Pino Jr.'s villa is not far from Denton-Glaser's villa, and its Barot-style roof can be seen at night. Walking in Paris at night in early June, the breeze is blowing, making people feel very cool.
The luxurious villas on both sides were brightly lit, and faint noises could be heard. Guests were constantly coming in and out, and various vehicles were temporarily parked along the street. A lavish party is going on. This is the norm at night in Paris.
"Boss, I have ordered...to be blocked." As soon as he arrived in front of Pino's villa, Denton Glaser's assistant quickly chased over and whispered in his ear.
Denton Glaser nodded slightly and said sincerely to Jing Gao who was not far away: "Mr. Jing, I'm very sorry. I have ordered this male model to be driven out of Paris and banned from the European fashion circle. I promise this is just an accident. . Where is President Dong? I apologized to her in person."
At this time, the two sides are facing each other, and it is not an exaggeration to call it a "war".
All the big shots in Paris who are paying attention to the events of Zhaoshi Group understand that Dong Lingxi, the president and chief financial officer of Zhaoshi Group, is the spokesperson of Jing Gao, and she is a very key figure.
For example, for Bernard Arnault, Arnaud Lagardère and others, assassinating Dong Lingxi at the necessary moment will definitely reverse the situation.
Up to now, the board of directors of Zhaoshi Group has not yet been convened. The extraordinary general meeting of shareholders was not convened. The removal of Dong Lingxi, the director designated by Jing Gao, was delayed for half a year to a year, or simply until the end of the term of the current board of directors in three years. This period of time was enough to wipe out most of the assets of Zhaoshi Group. !
Of course, Zhaoshi Group CEO Carl Behrman, who cooperated with the implementation, will definitely be subject to legal proceedings initiated by Jing Gao afterwards, and Jing Gao will most likely win the lawsuit.
If you pay a lawyer, you won't lose a case with similar evidence.
However, if this lawsuit is dragged out for three to five years, Zhaoshi Group, as the pursuer of LVMH Group, will have long been abandoned by the market. What is the use of winning the lawsuit? Those who deserve to be fed have already been fed.
Therefore, even if just a young male model approaches her at this time, it may cause misunderstanding.
Jing Gao nodded calmly, approved the banning order, and said: "Denton, I believe you. I have asked President Dong to go back and rest."
In the business world, people's hearts are treacherous, and everyone is interested in it. He didn't care whether it was an accident that the little male model came into contact with Dong Lingxi, or whether there was some conspiracy behind it, or whether someone was instigating it. He drove her away because he was unhappy in his heart.
How dare you miss Lingxi.
Denton Glaser felt relieved and made a gesture: "Please!"
It's one thing that Idaka and Bernard Arnault's talks fell apart tonight, and he's under a lot of pressure. But it is estimated that Mr. Jing, a super rich man from China, is very angry now, and he does not want to be the target of his anger!
A super-rich man's career could be ruined if he gets angry.
Idaka and his entourage followed Denton Glaser in and were warmly greeted by the party steward.
...
...
Dong Lingxi did leave Jing Gao and go to the team at Little Pino's villa, but she did not go back to the villa in District 16 to rest. Instead, work begins in a commercial vehicle.
The soft light in the car shines on Dong Lingxi's charming and beautiful face, her skin is white and smooth. It also carries a style that has experienced the baptism of time.
Dong Lingxi's white fingers tapped on the laptop. She is sending emails to Zhaoshi Group CEO Carl Behrman, COO Harold Lynn, and twelve other presidents besides her through company emails.
The content of the email is the settlement conditions proposed by Bernard Arnault just now.
First, Zhaoshi Group is listed in Paris. Second, Xihe Alpha Fund reduces its shareholding ratio but maintains voting rights to ensure control of Zhaoshi Group. Third, LVMH needs to appoint a director.
Dong Lingxi didn’t say anything unnecessary, but wrote at the end of the email: Please think carefully!
Bernard-Arnault's conditions were clearly meant to gain profits, but to the current executives of Zhaoshi Group, even if this was a settlement agreement, His Majesty ignored them and still recognized that Jing Gao controlled Zhaoshi Group. So, you executives have to think clearly, how do you deal with this?
Should you follow Karl Behrmann's path to the end, or should you jump ship and join me?
After Dong Lingxi finished sending the email, he held his cheeks and leaned slightly on the comfortable leather car seat, his thoughts slightly scattered.
The "reconciliation conditions" were told to her by Ouyang Wan, who had participated in the entire negotiation just now, and he also conveyed Jing Gao's strategy of "making merit" for the CEOs of Zhaoshi Group: spread the news quickly.
She dressed up specially tonight to please her own beauty, but in the end, she attracted bees and butterflies! I don't know what he thinks of her. Is it not possible to spread the news using a mobile phone?
"Fetion" used within the group also has group and real-time communication functions. Supports various languages and Yijian translation.
On the contrary, Chen Qingshuang, who was also a plump beauty like her, dressed simply and was still beside him.
Are all the little girls today so awesome?
Just as Dong Lingxi was regaining some composure within the Zhaoshi Group, she was relieved of the pressure and was thinking happily, when her cell phone rang three minutes after the email was sent.
It was the message in Fetion, the instant messaging software used for work.
The first person to send her a message was Gardner, the president in charge of the news media. He expressed his allegiance: Mr. Dong, you know me. I have always been very supportive of your work. I will continue to maintain a positive work ethic under the banner of Mr. Jing and under your guidance.
Didi.
Didi.
With the arrival of this news, Dong Lingxi's mobile phone began to receive messages.
The presidents of Zhaoshi Group expressed their opinions to her one after another.
The corners of Dong Lingxi's mouth couldn't help but curl up. A few days ago, when public opinion in France and China was at its peak, Mr. Jing looked confident. Coming to negotiate with Bernard Arnault today, this is probably the biggest gain, right?
awesome!
...
...
The party in Denton Glaser's villa was still going on, and in the room on the second floor, Bernard Arnault, Arnold Lagardère, Arthur Lagardère, and Louis Froude were sitting together. Didn't leave.
Bernard-Arnault had just called someone and continued to inquire about Jing Gao. They are still waiting.
About half an hour later, Mr. Thomas, who belonged to the Lagardère Consortium, came in from the outside with sweat on his forehead, went to Arnold Lagardère and whispered a few words in a low voice.
Arnold Lagardère leaned on the soft and comfortable sofa and fell asleep. After listening, he slowly raised his hand and said: "Thomas, please inform everyone again."
"Yes, sir."
Thomas did not wipe the sweat from his forehead with a handkerchief, but informed the other three big figures in the room of the news he had just received: "Just now, the reconciliation terms proposed by Mr. Arnault were communicated within the Zhaoshi Group at the president level. . There are a total of thirteen presidents of Zhaoshi Group, and most of them have expressed their allegiance to Jing Gao.
Karl Behrman called me and said he could no longer control the situation at Zhaoshi Group. "
All eyes in the room fell on Bernard Arnault.
Everyone here is not an idiot. It is impossible not to know that the settlement terms may be leaked. Even if they have not considered it, their respective secretaries, assistants, and think tanks will help check for leaks and fill in the gaps.
It is impossible for them not to know the impact that the leak of the news will have on "little people" like Karl Behrman. But who cares what happens to these little guys?
They just need to reap their profits.
Under the current situation, we can't ask Jinggao to hand over control of Zhaoshi Group, right? Is it still necessary to meet just before tonight?
So this was an expected situation, but it was extremely unpleasant for it to spread so quickly and shake their early plans!
It's one thing to know, but it's another thing for your opponent to react quickly.
There is a feeling in everyone's mind that the overall situation is going "downhill" for them.
Bernard-Arnault leaned slightly sluggishly on the comfortable single seat. After all, he was a seventy-year-old man and could not maintain the elegant sitting posture of an aristocratic style for a long time. After waiting for so long, even with the stimulation of alcohol, he was a little mentally exhausted. At this time, he nodded gently to the bald Thomas and said calmly: "We understand."
"..." Thomas hesitated. He wanted to ask: Mr. Arnault, do we need to help Karl Behrmann? The words came to his lips and he retracted them.
"You go out first." Arnold Lagardère waved his hand and asked his men to go out. He knew what this subordinate was going to say. However, things have changed.
The problem now is: they cannot suppress and defeat the Zhaoshi Group in a short time. And Jinggao was already going to fight back.
It is impossible for most of their attention and energy to be focused on Zhaoshi Group. But beware of what Jing Gao will do. Guard against his "attack". Only the "main battlefield" here determines the outcome, and the "marginal battlefield" of Zhaoshi Group will have results.
In any case, the situation has reached this transition point. He had realized that the drums of war were already beating.
Arnold Lagardère looked at his friend.
Bernard-Arnault nodded and uttered one word, "Wait."
There is a tacit understanding between the two, and they will wait for news for a while.
