Rebirth: My dad is a coal boss

After hearing what his supervisor said, Bernard Arnault picked up the newspaper and read it again.

On it, it was written: "China's largest high-end shopping mall, Universal International."

"How big is the scale in China?" Bernard Arnault asked, and did not make a decision based on the supervisor's words. As an emerging market, China is not very large, but it is developing rapidly. LV's sales in China are increasing every year.

As the CEO and chairman of the LV Group, Bernard Arnault, this legendary figure was born in France on March 5, 1949. His starting point in life was different. He graduated from the prestigious École Polytechnique. Today, he is not only the president and CEO of the French luxury giant Moët Hennessy-Louis Vuitton Group (LVMH), but also known as the godfather of world luxury goods, the founder of the LVMH Group, and the Napoleon of the boutique industry.

On December 12, 2022, according to the latest data from the Forbes Rich List, Arnault became the world's richest man with an astonishing net worth of $186.2 billion[17]. This achievement attracted worldwide attention. However, his glory did not stop there. Just a few months later, on April 4, 2023, Forbes released a new issue of the "2023 Global Billionaires List". Amazingly, Bernard Arnault once again topped the list with a huge fortune of $211 billion.

On April 3, 2024, Forbes once again released the "2024 Forbes Global Billionaires List". This time, Bernard Arnault still sits firmly in the first place, with a wealth of up to $233 billion.

"The specific scale is unclear, but in China's first- and second-tier cities, Global International Plaza is all under construction, all positioned as high-end shopping malls, and developing very fast. Chinese news media often report that it has become a leading Chinese real estate company in just one year."

After hearing the supervisor's words, Bernard Arnault asked again: "How is Lin Hao's influence in China?"

"It can be said that it is a household name, and its influence is greater than that in Europe and the United States. Not long ago, it just signed an investment agreement with the Chinese government of up to 160 billion US dollars."

"It's really interesting. Please help me make an appointment with Lin Hao. I want to talk to him in person." Bernard Arnault said with a smile.

"Yes."

.......

At this time, Lin Hao was attending the Queen of England's banquet in London. Compared with the last dinner of Prince William, the scale of this dinner was much larger. All the British and international celebrities, and many European aristocrats came

Elizabeth II, Queen of England, Head of the Commonwealth, and Supreme Leader of Parliament, is the eldest daughter of the late King George VI of England. The full name is "Elizabeth II, by the Grace of God, Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and of Her Other Realms and Territories, Head of the Commonwealth, Protector of Christianity". She ascended the throne on February 6, 1952 and was crowned on June 2, 1953. She is the longest-serving monarch in the United Kingdom.

Lin Hao didn't have any special feelings about the Queen of England, but the Queen of England was really long-lasting. Lin Fugui and Zheng Wanrong were a little excited. After all, China had no royal family for a long time, and the Queen of England was very well-known all over the world.

To be honest, Lin Hao didn't want to come to the dinner tonight because it must be very boring. Sure enough, after coming, except for meeting the Queen, he kept chatting with those so-called nobles. Lin Hao almost fell asleep. The topics these people talked about were all boring things, such as what was popular recently, which star cheated, and some political issues. Lin Hao was not interested in these. He only liked to make money and enjoy life.

However, Lin Hao soon saw something that interested him. J.K. Rowling, the author of Harry Potter, was salivating over Harry Potter. This novel has set off a wave of magic around the world. As of 2008, the seven novels in the Harry Potter series have been translated into 67 languages ​​and 400 million copies have been distributed worldwide.

On March 16, 2020, J.K. Rowling ranked 87th on the 2020 Hurun Global Self-Made Women Billionaires List with a wealth of 7.5 billion yuan.

The Harry Potter film series is the best-selling film series in the world's history, with a total box office revenue of 7.8 billion US dollars, and the value of peripherals and derivatives is countless. It's a pity that the film copyright was bought by Warner Bros. early on, and Universal Studios and Warner cooperated laterOnly then did they move Harry Potter into Universal Studios.

Lin Hao couldn't help but sigh when he thought of this. If he could get the movie copyright of "Harry Potter", he would really make a fortune! He didn't know how much he would make from the box office alone, and there were so many peripheral products that could be developed.

Now he could only think about it. If he wanted to get the movie copyright of "Harry Potter" from Warner, he would have to bleed a lot, and they basically wouldn't buy it. "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" and "Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets" have been released worldwide, and they are a big hit at the box office. Warner will not give up this gold mountain easily.

In addition to J.K. Rowling, the three protagonists of the movie also came today-Harry Potter, Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger. Among them, Harry Potter is played by Daniel Radcliffe, Ron Weasley is played by Rupert Grint, and Hermione Granger is played by Emma Watson.

With the global hit of Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone and Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, the popularity of these three people is rising day by day. Lin Hao is not very interested in the two male protagonists, but he has a strong interest in Emma Watson.

Although she is still young now, she will be a stunning beauty when she grows up. Especially at the ball in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, Lin Hao couldn't help but marvel after watching it. In addition, her later performance in Beauty and the Beast was also amazing.

Lin Hao walked towards J.K. Rowling, extended his hand politely, and introduced himself: "Hello, Ms. Rowling, I am Lin Hao, nice to meet you."

J.K. Rowling smiled and shook Lin Hao's hand, saying: "Hello, Mr. Lin, I have heard of you for a long time."

The last time they met at Prince William's dinner, they did not talk. J.K. Rowling was naturally very familiar with Lin Hao. These days, the media has been reporting on Lin Hao every day. He is the new boss of Manchester United. Just a few days ago, Manchester United defeated Chelsea 2:1, which directly triggered a large-scale conflict between Chelsea and Manchester United fans.

The media reported that Lin Hao won Abramovich's 10 million pounds bet.
