The call came from a senior executive at Kaiyun Group. Previously, Ye Chen had invited Yan Yudan's teacher, which shocked the entire company. Many neutral senior executives had quietly joined Ye Chen's camp and pledged allegiance to him.
The owner of this phone number was one of them. When Ye Chen added his contact information, he didn't think too much about it or expect anything. But not long has passed, so why did he take the initiative to contact him?
In Ye Chen's memory, the senior executives of this group were not such abrupt people. If they suddenly contacted him at night, it was probably because they had something to say.
"Excuse me, I need to go outside to take this call."
Ye Chen made a point of mentioning this to old Wittelsbach, since he was a guest in their home and everyone was watching him.
"Mr. Ye, please proceed."
Old Wittelsbach naturally didn't mind and gestured for Ye Chen to do as he pleased.
Ye Chen went outside alone and answered the phone.
"Director Ye, I learned some big news while I was drinking just now, which is why I called you so urgently."
This executive whispered to Ye Chen.
"Oh, what is it?"
Ye Chen became curious.
The executive opposite hesitated for a moment before revealing the truth. It turned out that he and several other executives from Kaiyun Group had just gone out to dinner. Towards the end of the meal, the executives had all drunk too much and were quite tipsy. He, however, had a high alcohol tolerance and was relatively sober.
Just as they were about to leave, another senior executive at Kering Group inadvertently revealed explosive news – it concerned the current CEO, Antonio.
The person who leaked the information was one of Antonio's confidants, so it couldn't possibly be fake news.
The executive who is calling Ye Chen now has always been considered a neutral person within the company. He only recently joined Ye Chen's side, and no one knows about it.
As for this news, it is indeed very important. After Ye Chen's people took away the position of chief designer of Kering Group, Antonio not only did not restrain himself, but became even more extreme. Antonio increasingly felt that Ye Chen was very dangerous.
Ultimately, in order to keep his position as CEO of the group, Antonio gritted his teeth and decided to cooperate with their enemy, Richemont Group, which is now the world's second-largest luxury goods group.
Antonio is willing to cede part of the luxury goods market in exchange for Richemont Group dealing with Ye Chen. Antonio wants to use Richemont Group's influence to bring down Ye Chen within Kering Group.
"What?!!!"
Upon hearing this news, Ye Chen's expression changed.
Actually, if Antonio becomes more obedient, I can temporarily stop dealing with him and let him manage the Kering Group for a while longer. After all, I'm about to return to my country and can't stay here indefinitely because of the Kering Group.
But now that he heard this from the higher-up, Ye Chen was a little angry.
No matter how he and Antonio fought, it was an internal matter for their Kering Group. But now, Antonio actually wanted Richemont Group, their enemy, to get involved and even wanted to give up part of the luxury goods group's market.
This is something Ye Chen absolutely cannot tolerate!!!
If Antonio succeeds, the Kering Group will suffer significant losses, and Ye Chen, as the group's largest shareholder, will be the one who suffers the most!
In that case, Ye Chen couldn't let Antonio continue in the position of CEO of Kering Group!
Although he doesn't currently hold more than 50% of the shares he envisioned, it's not impossible to remove Antonio from the CEO position; it's just more troublesome and will cost more money.
"Have you found out the specifics of Antonio's conspiracy with Richemont?!"
Ye Chen asked with concern.
This is crucial, as it relates to how Ye Chen will deal with Antonio.
"No, but Director Ye, I've heard something important. Tomorrow at noon, Antonio and Elton Frank, the vice president of Richemont Group, will meet at a coffee shop to discuss specific matters."
"According to Antonio's confidant, Antonio seems to have just made contact with Richemont Group, and the two sides have not yet reached any key agreements."
The response from senior management.
"That's better."
Ye Chen nodded; this news was very accurate.
“I’ve taken note of this. You’ve been in your current position for quite a while now, it’s time for a promotion.”
Ye Chen said meaningfully, "Consider this a reward for this high-ranking official, since he reported such important news to me immediately."
"Thank you, Director Ye, thank you, Director Ye..."
The executive immediately understood Ye Chen's meaning and was overjoyed.
“Director Ye, Antonio’s confidant hasn’t left yet. I’ll continue to pretend to be drunk and try to get some information out of him, see if I can get any other information out of him.”
The higher-ups were even more motivated and went on to take action after hanging up the phone.
Ye Chen stood there, pondering his next move.
Just as Ye Chen was about to return to the castle, his phone vibrated; the game had sent another message.
【bite】
[Challenge issued: Use your own methods to stop Antonio and Richemont from joining forces as soon as possible]
[Challenge Reward: 8% stake in Kering Group]
Challenge Reward: 225 Experience Points
[Challenge Reward: 141 Mall Points]
"Wow, another reward of Kering Group shares! This is fantastic!!!"
Ye Chen was overjoyed. He had just been thinking about how to remove Antonio from the CEO position when the game presented this challenge, and the reward was shares in Kering Group. It was just in time.
With this additional 8% stake, his shareholding will exceed 50%, reaching 54%. Now, getting Antonio out of the picture and becoming the CEO of Kering Group will be much easier.
After all, the position of CEO of Kering Group is extremely important.
Everything went smoothly. His position as the largest shareholder and CEO of the world's third-largest luxury goods group is probably Ye Chen's most impressive status right now!
Although Disney is more powerful than Kering, Ye Chen is only a small shareholder, holding less than 10% of Disney's shares, so it doesn't really matter.
Ye Chen hadn't originally planned to become the CEO of Kering Group before returning to China, as time was too short.
Now, thanks to Antonio's desperate act, the game has presented this challenge.
Antonio is giving himself a "big gift" before he returns home.
As for the challenge itself—preventing Antonio from cooperating with Richemont—Ye Chen already has a plan!
