Chapter 967: Hit someone in the face
the next day.
A spokesman for LVMH's public relations department took advantage of the opportunity of fashion week to formally respond.
Frankly speaking, Xiang Yang’s speech yesterday lacked logic and seemed very absurd.
Hermès shares are listed on the stock exchange.
Anyone can buy it.
Don't worry about compliance. At least LVMH Group's previous acquisitions were carried out through formal channels and commercial means.
As for not raising a flag after acquiring more than 5% of the stock, that is because the LVMH Group, which owns more than 70 brands and its branches require detailed statistics, has internal communication problems.
"Here, we once again make it clear that the LVMH Group has no plans to take over the Hermès Group. They still retain 73% of the company's shares."
After reading the speech, the spokesperson of LVMH's public relations department said seriously.
As soon as his remarks came out, the reporters below were ready to ask questions.
This year’s Autumn and Winter Fashion Week is really exciting.
Before the Hermès Film Investment Company had time to hold a celebration party after winning multiple Oscars, something happened to the Pirate Lord, which caused an uproar in Paris.
Now it's more interesting.
Hermès and LVMH suddenly started to quarrel again.
Before the first reporter started asking questions, many reporters present were already thinking about the next work arrangements.
Judging from the fact that the two groups are already at loggerheads, Hermès will surely fight back soon.
But isn’t this what the media likes to hear?
While Xiang Yang was attending a morning meeting at the Hermès headquarters, drinking coffee and still trying to keep himself up, Bea Shaffer, who was sitting behind him and was responsible for taking meeting minutes, had a dull "buzz" from his mobile phone in his clothes.
Little Bee was stunned.
She remembered that she had set her cell phone to silent before the meeting.
In doubt, I took out my phone and took a look.
Okay.
It came from the mobile phone Xiangyang threw to her before the meeting.
Just as she was about to stuff it back, she casually glanced at the screen and frowned.
A few seconds later, he leaned forward slightly and leaned behind Xiang Yang's head and whispered: "Boss, the response from LVMH Group has just been posted online. Do you want to read it?"
Xiang Yang, who was just drinking coffee and not listening to the content of the meeting, tilted his head.
LVMH Group responded so quickly?
This is really not the efficiency of the French at all.
Um.
Not polite.
Where is the person who spends the whole morning looking for things to do for others?
After complaining about LVMH in his heart, Xiangyang took the phone and didn't rush to unlock it.
The password cannot be easily known to Bea Shaffer.
He used his body to block Bea Shaffer's sight, and quietly entered Liu Qianqian's birthday on the screen before successfully unlocking it. Xiang Yang only glanced at it, and his lungs almost exploded with anger.
Not because of the shameless remarks of the LVMH spokesperson.
Talking about business.
If he were in charge of Hermès' acquisition of LVMH Group, he would first secretly buy a considerable number of shares before starting to flip the table.
What makes him angry is that it was INS who reported this latest news.
In addition to the general content of the speech, there are also 9 photos.
This is really fucking.
What do the highly paid technicians in Silicon Valley who Musk paid a lot of money to do, push this kind of garbage content to him? It's a waste of precious development funds.
Seeing Little John next to him who had stretched his head over for a long time, Xiangyang turned off the screen of his mobile phone angrily.
What to look at.
You don’t have a mobile phone yourself?
"." Little John blinked at Xiangyang, looking a little arrogant.
Unable to hold it back, he muttered to Xiangyang: "How dare you get angry at me."
"Haha."
Hearing this, Xiang Yang smiled disdainfully.
Liu Qianqian made him angry, and he also dared to lose his temper.
"Have a good meeting and whisper to each other." Xiang Yang, who was increasingly lazy to argue with his friends, said in a low voice, but it was full of warning.
However, it was noticed in the conference room that LVMH Group’s assistant was not the only one speaking.
Although Axel arranged for people to prepare a plan after yesterday's press conference, the formalistic meeting this morning was still affected.
Not long after, Xiang Yang and Little John walked out of the conference room together.
Before he could leave the Hermès office building, Axel's assistant caught up with him.
Not surprisingly, the two of them were called over for a small meeting.
"You call Macron first and tell him that I have something to discuss with Mr. Ao here." Xiangyang glanced at Bei Shaffer who was about to follow him.
"Okay, Boss." Bea Shaffer did not hesitate at all.
After saying that, he turned around and left.
"What benefits did you give her to make her obey you so much?" Little John was amazed when he saw a woman who was usually arrogant towards him, acting like a sheep in front of his friends.
"What is obedience? Where did you learn the word?"
Xiang Yang glanced sideways at Little John.
Little John smiled "Hey~".
This still needs an explanation.
But joking aside, as soon as the elevator arrived, Little John immediately put away his playful smile.
Axel actually called him over for a small meeting, so the next arrangement would involve the department he was in charge of. Could it be that he was asked to do something here after announcing the filming of "Les Misérables"?
Then you have to seize the opportunity and perform well.
Results
Arriving at Axel's office, Little John was left alone like an auditor.
After seeing Xiang Yang walk in, the expressionless Axel took a deep breath and said to Xiang Yang: "Xiang, according to your calculation, how confidential is this matter?"
"It's hard to tell."
Xiangyang shrugged.
Let’s talk about how fierce the LVMH Group and the Hermès Group are in the dispute over the acquisition.
Anyone who looks back at the entire process knows one thing. Arnault used all the connections around him to achieve his wishful thinking.
The traitor in the Hermès family played a role in this acquisition that is simply not worth mentioning.
Because even the people under Lao Sa who were responsible for intelligence assisted Arnault in investigating the assets and tax status of almost all important members of the Hermès family.
Therefore, after letting Macron get in touch with Lao Ao, and using the connections of Hermès Film Investment Company to fund the filming of a movie with the theme of satirizing Arnault, can this be kept secret? Who can guarantee it?
"But I believe in Macron's character, and I am more optimistic about Macron in the next election."
There is no guarantee that the whole thing will happen, but Xiang Yang believes that Macron will not reveal the matter easily. "That's it"
Axel frowned and thought for a moment.
Apparently, he hasn't made up his mind yet.
But Xiang Yang gave the proposal, and he briefly communicated with Pierre before the meeting this morning.
Just like Arnault’s original intention of using a lawsuit to prevent the Hermès Group from raising funds in the secondary market, everyone is talking about business. Can you disgust me, can’t I disgust you?
But it’s also important to distance yourself as much as possible.
After all, even beasts in clothing must be decent.
"What are you talking to Axel about?" On the side, Little John, who was kept in the dark, looked confused.
"We're talking about something big." Xiang Yang said pretending to be mysterious.
Sure enough, as soon as he finished speaking, Little John took the bait, "How can I be left out of such a big event? Tell me quickly."
"I'm going to ask Bona to fund a movie. The content is very simple. It tells the story of two LVMH employees who lost their jobs." Xiangyang, who was going to let Little John be the specific executor, quickly told what he had said to Axel yesterday. Talk about movie content.
He has already chosen the name.
Please...you...Collect_6Ⅰ9ⅠBookⅠ(Six\\\Nine\\\Book\\\!)
It's called "MerciPatron".
The translation into Chinese is called "Thank you, boss".
And this movie was not invented by Xiang Yang. He had no intention of writing a script.
After this film was released in 2016, it not only won the Best Documentary at the 42nd French César Film Awards, but also received a rating of 7.9 on Douban in China.
But Mr. Arnault, the president of LVMH Group, was very angry.
What’s even more interesting is that in order to prevent the filming and production of this film, LVMH Group spent up to 2 million euros to monitor the film’s promoters.
As a result, the film was released as scheduled and received rave reviews.
In the end, this incident was revealed, and LVMH was fined 10 million euros.
It can be described as embarrassing and losing money.
Of course, Xiangyang would not miss it if he could use such a rare 'masterpiece' to vent his bad anger.
Moreover, the ZZ benefits of this film are substantial.
The initiator of "Thank You, Boss" eventually became a member of Parliament with this movie selection.
Maybe Macron will look down on this identity, but the ZZ interests behind the film, Lao Ao, who specializes in opposing the rich, will definitely be jealous.
Maybe, he also wants to pocket it as capital to compete with Lao Sa.
If it goes so smoothly, then even Bona, the obvious substitute, can be saved.
"You are really good at playing." First, he looked at his friend in surprise. After being stunned for a moment, Little John suddenly said jealously: "You are so good at seeking benefits for Bona, but not for me."
That's right.
Just by listening to Xiang Yang's general plan, Little John knew what Xiang Yang was thinking about.
If such a movie is really shot, it will definitely set off a wave of enthusiasm in the fashion industry. As an investor in the film, Bona will naturally frequently appear in major newspapers and magazines in Europe and the United States.
That stock price is not.
"I'm good enough to you." Xiang Yang almost fainted and couldn't even speak.
Seeing that the two people were communicating almost equally, Axel asked: "Jean, what do you think."
"I think there is no better idea than this. If possible, we can let EMI and Gaumont be the distributors of this film and release it throughout Europe."
Little John rubbed his hands subconsciously.
To put it in his heart, I am the director of Hermès, and LVMH and I are irreconcilable!
"That won't work." Xiang Yang flatly expressed his opposition.
Bringing EMI and Gaumont in may seem like a good idea, but it's actually a bad move.
Even if the LVMH Group has no plans to establish a film investment company, you can't really think that it has nothing to do with movies, and you still have to be on guard.
This movie might as well be released on the Internet.
"Isn't it to outsiders that our Hermès is involved?" Little John was stunned.
"I've thought about this a long time ago."
Xiang Yang said, raising the corners of his mouth.
The contract signed by Hermès Film Investment when it jointly acquired Stations A and B with Enlight Pictures and Bona Pictures involved the exclusive online broadcast of the two Chinese film and television companies' investment in film and other related industries in the next five years.
Applying this agreement, Bona Pictures' investment in filming "Thank You Boss" should be exclusively broadcast by Bilibili.
"Xiang, it seems that you are very optimistic about the development of this website." Just after listening to Xiang Yang's simple description, Axel outlined in his mind the possible benefits that Bona Pictures and Bilibili would get during the entire implementation process.
As a senior executive of Hermès, it is impossible for him to ignore Bona's performance on Nasdaq some time ago.
Just two series of documentaries have increased the value of the company's stock several times. So what kind of value will this film that can spark heated debates in the fashion industry create?
What surprised him even more was.
Compared with the layout Xiangyang made in advance, money is really a trivial matter.
If the Chinese film and television company is given enough benefits, it will definitely cooperate with Hermès's actions without any coercion.
Slap Arnault directly on the face instead of having to quarrel in the air to relieve his anger?
"So we must speed up the global promotion of this website this year to realize its true value." Xiang Yang said.
In the entire plan, the only thing missing now is the popularity of Station B.
Domestically, it is still well-known with a series of operations, but at this level of global perspective, international expansion is simple, but technological innovation and user accumulation are inseparable from time and funds.
And don’t forget that in this competitive field, Station B also has a significant competitor, Netflix.
In terms of content alone, compared with Netflix, which began to increase its efforts in original and self-produced series in 2009, "House of Cards", which plays a decisive role in Bilibili's internationalization strategy, has yet to be launched.
As for Youtube
Sorry, this guy is harder to shake.
"I will fly to the United States as soon as possible to negotiate with Director Fincher and the others." Seeing that the finger was pointed at him, Little John moved the corners of his mouth in a sly voice.
Co-author, I called him here to find something for him to do
Damn capitalists!
It hasn’t been 48 hours since I returned to Paris!
"You really need to speed up." Xiang Yang nodded slightly. He liked seeing his friend's rebellious yet extremely obedient expression.
Seeing Axel nodding in agreement, Little John sighed helplessly, "Then I'll book a flight right now."
"Don't be too anxious. You can use this precious time to finalize it with Bona before setting off." Xiang Yang seemed to be keeping his friend, but in fact he was whipping him.
"I"
Little John felt that he should go back to China and ask Uncle Xiang whether this guy was his biological son.
The word "exploitation" is vividly displayed in friends.
no!
If you want me to work, you must first give me a budget.
It’s impossible for Boehner to pay for the filming cost of this movie.
"It's probably only a few million." Xiang Yang glanced at Axel. As they looked at each other, Axel smiled knowingly and said:
"He is only worth this price."
I finished changing it. I accidentally touched the bed yesterday and fell asleep directly
