Rebirth of England.

"Everything must be done carefully, Your Highness the Duke, we need to plan it carefully..."

Yes, as Ashley Weber said, their acquisition of Hermès this time does not depend on funds or personnel, but only requires caution.

Even though they don’t need to hold more than 50% of the shares, the more, the better…

Therefore, as far as Barron knows, LVMH Group had already taken nearly 5% of the Hermès Group’s bottom position earlier...

This means that even if they only hold 46% of the shares, the Hermès family will not be able to collect more than 50% of the shares to prevent being acquired.

But although LVMH will not become an ally of the Hermès family, it will not do good things for Barron. In comparison, they are more likely to help the Hermès family get rid of the acquisition from the Gucci Group. Therefore, for Barron and the others, Of course, the higher the stakes in Hermès, the better - before the Hermès family and LVMH discover all this.

According to Ashley Weber, they have now filled 7 boxes and are filling the 8th box with candies...

In other words, the offshore company that they have contact with has already held more than 35% of the shares of Hermès. With this progress, there is nothing to be picky about.

After all, all this needs to be done in secret, and even every original Hermès shareholder who sells shares to them, including some members of the Hermès family, the objects they come into contact with are completely different - especially those who belong to the Hermès family. Those people are contacted and traded with them by different organizations for various reasons.

"Congratulations, Your Highness the Duke, you have successfully won those British car brands."

"Of course, Aston Martin is a very attractive brand, but what's even more surprising to me is that those German guys are willing to sell Bentley..."

At this cocktail party, he invited many French political and business celebrities, including Bernard Arnault of LVMH Group and his daughter Delphine Arnault, who all attended this cocktail party.

Ashley Weber quietly came to the "Caesar" and finally left quietly.

"I'm afraid I gave a sincere price. You know, Mr. Arnault, generally speaking, people always think that their own country's brands are more valuable, just like me."

……

To these people, this seems more like the normal investment behavior of some financial institutions.

"I am different, Your Highness the Duke. I respect the valuable brands of all countries. If one day you want to sell Gucci, then I will definitely give you a price that satisfies you."

Before the superyacht left France, Barron also specially held a grand cocktail party on the "Caesar".

What Bernard said also showed that LVMH did not go all out when it participated in the competition with Aston Martin. After all, the main business of LVMH Group is luxury goods, and the automobile industry is not that easy to enter. of.

After hearing what the other party said, Barron laughed:

"If there ever comes a day..."

"I would also like to thank you for not investing too much energy in Aston Martin, Mr. Arnault."

If not, their acquisition of Hermès would not have any chance of success this time.

Bernard Arnault faced Barron and congratulated him.

"You did it, Barron, and that's an exciting accomplishment."

On his return to London, Barron was also congratulated by the Prince of Wales and the Duke of Westminster.

It is no exaggeration to say that if Barron did not hold the title of Duke, his achievement of bringing these British car brands back to Britain would be worthy of being awarded a knighthood by the Queen.

"Yes, Your Highness, I will definitely do it, for Daying..."

After Barron raised his glass and everyone drank together, Barron said:

"But buying these brands is only the first step. The next step is to restore them to glory. This is a huge challenge."

"As long as we can do it, we will not hesitate to help, Barron."

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince promised generously.

Of course, the premise is that he can do it, and he also understands that Barron will not force others to do anything...

"Thank you for your support, Your Highness. Next, Bentley is preparing to launch a new flagship brand, which will be the most luxurious car in the world. I hope you can give us your valuable opinions after riding it."

"No problem, I'm sure it will be a great experience."

In addition to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the Duke of Westminster also expressed support for Barron:

"If this car can be launched, Barron, I will order it immediately."

"Thank you, Mr. Grosvenor, you will definitely be on our top priority list."

In their meeting this time, in addition to talking about the British Automobile Group, they also talked about the new prime minister's upcoming visit.

Last month, Brown visited the United States. Although Barron did not arrive with him, he participated in some activities.

After visiting the United States, Brown also determined the location of his next trip while in New York. This time, Barron will still accompany him.

"You're going with the Prime Minister too, aren't you, Barron."

"Yes, Your Highness, China is a very important market, and its importance is growing. Especially after the establishment of the British Automobile Group, the market there cannot be ignored by any brand. I need to rely on the Chinese market to reorganize the British Automobile Group." automotive industry.”

This time, in addition to Brown and Barron, Prince Andrew will also go to China on behalf of the royal family.

And not just Barron, he will go to China with him as a member of the British entrepreneurial team with the management of Caesars Fund, SEM Group, O2 Telecom, United Energy Group and British Automotive Group.

The two parties are destined to reach a series of economic cooperation, in which these companies will also cooperate with relevant enterprises in China.

It can be said that the scale of this visit is very large. As an important member of it, Barron is destined to meet with some big shots.

……

"Do you still need to take George with you? My dear."

Bonnie has now returned to the company, but this time Barron goes to China, and as the duchess, she will also accompany him - after all, there will be many important occasions, and it is more appropriate to take the wife with him.

"That's not necessary. The main thing is to stay in Yanjing for a few days, a week at most. Then you can fly back first. During this period, it won't be a big problem for others to take care of your son temporarily."

George is only four or five months old now, so Bonnie herself doesn't want her son to be too troublesome. After hearing Barron's arrangement, she immediately agreed.
