Chapter 740

"From the information you collected, it is obvious that Allianz's acquisition of AGF is almost a foregone conclusion. I don't think you can't see it. Now that you have reached the present situation, I think you might as well find a way to deal with Allianz Group if you want the shares of Spring Department Store in the hands of AGF insurance."

"Allianz, I have no friends." Li Feng shrugged and smiled.

"Come on, you can always find it, can't you. Besides, AGF insurance group has not been formally acquired, and the contract agreement has not been signed. You said that at this time, a consortium suddenly showed interest in AGF. What do you think of the French government and how Allianz will respond? Maybe Allianz came directly to the door. " After listening to Li Feng's words, Li Zekai speechless gave an idea.

"Ah... Yes, if people take the initiative to come to the door, they can take the initiative." Li Feng's eyes lit up and then said to himself.

After listening to Li Feng's leisurely "Ge You paralysis" and shaking a red wine glass to himself, Li Zekai, a little Superman, couldn't help looking white and thinking, it's really shameless.

"Richard, you are really my Mr. Zhuge, but I don't think it's time to let someone contact you for the time being. When the trip to Xiangjiang is over, the shares of Standard Chartered Bank are announced, and even Standard Chartered is pocketed, then it's the best time." Li Feng said with a smile.

"Yes, you have acquired some luxury goods before. This time, the acquisition of Standard Chartered is revealed, which can show your ambition, and the relationship between banks and insurance groups is closer. However, John, why did you directly involve Huamei bank? "

"It's not the time yet..." Li Feng said with a smile.

“…”

Listening to Li Feng's speechless feeling, little Superman has an impulse to hit people again. If little Superman also comes from later generations, seeing Li Feng's appearance, it is estimated that he can't resist the irony that "bitches are hypocritical.".

……

"John, what do you think of the spring department store in China?" At this time, Li Zekai suddenly looked at the spring department store in China in the document and asked with a smile.

"This is a good project. I am optimistic about the economy and real estate in the mainland of China. I think you Changjiang industry and Hutchison Whampoa are in full swing in the mainland. Obviously, you are also optimistic. What do you think of the prospects of high-end shopping centers such as spring department stores in the mainland in the future? Do you want us to cooperate?" Li Feng replied with a smile.

"Er... John, should you consider how to put the spring department store in your pocket at this time, otherwise the so-called high-end shopping center has nothing to do with you." Li Zekai replied unhappily.

"It doesn't matter. Even if I don't have money in the spring department store, it will matter. Look at my Gucci, Saint Laurent, etc., as well as the top luxury brands in Europe and America in the future. It's cooperation even if it can't be acquired, isn't it?" Li Feng replied with a smile.

"Well, you're good, you can!"

After listening to Li Feng's words, Li Zekai was speechless and could only raise his thumb to show that you are powerful and I admire you.

"Haha... Am I wrong? If spring department store doesn't have the products of my luxury group, it's incomplete. It's still a high-end luxury shopping center, isn't it?"

“…”

"Ha ha..."

……

Li Zekai said that China's domestic spring department store, Li Feng also learned after reading the data. As early as 1996, spring department store established China Paris Spring Department Store Group in Xiangjiang. Naturally, spring department store did not have such strength to develop independently at that time. Yes, it's called Spring Department Store in Europe, and it's called "Paris spring" in China.

At that time, spring department store was preparing to launch the first spring department store retail project in Mordor, and then jointly launched by Mordor's Spring Department store, Paris headquarters and baozi international.

Later generations, in order for spring department store to be listed, financial giants such as Citigroup and British 3I group were introduced. At present, Paris spring department store headquarters, magic capital local and baozi international are combined. Later, magic capital spring department store was also acquired by baozi.

Seeing here, Li Feng immediately saw a famous fashion brand in later generations, that is baozi.

Li Feng had only heard about baozi in his previous life, and the specific situation was not clear until he read the introduction of baozi in the document. Li Feng knew that he had always thought it was a European and American brand. Unexpectedly, this enterprise actually belongs to China.

In the 1960s, the founder of baozi was originally a "global dreamer". People pursued the lifestyle of "swimming in the Sahara desert in the morning and having dinner in New York in the evening". The famous "No. 10 white shirt" is baozi's trademark.

Just like apple of later generations, Baozi took a fancy to the domestic cheap labor force at that time, and the Canadian Chinese Xiangjiang businessman Chen Qitai family OEM baozi's products for baozi, and had a very good relationship with the founder of baozi.

In 1989, the founder of baozi was ready to retire and sell baozi, and the Chen Qitai family took the opportunity to buy Baozi and set up the group headquarters in Xiamen.

......

The final result is that the Chen Qitai family has been successful. Baozi has lasted for many years anyway. It is the first high-end clothing brand in mainland China. However, with the rise of Internet retail and the entry of major foreign luxury brands into the domestic market, the profits continue to decline.

This is also no way. Although baozi first grasped that the top luxury goods abroad were still too expensive, did not fully enter the empty window period of the mainland market, and occupied the domestic high-end market at that time with relatively people-friendly prices, Baozi has always been known as a "fake foreign brand".

With the rise of domestic economy, when Internet retail interest and various top brands from all over the world such as LV, Gucci, Armani and Versace pour into the domestic market, Chinese people have more and more brands to choose, and baozi's leading position in the high-end field is constantly challenged.

Finally, I can't fight others, and it looks weaker and weaker. Later generations seem to have ended the clothing business, and even packaged and sold the retail business of spring department store, which is a comprehensive exit.

In fact, the price of baozi is very advantageous and belongs to a medium and high-end brand. Unfortunately, Baozi has been wearing the hat of "fake foreign brand" since it was acquired by Xiangjiang Chen Qitai family, resulting in baozi finally becoming an embarrassing position.

Li Feng even thought that if baozi were a European and American brand, perhaps its situation in China would be better. It has to be said that in the field of medium and high-end fashion and luxury consumption, Chinese people still superstitious about foreign brands.

......

At first, under the leadership of Canadian businessmen, Baozi was an international top fashion brand, and Hollywood stars would patronize it one after another. However, since baozi was acquired by Chen Qitai family, it focused on Asia and even China.

Although, from the early financial statements, it was more and more prosperous because it occupied the domestic high-end brand at that time, in terms of long-term brand, it lost the popular symbols of Europe and America, and baozi increasingly became a domestic local brand.

Thinking of this, Li Feng couldn't help laughing and said to Li Zekai, "Richard, what do you think of baozi?"

"John, isn't it? You won't like it?"
