How did I become a god

Chapter 726 A Joke (Updated)

In the luxurious circular banquet hall, people have already started chatting with wine glasses in twos and threes with a hint of drunkenness.The Paris Symphony Orchestra, which had played hard for nearly two hours, also paused for a short rest.

This luxurious and grand "celebration banquet" is going through the opening, prelude, peak, and now the tired period.

Some older business tycoons and senior professional managers have already sat and rested in a quiet room under the guidance of the butler of the Pino family.

Arthur Lagardère is nearly 50 years old, with a round face, chubby, and slightly small features.He was pacing back and forth a little restlessly in a room on the east side of the luxurious big villa of the Pino family.

Carol Banks, Arnold Lagardère's confidant, looked at his young master, hesitating to speak.He didn't agree with the plan at all.

From his observation, Mr. Jing is a very pragmatic person!
First, Mr. Yijing's strong financial resources and capital, if he is not pragmatic, he will not be so low-key since he came to Paris on May 5.He could actually announce that he has come to Paris in a more high-profile way!
Second, Mr. Wells accepted Bernard-Arnaud's surrender.

You know, in the "negotiations" on the second floor of Publicis Groupe CEO Denton Glaser's villa on June 6, he clearly put forward three demands and demanded a public apology.But did Arnault do it?
So, Mr. Jing will never care whether he apologizes in public or makes a statement on the official website like Arnault?Mr. Jing cares more about the benefits he gets.

But Arthur Lagardère didn't listen to him at all.

Knock, knock on the door.

"Come in." Arthur Lagardère said back.

Little Pinault walked in with his entourage, and there was no sign on his face that he had sold Arthur Lagardère. He smiled and said: "Arthur, I have already mentioned your matter to Mr. Jing. He said Want to see you. Let's go!"

"Okay. Thank you!" Arthur Lagardère brought Carol Banks and four or five followers.Follow little Pino out.

After Jing Gao and Pino Jr. came in, they separated, and Pino Jr. went to invite the guests to come over to be a witness, and invited Arthur Lagardère to come over.

Jing Gao didn't wait at the same place, but brought Ouyang Wan, Dong Lingxi, Chen Qingshuang, and Dong Youwei together.Several of them were communicating with the guests on the spot.It was a few Chinese businessmen who were talking at this time.

As soon as he walked over with Ouyang Wan on his arm, everyone stopped talking and looked over with smiles.

Jing Gao is now familiar with this kind of social occasion, and said with a smile: "Lingxi, introduce these friends for me?"

Dong Lingxi introduced with a smile: "Mr. Jing, this is Mr. Chen Hanqing, the leader of Chinese businessmen from the UK. The Chen Group is mainly engaged in the sales of spirits, wine and other alcoholic beverages, investment, real estate, ocean trade and other businesses."

Chen Hanqing is over 50 years old, of medium stature, with black hair, full of energy, and calm demeanor, with a mature charm of business battles and years of precipitation.With a handsome appearance, he is completely a middle-aged version of a handsome guy.He has an extraordinary bearing and extraordinary demeanor.Looks like a leader.

Chen Hanqing smiled decently and said, "I am ashamed to be the leader of British Chinese businessmen. We overseas wanderers will ultimately have to rely on our powerful motherland!"

As he spoke, he took the initiative to extend his hand and said, "Mr. Jing, you hit Bernard Arnault, the richest man in Europe, in France, greatly boosting the prestige of our Chinese, and boosting the status of our Chinese businessmen in Europe. We Chinese have long admired our names. We saw you today." , enough comfort for life!"

Jing Gao had a good impression of Chen Hanqing.Unlike some people, whether it is Ma Yun of the era or Ma Yun's era, they are already drifting away, and something will happen sooner or later.He smiled and said, "Mr. Chen is too polite. I was forced to fight back in self-defense! I won't attack if people don't attack me, but if people attack me, I will attack."

The people around him all laughed out of face.

Chen Hanqing nodded lightly. When meeting him for the first time, this young Mr. Jing left a very deep impression on him.Without familiarity with Chinese history, it is absolutely impossible to understand what is called "self-defense counterattack".This is the essence of Chinese culture. For 5000 years, once the Central Plains Dynasty started to fight back, the surrounding countries and tribes would all be wiped out.

Two "counterattacks" since the founding of New China.For the first time, Ah San's dream of being a world power and leader of the third world was smashed to pieces.Nehru died of depression in the second year.The second time, all industrial bases in the north of the monkey were broken.

There is also Mr. Jing quoting quotations casually.Anyone who can read and understand the five volumes of "Selected Works of Mao" is definitely a top figure in terms of thinking logic, materialist dialectics, and fighting skills!
Dong Lingxi also introduced Chen Hanqing's brother-in-law, a German in his 50s named Alfonso Gilbert, who also holds the title of baron handed down from his ancestors.

He tried his best to keep calm, but with Jing Gao's vision, experience, and emotional intelligence, he could feel that his character was a little frivolous.

Dong Lingxi then introduced Chen Hanqing's two partners in China: Xing Shijie and Qi Wenhan, among whom Xing Shijie is also an in-law of Chen Hanqing's family.Obviously, this is a very good business closed loop.

There is also a Chinese businessman in France named Chu Yunfei.

It's a good name.

Jing Gao socialized one by one, and asked with a smile: "Do Mr. Chu and Mr. Tang know each other?"

Chu Yunfei was in his 40s, with thick eyebrows, big eyes, and a high nose bridge. He was wearing a neat suit, and hurriedly said, "I know him. Mr. Jing, basically all Chinese businessmen who have done a little bit of business in Europe know Tang Jinxue."

After saying this, he didn't say any more.He didn't help Tang Jinxue to explain why, as the leader of French Chinese businessmen, he didn't come to the "celebration banquet" of the Pinault family?
Even if the Pino family and Mr. Jing didn't send invitations, as long as they want to come, there is still a way.This kind of party and banquet is very grand, and the control is not strict.As long as the guests have enough portions, they will definitely come.

Who is Igao?Smiling and nodding, he signaled Dong Lingxi to entertain them, "Everyone, I'm sorry. Lingxi, entertain the guests for me."

"Okay, Boss Jing!" Dong Lingxi agreed with a light smile.It's just that there is a coquettish and sweetness in the tone of "Boss Jing" that she didn't realize.

Jing Gao took two steps to the side, joined his subordinates, asked Dong Youwei, and whispered: "Youwei, how is the arrangement at Xixi's side?"

Dong Youwei reported: "Assistant Gu and her mother have boarded the car and returned to the Park Hyatt Hotel in downtown Paris. Security has been arranged by Mr. Qi."

Jing Gao said "hmm", looked around, and asked curiously, "Mr. Zheng is not here?"

Chen Qingshuang, who was dressed in a blue suit and had a hot figure, replied with a smile, "Brother Jing, Mr. Zheng is very popular and has been invited to communicate."

Teacher Zheng has an elegant temperament and is very fluent in French. He has been stationed in France for nearly 20 years and has a lot of knowledge. He has also published books in France. It is a typical and beautiful resume of French senior intellectuals!
Journalist, writer, television regular.

Moreover, Teacher Zheng came in with Brother Jing.Many people want to know their information, Mr. Zheng is a very good window and channel.Of course, Brother Jing's spokesperson in France has to be President Dong Lingxi.

"Haha! I think so." Jing Gao took a glass of champagne from the waiter's hand and said with a smile, "Qingshuang, are you all a bit bored? We'll go back later! There's one more thing to do."

Chen Qingshuang smiled, the bright and unprovoked beauty nodded slightly and said: "Yes." She didn't understand French, so it was a bit uncomfortable in the banquet.

While speaking, the supermodels, movie stars, directors, professional managers, and designers who were still in the circular banquet hall found that the big bosses who had disappeared just now returned to the hall one after another. Everyone had a premonition that something was going to happen.

When Arthur Lagardère walked into the banquet hall accompanied by Pinault Jr., many people gasped.

In the French fashion industry, many people know that the LVMH group and the Kering group are at odds.It is said that members of the Pinault family and the Arnaud family will never appear in a public place.

Anyone who is a little well-informed knows that the Lagardère consortium and the Arnault family are family friends.Bernard Arnault and Arnold Lagardère had a strong personal relationship.

Pino, dressed in a suit, smiled and invited Jing Gao to come over.At this moment, the music stopped, and everyone's eyes turned to this place, which became the center again.

Little Pino smiled slightly, calmly said to Axel Dumas of Hermes, Alain Wertheimer of Chanel, Jean-Paul Agung of L’Oreal and others: “

The Lagardère family participated in the siege of the Zhaoshi Group.But in the current situation where Arnault surrendered to Mr. Jing, Arthur Lagardère decided to reconcile with Mr. Jing and apologize to him. Please join me as a witness. "

"Whoa whoa."

There was a muffled uproar all around.

Axel Dumay, Alan Witmeyer, Jean-Paul Agung and others all nodded slightly and looked at Arthur Lagardère.

Arthur Lagardère turned a little blue.He made up his mind to publicly apologize to Jing Gao, but he didn't expect that at this moment, he realized that it was really, really embarrassing!A sense of shame welled up in his heart.

But thinking about the current situation, Jing Gao has now freed up his hands - he has reached an agreement with Bernard Arnault, and he will definitely come to clean him up.He had to give Jing Gao an explanation first.

There is also a small abacus in his heart.I heard that the Chinese people have a good face, and he gave Ashii a high face, so he hopes to pay less in terms of benefits.

He really can't bear to spend billions of euros like Bernard Arnault, billions of euros.

Carol kept persuading him.However, he is not a generation of monarchs like Bernard Arnault. His father is already lying on the hospital bed. If he compensates generously, will he still have any prestige in the Lagardère consortium in the future?

The Japanese bow at ninety degrees, and the Koreans kneel directly.What is his situation now.Fight.

"Mr. Jing, congratulations on your victory. On behalf of the Lagardère family, I apologize to you!" Arthur Lagardère bowed slightly and greeted Jing Gao.

Listening to the translation of the sentence by the translator next to Arthur Lagardère, Jing Gao smiled.

Dong Lingxi almost couldn't help but wanted to pull Jing Gao's sleeve: Mr. Jing, please don't forgive him so easily!The various difficulties and difficulties faced by the Zhaoshi Group, regardless of the fact that the big boss behind the scenes is Arnault, are all carried out by the Lagardère consortium.

Mr. Thomas, who is doing trouble everywhere and connecting in series, is an employee of the Lagardère consortium.

Jing Gao said sarcastically: "There is a saying in China that money is hard to earn, but shit is hard to eat. Mr. Arthur Lagardère, you are quite open-minded. What's the matter, if you do something bad, just make an apology." Can you get over it?"

The assistant beside Jing Gao, Dong Lingxi, and his subordinates all chuckled.

To say that what Jing Gao said is quite ugly, but compared with Zhaoshi Group’s experience: betrayal by the management, attacks by public opinion, bank loan withdrawals, rebellion and lawsuits by subordinate brands, and their hard work in Paris these days, you can say a few words. what?
Following Ouyang Wan's sentence-by-sentence translation, many guests laughed out loud.

Arthur Lagardère was a little dumbfounded immediately, why the hell didn't you play your cards according to the routine?The expression on his face became astonished and gloomy.He turned to look at Pino.Didn't we talk about it before?
Little Pino drank with a smile, as if he had nothing to do with him.

Where did Arthur Lagardère not know that he was cheated by the "middleman"?
At this time, Jing Gao and Ouyang Wan finished translating, and continued: "Arthur Lagardère, if I don't question you, will you not even ask for the 6000 million euros that you originally planned to compensate me?
Let me tell you, I already hold 10% of the shares of the French integrated media group, and you can decide what to do next. "

The power of the Lagardère consortium comes from the news media, and their French general news group is also a listed company, and the shareholding ratio of the Lagardère family is far from the safe line of 30%.Not to mention Bernard Arnobi, who has more than 50% of the shares in the LVMH group.

They own less than 10% of the shares, relying on years of operation and management to maintain control over the entire group.

The business tycoons and senior professional managers present all knew that it was impossible for Jing Gao to take over the French News Corporation. If that happened, the French government would intervene.But everyone's eyes were bright.It seems to have seen a bloody storm that is about to happen in the capital market!
They are all weighing whether it is possible to make a profit from it.

You must know that Bernard Arnault, the most natural ally of the Lagardère consortium, has just broken out of the quagmire. He cannot protect himself in front of Mr. Jing, and his relationship with Arthur Lagardère has broken down. He will definitely not go into this muddy water.

so.
Before the anger in Arthur Lagardère had time to rise, he was poured down by Jing Gao's words, which made him feel chill from head to tail, from head to toe, from head to toe, and from head to toe, from head to toe, from head to toe, and from head to toe, from head to toe, from head to toe, from head to toe, from head to toe, from head to toe, from head to toe, from head to toe, from head to toe, to the point where he was almost too frozen to speak .

"Mr. Ii, I'm sorry! I sincerely apologize to you. I hope you can give me some time! I'm sorry!"

Arthur Lagardère no longer struggled with face and bow angle issues, bowed directly at ninety degrees, and then turned and left the banquet.He now understands that a public apology to Jing Gao will not be successful, let alone a public negotiation of conditions!He was right to leave now.

So, he is acting like a clown today!

Looking at the back of Arthur Lagardère, Jing Gao took a sip of the champagne glass in his hand and smiled slightly.The feeling of being ruined by Gu Xixi's mother's sudden forced marriage completely disappeared.

Sure enough, happiness is built on the pain of the enemy!
...

...

As Arthur Lagardar departed with his entourage, the atmosphere in the banquet hall became cheerful!

I enjoyed a good show just now.

Dong Lingxi, Ouyang Wan, Dong Youwei and others were in a good mood.The main reason is that Boss Jing ridicules well, scolds happily, and threatens well!
Jing Gao was talking with the business tycoons around him in a calm manner, and received their explicit or implicit compliments.

Arthur Lagardère is a stick. For such a big matter, he just wants to apologize in public and pay 6000 million in compensation.Among the tycoons present here, every senior professional manager counts as one. Who doesn't think he is a joke?

Connie Cruz, who was dressed in a red dress and overwhelmed all the supermodels, looked at the Chinese man chatting and laughing in the crowd, and couldn't help it. She moved quietly, preparing to go over and say hello to him.Be sure to leave your contact information this time.

At this time, Dong Youwei hurried out after receiving a call, and came back later and whispered in Jing Gao's ear: "Mr. Jing, the people from the embassy are here to look for you."
