Back to 1995

Chapter 637
The United States Federal Securities Commission, the CEO of the New York Stock Exchange, and the Federal Foreign Affairs Committee collectively spoke out, which stunned Europe and the entire luxury industry. This is almost directly beating the Netherlands and France to make them understand the rules!

The Federal Securities Commission and the New York Stock Exchange have come forward to pull back, which can make people think, but the Federal Foreign Affairs Commission's move makes people feel that the knife has been sharpened too quickly.

This is obviously biased, and anyone with a discerning eye can see that it was RICK who found contacts and connections in America to put pressure on the Amsterdam Stock Exchange and the court to get them to support RICK.

However, it is understandable that the Federal Securities Commission and the New York Stock Exchange are pulling sideways, which is the method of Wall Street.

Several investment banks including Goldman Sachs and Merrill Lynch also provided money for RICK's acquisition of Gucci this time. It is understandable that they secretly poked behind the scenes, but the Federal Foreign Affairs Committee came forward to stand for RICK in a fair manner, which makes people a little puzzled. .

But the world is full of fame and fortune, especially in a place like America, where no one would do anything for no reason.

The reason why the Foreign Affairs Committee made a noise this time is because the Xuele Mountain Japan Benzene Company announced that it will pay dividends for the first time before the end of the year!
Xueleshan Japan Benzene Co., Ltd., a subsidiary of Sammy Sega, has now officially entered the pachinko room market. In Tokyo, Osaka, Nagoya and other places, it has aggressively purchased pachinko room game halls at low prices.

After being scolded by Soros, the billiard room industry in Japan was also hit hard. Xueleshan Japan Company, in these places, bought a large number of billiard room game halls at the price of cabbage.

Many companies and personnel in Japan have gone bankrupt, but now they are slowly stabilizing. The business of the pachinko room is also slowly picking up. The municipal department of Japan also wants to rely on the pachinko room to stabilize the market. This industry can provide a lot of Fewer people are employed, which is what Japan needs most now.

Coupled with the gambling nature of Japan, even the national fortune is not gambled once or twice. It is conceivable that the people of Japan have a gambling nature in their bones. Now life is difficult, and many people even rely on pachinko machines to win a game. Wow, I won the Ginza Kabukicho, lost the sleep on the main road, anyway, I don't have much money...

This caused the billiard room to slowly recover, and Sammy Sega's revenue also began to increase rapidly. Although it did not reach the peak of its heyday, it has slowly increased its daily revenue to one million dollars, or even With tens of millions of dollars, one can imagine the huge profits in this industry.

As the parent company of Sammy Sega, Xueleshan Japan Benzene Company earned 15% of the profits, which were distributed to the American Federal Foreign Affairs Commission. According to the current situation of Xueleshan Japan Benzene Company, by the end of the year Yes, the Foreign Affairs Committee gets a huge dividend!
Now let’s talk about which department of the Federation has the closest relationship with Song Yang, and that may be the Foreign Affairs Committee. From the head of the department to the staff below, as well as consultants, experts, etc. Take a share of the pie and come to "subsidize" the family.

At this time, stand up and shout a few words for RICK. It is not difficult for the Federal Affairs Commission. The Federal Foreign Affairs Commission does not necessarily have to take action, but the attitude is done. Got acquainted.

If you are sensible, then the Federal Foreign Affairs Committee is just bluffing. If you are not sensible, then someone will say something. Maybe the fake ones can become true!
"At present, the Gucci Group's voting is still going on, but some insiders of Gucci have revealed that the resolution to implement the poison pill plan and issue new shares to Gucci executives is likely to be passed. De Soleil is in favor of this resolution Supportive attitude!"

"The latest news from Amsterdam, the Netherlands, the Amsterdam Exchange announced that it has received complaints from LVMH Group about the improper transactions of Gucci and RICK, but the Exchange Committee declared that Gucci's procedure for launching the poison pill plan was not in violation of the regulations...

The Amsterdam court also received a complaint from the legal department of the LVMH Group. The person in charge of the Amsterdam court declared that he would try his best to facilitate the LVMH Group and Gucci to reach a suspension agreement or an acquisition agreement, and an investigation team has been established. "

"Bernard, it is very unfavorable to the LVMH Group now. Lazard Bank, it is difficult to help the LVMH Group gain support from Wall Street, and France may not be able to help the LVMH Group."

In Bernard Arnott's office, a middle-aged man was sitting. He was Antoine Burnham, director of Lazard Bank, and the head of Lazard Bank in Europe.

Lazard is a bank established by French Jews. Although its headquarters has been moved to Wall Street, it still has a large number of businesses in Europe. It mainly deals with Jewish deposits and mergers and acquisitions.

The crazy mergers and acquisitions of the LVMH Group in these years are inseparable from the support of Lazard Bank. Of course, for this reason, Lazard earns more than one billion dollars from the LVMH Group every year.

Bernard Arnott's start-up work, Snake Tunxiang's acquisition of Busak Textile Group, was operated by Antoine Burnham for Bernard, and the relationship between the two naturally need not be mentioned.

But this time, Antoine Burnham persuaded Bernard to stop, because the opponent he encountered this time did not follow the rules at all, he was just playing hooligans, and Amsterdam was obviously under pressure. Too much meddling in this matter, this kind of opponent, what can we win?

Bernard Arnott said nothing, and drinking his own wine was tasteless.

Shaking his head, Bernard said, "The dust has not yet settled, if the LVMH Group lets go like this, it will be a blow to the entire brand!"

Bernard Arnott also didn't expect that the two opponents this time would not follow the rules. Gucci didn't want Bilian, and bypassed the major shareholders to play tricks.

RICK was even worse, calling people directly, causing the American department to end up sideways, obviously bullying people, and losing face.

These two, one is more than the other, and Bernard and the LVMH group are a little bit overwhelmed for a while.

"For RICK, you can find helpers to get rid of the Congressman from America, but the LVMH group is just and fair, and it will compete with RICK!
I want to see how much the Internet upstart in Silicon Valley is willing to spend for Gucci. "

It's better to be broken than to be whole. After so many years, Bernard has never been so aggrieved, and he was clearly set up by someone.

"Boss," Antonio ran into the office at this time and said to Bernard, "The Italian Securities Commission has fined LVMH $38. In the acquisition of the brand, it is suspected of leaking confidential information!"

This happened four years ago, and it was suddenly caught out. The Italian Securities Commission accused the LVMH Group of acquiring the equity of the major shareholder at a high price when it acquired Berluti leather shoes, but bought the minority shareholder at the price of cabbage. It was obviously treated differently, and the news was disclosed to other organizations in advance, and a crop of leeks was harvested.

As for what happened, no one knows. Anyway, the Italian Securities Commission has now issued a fine to the LVMH Group.

Hearing this news, Bernard Arnault, who has always been a gentleman, blushed a little. The fine was not large and extremely humiliating. He almost pointed to Bernard's nose and told him that this is Italy. It's against him.

"Make an offer to Gucci and tell De Soleil that the LVMH Group wants to acquire Gucci!"

Bernard's fingers pinching the wine glass began to turn white, and he stared at Antonio and said.
