Consumer God

Chapter 376 Kill the chicken to warn the monkey

The contact with the LVMH Group was easier than Han Lie expected, and it went so smoothly that it was unexpected.

When Han Lie mentioned this matter to Pan Ge, her eyes widened on the spot.

"Want to get in touch with LVMH? Is it okay to find their Huaxia District President? If yes, I will take you directly to the door..."

Han Lie couldn't believe it: "What do you mean by coming directly to the door?"

Pan Ge explained in detail: "Wu Yue, President of LVMH Greater China, is my uncle's elementary school and junior high school classmate, and he is also very close to my mother.

My grandfather's house is in Zhang Yuan, you know the Shikumen buildings, right?My mother grew up in the alleys of the magic city, and so did Uncle Wu.

Didn't you find that there are a lot of LV, Givenchy, Dior, and Bulgari at home?
Uncle Wu returned to China in [-] to be the president of LVMH Greater China. Since then, our family has started to prefer LVMH when buying things. The fashion watches my mother gave you are actually gifts from Uncle Wu.

When I go to their house, it's like going back to my own house. I'll take you to check the door today. If you need anything, just tell him..."

Brother lie felt dizzy.

The person I need to find a way to get in touch with is just an ordinary parent-generation friend with you?

I know what it means to be a real wealthy daughter...

Brother Lie's plan to pretend to be coercive directly died, and was honestly taken by Miss Pan to Plaza [-], the headquarters office of the LVMH Group in China.

Mr. Wu was extremely generous and chatted with Han Lie for an entire hour.

Jie is a hidden rich man, not just a mere part-time president, but also has extremely high authority.

Mr. Wu holds 70% of the decision-making power for the domestic production and operation of all brands under the LVMH Group, and the remaining 30% belongs to the LVMH headquarters.

He has been the president of the Greater China region for more than 20 years. It is conceivable how close his relationship with the Arnott family is.

In terms of ability, Mr. Wu is also beyond reproach.

Han Lie had a pleasant chat with Mr. Wu—among the top smart people, whether or not they hit it off depends only on their will.

"Xiao Han, give me the wine list. I'll ask the secretary to find MHD Huaxia in person. I'm not sure what kind of wine I can buy now. Let's wait and see how they respond..."

This sentence was uttered in the opening 10 minutes or so.

Ten minutes before leaving, the secretary came back with various detailed information.

"That's pretty much all you can get from their channels."

With a gentle smile, Wu Yue handed the A4 paper to Han Lie.

"It's a little less. They don't do much red wine, but it's not a big problem. I'll help you contact the owner of the manor in France later. When you have time, take your daughter to a Bordeaux winery to pick it yourself..."

Brother Lie, who was ambitious and wanted to pretend, was pretended by Old Wu.

The document he handed over basically included all the top vodka, whiskey, ice wine and more than half of the high-end champagne in the industry.

Macallan, Genting, Ingold, Hennessy, Moet, Dom Perignon...

Han Lie hadn't heard of all of them, but he could know the level of the brand just by looking at the price range marked on the collection of wines under each name.

And it's not over yet.

Mr. Wu said again: "Xiao Han, I will introduce the domestic directors of Christie's and Sotheby's to you. They organize famous wine auctions all the year round. You can go and have a look when you have time. You can buy many rare top wines. Limited edition."

What else can Han Lie say?
"Thank you very much, you are very thoughtful."

"It should." Mr. Wu became more gentle, "I have time to come to the house with my daughter... By the way, the engagement gifts for the two of you are already being customized, and it should be in time for the engagement banquet."

Pan Ge replied softly: "Thank you, Uncle Wu, then I will start looking forward to it!"

No rejection at all, this is really close...

After going out, Han Lie was still wondering: "How come Pan Zi never mentioned such a close friendship?"

Pan Ge covered her mouth and smiled coquettishly: "How can Uncle Wu be as free as Uncle Dou and the others? He doesn't necessarily have two days off throughout the year. He has a good relationship, but he seldom plays with my dad... Otherwise you Why do you think they are so relieved to let us buy wine by ourselves?"

Han Lie suddenly realized.

Good guy, Pan Zi and Annie have already known their feelings, and know that we can't suffer big losses on high-end wine...

Han Lie really saw the background of a wealthy family, but he didn't feel inferior, let alone discouraged.

Friendship may only be managed slowly, but mutual help based on interests only needs to be able to make money steadily.

In this respect, who am I afraid of?

Slow down and work hard!
After finishing the small matter of buying wine, Han Lie immediately went to another big matter.

On Friday night, President Jin was the host, and he sat at a table with Chen Gong, the first brother of CITIC Securities, to drink.

"Xiao Han, I'm sorry, the appointment is on Wednesday, but I really can't spare time here... Are you in a hurry?"

Lao Jin's face was full of apology, and his attitude was very equal.

Han Lie intentionally lowered his posture, and hastily waved his hands: "How can I? Look at what you said, my side is a small matter, of course I have to take care of your big ones..."

Lao Jin tugged at the corners of his mouth noncommittally, and introduced to both parties: "Xiao Han, this is Chen Gong, my junior. Chen Gong, this is Mr. Han that you miss so much, Mr. Han, who is about to take pictures of us all on the beach." Afraid of future generations..."

Chen Gong looks in his early 40s, wears gold-rimmed glasses, and still wears a suit after get off work. The difference from ordinary financial white-collar workers is that he does not wear a tie.

When the two shook hands, they both laughed before saying anything.

——Mr. Chen may be used to greeting people with a smiling face. Han Lie doesn't care so much, if you laugh, I will laugh.

The upper row of 6 teeth is exposed, which is very friendly.

"Mr. Han, I have admired your name for a long time!"

"Mr. Chen, thanks for taking care of me!"

"Where is it? You are the ones who take care of our business. I am a server. I should have asked Mr. Han to come out and sit down. Otherwise, how could there be such misunderstandings?"

"Oh, I'm a late student, don't dare! If Uncle Jin didn't take pity on me, I wouldn't even find a chance to visit Mr. Chen, so please stop praising me!"

"Hahaha, you are a rising supernova in the financial world of Shanghai, and I can't even invite a distinguished guest..."

"Just kidding, what kind of VIP am I, next time you speak directly, I'll be there on call!"

After two rounds of shallow confrontation, Jin Xing interrupted at the right time: "It's alright, alright, we're all from my family, let's sit down and chat!"

Han Lie let go of the opponent's hand, and cursed inwardly: "Old fox!"
Chen Gong smiled and nodded, feeling a little numb: It's not easy...Little fox!

Once seated, start chatting.

The three financial people, of course, are talking about the economy and the market.

Although Han Lie is not as high as the two of them, but with the knowledge of future generations and level 5 knowledge to support him, he can keep up with everything, and the overall chat is very congenial.

During this period, it is natural to test each other and observe each other.

It was obvious that Chen Gong was not willing to let go easily, and surrendered to Han Lie.

Therefore, when Jinxing chatted about the difficult life of the current bank, Han Lie lightly said: "The cooperation between banks and trustees is getting stricter and stricter. I feel that it will be completely stopped sooner or later, and the cooperation between banks and securities has natural restrictions. In the short term It’s not easy, and it’s only going to be more troublesome in the long run.”

In a word, the two old foxes were completely dead.

The general trend is indeed like this. There are many people who can see it, but not many people are willing to believe it—in other words, they are all holding their final illusions while watching.

As for Han Lie standing outside the circle, he can naturally "speak up for justice".

Or write "gloating".

However, the two of them were still in the same place, and they couldn't find an excuse to comfort themselves.

So Chen Gong asked back with a smile that was not a smile: "President Han, is there any solution? Toast you a glass of wine, I would like to hear more about it!"

"Simple!"

Han Lie grinned and raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Do a good job of self-employment and make up for the profit gap?!"

Depend on!
How wicked is this kid? !

The self-operated department of CITIC Securities has done very poorly over the years, which is extremely inconsistent with their market position, and they have been cheated a lot.

And the Modu branch is even worse than the Shenzhen branch, and it's not enough to be ashamed.

Han Lie is purely which pot is not opened and which pot is lifted, and his mouth is slapped on the face.

However, Chen Gong was still powerless to refute—Han Lie's deal was done well enough that he was qualified to be mad in this respect.

Dissatisfied?

If you don't agree, you can educate him with the facts!

Chen Gong couldn't get it out, so he had to shut up resentfully.

Lao Jin had to smooth things over again: "It is indeed a solution that can solve the problem from the root, but the requirements are too high...Xiao Han, you can't use your own standards to demand other managers. Genius is not Chinese cabbage. That much? Right!"

Han Lie had finally found a chance, so he said leisurely, "If I can't do it myself, then I'll keep up with the better ones..."

Good guy!
All of a sudden, Chen Gong was humiliated, and he was so angry that he gritted his teeth.

But now that the conversation has come to this point, it is inconvenient for him to pretend to be stupid again, so he can only pinch his nose and half admit it.

"As for the matter of keeping warehouses, it not only has moral hazards, but also legal risks. Normal people would not do it. It's just that some people have low professional ethics, lust for profit, and take chances. When it comes to things...I am personally very disgusted, and my attitude has always been to find out and deal with it together, and I will never tolerate it."

Han Lie raised his head and asked casually: "Oh? It seems that I have to pay attention to the resignation information of your company's senior management?"

"Cough, cough!"

Chen Gong was almost choked and coughed non-stop.

"It won't be so fast... This kind of thing needs solid evidence. Before that, the company can only marginalize the suspect and withdraw the authority. It is impossible to directly expel the person."

In fact, Han Lie can understand, really, big companies do have their processes and rules.

But he was not relaxed at all in his attitude.

"President Chen's words are reasonable...then why don't you just give me a name and I'll solve it myself?"

You're welcome.

However, Chen Gong has nothing to do - when the strengths of the two sides are very different, right or wrong is bullshit; when the strengths of the two sides are basically equal, the key is whether to take advantage or not.

The size of CITIC Securities is of course much larger than Zhongmei Private Equity, but Chen Gong's personal strength is not slightly stronger than Han Lie.

Therefore, when Han Lie took advantage of it, no matter how rude he was, he could only bear it.

At the critical moment, Jin Xing came out to smooth things over again.

"Xiao Han, tell me, how do you plan to 'solve it yourself'?"

"Report the crime..." Han Lie said slowly, "Of course it won't happen."

After stretching Chen Gong a bit, he made clear gestures with his attitude and muscles, and then he changed his mouth to talk about his real plan.

"I can roughly guess who it is. If it's really him, then I really have a way to solve it privately without affecting Mr. Chen."

After saying that, he turned his head to look at Chen Gong, his eyes suddenly became extremely sharp: "Mr. Chen, I would like to invite you to watch a play. I wonder if you can trust me?"

In fact, Chen Gong just couldn't hold back his face, it wasn't that he really had any collusion with that person.

As the first person in charge of the Modu branch, a considerable part of the problems of his subordinates will hit him, and sometimes he has to protect him.

Facing a newcomer like Han Lie, if he doesn't put on airs, once word spreads, it will seriously affect the authority.

In fact, it is easy to understand——Chen Gong’s energy all comes from his position, not from his wealth and status, so he must do his best to protect the company’s reputation, so as to state his legitimacy and necessity as the general manager.

If it is a big boss like Pan Shengwu, if his subordinates are unclean and cause trouble, they will be fired casually, will there be any fart influence?

Chen Gong can't.

Confronting Han Lie, he doesn't look very smart, but his future is in the hands of the head office, and Han Lie can't influence it at all without tearing his face. Instead, taking the initiative to use a knife internally will hurt the reputation , Normal people know how to choose.

So, in fact, his toughness was deliberately "performed" for Han Lie to see.

Meaning I'm hard...

Don't come here, I'm not afraid of you!

Cough cough, just understand the meaning, the essence is the same.

Now, Han Lie took the initiative to promise not to make a big deal, Chen Gong has a way out, so naturally there is no need to insist on it.

"I also had a time when I was young and vigorous... Okay, let's wait and see!"

After reluctance to talk to each other, Chen Gong calmly uttered a name.

"I don't have any direct evidence, but I'm [-]% sure. Recently, he has logged into the Hang Seng system very frequently..."

Sure enough, it was him!

Gao Fengbo, the deputy general manager in charge of marketing, is very familiar with the old public and private equity funds in Shanghai. He once gave Han Lie an Audemars Piguet Royal Oak.

Jin Xing briefly recalled it, and was greatly puzzled.

"I met him when you gave the lecture, and he seems to have a very good relationship with you. He led your private equity and ABS projects to settle in CITIC. Logically speaking, it shouldn't be..."

Who knows?

Han Lie didn't want to delve into the reason.

Perhaps it was because the ABS project did not allow him to make money, but instead set up a watch;

Or maybe something did not take good care of his emotions and offended others;
Or maybe it's just a pure desire for profit, just don't want to go the right way and hand over the money to Han Lie to operate, and want to earn the last copper coin from the warehouse...

The reason really doesn't matter.

The important thing is that Han Lie has caught the target and obtained Chen Gong's neutral attitude.

Next, it was nothing more than digging one more hole and burying one more person.

He wasn't even worthy to be Han Lie's opponent, just an air-dried chicken hanging on a rope to scare monkeys.

Han Lie even felt that this was just the right time.

Port stocks are so heavy, how much money would I lose without your help?

After earning enough, they will be stewed away... Hehe, it's a win-win situation again!
