As he pondered, Ye Chen returned to the castle.
To be honest, if Antonio and Richemont Group were to actually succeed in their collaboration, it would indeed pose a threat to Ye Chen.
After all, as the world's second-largest luxury goods group, Richemont's strength should not be underestimated!
Half a minute later, Ye Chen returned to the castle's main hall.
Upon seeing Ye Chen return, the group gathered around him again. After what had just happened, the younger generation of the Wittelsbach family greatly admired Ye Chen, including Emmanuel.
At this moment, he no longer dared to underestimate Ye Chen, nor did he dare to regard Ye Chen as a nouveau riche.
The banquet began, presided over by the elder Wittelsbach.
At the banquet, Ye Chen asked old Wittelsbach a very important question—whether he knew anyone from the Louis Vuitton Group.
Antonio wanted to find a high-ranking executive at Richemont, so he used his connections to find a high-ranking executive at Louis Vuitton.
Let's see if the top executives of the number one Louis Vuitton Group are more capable, or the number two Richemont Group.
Of course, Ye Chen had no intention of cooperating with the Louis Vuitton Group.
Ye Chen simply wanted to use his connections to find a high-ranking executive from the Louis Vuitton Group and have him cooperate in putting on a show to scare Antonio.
Ye Chen needs to make Antonio back down and abandon the idea of cooperating with Richemont Group, so that he can more cleverly complete the challenge of the game's release.
Otherwise, if it really comes down to a head-on confrontation, it's hard to say when the challenge will be completed; it might take quite a long time.
"Someone from the Louis Vuitton Group?"
"I don't know anyone from the Louis Vuitton Group, but I seem to recall someone being quite familiar with a high-ranking executive there. Who was it again...?"
Old Wittelsbach fell into deep thought.
After a long while, old Wittelsbach suddenly realized:
“Oh, right, Mr. Ye, I remember now, it’s the father of Cedric, the servant you took in before. He’s very familiar with a very powerful executive at the Louis Vuitton Group.”
"If you're looking for a high-ranking executive at the Louis Vuitton Group, you can ask him to help you get an introduction."
"Can."
Ye Chen nodded. It was even better that the person was a very capable senior executive within the Louis Vuitton Group.
Ye Chen had Cedric's father's phone number; he had visited Ye Chen before.
After the call connected and Ye Chen finished explaining the situation, Cedric's father readily agreed.
“Mr. Ye, it’s a small matter. I’m very familiar with Louis Smolett, a senior executive at the Louis Vuitton Group. He’s a confidant of the owner of the Louis Vuitton Group and holds a very high position within the group.”
“Talk to him about this, he definitely won’t refuse, you can trust me.”
That's great.
Ye Chen responded politely.
After hanging up the phone, Cedric's father went to help contact the Louis Vuitton boss's confidant.
Soon after, he called Ye Chen again, telling him that everything was settled, and gave Ye Chen the contact information for Louis Smollett.
The next morning, Antonio arrived at the coffee shop early and waited anxiously.
Sitting there, Antonio looked around furtively, as if he were a thief, afraid of being seen.
What he's doing now is tantamount to betraying the company's interests. If the other shareholders or senior management find out, they will definitely turn against him.
Therefore, to maintain secrecy, only he and a few of his closest confidants knew about the deal with Richemont.
"Don't blame me for betraying the company's interests. It was all Ye Chen's fault. If you have to blame someone, blame Ye Chen!!!"
Antonio muttered through gritted teeth.
At this moment, his resentment towards Ye Chen had reached its peak!
Because his sense of crisis was growing stronger, he was increasingly afraid that Ye Chen would threaten his position, so he decided to strike first, tear off the mask of pretense, and compete with Ye Chen!
Even if Ye Chen is now the company's largest shareholder, controlling more than 40% of the shares, so what?!
He may not be as good as Ye Chen, but there are others who can.
As the world's second-largest conglomerate, Richemont is far more powerful than Kering.
With Richemont Group backing him up this time, he doesn't believe he can't deal with Ye Chen!
"Ye Chen, just you wait. Once I finish talking with the people from Lifeng Group and officially start cooperating, that will be the time when you're finished."
The more Antonio talked, the more excited he became. He could almost see the day when Ye Chen was trampled under his feet and he firmly sat on the CEO position of Kering Group!
The position of CEO of Kering Group belongs to him and can only belong to him; no one else can touch it!
He will fight anyone who gets involved with him to the bitter end.
Just as Antonio was lost in his daydream, a tall, thin, bespectacled middle-aged man with an imposing presence sat down opposite him.
The man was none other than Elton Frank, the vice president of Richemont Group, whom Antonio had been waiting for.
Antonio was so engrossed in his own fantasy that he didn't even notice Elton Frank's arrival.
"What are you thinking about, so focused?"
Elton Frank asked casually.
Antonio suddenly snapped out of it.
"What else could I be thinking about? Of course, I'm thinking about the benefits of our cooperation."
Antonio didn't hide it either.
After a brief exchange, Antonio got straight to the point and began discussing the specific details of the collaboration, including profit sharing, with Elton Frank.
Just as they were chatting, a young figure slowly walked into the coffee shop.
Ye Chen has arrived.
"Hey, isn't this Mr. Antonio? What a coincidence!"
Ye Chen walked up to Antonio and said calmly.
"ah?!"
Antonio looked up abruptly and was completely stunned when he saw Ye Chen.
Ye Chen?!
Why is Ye Chen here?!
He was just worried that he might run into other shareholders or senior executives of Kering Group.
He prayed for half a day because of this.
In hindsight, his prayers really worked; he didn't encounter any of Kering Group's other shareholders or senior executives.
The problem is, he ran into Ye Chen.
At this moment, he would rather have met someone else.
They were secretly plotting with others to deal with Ye Chen, but Ye Chen caught them red-handed. How embarrassing!
Antonio's mind raced as he tried to think of a way to deal with Ye Chen.
However, before he could come up with a solution, Ye Chen's next words startled him so much that he slid off his seat.
