"Gucci's current value is seriously underestimated, and it is difficult to get worse. If you buy this company, even if I really can't do it well, it's still profitable for you to replace other people to run it, "Sophia said, hesitating, and then said," if you don't want to, there's another plan. I'll buy 10% of Gucci's shares with the money you gave me. As long as you can support me, the Gucci family should be willing to let me run it. After a few years, if Gucci's situation turns better, you can consider buying more shares. "

Simon was noncommittal and said, "what about the wine business you originally planned to do?"

"The latter plan was originally intended to be used in the wine business," Sophia said. "My goal is lato, which is one of the five traditional chateau in Bordeaux and the only one for sale. In addition, Lafite and Mutong wineries are owned by the Rothschild family, obion winery is owned by the Dillon family, and Margo winery is owned by Felix botting. In the past few years, Chateau lato was controlled by two companies, Pearson group, which holds 75% of the shares, and Harvey & son, which holds 25% of the shares. Pearson group's main business is education and first edition. They only invest in lato. The original operation of the winery has been in charge of Harvey and son, which are engaged in the red wine trade. Some time ago, Harvey and son sought to sell their shares. My initial idea was to take over the 25% shares and the operation right of Latu. "

Simon listened quietly, and finally understood why a woman suddenly told her that she wanted to do something last time and offered such an attractive condition: "what happened later?"

Sophia, with a lost voice, said: "I was about to make an agreement with Harvey and his son, but another British company, United Leon group, suddenly stepped in and took the business."

Simon looked at Sophia's expression and said, "it's so easy to be robbed. Don't you fight for it?"

"The United Leon group is a comprehensive wine, food and fast food company with strong strength. Moreover, their offer is very high, and they are still seeking to acquire the shares of Pearson group. It is said that the offer for 75% of the shares of Pearson group has reached 100 million pounds. If the deal can be concluded, it will certainly be higher. " Sophia said, explaining: "Chateau lato is precious, but it's not worth the price. In 1976, Felix botting bought Margaux for only $16 million. In my opinion, the actual price of Chateau lato should be about $100 million, and the price that Harvey and I originally negotiated was about $25 million. "

100 million pounds, according to the current US dollar to pound ratio of 1.6, is 160 million dollars.

Sophia's ex husband's family is a wine merchant, and Simon does not doubt women's judgment in this regard.

Although he heard the name of Chateau lato, Simon was very interested. Even if it is not profitable to buy such a French national treasure winery, as a collection, it is much better than those famous paintings and antiques. However, since Sophia said that Chateau lato was not worth the high price, he would not do it.

I don't know when Jennifer is standing quietly by the bedroom door with some clothes in her arms.

Simon looked up, noticed the figure of the female assistant, looked at his watch and said, "it's almost time. We'll talk about it after dinner with representatives of the Gucci family."

Then he got up, took the clothes from Jennifer and turned to the bathroom.

In order to entertain representatives of Gucci family, an Italian restaurant near Kendall Hotel was specially selected for dinner.

Gucci's founder, Guccio Gucci, has three sons. Now it is the third generation, and the family is very large. In addition, Gucci's shares are not managed in a unified way, such as trust. Instead, they are evenly distributed to all family members, which leads to years of turmoil.

Up to now, most of the family members also understand that fighting will only cause the collapse of Gucci. So when Sophia began to mediate, the three families confirmed that Simon westero, a new and rising young tycoon, was standing behind the woman, and soon reached an agreement.

In fact, Sofia has basically won Simon's approval for being able to persuade the three companies that had been in trouble to send representatives to Melbourne to negotiate the acquisition at the same time. Otherwise, Sophia mentioned it on the phone, and Simon would not allow her to bring Gucci family members to Australia.

Although Simon made a beating gesture to Sophia in private discussion, at the dinner table, he began to discuss various issues of concern with Gucci family representatives very formally. Simon did some homework ahead of time and had a wonderful dinner.

At about 10 p.m. Melbourne time, the dinner ended. Although the deal has not yet been finalized, we all know that it has been settled.

Back in the hotel suite, Sophia had the same look at Simon.

Women are not surprised that Simon did some homework in advance, and they don't mind Simon's attitude changes before and after dinner. What surprised her was Simon's fluent Italian.The Gucci family comes from Italy, and few people can speak English. Sophia is proficient in Italian. Corsica, where she grew up, is closer to Italy than France. Originally, she wanted to help Simon translate at the dinner table, but unexpectedly found that the little man is more proficient in Italian than herself.

What's more, it's obvious that Simon has won the great favor of the Gucci family at the dinner table.

Into the room, this time did not stay in the living room, but came to the study.

Simon's expression was still strange. Sophia sat down across the desk, took out a folder from the nearby filing cabinet, opened it, and was about to say something when the phone on the desk rang. The American side will talk to him about this time tomorrow and signal Sophia to wait. Simon picks up the phone. Today's call is from Nancy Brill.

Simon talks to Nancy in a low voice. Jennifer brings in a pot of coffee and pours a cup for Simon and Sophia respectively. Then she doesn't leave. She quietly sits on the sofa beside her and looks at a piece of information, like an eye-catching shallot pretending that she doesn't exist.

"Well, Nancy, you can mortgage, but at most 5% Don't bargain with me. Daniels entertainment has underestimated the price of $2 billion. I can't agree with 10% It's not about risk. If Citibank can't accept it, forget it. "

Just after hanging up Nancy's phone, Amy calls back and talks about the dismissal of Ron McMillan.

Ron McMillan's ability in production can only be regarded as mediocre. Without the chance of "Lola Run", he will be an unknown marginal producer all his life.

Originally read the original "Lola Run" friendship, Simon just left him in the company. Since Ron McMillan cheated himself on the casting of scream last year, Simon has been distrusting each other.

With the continuous development and growth of danilisi entertainment, Simon has to pay more attention to loyalty than the ability of senior executives. He can allow senior executives to have different opinions with himself, but he will not tolerate them to deliberately deceive themselves.

In addition, Ron McMillan's personal style, which is easy to cause trouble for danielis entertainment, took advantage of this audit to get rid of the other party, and let Simon's mind go.

Hung up the phone and noticed that Jennifer was sitting quietly in the corner. Simon just bent his mouth and looked at Sophia across the desk. He joked, "I'm a little suspicious now that you two French women are ganging up and trying to pit me."

According to the information I have read, Nancy Brill immigrated to the United States only after she was in University. Brill is a standard French surname.

Sophia is also a standard Frenchman.

In the phone just now, Nancy insisted that there was no risk for Simon to mortgage danielis entertainment shares, but Simon still did not agree. What he needed was zero risk. Under the entanglement of Nancy, she was only willing to mortgage 5% in the end, and Simon also felt that he suffered some losses.

Of course, he also knows that with the increase of personal debt, the bank can not blindly allow him to get funds only through credit guarantee, and it is inevitable to provide mortgage.

Sophia listened to Simon's words, but her expression was a little blank. She also said, "boss, I didn't pit you."

Simon said with a smile: "the company has recently joined a French female executive. I'd like to introduce her to you when I'm free. You two, well, are quite similar in some ways. "

Sophia nodded, waiting for Simon to get to the point.

Simon no longer talks nonsense. He opened his folder and said, "I recently asked people to collect some information about LVMH group. Your idea is very correct. However, you haven't really taken care of the company alone. This is my biggest concern."

Thirty years later, as the world's largest luxury group, LVMH's market value once broke through the $100 billion mark. Although it is far from being comparable with apple, Amazon and other technology giants, as a non high-tech and non monopolistic industrial group, it is very rare for it to develop to such a scale.

According to the information in my memory, during its heyday, LVMH owned more than 60 top luxury brands. In addition to Dior, LV and Hermes, the ambitious LVMH once acquired shares of Gucci group, which Sofia recently favored.

In the original time and space, with the success of LVMH's luxury portfolio operation mode, many other companies began to follow suit, and finally formed a tripartite situation of LVMH, kering and Richemont.

Among them, Lifeng group is mainly engaged in jewelry and watch business, and Kaiyun group's mode is largely coincident with LVMH. Moreover, the pillar brand of Kaiyun group happens to be Gucci.

Judging from the information in the comprehensive memory, the Gucci brand of Kaiyun group will be worth at least 10 billion US dollars in many years.

Going back to the present, LVMH just completed its merger two years ago. The later leader of LVMH, Bernard Arnott, is still not in full control of the group's election. In the past two years, he has been continuously increasing his stake in LVMH, and at the same time, he has been boycotted by the senior management of LVMH. In the original time and space, Hermes and other brands merged by LVMH are still in the independent state.As for the subsequent tripartite confrontation with LVMH, Kaiyun group and Lifeng group have not yet been established.

It is obvious that by entering the market and winning Gucci, a luxury brand with perfect industrial chain, Simon has the foundation to build a company similar to LVMH.

LVMH was founded on the basis of Dior.

Next, if we can exaggerate according to the development model of LVMH in the original time and space, and rely on the resources of Hollywood, Simon has the hope to replace LVMH and build a top luxury group.
