Chapter 722

Li Feng is really interested in what Li Zekai said about Yongdao office. It doesn't mean how much money Yongdao office can make. People implement the partner franchise system.

In fact, looking at the high operating income of PricewaterhouseCoopers, most of them are still the following partners to make money. Each PricewaterhouseCoopers firm is an independent legal entity. For the founder's family, it is just a reputation.

Through such a world-class firm, for Li Feng, making money is the second, and the established contacts and global cooperation are the most important resources. PwC, as one of the four largest firms in the world, is still very outstanding.

For the accounting firm of Xiangjiang mentioned by Li Zekai, Li Feng's first thought is Yongdao's Yongdao office. After all, Li Feng has heard of the later merger of PWC and Yongdao into PwC office.

Naturally, in this life, I have a certain understanding of PWC and Yongdao office, and will not make some common sense mistakes. For example, when I was a little fart in my previous life, Li Feng once thought that Yongdao office was founded by Mr. Rong Yongdao.

In fact, until this life, with the continuous expansion of Li Feng's company scale and several cooperation with several major accounting firms, Li Feng had a certain understanding of PWC and Yongdao.

……

PwC, the English abbreviation of PWC in later generations, is the first letter set of the surnames of the three founders. PW represents Pricewaterhouse international firm founded in Britain in the 19th century.

C is also the first letter of the surname of Cooper Cooper, which was founded in Britain in the 19th century, and C in today's C & & L (Yongdao firm).

In the 1950s and 1960s, Cooper brothers, LRB & & M in the United States and McDonalds guriel in Canada merged into Yongdao firm (C & & L).

As for why it is called PwC in China, there is also the credit of Rong Yongdao, the partner of Yongdao firm in Xiangjiang. From the 1980s and 1990s, PwC and Yongdao entered the Chinese market one after another.

Yongdao firm was originally called Coopers & & Lybrand, and "laibrand" in Cantonese means "benefit does not come". Rong Yongdao, as a Xiangjiang partner of C & & L, said the name was unlucky and opposed the English translation of the Chinese name.

Finally, Rong Yongdao, the big man in Xiangjiang's accounting field, simply proposed to call it "Yongdao". Naturally, at first, the global partners of C & & L opposed this name. You want to use your name as a Hong Kong person to replace the name of a century old store. It seems crazy to foreigners.

From the final result, Rong Yongdao is successful. It is said that after more than a year of correspondence and telephone exchanges with global partners such as Britain and the United States, Rong Yongdao has had an all-round debate on cultural differences.

Finally, Yongdao firm was recognized by them and took a step towards the localization of international accounting firms in China. Later, with the merger of PWC and Yongdao, it created the brilliance of PWC, one of the early five largest accounting firms in the world.

……

In his previous life, Li Feng only knew that Rong Yongdao founded Yongdao accounting firm in Xiangjiang, and then PwC cooperated with Yongdao. He had always thought that Yongdao office was founded by Rong Yongdao.

After contact in this life, I learned that the very Chinese name "PwC" comes from this. At the same time, I learned that Rong Yongdao of Xiangjiang is not the founder of Yongdao office at all, but just a Xiangjiang partner of Yongdao office.

Li Feng also admires Rong Yongdao, a big man in Xiangjiang's accounting field. After all, it is conceivable how difficult it is to let these foreigners accept their own names to name their accounting firms, although it is only a title in China rather than a global title.

Now Mr. Rong Yongdao has retired. He is indeed a cow. He is said to be one of the members of the Drafting Committee of the basic law of Xiangjiang. He is a top celebrity in both political and business circles of Xiangjiang.

Therefore, when Li Zekai said it was possible to acquire Yongdao office, Li Feng was still very interested. However, Li Feng also knew how difficult it was.

Just think that as long as we use the name PwC in China, we can't bypass the person and name of Rong Yongdao. This is an opportunity to remain famous in history.

After thinking about the situation of PWC and Yongdao, we can guess the result. There is little expectation for the acquisition and the possibility of acquisition is too small.

If it is only the partner firm of Rong Yongdao of Xiangjiang, it is possible. It is almost impossible to acquire all Yongdao firms in the world.

These firms adopt the partner joining system. If you want to buy all of them, you have to talk to each partner one by one. Who has the energy.

……

In the next two days, Li Feng made arrangements for Gucci and Saint Laurent, including the shares of the two companies and the shares controlled by the holding companies.

Tom Ford also gave up the shares of Saint Laurent and changed them into the shares of the holding company. The shares were diluted to 3% of the head office. Including the option setting of the rest of the management. Similarly, on the bright side, Li Feng controls 10% of the shares.

Secondly, the management of the two brands remained and began to have a comprehensive understanding of the two companies through Deloitte and its appointed board members.

Finally, after another three days, Li Feng, who made up a little and changed his appearance, took two beautiful ladies and sisters around the great beauty of Greater Paris.

The Louvre, Notre Dame Cathedral, the tower, the Arc de Triomphe, the palace of Versailles, the Champs Elysees, Paris spring and other world-famous places for leisure tourism and fashion shopping have welcomed Li Feng and two beauties.

Similarly, in the past few days, Li Feng also received Li Zekai's analysis on the acquisition possibility of Yongdao office. As Li Feng himself analyzed, Xiangjiang Yongdao office is possible, but it is not possible in the world.

Another point is that Li Superman sent a message through Li Zekai. Both the Qiu family and the Xiangjiang Bao family in Singapore have been contacted. Li Feng was asked to return to Xiangjiang as soon as possible and said that he can contact them.

Li Feng also knows the importance of slag hit shares. According to historical understanding, it is almost impossible to get the shares in the hands of the Qiu family. Li Feng can only do it himself. However, the Bao family can let bill or Li Shanquan contact him first through Li Superman.

……

Similarly, in recent days, the news of Gucci group's change of ownership has spread all over Europe, and the news that Gucci is ready to delist in both major exchanges has also spread all over Europe. As for the new owner, it has also begun to spread. It is Li Feng, the newly rising super tycoon.

This is also the reason why Li Feng needs to make up and dress up when traveling in recent days. Otherwise, there will always be trouble to be recognized, and playing will become a joke.

With the spread of the news, especially the crazy spread in the US empire, Li Feng's influence in the US empire increased again.

As a superpower, Los Angeles and New York are the entertainment and fashion centers of the world, but the top fashion brands, to be honest, are more popular in Europe, which is still unpleasant in the hearts of most American emperors.

It has to be said that the people of Meidi are actually very proud in their hearts. When the news came that Meidi's super rich could buy top fashion brands in Europe, it naturally won the hearts of ordinary people.

In recent days, the news in Europe and the United States has been very lively. They are all reporting on Li Feng's acquisition of Gucci. Naturally, people in the European fashion circle feel that "the wolf is coming", while the US emperor naturally expresses praise and pride.

......

On this day, the party gathered in the lobby, and the hotel service staff were busy carrying the luggage of Li Feng and his party into the car. Obviously, Li Feng's leisure day is coming to an end.

"John, we're going to visit Henry Jaye now?" Li Zekai asked Li Feng.

"Of course, make a quick decision. Whether you succeed or fail, go back to Xiangjiang as soon as possible. I'm going to visit Qiu and Bao."

"OK, let's go!" Little Superman naturally understood what Li Feng said about Qiu Bao's two families and agreed to reply.

"Sister Qing, sister min, let's go!"

"Well... I've wanted to see it for a long time!"
