of the city, which looks too unremarkable, with unplanned streets and graffiti on the sidewalks, which makes people feel that the whole city is lazy and chaotic. But Marseille is cool and sweet, in the old port of Marseille, the white sails and the fluttering shadows in the flowing water, the high blue sky, the French posters on the pier, the beautiful babies in the strollers and their elegant and leisurely mothers, all remind you that this is the Marseille of Provence, the ultimate place that embraces the rich Mediterranean style and romantic French temperament.

In these days of waiting for the rabbit, Zhuang Mingge accompanied little Groz around the streets and alleys of Marseille, as well as the famous tourist attractions of Marseille.

Although when visiting the Cathedral of Our Lady of Garde, Zhuang Mingge was attacked by little Groz's eyes and feet because he asked "Is this statue of Our Lady made of pure gold", but in general, the days of playing in Marseille these days are relatively peaceful.

It was the fourth day that Zhuang Mingge and Groz Jr. had arrived in Marseille, and the two were discussing their next steps in a small room in the manor.

"Rebecca, do you think we want to stay here in Marseille? According to what you said, the other party should now send someone to take the initiative to negotiate with us. ”

"Cut, who knows. Maybe this bunch of crap is arguing in the conference room for a little bit of their own benefit. Little Grosz was also very unhappy with the slow response of Crédit Lyonnais, and in her opinion, Lyon should have sent someone over the day after she reached a debt transfer agreement with Tapi, "I should have sent them another message, saying that if no one comes to us within 24 hours, please ask them to go and explain it to the judicial department themselves......

While little Groz was babbling about the low productivity of the French, a belated phone call interrupted her complaints.

"Hello?" Little Groz answered the phone with an impatient face, "That's right, I'm Rebecca Groz." ”

"Oh, you're finally in Marseille, and just now I was wondering if I should invite a few of your country's judicial departments to come to Marseille for black tea."

"Well, Haode, that's it, we'll meet at your hotel at nine o'clock tomorrow morning." After speaking, Little Groz pressed the hang up button, turned his little head to Zhuang Mingge, and said, "Tomorrow we can talk to that group of French about the transfer of Adidas." ”

"......" through these days of getting along, Zhuang Mingge has deeply felt the "love" of business in the bones of Little Groz, her goal is not to make money, but to enjoy the fun brought to her by the process of making money, or when Zhuang Mingge asked her to "cooperate" in the past, she could rely on the strong financial resources of the Groz family behind her to obtain more benefits.

……

The next day, Zhuang Mingge and Groz Jr. went to the Hilton branch in Marseille, where they would have an unentrenched negotiation with representatives of Crédit Lyonnais.

After all, when Grosz Jr. put on the negotiating table all the evidence that Crédit Lyon used deceptive and even commercial fraud in the acquisition of Adidas' shares, the Frenchman, who boasted that he was the best in the world in terms of loan sharks, had to obediently bow down in front of Grosz Jr.

What the French will face next will be an unusually painful "cut-and-flesh" negotiation. After all, these negotiators also saw that even if Groz Jr. had such conclusive evidence in his hands, he was still willing to sit at the negotiating table with himself and others, which meant that the other party had no intention of sending all the people on the Lyon side to prison.

With the initiative firmly in control of the negotiation, Zhuang Mingge, who acted as a crowd of onlookers playing soy sauce, found that Xiao Groz sitting at the negotiation table was in two completely different states from the one he usually had in front of him.

"No, no, no! If you want us to transfer 70% of Adidas shares to you completely free of charge, Miss Groz, we will never agree to this plan! ”

"And what are the conditions you give? Let's hear it. Little Groz seemed to have expected that the other party would resist stubbornly, and the corner of his left mouth quietly curved a little, and asked in a calm tone.

"You can pay $100 million to buy 30 percent of our Adidas shares, and then we can sign a private subscription agreement, and when Adidas goes public in the U.S., you can also acquire enough shares." The people at Crédit Lyon were quick to make their own proposals.

"Hehe, you guys are really good at calculating, first sell us 30% of the shares at a cheap price of 100 million US dollars, and then sell the rest of the shares at the market price, with the current development momentum of Adidas, even if there are only 40% of the shares, it is enough for you to make a lot of money."

The other party's face changed after hearing Little Groz's analysis, and he forced a smile: "Ha, haha, is it?" ”

"First of all, you have to make it clear that we have gathered enough strong evidence for the methods you used before, so what we are asking for now is compensation, not what you said you were buying!"

"$100 million to sell you 30% of the shares is enough to serve as a ......" the representative of Crédit Lyonnais did not give up, trying to do Zuihou's struggle, but was quickly extinguished by Groz Jr.

"Are you fooling us? In such an incident that borders on commercial fraud, you want to send us away with tens of millions of dollars? When little Groz said this, his apricot eyes widened, and he said quite domineeringly.

"Uh...... What do you mean, Miss Rebecca? "Under pressure from Little Groz, representatives of the Crédit de Lyon finally announced their surrender.
