The luxurious Rolls-Royce slowly walked along the beautiful and slightly quiet streets of the 16th arrondissement. In fact, people coming from China often feel that their streets are a bit deserted. After all, in terms of population density, except for prosperous commercial areas, it is really incomparable with China.
Sitting in this bulletproof version of the luxury car purchased by Jing Gaoxin, watching the scenery on the street corner, Teacher Zheng sighed softly in his heart, put down the red wine in his hand, and said goodbye: "Mr. Jing, my mission is accomplished, I I should also say goodbye to you. This time I really lived up to my trust."
Mr. Jing gave him a very generous reward, including 2 million euros for his trip to France. This is too much for him. He is basically doing shows and writing manuscripts now, and he is in a retired state.
Therefore, he has been working hard these days to tell the new story of Zhaoshi Group to his former colleagues:
Xihe Alpha Fund, the controlling shareholder behind Zhaoshi Group, will gradually reduce its shareholding ratio and share development dividends with the French people. We are a global company committed to providing the highest quality, luxurious experience to consumers around the world.
This is the rhetoric plan given by the think tank behind Mr. Jing. But the rhetorical plan is the rhetorical plan. It can fool ordinary people in France, but it has no appeal to reporters who have been intertwined with power all year round.
Jing Gao had a good impression of the white-haired and elegant Teacher Zheng, especially the stories he told, which gave him a deeper understanding of France as a country and society.
For example: the story about the privacy of publishers and politicians that Teacher Zheng told revealed the separation of powers in France: administration, consortium, and media system. The media is a one-pole story. This was beyond his knowledge.
Another example: The program for French sinologists is essentially a training system. Any scholar who speaks for China will not have the opportunity to appear on TV and will not make money. For published books, royalties are often in arrears.
Another example: The United States and the West often shout "We have the people...", but what is real freedom in France? Many people give examples all day long: In country xx, you can scold the commander-in-chief, but can you in country x? Well, similarly, in France, there are some speech taboos that must not be discussed in public. It's politically incorrect.
For example: In France, it is "politically incorrect" to believe that colonial crimes, like the crimes committed by Germany and Japan against the Japanese during World War II, are also crimes of genocide, and that France should also apologize and compensate.
Anyone who dares to do this will be suppressed and blocked by the media.
Therefore, those who shout "Although I don't agree with your point of view, but I will defend to the death your right to speak" are all stupid idiots who have no idea and have been deceived!
Never heard that joke? "Shut up, we're talking about free speech!"
Another example: the overall desire of the French nation. That is to say, when a controversial book or other thing appears, everyone will deny it in public interviews or on camera, but in private these controversial books will sell very well.
This is not just a gossip mentality. It is a phenomenon unique to other countries.
Another example: the French liberation movement in the 1960s and 1970s. This directly led to the disintegration of the family-based structure of French society. This has led to a large number of single mothers in France and various "chaos" that violate ethics and morals.
If you don’t understand what this means, you can watch more French movies. Sophie Marceau, Adjani and so on. Look at how those directors expressed French society. Remember, art comes from life!
Many people like to say that the French are romantic. So, let’s take a closer look at what this kind of romance is? Their social unit is no longer the family. But each person.
…
When faced with Teacher Zheng's resignation, Jing Gao persuaded him to stay: "Mr. Zheng, the next thing has to be left to the advertising company, but I still need your talent to provide me with advice. I hope you stay."
Teacher Zheng's heart warmed at these words, and he sighed, "Mr. Jing, I'm so ashamed. Then I'll stay shamelessly and try my best, hoping that it can have some effect. Otherwise, I'm really sorry for you."
"I will definitely do it, I will definitely do it." Jing Gao stood up and poured half a glass of red wine for Teacher Zheng. "I recognize Teacher Zheng's talent and ability very much. I hope to get your advice.
In fact, this matter is mainly because I, as the person in charge, have not thought about it. Now we mainly focus on public relations for advertising agencies. When the public opinion situation improves later, Teacher Zheng will need to use your knowledge and connections to promote it. "
After these words solved the knot in Teacher Zheng's heart, Jing Gao and his party returned to the villa by car.
Back in the villa, Jing Gao found his assistants and started arranging work. Dong Youwei, Chen Qingshuang, Gu Xixi and their subordinate teams quickly became busy. Domestic secretarial offices that are on call 24 hours a day are in action. It's almost dawn in China now.
Soon, all kinds of information were gathered in front of Jing Gao.
This time, Jing Gao did not stay in the study that was converted into an office area on the second floor. Instead, he made a phone call in his bedroom on the third floor of the villa. He just called Wei Chenjun from Chenxi Bank, and is now calling Guo Lingyu, the head of LP Investment Group (Lili-Phoenix Investment Group Limited).
In fact, after a visit to the embassy today, Jing Gao's thinking suddenly became clear.
how to say? In the past two days, a public relations company was used to "fix" the possible intervention of the French administrative department. Now it is determined to use advertising companies to "fix" French media opinion. According to his plan, the third step is to negotiate with capital.
For normal business logic, he may have to consider how to "struggle for unity." After all, Zhaoshi Group is what he wants to protect.
But to a powerful person, what is money?
What are the costs?
What is profit?
Therefore, what I want is not to compromise, but to take ruthless revenge on the LVMH group that initiated the war!
So, he called Wei Chenjun and Guo Lingyu. Wei Chenjun is in Hong Kong Island. As a gold medal stock broker, she has her network and abilities in the capital market. However, she rarely does the European stock market. Her main focus is on the United States.
Of course, since March this year, the Golden Retriever General has signed an order to increase tariffs. Taichu and Phoenix Group have internally communicated that the group executives are not unnecessary and will not enter the territory of the five Angsa countries. She won't enter the country.
Jing Gao needs her to transfer a group of traders to Europe and Paris. LVMH Group is a listed company in Paris.
Jing Gao called Guo Lingyu to mobilize the shell companies under the LP Group and diversify their holdings in Zhaoshi Group. The speech plans provided to him by the scholars in Taichu Think Tank were not just talk, but serious ones.
If you want to eliminate the traces of Chinese capital on Zhaoshi Group, the way is actually very simple. First, it is listed in Paris or the US stock market. Going public means giving profits to certain capital. Why were the five major investment banks on Wall Street back then: Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley so rampant? Because the threshold for U.S. stock listings is in their hands.
Therefore, if some unicorn companies want to obtain a higher valuation and raise funds, they have to transfer a batch of stocks to them at a low price.
From ancient times to the present, as long as you read history and understand information, there is nothing new. What are the five major investment banks? Isn't it just the job of a casino thug and bookmaker?
Second, after the listing, the Japanese-style consortium was used to secretly control the Zhaoshi Group.
According to the Japanese-style consortium's cross-shareholding, marriage, listing, mergers and acquisitions, etc., the final result may be that Xihe Alpha Fund currently only holds about 3% of the shares of Zhaoshi Group, but the voting rights may exceed 30%. %.
That is to say, relative control over Zhaoshi Group has been achieved to a certain extent.
Of course, the lost profits must be replenished elsewhere. It may be a subsidiary of Zhaoshi Group, or it may be a company of a partner. It’s so wrong!
Since Idaka wants to clean up the LVMH group behind the scenes, he certainly doesn’t want to list it in Paris. The remaining options are London and Frankfurt. Europe is so big.
"Mr. Jing, my personal advice is not to go public in Germany." Guo Lingyu said with a smile on the phone.
