"John, you see, your name is also John, and I'm also John. It's too coincidental. Even God is helping us. I hope we can make friends." After introducing each other and joking, Li Feng suddenly smiled and joked to the people and Zhuang Sibei.
"Ha ha... If so, there are too many people named John. We can't know each other." Zhuang Sibei also replied with a smile and joke.
"Hehe... Since you are familiar with old Pinot, it would be great. I really have something to talk to you about, such as Bobbly. Do you want us to find a quiet place to talk?" Li Feng finally went straight to the theme.
"Burberry? John, it's no use looking for me. No, Ms. Bravo is the protagonist! "
"John, you are too polite. Who didn't know that you are the chairman of bobley group, the director of great universal stores (Gus Daquan) and your Experian company, but you are well-known large enterprises in the industry." Li Feng replied with a faint smile and a look that I know you very well.
"Ha ha... Well, John, I accept your compliment. Let's find a place to sit down and talk?" Replied johnsbee, laughing.
"OK, let's go to another villa. There's a reception hall over there. Let's sit down and talk slowly." Li Feng, Zhuang Sibei and bravo.
"Please...!"
"Please...!"
“…”
……
The party arrived at the corridor through the banquet hall and looked at the art portraits on the corridor, especially Li Feng's own portraits, which made everyone laugh at Li Feng.
At the reception tonight, in addition to Villa 19 as the main venue of the reception, there are also open-air parties in the big garden outside the villa, even including Li Feng's own villa on the 18th. Facing the corridor, there is a small banquet hall. When Li Feng and his party entered, more than 10 people sat quietly chatting on the facade.
When the people inside saw Li Feng and others coming, they were surprised and greeted one after another. Li Feng finally took the people through the small banquet hall, motioned to the security personnel at the gate of the banquet hall, and passed through the gate to the private living room.
They joked and chatted again. After everyone drank the top Blue Mountain coffee sent by the villa servant, as Li Feng placed the coffee on the coffee table next to him, they all stopped talking and looked at Li Feng together.
"Ms. Bravo, as far as I know, you just took office this year. Before that, Boboli fell into a trough. I don't know whether you are confident to bring it out of the trough or even to the peak." Li Feng said to the new CEO with a smile.
"John, just call me Mary. Now that I have accepted this job, I am naturally full of confidence in Burberry. Of course, it requires a lot of support from Sir Alex."
"OK, Mary, it seems that you have full confidence in Burberry. That's great. John, Mary is my hometown in America. You need more support!"
"Hehe... That's natural. Otherwise, the board of directors would not appoint Mary as CEO. We look forward to it very much!"
"As long as John and the company can support me, I believe I will not disappoint you and the board of directors." Bravo smiled confidently and replied to Li Feng and Zhuang Sibei.
……
"OK, I thought Mary could help Burberry turn losses into profits. I heard that Burberry had difficulties in its development. As you know, I established a fashion luxury group with Pinot Noir and are vigorously acquiring fashion brands. Pinot Noir proposed to me that Burberry is a top brand and a good acquisition object in the UK, I wonder if Gus is willing to sell? " Li Feng said directly.
"John, Duke Gerald reminded me before. I didn't expect we were right. You really had an idea for bobley."
"I'm mainly confident in Bravo, and I'm still an American fellow. I want to buy bravo. I'll give Bravo the greatest support and change the current situation of bobley. Of course, it needs the willingness of you and GUS."
"John, I heard that your Burberry turnover this year is up to about US $20 million, which can be described as a serious loss. Why do you completely throw away this mess? Besides, we are also willing to cooperate with Gus company. All brands of the group can cooperate with Gus group." Pinot Noir suddenly interposed and advised johnsby.
"I think since you want to buy Burberry, you should be optimistic about its development. Since we all agree, why should we sell it?"
"There is no contradiction between optimistic and selling. I think we should all understand that optimistic is just optimistic. It is like a gamble. No one knows whether to lose or win until the final result is clear. We just gamble when we set up a luxury group.
For you, today's bobley is obviously a pus. I don't believe that the management, board of directors and shareholders of GUS will be united. John, for you, it's just another holding company. You are still the chairman of bobley group, including Bravo woman.
Besides, John, you should believe the meaning and strength represented by the name of St. John Lee. With the support of the group, bobley will develop better than Gus. " Old Pino replied with a smile.
"Wow... Old Pinot, old friend, you are really... But you should understand that Burberry is not standard chartered or a listed company. You can't force the acquisition!"
"Burberry isn't, but isn't Gus?" Wu Jianmin broke in with a smile.
Although it is a joke, but this is more like a threat. After all, Gus is facing a financial giant such as Standard Chartered. If the forces represented by Li Feng target Gus, Gus will be in trouble. After all, it is a listed company. If it is targeted by Li Feng's investment company and financial group, the stock market will not feel better.
……
"Is this a threat?" Zhuang Sibei asked Li Feng with a smile.
"No, sir, this is just a fact. I think you, as an elite in the financial industry, should be very clear that I have such strength. You can truthfully convey all my words to the board of directors and shareholders of GUS company, can't you?" Li Feng replied strongly at this time.
"Mr. John, I will truthfully tell the board of directors what you said. Although I am the chairman of Burberry group, such a thing still needs the holding company Gus to make a decision. Here, I can't give you any guarantee." Zhuang Sibei resumed his smile and responded to Li Feng.
"John, I wonder if you are interested in working for Standard Chartered. Now the company still lacks a non-executive director and a vice chairman of the group." At this time, Li Feng, on behalf of Standard Chartered Bank, sent an invitation to Zhuang Sibei.
"Vice chairman and independent non-executive director of Standard Chartered Bank Group?" Asked johnsbee, surprised in his heart.
"Of course, sir, I know you have rich experience in finance and retail. It must be a very good cooperation for standard chartered to invite you. Moreover, I can promise that as long as Sir has made outstanding achievements in Standard Chartered, I can reserve the position of chairman of Standard Chartered group in the UK in the future." Li Feng promised again.
As Li Feng's words fell, everyone was surprised. Wu Jianmin and others were also surprised. Li Feng didn't talk about it with everyone. No wonder they were surprised.
