Chapter 543: 545

This year's Oscar Afterparty has been redesigned.

Gucci party officially changed its name to melisandro party, even applied for a special trademark, and determined Vanity Fair magazine and igritte portal as the official media partners. At the same time, the location of the party was also changed to sunset tower bar with open interior space and spacious terrace on the top floor of Sunset Tower Hotel in West Hollywood.

In addition, party invitation letters are no longer as easy to obtain as before. Melisandro's team, which is specially responsible for the afterglow party, began to look for an invitation list one month in advance. The number of guests will be limited to about 200, far less than the size of thousands of audience at the Oscars ceremony.

It can be said that it is even more difficult to get an invitation to melisandro's after party than to attend the Oscars.

At nine o'clock in the evening, the Academy Awards ceremony at Dorothy Chandler theater in the center of the city officially ended, and stars and celebrities with melisandro party invitation letters rushed to West Hollywood. Those who didn't get the invitation didn't lack a place. There will be all kinds of parties in Los Angeles this evening, but it's hard for other parties to get much media attention from melisandro's party.

Irene Lauder left Dorothy Chandler theatre with the "Wonder Woman" crew and went straight to the melisandro party at the Sunset Tower Hotel.

Simon had arranged everything for her in advance, and she didn't feel out of place with Hollywood when she came to Los Angeles alone from New York. Even a top public relations manager who is said to be working for kenu Reeves, famik Jensen and Sandra Bullock discussed with her whether to arrange some media release.

Although she refused the other party's suggestion, she still had some good feelings for someone again.

When she came to the Sunset Tower Hotel, because she didn't want to appear in front of the media, she directly bypassed the reporter's photo area and entered the hotel building through other entrances.

The party was very considerate in details, and a temporary dressing room was specially prepared for the guests.

Formal dress is needed to attend the Oscars, but melisandro's party is very casual. There is no requirement for clothes, and it is definitely inconvenient for guests to walk around in long drag dress. Many stars rent their gowns, which cost tens of thousands and hundreds of thousands of dollars. If they get dirty and torn at a party, it's hard to avoid heartache.

Irene Lauder also prepared two sets of clothes. The dress for the party is a light blue knee length skirt. The style is avant-garde and business oriented. When choosing clothes, she thinks someone should like it.

After changing clothes and giving the original dress to the assistant who arranged it for him, Irene Lauder finally entered the party. The atmosphere here was very relaxed. Many familiar Hollywood stars gathered in groups to chat, and there were also many political and business celebrities she happened to know.

Looking around, while waiting for the magic woman actor, famik Jensen, who just had a good chat, to come up, a woman in a simple black dress with a wonderful figure came over and offered her hand: "Hello, Miss Lauder, I'm Sophia Fischer."

Irene Lauder just entered the family business after she graduated from university last year. However, on weekdays, she has heard her elders talk about a lot of information about the industry.

When I heard the woman's self introduction, I immediately thought of her identity.

Sophia Fischer, chairman and CEO of melisandro.

This is a very powerful woman. In just a few years, she has built melisandro into a comprehensive luxury group. What's more, the other side has a very obvious relationship with Simon westero.

"Hello, Ms. Feixi. Nice to meet you."

With that in mind, Irene Lauder shook Sophia's hand politely and looked at her subconsciously.

The first feeling is that the woman's skin is very good, slightly conservative round neck black dress, the skin exposed is smooth, delicate and white, it seems that there is no flaw.

Even people want to pinch.

Yeah.

I don't know if he pinched it.

Sophia allowed the girl to look at herself, glanced at her light blue dress and said with a smile, "is this the latest model Montana just released a while ago?"

Irene Lauder, surprised, nodded and said, "yes, Ms. faessy, do you know this dress?"

Sophia said: "it's a typical Montana design style. It's bold and avant-garde. It's a bit more intellectual on you. It fits you very well."

"Oh, thank you," said Irene Lauder, a little embarrassed. She wanted to compliment each other's clothes, but she didn't have Sophia's eyesight. After hesitation, she turned the topic to some guy: "Simon Will Mr. westlow be here tonight? "

Sophia grinned a little more and said, "of course, but it will be a while."

Just then, another seemingly careless female voice rang out: "Hi, Sophia."

They turned around together. Sophia opened her arms to the girl who came. "Good evening, Sandy. You are so beautiful tonight."It's Sandra Bullock.

"Thank you. You too."

"Oh, I'd like to introduce you. This is Miss Irene Lauder."

Sandra came forward again and gently hugged Irene Lauder. Subconsciously, she asked, "Estee Lauder?"

Irene Lauder nodded and said, "Estee Lauder is my grandmother."

"That's a legendary woman."

"Thank you. My grandmother saw your Lola Run. She loved it."

"Oh, ah, you mean..."

"Grandma is 85 years old, but she has been in good health."

"That's good."

After a brief chat, Sandra turned to Sophia and asked, "why didn't I see Simon?"

Sophia said with a smile, "he's the boss. Of course, he'll show up whenever he wants."

"It's getting harder and harder to see him now."

"You know how busy he is."

"Yes, I don't want to share some of the money I've been busy making."

"You can ask him for it."

"Forget it. If he throws me a billion, I don't know how to spend it."

"Ha ha, I can help you."

"You'd better help him with the flowers directly," sander said with a little ambiguous joke. Seeing a figure not far away, he said, "Keanu is here. I'll go and say hello. This guy hasn't seen you for a long time."

When Sandra left, Sophia looked at the entrance and said to Irene Lauder: "the crew of smell and know women is here. Let's get to know each other?"

Irene Lauder had not seen the figure of famik Jensen, so she nodded and said, "good."

As the big winner of this Oscar, the crew of "smell the fragrance and know the girl" just appeared, which caused a little commotion at the party.

Two women come forward together, just a few simple greetings, they have to exchange opportunities to others.

Just after leaving the "smell and know women" crew, several tall and beautiful girls came together. They were the five spokesmen of Weimi, Cindy Crawford, Yasmin Gary, Tara banks, Helena Christensen and Stephanie Seymour.

Irene Lauder listened to Sophia's warm greeting to the girls, and found that before she had a few words to talk, Stephanie Seymour asked when someone would show up.

Like, the third time?

In the subsequent greeting, it was hardly surprising that for the fourth time, the fifth time, the sixth time

Near ten o'clock, when someone finally showed up, Irene Lauder felt that it was better to stay away from him.

There are too many women who miss this bastard. She doesn't want to be one of his many lovers.

Even though he thinks so, when he praises her beautiful dress tonight, he can't help but feel a little happy. When he walks away with Sophia faessy, it's hard to avoid some taste.

After spending more than half an hour in the crowd, congratulating tonight's winners and greeting some important guests, Simon finally got free and went to the balcony outside the bar with Sophia.

They sat down on a sofa in the corner of the terrace, and Sophia finally asked with some banter, "how did you hook up with the little girl of the Lauder family?"

Simon said as if nothing had happened: "I just met him at the New York party the other day."

Sophia is just a little tease, no fierce pursuit of mind, and, what should be done has just been done. Seeing that so many beautiful girls are paying attention to Simon, the girl should also give up.

In some ways, Sophia and the female assistant are very similar.

As his lover, knowing that she has no chance to fight for anything doesn't mean that she will be happy to see other women around him.

So I talked about some business.

"Christie's is probably settled. 309 pence per share, or 562 million pounds, or 878 million dollars. If you have no problem, I will return to Europe tomorrow, and the news will be officially announced. "

Simon nodded. "I read your memo this morning."

Compared with Friday's closing price, 309 pence per share is equivalent to a 23% premium, which is just 30% higher than when the negotiations started in mid February.

In the course of more than one month's negotiation, the two sides saw each other for several times, and Christie's share price in London Stock Exchange also continued to fluctuate.

In early March, because Christie's side refused to make too many concessions, Sofia resolutely suspended the negotiation and gave up the acquisition. In the next two weeks, Christie's share price, which had been rising, began to fall.

Until last Friday, Christie's side took the initiative to contact, Sophia also gave a long drawn up plan, and said that this is the last offer of melisandro company.

If Christie's doesn't accept it, the deal ends completely.

Although some shareholders are not willing, but after the board of Directors voted, melisandro's acquisition plan was finally passed.Obviously, most shareholders also understand that even if Simon westrow is optimistic about Christie's, the auction house can't sell too much because of the limited size of the industry.

After continuing to talk about some details, Sophia asked, "and what's the matter with Joseph Lewis?"

Simon said: "you should have seen the other party's information. I'm very interested in the Tavistock group under the name of Joseph Lewis. There may be opportunities for cooperation in the future."

Joseph Lewis wants to establish a cooperative relationship with Simon. After investigating the details of each other, Simon also finds that Joseph Lewis may be a springboard for his investment in Latin America.

In the initial plan of this acquisition, melisandro only intends to use its own funds to obtain 51% of Christie's shares and realize absolute control. The remaining shares are jointly held by Apollo management company of cersei capital and some other capitals.

After Simon promised Joseph Lewis to take part in the New York party, Sofia had to change its financing strategy and give 20% of the shares to Joseph Lewis.

Moreover, an Italian investment fund controlled by the Agnelli family behind Fiat Group plans to acquire about 15% of the shares, and Italian media tycoon Berlusconi plans to acquire 10% of the investment shares. These are not only simple holdings, but also a symbol of a cooperation between the Westeros system and Italian local capital, which can not be pushed off, You can't push it off.

After urgent consultation with Joseph Lewis, melisandro's own share could only be reduced.

Fortunately, in order to establish a cooperative relationship with westero system, Joseph Lewis spared no effort and offered to permanently grant 20% of the voting rights to melisandro company. Unless he sold the shares in the future, Joseph Lewis would only hold the equity, but not the voting rights.

By calculation, although melisandro's shareholding in Christie's has been reduced to 31%, with Joseph Lewis's 20%, cersei capital's investment of $100 million and 11%, westrow's voting rights in Christie's will reach 62%.

31% of the shares, absolute control, this is Simon is very happy to see a state of investment.

Even if the capital accumulation of westero system is rapid, it will eventually have a certain limit. In fact, using other people's money to increase its own capital influence is one of Simon's important purposes in developing cersei capital.

For example, if cersei capital's black rock asset management company can reach the peak of controlling $6 trillion of global assets, it will be a huge capital that can subvert a country. Capital itself can't exert its influence. If we want to achieve this, we have to implement it by individuals. Cerxi capital controls the capital to buy the shares of a company. After reaching a certain proportion, westero system can send its own representatives to the board of directors of the company, thus forming its influence on a company.

The more powerful the enterprise giants are, the more they tend to be the public holding companies. In such companies, the board of directors is basically the actual controller.

If the westero system has its own seats on the boards of directors of giant enterprises such as general electric, Boeing, ExxonMobil, IBM, etc., to a certain extent, Simon will control the U.S. economy and expand outwards, as well as globally.

Most importantly, it doesn't take the westrow system itself to have so much money.
