Rebirth: My dad is a coal boss

Dior and Gucci have already sold their businesses and shares, and these two companies were completely acquired in the future. I think they are not for sale. So if I go to their door now, I should be able to negotiate to acquire them, as long as the price is right.

It seems that it is not impossible to intercept LV and Kering now, and then slowly find a way to acquire their shares. By then, I will own the complete Dior and Gucci brands.

Lin Hao wants to acquire luxury brands because of Paris Fashion Week. Luxury brands in the future are very profitable. The boss behind LV even surpassed many global giants in one fell swoop and became the richest man with his wealth skyrocketing.

In addition, with the development and progress of the world economy, people's consumption capacity is also increasing, and the demand for some luxury goods is also increasing. Luxury goods are becoming more and more popular around the world.

Moreover, the world has just experienced an economic crisis, and now the economy is in a recovery period. Luxury goods have begun to usher in an explosive period, especially the rapid growth of consumers in Asian countries such as China, Japan and South Korea. The demand for luxury goods has become an important force driving the global luxury market. Luxury brands have begun to actively explore the Asian market, especially in the Chinese market. Many brands have set up franchise stores and launched products for the Asian market.

Now is the best time. While the luxury industry has not yet exploded and there is still money in hand, quickly make a wave of acquisitions and establish your own luxury group. If you want to make another acquisition later, you can only wait until the global financial crisis in 2008, and the price is more expensive than now.

Lin Hao was thinking, and Allen did not interrupt. He was still guessing what Lin Hao was going to do. Wouldn’t he really want to acquire it? This would cost a lot of money. Lin Hao had already spent 20 billion US dollars to acquire Universal Pictures, Universal Music and Blizzard Entertainment. Now he still has money?

Allen was also very curious about how much money Lin Hao had. He did ask, but Lin Hao was very tight-lipped and never revealed it. Even Ivanka probably didn’t know.

Soon the convoy arrived at the French Vivendi Group. After knowing that Lin Hao came to Paris, France, Fotu of the Vivendi Group invited Lin Hao to visit their company.

Vivendi ranks 91st in the Fortune 500, with revenue of $38.6 billion in 2000, but its expansion in the late 1990s and early 21st century brought the company a lot of financial and legal troubles.

Vivendi's 2002 annual report revealed that the company lost 23.3 billion euros, the heaviest loss for a French company in history. Under intense media scrutiny, CEO Jean-Marie Mercier, who led the company's diversification in recent years, resigned, and the new CEO was Jean-Renaud Fortue.

In July 2002, the new CEO Jean-Renaud Fortue took office and reorganized Vivendi Universal.

Although Universal Music, Universal Pictures and Blizzard Entertainment now all belong to Haohan Capital, some of the work of both parties is still in the process of handover, and Lin Hao's $20 billion has not been fully received. A part of it will not be transferred to Vivendi Group until all the handovers are completed.

"Lin, welcome to Paris." At the entrance of Vivendi, Futu saw Lin Hao get off the car and immediately gave Lin Hao a big hug.

"Long time no see." Lin Hao said with a smile.

"Haha, we are old friends." Futu said with a smile.

The two chatted and walked into the Vivendi Group. The Vivendi Group's business scope includes music, television, film, publishing, telecommunications, Internet and electronic games. It is a very large group company.

Futu took Lin Hao to visit Vivendi and introduced the situation of many companies. To be honest, Lin Hao now has many companies, but all of them added together are really not as good as Vivendi.

Vivendi has a lot of good things in its hands. In addition to Universal Pictures, Universal Music, Blizzard Entertainment, there are also shares of Ubisoft, Canal+ Group (the largest pay TV group in France), Dailymotion (a video sharing website, one of the main competitors of YouTube), and many French monopoly businesses.

Lin Hao didn't really like the others, except Ubisoft, but since he already had Blizzard, it didn't matter if he didn't have it. Besides, Lin Hao had a lot of money to spend in the future, so he decided to forget it. He came here because of Futu's invitation.

Of course, Futu had a purpose in inviting Lin Hao. Vivendi Group is now in debt and is reported by a group of media every day. It is in a mess and has been criticized by the French people.

Futu took office last year to restructure Vivendi Universal, but the effect has not been very obvious so far. It has only sold a lot ofbusiness, which made the company's performance look much better, at least the debt was reduced a lot.

Lin Hao has become popular all over the world recently. In his previous life, he reached an investment plan of 160 billion US dollars with the Chinese government, which shocked the world. At that time, Lin Hao was not very familiar with the reaction of foreign countries in China, but when the news spread abroad, it set off public opinion all over the world.

160 billion US dollars is an astronomical figure no matter where it is, even 20 years later, not to mention that in 2003, although 100 billion US dollars of it was loaned, it has long been played in the Western financial market. If you can borrow 100 billion US dollars, you can leverage this figure to many times.

It's just that Lin Hao's money is not a one-time payment and there are many restrictions. It can only be used in China, but it still makes many people jealous. There are always more solutions than difficulties.

Futu approached Lin Hao this time to see if he could persuade Lin Hao to invest in Vivendi Group. Lin Hao invested 20 billion US dollars in Japan and South Korea, which gave him hope. As long as Lin Hao could invest in Vivendi Group, Vivendi would be able to get rid of the negative situation immediately. Even if Lin Hao was unwilling to invest, it didn't matter.

Today he was well prepared and contacted a lot of media early in the morning. The picture of Lin Hao and Futu just walking into the company together had been photographed by many media. As long as a little rumor was released that Lin Hao was optimistic about Vivendi Group, the stock market would immediately surge. He had arranged it. After visiting the company, the company's door would be surrounded by reporters.

At that time, the two of them would be interviewed together and have lunch together at noon. Tomorrow, France would be full of news about Lin Hao's visit to Vivendi Group. The stock market trend could last for several days, and all kinds of good news would be spread out continuously.
