Chapter 788

"Old Pinot, Henry, welcome!" In Kensington mansion, Li Feng received Pinot and son from Paris.

"Ha ha... Little John, although I have congratulated you on the phone for a long time, I would like to congratulate you again on your successful acquisition of Standard Chartered." Old Pinot smiled back.

The two have had several contacts before. Since the formal merger and cooperation, the relationship has naturally been better. Therefore, in terms of address, Li Feng and Francois, the French rich, are also very casual.

"Ha ha... It's not bad. I'm just lucky. By the way, I think I didn't disappoint Mr. Pino. Now the merger of century shore shahua group has begun. What do you think?" Li Feng said modestly, but the conversation turned and went to the luxury group.

"John, we have a good cooperation. I think we will have a bright future." Old Pino replied with a satisfied smile.

Looking at old Pinot's satisfied smile, Li Feng couldn't help laughing. According to the news received by Li Feng, today's old Pinot is full of spring and boundless scenery,

Although the company is not controlled by Pinot family, Li Feng insisted on his commitment. Pinot personally served as the chairman of the group, and his son served as the president of Paris spring retail group. Pinot and his son, who are in power, have become influential figures in France and even Europe.

In a word, it all started with the super ship Li Feng. Similarly, outsiders have seen the courage of Li Feng, a newly rising super rich and talented young man.

It is impossible for ordinary people to completely delegate power and let the acquisition be directly controlled by the family. Li Feng's reputation has officially entered the ears of those old consortium families in Europe.

……

"By the way, you should know Burberry. What do you think of this brand?" Li Feng suddenly asked with a smile.

"Burberry was naturally a top brand before, but it seems to be getting worse and worse recently. It is said that a new CEO has just been replaced." Old Pinot smiled back.

"Not only that, according to my understanding, burberry is now on the verge of bankruptcy. I now control the retail industry of spring department store. I still know something about Gus, the holding company behind Burberry, which is the second largest retail group in the UK.

However, its subordinate Burberry brought little profit to the retail group. The annual sales of Burberry in 1997 is expected to be around 20 million pounds. It can be said that it is really on the verge of bankruptcy now. " As soon as old Pinot had finished, little Pinot Francois Henry Pinot said.

"Oh... It seems that Henry, you know these fashion brands in Europe very well!" Li Feng replied with a smile.

"John, Henry is really interested in the luxury industry, and at least he says he has done quite well so far." Old Pinot praised his son with satisfaction.

Li Feng has seen a lot of direct praise from Europe and America. In the eyes of European and American parents, if their children do well, they will get direct praise. They will not say "dog" humbly like Chinese parents.

"I have also heard some good rumors and news about Henry. I think the Pinot family has successors." Li Feng smiled and said to old Pinot.

Facing the dialogue between Li Feng, a 17-year-old boy, and his old father, Henry Pino, the former and later leader of Kaiyun group, was embarrassed and speechless.

In short, there is always a strange feeling. After all, Li Feng's age is too deceptive. No one would have thought that such a wonderful flower as Li Feng would appear in the world. After all, who can think of such a mysterious thing as rebirth.

……

"In the evening, the new CEO of Burberry, the CEO and senior management of GUS group will come to the reception. They will get to know each other. You can talk. I am very interested in Burberry. I believe it will be a valuable business." Li Feng finally smiled and said to Pino and his son.

"It's good to really acquire nature. In fact, our product line is still too few. If we want to be comparable to LVMH group, acquiring top brands is naturally the top priority." Little Pinot smiled and responded.

"Yes, in fact, I told you two before that I hope you can look at those top brands in Europe and America after merging, and look for those brands that are not well managed, and consider acquisitions. At least 10 or 20 luxury brands are needed to make our luxury goods group worthy of the name." Li Feng once again told Pino and his son about his plans.

"John, we got news recently that Christie's, the top auction house, seems to be ready to sell. Do you think we should go and have a look?" Old Pino heard Li Feng's words and immediately smiled back.

"Oh, that's good. As a top luxury group, if we have a top auction house in our hands, it's a good supplement; By the way, old Pinot, I've always heard that you have a hobby of collecting works of art. Now I'm also interested in those works of art.

In my opinion, Christie's should aim to get it. First, it can enrich our voice in the industry. Second, if we have the opportunity, we can't get some works of art that others can't get. " Li Feng's eyes turned at this time, but he suggested with a smile.

"Well, in fact, if John is not interested, I am also interested. I have been in touch before. However, in that case, let's buy it in the name of the group. I think the problem should not be big. My relationship with Christie's is pretty good." Old Pinot smiled back.

"You see, it's perfect. Christie's and Burberry have come to the door. By the way, how's Henry and ports getting in touch?" Li Feng just confirmed Christie's and Burberry, but suddenly thought of the treasure of China and asked Henry Pino.

After all, Henry is in charge of spring department store, and baozi is also cooperating with spring department store to develop Paris spring retail business in China. Henry is familiar with Chen Qitai family, so it is most appropriate for him to follow up.

……

"We have contacted them, and they are still a little excited about our ideas. In fact, the cooperation between spring department store and baozi has only just begun. They have just registered a company in Xiangjiang, and the rest are still empty shells.

Baozi hopes to acquire it in the form of cash + equity. Now we are discussing specific details with them. It is expected to take about a month to complete. "

"Is there enough money in the group's account now?"

"John, from your acquisition of Saint Laurent to Gucci, although the company still has some operating funds, it will cost a lot of money to acquire even a second-line brand such as baozi. After all, Baozi has dozens of Direct stores all over the world.

According to today's valuation of baozi, it is about US $200 million. Considering that we take the initiative to make door-to-door acquisitions, we need to improve a little. Even in the form of equity plus cash, it is estimated that it will cost at least US $100 million in cash or more. The group can't take out this money unless it has a bank loan. " Henry Pinot smiled back.

Li Feng naturally knows about baozi's acquisition. After all, there are members of his own negotiation team in the negotiation team. Each negotiation and exchange makes Li Feng fully understand.

"Bank loans are not necessary. We are our own people. I think you know that the financial crisis in Asia is in full swing, and my investment company is busy in Asia. After a while, I'm thinking about how to spend the money in my account. It's not right." Li Feng explained to them with a smile.

"John, I've long heard that you have gained a lot in Asia. It seems that the media reports are not groundless." Old Pino replied with an envious look.

……

"Ha ha... Old Pino, if you are interested, you can try it?"

"Forget it, I don't have the help of your investment group. I'd better run our business honestly."

"Ha ha... Don't regret it!"

"Never regret. Besides, there's nothing to regret. After all, I've never considered this before."

"Also... I'm not sure. It's better not to participate."

"Wow... It seems that you are full of confidence, John."

"This kind of thing, where can have 100% confidence, can only look at luck!"
