How did I become a god

Chapter 676 Arrival
The first thing Jing Gao did when he came to Paris was of course not to meet Bernard Arnault, the CEO of LVMH Group, Napoleon of the fashion industry, and the richest man in Europe.

What is the difference between that and kneeling and surrendering at the door?
Dong Lingxi made it very clear in his e-mail report that LVMH Group CEO Arnault led the suppression of Zhaoshi Group this time, with the intention of sharing the food.Of course, Li Zekai, who made troubles, also contributed a lot.

After all, there needs to be some evidence for the media to discredit a large company that operates in France and has many advertisers and brand designers.And Li Zekai can provide relevant evidence.

Of course, the evidence is specious.But making a fuss in the media is enough.

The current shareholding structure of Zhaoshi Group is not registered with the French Ministry of Commerce in the name of Jing Gao.Then he will be exhausted to sign.Instead, the company registered in the tax haven Cayman Islands is the holding parent company, and the operating entity is in France.

The holding parent company registered in the Cayman Islands: Xihe Alpha Fund.Behind it is controlled by Jiuge Capital, Chenxi Bank and several shell companies.

At the same time, Zhaoshi Group has cross holdings with other acquired second-tier brands.This is inevitable, because not all companies are sold for cash acquisitions. Even if Jing Gao can provide a large amount of cash, but for tax avoidance, inflated valuations, retention of talents, and the acquired party’s right to speak in the future Considering guarantees and other considerations, there will be a payment for part of Zhaoshi Group's shares to acquire.

Therefore, the equity structure of Zhaoshi Group is relatively complicated.There are large shareholders, small and medium shareholders, plus many investors from banks and institutions.A large group with a valuation of 400 billion euros and businesses spanning clothing, leather, watches, jewelry, perfume, cosmetics, wine, spirits and other businesses cannot have a single shareholder, or only two or three shareholders.

It just means that Jinggao controls about 70% of Zhaoshi Group's equity through Xihe Alpha Fund.

This is a very normal thing.No one who has worked hard to invest and start a business can make wedding clothes for others!

For a capital like Jinggao, it is hard to spot a blank market and invest money and manpower to do it. Shouldn't it enjoy the biggest piece of the luscious profit cake?
Although, the business philosophy that Jing Gao learned from Duan Yongping, the business godfather, is often "gathering money and gathering people" or "gathering money and gathering people".But there is a limit in between!He is not stingy with sharing wealth with business partners, operators, and excellent designers.But he wants to take the lead!
In the end, after several games with acquirers, banks, and institutions, as well as option incentives for management, such an equity structure was finally formed.

You know, as a listed company in Paris, LVMH Group, Bernard Arnault and his family hold about 50% of the shares.This is a listed company.Therefore, it is normal for Jing Gao to obtain about 70% of the equity of Zhaoshi Group, which has not yet been listed.

France's capital game is different from that of the United States, Japan, and China.They allow consortiums and capital to exist in the public eye so blatantly.

After a little attention, you will know that the most outstanding large companies in the United States, especially listed companies, have relatively dispersed equity.Otherwise, relying solely on individual strength, it is impossible to guarantee wealth in a jungle like the United States.

Going to check the Japanese Benz consortium, it is clear that the entire society is strictly hierarchical, classes are everywhere, fathers die and sons succeed, and families pass on.However, due to the division and control of it by the United States.Its consortium is shared by several core families.Then marry each other, make a covenant, or blend interests to form relative control.

As for us, we have thousands of years of tradition that business capital cannot be higher than politics.Therefore, we have large companies with consortia, such as Ali, Tencent, and some familiar names in the early days. They are not called consortiums, but can only be called XX series.

The same is true of the Phoenix Group including Jing Gao.

...

Closer to home, based on the shareholding structure of Zhaoshi Group, the materials provided by Li Zekai show that Xihe Alpha Fund is controlled by Jiuge Capital and Chenxi Bank.That's enough to get some people in France going on a "rave" in the media.

Because companies registered in the Cayman Islands do not need to provide their government with an equity structure at all.Where can Li Zekai go to check?The shareholding control he mentioned can only be something that is caught in the wind.However, there is no doubt that the executives of Zhaoshi Group know who the group's boss is.

Therefore, the exposure of this kind of speculation, unsubstantiated but true things, coupled with some news from anonymous channels, is enough to set off a wave of public opinion.

Beijing time was six hours ahead of Paris time. Jing Gao arrived in Paris with Gu Xixi, Chen Qingshuang, Dong Youwei, Ouyang Wan, Teacher Zheng, bodyguard Chen Aiyang, and Qi Feijun at six o'clock in the evening.

The dignified and beautiful woman Dong Lingxi came to pick up the plane with a person and a car, "Boss Jing!"

Jing Gao looked at Dong Lingxi in a white dress with a graceful and graceful figure, and Dong Lingxi in a blue zebra-print top. She had a pretty face without makeup, and her skin was fair and tender. He smiled and shook hands with her, "Lingxi, you look pretty good! "

Paris belongs to a high latitude area. Even though summer is approaching at the end of May, the climate is actually like late spring, and it will be a bit cold to wear unlined clothes.

There is no doubt that if Dong Lingxi, a beautiful woman, takes off her coat and wears only a white dress, revealing her graceful and sexy figure, she will be a stunner-like, mature beauty!It has the charm after the baptism of time.

It was two years ago when Jing Gao first met her, and she is still so beautiful at the age of 34.Blooming unknown in a foreign country.Of course, she has no shortage of suitors.

In fact, don’t look at gringos, especially the Chinese models used by the United States and the West, and some aesthetic magazines like to use those women who are squinted and flat noses, which the general public thinks are unbeautiful, but in fact, the aesthetic difference between the East and the West is not that big .

Beauty is the same.Why do you think Monica Bellucci, Sophie Marceau, Hepburn, and Vivien Leigh are beautiful?Can't they appreciate the beauties of the East?impossible!It's just deliberately distorting the aesthetics of ordinary Chinese people.

However, with the expansion of China's national strength and consumer market, this situation is improving.Because the green hills can't cover it, after all, it flows eastward.Who is beautiful and who is not, as long as the number of people sampled is large enough, there will roughly be a common area.Or something in common.

Dong Lingxi smiled wryly, and said, "Boss Jing, it's a good thing you're here. I'm almost dying of grief." She is the president and chief financial officer (CFO) of Zhaoshi Group.There's been a lot of pressure lately.She felt that the CEO of the group, Karl Bellman, might not be loyal to Jing Gao, the major shareholder.But there is another small abacus.

After a few words of pleasantries, Dong Lingxi shook hands with Gu Xixi, Chen Qingshuang, Ouyang Wan and others to get to know each other.I shook my head in my heart, Boss Jing is really a romantic person!
A group of people took a car to the villa in the 16th arrondissement of the affluent district of Paris.Jing Gao owns a large area of ​​wine estates in France, which naturally allowed him to buy a large villa in the rich area of ​​Donglingxi. As for the real estate tax, he can afford it.

Dong Lingxi also has a villa here.Next to Jinggao's villa.She drives to work in the Zhaoshi Group headquarters building every day.

Jing Gaodang would not choose to stay in a hotel when the storm is coming.Unless it's your own hotel.

Even if he is stupid, the security team under him will give advice.Who doesn't know the name of the eavesdropping army!Be so ruthless that even allies are tested!

Arriving at the villa in the 16th district with beautiful scenery, quietness and good law and order, Junzi (Qi Feijun) who was in charge of the team's security suddenly said: "Mr. Dong, if you don't mind, I would like to inspect your villa."

He brought the latest equipment.

Dong Lingxi froze for a moment, then looked at Jinggao.Inoko nodded.
