My Life Can Hang

The fund that competes with LVMH is from the United States.

This fund was established relatively early, but it was suddenly acquired at the recent stage.

Then, several consortiums received capital injections, and the fundraising was completed in a low-key manner.

However, according to the information obtained by many institutions, this Junting Fund manages assets of 30 billion U.S. dollars, and its strength is not impressive.

However, what puzzled Roland Vos is that according to the other party's current offer, if the debt is added, it has exceeded the other party's tolerance limit.

Could it be that this Junting Fund has other allies?

"Make an appointment with Mr. Li, I want to meet him."

Roland Voss did not dare to be careless and instructed the secretary to contact Li Changqing.

He felt that it was necessary for him to know more about the situation of the King's Court Fund.

Louis Minxuan is easy to say, its head Arnault is not unfamiliar.

But for the King's Court Fund, Roland Voss is completely blank.

This is not a good signal.

If the Junting Fund bid is successful, it is likely that the new boss is already looking for someone to take his place.

This is not what Roland Voss wants to see.

……

Facing the invitation of Roland Voss, Li Changqing readily accepted the invitation.

The two met at a well-known restaurant in London.

After Roland Voss ordered, he cut to the chase and asked the question that had puzzled him for a long time.

"Mr. Li, I would like to know why your company is so persistent in acquiring Belmond Group. I think this will help change the attitude of the existing management towards your company."

"Mr. Voss, the acquisition of Belmond Group is just the first step in our efforts to build an internationally renowned hotel group.

We have full confidence in the development of Belmond after the acquisition.

In the Huaxia market, we have sufficient resources to help Belmond enhance its influence. "

Roland Voss nodded lightly, at least he now learned a key piece of information.

The boss behind Li Changqing is from China.

"After the acquisition, will you make adjustments to the management?"

Roland Voss asked in a deep voice, with unstoppable worry in his eyes.

That's what troubled him the most.

Louis Moet Xuan has promised not to fight, and will fully trust the management headed by him and give them more autonomy.

"I asked the boss, he is satisfied with your achievements in the past two years, and will invest more funds in the future to help you expand your global presence."

Li Changqing smiled: "If the Belmond Group can be successfully won by us, you will immediately control a high-quality resort in the Maldives."

"A resort in the Maldives?"

Roland Voss frantically searched for relevant memories, especially in the batch of resorts that were due to open in the remaining two months.

Suddenly the dark color stopped, and looked at Li Changqing suddenly.

"Mr. Li, your boss is..."

Obviously Roland Voss has guessed that the boss behind Li Changqing is Chen Dongcheng.

Jiaoli Island is definitely the most anticipated resort in the Maldives at the end of the year, and has a high reputation all over the world.

Re-associating Chen Dongcheng's worth, Li Changqing promised resources in the Chinese market.

It seems that the identity of the buyer is not too difficult to guess.

If it was that one, Roland Voss would not find it very strange.

Forbes last year's statistics have proven to be seriously substandard.

This year, Forbes re-released the list.

Chen Dongcheng rushed directly to the top ten. Just by selling Didi's stock and holdings of many companies, Chen Dongcheng left behind many rich and famous people for many years.

"I hope to have the opportunity to visit Mr. Chen. Our management welcomes Mr. Chen's entry."

Roland Voss's tone was very respectful.

"Sure, the deal is done, and the boss will meet you."

Li Changqing nodded with a smile, already knowing in his heart that Belmond's management would not do anything wrong.

Chapter 438. 437, Win Belmond (Second!)

When it comes to the Louis Moet Heen Group, many people may not be familiar with the bloody history behind it.

In the early years, Arnault was just an ordinary rich second generation.

No matter how Arnault's family history is mentioned, Chevalier, who has the title of "Napoleon in the luxury industry", cannot be avoided.

Chevalier is even more of a legend, and he is a force to be reckoned with.

Chevalier performed a miracle at the time.

Born in an ordinary family, by himself, he was admitted to the French National School of Administration.

What is the concept of the French National School of Administration?

The academy is known as the cradle of "French national leaders".

A total of 2 French presidents and 6 prime ministers have come out of this college.

Minister-level officials are even more numerous.

In other words, this kind of academy is not for people from ordinary families to be admitted.

Chevalier's admission to the French National School of Administration was just a small climax of his own acquaintance.

At school, Chevalier displayed a superhuman emotional intelligence.

I don't even know if God was intentionally instructing him to make him acquainted with a few classmates who were particularly close.

One of them was the future President of France Chirac.

This is not surprising. At that time, Charles de Gaulle, who was idle at home, did not know if he was obsessed, and accepted Chevalier as his student.

For the French people, Charles de Gaulle was no less controversial than Napoleon.

But no matter what, de Gaulle's energy and connections in the political world greatly benefited Chevalier.

With the relationship between de Gaulle and Chirac, Chevalier was like a duck to water.

Although he chose to leave politics later, it did not prevent him from using his circle of friends.

Chevalier is still hanging out. He has a senior who was president of the Bank of France at the time, named Lemir.

Remire gave Chevalier a veiled suggestion that Moët & Chandon, which makes high-end champagne, is looking for a new leader.

Moreover, the Moët family is willing to give up the management power and hand over the group to a team of professional managers.

Chevalier, who was active, immediately felt that the opportunity had come.

So he proposed himself and successfully persuaded the Moët family to become the president of the Moët Group.

Leaving aside other things, how could the Moët family refuse Chevalier's political connections alone?

After that, Chevalier used Moet's Champagne's personal connections to spend a huge amount of advertising costs, linking it with the aristocracy.

With Moët & Chandon in his hands, it took only 11 months for Moet & Chandon to turn losses into profits, and the stock price rose rapidly.

The open life continues, and the ambitious Chevalier is eyeing another high-end wine brand - Hennessy.

As one of the three major cognacs in the world, it has a history of more than 200 years.

Hennessy had more than half of the global brandy market in the 60s.

In the 70s, however, Hennessy's shares pledged to BNP Paribas were at risk of being liquidated due to falling stock prices.

The Hennessy family also had to consider selling shares.

At this time, Chevalier's good senior, Lemir, the president of BNP Paribas, appeared again and introduced Chevalier to the Hennessy family.

Chevalier persuaded the Moët family to buy Hennessy shares held by BNP Paribas.

On the other hand, using the senior's connections, BNP Paribas provided leveraged funds to acquire the remaining shares of Hennessy.

The two companies were successfully merged to create the famous Moet Group.

This is only the second half of Louis Moet Heen's work.

The Louis in the first half refers to the Louis Vuitton Group.

After the listing, Yi Vuitton Group continued to expand its capital.

The head of the group, Henri Lacamier, the son-in-law of the Vuitton family, urgently needs outside support.

The wealthy Chevalier tried to enter the luxury market before, but the results were mediocre.

Coinciding with this great opportunity, he began to acquire the idea of ​​​​the old luxury brand Louis Vuitton.

After the merger of the two, it is simply a shocking wave in the luxury industry.

The merger of the two originally unrelated groups directly created a behemoth.

However, the newly established LVMH group may seem huge, but it is very fragile.

Chevalier and Lacamier, the two actual shareholders, disagreed with the other.

LV and MH are like water and oil solutions. They seem to be contained in a cup, but they are actually distinct.

From the brand core concept, business part, personnel distribution, all independent.

What is even more difficult to reconcile is that Chevalier, who was taken over by Min Xuan's party halfway, has no "family feelings" at all, and believes in the professional manager system.
