Chapter 1023 Boiling a Frog in Warm Water
Hearing that Bernard Arnott came here in person, Leonard Lauder inexplicably thought of a name, "summation", except for this word, he couldn't think of what Arnott was here for. !
"The luxury industry and the fashion industry are going to really change!"
Leonard Lauder said to William Lauder that it is predictable that once the LVMH Group reaches an agreement with RICK, the pattern of the global luxury goods industry will be completely changed, and no company can escape.
At this time, Leonard Lauder couldn't help but feel a little lucky. If it wasn't for today's merger agreement with RICK, Estee Lauder's life would not be easy in the future!
RICK and LVMH Group are old enemies. When RICK became famous, he stepped on the shoulders of LVMH Group to acquire Gucci, which completely made RICK Group famous in the luxury goods industry.
But the two sides have been fighting openly and secretly for so long, but this is the first time Song Yang and Bernard Arnott have met. Usually, one of them is in France all the year round, and the other is in America. It is estimated that Song Yang and Arnott did not expect that the scene where the two met for the first time would be here.
Eric was entertaining the guests at the banquet. Bernard Arnott came here only to see Song Yang. When he came to the study of the North Shore Manor, only Song Yang and Bernard Arnott They looked at each other.
There was no tense scene, and there was no confrontation between sparks hitting the earth. Both Song Yang and Arnott were very calm. After shaking hands, Song Yang asked Arnott to sit down.
Arnott in front of him, as reported by the media, is not tall, but well-dressed, with a pair of eagle eyes that are impressive. Song Yang has also seen the same eyes on Martin Solo, the president of WPP Group. One exception is all ruthless people, ruthless to others, and even more ruthless to yourself!
It took a while for Bernard Arnott to look away from Song Yang. The media had already reported Song Yang's appearance badly. Even the French media had reported how many times he was a Hollywood-level face.
Those with good looks are not as expensive as Song Yang, and those who can compete with Song Yang are Buffett, Bill Gates, the head of the Wal-Mart family and a bunch of bad old men. There is no way to compare their looks, which makes Song Yang Yang has always been ranked among the world's number one diamond kings and old five.
Bernard Arnott has always regarded himself very highly. He led the Arnott family to complete the transformation and built a construction company into the world's top luxury giant. At 40, he is worth $20 billion , rushed to the top of the richest man in France, and made every luxury brand his trophies.
But facing Song Yang in front of him, Arnott also sighed a little bit. He is unwilling to admit that people are more angry than others, but sometimes there is really no comparison between people. When he was 36 years old, he became Arnott. The head of the family began to make a desperate purchase of the LVMH Group, and then spent 14 years creating the current LVMH Group.
But Song Yang made his debut much earlier than Arnott, and his debut was the pinnacle. In these years, even in the media reports, Song Yang was one of the top ten richest people in the world when his life was the most "bad". , has aspired to be the richest man in the world.
What makes Arnott even more distressed is that the LVMH Group is all he and the Arnott family, and for Song Yang, RICK is just one of the many industries he "conveniently" invested in. Without the RICK Group, Song Yang can only It can be said that he has lost his skin, not to mention his muscles and bones, but for Arnott, without the LVMH group, he has nothing...
The unequal cost made the LVMH group doomed to be at a disadvantage in this war, but Arnott had to put all his eggs in one basket, and ended up in a quagmire.
Song Yang poured a glass of wine produced by Seagram Wine Industry, and pushed it in front of Arnott, "Mr. Arnott, you can try the wine under RICK!"
After catching the drink, Arnott took a deep look at Song Yang. He felt that Song Yang seemed to be implying something. How did the Seagram Wine Industry come from? It was the wool that was picked up by the Bronfman family.
At the beginning, Edgar Bronfman Jr. wanted to play the trick of Li Daitao, turning ICQ into the Bronfman family's industry, but he couldn't steal the chicken. ICQ was not in his hands, and the Bronfman family managed to save it. Universal Pictures, Universal Music, Seagram Liquor, etc., have all been wiped out. Old Bronfman’s family fortune, which he had managed to save for decades, was lost. A property of tens of billions has become a property of billions!
The fate of the Bronfman family will be the tomorrow of the Arnott family? !
After taking a sip of the drink, Bernard Arnott put the glass aside. Although he came here today with the intention of signing an alliance under the city, Arnott didn't want to bow down to the point of bragging about some drinks for RICK.
"Song, too many unpleasant things have happened between LVMH Group and RICK. Whether these things are right or wrong, they should..."
Before Arnott could finish speaking, Song Yang interrupted, "President Arnott, what happened to the LVMH Group has nothing to do with RICK. Instead, it was the LVMH Group's malicious price hike, which made RICK Group pay a huge amount of money for the acquisition of Estee Lauder." cost!"
Listening to the rebuttal, the veins on Bernard Arnault's forehead were exposed. He co-authored the LVMH Group to compensate RICK, right? The 100 million dollar knife is gone. Who can Arnott pay for this account? !
Besides, RICK has nothing to do with ICNC TV station. Arnott was a little annoyed and laughed. The two sides really have nothing to do with each other in a physical sense. One is for luxury goods and the other is a media TV station. There can be a ghost relationship, but the two are Isn't it the same big benefactor?
Knowing that he was talking nonsense with his eyes open, Arnott couldn't spray it back. The situation is stronger than others. He can certainly spray it back today and vent his anger, but then, Song Yang can drag it on and consume the LVMH group all the time. , Arnott energy go down? !
“No matter who was right and who was wrong at the beginning, LVMH Group and RICK have paid a sufficient price. Now it’s time to end all this. If we continue to fight, it will only make Kering, Richemont, Hermes, and Chanel cheaper!”
After finishing speaking, Arnott stared at Song Yang and said something that shocked Song Yang, "LVMH Group is willing to join the Global Luxury Association and support RICK in establishing the Global Association for the Protection of Rare Animals!"
Song Yang looked at Arnott from top to bottom. He could lead the LVMH Group to where it is today. Arnott is indeed able to endure what ordinary people cannot bear and do things that ordinary people cannot do. Originally, Song Yang wanted to force LVMH Group to join The Global Luxury Association, but unexpectedly, was brought up by Bernard Arnott on his own initiative.
Seeing Bernard Arnott's initiative, Song Yang didn't want to make any more detours. Since he wanted to cut leeks, he didn't want to hide it.
Shaking his head, with Bernard Arnault's puzzled expression, Song Yang said, "Global Luxury Association, of course LVMH Group is welcome to join, any luxury and fashion company has joined the Global Luxury Association rights, but the problem between LVMH Group and RICK should be resolved!
The acquisition of Gucci before, and the acquisition of Estee Lauder now, all because of LVMH Group, RICK paid a huge price, LVMH Group should make compensation! "
Song Yang looked at Bernard Arnott, but saw that the other party didn't get angry, but his expression became very calm.
"What does RICK want?" At this moment, Bernard Arnott calmed down, knowing that if he lost his position at this time, he would really lose everything.
Looking at Arnott, Song Yang smiled and said, "President Arnott, RICK just took back some of the due compensation "littlely". RICK asked LVMH Group to transfer...
Givenchy, Guerlain, Lowe, Berluti, KENZO, Céline and other brands, and requested that the Global Rare Animal Protection Association become a shareholder of the LVMH Group, join the LVMH Board of Directors, and supervise the use of rare animal leather by the LVMH Group! "
Song Yang originally wanted to cut off Dior from the LVMH Group, but he felt that it would be difficult. LV and Dior are the two lifeblood of the LVMH Group. It is probably not possible to let Bernard Arnault go. Song Yang Yang retreated to the next best thing, and started to ask for prices. He didn't expect to get so many brands from the LVMH Group at one time, but it was not a good idea to pay back the money after asking for prices.
If you want to open a door, it may not be approved, but if you smash the roof directly, then the other party will probably agree to open the door. Boil the frog in warm water, cut the leek bit by bit, and when the leek reacts, only a root.
