My 1999

Hearing the footsteps, everyone in the living room subconsciously turned their heads and looked over.

Wearing a pair of black sweatpants and a white short-sleeved T-shirt, Xu Liang was dressed casually. He was wearing a milky white ladies' waist-length skirt and long hair shawl. Christina appeared in the eyes of everyone with her outstanding grace.

"Good evening everyone, welcome."

"Mr. Xu, Madam."

In the eyes of ordinary people, Christina is the elite and idol of the younger generation in France.

But in the eyes of the upper class, he was Xu Liang's mistress.

Although she is very capable, she cannot change her identity.

Of course, France's current marriage rate is abysmal. If you really think about it, more than 70% of French women are mistresses.

The world is as black as crows, so it doesn't matter.

After everyone greeted each other politely, the guests and hosts took their seats.

The surrounding servants served tea and then left.

"Everyone, this is the special Dahongpao I specially brought from China. Please taste it." Xu Liang said with a smile.

Everyone picked it up and took a sip.

"Mr. Xu, congratulations. Vivendi Group is the top large-scale enterprise group in France and even the world. Now it is yours." Bernard Arnault said with a smile.

"Thank you, but it's too early to say success now.

Just two days ago, Christina Investment Company officially received a letter of investigation from the French Securities and Exchange Commission, saying that we acquired shares of Vivendi through illegal financial means and violated the principle of fair disclosure, and wanted to sue us. "

Xu Liang examined everyone's expressions and continued in a gentle tone.

"I've always been curious about why Cristina Investment Company didn't encounter any problems when it acquired Vivendi Group, but it happened when Vincent Bolore was imprisoned for bribery and Vivendi Group was about to be acquired. Something went wrong?

coincide?

I believe there is no such coincidence in the world.

So I called Mr. De Villepin and Mr. Henry. They are both important customers of Hanhua, and we have a very good relationship.

They told me that the reason why Vivendi Group's acquisition encountered problems was because you were 'helping' in it. "

Xu Lang deliberately emphasized the last two words.

They are all smart people and of course they understand what he means.

"...So I invited everyone here tonight, please tell me the reason?"

Bernard Arnault always has a smile on his face.

He did not believe that de Villepin and Henry would reveal their plans, because Pierre Peugeot was missing from the people Xu Liang invited tonight.

But it doesn’t matter.

Tuqiongdiao has already seen it, so there is no need to hide it anymore.

After looking at each other, Mouriez said.

"Mr. Xu, Vivendi Group is the most important consortium in France. We cannot just watch it be acquired by foreigners..."

"I'm sorry, Mr. Mouriez, I need to solemnly remind you.

I am the controlling shareholder of Christina Investments, and I am a true Frenchman. "Christina said solemnly.

"Hmph, if it weren't for the man beside you, you wouldn't even be qualified to sit here."

Françoise Bettencourt Mayer is the heir to the L'Oreal Group. Her mother, Liliana Bettencourt, is the daughter of L'Oreal founder Eugène Schuyler. She has a net worth of more than 10 billion euros. She is a French The top richest people.

But you, Mayer, have an awesome mother, and I, Christina, also have an awesome man behind me.

"If you didn't have a good mother, you wouldn't be qualified to sit here."

"you……"

"Okay." Mouriez interrupted.

They are here for profit, not for quarrels.

Seeing the stern eyes of Mouriez, Bernard and others, Mayer, although dissatisfied, did not have another attack.

Although she is arrogant, she is not like that idiot Arno Lagardère who offended everyone.

After a heavy snort, Mayer became quiet.

Mouriez turned his head and said, "Mr. Xu, everyone knows that without you, Mrs. Christina would not have been able to acquire the Vivendi Group.

So there is no need to use these high-sounding reasons to stall us. "

Xu Liang smiled faintly.

“Since everyone has said it, let’s go straight to it.

What do you want? "

Everyone exchanged glances, and Mouriez said greedily.

“We hope to invest in Hanhua Group!”

Xu Liang's eyes trembled slightly and he cursed in his heart.

"These greedy bastards, I gave them shares of the Pacific Fund, and they actually want to take it all away?"

The most valuable assets in his hands are two: Hongmeng and Hanhua.

The former is the world's largest Internet company, and the latter is the world's largest private equity.

It is also the world's most profitable private equity fund company in the past three years.

“With the success of Hanhua over the years, almost all investment institutions and individuals around the world want to acquire Hanhua’s equity, but they have failed.

Do you think you can succeed? "

Bernard Arnault smiled and said: "We can succeed because Mr. Xu has already obtained 45% of the shares of Vivendi Group."

"Do you think you've got me?"

"Dear Xu, I kindly remind you that as long as we are willing, not only will you not be able to acquire Vivendi, but you will also have to pay huge compensation for illegal financial behavior." Francois Pinault said proudly.

Xu Liang smiled lightly.

"One thing I want to tell you is that I own Yihaodian, the largest online shopping website in East and Southeast Asia. Its registered members have exceeded 150 million, and it is expected to exceed 200 million by the end of this year, and will exceed 600 million registered users in the next five years.

In addition, Hongyan is also the controlling shareholder of Chinese e-commerce company Alibaba.

Therefore, I almost control the largest online retail channel in China and Southeast Asia.

In addition, Hanhua owns China's largest supermarket chain giant 'Kelong', which currently has 1,200 hypermarkets and supermarkets and provides logistics services to 30,000 named convenience stores.

In the next three years, there will be more than 2,500 Kelong directly-operated stores with an area of ​​more than 2,000 square meters, and more than 50,000 convenience stores with name titles.

Finally, my subsidiary Taihua Group is the largest commercial real estate company in East and Southeast Asia. Currently, there are 119 commercial complexes and shopping malls that have been built, under construction or under planning.

It will reach 150 within three years and 200 in the next five years. "

After a pause, Xu Liang's sharp eyes slowly swept over several people, and there was a strong sense of oppression in his strong and tall body.

"As long as I give the order, your products will never come in again!"

At this moment, everyone's expressions changed.

Bernard Arnault and Barthelemy Mouriez are no exception.

They suddenly remembered a problem they had ignored before.

The man in front of him is not only a technological elite and a financial tycoon, but also controls the largest retail channel for goods in China.

Online, offline, and even giant platforms like commercial complexes are all in his hands.

And their L'Oreal, Chanel, etc., if they want to enter China, they must open up these channels.

For any retailer.

Top channel dealers are holding on to their lifeblood.

"Mr. Xu thinks too highly of himself. I admit that you control the largest retail channel in China, but Chanel is a luxury product, and we can build our own stores in first- and second-tier cities."

Alan Widmore said.

Xu Liang said calmly: "Chanel can indeed build its own stores to open up channels, but LV, Kering Group, and L'Oréal all have a large number of second- and third-tier brands. You cannot do without channel dealers."

The expressions of Arnault, Mayer, and Alan Widmore changed instantly.

Xu Liang's words directly touched their lifeblood.

"Although I can't stop Chanel from entering China, with my energy I will allow your store to open comfortably in China? What are you dreaming about?"

Mayer's face suddenly froze with pride.

“The Mouriez family runs so many businesses, including Auchan, a Fortune 500 retail company, Decathlon, a sporting goods retailer, and Leroy Merlin, a decorative and building materials company.

Car repair chain Norauto, clothing supermarket Kiabi, restaurant chain Flunch, pizza chain Pizza pai, home appliance retailer Boulanger, and equipment rental company Kiloutou.

Forget about small business, it’s boring to fight.

However, Auchan Supermarket is very good. If I remember correctly, it entered the Magic City in 1999. It now has more than a dozen stores in China.

Don’t worry, I guarantee that in the future there will be many reasons for you to close your store due to failure in fire inspections and sanitary standards.

And there will also be many consumer complaints asking you to compensate.

The most important thing is that there is no local supplier to supply you.

Anyone who dares should not enter my channel. "Xu Liang said coldly.

Mouriez's expression finally changed.

He knows very well that compared to Xu Liang, who has mastery of online and offline operations, Auchan Huaxia, which has only a dozen supermarkets, is too small.

No supplier will side with them when given the choice of one or the other.

"You are breaking the law, I can sue you." Mouriez said coldly.

"Illegal? Do you have evidence?

The supplier himself is unwilling to supply you, what can I do? "Xu Liang shrugged, "That's right. Decathlon is a sporting goods chain store, and it basically chooses to place its stores in commercial complexes and shopping malls.

I guarantee that when a Thai-Chinese commercial complex is built or a shopping mall is acquired in the future, the first thing to do is to drive Decathlon away.

Decoration and building materials are not my main business, but the Huaxia Real Estate Company and the decoration company I control and invest in occupy one-third of the similar market. I will tell them that none of your Leroy Merlin products are allowed to enter the market. "

Without looking at the gloomy Mouriez, Xu Liang turned to look at the middle-aged man sitting on the edge, wearing a black suit and black-rimmed glasses, who had never spoken.

"Mr. Pierre Peugeot, I am very happy to remind you that China's largest auto parts supplier 'Torch Group' is my industry.

As long as I give the order, you will have to transport parts all the way from France.

As for the consequences of doing so.

Haha, I think you must have investigated the ‘Aerospace Renault’ project invested by Renault in China. "Xu Liang said coldly.
