Chapter 955: Do as the Romans do

Robert Larson, who was sprayed with blood, had not come back to his senses until Arnold Lagardale hung up the phone. He didn't know what was going on, which made Arnold Lagardale, who has always been known for his gentleness, become so angry. If it weren't for tens of thousands of kilometers, Arnold Lagardale would have been able to tear Robert Larson alive!

Arnold Lagardere, who was far away in Paris, had a more headache than Robert Larson. He did not expect that it was Robert Larson, a fool, who made a mess for him at a critical moment.

As the current head of the Lagardale Group, Arnold Lagardale is in charge of this behemoth with more than 40 countries, including mechanical manufacturing, aerospace, satellite and telecommunications, publishing, tourism, sports and entertainment media, with more than 45,000 employees. Last year's revenue exceeded 14 billion euros, Arnold Lagardale was not easy.

In particular, he is also the head of the Lagardale Consortium and the Lagardale family, the old Lagardale, who is the old Luke Lagardale of Arnold Lagardale. He came to the end of his life two years ago. Arnold Lagardale, the diamond fifth, naturally took over the Lagardale Group.

It is not easy to sit firmly in this position. Lagardele has to be eyed by shareholders and the board of directors, external investors have ulterior motives, and internal members of the Lagardele family do not fully support Arnold Lagardele. It can be said that Arnold Lagardele is sitting on the crater and collapses if you accidentally!

As for Robert Larson and others, it was also arranged by Luke Lagardale, the old Lagardale. Just like in China, Lagardale was afraid that once he left, Arnold Lagardale would not be able to firmly take up the position of president of Lagardale Group, so he made arrangements for the entire management and vigorously promoted a group of members of the Lagardale family to serve as important positions in the Lagardale Group.

These members of the Lagardale family may not have enough abilities, but they absolutely support Arnold Lagardale. There is no need to worry that Arnold Lagardale will be undermined. Under this premise, the abilities of Robert Larson and others do not need to be too high. As long as they have no intention, it is enough.

When he thought of Robert Larson, Arnold Lagardale was furious. That guy Robert Larson didn't know how big a leak he had caused!

After Arnold Lagardale took office, he vigorously promoted industrial transformation. He was not interested in the mechanical manufacturing system. Old Lagardale had saved up all his life's automobile business, but was directly emptied by Arnold Lagardale and turned to vigorously develop media business.

After retaining European publishing companies, satellite companies and aerospace companies, Arnold Lagardele focused on the media and entertainment business. Arnold Lagardele has successively acquired the remaining publishing companies in France, successfully occupying 82% of France's textbook market, 98% of the dictionary market, 60% of the French book publishing business, and owning 259 magazines, including TV stations, radio stations, etc.

These businesses basically consolidated Lagardale's basic foundation, which Luke Lagardale deliberately stayed, just to make some contributions to Arnold Lagardale's appointment.

But these are far from enough. What Arnold Lagardale is preparing for in the past two years is to develop the sports and entertainment industry. This is the key direction of the Arnold Lagardale era!

Lagardere Sports Group was established and the German sports marketing company sortfive was acquired. This company holds the overseas promotion rights of 12 football leagues including the International Olympic Committee, FIFA, UEFA, Premier League, and Serie A.

One of the major things Arnold Lagardale is to bring these industries, including swimming, F1 events, etc. to Asia, and the target partner is Oriental Sports!

Arnold Lagardele is preparing to promote sports business in Asia, and the partner of Oriental.com's newly established Oriental Sports is officially established. Compared with the business of North American Publishing Group, the amount involved in cooperation with Oriental Sports is more than US$700 million each year. If the cooperation of sports brands is added, it is even more!

Now Arnold Lagardale doesn't know what reaction will be made to Robert Larson and Chen Chu about Robert Larson's affairs today, as well as Chen Chu's affairs.

But Arnold Lagardale is sure that Robert Larson, that idiot, has definitely made a big fuss. Even if you think about it with your toes, you can still think that today Robert Larson made a big fuss in front of the media, especially his criticism of Chen Chu. Oriental Net and Oriental Sports, wouldn't hesitate to do some actions.

If possible, Arnold Lagardale wanted to swim in the Atlantic Ocean, and he wouldn't have to go to Yanjing to clean up the mess for him!

Not to mention Arnold Lagardale hated Robert Larson, nor to mention Robert Larson being closed-door and not to accept any interviews at all.

The publishing industry is extremely lively, and Robert Larson's words caused a lot of sensation in the industry. The news that Duke League directly asked the North American Lagardale Group to leave the North American Publishing Association even more exaggerated the news that the North American Publishing Association had internal conflicts.

What made the outside world even more curious was that in the following days, the North American Publishing Association and the Digital Copyright Association frequently met. It was reported that the two sides had reached many agreements, including both parties withdrawing the lawsuit at the same time, which was even more shocking.

The previous case of prosecution of 10 billion US dollars was a concern for the whole world. The subsequent price war between paper books and e-books was even more shady. Who knew that in the blink of an eye, both sides began to look around. Although they didn't know the agreement reached between the two sides, the entire publishing industry had begun to surging undercurrents.

Especially the rumors have made the publishing and book industries even more eye-catching, even the technology industry, because once it is confirmed that the Digital Copyright Association and the North American Publishing Association have really reconciled, the e-reader hardware industry will almost open its doors to the entire technology industry!

In this atmosphere, the first digital book conference held by the Digital Copyright Association was officially held in Yanjing. Although the preparation time was a bit hasty, there were only less than ten days before and after, but there were quite a few people who came to participate.

In the auditorium of a large hotel in Yanjing, the first Digital Book World Conference was held here. This auditorium that can accommodate nearly 1,000 people has held many conferences. It is also one of the hotels with the best facilities, best conditions and richest experience in Yanjing.

If the location on onyx technology was not really remote and difficult to arrange, the conference could be held directly at onyx technology.

Or if the SG Game Headquarters and Renren Technology Headquarters are built, they will be enough to accommodate this conference, and the conditions and equipment are far beyond here. Now we can only just put it in a moment.

The main members of the Digital Copyright Association came to the scene. Although there were no more than 700 members of the Digital Copyright Association and all arrived at the scene, two or three hundred representatives arrived at the scene.

In addition to the invitations, the North American Paper Publishing Association, domestic publishing companies, a large number of book creators at home and abroad, education departments, municipal personnel, various TV media and reporters, the auditorium of the entire hotel was crowded with no gap of space at all.

The digital book conference has not yet begun, and the reporters and media in the venue have already started to work hard. The most popular today should be the characters on the list of rich writers and tycoons present, including JK Rowling, Dan Brown, author of "Da Vinci Code", author of "Cute Bones", and some authors from home and abroad, all arrived at the scene.

What surprised the scene the most was that this time the organizer even invited the poet, the old lady Viswava Simposka, winner of the 1996 Nobel Prize in Literature.

In addition, José Saramago, the 1998 Nobel Prize winner in Literature, and the playwright Harold Pinte, the most popular dramatist in literature, were invited to the public.

These three people are all well-known figures in the world literary world. The works have the status of cousin's wife in the history of literature. No one knows them in advance. The Digital Book World Conference was able to invite the three of them over!

The reporters present, when they saw these people who came to the venue, wanted to go for an interview now, but now they could only watch, which made them feel itchy!

The authors who came to the scene were all well-known authors at home and abroad. In addition, the world's rich authors such as JK Rowling, Dan Brown, and Alice Sibbard were the ones who were on the list of rich writers, as well as Viswava Simposka, José Saramago, and Harold Pinte, who were in charge. The scene was quite harmonious for a while.

After all, the authors present are definitely not as good as Dan Brown. The book has been sold for more than 140 weeks in the New York Times bestseller, not to mention fame. Those three have either won the Nobel Prize or are likely to win the prize soon, so they are naturally harmonious!

When the digital book conference was about to begin, another group of people walked in. When they saw these people coming in, the reporters behind began to flash the spotlight again.

The leading figures were from Yanjing Municipal Government, and some people behind them, especially the two people standing together and talking in a low voice, caused the reporter to press the shutter frantically. The footage recorded by the media and the TV station also stayed on the two for several seconds!

The two people who were talking to the teeth were Chen Chu and Duke League, followed by David Gner, Reynold Regio and others. If it weren't for the current situation, these reporters would definitely rush forward to ask Chen Chu and Duke League, the two people who really in charge of the Digital Copyright Association and the North American Publishing Association, what agreement they had reached!

Following the customs of the countryside, the Digital Book World Conference was held in Yanjing. Naturally, the municipal leaders and education in Yanjing, and the three leaders of the Publishing Corporation took the lead in speaking. After all, today's conference should be regarded as an important domestic news broadcast.

About half an hour, I entered today's theme, and the invited domestic and foreign hosts announced the official start of the first Digital Book World Conference!
Chapter completed!
