Hong Kong's new giants

Sophie Marceau recalled the situation at the time. She was actually not very familiar with Monica. She only met once when she was on the platform for Gucci and got to know her briefly.

"It seems to be quite young. I thought she was only in her 20s at the time, but now that I think about it, it's unlikely. She has also acted in movies before..."

"So, I didn't lie to you! Or, let me introduce you to get to know each other again, and let's make an appointment together."

Sophie Marceau looked at Lin Zuhui in surprise, then angrily gave him a punch, and said, "Don't think about such a good thing, I am wronged enough to be your lover?"

Wronged P, you are 'second marriage'.Of course, Lin Zuhui also likes those who have experience, and they are suitable for all sizes.

Lin Zuhui said solemnly: "It's just that we met each other!"

Sophie Marceau looked at Lin Zuhui suspiciously, finally unable to resist the temptation, she nodded.

Chapter 717 [Double Beads]

The next day, Sophie Marceau followed Lin Zuhui to take a private plane to Milan.

For Italy, Lin Zuhui is full of favors, because he has two brands that were acquired from Italy - Gucci and Fila; at present, Gucci's headquarters is still in Milan, and although Fila's headquarters has moved to the United States, Italy still remains. Has a European headquarters.

Gucci has been performing well since the acquisition by Barings Bank, and has made great progress in acquisitions. So far, it is very satisfactory; Gucci’s acquisitions are generally European design studios and manufacturers (leather, textiles, etc.), Rather than other brands, the purpose is to strengthen the supply chain of the Gucci brand.

In Lin Zuhui's heart, Gucci corresponds not to LVMH, but to Chanel.

……

Arnault, the president of LVMH Group, came to Gucci headquarters and couldn't help but secretly annoyed.

At the beginning, he intended to acquire Gucci, but Barings Bank took the lead; last year, LVMH Group intended to acquire the Italian luxury brand 'Fendi', and met Gucci again.

The two bought Fendi shares in the secondary market at the same time, which naturally caused an increase in costs. The important thing is that Arnault does not want Gucci to expand the brand, because he is worried that Lin Zuhui will fully enter the luxury group.

Who is Lin Zuhui?Arnault understands very well that he is also the richest man in the world who made his fortune through acquisitions. If he fully enters the luxury goods group, it is hard to imagine that he will be the strongest opponent of the LVMH Group, which is far more threatening than the single brand of Gucci and Chanel.

Just in time, Arnault wanted to take advantage of the outbreak of the 911/[-] incident and the global economic downturn, and took the opportunity to buy the shares of Fendi held by Gucci and completely take down Fendi.

In the conference room, Gucci President Robert led the team and received Arnault and his party.

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Arnault got straight to the point: "President Robert, the purpose of our visit this time is to buy the Fendi stock in your hands, and I hope you will be successful. After all, if the two of us continue to argue, neither of us will be able to achieve our goal; And now, we hold 30% of the shares, you are definitely not as high as us."

Robert showed a generous smile. He knew that the boss never thought of taking Fendi from the beginning to the end. This deal was just to take advantage of the opportunity to rob the stock market.

"President Arnault, we have communicated beforehand that we do intend to sell it, but we will never sell it at a low price. We will not back down if we say $5 million."

"The global economy is in a downturn, and we cannot accept this price."

"Haha, President Arnault was joking. The global economic downturn is short-lived. Moreover, if we make a big acquisition in the secondary market of Fendi at this time, we may be the first to achieve a controlling stake; or, we hold 21% of the equity in our hands for a long time. , and take the opportunity to increase part of the holdings, I believe that in this way, you will not be willing."

Everyone knows that what Arnault likes most is to hold a company first, such as holding 35% or 51% of the shares, and then take the opportunity to slowly increase the holdings.

So this time, if it only holds 30% of the shares, it is obviously very unsuccessful. LVMH Group obviously will not be just an investor. After all, what they are good at is sending group management and designers to change the acquired company.

The two sides were fighting each other, but Robert insisted not to let go, because the boss said that Arnault wanted Fendi very much, and he would definitely give this price.

And Gucci can obtain a net profit of about 21 million US dollars by selling 8000% of its shares. There is no such good opportunity in this world.

Arnault was indeed very annoyed. The determination of the Gucci team made him very annoyed, but he had to admit that he wanted to get a controlling stake in Fendi.

In the end, Arnault could only obediently agree to the price of 5000 million US dollars higher than expected.

……

Lin Zuhui was very proud when he came to Gucci headquarters.

When he came to the office, he talked with President Robert and creative director Tom Ford.

First of all, Lin Zuhui said: "The September 911 incident broke out, and luxury goods are expected to have a weak period, but we don't need to worry. Gucci's potential is huge, and it is far from being released."

Robert and Tom Ford nodded one after another. They admired Lin Zuhui's eyes.

In fact, Lin Zuhui and Barings Bank rarely intervene in Gucci's operations, almost handing over full authority to Robert and Tom Ford.However, these two people also admire Lin Zuhui very much, and have always attached great importance to Lin Zuhui's opinions.

Because of this, Lin Zuhui is considering a question, that is, Tom Ford's contract will expire in June 2004, will he leave like his previous life.

The reason why the previous life could not agree was that Kering Group did not want the power of the president and creative director to be greater than that of the group. This was a dispute over management rights; the second reason was salary.

At this time, Tom Ford's annual salary is 600 million U.S. dollars, and there are also a large number of stock options, which are expected to be worth more than 1 million U.S. dollars.

Of course, he is worth the price, because Gucci was driven by Tom Ford.

Therefore, Lin Zuhui then said directly: "Tom, I want to complete the contract renewal with you ahead of schedule!"

Tom Ford was taken aback, and said, "Boss, I still have two and a half years before the flag is full, so it's hard to answer this question now. But I can tell you that I regard Gucci as a career, not a job."

Lin Zuhui smiled and said: "So, we have the best conditions for contract renewal. As for the treatment, you know, I am not a stingy boss. You can ask Barings Bank for the conditions, and I will do my best to renew the contract. Of course, The reason why I want to renew the contract in advance is because I want you to incubate a brand internally for Gucci, which is the brand you created; at the same time, I hope you cultivate or tap young assistants, or share your responsibility in Gucci brand affairs. Designers, I suggest you pay attention to Fendi's female designer Frida Giannini."

He is not directing blindly, but is very professional in the layout. After all, he has been in business for so many years, and he is extremely smart, and he is no stranger to the field of luxury goods.

Tom Ford saw Lin Zuhui's sincerity, and Barings Bank actually delegated power to Robert and him, so he became a little moved.It is his own idea to incubate his own brand within Gucci.And he can see that Lin Zuhui is very serious and generous, so he doesn't have to worry about remuneration.

"Okay, I will seriously think about this question! As for Frida Giannini, I am very impressed with her, she is indeed better, and I will win her over."

Selling Fendi's shares to LVMH Group at a high price, and immediately poaching Fendi's female designers, is undoubtedly an opponent.Not enough LVMH has no shortage of designers, and they pay more attention to the designers trained by the LVMH Group, so there is no problem.

Lin Zuhui nodded with a smile. Tom Ford is very influential in the fashion industry, which is equivalent to the Lafayette of Chanel; in addition, after leaving Gucci in the previous life, the brand created by others is worth billions of dollars, which shows that others deserve high rewards .

"Gucci will re-list in about five years, you can consider your own conditions!"

"Thank you boss"

Tom Ford said sincerely that he understood what Lin Zuhui said, that he could consider giving incentive equity.

Robert on the side is not very jealous. He is definitely not paid as much as Tom Ford. The president of luxury goods is not as effective as the creative director, let alone Tom Ford, who has made great contributions to breaking down Gucci; It's also very generous, and it also has stock options.

Then, Lin Zuhui said to Tom Ford: "This time, you have made a huge profit of 8000 million US dollars from the LVMH group. You can consider acquiring a brand. Although we will focus on Gucci, it does not prevent us from cultivating and acquiring promising brands. For Gucci The brand complements."

Robert nodded and said, "Okay, Tom and I will look for the target!"

What kind of brand is worth buying, Tom Ford also has a say.

Seeing that there was no conflict between the two, Lin Zuhui felt relieved.

Marceau, Bellucci

Milan, a villa.

Monica and Sophie Marceau stood on the balcony on the second floor. The two beauties looked at the lawn downstairs. Lin Zuhui was playing with a pair of children born to Monica.

"I'm curious, why do children like him?" Sophie Marceau asked puzzled.

In her opinion, Lin Zuhui is by no means a competent father. I don't know how many lovers and children he has, and it is impossible to be a competent father just by being with him.

Monica looked at the warm scene on the lawn, and said happily: "He has a special affinity, which is effective for women and children. I believe you should understand."

Sophie Marceau immediately thought back and found that it was true. If this man was not particularly attractive, she would not go to his bed for the second time.

Thinking of this, Sophie Marceau hurriedly leaned over to look at Monica.

Seeing this, Monica immediately understood what Sophie Marceau was looking at, and she said generously: "You can try it with your hands, by the way, I forgot to tell you, I am 37 years old this year, and I met you when I was 27 years old. his."

Sophie Marceau suddenly became unbelievable, because she felt that Monica's real age was only 25 or [-] years old, and her skin was like a girl's.The only thing that is not girly is that S's figure is too good.

"That can really keep your face?" Sophie Marceau couldn't help asking.

Monica smiled and said, "I don't know, he's the one talking! But anyway, I dare not leave him, and I can't bear to leave him."

Sophie Marceau understood immediately, but she was still too shocked, which obviously violated science.

No, maybe it's science.

the other side.

Lin Zuhui had a great time with his only pair of mixed-race children (first generation).

He and Monica have a son and a daughter. The eldest son was born in 1994, and the youngest daughter was born in 1997. Because they come to Xiangjiang for gatherings every winter and summer vacation, and Lin Zuhui occasionally visits Europe, it is not considered a birth.

Makes a dollop almost in no time!In fact, most of the credit is due to their mother. Monica does not transmit negative influences, so naturally the children will not be unfamiliar with their father.

Because of this, conquering their mother is more important than anything else.

……

The next day.

Lin Zuhui took Monica, Sophie Marceau, and a pair of children to the streets of Milan.

After the communication last night, Sophie and Monica are like sisters at this time, while Lin Zuhui is holding his daughter and his son by his side.

Sophie held Monica's arm and whispered, "You gave up your acting career for him, don't you regret it?"

Monica turned around and said in surprise: "Why should I regret it? First, I voluntarily gave up my acting career, because I felt that I hadn't made any achievements at the age of 27; second, I like my current career. Being rich, or being a boss, is more of a challenge than acting."

Not only does she serve as a director at Gucci, but she also owns her own business—red wine, clothing, and real estate, so she doesn't feel bored at all. When she wants a man, she flies to Hong Kong.

Sophie Marceau let out an 'oh' and said, "I thought he was the one who asked you to quit the showbiz. It seems he is not that kind of person!"

Monica defended Lin Zuhui and said, "Don't worry, he is a very confident man, and he won't mind your career in acting."

"It doesn't matter if he minds, I don't want to give everything for him!"

"Okay, I support you!"

the other side.

Lin Zuhui hugged his mixed-race daughter, and occasionally looked back at Monica and Sophie Marceau, they are really beauties and fairies!Last night, he really felt the charm of western beauties.

Although Lin Zuhui still has the pair of sisters Paris and Nikki, it is obvious that he cannot be with the pair of "sisters" Sophie and Monica, which makes him feel more fulfilled and happy.

"Baba, have I got another mommy?" the mixed-race daughter Annie said wisely.

Good guy, he's only four years old, and he knows everything!

Lin Zuhui hooked her nose and said with a smile, "It's Auntie, little guy!"

Sophie Marceau will not be included in the family office because she also has a son.Even if she gave birth to her own child, she would be fair to the two children. Who knows if she will give her property to other people's cubs in the future!

The reason why Lin Zuhui agreed to Sophie Marceau to give her a child was because he didn't want to pay too much, so she was not too important to Lin Zuhui.

Chapter 718 [Chaebol Life]

In late November, Lin Zuhui arrived in Seoul by private jet.

He is now a "mobility" investment tycoon, mainly for layout, while his subsidiaries are managed by management.

Of course, because he has more than 20 years of experience in the future, he doesn't need to learn from Buffett and Li Chaoren. He can study financial statements and conduct long-term investigations, etc.; therefore, Lin Zuhui can save a lot of time and make the best investment. The right choice.

At the same time, he didn't completely let go of the operation of the enterprise. On the contrary, he has been paying attention and participating; and because of his super high IQ and developed memory, he can always get twice the result with half the effort.

"Oppa"

After Lin Zuhui got off the plane, he heard the sound of "Ouba" soon. Following the sound, it was Zheng Mengxian's daughter Zheng Zhiyi.

At the beginning, Zheng Mengxian's wife Xuan Enzhen intended to send her daughter to Lin Zuhui for training, but Lin Zuhui politely refused, but the two did not break up because of this, and Zheng Zhiyi became Lin Zuhui's temporary assistant when he came to Korea.

Although the two had only been in contact three times, their relationship grew day by day.Zheng Zhiyi regards Lin Zuhui as an idol, coupled with Lin Zuhui's extremely charismatic personality, naturally he has almost captured his heart.

And Lin Zuhui saw that Zheng Zhiyi was handsome and knowledgeable, and Hyundai Group was his pawn in Korea (excluding Hyundai Motor and Hyundai Heavy Industries), so he naturally had the idea of ​​developing a relationship with Zheng Zhiyi.

The important thing is that Xuan En really intends to give his daughter to him as a lover, so that he can get the help of Lin Zuhui, a hard-core ally. After all, the couple is struggling at home and abroad.

As for why Lin Zuhui didn't think about the three-star eldest princess in the first place, he actually felt that apart from gaining a heart, Samsung would not be his help. On the contrary, he would guard against Lin Zuhui and even hate Lin Zuhui for getting involved with the eldest princess.

"Zhiyi, it's been a long time and you're pretty again!" Lin Zuhui praised when they met.

A blush appeared on Zheng Zhiyi's face, and he couldn't hide his joy in his heart.

"Ouba, you can make girls happy, hehe!"

The two quickly got into the car while talking, and then walked towards Zheng's house. They made an appointment for dinner tonight.

Of course, this convoy is owned by Lin Zuhui in South Korea, and the drivers and bodyguards are all his. He will not completely hand over himself to anyone.Although Lin Zuhui believed that the loyal and cowardly Zheng Mengxian would never harm him.

In the business car, Lin Zuhui looked at Zheng Zhiyi, wearing a very formal uniform, exuding the charm of a professional woman; she was a little fat, but just right.

"Ouba, why are you looking at girls like this?" Zheng Zhiyi said shyly, but there was a trace of expectation in his heart.

Lin Zuhui didn't speak, but approached Zheng Zhiyi, smelling the faint scent of perfume, and then slowly approached, smelling the fragrance of a girl's virginity.

Zheng Zhiyi closed his eyes, and even leaned forward slightly, expectantly.

Lin Zuhui posted it decisively, and then went deep into the attack position.

a long time.

When the two separated, it was Zheng Zhiyi who pushed Lin Zuhui away.
