Rebirth: My dad is a coal boss

In 2003, the luxury goods under the Richemont Group include,

Watch brands:

Vacheron Constantin, founded in 1755.

Baume & Mercier, founded in 1830,

Cartier, founded in 1847,

Jaeger-LeCoultre, founded in 1833,

IWC, founded in 1868,

Lange & Söhne, founded in 1845,

Versace's watch division,

Curvo, founded in Havana, Cuba in 1882.

Jewelry brands:

Cartier is also a jewelry brand.

Alfred Dunhill, although famous for its men's fashion products, also dabbled in the jewelry field.

Van Cleef & Arpels, a high-end jewelry brand.

Accessories and writing instrument brands:

Dunhill, provides men's fashion accessories.

Montblanc, known for its luxury writing instruments and accessories.

The above are only some of the brands, not all of them. The value of these brands will far exceed 7 billion US dollars in the future. In 2024, the market value of Richemont Group will be between 90 billion and 92.5 billion US dollars.

This is just the market value. The profits brought by Richemont Group over the years are far more than this number, so Lin Hao's 7 billion US dollars seems to be a bit of a loss now, but in the long run, it is very worthwhile.

As for Richemont Group's other businesses, they are not even a fraction of the luxury business, so it is just right to exclude them now.

In the afternoon, Haohan Capital and Richemont Group officially signed a contract. Haohan Capital acquired all the luxury businesses of Richemont Group at a price of 7 billion US dollars. Once the announcement was issued, it immediately caused heated discussions in continental Europe.

"Fuck, you are so inhumane."

"What do you mean? You invested 4.1 billion euros in Italy and 7 billion dollars in Switzerland, but the UK only invested 1 billion pounds. Are you looking down on the British Empire?"

"You forgot France. Lin Hao's first stop was France, but he didn't invest a penny."

"Including the investment in Italy and the UK, and this time in Switzerland, Lin Hao's investment in Europe has exceeded tens of billions of dollars."

"Invest in Germany. Germany has the best technology in the world."

"Why invest in Germany? You should come to the Netherlands. The semiconductor technology of my great Netherlands is not as effective as that of Japan and South Korea. Investing 20 billion dollars is definitely better than that of Japan and South Korea."

"Invest in Russia. Russia's mineral resources are very rich. Isn't Lin Hao's family in the mining industry?"

.......

With Lin Hao's acquisition of Richemont Group's luxury goods business, the whole of Europe has been discussing Lin Hao. Previously, it was because of football, but now everyone is discussing which country and city Lin Hao will invest in later.

At this time, after signing the acquisition contract, Lin Hao became a hands-off boss. Although the contract was signed, there were still many things to do, such as the separation of the luxury goods business from Richemont Group and the verification of accounts.

However, these were done by dedicated people, and Lin Hao was not needed. 2 billion US dollars had been transferred to Richemont Group's account, but there was still 5 billion US dollars left. Lin Hao planned to pay the 5 billion US dollars from the bank loan after acquiring Julius Baer Bank.

Contact with Julius Baer Bank had begun, but there was no progress. On the other hand, some shares had been secretly acquired in the secondary market. It would take more than a short time to acquire them completely.

The hotel where Lin Hao lived was directly known by the powerful reporters, and it was directly blocked. Every time he went out, there were reporters.

In order to avoid reporters, Lin Hao disguised himself and directly avoided reporters, and went to play in Geneva. During this period, he was busy with work and did not appreciate the scenery of Geneva. This was Lin Hao's first time in Geneva, including in his previous life.

Lake Geneva, this large lake spans Switzerland and France, providing spectacular lake and mountain scenery, as well as various water activities. The iconic fountain on the lake, 140 meters high, is one of the symbols of Geneva. On the shore of Lake Geneva, Mount Fara and the Alps are close at hand.

It takes twelve hours for a cruise on the lake to go around the lake. Lin Hao originally planned to charter the entire boat, but it would be too boring and lonely to charter the entire boat alone. After thinking about it, he decided to forget it and boarded the boat with a group of bodyguards.

There are a lot of tourists on the boat. Although it is the end of November, the climate is not too cold. The temperature during the day is more than ten degrees and about 4 degrees Celsius at night.

There are all kinds of entertainment facilities on the boat, including hotels, bars, restaurants, KTV, etc. After all, you have to stay on the boat for 12 hours. Lin Hao ordered a cocktail in the bar on the top floor of the cruise ship, sat on the side, and admired Lake Geneva, Mount Fara and the Alps.

I haven't relaxed for a long time, watching the wind in the distanceThe scenery made Lin Hao feel much better, but the sudden noise disturbed his mood.

"Why can't I sit here? This is a bar, a public place." A crisp voice sounded in front of Lin Hao.

Lin Hao retracted his gaze from the Alps in the distance and looked in front of him. A woman was being stopped by Joseph and others. For Lin Hao's safety, the places around Lin Hao were prohibited from entering by a group of bodyguards.

Lin Hao looked at the woman not far in front of him. He was a little surprised at the first sight, a little familiar at the second sight, and couldn't help but look at it for the third time. It seemed that he had seen it somewhere, but he couldn't remember it.

If Lin Hao had seen such a beautiful woman in real life, he would never forget it. Now he couldn't remember it, so he could only have seen it on TV. She was wearing sunglasses and had an assistant beside her. The other party might be a star, but he couldn't remember it after looking at it for a long time.

"Don't stop her. This lady is right. This is a public place. Anyone has the right to sit." Lin Hao said to Joseph.

After hearing Lin Hao's words, Joseph and others stopped trying to stop them. The dispute had already confirmed that the other party had no dangerous weapons.

As Joseph and others stopped trying to stop them, the woman sat directly opposite Lin Hao and said to him.

"Mr. Lin Hao, I think your behavior is very impolite and you should apologize to me." The woman sat opposite Lin Hao with a little anger on her face. The assistant beside her immediately stepped forward to pull her away. The assistant obviously recognized Lin Hao. Such a big shot was not something they could afford to offend.

Lin Hao didn't care about her attitude, but he didn't expect the other party to recognize him at once, and he didn't know who the person opposite was.

"It's also very impolite to keep staring at a lady." Seeing that Lin Hao kept looking at her, the woman continued.

"This lady looks familiar. Do we know each other?"
