Chapter 1402 I Come, I See, I Conquer

"Look, Halle Berry... I really don't take APLUS's girlfriend seriously. She lives on the same plane, and now she's in public... I think she's about to spray water."

The photographer saw Song Ya holding Song Ya's arm, with spring tides on his face, and Harley complaining about walking as soft as noodles.

The fellow reporter didn't answer, and kept musing his head to fight with the entertainment reporters to squeeze him out of a good seat.

"Ale Ale Ale!"

The French can't forget the summer of winning the championship in 1998. The fans who came to pick them up sang the cup of life in unison.

Song Ya was very good at immediately fulfilling their wish, raising one arm high, waving and twisting her buttocks in a big way to the rhythm.

"APLUS! APLUS! Ah! Ah!" In return, the fans screamed and cheered like a tide.

"APLUS, come to France this time..." The reporters shoved the microphone into his mouth while he was signing autographs for fans.

"I love Paris, and I will never forget being here with you in 1998 to witness the French national team lift the Hercules Cup..."

"Yes, it's been a long time since the first Blade Warrior, this sequel..."

"I've had a great time working with Halle and Zach, we've been friends for many years."

Song Ya was answering reporters' questions calmly, when a loud roar suddenly came from his ear, "APLUS!"

The reporter from the financial magazine caught his attention and immediately asked loudly: "It is rumored that you participated in this financial sniper battle that caused Vivendi Global to plummet. Can you talk about it in detail?"

This question was too jumpy and out of tune with the atmosphere of the scene, the entertainment reporters and fans looked at it suspiciously.

His English has an accent, and Song Ya immediately took advantage of this to point at his ears and pretended not to understand, "Yes, just today, welcome to my premiere tonight." Continue to answer other people's questions.

"Your actions are suspected of illegal speculation! You have manipulated your media to create negative news against Vivendi Universal, fake news!"

The reporter simply stopped asking questions and shouted accusations. He was not the only financial media present at the scene, and soon some people echoed, "APLUS! What do you want to say to ordinary French investors who have suffered huge losses in the Paris stock market this week? !?"

Only then did the entertainment reporters and paparazzi realize that there were many colleagues in the financial industry who used to look at people with their nostrils.

Moreover, everyone's faces were extremely ugly, and they had already lost their composure to the point of disregarding interview etiquette, so they all laughed and changed the camera to take lively shots.

"Is it signed here?" Song Ya just frowned handsomely, then turned a deaf ear and continued to sign for fans kindly.

"Vampire capitalist! Tear off your celebrity mask!" The financial reporter shouted again.

At this time, a white middle-aged man who was still wearing a long coat on a hot day suddenly bent down and picked up something black, and raised his hand.

The muffler, which had been trained by Old Mike for many years, reacted very quickly. He rushed forward and grabbed the man's wrist, causing chaos in the audience. Song Ya and Harley were surrounded by Old Mike and other bodyguards and airport guards. He leaves quickly.

It was a shoe that could not be thrown. The white man subdued by the silencer was quickly escorted away by the airport guards.

"Why are you crazy!?"

"Losing the face of the country!"

"Why do you treat APLUS like this!?" The fans were not happy, and asked the group of financial reporters one after another.

"A bunch of idiots! They only know about fans and stars, but they don't even know what that guy did to us!" In just one week, at least 100 billion euros of wealth evaporated in the Paris stock market, and the financial reporters resentfully packed up their equipment amidst the accusations. Go after the arrested middle-aged man.

"The Paris police said that you may be in danger again. They need to re-check the hotel where we stayed to ensure safety." The team drove onto the main road, and the old Mike reported after answering the phone.

"Ordinary people probably don't know much about your role in this matter. The situation is a bit weird. It's best not to stay in the original hotel." Sloan in the passenger seat reminded, "Why don't we stay at Old Pi tonight? Going to Nuo's house? He invited you, and I believe the French government will not be able to monitor the boss of the PPR Group."

"hehe."

The egg throwing incident should be the same as Song Zecheng's false police report before. It was just an excuse to facilitate follow-up actions. Maybe there is a bugging device installed in the hotel? Are the French really impatient?

"Don't bother, just be careful what you say."

But if you dare to come here, you will not be afraid. Song Ya's self-confidence can be said to have reached the peak in the past ten years, and it is not the kind of swaying before. He blocked Harley who couldn't wait to bury her head down, and smiled lightly. Said: "The itinerary can be carried out as it is arranged. After all, I like discipline, don't I?"

Sloan also smiled appreciatively, and turned his head to look at Halle, who was dawdling on the man like a puddle of mud, "Today's local newspaper."

"Um."

Song Ya reached out to take it. The headlines on the front page of the French media were Vivendi Universal’s plunge this week. Large close-up photos of CEO Messier and Deutsche Bank’s Edison took up nearly half of the page, and Messier looked tired. , was rubbing the center of his eyebrows with his hands, and accurately captured the essence of the current situation of the Vivendi Universal Group, which is currently in a precarious situation. Edison was a snapshot he had taken at a seminar in the City of London, with a firm index finger Pointing forward, his face is ferocious.

Then you can guess the content of the French text that you don't understand.

Song Ya casually flipped through the inside pages of the newspaper, but didn't find anything about herself, so she put it aside.

He moved his gaze out of the window calmly, observing the streets of Paris, the stock market situation, the plunging stock prices of those multinational companies and banks had little impact on the normal life of the people, and the landscape did not change much from the last time he came.

Along the way, I can occasionally see the promotional posters of myself and Harley's Blade Runner 2. The French should not be very interested in the plasma action movies of American superheroes killing vampires. I can't find Coca-Cola's advertising posters for me on the streets of Paris.

"I come, I see, I conquer..." The famous words of Julius Caesar suddenly appeared in his mind.

‘A man was arrested at the airport for allegedly throwing shoes at APLUS, who later told reporters that it was revenge for his loss of stock investment, accusing APLUS of illegally shorting Vivendi Universal. '

"He's a vampire! He's a vampire!" the middle-aged man yelled at the camera as he was being escorted into a police car.

"Hahaha!"

In the Hilton Hotel, which was inspected by the French police, A+ Liquor and the French Tricolor Vodka Company jointly rented the grand banquet hall here. Before waiting for the arrival of the black pharaoh, they concentrated on Watching the news to pass the time, everyone laughed out loud when they saw this scene on TV.

Of course, there was surprise and a little bitterness in the passive smiles of all the French present.

"Really?" The two tricolor vodka founders and French winemaker Francis Thiebault, who were still immersed in the joy of swallowing a larger volume of A+ wine industry, looked at each other.

"Vivendi Universal...A+ Wines Gray Goose Vodka distribution is still in the hands of Vivendi Universal's Seagram Wines right?" asked one of the founders.

"Are there any questions? About our cooperation."

Song Ya's voice sounded from behind.

They turned their heads and saw the black pharaoh himself with a gentle smile, handsome, calm, and relaxed... In short, he had the temperament of a real tycoon.

"Hello, hello, Mr. Bolt, I admire you very much." Song Ya shook hands with everyone present. Since he appeared, he has received the attention of the audience, and all social rhythms are maintained by one person up.

The two beauties behind him, one in black and one in white, were dimmed, unable to attract everyone's attention.

"Boss!" Hayden, the agent who hadn't seen him for a long time, approached him excitedly, lowered his business and asked, "What the French media said...you did it?"

"Don't talk about it."

Hayden has participated in almost all the preliminary preparations, but he is not clear about the results of the battle. Song Ya gave him a wink when shaking hands. I believe that Hayden, who has been with him for so many years, can understand it in seconds.

"Will Seagram Liquor... do something about Gray Goose Vodka?"

It's about business. The two founders of Tricolor Vodka were very clear-headed and immediately asked the most concerned questions. There is no reason for this kind of thing. The black pharaoh must have participated in the Vivendi Global plunge, even if he himself does not admit it.

"There may be some risks. You should consider it yourself. After all, the merger contract has not been signed yet, right?"

Song Ya replied generously: "Hi, Riise." Then he shook hands with Riise, President of A+ Liquor, Scott, President of A+ Apparel, and the two founders of Aeropostale, "Meeting for the first time?"

"Yes, we are very honored."

Aeropostale is an American company established in 1987. The two founders are in their 30s and 40s, and they both stared at him with interest, "You are the legendary Mr. APLUS of the American dream."

"It's ridiculous."

The Aeropostale company is much larger than A+ Clothing, and the two parties have already negotiated the merger. Song Ya came to Paris this time mainly to sign a contract with them.

However, only high-end three-color vodka is not dominant in the volume-oriented A+ liquor industry based on the company’s valuation. M&A is a bit small, and it’s not like Aeropostale can come up with a lot of cash.

The attitudes of the top executives of the two companies are naturally very different. The two founders and bosses of Tricolor Vodka are much more cautious, and soon came over with apologies and said that they need to think again.

“Looks like they need your help against Bacardi’s hostile takeover?” asked one of Aeropostale’s founders.

"Well, I'm not very clear about their real intentions." Song Ya replied.

Both companies are cutting-edge in the industry, with strong management capabilities, especially the ability to promote publicity. This is a very key advantage in the clothing and wine industries, so the two senior managers, Riser and Scott, chose this one after another. The two companies collaborate.

'APLUS signed a contract with Aeropostale of the United States today to sell its A+ clothing company to Aeropostale for 240 million dollars in cash. At the same time, Aeropostale will retain an independent brand line designed by APLUS. The two parties will share the independent brand earnings. '

Soon, the invited reporters released this news. Since A+ Apparel also has small shareholders such as ex-wife, Hayden, Song Asheng, Wal-Mart, etc., and has complicated cross-shareholdings with A+ Liquor, except for those present in person Hayden, Riise, and other parties also sent representatives to attend the signing ceremony.

"How's Rhaegar doing recently?"

After being bombarded again by the flashing lights of the reporters, and after showing the document just signed with Aeropostale, Song Ya got up and asked the lawyer Li Phillips who came here on behalf of his ex-wife.

"Very good." Lee Phillips replied with a smile.

"Yeah." Song Ya was relieved, and shook hands with the others one by one.

Lee Phillips looked at his tall back with a sigh. It was hard to imagine that nearly ten years ago, this guy was just an ignorant little singer who walked into Motura's office in a daze. Back then, he humbly went to Neverland The scene when he begged to see MJ, who he was still representing, seemed to be in sight...

Later, when he was shot into a coma, he represented his ex-wife in a custody lawsuit. His personal assets revealed in the court were already shocking. Now, not only was he very close to the world's top 100 richest people, but the French side actually It is rumored that he and Tiger Fund, Lehman Brothers, and Deutsche Bank jointly shorted the multinational giant Vivendi Universal and succeeded?

The world was changing so fast that Lee Phillips couldn't understand it at all, and could only stare at his back in regret.

"What would have happened if I hadn't been so arrogant and used my influence over Motura and MJ to help him?" He couldn't help thinking, but how could there be regret medicine in this world?

And myself and Sandy Glenn... are likely to be kicked out by his ex-wife Mariah Carey, whose career has not been going well recently.

"Pleasant cooperation."

The two founders of Aeropostale were also very excited, shaking hands with Song Ya again with ruddy faces. Although A+ clothing itself has been profitable for many years, it may still not be worth 240 million, but winning this company is equivalent to taking a shortcut to get a complete The Huaguo supply chain, time, is too important for Aeropostale, which is expanding rapidly, and for multinational giants such as GAP.

It's just the supply chain. The garment factories and factory land jointly owned by Songya and Huaguo are not included in this transaction.

"Pleasant cooperation."

Song Ya and Scout hugged each other with expressions on their faces. Although this guy's ability and loyalty could never satisfy him, he was still a little reluctant when it came time to part, "Take care, Scout."

"Take care, boss."

Scout patted him on the back and choked up. This time, he can get a generous commission and cash out the reward options he has accumulated over the years. There is nothing to be dissatisfied with. With a strong and hands-on management style, I probably won't be able to keep my position as the president of A+ apparel in the future...

But... Forget it, it's time for me to retire and enjoy life, Scout thought.

Then he laughed to himself again, agreeing to the solicitation of APLUS back then was better than staying in his old department store, Sears Department Store, which was getting worse every day, much better.

At this moment, he could only thank APLUS in his heart.

"Mr. APLUS! Now I can talk about your Vivendi Universal this week..."

The local French reporters at the scene began to exchange loudly again.

Song Ya waved her arm and made an impatient gesture, and left the signing press conference surrounded by a group of people laughing.

What is the use? Obediently crawl under my feet! French.

"A cash acquisition of 240 million knives, which means that APLUS's A+ copyright and asset management company can get more than 100 million in cash? A+ copyright and asset management company is wholly owned by him, right?"

As soon as the black pharaoh moved, from New York to London, from Washington to Paris, all relevant parties quickly reviewed the deal. Edison, the boss of Deutsche Bank's global financial department, took off his glasses depressedly, "That means that kid wants to increase the price next week." Why? He really thinks that the money is earned by his ability? There is no end to taking advantage of it?"

"Keep communicating with APLUS. During this period, all our principal and income are in the hands of South Bank Bank, and South Bank Bank is APLUS's own person. It's hard to guarantee that they don't want to secretly kill back."

Tiger Fund boss Julian Robertson ordered his men nervously.

"I see."

U.S. Congressman Underwood half-lyed in the chair, clasped the back of his head with his hands, and put his feet comfortably on the table.

"Forget it, let's go there tonight."

Messier, CEO of Vivendi Universal, whose position is in jeopardy, took off his glasses and said to his guests.

That night, the two newly merged clothing companies held a grand celebration dinner in the fashion capital. Although the product styles of the two companies were not enough in front of the big French brands, they received a grand reception this time. LVMH and PPR Group went up to the boss , down to senior managers, designers, top models, etc. all present.

"Whoa, what a surprise, I thought the French were going to be cynical about our merger. They always do that to us..."

The two American founders of Aeropostale held champagne glasses and said suspiciously to the well-dressed European VIPs.

"They're staring at my wallet." Song Yachong blinked at the two of them and smiled, "Excuse me."

He saw little plum.

Huh? How did he come to his own dinner party? No matter, I am in a good mood now, and decided to tease this American fellow.

'Snapped! '

Before he got close, there was a crisp applause, and the supermodel Gisele Bundchen suddenly appeared and slapped Xiao Lizi hard.

Under the gaze of countless pairs of eyes, Xiao Lizi covered his face aggrievedly.

The female partner next to him is a blond chaihuo girl who is not good enough for his girlfriend Gisele Bundchen, "Hey! Get out! Stay away from Leo! He doesn't love you anymore!" The chaihuo girl defended Xiao Li on the spot , gave Gisele Bundchen a hard push.

Gisele Bundchen didn't seem to dare to break up with her, so she turned and ran away crying with her eyes covered.

Chaihuo girl immediately twisted her body on the spot like a victorious peacock, and sneered triumphantly at the back of Gisele Bundchen.

After watching a good show, Song Ya happily walked over, "There's nothing to see, let's go."

As soon as the black pharaoh spoke, the people around who were watching the excitement immediately dispersed, and went to what they should do.

"Why is he here!?"

He never expected that when Xiao Lizi saw that he was excited, he not only ignored him, but also questioned the chaihuo girl beside him very politely.

"I don't know, I only know that there is a dinner party here today, and everyone will come."

Chaihuo girl was also indifferent to the black pharaoh who was calling the shots in Paris, and replied to Xiao Lizi, "We will leave if you are not happy." But she was still polite, "Hello, APLUS."

"Hello."

Unexpectedly generous, Song Ya took advantage of the handshake and looked at her. Judging from the luxurious attire, this girl should not be in the model circle. Top models would also feel pain when buying this outfit, and models generally do not do this kind of American Dressed in a celebrity style, is another identity label outside the hunting range of Xiao Lizi?

"Paris, Paris Hilton." Chai Huo girl introduced herself.

"oh!"

Song Ya realized that this girl should belong to the Hilton family, and this hotel belongs to his family...

Started to be close to the little rich woman, oh little Lizi hehe, he guessed maliciously, "Hello, your father is..."

"Richard," the girl replied.

Whoa, isn't that the great-granddaughter of Hilton founder Conrad Hilton? The core member of the old money family in the United States, a real celebrity, Song Ya put his arms around Xiao Lizi's shoulder with a hippie smile, "Are you dating?"

"leave me alone!"

Xiao Lizi really exploded like a frightened rabbit, out of anger, he shouted: "APLUS, are you still bankrupt? Lost four billion ah? Have to run around the world to sell your bad movie?"

Song Ya's outstretched hand was hung in the air, and everyone at the dinner party paid attention to this side again, and many people in the distance stretched their heads to look here.

Hee hee, still so ignorant, Song Ya is in a very good mood now, and doesn't care about offending Xiao Li, who seems to be completely ignorant of what happened in Paris recently, "I'm a member of the 20 million club." A small stimulus to the opponent whose career has been down since the fiasco of 'The Beach'.

"Bah! I don't think it's shameful to pay myself into the 20 million club!" Xiao Lizi yelled, poking his neck.

"Puff..."

The socialite Paris Hilton was also amused by this sentence and laughed on the spot.

Xiao Lizi also stroked his parted blond hair, triumphantly.

Although she had put on heavy makeup, this girl looked young after all, perhaps less than twenty years old? Just ignorant, Song Yanu pursed his mouth, not angry, let alone embarrassed, according to his sufficient face-slapping experience, someone should come to help him now, and he doesn't have to do it himself.

"Leo! Paris!"

Sure enough, the young Pino of PPR Group walked out with a gloomy face, and was about to reprimand the young couple on his behalf...

"Mr. Messier!" Suddenly, someone outside exclaimed.

Song Ya, Xiao Pino and others looked over in response, just like Moses parting the Red Sea, and the crowd of onlookers automatically diverted a way. As expected, it was Messier, the CEO of Vivendi Universal, who came to his dinner party in his busy schedule...

Pino Jr. exchanged a glance with his father Pino Sr. in the distance.

On the other side, LVMH boss Arnault, who was surrounded by everyone, also stared at this side very unexpectedly.

Although described as a sinner by the national media, Messier has a French demeanor. He greeted and shook hands with acquaintances all the way.

Song Ya stood quietly on the spot, straightened her body and waited with a wine glass in her hand, and at the same time, her thoughts suddenly changed, come to Liwei? Sue? negotiation? An ultimatum? A little unprepared!

He turned his head to look for Sloan's figure. It's good that Sloan, who was wearing a white evening suit, was also approaching him, and he felt relieved.

Xiao Lizi and Paris Hilton looked left and right blankly.

"APLUS, meeting for the first time?"

Messier walked up to the three of them, did not extend his hand, but turned sideways to make way for them, "Slow down, Mr. Bronfman."

When Song Ya saw the old Bronfman with a cane behind him, he was finally moved.
