Chapter 1514 Borrowing a knife
These souvenirs and other things are all from duty-free shops in Lagardale, but they are imitated.
The two things Adele gave to Chen Chu and Bai Molu are actually not important in fact, they just represent the intentions of the Lagardale family. Of course, for the Lagardale family, if these two souvenirs are real, then it... is true, and it can't be real anymore.
However, for the small vendors in front of him, when they heard that Adele was from the Lagardele Group, their faces changed drastically. How could they not know that the Lagardele Group, the souvenir vendor in Paris, like to imitate the products of the Lagardele Duty Free Shop. Now that Li Gui meets Li Kui, how can he not let several vendors feel guilty?
However, today Adele didn't care about a few people. There were too many vendors who imitated the duty-free shop in Lagardele, and even formed an industrial chain. No matter how hard they were, they could not be beaten, because wealth was touching, and many people even rely on these to make a living, and it was impossible to cut them off.
So as long as you do not do too much and get too much, the Lagardele Group usually turns a blind eye, but some vendors are not authentic, such as those who buy souvenirs, and they brag about the authentic Lagardele duty-free shops, and threaten to find Lagardele duty-free shops if there is a problem, and then tourists actually go to Lagardele duty-free shops to return the goods. This happens countless times a year. Faced with this situation, Lagardele duty-free shops will naturally not show mercy.
After leaving the Louvre, with the recommendation of Adele, Chen Chu and everyone went to an authentic French-style restaurant. Compared to breakfast with butter, croissants and coffee, the dinner was slightly better.
While Chen Chu and the others were dining here, the entire F1 industry had already begun to surging undercurrents.
Bernie Extone’s biggest supporter, European CVC private equity fund, although the specific situation is unknown, the CVC private equity fund with great power still smells an unusual atmosphere.
"Bernie, sometimes it's not a bad thing to take a step back. You have done enough for F1. Now, no one can pursue your past. Everyone will only remember that it was you who led F1 to the current level!" CVC private equity president Mackenzie called Bernie.
Bernie Eckstone on the other end of the phone was silent for a while, then roared at Mackenzie like an angry lion, "You actually asked me to withdraw. Don't forget who asked CVC private equity funds to take over F1. I don't go anywhere. This is my place, and no one can drive me away!"
At the end, Bernie Extone also said to Mackenzie, "I can get CVC into F1 and I can get CVC out of F1 like Constantine Media Group. I am the one you need to support!"
Mackenzie hung up the phone helplessly. A few years ago, CVC private equity funds did use methods to join forces with Bernie Extone to drive away the former major shareholder Constantine Media Group, but the CVC private equity funds that took over F1 were not much better, and they were still sucked by Bernie. In addition, CVC private equity funds could not interfere in F1 management at all, and could only rely on Bernie Extone to manage it.
After breathing a sigh of relief, MacKenzie has received a lot of news in the past few days, especially after Chen Chu arrived, the entire European investment community and consortium were ready to move.
He just received the news that a few hours ago, people from Lagardale Sports Group came to Constantine Media Group. Mackenzie really didn't dare to draw a conclusion lightly. In fact, he tended to get rid of the hot potato of F1. In a few years, CVC has not made much money from F1. Instead, Bernie's wealth has continued to grow and the industry has become larger and larger.
Mackenzie shook her head helplessly. CVC private equity funds are now tied to Bernie. He just hopes that he is thinking too much, otherwise the entire CVC private equity funds will be implicated by Bernie because of this.
After Chen Chu came to France, he did not take any special actions. He neither hurriedly asked major banks to borrow money, nor did he say he targeted LVMH Group or something. It seemed that he was just coming to Europe for vacation.
Adele Lagardele acted as a tour guide. Chen Chu had visited famous European scenic spots in Paris for several consecutive days, but even so, media tabloids have begun to arrange the close relationship between Chen Chu and Adele, the most dazzling pearl in Europe, to attract attention.
There were countless tabloids who followed the trend for a time, and various sour reports emerged one after another. There were also a large number of media reporting on Chuke Technology and the Lagardeer Group if they joined forces, the top European consortiums might be born, and major media began to report from all angles.
A plane marked with the Lagardele LOGO landed at Berlin Airport. This is an aircraft affiliated to Lagardele Airways. It has to be said that Lagardele's hand is indeed long.
Even though Arnold Lagardere has been selling various industries in Lagardere for several consecutive years, the automobile industry has been sold short, aerospace, satellite and other industries, and has sold a lot, but there are still a large number of industries. This Paris air travel company is part of Lagardere's retail tourism industry. It really has a deep foundation. No matter how hard Arnold Lagardere goes, he can't lose all his family!
Today, Chen Chu arrived in Berlin, nominally trying to visit the scene of Berlin. However, after getting off the plane, Adele continued the tour with Bai Molu, while Chen Chu took a car directly toward the German First Sports TV Station.
Arnold Lagardale and Axel Dumas were all there. Arnold Lagardale handed a document to Chen Chu and said with a relaxed expression, "The situation is better than we thought. Constantine Media Group did not let go of the matter of being kicked out of F1 a few years ago!"
"Thank you two for your hard work!" Chen Chu said to Arnold and Axel. He was able to find Constantine Media Group so quickly and convince each other that these two local snakes made great contributions. They were invisible and intangible in contact with each other, but sometimes, they could indeed solve countless things.
"Chen, Bernie is probably going to receive a big gift soon." Axel laughed. He now knows why Wall Street, Silicon Valley, investment banks, and venture capital institutions like to hang out to Chen Chu. He really started a big move inadvertently.
Needless to say, the LVMH Group before made Axel excited every time I think about it. Now it is Ke F1's turn. Such a giant that was originally in the eyes of Axel Dumas is now going to be attacked directly, and right in front of him, he also participated in it personally. This feeling is really much more exciting than launching a new season clothing product from Hermes!
Chen Chu looked at the information in his hand and couldn't help but shake his head, "Bernie did it too much."
Everyone in the outside world knows that Bernie Extone has always been strict and stingy to F1's shareholders, fleets, and F1 sites, but to what extent, the outside world has never known.
The Constantine Media Group in Berlin was so angry that Bernie was so angry that he did it too hard. When he introduced VCV private equity funds to drive away the Constantine Media Group in Berlin, Bernie sold 47% of the equity of F1 holding company to CVC private equity funds for 830 million US dollars through various open and secret methods.
At that time, the price that Constantine Media Group called out exceeded 1.2 billion US dollars. Even if F1 was not valuable a few years ago, it was within reach of the reach of Constantine Media Group for one billion US dollars. As a result, it was sold by Bernie's bargain price, and the remaining cabbage price was still...
In this transaction, Constantine Media Group directly lost nearly 400 million US dollars, and perhaps even more, because after that, the golden age of global sports events began, the prices of major sports events rose rapidly, and even the prices of F1 teams soared rapidly, and even the two teams worth more than one billion US dollars were born, F1 Ferrari and F1 Mercedes.
Even the F1 team is worth more than one billion US dollars, and the total valuation of the entire F1 directly exceeded 5 billion US dollars. In this way, the Berlin Constantine Media Group was forced by Bernie to sell its shares in F1. It was no longer a bloody loss, it was simply a loss. The second year, the former president of Constantine Media Group got out of the Taiwan Strait because of this incident. There was no need to say what the relationship between the two sides had.
Constantine Media Group Berlin has made its debut in many sports TV stations, composed of many TV stations, satellite channels and cable networks such as Germany's No. 1 Sports TV Station, Berlin Sports TV Station, covering more than 40 million users. It is one of the top sports media groups in Europe. Because of its relationship with Bernie, the TV station under Constantine Media Group has not broadcasted F1 events for three consecutive years. Bernie is even more amazing, and any F1 team, advertising sponsor, partner, or any relationship with Constantine Media Group, will be kicked out of F1.
"Welcome to Constantine Media Group. You must be Chen. Europe is full of news for the past two days." As he spoke, the middle-aged man, who was somewhat bald, looked behind Chen Chu. When he saw no one else, he withdrew his gaze in a little disappointed manner. "I am Jahard Gribko, the current president of Constantine Media Group."
"Miss Adele, didn't you come together?" Gribko asked Chen Chu quite gossip. Regarding Adele Lagardele, who has been famous in Europe, Gribko naturally also paid attention to Adele and Chen Chu's gossip.
Hearing Gribco's words, a hint of pride appeared on Arnold Lagardale's face. Gribco's words showed how powerful Adele was in this film, but what disappointed Arnold Lagardale was that Chen Chu did not express much when he heard this.
Chen Chu followed Gribko to visit the headquarters of Constantine Media Group. As a veteran media group, Constantine Media Group's director equipment should be considered first-class, but compared with the complete set of latest broadcast equipment like Oriental Sports, it pales in comparison.
But Constantine Media Group does not rely on the top ultra-high-definition broadcast images, but on the user experience accumulated over the years, as well as the commentary team and corresponding mature sports programs. In this regard, Constantine Media Group is much stronger than Oriental Sports.
