I happened to send someone over today, and I expect to get a lot of money from the auction tonight, so I just asked.
There are many peers eyeing Christian Dior, and the possibility of acquiring it with this offer is extremely small. It is just a test to tell them that I am interested in this company and can achieve a win-win situation by exchanging interests.
According to the information previously learned, although Louis Ulliel served as an executive officer of Christian Dior, he was not a shareholder.
Therefore, Han Chudong had no intention of discussing in detail. If he was sure he wanted to acquire the company, he would naturally send someone to contact the Dior family. Ultimately, only the shareholders who had the final say would make the final decision.
It is said that it was in the fifties.
In France, the name of Mr. Christian Dior is as well-known to the public as the French national anthem. The word "Dior" in Mr. Christian Dior's name is a combination of "God" and "gold" in French. Gold has now become the most common representative color of the Dior brand.
"Gold in God's hand, Dior in the fashion world."
This sentence is widely circulated, and famous brands have great influence. Han Chudong is trying to build his own world's number one luxury group, and taking over Dior is definitely a very good choice.
In Han Chudong's eyes, the true value of such companies has not yet been fully revealed.
As for the reasons for this situation, it may be because most women have no source of income and mainly rely on wealthy female consumers. The beauty and jewelry industries are doing a little better, but not much better. There are no truly giant groups at all.
With the change of social concepts, Han Chudong is well aware that the number of women working independently will continue to increase in the future, so she invested heavily to seize the opportunity.
It’s hard to say how smart he is. There are countless businessmen who are more shrewd than him.
But since he had accumulated enough capital, combined with the memory in his head, he was able to truly realize his investment ideas, and he was destined to be unstoppable.
This is true in the investment field, where you know which piece of gold is the largest.
The news of the notice had already been told to the bidders, and the bank sent people to assist and verify that there was at least 10 million US dollars in cash in their corporate accounts.
It is true that they are all well-known companies, but what if someone suddenly goes crazy and wants to make trouble, and then changes his mind after the auction? The 10 million US dollars is a deposit that must be paid on the spot after the auction is over.
Among the tens of thousands of 360 computers sold by IBM, a large portion have been bought by various banks and have been applied in specific businesses, such as checking funds and transferring money. Bank of America staff are contacting the branch headquarters by phone and will soon inform that the twelve bidding companies have sufficient funds in their accounts.
Upon learning that there would be a cocktail party tonight, some colleagues and representatives of investment companies also came to join in the fun. They could not enter the auction site, but could go to the party on the same floor to drink and chat.
In California, as well as in the toy industry, beauty industry, and luxury goods industry, Han Chudong is clearly a big shot.
As his fame grew, more and more people and organizations approached him to discuss business with him or sent him invitations to parties. Although he could not find many truly influential friends and allies, at least he had gained an admission ticket to high society.
As the host, he not only received colleagues participating in the auction, but also took time to chat with more than a dozen reporters and representatives sent by investment companies.
Forbes magazine sent people over, and well-known financial media such as The Wall Street Journal and Fortune also sent reporters over for interviews. The formal interview was arranged later, so now they were just chatting casually. Let them go to the party venue first to have drinks and desserts.
As for the group of people who wanted to invest in Han Chudong, he politely declined all of them, saying that he was not short of money and had no such idea for the time being.
…
Things really started to look different.
In the past, no large media company wanted to interview Han Chudong, and no Wall Street financial giants were interested in his business.
Arthur Jonas' assistant even suggested that he set up a public relations department to handle external publicity, personal image building and other matters.
It wasn't necessary before, but it has become very necessary now. Public visibility can be considered a talisman. Han Chudong wants people to like him, or at least think that he is capable and cool.
When wealth accumulates to this extent, it begins to become dazzling and it becomes difficult to hide.
Influenced by a little vanity, Han Chudong actually likes to be in the public eye, but he has no experience at all and has not yet decided where the limit is.
It can be the low-key show-off like Gates, or the simple image like Buffett. If you look like an uncultured nouveau riche, it seems to be very cool.
Already able to start thinking about these.
The previous acquisition contract with Shiseido Co., Ltd., as well as being surrounded by reporters and being persuaded by New York Stock Exchange staff to go public, all made Han Chudong feel a sense of satisfaction, like a liberated serf singing, and his balloon was inflated again.
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
Each team sat on a chair, and the team leader held a number plate with the company name instead of a number on it.
Mr. Colin Farrell wore a tuxedo and personally hosted the auction. After briefly explaining the auction content and precautions, he officially said: "There are two cooperation quotas in total, and the cooperation period is two and a half years. Our company promises that when the purchase quantity of facial mask paper exceeds 5 million, the purchase price of facial mask paper will be reduced to 90 cents. If it exceeds 10 million, it will be reduced to 85 cents. If it exceeds 10 million, it will be 85 cents.
The auction of the first cooperation right will begin now. If no one bids within 30 seconds, the deal will be announced. The reserve price is 35 million US dollars... Start!"
There was silence for a few seconds, no one spoke or held up a sign.
It's not that they have reached a tacit agreement to unite and boycott the auction. In fact, some companies are hoping to limit the number of places so that it will be easier for them to seize the market.
Daniel, the senior vice president of Johnson & Johnson, looked at Dawson of Procter & Gamble without looking at anyone else, then raised his sign and said, "Forty-five million!"
As soon as he finished speaking, no one spoke again. Ten million US dollars were added at one time, and Maybelline and Dior were eliminated instantly.
The leader of Shiseido Japan was in a very bad mood. He had really thought that Han Chudong would agree to the acquisition, and secretly scolded his colleagues in the market research department. Now he held up a sign and said, "Forty-seven million!"
"Fifty-five million!"
On the stage, Mr. Colin Farrell hurriedly asked, "Estee Lauder Group offered 55 million US dollars. Do you have any more?"
