Reborn fashion designer

Chapter 762 Little John is worried about his brother's hard life

Adam Lambert, one of the main creators of "Banana Song", and Deng Chao, who was filming in Paris, also received invitations from Universal Pictures.

When the two people came to Hollywood, they were very confused when they saw Liu Xixi, who was in great spirits.

People are happy when they are happy.

Just kidding, Liu Xixi "sold" her husband for 5 million euros with a stroke of the pen. Shouldn't she be a little proud?

If it happened to someone else, who knows how proud they would be.

Is she showing off?
No.

Instead, they acted very low-key as if this incident had never happened.

She didn't even reveal a single thing to Liu Xiaoli and her best friend Su Chang.

I didn’t tell my bestie because this equity transfer agreement comes with a confidentiality agreement, and it can only be announced to the public after the acquisition between Hermès and LVMH Group is completed.

The reason for not telling my mother is even simpler.

It's kind of funny even when you say it out loud.

She felt that if she told Liu Xiaoli, her position in the family would be in jeopardy.

Originally, as the mother-in-law, Liu Xiaoli now likes her son-in-law Xiangyang very much, and she would not help Xiangyang to be nice.

just in case
Even her mother agreed that she should have a second child as soon as possible, so wouldn't that make her even more isolated and helpless?

Ok.

In this regard, although Lao Xiang and Lao Zhao always stand on her side between the young couple.

But it depends on what the matter is.

I guess if they talk about the topic of having a second child, the old couple will laugh so hard that they can’t stop.

so.
"Brother Chao, Adam~" Liu Xixi's voice sounded soft when she greeted him.

"Charming Liu, you look beautiful again~" As for Adam Lambert's personal orientation, those who understand him will understand, and his slightly exaggerated compliment does not seem strange.

While kissing, he asked, "How about it? How many days do you want to stay here? I'm going to take you around~"

"I'm leaving tomorrow." Liu Qianqian pursed her lips.

"Ah, how come you are as busy as Deng?" Adam Lambert looked regretful. He also planned to thank Liu Xixi with a warm hospitality.

After all, he is the biggest beneficiary of "Banana Song".

Now, many people on the Internet across North America are applauding and marveling at his impromptu creation. Commercial performances, TV talk show notices and the enthusiasm of advertisers have made his agent overwhelmed.

There’s more good news.

Pre-sales for tickets for the global tour, which has not yet ended, are extremely hot.

Many people want to experience the charm of "Banana Song" live.

He had just invited Deng Chao as a guest to support him. If he could also bring Liu Qianqian along, then their "trio" would be complete.

But it seems that this difficulty is extremely high.

This made him feel very sorry. “I wish I could hold a concert in Beijing or Shanghai.”

"That day will come." Liu Qianqian said comfortingly with a smile on her face, and quickly greeted Deng Chao who was waiting on the side.

Compared to Adam Lambert, it was much easier for her and Deng Chao to greet this old acquaintance.

"Brother Chao, how was your rest? Is there any gift you want me to pass on to Sister Li? I'll bring it back for you~"

Liu Qianqian proudly stated that private jets do not charge overweight fees.

Moreover, she is the courier herself, so it is sure that the package won’t get lost.

"Yes! Of course!" Deng Chao said with a laugh. He brought a whole suitcase from Paris just waiting for this sentence.

Everything in the box was purchased according to the list given by Liu Qianqian.

"Hey, then you have to fill out the form first."

After Liu Qianqian finished joking, Deng Chao asked tentatively, "Where is Mr. Xiang?"

"He~"

Liu Qianqian raised the corner of her mouth.

I guess I can’t get out of bed yet.

But this is really unfair to Xiangyang who has been maintaining a fitness habit recently.

Although he doesn't have impressive eight-pack abs, his physical strength is nothing to brag about.

After Liu Qianqian woke up, packed up and left the room, he was dazed for a while, then after receiving a call from Little John, he got up, washed, changed his clothes and prepared to leave.

Liu Qianqian has her social engagements.

Xiangyang also has his own.

After meeting with John Jr. and Axel, just after drinking a cup of coffee, Bea Schaeffer, wearing a small suit and with her hair tied up, came over with a smile on her face.

"Boss, the car is ready."

The three people sitting on the chairs looked at each other and stood up tacitly.

After finally making the trip to Hollywood, I had to visit the headquarters of CC Pictures, a subsidiary of Hermès.

Thanks to the booming development of Hermès Film Investment Company.

The CC collection has changed its entrance and has also had obvious changes in its name.

Not only has the name been changed, but CC Pictures' business layout has also changed.

For example, the adaptation and subsequent filming of "House of Cards", a collaboration between Hermès Film Investment and David Fincher, are all handled by this independently operated Hermès company in Hollywood.

This is equivalent to increasing the power in Little John's hands in disguise.

With an investment of 4000 million US dollars, it won consecutive championships, and its second-week drop in the North American market was only 30%, which maximized the potential of the entire film in the global market.

The global box office totaled 2 million US dollars, and it not only won word of mouth and audience evaluation.

Even fans have already started to speak highly of his performance at the upcoming Oscars.

no way.

Compared to biographical films like "The King's Speech", the stories surrounding Zuckerberg and Facebook are obviously more popular among young moviegoers.

The Rotten Tomatoes rating was as high as 96%. And with the first game of the acquisition of Liverpool, the box was filled with members of the "Bey Gang".

The authenticity of the film was also endorsed, which slightly improved its box office performance.
"Haha, Xiang, I finally know why you have a hard time at home." Little John gloated when talking about this on the way.

"Black Swan" is also preparing for the Oscars.

Xiang Yang supported the movie in which his wife participated, while also indirectly endorsing "The Social Network".

What is this called?
Weeds!
What good end can a fence-sitter have?

"How do you know I'm having a hard time?" Xiangyang's eyes hid a smile.

If it weren't for the confidentiality agreement, he really wanted to throw the agreement in Little John's face and make him open his eyes to see who he was working for!
To say that Little John was working for Xiangyang was not just his imagination.

But it's real.

As an official member of H51, he naturally obtained more information about the group's future development strategies from Axel.

According to the remarks clause of the transfer agreement.

H51 held by Xiangyang cannot be traded for a long time to come.

This may seem like a loss, but it is not.

In fact, this rule not only applies to him personally, but also to other shareholders of H51 members, who are not allowed to sell any shares in the next 20 years.

Correspondingly, in order to take into account the living issues of company members, the company's dividend policy also has some impact.

For example, thanks to the good cash flow brought by the surge in global sales of HYS and Hermès this year, the company has sufficient cash reserves for strategic investment next year.

In addition to the original dividend of 2010 euros per share for the 2 fiscal year, an additional special dividend of 5 euros per share will be paid to compensate shareholders for the losses caused by the inability to trade during the suspension.

The 3% shares obtained by Xiangyang will of course be included in the dividend list.

3%, accounting for about 300 million shares of Hermès stock, and a dividend of 7 euros per share is equivalent to
Xiang Yang, who did some careful calculations with a calculator yesterday, said that it was exactly the valuation of his Uber shares, no more, no less.

That is between 2100 million euros and 2300 million euros.

How much is Little John's year-end bonus?

Sprinkle some water~
This huge amount of income will greatly improve Xiangyang's lack of cash flow, and he will finally no longer have to count his fingers to make ends meet.

Xiangyang was of course happy about this.

Although such good days may only come once every few years, it is a great gain if you catch them.

Xiang Yang, who had secretly bought some Hermès shares in the past, knew very well how stingy this luxury goods group was when it came to dividends.

Every year, 1.5 euros per share is worth gloating about.

And the next time when you can get 7 euros per share, who knows when it will be.

What he didn't know was that the special dividend of 5 euros per share was supposed to have occurred in Hermès' 38 fiscal year when total sales exceeded US$2012 billion.

As for how to spend the money, Xiangyang has not yet discussed it with Liu Qianqian.

The main thing is that Liu Qianqian was amazed and then said, "It's up to you."

Do you think we can do it?
What?

The house is available.

The car can't fit in the house.

After paying off the loan that was mortgaged with Tesla shares in order to obtain INS shares, there is still 1700-1800 million euros left.

Half a month ago, Xiangyang would have spent this money without even blinking an eye.

But now, it’s really a headache.

WhatsApp is not short of money

Uber just completed its financing.

DJ has not yet digested the previous round of financing.

The investments in Station A and Station B are all corporate actions and have nothing to do with him.

Xiangyang, who had no idea at all, couldn't come up with any idea even after thinking about it carefully. No wonder Liu Qianqian stayed away from this matter.

It seems that more "communication" is needed to reach a "consensus".
"Boss, I have a gift for you." While Xiangyang was still teasing Little John with her eyes, Bi Shaffer quietly took out a small box from her handbag.

Little John didn't know.

As Anna Wintour's daughter and Xiang Yang's assistant, she knows everything.

The key point is that she was responsible for receiving all the lawyers yesterday.

How could he deliberately hide the fact that Xiangyang became a shareholder of Hermès H51 from little John and just stand aside and watch the fun?
"I thought it was some kind of nice pen." Little John grinned in disdain when he saw that there was only a pair of new Montblanc signing pens in the box.

He has plenty of these things at home, and he would be embarrassed to give them away as gifts.

"Thank you." Xiangyang's eyes lit up. It was really thoughtful of Bi Shaffer to give her a pair of pens.

What a great implication and auspiciousness this has.

Well, I'll discuss with my wife tonight and give Bi Shaffer a bonus.

Just follow.
After glancing at little John, Xiangyang had an idea in mind.

Just compare it to what John Jr. received at Hermès, which was only $150 million.

"Just do what you like." Bi Shaffer raised her head defiantly towards Little John. What do you know?
From now on, when Xiangyang and Liu Qianqian sign contracts that could shock the fashion circle or other industries, and they use the pens I gave them, you can only watch helplessly.

Little John, not understanding what was going on, also raised his head in a defiant manner.

As if to say: You little assistant, you only know how to flatter your boss, but you can't even hit the point. When I'm done, I'll go shopping with Liu, and she'll pay for everything.
Anyway, Xiangyang's money is all in Liu Qianqian's pocket.

Xiangyang was already used to the silent bickering between the two.

After stuffing the box directly into the lining pocket of his suit, he pulled Axel, who was standing beside him in a daze, towards the special car outside the hotel entrance.

"Sorry, I made you laugh."

"No." Axel shook his head. "They are both quite interesting."

Xiangyang let out a sigh and said this.

interesting?

How about you try bringing them both with you?
I guarantee you won't have to do anything else for the day.
