There is no doubt that Li Feng's proposal has a lot of temptation to Zhuang Sibei. From Zhuang Sibei's meditation, it can be seen that although Zhuang Sibei is also a successful person, it would be very different if he became the top leader of Standard Chartered group compared with his achievements of Burberry and Experian.
"John, you really have a problem for me!" After pondering for a while, Zhuang Sibei couldn't help smiling bitterly at Li Feng.
"Ha ha..."
"John, I think I should congratulate you. Maybe we can become colleagues in the future!" Old Pino secretly praised Li Feng's means in his heart, but he couldn't help joking and comforting again.
"Come on, old Pino, it's not easy for your partner and the son of fortune of Meidi to take the position. It's not so easy for the vice chairman of the board of directors of Standard Chartered group." Zhuang Sibei smiled bitterly again.
Obviously, no one sitting here is a fool. Li Feng actually knows what he means. If he wants to become the vice chairman and independent non-executive director of Standard Chartered, he can, as long as Burberry is successfully acquired.
……
Similarly, at this time, rose mary Bravo, Li Feng's American compatriot, looked at Li Feng and Zhuang Sibei with great interest. Obviously, Ms. Mary was very curious and wondered whether her immediate boss Zhuang Sibei could resist Li Feng's call.
Bravo actually has a indifferent attitude towards Li Feng's acquisition of Burberry. First, he has just taken office. Although he has become the CEO of the group, he is still a minor person. After all, he has not made achievements. The large and small shareholders of the group are not completely relieved of themselves.
Li Feng expressed his support for himself at the beginning. If he could get 100% support from his boss, it would be too much help for him to operate and manage the enterprise. Seriously, it was really bought by Li Feng. Bravo was happy to agree in his heart.
After all, Li Feng's ambition for the luxury industry is obvious. Otherwise, people would not set up the century other shore shahua group. Now in the fashion luxury industry, Li Feng, a sudden wealth predator, has caused a shock in the industry.
From Li Feng's actions, we can see that he ran directly to challenge LV, Lifeng and other luxury groups. It would be great for Bravo to have the full support of such a big man.
Rich, interested in the luxury industry, willing to invest, and willing to delegate power. As enterprise managers and professional managers, they should look for such bosses.
Perhaps, there is another point that is also in the minds of the compatriots of the United States and the Empire. After all, the compatriots have acquired the top brands in Britain, and they still feel a little proud.
……
It can be said that Li Feng has indeed made full preparations for Zhuang Sibei and bravo. For Zhuang Sibei, he wants to recruit directly from the high position of vice chairman of Standard Chartered group and independent non-executive director, while for Bravo, he directly supports its reform and operation of Burberry with absolute new and full support, so as to make him completely at ease.
Bravo's new appointment, at least for the time being, is still a minor person for Burberry. If he gets the full support of Li Feng, Bravo will naturally be more comfortable with Burberry's operation.
Similarly, the temptation of the vice chairman of the Standard Chartered Bank Group and the future chairman of the group is too great for Zhuang Sibei. This is what many financial people dream of, because Standard Chartered Bank is also famous in the global financial circle and can lead Standard Chartered.
Now there is such an opportunity to put it directly in front of him, which makes Zhuang Sibei excited. This is Li Feng's naked conspiracy, and they can't refuse.
Although they do not occupy Burberry's shares, are not shareholders, are at most a senior professional manager and only a little option shares at most, after all, they are direct managers. If they can support Li Feng's acquisition, it will be too helpful for the acquisition of Burberry.
"I'd like to say hello to you first. You don't have to hurry to give me a reply. You can also go back and discuss with the shareholders of the company. In three days, I'll ask old Pino to quote Boboli group on behalf of century shore shahua group.
To tell you the truth, I sincerely hope to cooperate with you to create a better tomorrow. " Li Feng saw that both of them were lost in thought and said with a smile.
"OK, John, we will take your meaning back. As for whether to accept your acquisition invitation, it needs the consent of the company's board of directors and the shareholders' meeting." Johnsbee thought for a moment and then returned with a smile.
……
"OK, John, Mary, no matter what the outcome, I hope we can become friends. If we can become the closest collaborators, it will be perfect. I think we need to wish us to become real collaborators and close people. What do you think?" Hearing the looseness in Zhuang Sibei's mouth, Li Feng was very happy in his heart and couldn't help laughing and proposing.
"I think it's feasible, John. I'm waiting for you. I hope the quotation I send to your company in three days can satisfy you and your shareholders." Old Pinot smiled and joked.
"Old Pinot, I can't give you any promise now." Zhuang Sibei replied with a wry smile. At this time, Zhuang Sibei was really shaking and wry laughing.
"John, don't worry too much. You can imagine that it's just to send us a message. As for the final result, it still needs to be decided by the shareholders?" Li Feng smiled and comforted.
"I hope so. I'm thinking about waiting for me to go back and announce to the company. I don't know how they will choose and look at me."
"John, you just have to tell the truth. I think the directors and shareholders of your company will understand. After all, I'm just thinking like this now. They're still in the process of thinking and have given the decision-making power to these shareholders and directors, haven't they?" Li Feng comforted Zhuang Sibei again.
In any case, since the matter has been said, johnsby can only put down his mind temporarily. After all, as Li Feng said, the two people went to the reception at the invitation of the contemporary Duke of Westminster. Although Grosvenor reminded Li Feng a little about the acquisition request, they did not express it so intuitively.
It's best to directly convey Li Feng's meaning to the board of directors and shareholder representatives after going back. Although one of them is the chairman of the group and the other is the CEO, if you really want to say it, they don't occupy shares after all. If you want to sell the group, you still need the consent of the shareholders.
At this time, johnsby has made up his mind to act as a "microphone" first. When the shareholders and directors ask for their opinions, just explain what they want to explain. Anyway, let the directors and shareholders consider the pros and cons by themselves, johnsby thought.
……
It can be said that Li Feng's scheming and some consolation have at least moved Zhuang Sibei and bravo. Next, let's look at the performance of Burberry's holding company Gus. Li Feng really has some expectations. To tell the truth, in Li Feng's opinion, there is still great hope.
First, the timing is just right now. Burberry is at the lowest point and operating at a loss; Second, Li Feng also has capital, both financial capital and invisible capital, such as the publicity channels of the media group and many luxury brands of his own group, which are the basis for mutual cooperation with Gus group.
After seeing off Zhuang Sibei and Bravo in the living room, Pino and his son accompanied them back to the banquet hall of building 19, while Li Feng waited in the small banquet hall of building 18 with Wu Jianmin and Mervyn Davis.
Soon, in Li Feng's look of expectation, he saw Wang Siqing coming with a middle-aged man.
"Hello, John!"
"Hello, John!"
"Ha ha..."
