money trouble

Chapter 413 Aubert de Vellain's Distress

Wu Qian is very confident in this acquisition, and he is bound to take it down.

Deliberately sending money to the islanders?

No, absolutely not.

Barbara didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Wu Qian's gourd. She felt that this was what Takashimaya wanted, and she was too aggrieved, but she was still just a representative and could only do what Wu Qian said.

She believes that Wu Qian is not the kind of guy who is stupid enough to give money to others, and he must have his own intentions.

After Barbara and Wu Qian finished talking on the phone, they immediately continued to negotiate with Takashimaya. They first paid back the price in a symbolic sense, and then agreed to the other party's price.

The senior management of Takashimaya in charge of this case was extremely astonished. The impossible price was actually sold. This is simply great news. Shareholders will be very happy to know the news.

As long as the price is negotiated, the rest will not take much time.

The negotiation was over, and the final price was fixed at 500 million pounds. Wu Qian transferred the money in full, and Barbara faxed all the procedures to Wu Qian's hotel, some of which required him to review and sign in person.

After everything was done, the shares of Kande Winery fell into the name of Wu Qian's British investment company.

There was another episode during this period. After Wu Qian transferred the money to Takashimaya's account, Mo and Chase Bank made a special phone call.

It means that they have noticed that Wu Qian has invested in a lot of industries during this period of time, and they don't know if they need professional people to take care of them.

Mogen Chase said that the people they provide are very capable, with full marks in terms of professionalism and loyalty, so you can rest assured, and all these services are paid for by the bank, and Wu Qian does not need to pay half a cent of salary.

Wu Qian didn't expect Mohe Datong to be so careful and caring for big customers in every possible way, but he still politely declined the other party's kindness.

He is very relieved that Fimiller is helping to manage the property in London, and at the same time he will take care of it himself. As for the Kande Winery, he has his own arrangements.

In the village of Vaughan Romani in Burgundy, in the middle of the Prussian-style "Lost Time" street, there is a church left over from the Middle Ages. Next to the church is a large manor, which is where the headquarters of Romanee-Conti is now.

Who would have thought that such a peaceful countryside is the headquarters of the world-famous Romanée-Conti winery, where time seems to slow down.

In the past, there were quite a few tourists who came here for pilgrimage, and it was impossible to enter the Vaughan Romani Village without an appointment. They could only look at the land producing expensive wines from a distance.

Today, it is late September, which is the most important time of the year for the winery. Not only the Romanee-Conti winery, but many famous wineries in the Côte de Nuits have closed their doors to welcome guests. The entire Vaughan Roman Ni village, no tourists.

At the same time when Takashimaya sold the shares of Chateau Conti, in a rustic office at the headquarters of Chateau Conti, Albert de Vilain was sitting in a light gray overalls with dirt on his cuffs. Frowning behind the desk.

If it wasn't someone who knew Château Conti very well, who would have thought that such a slovenly old man was Albert de Vilain, who was worth hundreds of millions of euros and owned half of the Chateau Romanée-Conti.

The old man has been diligent and diligent all his life, and has been dedicating himself to the winery and the land of Burgundy. He has earned a lot of money, but he has never enjoyed or slack off for a day, from grape planting to picking, and then wine making. He strictly controls every link.

In recent years, in order to apply the Burgundy grape-producing region to the United Nations for intangible cultural heritage, Aubert de Vilain has been very busy.

Waking up in the morning, Aubert felt the sunshine, and he was in a good mood, because this kind of weather is most suitable for the ripening of grapes.

Just when Oberth was about to go to the vineyard to see the ripening of the grapes, he received news that a company had proposed to Takashimaya to acquire the shares of Chateau Conti.

When he heard the news of the acquisition at the beginning, Aubert didn't pay much attention to it. He still walked towards the vineyard with strong steps, with a happy smile on his face, and only the lovely grapes hanging on the vine in his eyes.

Acquisitions like this happen every year, and in the end it basically ends with the sponsor of the acquisition failing, which is no surprise.

Unexpectedly, the situation this time was obviously different. The speed of the development of the matter was beyond the expectation of everyone in Kande Winery. Just halfway through the morning, the transaction was completed, which is simply shocking!
If he hadn't known the temperament of the people in Takashimaya Co., Ltd., Oberth would have doubted whether this was a play directed and acted by the islanders, although he didn't know the significance of such a play.

In the past ten years, he has repeatedly proposed to Takashimaya to buy back shares, but Takashimaya has no idea why it is considered, and has always been unwilling to let him buy it.

Now that the shares of the winery have changed hands, Aubert is very worried, not knowing whose hands the important share will fall into, and what impact it will have on the winery.

"Whiteen, have you found out about the company that proposed to Takashimaya Co., Ltd."

asked Oberth's worried opponent, a middle-aged man in a suit next to him.

This year is a good year. The climate is very stable. When there is high temperature, there is high temperature. When it is rainy, there is rainfall, and the amount of rainfall is also very appropriate. Under this climate, the quality of the grapes is very high.

But all the good things can't resolve the uneasiness in Albert's heart.

Whiten is a senior executive of the winery. He is about forty years old. He wears a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and is slightly fat.

"Mr. Weilan, it has been investigated clearly that the acquirer is a British investment company..." Whiten raised his eyes and looked at the computer screen.

Oberth frowned slightly, sighed, and said, "Okay, it's better than letting the islanders hold the shares. The distribution channel that Takashimaya has controlled for these years is really terrible, and now we can finally get rid of it!"

In Albert de Vellain's view, the British held shares better than the islanders.

The islanders are mercenary and have no taste. They don't respect the customs and traditions. As long as they make money, they can have no bottom line. They bow their knees in front of others, but secretly stab their knives in the back. It's extremely hateful!
Looking back on the journey of these 30 years, Oberth admired himself. It was not easy to get along with the islanders for so many years.

"No, that's not right, Mr. Weilan, wait a minute." Whiten continued to flip through the materials, and suddenly said.

"Although this 'Source of Happiness Investment Company' is a company registered in London, but... but the legal person is...a young man from China!? Oh, my God!"

Whiten let out a sigh
