Chapter 302 Can genuine and pirated products be the same?

The next day, Qi Sheng and his girlfriends finished washing up.

I found that the white lady nanny from yesterday had a satisfied smile on her face.

Then he looked at Zhang Kangyang, whose face was pale and whose eyes were evasive.

How could you not know that he drove the big car with a small horse last night.

"Mr. Zhang, my lawyer will be here soon. He will discuss the specific loan agreement with you in detail."

Qi Sheng is busy with all kinds of affairs, so he doesn't have the time to care about such trivial matters.

Even if calculated at an interest rate of 12%, the interest would only be 36 million euros per year.

It's not even enough to cover the maintenance cost of his Nord.

"Okay, I will fully cooperate."

When Zhang Kangyang heard the news he wanted to hear the most, he immediately expressed his gratitude excitedly.

After leaving Zhang Kangyang's house, Qi Sheng brought Reba and the others to the Misia headquarters.

Shen Wan came out to greet them immediately and arranged for someone to take Reba and the others to visit the headquarters.

"Boss, Temasek's 30 billion US dollars is already in place. Adding the cash flow in the group's account, the current disposable funds are as high as 51 billion US dollars."

Shen Wan reported with a solemn expression, unable to conceal his excitement and enthusiasm.

How could he not be excited about the plan to acquire Richemont, which was about to be completed by him and his boss? In order to ensure that the news would not leak out, Shen Wan did not tell anyone the reason for raising funds.

Even the LVMH Group probably couldn’t guess it even if they racked their brains.

They would choose to acquire Richemont Group instead of acquiring those brands that are rumored to be popular.

Either do nothing at all, or make a splash.

"Leave the follow-up to me. Just wait and see how you lead the team to take over the Richemont Group. Promote those who should be promoted and fire those who should be fired."

As Qi Sheng spoke, he operated the system's forced acquisition authority.

Richemont Group’s current market value is US$50.7 billion, which is US$100 million lower than before.

Qi Sheng no longer hesitated and decisively issued the acquisition order.

Even at his level, it was hard to be completely calm.

A 50 billion US dollar acquisition will definitely shock the entire luxury industry.

Even the system's processing progress is much slower than before.

Qi Sheng was not in a hurry and talked to Shen Wan about the arrangements after the acquisition.

Ten master-level talents and forty expert-level talents.

Completely draining Misia's last bit of cash flow.

But with the help of these talents, Shen Wan will be able to better control the rapidly growing Misia.

The original Richemont will become history.

From now on, the luxury goods industry will usher in a new Three Kingdoms competition.

LVMH Group, Kering Group, and Misia Group.

Once Qi Sheng opens up the authority to increase revenue, Misha's performance is expected to be even more explosive.

The market for the luxury goods industry is limited.

If Misia's performance is good, the performance of other luxury groups will naturally decline.

Qi Sheng doesn’t care whether other luxury goods groups live or die.

He hoped that their market value would drop, giving him the opportunity to acquire them.

…

The system is slow, but it responds quickly.

Following the announcement by Richemont Group, the Rupert family and all existing shareholders unanimously signed the equity sale agreement.

The Misia Group completed its acquisition of the Richemont Group at a price of US$50.7 billion.

Richemont's brands such as Chloé, Van Cleef & Arpels, Cartier, Vacheron Constantin, Jaeger-LeCoultre, and Piaget have all become sub-brands owned by Misia.

The news spread throughout the luxury goods industry.

Even the whole world was shocked.

Any one of these luxury brands is well-known all over the world.

The Richemont Group has always been ranked third in the luxury goods industry, with very considerable net profits.

The Rupert family is like greedy vultures.

Even Kering's tentative offer was rejected without hesitation.

The sale of Richemont Group to Misia Group without any premium came as a surprise to everyone.

But the most shocked person was no one else.

Rather, it is Richemont’s two main competitors, LVMH Group and Kering Group.

Especially Arnault Sr., who is drooling over Richemont Group's jewelry brands.

The funds available to acquire Richemont Group are also an astronomical figure for LVMH Group.

He simply couldn't raise the money in a short period of time.

But Misia was able to complete the acquisition, which made old Arnault cautious.

Start re-evaluating this rapidly rising competitor.

The acquisition of Prada and Tiffany cost 31 billion US dollars.

The acquisition of Richemont Group cost another 50.7 billion US dollars.

Three acquisitions, spending nearly 100 billion US dollars.

This kind of move even shocked old Arnault.

What makes him even more worried is that after merging with Misia, Richemont Group has made the latter's brand matrix more complete.

In the field of jewelry, it is enough to beat them and Kering Group.

Cartier, Van Cleef & Arpels, Tiffany, Piaget, Buccellati.

Misia, which owns five top jewelry brands, simply doesn't give them any chance to survive.

In the field of watches, Richemont Group is extremely powerful.

Vacheron Constantin, Jaeger-LeCoultre, A. Lange & Söhne, Roger Dubuis, Panerai, and IWC are considered to be the most comprehensive watch brands.

The fashion department was Richemont's weak area before.

Only Chloé is decent enough.

But now with the addition of Prada, the fashion department's star is becoming even brighter.

The impact of this merger and acquisition in the luxury goods industry will definitely not disappear in a day or two.

Qi Sheng, who became the center of public opinion, has already returned to China.

As the CEO of Misia, Shen Wan is also Qi Sheng’s spokesperson.

For a time, it became the focus of media attention.

"I believe history will give the most correct evaluation of this acquisition. Richemont has become a thing of the past, and there will only be Misia in the future."

"Our group will increase efforts to tap into the influence of existing brands and increase the cultivation of talent."

Shen Wan gave a very formulaic answer and, escorted by his bodyguards, avoided the pursuit and interception of reporters.

For such a large merger and acquisition, acquisition is not just about paying money.

The merger of the two luxury groups involves the readjustment of multiple brands.

The original group executives are bound to face a wave of purges.

Fortunately, Shen Wan had the manpower provided by Qi Sheng, and he completed the upgrade easily.

A group of yellow-skinned and black-eyed managers took office, representing that Qi Sheng still had extremely strong control over the merged Misha Group.

After the merger, Misia’s market value is around US$82 billion, ranging from US$100 billion to US$1 trillion.

Within the system's increase authority, you can enjoy a 60% revenue increase.

According to Shen Wan's analysis, Misia's estimated annual revenue will be US$20 billion and its annual net profit will be US$2 billion.

Although the profit was considerable, it was not enough to pay the interest on the acquisition.

But that was the data before Qi Sheng helped to cheat.

After the launch of the game, Misia’s revenue should reach around 32 billion US dollars.

The net profit is no less than 3.2 billion US dollars.

Although it is still not enough to pay the interest, it is at least much more than the expected net profit.

Misia's profits increased, and Qi Sheng had to pay less out of his own pocket.

After the merger is completed, Misia will definitely go public again.

Otherwise, how can the market value be increased?

The higher the market value of Misia, the higher the system's revenue growth authority ratio.

Instead, it helped boost its market value.

…

After returning to China, Qi Sheng brought Reba and the others to Fort Saint Louis.

It was not until she moved in that Reba realized that Gu Pan was not exaggerating.

You can enjoy all the major cuisines in the world at home.

Moreover, the level of the chefs is all at the Michelin three-star level.

Especially when Chef Lin Rong showed off his cooking skills, he almost made Reba and the others eat their tongues.

"Honey, it's so comfortable here. I don't want to film anymore."

For the first time, Reba felt the joy of being a wealthy wife.

Every time I open my eyes, there is a group of nannies serving me.

Butler Tang De will arrange the itinerary thoughtfully.

Even when shopping, bodyguards help carry shopping bags.

Various luxury cars such as Rolls-Royce, Bentley, Lamborghini, etc.

There are plenty of them in the garage, you can drive them all.

Most importantly, as a foodie, it’s really hard for Reba not to fall in love with this place.

We have the eight major domestic cuisines and mainstream foreign cuisines.

For a moment, Reba wanted to retire from the film industry.

I go shopping with new sisters every day and take care of the kids at home.

I’m so happy.

"Are you sure?"

Qi Sheng naturally knew that Reba had gone from frugality to extravagance, which was why she had such an impulse.

"Forget it. I'll just work harder and save some money for milk powder for our future children."

Reba was just acting on impulse, but after calming down, she was reluctant to leave the entertainment industry.

With a net profit of tens of millions per year, where can you find such a good job? "That's not necessary. You and Sister Mi will be like Panpan in the future. Whether you are filming a movie or appearing in a variety show, as long as you like it, it's fine."

Qi Sheng was very satisfied with Reba's kindness.

But just keep the little money the other person earns for pocket money.

The cost of raising a child is just a drop in the bucket for Qi Sheng.

"mua, thank you husband~"

Reba followed the local customs and started calling her husband like other sisters. She became more and more comfortable with it.

"I've asked Mr. Lin to negotiate the agency contract for the two of you. There should be a result soon."

As soon as Qi Sheng finished speaking, his cell phone rang.

It was none other than Lin Meishan, whom he arranged to negotiate the agency contract with Reba and Yang Mi.

"Boss Lin, what did Jiahang say?"

Qi Sheng saw that Reba and Yang Mi both pricked up their ears, so he simply turned on the speaker.

"At first, Jiahang refused to release them, so I told Zeng Min that I would arrange for a team of lawyers to fight the lawsuit with them."

"At the same time, I will use the company's resources to ban Jiahang's artists, and they will soon give in."

"They insisted that each of them must pay 50 million yuan in termination fees, otherwise they would rather fight to the death with us."

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Lin Meishan's tone was also somewhat helpless.

It was because his boss had gone too far this time and poached Jiahang's two pillars.

Once Yang Mi and Reba leave, Jiahang will only be left with some rotten fish and shrimp, and its valuation will plummet.

Zeng Min also saw this point, so she simply asked for some compensation and then trained new people.

"Okay, please notify Mr. Xue to arrange the payment."

Qi Sheng glanced at Reba and Yang Mi, and agreed generously.

Only one hundred million, it's not a loss to buy the agency contracts of two popular female stars.

Even when Jiang Shuying terminated her contract, he still spent 30 million.

Between Reba and Yang Mi, who is not more popular than Jiang Shuying?

"Okay, I understand."

On the other end of the phone, Lin Meishan also breathed a sigh of relief.

I’m afraid that the big boss will be dissatisfied and will file a lawsuit against Jiahang.

Although they can save money, it is easy to bring bad reputation to Yang Mi and Reba.

A peaceful breakup is the best outcome.

"Mr. Zeng, Mr. Qi has agreed to your company's conditions. I hope you can cooperate with us and complete the handover smoothly."

Lin Meishan hung up the phone and walked into the conference room, and said to Zeng Min who was looking expectant.

"President Qi is so straightforward. We at Jiahang will not stop Yang Mi and Reba from joining a bigger platform. This is a win-win deal, isn't it?"

Zeng Min had long seen that Reba was rebellious, and Yang Mi had had several unpleasant arguments with her.

Since you can't keep her, you might as well ask for a breakup fee.

One hundred million is nothing to Qi Sheng.

But for a small company like Jiahang, it is enough for them to train a new person.

Zeng Min is very confident in her abilities and believes that she will be able to make another popular actress sooner or later.

"Then let's sign the contract."

Lin Meishan took out the prepared contract, filled in the information on it neatly, and handed it to Zeng Min.

By the time each of them retained a copy of the contract, Jiahang's account had received a payment of 100 million yuan from Universal Entertainment.

"Mr. Lin, your company's transfer has arrived. We will fully cooperate with you. Please take care of us in the future."

Zeng Min finally felt relieved after receiving the money, and complimented Lin Meishan with a flattering smile.

"No problem. If there are suitable projects, we will also consider your company's artists."

Lin Meishan said casually and stood up to leave.

That's just a polite remark.

Everyone knows that Jiahang’s artists are famous for their poor acting skills.

Universe Entertainment’s self-produced dramas will definitely not use some popular artists with no acting skills.

What's more, Jiahang's artists don't have much traffic.

This is why Zeng Min is quite sensible.

Otherwise, take Universe Entertainment’s recent big moves.

It is not difficult to ban Jiahang’s artists.

The newly established Universal Cinema Line has 128 Star Cinemas across the country.

His status in the entertainment industry is incomparable.

Even Feng Gangpao had to bear with Wanda's suppression of film scheduling.

Zeng Min also realized this and did not dare to confront Universe Entertainment head-on.

Otherwise, Jiahang would really have a hard time making any progress in domestic entertainment.

…

Upon hearing that the agency contract had been resolved, Reba excitedly threw herself into Qi Sheng's arms.

When is a man most handsome? Of course, when he is spending money.

Just now, Qi Sheng spent 100 million on the two of them.

Being in the entertainment industry, a place of fame and fortune, I have seen many smooth-talking men.

If they were asked to pay real money, they wouldn't get anything in return.

"Sister Mi, your phone number."

Reba pushed Yang Mi.

"Oh, a nuisance call."

Yang Mi picked up her phone, took a look at it, and silently turned off the screen.

"Hehe, husband, this is a call from Sister Mi's licking dog, do you want to listen?"

Reba rolled her eyes and answered the call without waiting for Qi Sheng to answer.

"Damn girl!"

Yang Mi looked at Qi Sheng somewhat awkwardly.

But seeing Qi Sheng’s nonchalant look, he felt inexplicably uncomfortable.

"Sister Mi, where have you been recently? I don't have any plans these days. Can we go traveling when we have time?"

"I went to Milan some time ago, so I don't have much time recently."

"What's up?"

"Nothing, I just sent you a message recently, but you didn't reply, and I was worried that something might happen to you."

"Oh, I'm fine, you're okay... just hang up."

"You wouldn't?"

“Beep…”

…

"grass!"

Wei Daxun was so angry that he smashed his cell phone to pieces.

He was just that little bit away from licking the goddess.

Damn, which grandson cut off his beard? He had spent so much effort before he finally moved Yang Mi and agreed to give him a chance to pursue him.

But as he was too eager to make it public, Yang Mi quickly regained her senses and kept her distance.

Originally, he planned to wait for Yang Mi to come back from Milan.

Use a wave of sensational and touching offensive to win it over directly.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became, so Wei Daxun took out his spare cell phone.

He changed his mobile phone card and asked his agent to arrange an escort for him.

After his agent sent him a bunch of photos, he chose the one that looked most like Yang Mi.

The main character couldn't sleep, so couldn't he find a substitute to relieve his heat? When the woman came, Wei Daxun put on a mask in advance to prevent being secretly photographed.

"Fuck, you're beautifying it too much, aren't you?"

Wei Daxun's long-awaited mood suddenly turned cold.

Because she looks like Yang Mi, she never has to worry about not having customers ordering her.

"Mad."

Wei Daxun became even angrier when he thought of his beloved goddess being pressed down by other men.

Wei Daxun listened to the baby voice that sounded like a baby's, but he couldn't help but think about it.

What would it be like to be able to suppress the real culprit?

Naturally, only Qi Sheng could give him this answer.

Anyway, she doesn't have custody of the child she had with her ex-husband.

Because they have been separated for many years, their daughter is not very close to her.

Yang Mi did not regret her choice.

There is no way she would choose to remarry just for a child.

With Qi Sheng's wealth, outstanding appearance, strong physique, and excellent figure.

No matter what, isn't he a hundred times better than her ex-husband? Giving birth to a child for Qi Sheng was something Yang Mi wanted more than anything.

She is also much older than Reba.

I have earned almost all the money I should have over the years.

Seeing that Qi Sheng doesn’t have children yet, you can say she is smart or utilitarian.

She really wanted to come first.

But she is not the only one who thinks this way.

But later on, I gradually lost hope.

Before this, Qi Sheng might have worried that he would have a child too late.

The health of girlfriends like Mi Duo who are over 30 years old may be affected.

But as long as the girlfriends' physical fitness is improved, the aging rate will be slowed down by 2/3, which instantly dispels all Qi Sheng's concerns.

Don't mention it, he was just a few years late.

Even if they are in their fifties or sixties, they can still give birth to healthy children.

It is definitely a matter of time before my girlfriends improve their physical fitness.

What Qi Sheng was worried about before was how to raise his girlfriends' physical fitness to the maximum level.

Could it be that their physical fitness is as abnormal as his?

Fortunately, the explanation given by the system made him feel at ease.

Even if the girlfriends’ physique reaches 100, more emphasis is placed on improving health, longevity and delaying aging.

As for the improvement of physical fitness, that is just a byproduct.
