Section 72 The Lord of Business 3

readx;? Languedot nodded, took the pipe from his mouth and said, "That's right, commercially." Pen ~ fun ~ cabinet www.biquge.info and political enemies, we can use all political means to deal with them. However, against these money-hungry businessmen, we had better defeat them economically. ”

Brion blinked expectantly, apparently Languedot's answer was the most palatable to his liking. These capitalists cannot be dealt with with violence, but only by their industry. For Brion, who has a lot of assets, it is absolutely achievable to deal with Gribois in a business war. Even if he uses his business to compete with the whole of Lyon City.

There were only two of them, either to crush Gribois's enterprise or to draw with Gribois. Even if Gribois's business fails to defeat Gribois's business, it will be nothing, because even if Gribois's business temporarily blocks the commercial torrent, it will be a heavy loss.

Having said that, Brion, who has always been concerned about commercial trade, is still at a loss for this struggle without gunpowder. After all, it's all in MacDonald's hands, which makes him like a business executor, able to run the entire group's operations steadily. Now, thanks to the addition of Languedot, the consortium has added a market evaluator, or more like a predictor of market direction.

In fact, this old man had already run a powerful company when he was young, but due to fierce competition in the market and policy turmoil in France, he declared bankruptcy. This also makes Languedott proficient in the manipulation of companies and understands the right way to do business.

Of course, it was also because of that bankruptcy that Languedocte understood how cruel business competition can be, and even those new companies that have no strength and no foundation will quickly decay and go bankrupt due to market pressure and business depression.

And those large companies that have always stood still have an important lifeline, that is, monopolizing the market. It's like Gribois's munitions factory, because it has been building up contacts for more than a decade and trying to retain customers. This has led to the collapse of newly listed small companies in an instant due to the pressure of the southern arms market brought by Gribois, which has also been a common occurrence in recent years.

That's why Gribowie has been able to maintain his status as an arms tycoon for more than a decade.

"Gribois, a merchant faction that has been operating in Lyon for many years, has long had a monopoly on arms and all aspects of business in the south. What we have to do is to take over the market and thus squeeze out the Gribois company. Of course, this seems impossible in the near future. Languedot frowned a little wistfully, it was indeed not his forte to deal with such a merchant.

"I think we still have to deal with the weak capitalists first. The merchant group that likes to cling to Gribovie would be a bit of a problem if they became a group to resist our consortium. ”

"Young people really have a very unique vision. Languedot looked approvingly at MacDonald, who had just made his suggestion: "This is a good idea, the Ambrera group should let the hotels and department stores into the city of Lyon as originally planned, and at the same time we can use the assets at hand to buy the enterprises of the small capitalists and dismantle the power that is close to Poitou." But I'm just worried that we don't have that much money. ”

"You don't have to worry about that. ”

It turned out that some uncertainties in Languedotte's heart were instantly cleared by Briand, and the old man really didn't expect that this monarch-like young man would give him so much freedom. And the implicit question just now about funding is to test whether it can be passed.

When it comes to money, Brion now has money. Although a large part of the military expenditure will be spent, who will make his family a big business? In addition, the Ambrila trading company has also opened branches all over France, so that of course the money will be even more profitable.

However, everyone understands that these things are only done to remove some of Gribois's side forces, and the killer weapon that really shakes the big capitalist has not been used at all. As for the effect of this move, it must be that Gribois will lose his money.

And when the time comes, if Gribovis wants to survive, he will have to bow his head and cooperate, of course, the situation at that time will not be up to him.

"Duke, we can do this。。。。。。。 The corners of Languedot's mouth lifted and whispered into Brion's ear.

。。。。。。。

At the beginning of May, with the careful preparation of Brion, the company officially moved into the city of Lyon, and the role of this branch was made a temporary headquarters due to the personal presence of Brion, the owner.

With the entry of the company, Ambrila's business in the city of Lyon has gradually expanded, and it is going very well. This is not only because the Ambrila Group has long been famous in the French financial circles, and its reputation among the common people is quite rich in its complete range of goods, but also because the Banque de France, which has been opened for a long time, uses the contacts and resources it has accumulated over a long period of business to support its own compatriot industry.

So much so that the Ambrila Group quickly became a restaurant in a short period of time. Finance, trade and other aspects occupy several major market shares in the city of Lyon and even in the south. In addition, in order to support the five-star hotel in Ambrila, Briand also allocated public funds for government officials to celebrate holidays or dine in their hotels.

Although this is tantamount to blatant corruption, this is not the case with the officials of this era? Brion's approach was also praised by members of the Senate and city government officials. It can be said that the hotel side already has enough revenue streams, and it will be even more abundant in the future.

Due to the opening of the Ambrila Hotel, the capitalists who are already stretched thin in this industry have no ability to resist such great market pressure. Besides, there is no risk at all in Brion's hotels, and there will be no days when business will dry up, so except for a few hotels with some strength that can support it, there are many star-rated hotels that have long been closed.

Speaking of the trade industry, Ambrila's department stores should be among the largest supermarkets in France, in short, this form of business operation is also Briand's borrowing from modern methods, and it is very popular with the common people. Due to the fact that several department stores in France have made a name for themselves, coupled with the financial base in place, the Ambrila Group has no pressure to occupy one-third of the market in a short period of time.

The remaining small profits in Brion's eyes were fought over by the original trading companies of Lyon, but there were many porridge and few monks, and the meager market interests were not enough than half of the previous interests of these capitalists, so a large number of merchants suffered an unprecedented market blow.

After Brion learned about the situation, he hoped that Ambrinella would monopolize the entire southern market and take all the business into his own hands.

The long-established Banque de France is a good move for Briand, because this cutting-edge bank has made great achievements in the financial world, coupled with the investment is also very good, so that this bank has become one of the top five large enterprises in France.

The most important thing is that as the Banque de France has increased its investment in business, its market share has gradually increased. So much so that the Banque de France can even manipulate the development of the market, and for those merchants who support Gribois, the Banque de France can use the trick of not allowing loans to collapse their funds. Briand was aware of this, and due to the recession of commerce, many merchants had to rely on loans from the Banque de France to survive.

However, they did not think that the loans they borrowed on a daily basis were often enough to cause the company's funds to collapse quickly.

Of course, after the bankruptcies of the capitalists' enterprises, Brion would have ample opportunity to buy their enterprises, which would greatly weaken the trust of the merchants not only in his own power but also in Gribebois, and point them in the right direction by doing so.

For the merchants who were ruined by Brion, Brion was a little sorry for them, but in order to rule in Lyon, he had to sacrifice their interests. After the financial turmoil, Brion could not really bankrupt all the businesses in Lyon, and his main purpose was to unite the merchants under his command. In this way, the relationship between the two classes is linked.

As for Gribeovie's role now, it is actually not very important, but Brion is not ready to completely destroy his military industrial empire, after all, the consortium will definitely not be able to compete with Gribois in the military industry in the near future, if Gribeovis can be subjugated to himself, then the Ambriela Group will open a way in the military industry.

Of course, Gribois is a beast to be tamed, and he can't really stop his ambitions without being reclaimed. What Brion has to do this time is to hurt him, beat him to be afraid, let him hurt once, and he will always remember this life.

。。。。。。。

"Report Duke, we at the Ambrila Group have already achieved amazing results in the city of Lyon and we are on track to double our turnover in the third quarter of next year!"

Listening to MacDonald's answer, Brion smiled wryly, if only the French Revolution could really wait until July next year, now there are less than two months left.

"Also, are you still going to carry out the plans you made with the Gribois Group?" asked MacDonald.

"Of course, we may have to put some discounts. The money should not be touched for the time being, and the orders of the military should not be taken lightly. I would like to go and see our former and present friend, Mr. Gribois, in person. I have a good gift for him on the order from the military. The corners of Brion's mouth raised: "By the way, give me an increase in the investment of the merchants of the Gribovie faction in Lyon City, and I want to control them." Whatever the method, whether it is intimidation or not, it will be done for me. ”
