The wheels rolled forward and time continued to pass. Dong Qiangqiang cheered up, took out a pen and paper, and first clicked on Vivendi's folder.
The folder contains six secondary categories: "Company's Public Information in the Past Three Years", "Company's Related Parties", "Company's Upstream and Downstream Customers", "Competitors", "Company's M&A Projects" and "Special Matters" arranged by serial number. folder.
He opened the "Company's Public Information for the Past Three Years", which contained all the public information of Vivendi, such as the annual reports of the past three years, important announcements, some research reports written by other institutions, and media report briefings, etc. It seemed that Duanmu had indeed committed the crime. effort.
He read document after document while transcribing important information on the notepad. After a while, the notebook was filled with words.
After a few crisp clicks of the mouse, Dong Qiangqiang's eyes fell on the folder of "Special Matters". He remembered the words in Duanmu's email and opened the folder curiously. The first one among all the files was an email. TXT file of "Read Me First".
"Old Director, if you go to meet the other party, there will only be two results: meeting the person in charge of investor relations in the other company or not meeting him. And there are also two results for meeting the person: being perfunctory or being taken seriously. If If it’s the latter, then you must communicate with important people one by one according to the requirements in the previous document. Of course, I think the probability of the former is greater. Even if you think the other party is perfunctory, you must insist on communicating with employees in different positions, or If you ask to enter the other party's factory or office area to visit or take photos, the other party will most likely reject your request directly. In the end, it is also very likely that you will be kicked out without seeing anyone. Please don't be discouraged at this time, you can still do it. Take photos outside the company or communicate with people who know the company. The other party has no right to interfere with you at this time. Collect as much material as possible within the scope of the law. Remember that the photos must not be fake and the recording must be clear. In addition, Vivendi Public Many business factories are located on the outskirts of Paris. If you can't get into the (company) office building, you can try to walk around the factory, and you might find something else. The last thing I say is, pay attention to safety."
He quickly browsed the documents in "Special Matters". The due diligence plan inside was completely different from the content in the previous due diligence documents. It seemed that statistical work accounted for the majority. Before he could seriously compare the differences between the before and after documents, the train arrived. point.
The German high-speed train ICE can only send him to the German-French border. When entering France, he has to transfer to the French high-speed train TGV.
Five hours passed by in a flash, and the train pulled into the Gare de l'Est in Paris at the scheduled time. Dong Qiangqiang had already gone through all the documents. Although he was still unfamiliar with many of the contents, he had already memorized the key points. After all, there is no standard template for this kind of investigation (even Duanmu didn't give it to him), so he could only take it one step at a time.
To his slight relief, the Paris Gare de l'Est also had the Turkish meat buns he was familiar with. Although they were smaller than those in Germany, the price was 1 euro more expensive than those in Germany, and the taste was much worse, but he didn't care. , after all, I didn’t come to France for a big meal this time.
He stood on the side of the road and was about to reach out to take a taxi when he suddenly thought that many of the guys in Beijing were Kanye. They were eloquent, eloquent, and knowledgeable about astronomy and geography. Could it be that the guys in France were similar? Thinking of this, he began to pay attention to the taxis passing in front of him. When he finally saw a kind-faced female driver approaching from a short distance, he hurriedly waved and the taxi stopped steadily in front of him.
"Hello!" Dong Qiangqiang said hello awkwardly in French while handing the driver the address of the Vivendi office building. "I want to go to this place. How long will it take?" He asked in English with some worry. He knew a lot of French people. People don't like and don't speak English.
The driver inputs the address into the navigator. After two beeps, the result is displayed on the electronic screen of the navigator.
"About forty minutes, if there's no traffic jam." The driver replied kindly in English. Her pronunciation was not standard, but Dong Qiangqiang could understand it.
Her answer made Dong Qiangqiang very happy. It was a good thing for him to meet a French person who spoke English.
He threw his hiking bag to the left side of the back seat, resting his back against the back seat as much as possible while looking curiously at the world outside the window.
His impression of Paris was still in the movie "Escape from the Tiger's Mouth" he watched when he was a child. The cute little French man Louis de Fernes brought him countless childhood happiness. Whenever it was broadcast on TV, he would watch it again every time. They laughed every time. In his imagination, the city is known for its well-preserved 19th-century urban landscape, tree-lined boulevards throughout the city, the winding Seine River, the towering Eiffel Tower, and the Louvre Museum with countless extinct works of art. The Floating Museum and the Musée d'Orsay attract tourists from all over the world. No other place on earth has such a diverse range of art, architecture, fashion, culture and food like Paris, which has fascinated and yearned for countless people.
But when he really came to Paris and saw with his own eyes every plant, tree and brick here, he was shocked. This place was much more dilapidated and messy than he imagined. If it weren't for the huge tower outside the train station, It was hard for him to believe that this was the world-famous capital of art and fashion.
"Excuse me...has it always been like this here?" Dong Qiangqiang tried his best to avoid any discrimination in his tone.
"Oh, this is your first time in Paris?" the female driver said with a friendly smile, "Are you here to study or travel?"
The other party had very sharp eyesight, so Dong Qiangqiang smiled honestly: "Travel."
"This is the tenth district, (the location) is quite remote." The female driver turned the steering wheel skillfully, and the car went into the narrow alley on the side. The ancient cobblestone road was a bit bumpy, "It's quite congested in front, so just avoid this section. alright."
"Are there frequent traffic jams in Paris?" Dong Qiangqiang asked.
"Tourist cities are all like this." The female driver said with surprise and sighed softly, "This is Paris."
"Are you Parisian?"
"Of course, I am one of the few French people who can speak English." The female driver joked while driving the car skillfully in the alley. A few minutes later, the car got out of two residential buildings and drove back into the main street. road.
"The road will not be blocked in the future." The female driver explained.
Just as Dong Qiangqiang was about to ask a question, he seemed to see something out of the corner of his eye. He turned his head and saw that under the scorching sun, the flag he had seen on the night of the Cologne Carnival came into view again. Although the people holding the flags are different, their attire is the same.
The car drove forward quickly, and those people gradually disappeared behind the building.
"I want to go to the headquarters of Vivendi. Have you heard of this company?" He turned around and asked.
