My 1999

“The equity of Hongmeng Company, Vivendi Network, Vivendi Investment Fund and incubator can be sold to you.”

"Plus Canal+ Group." Xu Liang said.

"no."

Vincent refused outright.

Canal+ Group, Vivendi Telecom and Havas Group are his three most valued assets.

Canal+ Group is a top priority.

As one of the three major pay television networks in Europe, Canal+ Group has unparalleled influence on public opinion.

There's no way it's going to be sold.

Xu Liang sighed inwardly.

When he acquired Vivendi, he also valued the Canal+ Group.

If the contradiction between the two parties is irreconcilable, it means that the negotiation has broken down.

"I thought that the US$500 million share of Pacific Fund and the subsequent VIP treatment would make Mr. Bolore give up Vivendi. Now it seems that I have simplified things."

“Everyone wants a share of the Pacific Fund, but it is more important than money or assets that can be passed down. The latter can bring social impact, but money does not.

Most importantly, this money-making opportunity was not in the hands of the Bollore family. "

If Xu Liang throws his matchmaker over the wall after acquiring Vivendi, this mute will suffer a huge loss.

After knowing that the contradiction was irreconcilable, Xu Liang was too lazy to talk nonsense.

"Now that Mr. Bolore has made up his mind, let's meet again in the business world."

"Mr. Xu, this is Paris, not China. It is a wise choice to give in."

Now that we've broken up, there's no need to be polite anymore.

The tone of both sides became heated.

Xu Liang smiled and said: "Paris is not a place outside the law. Even if she is, few people dare to act wild here."

As he spoke, he raised his right hand and held his middle finger, ring finger and little finger together, making a shooting gesture.

The pistol pointed at was none other than Vincent Bolore.

This obvious threat made the latter change his expression.

What Jean Foch said about Red Shield security came to mind inexplicably.

"What do you mean, Mr. Xu?" Vincent Bolore said coldly.

"It's not interesting. I always like to be friendly and make money, but when I meet villains who want to take advantage of others, I don't mind using a stick to teach them how to behave."

Xu Liang stood up.

"Let's just talk about it today. When everything settles, I'll invite Mr. Bollore for coffee."

The latter stood up slowly and took a deep look at the smiling man in front of him.

He is different from any Chinese person he has ever met.

There is a kind of unbridled savagery in his bones!

No more civilized than those damn Yankees.

"Damn Chinese barbarians."

After cursing angrily in his heart, he snorted coldly, turned around and walked outside.

"etc."

Looking at Vincent Bolore who turned half around.

Xu Liang smiled and said: "Christina Investment Company has acquired 8.5% of the equity of Vivendi, so I have officially called Vivendi and requested to reconvene the board of directors meeting within three days to re-elect Vivendi directors.

Mr. Bolore, remember to attend the meeting when the time comes. "

Vincent Bolore turned around, with a cold look in his eyes.

"Xu, this is France, you won't succeed."

"Then give it a try."

After a few words, with a cold snort, Vincent Bolore opened the door and strode away.

Looking at his angry back, the smile on Xu Liang's face gradually disappeared.

"The war has begun."

——

After getting in the car and looking at the golden Courbevoie Building in the sunshine outside, Vincent Bolore's face turned cold.

After a while, he took out his cell phone and dialed.

The call was answered quickly.

"Father."

"Let Francois do it."

"Is it too early?"

"Obeid, are you questioning my decision?"

"Father, I'll call Francois right away."

"I just want news of success."

"Don't worry, there won't be any surprises."

Bolore hung up the phone and took one last look at the ninth floor of the building. He seemed to see the majestic figure standing by the floor-to-ceiling window.

"I must be the one who wins in the end."

As Xu Liang joined Vivendi, the news spread quickly, and major media outlets took notice.

——

"Golden Caesar, the driving force behind Vivendi's acquisition"

After reading the entire "Le Figaro" report, Dominique de Villepin put it aside and laughed.

"Our Golden Caesar finally couldn't help but take action?"

"I heard that he and Vincent Bolore had a falling out, so I couldn't help but kill him personally," the secretary replied.

"Bolore is a greedy guy, and Pacific Fund's share cannot satisfy his appetite."

The secretary continued: "Mr. Borrore has great ambitions and plans to swallow up Vivendi in one go, but Golden Caesar has strong capital. Since he dares to plan Vivendi, he must have made a lot of preparations.

It may not be easy for Mr. Bolore to achieve his goal. "

Dominique de Villepin smiled and nodded.

"It's better if it's difficult. If it wasn't difficult, Golden Caesar wouldn't come to us."

No one has too many shares of the Pacific Fund.

Jingle Bell…….

The phone suddenly rang.

The secretary immediately picked it up and connected it.

After a moment, he turned his head.

"Boss, Mr. Henry from the Ministry of Commerce wants to visit you."

"Him? What do you want to ask?"

"I've asked him, and he said it's about Caesar Gold."

"Oh?"

De Villepin stroked his stubbled chin and smiled.

"It's getting more and more interesting, but I don't know who this guy's lobbyist is?"

"Want to meet him?"

"Let's meet him."

——

"My dear, almost all the top media are reporting on our upcoming acquisition of Vivendi." Christina said worriedly.

"It's as expected. Suppression of public opinion is also part of business competition.

Especially when it comes to a French giant like Vivendi, the public certainly doesn't like it to be acquired by a company outside of France."

While talking, Xu Liang flipped through the news about 'Vivendi's acquisition' on Vivendi's portal website.

Because there were only dry texts, lacking pictures and real evidence, the attention was not very high.

More reports were about the verbal battles and lawsuits between Christina and Arnaud Lagardere.

After he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Christina, public opinion is an important tool to assist us in acquiring Vivendi.

We cannot let Vincent Borrole control it, so for the next period of time, you will not only be busy with the promotion of the Vivendi acquisition project, but also have to deal with the lawsuit with Arnaud Lagardere.

Try to confuse the public as much as possible and divert the attention of ordinary people from the acquisition case, even if it is only part of it.

It will be beneficial to our acquisition."

Christina nodded solemnly, "Dear, don't worry. I can definitely solve these two things."

After patting her jade hand, Xu Liang looked at his watch.

"It's almost done, let's go."

"Yeah."

After a simple packing, the two took a car to the Vivendi Building in La Défense.

In order to avoid the two people getting off the car at the same time, which would cause bad associations from the outside world.

Christina arrived at Vivendi first, and ten minutes later, Xu Liang's car slowly drove over.

The media who had been waiting here for a long time surrounded them all at once.

"Mr. Xu, do you really want to acquire Vivendi?"

"Mr. Xu, what do you think of Arnaud Lagardere's accusation that Ms. Christine Yerry is your mistress?"

"Mr. Xu, how much money are you going to spend to acquire Vivendi?"...

Xu Liang did not stop and did not answer.

There are many people here, and the longer he stays, the more dangerous he will be.

He does not want to gamble on Vincent Borrole's character.

After walking into the building quickly with bodyguards, Xu Liang breathed a sigh of relief.

Under the guidance of the staff, he soon arrived at the company's meeting room.

Push the door in.

Whether it is the current director of Vivendi sitting on the stage or the representative of Vivendi shareholders sitting below, they all turned their heads subconsciously.

Under the attention of countless eyes, Xu Liang strode to Christine and sat down.

Seeing this scene, everyone was not surprised.

Ordinary people may not understand, but as the wealthy class, they have long known that the two have a relationship.

As the chairman of the board of directors of Vivendi, Vincent Borrole is responsible for presiding over this board meeting.

Seeing that the time is almost up.

"At the request of Mr. Xu Liang, we are holding an extraordinary shareholders' meeting of Vivendi Group here today and re-electing directors of the board of directors according to the equity.

But before that, I have a question.

According to the French Securities Law, after the investor holds more than 5% of the equity of the investee, it must submit your investment plan to the French Securities Commission and the investee within fifteen working days, but now neither the French Securities Commission nor Vivendi has received similar documents."

Xu Liang gave Christina an encouraging look, and the latter smiled gently, and her pretty face quickly became serious.

With her hair tied high and wearing a slightly conservative women's professional suit, she took out a document from her briefcase.

"This is the receipt of the registered letter sent by Christina Investment Company on July 18. Unfortunately, due to various reasons, it is still floating on the sea and has not reached the French Securities Commission and Vivendi.

But Mr. Borore, please rest assured that I will continue to urge the courier company to deliver it within fifteen working days."

This acquisition operation that exploits loopholes in the rules is not the first one of Christina Investment Company, but they just happened to use it.

Vincent Borore looked at the extremely beautiful woman in front of him.

Whether it was her appearance, figure, or temperament, she was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen in his life, no wonder she could charm Caesar Jin.

Put away the messy thoughts.

He told the board staff to take the receipt from Christina, and everyone looked around and found no problems.

"Next, we will elect directors according to the shareholdings of each investor." Vincent said directly.

There are thirteen people on the Vivendi board of directors.

Including nine executive directors and four external directors.

External directors do not need to hold shares in Vivendi. They are mostly invited by Vivendi, business elites with rich management experience, experts and scholars with industry knowledge, or government officials with deep connections.

The main purpose is to help Vivendi develop.

So, the nine executive directors are actually being elected today.

Christina Investment Company, which holds nearly 10% of the shares, naturally got a seat on the board of directors.

Nine people, including Borróle, who holds 17% of shares, Lagardère, and Vivendi CEO Jean Foch, who holds 1.3% of shares, have obtained seats on the board of directors.

Borolé and Lagardère's equity has increased. Obviously, they have been acquiring during this period, although it has not increased much compared with before.

But at the critical moment, even a decimal point change can determine success or failure.

After the re-election, Christina also sat on the podium.

"Mr. Borróle joined the company in 2003. Over the past two years, through his rich management experience and outstanding leadership, he has led Vivendi to recover from the brink of bankruptcy and become an excellent company with strong competitiveness in the fields of telecommunications and media.

He is the most suitable candidate for the chairman of the board of directors of Vivendi, so I support Mr. Borróle to become the chairman of the board of directors of Vivendi."

Arnaud Lagardère said directly.

Xu Liang subconsciously glanced at Jean Foch, but the latter seemed to be in meditation, looking down at the documents in front of him, without any movement.

His expression made Xu Liang's heart skip a beat, and a bad premonition emerged in his mind.

He took a deep breath and gave a look to the tall and thin blond middle-aged man on the left.

The latter understood.

He cleared his throat and said directly.

"The 21st century is an era of great development of the Internet. Now more and more media companies are moving to the Internet. The rapid development of Vivendi Network is the best example.

Therefore, I think Ms. Christina Yeri, who has rich experience in the Internet field, is more suitable to serve as the chairman of the board of directors of Vivendi Group."
