America's Road to Fame

Chapter 185 Is there something else here?
"Mr. William, this is Ms. Eva Green. Ms. Green is now developing in Hollywood. She is fluent in American English, and she is an authentic French. She is currently on vacation and has just returned here. I heard that you Need a French teacher..."

The people from Goldman Sachs brought a tall and beautiful woman the next day——Eva Green. Of course, William Chen had seen her movies, including "007: Casino Royale" and "The Golden Compass." ".

It's just that I really want to learn French. Is there any misunderstanding about learning knowledge in France?
Looking at this Ms. Eva Green today, although she is dressed more formally, wearing a beige suit and trousers, it can be clearly seen that her figure is really top...

"Mr. William, it's a pleasure to meet you. I have heard about your deeds in the United States. I admire you very much and look forward to communicating with you."

Eva Green's voice is very distinctive, which makes people feel... Well, how should I put it, I feel a little itchy in my heart.

"Hello, Ms. Green, hope we get along well."

Forget it, the people watching Goldman Sachs are also kind-hearted, and I can't cool down their enthusiasm. Hey, Chen Weilian thought a little depressed, who can understand his simple desire to learn knowledge?
So people from Goldman Sachs continued to contact members of the Hermès family, trying to acquire more shares in their hands, but at this time it was obvious that most of them had also heard that some of Hermès had been suppressed on a large scale. The news of the acquisition, in the process of contacting those members, can continue to receive temptations from the other party, hoping to know what their purpose is.

William Chen, on the other hand, began to get along with Eva Green and began to learn French.He can also feel that in the process of learning French, his progress is much lower than that of learning Japanese before. After all, because [Language Boosting Wind Chimes] is a local characteristic prop in Japan, it has a double effect on the growth of Japanese learning .

But even so, his learning progress is enough to surprise Eva Green. It is the first time she has seen such a talented person in learning French. It can be said that there is obvious improvement every day. After a few days We have already been able to have some simple conversations with each other through French.

Maybe it has something to do with the fact that two of them study harder. In addition to Eva Green being with him during the day and studying together whenever he is free, even at night, the two of them did not relax their thirst for knowledge. , often study together until late at night.

Many times, in the room at night, Eva Green's high-spirited recitations can be heard, and William Chen's communication with her has gradually improved.

The progress of Goldman Sachs in the past few days is also good. The remaining five members of the Hermès family in the previous first stage have also successively signed share acquisition contracts with them, because they suspended the acquisition of Hermès International shares in the secondary market. Therefore, the stock price gradually fell back and fell to about 72 euros, so they acquired the shares of these Hermes family members at an average price of 72 euros, and got about 335 million shares of Hermes international shares again, accounting for about 3% of the total share capital, at a cost of 3.25 One hundred million U.S. dollars.

So far, William Chen has spent a total of more than 35 billion US dollars and holds more than 3900 million shares of Hermes International, accounting for 35% of the total share capital.

However, in this acquisition, William Chen's good luck seems to have come to an end.

Goldman Sachs told William Chen that the members of the Hermès family they had contacted in the second stage had become ambiguous towards them. Even the few people who had been more positive before were now ambiguous.

According to the analysis of Goldman Sachs, they should have been influenced by the family. If the family members contacted in the first stage were all forced to sell their shares because their financial situation was really bad during the subprime mortgage crisis, then The family members contacted in the second stage are in a relatively better situation. Therefore, when faced with the danger of Hermès being acquired, the interests of the family are more valued by them, or in other words, those who want them to betray the family The chips also need to be higher.

Therefore, the ambiguous attitude of heart to them also represents the swing of attitude, perhaps waiting for a higher price?

However, at this time William Chen and Goldman Sachs also understand that the more this time comes, the more they cannot raise the price at will, unless they can be sure that they will get more than 15% of the shares at one time, so that they can complete the transaction. The holding of Hermès, otherwise those extra costs are worthless.

This principle is also similar to demolition. If the relocated households persist until the end and do not compromise, they can often get better conditions. Then for such things in the future, it will cause disaster consequences. The result is that everyone will follow suit. They will not readily agree to come down to sign the contract, but just wait for better conditions in the end. In this case, it will be difficult to carry out this kind of project.

In this case, Fan Bingbing finally came to France.

And the day before, William Chen, who got the news, bid farewell to Eva Green, who took a flight back to Hollywood after studying with him for so many days and nights.

Now William Chen is basically able to carry out daily French conversations. He usually takes time to watch local TV programs and newspapers to strengthen his French dictation skills.

At this time, the Hermès family also sent a message through the family members in contact with Goldman Sachs, saying that the members of their family’s executive committee and the CEO of Hermès, Patrick Thomas, wanted to see the person behind them, and they needed to explain to them Let’s talk about the purpose of acquiring the shares of Hermès. Otherwise, it will be regarded as a hostile acquisition. Then they will not only sue the other party for improper acquisition to the relevant French departments, but also have corresponding measures to deal with it.

Hearing this news, William Chen knew that it was time to meet the members of the Hermes family.

However, before that, Goldman Sachs suggested that William Chen can already hold shares publicly, because it is difficult to continue to absorb shares under the current circumstances, and if the concealment continues, then if the communication with the Hermès family is inadvertently missed If you speak out, you will be charged with fraudulent acquisition by the other party, which is a troublesome thing instead.

Therefore, on the same day, Chen William once again absorbed 450 million shares of Hermès International in the secondary market when the share price of Hermès fell again, making the stock in one of the institutional accounts exceed 5%, and publicly announced the Meta The investment company has made an equity investment in the Hermes Group and does not rule out the possibility of continuing the acquisition under appropriate circumstances.

When Fan Bingbing arrived in France, he saw the sensation caused by this news.It is not difficult to imagine how drastic the chemical changes will be when Hermès, a top luxury brand, is associated with the recently popular Meta investment company.

If LVMH Group or luxury giants such as Richemont and Kering Group acquired Hermes, it would be easier to understand, but Meta Investment Company, which had invested in entertainment media and the Internet industry before, made equity investment in Hermes, and It does not rule out further acquisitions, which surprised people a bit.

Therefore, this matter has also aroused extensive discussions not only in France, but also in the field of financial entertainment in other countries in the world. Everyone guesses what is going on with William Chen's Meta investment company?
It's no wonder that Fan Bingbing was the first to ask about this after meeting William Chen. She asked with a little excitement in shock:

"Honey, do you really want to buy Hermes?"

"Yes, baby, I have this plan now, but it's still a bit difficult to control them."

"My God, that's Hermès."

Seeing Fan Bingbing hugging him excitedly and amazed, William Chen also found it very interesting, kissed her, and said:

"This time I come to France, part of my purpose is to try to complete this acquisition, and we will send further news tomorrow."

"What about the other part?"

"Of course I'm with you."

"I'm so happy when you say that, William, but the acquisition of Hermès is more important to you. We will have more opportunities to come here to play in the future. Don't be distracted now, I will stay here with you."

With a happy face, Fan Bingbing leaned her head on William Chen's shoulder and said sweetly.
