Elton Frank's eyes darted around, and finally, he made up his mind, stood up, and said to Antonio:
"This matter is too big. We will not have any conflict with the Louis Vuitton Group. Your cooperation with our Richemont Group ends here. Goodbye."
After saying that, Elton Frank turned and walked outside.
Although they could gain considerable benefits from collaborating with Antonio, if this led to a confrontation or even conflict with the Louis Vuitton Group, their losses would far outweigh the gains.
Their Richemont Group is ranked second in the world, and Louis Vuitton Group is ranked first. If you think that Louis Vuitton Group is only slightly stronger than Richemont Group because they are only one place apart, you would be very wrong.
To put it simply, even if Richemont and Kering, the world's second and third largest companies respectively, had total assets that probably wouldn't even reach half of Louis Vuitton's!
Reports have surfaced that Louis Vuitton's market capitalization has increased again, estimated to be over 100 million!
There are even rumors that the Louis Vuitton Group is planning to acquire the entire Richemont Group!
This demonstrates the terrifying power of the Louis Vuitton Group. Even if Elton Frank were just a vice president, or even the president or the behind-the-scenes boss of Richemont Group, they wouldn't dare to go against the Louis Vuitton Group.
As he watched Elton Frank leave the coffee shop, Antonio sighed deeply, his voice filled with helplessness and sadness.
He desperately wanted to stop Elton Frank, but he couldn't come up with a single reason. The Louis Vuitton Group was too terrifying, so terrifying that he dared not even entertain the slightest thought of resistance.
Ye Chen is right, he can't keep his position as CEO of Kering Group.
Ye Chen has connections with people in the Louis Vuitton Group; what can he use to protect himself?
"Never mind, never mind..."
Antonio waved his hand, completely abandoning the plan to unite with Richemont.
His only hope now is that Ye Chen will delay his actions, giving him enough time to transfer assets and make another killing within the group.
Anyway, the position of CEO of Kering Group will belong to Ye Chen sooner or later, so he might as well take advantage of his position as CEO and make a lot of money to enjoy life in the future.
"Yes, let's take action now."
Thinking of this, Antonio also jumped up, quickly left the coffee shop, and went to take action.
On the other side, noticing Antonio leave, Ye Chen nodded in satisfaction. It seemed the matter was settled.
Louis Smollett chatted with Ye Chen for a few more minutes before leaving, as he had other matters to attend to.
After seeing Louis Smollett off, Ye Chen felt particularly emotional. What he had just done was a way of "taking advantage of the situation" and using the name of the Louis Vuitton Group to intimidate Antonio.
Louis Smollett came only out of personal favor and to play along with his act; he wasn't actually the owner of the Louis Vuitton Group who wanted to collaborate with him.
As Ye Chen had predicted, the Louis Vuitton Group's reputation was indeed intimidating and frightened Antonio.
Unfortunately, if he also owned a company like Louis Vuitton, with a market value of trillions, he wouldn't have to go through so much trouble.
If I owned such a large corporation, dealing with the Ye family would be a piece of cake.
"It won't be long before I have it, and the Louis Vuitton Group will be mine too!"
Ye Chen muttered to himself.
Ye Chen has only had the game for a year or two, while the Louis Vuitton Group has a history of one or two hundred years.
Given more time, Ye Chen could easily rival, or even take over, the Louis Vuitton Group.
Ye Chen regained his fighting spirit.
Just then, his phone rang.
With no one around, Ye Chen took out his phone; it was a message from the game.

Moreover, because they invited teacher Yan Yudan to oversee things, Ye Chen gained a lot of support within the company, and now he has quite a few senior executives on his side.
"It's time to convene a board meeting, remove Antonio from his position as group CEO, and take over the role myself!"
Thinking it over, Ye Chen immediately contacted people and convened an emergency board meeting.
The removal of the Antonio Group CEO should be done sooner rather than later; otherwise, things might change, and who knows what other trouble Antonio might cause.
Thanks to Ye Chen's urgent arrangements, the board meeting was scheduled for 3 PM today, and to be on the safe side, Ye Chen did not inform Antonio in advance.
That afternoon, Ye Chen and the directors of Kaiyun Group arrived at the company together.
Seeing that things were almost settled, Ye Chen sent someone to call Antonio.
"What?! A special board meeting? How come I didn't know?!"
Upon hearing the news, Antonio was extremely excited. He had only just begun making arrangements and hadn't even officially started extracting money from the group yet, and now he was suddenly being told to convene an extraordinary board meeting.
This was too sudden; a bad feeling crept into Antonio's heart.
"You guys go ahead, I'll be there in a bit."
Antonio spoke up, telling Ye Chen's men to leave first, as he wanted to make some small moves.
Ye Chen's men left, while Anthony immediately packed up his important belongings and documents. He didn't care what the temporary board meeting was about or what it was discussing; he was definitely not going to attend. He wanted to slip away.
