Shenhao starts from system downtime

Chapter 1443 Two-pronged approach
For the next two days, Lin Qian accompanied Audrey for a brief tour around Paris, and on the morning of the third day, Lin Qian received a positive reply from Bernard, and the two parties officially agreed to cooperate.

With the conclusion of the cooperation, both parties understood the truth that change comes sooner rather than later. According to the plan agreed in advance, they acted at the same time. Bernard personally flew to Switzerland to meet Bao Bida, chairman of the board of directors of Nestlé Group, for this matter. Lin Qian was sitting in the bungalow in Arnott's manor, directing Lin Rui to mobilize his investment companies scattered around the world to scramble for the shares of the L'Oreal Group in the capital market.

During this period, Bernard directly issued a foot-stop order to all members of the Arnott family before leaving. Without his order, no one can leave the Arnott Manor. If anyone dares to violate it, they will be deprived of the Arnott The status of direct family members.

Although many direct members of the Arnott family did not know the reason for the sudden grounding, they all smelled a storm coming, so that the entire Arnott Manor became deserted during this time.

Lin Qian, who used to take Audrey out every day, became reclusive during this period of time. Except for eating and sleeping, he basically spent the rest of the time in the study, either on the phone or sitting in front of the computer.

Although Lin Qian's goal is only to grab 4% of the equity from the capital market, given the huge size of the L'Oreal Group, even if it is only 4%, if it is converted into real money, its total value is still 60% billion euros or more.

With such a huge amount of money flowing into the stock market, no matter how cautious Lin Qian and the others are, it will still cause a lot of fluctuations in the stock of the L'Oreal Group. Therefore, the recent situation of the stock of the L'Oreal Group in the eyes of ordinary investors is that it sometimes rises and sometimes falls. Under the premise of no bad news or good news, such a huge fluctuation is obviously not normal.

In fact, whenever the stock of L'Oreal Group rises sharply, it means that Lin Qian and the others are buying a lot, and when the stock of L'Oreal Group plummets, it means that Lin Qian and the others are selling a lot.

Some people may ask, Lin Qian is obviously planning to grab the chips, why does he occasionally throw a large number of them, or even throw them continuously?

This is because in the stock market, as long as the company does not issue additional shares or buy back, the number of each stock is fixed, and Lin Qian wants to grab enough shares of the L'Oreal Group in the stock market, the prerequisite is the stock. There are so many stocks in the market for him to buy.

If everyone held the shares of L'Oreal Group tightly in their hands, then Lin Qian would have no tickets to buy. Therefore, Lin Qian created a continuous sharp drop in a timely manner to scare away those retail investors and let them sell their shares. The stock was thrown out, so that Lin Qian could buy it again in the end.

In fact, if it wasn't for the slow pace of negotiations on Bernard's side, Lin Qian's side would have no need to be so cautious and place an order at a high price. As long as he is willing to spend money, there is no need to collect 4% of the equity in a short period of time. any difficulty.

But it's useless for Lin Qian to be anxious now. After all, it's not easy to grab food from the mouth of Nestle Group. Now Bernard can continue to talk with the other party, which is actually a good thing, because If the other party is willing to talk, it means that there is something to be said for this matter.

Now the two sides are negotiating in a see-saw manner. It is nothing more than that the Nestle Group wants to extract the maximum benefits from Bernard, thus constantly testing Bernard's bottom line. Bernard has rich experience in acquisitions. Naturally, the Nestlé Group will not be allowed to open its mouth, so the progress of both parties is so slow.

……

In a blink of an eye, half a month passed like this.

In the chairman's office of the L'Oreal Group headquarters, Paul An Gong was quietly listening to his subordinates' reports, but at this moment, there was a knock on the door.

"Chairman, director Françoise is here."

Accompanied by the female voice, before Paul could say anything, the door of the chairman's office was pushed open from the outside.

I saw Françoise walking in the front. She was wearing a navy blue lady's summer dress, and she was carrying a limited-edition Hermès million-dollar handbag. Her arrogance made her exude an aura of not getting close to strangers all over her body, and behind Françoise was Paul's secretary. She always kept a slightly bowed state, and her words were even more She speaks softly and treats Françoise with the utmost respect.

"Director Françoise, you are here."

Paul has long been accustomed to Françoise's habit of pushing the door open. When he saw Francoise walk into his office, he naturally stood up from his chair and looked at her with a smile on his face. Françoise called out, and the subordinate who was standing in front of Paul tactfully gestured to Paul. After greeting Françoise respectfully, he quickly left Paul's office. .

"Wendy, make a cup of coffee for Director Françoise, you know Director Françoise's habits."

Paul led Françoise to the sofa in the reception area of ​​the office, and at the same time instructed his female secretary.

"I don't need coffee, I have other things to do later."

Françoise waved her hand in a rather casual manner.

"Okay." Paul nodded slightly in response, and then gave his female secretary a wink: "Wendy, you go out, remember to close the door."

"Yes."

Wendy nodded, and bowed slightly to Françoise again, and she quickly left Paul's office.

"Director Françoise, what is the purpose of your visit?"

When there were only two people left in the office, Paul asked Françoise directly, with a little respect in his words.

It may seem unbelievable to outsiders that the chairman should respect the directors, but in the board of directors of L'Oreal Group, this situation has been maintained for decades.

The chairman of Liushui, the iron-clad Bettencourt.

This sentence is the best description of the board of directors of L'Oreal Group, because no matter how the board of directors of L'Oreal Group changes, the director seats of the Betancourt family have never been lost. At the peak, there were even three directors on the board whose surnames were all Betancourt .

The Bettencourt family, which holds 30% of the shares of the L'Oreal Group, has a great say in the appointment and dismissal of the chairman. Plus, because if he doesn't get along well with the Betancourt family, no matter how capable he is, it will be difficult for him to survive in the L'Oreal Group.
