My 1999

Xu Liang saw it and continued with a smile.

"When she met me, she had just graduated from Columbia University's School of Journalism and Communication and went to work for Time Magazine. Like you, she made the same choice as you in pursuit of a better future.

But she was very ambitious and had clear goals.

So I guided her to create Twitter and she has the current wealth and status.

If you also want to start a business in the future, like her.

Just follow her and learn well. When you graduate from college, I will give you the same opportunity."

"Really?"

Sophia's clear eyes showed an emotion called "ambition".

"Of course."

Xu Liang said with a smile.

"I...I will definitely work hard."

"I'll wait. ...Okay, lift the blanket."

Sophia's pretty face became panicked. She obviously still remembered the severe pain when she lost her virginity last night.

"Don't worry, I won't touch you until you recover."

He took out a brown glass medicine bottle from his pocket.

"This is the medicine I prepared for you. It won't hurt after you apply it."

Sophia took a deep breath and lifted the blanket covering her body to one side.

The girl's energetic body appeared in front of him.

Xu Liang, who had enjoyed it once, couldn't help but be attracted by it.

The memory of last night's gentle and happy love emerged from his mind again.

But seeing the red spots, Xu Liang suppressed the extra emotions.

Unscrew the bottle cap and apply the medicine to the affected area with a cotton swab.

The cool feeling relieved the pain and made Sophia, who had been frowning, look relaxed.

"Okay."

Sophia quickly picked up the blanket and covered herself with it.

"I'll give you another medicine tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and you'll be fine in two days."

"Thank you."

"From today on, you are my woman, and it's my responsibility to take care of you. You're welcome."

Feeling the man's sincere words, Sophia's grudge disappeared inexplicably, replaced by a hint of sweetness.

He is rich, handsome, strong, and has a warm and silent heart.

Xu Liang satisfied all her fantasies about men.

"Have a good rest. I'll come to see you after get off work."

"Yes."

Xu Liang leaned over and kissed the girl's smooth forehead, then turned and walked out the door.

"By the way, I asked the kitchen to make you millet and red dates porridge to replenish your qi. I'll send it to you later."

After saying that, he smiled and walked out of the room.

Seeing that figure disappear completely, Sophia suddenly felt a little reluctant.

This young and beautiful woman who had just made her debut had been easily controlled by Xu Liang, a veteran in the love field.

Came downstairs.

Lv Hui came up to greet him.

"Mr. Xu, Mr. Matisse has arrived at the company."

"Let's go."

Came to the Hanhua Paris office.

Pushed the door in, and Matisse Borore, who heard the noise, stood up and greeted him.

"Hello, Mr. Xu."

"Haha, Mr. Matisse, you're welcome, please sit down."

The two sat down on the sofa next to them.

After Lu Hui brought over the coffee.

"Congratulations, Mr. Xu. Vincent Borore has been formally prosecuted by the Paris prosecutors. If nothing unexpected happens, he will face a five-year sentence.

No one can compete with you for Vivendi."

Xu Liang smiled and said, "This matter can be successful, thanks to Mr. Matisse."

When he contacted the other party, he only planned to arrange a spare move. It would be best if he could get some inside information of the Borore family.

Unexpectedly, this spare move played a huge role.

Through him, Xu Liang learned about the open and secret struggles for interests between the brothers Deresi Borore and Obed Borore.

Then he took advantage of the opportunity and set up a plan to alienate them.

In the end, it led to the "Xuanwu Gate" between Borore father and son, and successfully took over the Vivendi Group.

It can be said that Matisse Borore's intelligence was the basis for the final success.

"Thank you for the compliment. We are mutually beneficial."

"Haha, that's right. Mutual benefit."

Xu Liang waved his hand.

Lv Hui handed over a document. After Xu Liang took it and looked at it, he turned around and put it in front of Matisse.

"This is the 80 million euros of Pacific Fund shares I promised you before. You don't have to take the money. The income of these shares will be deposited into your account in two years.

In addition, I have already explained to Michel that he will invest in your Minnie Hotel chain and give you all the voting rights to exercise."

Matisse was excited.

He paid a lot, and now it is finally time to reap the rewards.

With the venture capital of Hanhua Paris Office, he can completely get rid of the control of the Borore family over Minnie Hotel.

Wait for the income of Pacific Fund to be in hand.

After he invested all the money in the Minnie Hotel chain, he can not only get more development funds for the hotel, but also increase his own shareholding and dilute the equity of Hanhua Paris Office and Borore family.

Really take control of this enterprise that has condensed his years of hard work in his own hands.

Achieve true independence.

As for being betrayed by the Borore family?

As an illegitimate child who has never enjoyed the benefits of the family and has always been despised, if he had to start over, he would still make the same choice as now.

"Mr. Xu, your reputation is as precious as gold." Mathis said excitedly.

"Sincerity is the foundation of mutual trust. If Mr. Matisse gets any valuable news, you can call me. My reward will not disappoint you."

Although the Borore family is caught in internal strife, it has been developing for more than 200 years and has a certain influence in France, Europe and Africa.

After this festival, who knows if they will continue to cause trouble for themselves in the future?

So keeping Matisse as a chess piece is very important.

"Don't worry, if the Borore family or even the upper class of Paris has any news that is unfavorable to you, I will definitely call you as soon as possible."

Matisse said hurriedly.

"Mr. Matisse is a smart man." Xu Liang said with satisfaction.

"You are the real wise man, I am just a small person who looks up to you."

Xu Liang is used to all kinds of flattery and is basically immune.

He smiled and chatted briefly for a few words, then asked Lu Hui to send him away.

After a little consideration, he took out his mobile phone and called Xie Wen.

"Mr. Xu, congratulations."

"Have you heard about it?"

"How could I not know about the acquisition of Vivendi? But I really didn't expect that you could suppress the French giants like the Borore family and take down the Vivendi Group.

Your skills are getting better and better now."

Hearing the praise in his words, Xu Liang couldn't help but feel a little more proud.

"We have known each other for such a long time, you don't need to flatter me."

"I am not flattering me, but I am giving you a sincere compliment."

"Haha, you. By the way, Old Xie. I want to discuss something with you."

"What is it?"

"You should know that Wang Zhidong wants to acquire Vivendi Networks, right?"

"Yes. He reported it to me half a month ago."

"What do you think?"

"They are both Internet companies that focus on portal websites. If they can combine their strengths, Sina's stock price will definitely reach a new high and become the second largest company after Yahoo."

"I think so too. But I hope that when Vivendi sells Vivendi Networks to Sina, Hongmeng can also sell Universal Music Group to Vivendi Group."

"Okay, no problem."

Xie Wen agreed immediately.

He was so straightforward that Xu Liang was unable to react for a while.

"Old Xie, are you not optimistic about the development of Universal Music Group?"

"A little bit." Xie Wen nodded directly.

"Although in recent years, with the continuous promotion of MP3 products, online downloads have increased, and the income of the ringtone business has continued to increase, it is still difficult to make up for the losses caused by the decline in the sales of music CDs.

From 2003 to now, the income of Universal Music Group has always remained at around 6 billion euros, and it is difficult to improve.

And it is not just it, Warner Music, Sony Music, EMI Music and other giants are also struggling.

In addition, with the development of the Internet, there are more and more entertainment modes, and the music market may become more sluggish.

More importantly, with the divestiture of Hongmeng Entertainment, pan-entertainment is no longer Hongmeng's main business.

Selling Universal Music and exchanging Vivendi Network is more in line with Hongmeng's interests."

After listening, Xu Liang couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

He was once again influenced by the memory of the future, and always felt that Universal Music Group was a high-quality asset.

But Xie Wen, and even global investors, don't think so.

What they see is that under the impact of online music, the income continues to decline, and the global music market has been sluggish for years.

No one can accurately predict the future in five or ten years.

Except him.

"It saves me a lot of words."

Xu Liang thought.

"Since you agree, let's officially start the negotiations."

"Yes."

"Have you agreed to the listing of No.1 Store?"

"Yes. The total share capital is 1 billion shares, 85 Hong Kong dollars per share, 120 million shares will be issued, 50 million old shares will be cashed out, and 70 million new shares will be issued."

Xu Liang made a simple calculation.

According to the current exchange rate of Hong Kong dollars to US dollars, the valuation of No.1 Store is 11 billion US dollars, which is equivalent to about 40% of Amazon.

Of course, it will definitely rise after listing.

According to the current market share of No.1 Store, it is likely to rise to about 14 billion US dollars.

The reason why it can have such a market value.

The key is that No.1 Store has invested too much in logistics.

Although Amazon has also built part of its logistics by itself, it will still cooperate with other logistics giants.
