My 1999

China's logistics industry has a weak foundation. Even if it wants to cooperate, it has no choice but to build its own.

Especially in Southeast Asia, where Yihaodian focuses on development, the logistics foundation is even weaker.

Huge logistics coupled with rapidly developing B2C business is the entire valuation of Yihaodian.

"Has the road show started?"

"It has already started. However, Mr. Jiang from Hanhua hopes that Hanhua Securities can be responsible for the listing and underwriting of Yihaodian in Hong Kong and Macao, as well as in mainland China."

Although No. 1haodian is listed in Hong Kong and Shanghai-Hong Kong Stock Connect has not yet appeared, it is the same as Xu Liang’s initial investment in US stocks.

As long as you find a way, you can always bypass supervision.

"What do you think?"

"Hanhua Securities' foundation in the mainland is far better than that of Merrill Lynch and Morgan Stanley. Although Hong Kong and Macao are a little weaker, it does not affect the overall situation."

Investments in the Hong Kong stock market come from all over the world.

Hong Kong alone cannot support this world-class securities trading market.

Therefore, the Hong Kong and Macao markets are not as important as imagined compared to the Hong Kong stock market.

More importantly, as an old man from Hongmeng, Xie Wen certainly knew the relationship between Jiang Xiaoyang and his big boss.

Definitely not going to object.

"Then talk to her."

"OK."

In half a year, Jiang Xiaoyang has absorbed and integrated Delong's securities business.

In line with the brand that Hanhua has accumulated over the years, it has quickly become a presence on par with several major national securities companies in the mainland.

Now she is obviously unwilling to stay in the mainland.

Since she has this ambition, Xu Liang is of course willing to cooperate.

After chatting about Hongmeng's management for a while, Xu Liang hung up the phone.

I asked about the fund-raising of Hanhua's Paris office and was just about to go home.

Christina called in.

"Xu, something happened.

I just received a letter of investigation from the Securities Commission. They said that Christina Investment Company used illegal financial means and violated the principles of fairness and securities laws in the process of acquiring Vivendi. They have now officially opened a case against us.

If this judgment stands.

Not only will we have to pay a huge fine, but Vivendi's acquisition will also stall or even fail completely. "

The anxious voice sounded like thunder in Xu Liang's ears.

Take a deep breath.

said in a deep voice.

"Don't worry, I'll call and ask."

"Um."

After Xu Liang thought about it briefly, he immediately called French Prime Minister Dominique de Villepin.

This is the highest-ranking and most powerful person he knows within the government.

Looking for him can save you a lot of unnecessary intermediate links.

The phone rang for a while and then connected.

"Haha, dear Xu, congratulations. Vincent Bolore is in jail, and Vivendi is yours."

"Congratulations? I don't feel the slightest bit happy right now." Xu Liang said calmly.

"Huh? What happened?"

"Just now, I just received a letter of investigation from the Paris Securities Commission. They said that our acquisition of Vivendi Group was illegal and they wanted to investigate us."

"Is this happening? Don't worry, I'll call and ask right away."

"Okay, I'm waiting for your call."

Dominique de Villepin hung up the phone with a smile on his face but no sign of questioning.

"It looks like those guys are taking action."

French Commerce Minister Henri Cross, sitting across the desk, smiled.

“They are too impatient.

Our Golden Caesar finally defeated Vincent Bolore, but before he could enjoy the joy and excitement for a long time, he was hit in the head by these greedy guys.

Gee, that's really cruel. "

De Villepin laughed in agreement.

But soon the smile on his face subsided and was replaced by a look of worry.

"What's wrong?" Henry asked in surprise.

"Well, I hope they have a smaller appetite and don't force Xu Liang to lose both sides. By then, I'm afraid we won't be able to keep our share of the Pacific Fund."

Henry nodded in agreement, "Xu Liang is still very generous and is willing to spend money for his own benefit. But he has almost no foundation in France.

It's far behind those big families.

Even if we want to help him, we can't stop the combined efforts of several big families. "

De Villepin sighed.

In the capitalist world where the jungle prevails, power is always inferior to money.

Especially those wealthy families that have been rooted for hundreds of years, their influence is astonishing.

Just one or two families, but when they join forces.

Even if he is the Prime Minister, he still has to give in.

——

Xu Liang slowly hung up the phone.

There was solemnity in his expression.

"It still doesn't work?" Christina next to her asked worriedly.

Xu Liang nodded slowly, "They all have the same tone. On the first call, they said they wanted to inquire. On the second call, they just kicked the ball. On the third call, they couldn't get through."

"These hateful politicians take money but don't do anything." Christina cursed angrily.

Xu Liang touched his chin, with a hint of thought in his eyes.

After a while.

"Lu Hui?"

"Mr. Xu."

"You call in my name Bernard Arnault; Bartholomew Mouriez; Alain Widmore; François Pinault; Françoise Betancourt Meyer. Call them and tell them I’ll treat them to dinner tonight.”

"OK."

Lu Hui immediately turned around and left.

Looking at Christina's confused eyes.

"It is not possible for one family or one surname to make so many high-ranking politicians in France reject us unanimously. The only possibility is that several families join forces."

Christina's eyes showed worry.

As a French, she knows the power of these families better than Xu Liang.

LV Group, Auchan Group, L'Oreal Group, Kering Group, Chanel Group, except for Hermes, which is in chaos, the most powerful groups in France and their controllers behind the scenes have appeared.

These wealthy families that have developed for two or three hundred years have too much power when they join hands.

Not to mention blocking their acquisition of Vivendi, manipulating the presidential election is not impossible for them.

Suddenly, a strong warmth came from the palm of my hand.

The white and slender palm has been tightly grasped by the man beside him.

"Don't worry. They spend so much effort just to make money. Listen to their conditions first. Moreover, I, Xu Liang, am not a soft egg that can be slaughtered at will. If they don't know what's good for them, don't blame me for being rude."

Xu Liang said coldly.

Now, the assets controlled by Hanhua and Hongyan alone are nearly 200 billion US dollars.

The power derived from this huge asset is even more amazing.

In addition, he has been working tirelessly to strengthen the security of Hongyan over the years.

Therefore, no matter whether it is soft or hard, he is not afraid of the challenge of these guys.

——

A silver Rolls-Royce Phantom stretched sedan is driving along the street under the escort of two Mercedes-Benz.

Bernard poured half a glass of red wine and handed it over.

"Thank you."

Muriez took it.

The two of them clinked their glasses briefly, took a sip each, and Bernard smiled.

"Jin Caesar is smarter than I thought, and he guessed our existence so quickly."

"To be able to create such a big business at the age of 26, he is certainly a smart person. But..."

Seeing the worry on the old friend's face.

"Why, are you worried that he won't agree?"

"Young people are hot-tempered and impulsive. They may not agree to our conditions." Muriez said.

He still remembered that Xu Liang had a verbal fight with Larry Ellison, and when they got angry, they directly asked for a fight.

Although he just laughed it off when he watched the news, he is now worried that the other party will flip the table.

If that happens, both sides will suffer.

You have to know that they have dealt with so many bigwigs in the political world, and the money they have invested is no less than Xu Liang.

"You think too much. Recklessness is just his protective color, and insidiousness and cunning are his true nature. Otherwise, he would not have reached his current position at such a young age." Bernard said.

Muriez nodded, "Old man, I don't want my hard work during this period to be in vain, so as long as you can get enough benefits, don't push people too hard."

"Don't worry."

Dingling...

The phone rang.

Bernard picked up the phone, said a few words briefly, and then hung up.

"Who?"

"Françoise, she's already at Avenue Foch. I told her to wait for us there, and then go in together when everyone is here."

Muriez nodded, "I hope this crazy woman doesn't go too far."

Not many people would take their mother to court for the sake of profit.

"Don't worry, Françoise is greedy, but she's not a fool."

Since the acquisition of Vivendi Group was settled with Vincent Borrole's imprisonment, the reporters and demonstrators gathered outside the mansion at 1288 Avenue Foch have dispersed.

But the mansion, which had returned to its quiet state, suddenly became lively at night.

One after another, luxury cars, under the guidance of bodyguards, parked in the garage.

Xu Liang stood on the second floor, watching the people coming out of the luxury cars one by one.

In addition to the five he expected, there was one more person, 'Pierre Peugeot', the chairman of the board of directors of Peugeot Group, one of the world's top ten automobile groups.

As a representative of the French industrial sector, the Peugeot family does not hold many shares in the Peugeot Automobile Group, but its administrative influence has been great over the years.

In Montbéliard, where the Peugeot Group is headquartered, government officials must first go to the Peugeot Group to pay their respects when they take office.

This shows its influence.

"You really think highly of me. The six companies have joined forces."

Xu Liang murmured to himself.

A heavy pressure spread in his heart.

No matter how bold the words were before, facing the family's assets that add up to more than 500 billion euros, representing nearly one-third of the global luxury industry, and the influence of several top families covering the entire France.

No one can pat their chests and guarantee that they can withstand this pressure.

"Knock knock..."

There was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

Lu Hui, who pushed the door open, glanced at him and said respectfully.

"Mr. Xu, my contract has expired."

Xu Liang took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.

The pressure in his heart was also relieved a lot.

"If the enemy comes, we will fight back. If the water comes, we will block it with earth. At worst, we can give up the French market!"

After thinking this, he turned around abruptly and walked downstairs.

Lv Hui hurriedly followed him.
