We are all reborn, who wants to be the richest man?

The dinner was arranged at a Paris Michelin three-star restaurant by the Seine River. This was not chosen by Luo Nian, but by Arnault who booked the entire restaurant through his connections.

The big boss Luo Nianzhong came to Paris, and Arnault had to make arrangements to report on his work.

When Luo Nianzhong's Rolls-Royce arrived, Arnault was already waiting in advance.

Arnault was not surprised at all that Luo Nianzhong brought two beauties from China and the West.

What country is this? Hundreds of years ago, they were famous all over the world as lovers, and most of the people who were passionate about it were nobles.

As for how chaotic the old law was in the 18th century, I recommend you to search it out and it will definitely subvert your understanding.

If you're in Paris, don't be surprised to see couples kissing on the streets.

This is because they have imposed layers of shackles through various laws, otherwise it would not be surprising for reality shows to take place.

Luo Nianzhong did not let Matsuzaka Keiko and Sarah sit at their table. After all, Sarah was a direct descendant of the Spencer family, and it was better not to know some things.

After the waiter sat down with the etiquette of pulling up a chair, the kitchen began to serve the meal.

To be honest, I didn’t like the French food Luo Nianzhong, which had only a small portion per portion, not because of the taste but because I wasn’t full.

I don't know if it has something to do with his health, but Luo Nianzhong is a big eater when it comes to diet, basically eating two to three times the amount of an ordinary person.

However, this kind of food is not as big as Tom's. For example, today's appetizer is salmon. I saw three pieces of salmon pierced by Tom's fork, and he swallowed it without even seeing him chewing it. At this time, the service staff did not have time to serve him. The other three people at the table set their meals.

Seeing the dumbfounded look on the waiter's face, Luo Nianzhong smiled and called him over with a snap of his fingers.

Facing the somewhat incredulous waiter, Luo Nianzhong asked, "What is today's main course?"

"Sir, today's main course is foie gras and black truffle steak."

"Please give that table a few more steaks, and I'll add one here too. Thank you."

In fact, in French cuisine, you are not allowed to ask for additional dishes. This will be regarded as an insult to the chef.

However, such regulations obviously do not target people like Luo Nianzhong.

This is not the royal chef of the French royal family in the past. Since he chose money, he can only be a slave to money.

For ordinary people, there is no etiquette or impoliteness, but here in Luo Nianzhong, it is free and easy and informal.

Otherwise, when you succeed, your farts will smell good. In other words, you have to pay more.

Seeing the waiter nodding and leaving, Luo Nianzhong looked at Arnault opposite and said, "Bernard, you have done well in the past few years. I was right to choose you."

Luo Nianzhong didn't say this just because Arnault was in front of him, but he deserved such praise.

LV, Givenchy, Moët & Chandon, and Hennessy were all acquired by him in advance.

Now it is preparing to enter the watch industry, and its first targets are Vacheron Constantin and Jaeger-LeCoultre.

Throughout the 70s and 80s, the Swiss watch industry was in turmoil.

The export volume of watches dropped more than half, from 8200 million yuan to 3000 million yuan. Nearly half of the watch companies went bankrupt, and those who survived were struggling to make progress.

The culprit of all this is the island country Seiko Watch. They introduced electronics and chip technology into the watch industry, which had a huge impact on Swiss watches.

YDD's first target choice is Vacheron Constantin and Jaeger-LeCoultre. The founding family of Jaeger-LeCoultre is now experiencing financial difficulties, and Vacheron Constantin happens to be in the hands of the founding family of Jaeger-LeCoultre.

You can win two high-end brands at once, how could you miss YDD.

"I don't dare to take credit. YDD can develop like this today thanks to your guidance. I really didn't expect that the market in Asia, especially island countries and Hong Kong Island, is so big.

It is precisely because of the profits from these places that YDD can expand like this."

To be honest, Arnault is very grateful to Luo Nianzhong. It was Luo Nianzhong's original guidance that allowed the market value of the 10% of his original investment to increase several times.

He felt that if Luo Nianzhong kicked him away from YDD, he would succeed, but he gave himself a chance.

Luo Nianzhong waved his hand carelessly, not caring at all about what Arnaud said, "Don't mention the past anymore, no one can take away your credit.

I still say what I said before, I feel relieved that YDD is in your hands.

However, there may be some changes in YDD in the future, so you should pay attention to it."

Arnault frowned, wondering if Luo Nianzhong planned to interfere in more YDD matters? Were the words you said before just to appease yourself? If that's the case, that's really not a good thing.

When Luo Nianzhong saw his expression, he knew that he was overthinking it and dismissed his worries.

"I sold part of YDD's equity, so other forces may join in the future, so you have to be prepared."

Arno's expression became much more relaxed when he heard that Luo Nianzhong didn't mean what he thought, but he quickly asked, "What's the specifics?"

"No more than 15%, British people."

These two pieces of information were enough. Arnaud understood what was going on.

Seeing that Arnault didn't care about this, Luo Nianzhong continued to smile and said, "They don't know the specific shares in my hand. I don't know whether they will join forces to force you to marry me."

"Then they will just shoot themselves in the foot."

Arnault teased mockingly, not taking his possible future opponents seriously at all.

Arnault knew the specific situation of Luo Nianzhong. Even though YDD had added a lot of shareholders in the past two years, Arnault guessed that Luo Nianzhong was doing capital operations in order to hide his wealth. This was very common in the upper class society.

In addition, Luo Nianzhong took the initiative to bring this matter up today, which made Arnault even more certain of this.

So as long as Luo Nianzhong is on his side, he is already invincible.

Indeed, as he guessed, sinking wealth is what the Luo family office has always done, especially as time goes by and major companies will go public one after another, so this situation will become more frequent.

Through a series of complex operations, the apparent shareholding ratio of Far East Group and Luo Family in major companies was finally maintained between 15% and 25%, and some companies were even less.

It doesn't matter if the people at the top of the pyramid can see it. Everyone is standing on the same level and doing the same thing. At worst, you will look at me and I will look at you.

But starting from the second level, if you want to know the secrets of the top level, you have to work hard to climb to that level and become one of them.

After all, people hate the rich, so for the sake of balance, they still have to be passable on the outside.

"Do you know about blood leeches?"

Seeing Arno shaking his head with a confused look, Luo Nianzhong continued, "This is a species that lives by sucking the blood and body fluids of humans and animals. It has certain medical functions and can also cause harm to people, but it is very fragile." It’s up to anyone to decide.”

Arnault understood. Although Luo Nianzhong didn't say it clearly, he already understood what the other party meant.

That is to use the forces that are about to enter to develop YDD without letting them control the power, so that if there is harm, they can clean up the opponent as soon as possible.

This is what Luo Nianzhong is telling Arnault, no matter how many new shareholders come in, you are still the head of YDD. This company must be in the hands of the two of them, even if they lose the controlling stake in the future.

Through his performance in the past few years, Luo Nianzhong is very optimistic about Arnault. Only the intertwined interests can ensure that the towering tree of the Luo family will remain standing in the future.

Arnault is the French spokesperson chosen by Luo Nianzhong.

"You can be bolder in your plan. I think the time is ripe, but don't be blindly confident.

YDD Group's current profits are very good, and its debt ratio is not high. Since it will need to be integrated in the future, why not take advantage of it now? "

Luo Nianzhong opened the cage for Arnault and staged a scene where a tiger came out of its body.

Arnault had long ago proposed merging other brands through massive borrowing during this economic downturn, but these suggestions were suppressed by Luo Nianzhong.

Although Luo Nianzhong is optimistic about the market of luxury goods in Southeast Asia and other places, after all, it has not been verified by history and is based on his own judgment, so he is cautious.

Western luxury goods began their aggressive attack on Asia after the Plaza Treaty. At this point in time, no one can say whether there will be acclimatization, even if the chance of such a thing is slim.

The main reason is the global economic downturn, and large amounts of debt will add a lot of burden to YDD.

He doesn't mind increasing capital, but this is unhealthy for a retail company.

Things are different now. The global economy will be almost completely out of control in about two years. Now this time is just right to make a time difference. On the other hand, it is also to seize the market.

Sure enough, Arnault's eyes lit up, "I have wanted to do this for a long time. You must know that many wineries and high-end brands in France are in urgent need of funds. This is an opportunity for us."

Luo Nianzhong didn't want to worry about how Arnault operated. This time he just gave him a vaccination, told him about the upcoming changes in YDD, and also comforted him to express his attitude.
