v2 Chapter 745： enter new territory

The Champs-Élysées, also known as the Elysees Pastoral Avenue, is a famous avenue in Paris and is regarded by the French as "the most beautiful avenue in the world". The Elysee Garden Street is taken from the Greek mythology, which means "fairy scenery in mythology".

The whole avenue starts from the Concorde Square in the east and ends at the Star-shaped Square in the west. The terrain is high in the west and low in the east. It is divided into two parts with the dot square as the boundary: the 700-meter east section is dominated by natural scenery, with flat English lawns on both sides, which is quiet and peaceful;

Since 1900, the Champs-Élysées has become a showcase for France to show its achievements in various fields to the world, and it has become a gathering place for internationally renowned brands. Easy Vuitton, haute couture stores, limousine showrooms, film distribution companies, movie theaters, entertainment specialty stores, fine dining restaurants, bars and nightclubs, Lido, Planet Hollywood, Hard Rock Cafe adorn this street. The most beautiful road in the romantic and fashionable city of Paris.

As the most famous cosmetic brand in France and even the world, L'Oreal's main store is also on this avenue. Bao Zixuan came to L'Oreal's main store as agreed, in order to negotiate cosmetic items with Liliane Betancourt.

In fact, the chairman of the main committee of the Paris Air Show really went over to talk to Bao Zixuan about some topics yesterday, mainly asking him what other requirements he had for the air show. It was approved by the main committee through one exhibition. It is estimated that there are only the richest man Bao and his Heiyun Group in the world.

At present, the reputation has not been fully released, and many times rely on the Paris Air Show. Therefore, Bao Zixuan was very modest, and agreed that he would definitely come to Paris to participate in the exhibition next time. And you can pay a deposit at any time, which is a support for the air show. The chairman of the main committee of the air show is not a fool. You have to show your face to others. He immediately said: "The next exhibition will definitely give Heiyun Group a good booth, and this year's situation will never happen."

It is a chat that they are satisfied with each other, and the relationship is not very familiar at present. We can only talk about it here, and the rest has to be proved by time.

When Bao's richest man came to L'Oreal's main store, he saw a woman who was not too young already waiting for him. L'Oreal is a cosmetic company, and I really can't tell how old the employees are.

Seeing Bao Zixuan's arrival, the not-so-young woman said with a smile, "Hello, Mr. Bao. I'm Françoise Bettencourt Mayer. The president asked me to wait for you here."

Hearing this name, Bao Zixuan finally knew who this woman was.

Françoise Bettencourt Mayer is the daughter of L'Oréal Group heir Liliane Bettencourt. To say that this mother-daughter pair is also strange, even in the end, they have to go to court.

Later, as the heir of L'Oreal Group, the world's largest cosmetics company and the richest woman in France, Liliane Bettencourt brought her own daughter Françoise Bettencourt Mayer to court on charges of illegal wiretapping and perjury; reason It was her daughter who was involved in eavesdropping on her conversation with a financial advisor.

In fact, the mother-daughter relationship has always been bad. There is also Liliane Betancourt, who has bought insurance for his male photographer friend François Marie Barnier many times in recent years, and sent him checks, real estate and many Picasso and Matisse Famous paintings by others, with a total value of nearly 1 billion euros.

This made her daughter Mayer feel unbelievable, thinking that her mother was "wasting" the family property; she was "old and confused". Coupled with rumors that Liliane-Betancourt was going to adopt Barnier as his adopted son, Mayer took Barnier to court, saying he had bewitched his "unintelligent" mother; asking the court to order the gifts back .

The move angered Liliana; she told the media that her daughter's behavior was stupid; she was jealous of her relationship with Barnier. She said she had left all of her L'Oreal shares to Mayer in her will; her daughter didn't need to be nervous about giving Barnier the money. As for her daughter's request for a psychiatric test; Liliana was even more annoyed. Said that he would cut off contact with his daughter, and never wanted to see an unfilial daughter again.

The **** plot of the rich and powerful caused a great sensation in Europe. Back then, Bao Zixuan worked for Rolls-Royce in the United Kingdom. In addition to so many tabloid media in the UK, even if you don't read it yourself, your colleagues will say it next to you. It can be said that it has become a well-known joke and has a certain influence around the world.

These have nothing to do with Bao's richest man, and he doesn't want to pay attention to other people's gossip news. The scale of the L'Oreal Group in later generations, 1 billion euros is really a small amount of money.

Bao Zixuan: "Hello, Miss Mayer! Nice to meet you!"

Under the leadership of Mayer, Bao Zixuan came to Liliane Betancourt's office. Of course, he doesn't come here often, and usually works at the headquarters.

Baozi stuffing didn't ask much about why he came here. But soon the mother and daughter gave the answer, Liliane Bettencourt said with a smile: "I know that Mr. Bao is usually busy with work, and this is the first time he has come to Paris. I must bring a gift for my mother, Champs Elysees. The Avenue des Lysés is bound to come. In order not to waste your time, the meeting place is arranged here."

After a while, I will ask Mayer to take you to L'Oreal to pick up a few limited edition products, which can be regarded as a little thought for the old lady.

As the head of the world's largest makeup brand, of course, you must know something about the families of the super rich around the world. Although Bao Zixuan was not recognized at the time, almost the whole world knew that Bao Zixuan had a mother in his family who had been dependent on each other since childhood. Bringing gifts to my mother wherever she goes has become a must.

Hearing this, Bao Zixuan was very relieved that he dared to bring it. It is still a woman who has a delicate mind. It seems that the business sense of smell that has been cultivated since childhood is really not very sensitive.

Bao Zixuan: "On behalf of my mother, I would like to express my gratitude to you. When I have the opportunity to come to Xiangjiang, I must visit my house. So that we can also enter into the friendship of landlords."

With Bao Zixuan, this guarantee is more important than anything else, and many super rich people do not have such an opportunity.

After the two exchanged a few more words, they began to get to the point.

Bao Zixuan: "I came to L'Oreal this time because I wanted to cooperate with your company on a project. I wonder if Madam has heard of the Dead Sea."

In fact, after Bao Zixuan issued an invitation to negotiate, Liliane Betancourt was investigating what the young man wanted. It stands to reason that one is engaged in the cosmetics industry, and the other is engaged in the production of industrial and electronic products. There is little overlap between the two, and there is little chance of cooperation.

How much cosmetics Bao Zixuan can buy, at the same time L'Oreal can't get into the black cloud by buying a plane. Now suddenly mentioning the Dead Sea, Liliane Betancourt fully understands what it means.

L'Oreal also sent people to the Dead Sea to purchase Dead Sea mud before, but it was later heard that it was monopolized. The price remains high, and the production cost is much higher. Now that Bao Zixuan mentioned the Dead Sea, could it be this kid who did it.

Liliana Betancourt: "L'Oreal buys a portion of Dead Sea mud from the Dead Sea every year for high-end cosmetic production. Could it be that Mr. Bao is interested in the cosmetic industry and has already obtained the development rights of the Dead Sea."

Bao Zixuan: "I have a lot of investments in Jordan, and I have a good relationship with the royal family. Blocking the Dead Sea is also my suggestion, and at the same time, I also get some development shares. I am going to set up a beauty salon on the coast of the Dead Sea and build it into a destination that women all over the world want to visit. ."

"But for the beauty industry, I only know that it is very profitable, but I don't know how to operate it. At present, I am only doing internal planning, and there are no specific facts."

"Seeing Mrs. at the air show made me find a new idea. L'Oreal is the world's largest cosmetics company, why not find the most professional company to cooperate with; this is a long-term solution. Brand channel, operating a cosmetic brand produced by Dead Sea mud.”

As a world-renowned cosmetic brand, of course know the efficacy of Dead Sea mud. The business of opening a beauty salon on the coast of the Dead Sea will certainly not be bad. With sufficient Dead Sea mud as raw materials, the efficacy and sales of cosmetics will not be bad.

Liliane Bettencourt: "L'Oreal is interested in this business, but I don't know how much share it can take. After all, L'Oreal's sales channels have been accumulated over the years. I think Mr. Bao should understand how much it is worth."

Bao Zixuan: "Since I have found my wife, then L'Oreal must lead everything. At most, the Black Cloud Group only invests some funds, and will not participate in specific operations and management."

"I'm a man, but I'm not interested in cosmetics at all. L'Oreal can visit on the spot and negotiate a contract after evaluating the project."

Bao Zixuan's attitude made Liliane Bettencourt very satisfied, and there was no problem in matching and investing money. Just worrying about the other party's finger-pointing, not everyone in the cosmetics industry can play around.
