How Did I Become a God

Vol 2 Chapter 732: Sincerity

(Corrigendum: The "French integrated media group" mentioned above is wrong, it should be Lagardèresca)

After Jing Gao finished the call, it was past three in the morning, and he took a nap in his clothes in the study on the second floor. At about six in the morning, he welcomed two unexpected and unreasonable guests: Arthur. -Lagardère, and Bernard Arnault's confidant and spokesperson Andre Griffin.

With bloodshot eyes in Dong Youwei's eyes, he led the two to see Jing Gao who had finished washing in the first-floor meeting room.

The furnishings in the living room are elegant and the layout is simple. Jing Gao sat on the single-back sofa and did not get up, with a cup of warm tea in hand.

Jing Shufeng, the clerk who continues to act as an interpreter, sits behind him.

Andre Griffin is a German, short and chubby, with a square face. He bowed to Jing Gao and said: "Dear Mr. Jing, I am very sorry, Mr. Arnault cannot come due to physical reasons. I will be his The plenipotentiary came and made a request to you, hoping to get your understanding."

Arthur Lagardère had to sigh in his heart that the professional manager just fights, he can't speak with this low attitude, so he can only bow to Jing Gao. It's like the subjects are seeing their king!

Jing Gao nodded and gestured to the two of them to sit down and talk.

Andre Griffin did not sit down, but stood and talked to Jing Gao, respectfully saying: "Mr. Jing, the assassination you encountered tonight was caused by the Minister of Land Integration and Local Liaison Affairs, Louis- Froude initiated it. His attitude has always been tough. Mr. Arnault has always been a moderate."

Jing Gao smiled, and said nothing.

Who are you coaxing? Bernard Arnault is known as the "wolf in cashmere". Only the wrong name, no interlaced nicknames. It shows its style of acting.

Andre Griffin observed his words and said sincerely: "Mr. Well, in order to show sincerity, Mr. Arnault and the Lagardère consortium are willing to solve Louis Froude for you.

Of course, this requires some cooperation from you: ask your country’s embassy to investigate your assassination, and continue to put pressure on the French cabinet and the police. At the same time, we are willing to make compensation. "

Jing Gao groaned slightly.

To be honest, even if it is found out that Louis Froude had shot him and sent someone to kill him, in the short term, he would not be able to take action against a member of the French cabinet. It can only wait a few years for Louis Froude to lose power and fade out of public attention before sending someone to kill him.

A car accident or a medical accident, or an accident is enough to cover up all traces.

Since the two consortiums of Arnault and Lagardère are willing to do their jobs, quickly resolve Louis Froude, and let him out of a sigh. This is an unexpected gain.

Jing Gao nodded, be regarded as a recognition of the "sincerity" of Bernard Arnault and the Lagardère consortium.

Andre Griffin immediately breathed a sigh of relief, and continued: "Mr. Arnault is willing to sell you 70% of the luxury brand Bulgari for 5 billion euros. In order to let the Zhaoshi Group make up for the shortcomings in the high-end watch field. plate.

According to the financial data for May this year, Bulgari had a total sales of 2 billion euros in watches, jewellery, perfumes, skin care products, hotels and other businesses last year. The accounting firm's valuation of Bulgari is 7.5 billion euros.

However, Mr. Arnault hopes to reach a gentleman's agreement with you. When you want to sell the shares of Bulgari, the lvmh group has the right of first refusal. "

Arthur Lagardall also stood in negotiations, and then said: "Mr. Well, Lagardère is willing to pay a 30% premium to take over the 10% of Lagardèresca's shares in your hand.

We are also willing to spin off several non-core magazines and publishers under our banner and sell them to you to help you get tickets to the French public opinion field.

I want to make it clear that French paper media has certain limitations. Because there are fewer and fewer young people reading newspapers. But the publishing house still has a huge influence.

However, Mr. Jing, you have no ties in French politics and it is difficult to play the role of a publishing house. But you can use this to transform towards the Internet. We are willing to help. "

Idaka is certainly interested in entering the French media industry. The French media has become one of the "separation of powers." But the risks are high. As long as certain departments in France check on the grounds of **** security, his investment will be in vain.

As for the transformation to the Internet, don't think about being a social media or news client. These are the sites of software such as Google, Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram.

However, as a sacred man, are you still afraid of investing in water? What he wants is a channel through which capital can blend power.

This is a "conspiracy", it is not that he looks down on Arthur Lagardère, this is not a suggestion that this person can make.

First, the Lagardère consortium repurchases his shares, even if they repurchase at a premium of 30%, resulting in a large amount of debt. But in the same way, its shareholding in the French integrated media group will rise to about 20%, and its control will be even stronger.

Second, to induce him to invest in the media industry, which may cause him huge losses in the future.

This shows that Bernard Arnault still has some thoughts about him. It's just that under the current situation, I have to bow my head.

Jing Gao wanted to understand, and said: "Arthur Lagardère, I want French publishing houses and magazines to be of little use, just an identity authentication. The transformation to the Internet is just to be a content provider company, not much. Is Gadell’s sincerity just that?"

Arthur Lagardère wanted to sweat a little on his forehead, and said tremblingly: "Mr. Well, I am willing to sell you the ancestral manor of the Lagardère family. Since then, the glory of the Lagardère family has been Mr. Well. Your stepping stone."

Jing Gao laughed and stood up from the sofa. Even if he stepped on the enemy to grab the fruits of victory at this time, even if he was tired all night, his mind was still sober. Said: "What do I want your ancestral house to do? What glory, stepping stone, if I took your ancestral house with my front foot, the back foot caused the entire French consortium to resist."

Arthur Lagardère said quickly: "Don't dare, don't dare."

Idaka negatively said: "Lagardère has acquired 100% of the shares in the French integrated media group in my hands at a premium."

Arthur Lagardère stunned and defended: "Mr. Well, I don't have that much money in my hands."

Jing Gao interrupted him strongly and said, "I can lend you money!"

What Jing Gao said seems a little bit nonsensical, but the mystery lies in the fact that the equity of Lagardère Group is yours, but I am your creditor! Can maintain a certain degree of influence.

And the Lagardère consortium needs to repay its debts every year. You have worked hard for a year, and the profits are mine.

Idaka did not mention that he would form a new bank, saying: "I will accept the magazines and publishing houses. I don't want your ancestral home. Let me replace a larger piece of land in the suburbs of Paris. I'm going to make one. Bigger manor."

Arthur Lagardère had the final calculations in his heart, and he found to his frustration that if the acquisition was made at a premium of 100%, he would owe Mr. Going nearly 3 billion euros in debt. This is not even interest. Given the profitability of the Lagardère Group, it may be difficult for him to get rid of this debt within the next ten years.

As one of the three largest publishing groups in the world, the annual net profit of Lagardère Group is not high. The estimated net profit for 2018 is only around 250 million euros.

Originally purchased at a premium of 30%, part of the funds will be advanced by Bernard Arnault, and direct debt-to-equity swaps will come back. He will continue to be a supporter of the Lagardère family in the Lagardère Group.

Of course, the price Lagardère paid was that in this negotiation, he was left behind, in a weak position, and suffered from Mr. Jing's dissatisfaction.

This is a negotiation technique. Arnault and Lagardère offered conditions separately, and in comparison, Arnault was obviously more sincere. Then, Mr. Jing will most likely agree to Arnault's terms, and then beat and question Lagardar's sincerity.

It's just that, I didn't expect Mr. Jing to open his mouth and ask for such a harsh price!

Arthur Lagardère grimaced and agreed tangledly: "Okay, Mr. Well."

"Okay, promising, please entertain them and implement the agreement." Jing Gao commanded, and went to the third floor to rest.

...

...

The news that Jing Gao was shot last night swept like a storm in certain circles in Paris and spread quickly. However, no word appeared on the Internet or in the news.

Dong Lingxi, Ouyang Wan, and Chen Qingshuang had breakfast in the embassy and returned to their villa at No. 12, Luotan Street, District 16, accompanied by Counselor Wu.

The villa hidden by the plane trees was slightly quiet, and the summer breeze slowly passed by. The vigilant bodyguard did his duty, but his face was tired. Obviously, after tossing it down last night, I was tired.

There was no one in the lobby on the first floor. Dong Youwei led people to negotiate in the meeting room. Seeing Counselor Wu, Dong Lingxi and others arrived, he took a short break.

Counselor Wu was here to take a look at Jing Gao's situation, and when he learned that Jing Gao was asleep on the third floor, he smiled and said, "It's okay, Assistant Dong, are you busy!"

Dong Youwei's eyes reddened, and with a tired smile, he sent Counselor Wu out and talked about the shooting in a low voice. "Our manager Jing made a few calls last night, and it is basically certain that the messenger behind the scenes last night is a I hope the embassy can put pressure on the French cabinet and the police and ask for an explanation."

Counselor Wu was a little surprised. He didn't know who was behind the scenes last night~www.readwn.com~ After thinking about it, he frankly said: "Assistant Dong, I'm honest, you are only injured. The French police do not. I will check it carefully. If no results are found, the cabinet can naturally fool it."

Dong Youwei smiled slightly and said, "Just put pressure on it."

Counselor Wu understood a bit, there should be exchanges and compromises behind him, and he smiled and said: "Okay. Our citizens and entrepreneurs were shot in France. We will note the French government. It is our duty to put pressure on them."

He went to inform Jing Gao last night, and the rest of the matter is also clear. The general view of him and his colleagues is that there is a high probability that the shooting incident was directed and performed by Jing Gao in order to solve the dead end of last night.

It is estimated that Mr. Jing has gained a lot from this matter! What a clever, powerful person, and bold enough!

Not to mention that Dong Youwei went to send Counselor Wu. Dong Lingxi, Ouyang Wan, and Chen Qingshuang went to see Jing Gao on the third floor, but saw that the windows in the master bedroom were closed and the air conditioner was on. Jing Gao was lying on the bed in a soft gray nightgown and sleeping soundly. The breathing sound is even. I must have been exhausted last night.

The three people's worries and feelings didn't know where to start, but they felt that in the quiet bedroom, their hearts became soft.
