Chapter 1404

Hearing someone call out Messier's name, Xiao Li feels very familiar, but for a moment, it doesn't correspond to what the other party is doing. Although his film career is not going well during this period of time, he can find advertisements and all kinds of fashion invitation, so he doesn't pay much attention to the news.

Just looking at the style and the reaction of the people at the dinner party, Messier should be a local big shot in France.

Aplus's cheap and disgusting smile suddenly faded away, and his aura seemed to rise in an instant. He became as sharp as a scabbard blade. He stared at Messier with a smile on his mouth, and his eyes revealed deep accidents and vigilance.

"Slow down, Mr. Bronfman."

But when Messier leaned over and the crowd saw the old brown man leaning on crutches behind him, aplus's pursed lips immediately opened slightly, as if surprised. Then he showed some friendliness and nodded to the old brown man with a smile. In his eyes

Little plum keenly felt that there was more sympathy and pity in aplus's eyes?

Who does he sympathize with?

Little plum looked at him again to confirm, old brown man? Old Bronfman, little plum, is the father of big boss of the world. Aplus?

Xiao Li is in a mess.

"Let's find a place to talk?"

In a daze, Messier had come close and reached out to aplus.

"Er..." with both hands clasped, aplus hesitated to this request. "Hello, Mr. Bronfman." After dealing with messier, he took the initiative to shake hands with old Bronfman.

"Don't... maybe they want to..."

Ms. Sloan, CEO of Littman media, also knows that little Lizi has appeared behind aplus at some time. She can hear her whispers from a close distance, as if she is persuading aplus not to meet each other in private?

I'm sure Messier can hear that. This woman is really rude.

But real people look more beautiful than in the news? Good shape and face... But I'm a little older, in my early 30s?

Xiao Li's attention was immediately transferred by Sloan who came out from behind aplus and looked up and down in a vague way.

"Ms. Sloan from ACN, right?" Messier smiles again and reaches out to Ms. Sloan, twice on his own initiative.

"Well, I'm not in charge of the management of the TV station." Ms. Sloan replied.

All the guests were listening to the conversation, and Xiao Li looked around. Now the scene is like an old European oil painting, and the focus of the oil painting is undoubtedly on aplus.

Didn't this bastard just lose four billion? Why are you treated like this?

He doesn't understand, but the one who just scolded himself and Paris Hilton is Pinot of PPR group. He has dealt with him several times. He is a big figure in French fashion circle. At present, part of his income comes from the fashion brands of PPR group.

He looks at Pinot, who has no mind about herself and Paris Hilton. Just like everyone else, his attention is all on the four people including aplus, or they are all waiting to see how aplus will deal with it.

"It doesn't matter."

Aplus hesitated for a while, then said to Sloan beside him, and then invited him with a smile: "OK." He agreed and naturally reached out to help old Bronfman.

He still respects and sympathizes with a rich second generation old man who is still traveling to two places to wipe his ass for little brown man. After all, he is a fierce man who once shook DuPont! Although he didn't give any feedback to the special envoy he sent to complain about, he didn't hold on to his three generation son, who lost hundreds of millions of market value to rittman media and Amelia music website.

However, the old man's personal visit today will surely be understood as a soft act in the eyes of those who know the grudge between him and little browfman, which will do great harm to the old tycoon's face.

"No, thank you." But old Bronfman refused his kindness and completely ignored the complicated eyes of the people around him.

"Then follow me."

Aplus apologized to the crowd and turned to lead the way.

Their backs soon disappeared in the banquet hall.

With a "buzz", everyone began to talk to each other. Pino didn't care about herself and Paris any more, and her figure quickly disappeared in the crowd.

"Short... Bankrupt... Bet." When Xiao Li heard these words appear frequently, others said, "it seems that aplus has won...".

Bet on bankruptcy?

Aplus and the big boss of the world, little Bronfman, have a bet on who will go bankrupt first. Of course, this gossip girl from Hollywood knows. Is it

Impossible? It can't be true? He prayed that it was not true.

"Ha ha! Leo……”

At this time, another annoying voice sounded in my ear, from a male model who was defeated in competing for the name brand endorsement. The other side approached him affectionately and said: "what? Did you have a problem with Mr. aplus? Because he's been at LiPACE recently? "

He frowned and didn't want to quarrel with such a little guy in public.

He came to realize that it was not right for him to shout at aplus in public just now, so he planned to leave this land of right and wrong as soon as possible.

"Yes, Mr. appus has made five plays for him in one go! Dance my life 3, 4, 5, 6, plus burning Hawaii! It seems that LiPACE is only eighteen or nine years old

The male model, like a family treasure, yelled behind him: "it looks like Leo is out of favor!"

Li Zi, who had already run away with Paris Hilton's little hand, couldn't bear it any more. She took a deep breath and stood still. She was going to turn around and strike her opponent with words.

"What are you talking about?"

Very good, someone in time to help his face, aplus agent Hayden appeared, domineering hard grip that tongue male model's collar, "next time before talking, first think! Get out of here! You are not welcome here! "

The male model was pushed by big fat Hayden and staggered. He did not dare to say a word, but was escorted out of the banquet hall by aplus bodyguards.

Little plum smiles gratefully to Hayden and raises her hand to thank him.

"It's OK. There's a little misunderstanding. Aplus and Leo have a good relationship. Just now they were just joking. They are peers and have known each other for a long time."

I didn't expect Hayden to come over and put his arm around his shoulder and explain in a loud voice, "let's go, let's go."

The onlookers burst into laughter one after another.

Little Li had nothing to say. He felt so humiliated that he regretted coming here. Now he just wanted to run away as soon as possible.

Peers

To speak of, aplus is the same age as himself. Now he is not a person of the same level at all

Yes, I'm almost 26 years old like aplus, and I'm only 18-9 years old

Five plays?

When he thought of these points, he felt more deeply. He sucked his nose and held back his tears. He was as dejected as a defeated rooster.

"It's been a long time since I saw Pino and Arnold on the same occasion."

On the other hand, Sonya and Sloan bring the two tycoons, Messier and old Bronfman, into a quiet room. Messier doesn't make any cliche greetings and starts with this sentence.

The Gucci battle between LVMH and PPR is still going on. Both sides have tried their best but failed to succeed, which is related to the company's life and death. Naturally, the relationship between the two sides is extremely bad in the deadlock of the French civil war.

"Oh? I'm not sure

Song Ya didn't reply to other people's frivolous words like "they're staring at my wallet", pretending to be stupid.

"Now Pino and his son are on the defensive. Arnold owns a lot of Gucci shares, and the lawsuit is also dominant. Pino and his son want to drive him out, so they should not be able to get through without spending a lot of money to wholly acquire Gucci." "It's not easy for the Pino and son's PPR group to come up with this cash at this stage," Messier said

It's ingratiating, "I feel the same way." Song Ya agrees with the other party's analysis.

"Sit down, Mr. Bronfman."

On the occasion of the gathering of the three tycoons, Sloan's incarnation calls on the girl and leads old Bronfman into the seat, "would you like something to drink?"

"Inside." Old Bronfman narrowed his muddy eyes and pointed to Martell in the cupboard. "Thank you."

"Mr. Messier?" Asked Sloan.

"The same."

Messier continued: "so now Pino and son want to win your support, and Arnold just needs bad things. Is my judgment right?"

"I'm just a humble spokesperson for men's wear." Sonya had wine and champagne in his hand all the time. Seeing that Sloan had handed the glass to old Bronfman and messier, he raised his glass.

"To celebrate our first meeting."

He was thinking of the words, and messier had finished. "Edgar, what do you think of seeing aplus with your own eyes? Is he a very good young man? " He raised his glass to old Bronfman and asked at the same time.

"Very good."

Old Bronfman didn't say much from the beginning. Although he was much older than when he appeared at the beginning of the year to sign a merger with Vivendi, he was still full of tycoon temperament. The lion's aging was also a lion, which didn't give Songya any sense of difficulty.

Sonya and messier talked about the French civil war between LVMH and PPR. Brownfmann, the elder, devoted himself to Martell, who has been in charge of sigram wine industry for 80 years, and did not participate in it.

"What do you think?"

Outside, Arnold, chairman of LVMH group, has been hugged to leave. Old Pino looks at the back of the opponent who hates to peel and remove bones and asks his future successor.

"Aplus came to Paris at this time point... In hindsight, it must have been planned in advance, and the business of selling clothes and wine could not be achieved in a hurry. He was just going to come to the scene today, the fourth trading day after Vivendi's global market resumption, and command the battle! He absolutely participated in the shorting of various institutions, but it was impossible to foresee that the plan would go so smoothly... After all, the black Pharaoh was not a God. "

Little Pinot answered.

"So what do you want when Messier and old brownfman come to him in person?" Old Pinot continued to compare.

"Bow down and admit defeat? Ask aplus to stop? Aplus has sold its clothing business for 240 million yuan today. With the money that can be transferred from rice stocks, there is enough ammunition. If we continue to smash the market next week, Vivendi global can't stand it. "

Pinot replied, "remember his bet with little brown man? This time, he wants Bronfman to die with Vivendi global! "

"Or vice versa!"

Old Pino pointed out that Vivendi global is actually the unfortunate party following little brown man. "It's unbelievable that if aplus has been selling heavily this week, it should have reaped a huge amount of orders."

"But there are too many empty orders in hand. I always think Vivendi Global's fundamentals are OK. The war is far from over. Aplus is as proud and dignified as a conqueror today, but it's hard to say that it can win the final. He is likely to die from a slight enemy with a huge advantage, or from an ally's back stab... "

"We are trying to save him now by persuading him to leave and fund the wholly-owned acquisition of Gucci, but he doesn't seem to understand how good this win-win deal is for him," Pino said

"Vivendi global shrank to 48 billion euros a week. Few people can keep their normal mind in such a brilliant victory..."

Old Pinot nodded admiringly, "but you just mentioned the fundamentals of Vivendi global, which should not help solve the current crisis. Their current market value is very dangerous."

"Aplus, Ms. Sloan is also here. I don't want to talk about ACN. Business is business..."

Messier in the room has got to the point. "Next Monday, the war will continue. Edgar and I want you to quit. You've earned enough. Of course, you deserve it... Or in that sentence, business is business, and we will not pursue anything. "

Song Ya smell speech, eyebrow slightly picked up pick, smile drank a mouthful of champagne.

I've left, but I don't know if Vivendi global knows. Today's strong signing of a clothing company in France may also be understood as a signal to continue to chase and fight, so the two tycoons will come together.

I don't know. This is very useful information.

Then, Messier's "no investigation" also successfully aroused his competitive heart.

It's better to fight less.

He answered immediately, and the scene was a little stiff for a moment.

The rooms set up by Hilton Hotel for VIP guests in the banquet hall have European classical baroque style, exquisite large-scale oil paintings, antique European style furniture, Sonya's upright posture, a head higher than Messier's, and a smile at the mouth of the cup, which is confident and powerful.

Messier, who once made Vivendi global a market value of 100 billion, is not weak at all. He slightly raises his head and looks into each other's eyes. He can't see that he is in a critical situation of internal and external difficulties.

The old Bronfman, like the old overlord, easily lifted his glass to the level of his eyes, slightly swayed, and seemed to be concentrating on tasting the wine.

Sloan watched this scene quietly, but her heart was also surging. Many years ago, she did not expect that she and aplus could appear in the same situation with these two tycoons, playing fiercely under the seemingly calm water, and getting the upper hand.

"What do you think of aplus?" Messier broke the silence.

Song Ya's empty hand scratched his temples.

It's a sign to ask for help. Well, this little waste is still a little weak. Sloan chuckles in his heart, "I'm afraid your company will have more trouble next week, won't it? Apart from the fact that the two countries have begun to investigate those false accounts, your market value seems to be approaching the edge of insolvency She said.

It is for this reason that she did not suggest Songya to meet with Messier and old Bronfman in private before. No matter how the talks go, it will lead to miscarriage of justice by the institutions that continue to short next week. In particular, Addison of Deutsche Bank has begun to talk about the possibility of the bankruptcy of Vivendi global, which is a very favorable topic for the air side next week.

Perhaps it is because of this that Messier and old Bronfman would rather come to the dinner party with so many people at the table, and they would rather give the outside world their humble opinions and sneer at a 25-year-old.

It's good enough to have peace talks with aplus. If aplus refuses to meet in private in front of the public and says that it's OK to have witnesses, now it's in the secret room. No matter how you explain it back, you can't be completely trusted.

Even so, it is not easy for two tycoons who have been famous for many years to achieve this. Face may be worthless to a person, or it may be more important than life.

"If Ms. Sloan is referring to our 48 billion market value, it seems a little early?" Messier sneered softly.

"The problem of false accounts... Who would believe that only so much has been revealed so far?" Sloan hit back.

"There is no problem of false accounts. It's just a rumor spread by Addison. The market will return from blindness to rationality." It's impossible for Messier to admit false accounting on any occasion. "Short reporting is not a court decision."

"Will it be long before the court decides?"

Sloan can't be found out what evidence he has and what cards he has, and the court's decision won't have any influence on the war next week.

"You're a smart girl." Old Bronfman spoke.

"Thank you." Sloan greets with grace.

But old Bronfman didn't respond to her again. He put down his glass and said, "aplus, I know you have a conflict with little Edgar. He interfered with your Internet and record business. I apologize for him. He..."

"And wine." Song Ya replied.

"What?" Old Bronfman thought he was pointing at the wine on the table.

"And wine, he suppressed the new wine products of a + wine industry, because we gave the distribution right to sigram wine industry before, and grey goose vodka didn't get very good resources."

Song Ya light socket: "this also let me lose a lot."

"Oh, I haven't asked about specific business for a long time. It's little Edgar's wrong business." Old Bronfman had no choice but to say, "well, let's not talk about these little things..."

"It's no small matter."

Song Ya showed no respect for the old and loved the young, and continued to interrupt, "although my business may not be a big deal for your family..."

"I understand, I..."

"I had a message sent to you, remember?" Sonya asked, "the two former executives of sigram, they are outside."

"Boss, he..."

In the banquet hall at this time, two senior officials of sigram global, who followed the a + liquor industry team and thought they had come to Paris to sign a merger with three color vodka, also saw the scene just now. They just woke up from the huge shock, "is he coming to admit defeat to aplus?" One of them was so sad that he quickly cried out, "it's really humiliating. He's so old..."

"I've been on crutches, and I'm still well at the beginning of the year..." another person is already wiping his tears.

"All the big boss's dads have come to admit defeat to aplus!" There was a spectator's voice: "otherwise, aplus may really bankrupt the Bronfman family! Ha ha, he really participated in this week's short selling! "

"The bronfmans are miserable! If today's news goes out, are they still qualified to be called a rich family? "

"Better than bankruptcy?"

"That's also... Ha ha!"

The gossip gouged out his ears like a knife. "It's all little Edgar... Ah! The boss has been in charge of his son for a long time, and he won't end up like this. Aplus shouldn't be so cruel! "

"Yes! Aplus is going too far this time! The conflict with little Edgar would not have been so The other nodded indignantly.

"Who do you call boss?"

A + wine president Riise wriggled his brows and appeared behind them, angrily denouncing: "no? But in terms of our company's performance which was embarrassed by little Bronfman, I have the impulse to buy a murderer and kill him. You two should sober up! I thought I worked in sigram? "

"Ha ha, we don't work in sigram any more, but we won't work under you soon. Do you think the two founders of three color vodka like you very much or what? Riise

The two old ministers retorted, "it's ridiculous. You've run to the end for aplus, and you've finished your own job."

"Cut! I'm very grateful to the boss, of course I mean aplus. "

Riise sneers. He is different from Scott of a + clothing. He knows that his boss, aplus, has been dissatisfied with Scott for a long time, and he has been loyal since he worked in a small pedal company. Er... Although he made a little mistake of principle when aplus was shot and comatose, he has made a lot of contributions and is younger than Scott. Aplus has promised to arrange a good place in private, "You don't have to worry about me. If you don't have a deal with tricolor vodka this time, I'll fire you. It's not good for you both!"

"I understand the contradiction between you and little brown man, aplus, but... Edgar has apologized to you today, OK? We know that simple verbal apology may not prove sincerity.... "

In the room, Messier stops Sonya's bullying interruptions.

"It's OK. I'll do it myself."

But old Bronfman stopped to help, "aplus, we may auction sigram wine to help out in the near future. Think about it, you will get the brightest pearl in our family's ancestral property, Martell..."

The old man picked up the wine cup again, but he quickly put it back on the table. "Chivas, Royal Salute... After you have them, my son..." he paused and continued to say, "I can't lift my head in front of you forever, can't I?"

"I'm not interested in wine. I'm about to sell my ticket business." Song Ya shakes his head. It sounds as if this proposal is tempting him to take money to leave. Er... Although he has already left, they don't know!

"You still have some song rights left in universal music, right? We can give it to you. " Said messier.

Why? Speaking of universal records

"Why don't you auction universal records, or universal pictures?" The film industry is better and still making money. These are the two industries I know best. The temptation to instantly incarnate into one of the top seven in Hollywood or one of the top five in the record industry is still enough.

Er, although it seems that I can't afford it, I can find a partner!

"That's no good. Vivendi's global strategy focuses on the media industry. The outside world who split up the wine business will not question too much." Messier shook his head. "And isn't universal being investigated by Wall Street Sheriff? You should be very clear about it. It won't be on the shelf in a short time. "

"That has nothing to do with me." Sonya can't admit it.

"If you like the media industry, maybe we can put the buyback contract of American TV network on the shelf." Said messier.

"Come on, we don't dare buy baridiller's company."

After the short report of Deutsche Bank revealed the existence of repurchase agreement, Sloan also heard that baridiller was trying his best to "expand" the U.S. television network. Undoubtedly, the "Hollywood killer" planned to use the repurchase contract signed with Fu San Dai to pit Vivendi global.

"That's the wine. The fastest way for us to bail out now is to sell sigram, which has good assets and continues to make profits. Now the major global wine giants are in a bad situation. We need some fresh blood to join us. Otherwise, the auction price will not be satisfactory. If you are interested, please let us know. "

Messier reached out and said, "by next Monday."

"Aplus, I appreciate you very much. I'm old. Sometimes I really want to live with you in the age of prohibition. Have a good fight!"

Old Bronfman got up, took Sonya's hand and said, "alcapen, Jim gancana, those famous figures in the history of Chicago Mafia, I'm going to visit them, and they often come to Canada too..."

The old man's eyes became bleak, "although the times are different, they are all over, but don't think my family and I have completely lost the courage to die together! Young people. "

This is an old lion, song Ya felt the threat, the real threat, "ha ha, I'm looking forward to it, so... Next Monday?"

"Yes, before midnight." Said messier.

"Before the opening." Song Ya countered.

"Yes."
