The Era of Emerald

() "This is incredible. Adidas is on sale. For other sports brands, this is definitely the best opportunity to expand themselves! What are Umbro, Puma, and Nike thinking?" After learning about other sports brands Zhuang Mingge was relieved a little after his sports brand was not interested in participating. He was not worried about consortiums operating in other industries competing with him. It is a very risky thing to enter this circle rashly. After all, not everyone is Hammer (Armand Hammer, a business genius, has outstanding achievements in pharmaceutical, brewing, cattle raising, petroleum and other industries), Zhuang Mingge There is only one such traverser in this world...

"Hehe, don't make such a fuss. This is Europe, the headquarters of Adidas, and it has nothing to do with Nike. A Reebok in the North American market is enough for it to have a headache now; as for companies such as Umbro and Puma, a European company with huge profits The market made their vision narrow, and they could not understand the latest and fastest development and changes of the sports brand center in the US market. Perhaps they also felt that the asking price of Lyon Credit Bank was too high, and perhaps they simply did not have the ability and confidence to take over Adidas What about this big stall!"

Listening to the situation about Adidas from Groz Jr., Zhuang Mingge felt that her analysis was reasonable, and it also made him, an outsider, feel like he was clearing the fog.

However, Zhuang Mingge also felt that Groz Jr. was too excited about the acquisition of Adidas, and he did not worry about how to manage Adidas in the future.

Umbro and Puma are not confident to take over a company as big as Adidas. How can the two of us, who started our business by gambling, manage well?Zhuang Mingge was very worried about this.

"Ahem... Let me say Rebecca, this usury bank Credit Lyonnais is asking for [-] million US dollars! I don't think we have the financial resources to take these shares from the French now." Zhuang Minge thought about it, and still proposed objection.

"Hmph~ I knew it~" Young Groz folded his hands on his chest, and said proudly, "I have my own tricks, Antonio, you will know when you follow me to France~"

"Okay, I'll just go with you." Zhuang Mingge also wanted to see how this little princess used the "empty glove white wolf" method to take away 70% of Adidas shares from Lyon Credit Bank.

And it's August now, maybe it would be a good choice to take Karin to France for a short trip.

"Let me tell you in advance that Sister Karin will not go to France with you this time." Just as Zhuang Mingge was dreaming, a joking voice from Little Groz came to his ears, "I made an agreement with her just now. , this time it’s just you and me going to France for a trip~”

It turns out that you guys were discussing this in the living room at the beginning!

……

"Rebecca, why did you bring me to Marseilles when you said you were going to negotiate with the Lyon Credit Bank." After getting off the plane, Zhuang Mingge asked with a puzzled expression.

"Hehe, you'll know later."

The person to meet was the head of Credit Lyonnais, but Groz Jr. brought Zhuang Mingge to Marseille, a seaport city in the south of France.

Even if there is no direct flight between Florence and Lyon, Zhuang Mingge doesn't think that the Groz family's private jet will stop in Marseille for some boring reason. This means that before negotiating with the Lyon Credit Bank , Groz Jr. has to deal with some related matters in Marseille first.

"I said, we live here in Marseille today?" Seeing that the direction of the commercial vehicle was not Lyon, which is located in the north of Marseille, but towards the south of Marseille, Zhuang Mingge thought that the destination of their trip was A hotel in the southern outskirts of Marseille.

"You'll know after talking about it for a while, just look at the scenery on the side of the road now." As if he knew that Zhuang Mingge would ask this question for a long time, the little Groz shrugged tacitly, and from the In his satchel, he took out a magazine:

"Moreover, it's not just today. I think we'll both be staying in Marseille in the next few days. By the way, you should know the old man on the back cover of the magazine. I heard that he used to be involved in football. It's because of this guy. So we can't go anywhere in France this time, we can only stay here in Marseille!"

As he said that, little Groz waved her little fist in a serious manner, expressing his dislike for this back cover character in different ways. Zhuang Mingge was also stunned by her cute movements for a moment, enough It took half a minute to react, and he quickly turned his gaze to the magazine in his hand.

Zhuang Mingge looked at the magazine in his hand, the old man on the back cover?Uh, isn't this the French movie star Jean Reno!There is nothing to recognize!

Wait, it seems that I have misjudged this time. Except for the appearance of this old man who is somewhat similar to the international movie star Uncle Renault, he is completely different in other places!Was what I saw just now an illusion?

He used to play football and lived in Marseille... Could it be him?

Seeing Zhuang Mingge's eyes cast towards him, little Groz obviously expected Zhuang Mingge's thoughts, and said: "It seems that you have already guessed it, that's right, what we are going to meet now is the former Marseille club owner Ta Oh, Mr. Pi."

Sure enough it was him!

As I said before, the Marseille match-fixing case only involved the club's general manager Bain at first, but as the case progressed, the French police sensed that there was someone behind Bain, and finally dug out the tower from Bain's mouth. The name of the skin.

It was also in May of this year that the match-fixing case in Marseille finally made its final verdict. Tapie was accused of being the mastermind of the case and was sentenced by the court to one year in prison and not to get any football field within one year after he was released from prison. Watch the game.

Now Tapie can be said to be in extreme despair. He used to be the owner of the Marseille team and the minister of the French city department because of this match-fixing case. At the same time, after the incident broke out, he was besieged on all sides, broke his fortune, and his private yacht was auctioned. All family property was confiscated, and he was still in debt of more than 1 million U.S. dollars.

Although Tapie, who is currently on bail, still lives in a nice manor, in fact 80% of his current income is deducted from his payroll and directly taken away by creditors.

What's the point of Rebecca coming to Tappy?Could it be that Tapie, the former major shareholder of Adidas, can help intercede and sell Adidas shares to them cheaply?Before arriving at Tapi's residence, Zhuang Mingge thought suspiciously.
