Shenhao starts from system downtime

Chapter 1445
Two days later, Arnott Manor.

On the terrace of the bungalow villa, Lin Qian held a cup of coffee, looking at the early morning when the morning dew had not yet dispersed, his eyes looked a little deep.

"A phone call woke you up just now, and you didn't continue to sleep."

"Did something happen?"

Audrey walked out of the glass door on the terrace. She took a coat in her hand and put it on Lin Qian, while asking Lin Qian softly.

"Half an hour ago, the L'Oreal Group announced that it would repurchase the shares issued by the L'Oreal Group from now on. The number of stock repurchases has not been announced yet, but it should not be very low."

Lin Qian raised his hand and took a sip of his coffee, then told Audrey the situation.

"Stock buybacks?"

"Why did the L'Oreal Group suddenly conduct a stock repurchase at this time!"

"Has our plan been exposed?"

Although Audrey is not interested in business matters, she has lived in such an environment since she was a child, and she has been influenced by her ears and eyes, such as stock repurchase, stock issuance, concerted action, mandatory tender offer and other business terms, which are usually used by her elders. If there are too many, she will naturally know what it means.

It was precisely because Audrey knew the meaning of the stock repurchase that she was a little surprised when she heard Lin Qian say that the L'Oreal Group decided to carry out a stock repurchase. This meant that Lin Qian wanted to continue to secretly raise money In vain, if he still wants to continue to buy the shares of L'Oreal Group, then he can only compete with L'Oreal Group for the next period of time.

Rushing to raise funds, as the name suggests, means that many people are scrambling to buy the same stock. This situation is very common in the stock market, and usually happens to high-quality companies that have just gone public. Besides, this is the current situation. Both parties want L’Oreal One of the group's stocks is used for acquisitions, and the other is used to consolidate its own position. However, the number of L'Oreal Group's stocks on the market is limited, so the two parties can only compete with each other.

The crux of the problem now is that once Lin Qian's side scrambles for funds, the L'Oreal Group will immediately notice that someone is secretly buying a large amount of L'Oreal Group's stock. It is completely impossible for Lin Qian to continue fishing in troubled waters.

The current Pétancourt family is in a state of turmoil and panic. If they find out that someone is secretly raising funds at this time, it will definitely arouse their vigilance, and thus increase the intensity of the L'Oreal Group's stock repurchase again.

The most important thing is that if Lin Qian's side is exposed, it may directly affect the negotiations between Bernard and Nestlé Group, thus affecting the continuous advancement of the entire plan.

L'Oreal Group's sudden decision to buy back shares at this time is definitely very bad news for Lin Qian.

"We have been extra cautious in the process of raising funds, but we did not expect to arouse Françoise's vigilance. This old woman is really sharp enough."

Lin Qian shook his head and sighed.

"What now?"

"How close are you to your 4% goal?"

The birds were chirping in the early morning, but Audrey didn't have any time to look at the scenery elegantly at the moment. She frowned slightly and asked Lin Qian in a low voice.

"After these days of fundraising, the equity of L'Oreal Group currently in our hands has increased by 3.28% compared to the initial period, and is 0.72% short of our goal."

Facing Audrey's inquiry, Lin Qian did not hide their progress and told Audrey the current situation.

"Then what are you going to do next?"

"Are you ready to scramble?"

Audrey was silent for a while, and then asked Lin Qian again.

"do nothing."

"Now all we have to do is wait."

"The success or failure of this acquisition will all depend on whether your grandfather can successfully win the Nestle Group side. As long as your grandfather wins the Nestle Group side, I can immediately follow the L'Oreal Group for public bidding. At that time The outcome has already been decided, even if Françoise and the others know that someone is competing with them, it will be too late."

Lin Qian turned around, first he tightened the coat on Audrey, and then she replied to Audrey.

"Don't worry, grandfather will definitely be able to take down the Nestle Group."

Feeling Lin Qian's concern, Audrey felt warm in her heart.

"Um……"

"I also have confidence in Chairman Bernard."

Lin Qian nodded slightly, with a slight smile on his face.

The two stood on the terrace and chatted for a while, then went back to the bungalow to have breakfast.

……

In order to entertain Lin Qian well and make Lin Qian feel at home, the Arnott family specially hired a famous chef from a top Chinese restaurant in Paris, France, to their home, so that Lin Qian can eat anytime, anywhere when he is not used to western food. You can eat authentic Chinese food.

In fact, after Lin Qian ate Western food for several days in a row, he began to miss Chinese food, so in the following period of time, Lin Qian and Audrey never ate Western food, and changed all three meals a day. Back to Chinese food.

Seeing the dazzling array of Cantonese-style refreshments in front of him, Lin Qian whetted his appetite. He picked up a shrimp dumpling and threw it directly into his mouth.

In an instant, the ultimate fresh fragrance exploded in Lin Qian's mouth.

The thin crystal dumpling skin, full of fresh shrimp and shrimp, accompanied by the extremely rich and delicious fragrance, made all of Lin Qian's taste buds jump with joy.

"good to eat!"

After eating a shrimp dumpling, Lin Qian's eyes lit up slightly, and then he didn't hold back his praise at all, and praised him again and again.

"Then you eat more."

Audrey showed a slight smile on her face, and as she spoke, she picked up two more shrimp dumplings for Lin Qian.

Just as Lin Qian and Audrey were having breakfast, the phone that Lin Qian had just placed beside him suddenly vibrated.

Lin Qian glanced at the caller ID, and when he saw that it was Anatole, he picked up his phone and answered the call.

"Good morning, brother."

The time difference between Paris and Moscow was only two hours. When it was morning on Lin Qian's side, it was also morning on Anatole's side, so Lin Qian greeted each other good morning without any problem at all.

"Brother, I have something to tell you!"

Anatoly's tone sounded a little excited, he didn't have too much politeness with Lin Qian, and said straight to the point.

"let me guess……"

"In the recent period of time, the things that can make my brother feel so excited, I think there should be nothing else that can make you so excited except for our revenge."

Lin Qian only thought about it for a while, and he guessed at all about Anatole's intention for making this call.

"That's right!"

"I'm calling you just to tell you, our brother..."

"The big revenge has to be avenged!"
