Abandoned the Immortal Cultivator, returned to his hometown to farm and sing

Chapter 1301. Malice
Negotiations after drinking.

The two argued even more fiercely.

Because today we're going to talk about the division of power.

The previously agreed-upon boutiques are merely secondary channels.

There are also primary channels, such as specialty stores and brand stores in shopping malls.

The framework between Luo Yihang and Arnold includes an agreement within the alliance to share channels and markets, and to coordinate production and sales.

However, there are specific guidelines for how to share resources.

At present, LVMH Group is clearly stronger and has a stronger reputation.

The emerging Eastern brands that the Sunset Alliance plans to absorb, including Zuike, will rely on the endorsement of brands under the LVMH Group even when going overseas.

Don't you have to pay something in return?

Ke Shaotong looked to the future, while Delphine focused on the present. The two ladies were unwilling to give an inch, and after arguing all day, they still couldn't reach a conclusion.

In the end, Luo Yihang and Arnault had another talk.

The key areas have been defined.

East Asia, the Middle East, and Southeast Asia belong to Zuike and Oriental brands, while Europe and America belong to the LVMH Group.

This division only indicates the scope of focus; both markets are open to entry, but the emphasis is different.

However, they can come to any business that doesn't involve either side, which is perfect for helping outsiders.

For example, in Liulichang, I've been eyeing those chess pieces worth over 200,000 yuan and those broken beads worth a hundred or so yuan for a long time.

LVMH Group doesn't own any brands that make glass and crystal products; that's something Hermès prefers to do...

Incidentally, they also reached an agreement to include the alliance members' products in the scenario-based ecosystem pavilion initiated by Jacques, with a unified theme and a shared story...
-

The negotiations between the Sunset Alliance will go on for a very long time.

It's been several days already, and it's still only in the initial stages. The key questions are: what criteria will the alliance use to accept new members, what is the member exit mechanism, and what are the responsibilities, rights, and obligations?

Furthermore, how should the rules for the luxury goods industry, led by the Sunset Alliance, be formulated, and what standards should be implemented?

How to coordinate production and promotion, and how to achieve orderly competition.

And how to fight with outsiders.

They haven't even started talking yet.

The two leading representatives, Delphine and Ke Shaotong, got along better and better the more they talked, but the more they argued, and they were either fighting or on their way to fight every day.

The others, however, couldn't handle it.

Although Arnault was still keeping an eye on things, his second son, Alexander, had already left for Geneva.

His eldest son is stationed at headquarters, so only the second son can go out to help.

The committee members have also changed, and several new senior business executives have joined.

There's also Federico, the Asia-Pacific president who is familiar with the East.

That Italian from Corsica, a "warm-hearted" man who loves fine wine, good food, and telling Roman jokes.

It can be said that a gathering of wise men and women was present.

Federico's arrival really did have a big impact.

During negotiations, whenever there was an awkward silence, he would crack a Roman joke, leaving everyone speechless and rolling their eyes, which would also ease the atmosphere considerably.

They argued again after things calmed down.

And there was another person, Arnaud's third son, Fred.

He couldn't stand it after only two days of negotiations.

She calls Luo Yihang every day.

We're meeting for dinner today, and sightseeing tomorrow.

He's like a little fanboy.

Given his criminal record, this guy has also had boyfriends.

Luo Yihang really disliked him and always made excuses.

But this kid really has a persistent spirit.

Once, again and again, even four, five, six, or seven times.

Luo Yihang felt too embarrassed to refuse.

I just chatted with him for a few minutes over the phone.

But after talking to them, they realized something was wrong.

The kid's words revealed a particular interest in Ping'an Ditch and Luo Yihang's farm.

I'd also like to pay a visit, and ideally have the opportunity to tour the place...

something wrong.

But as soon as Luo Yihang became suspicious, the kid immediately changed his story.

They actually pointed out that Luo Yihang suspected him.

But please don't suspect him of having ulterior motives, Luo Yihang. What he's really interested in are Luo Yihang's two horses.

The Sun King and the Flame Queen.

The two most beautiful Akhal-Teke horses in legend. He fell in love with them the moment he saw the photos, and after much searching, he found out that the two horses were with Luo Yihang.

I pray that he can see it, so that I can die without regrets.

Jacques once said that this kid was a spoiled brat who did all sorts of things.

Racing, tennis, golf, male and female celebrities, and of course, horse racing.

It's perfectly normal for someone to be eager to hunt horses knowing that Luo Yihang has them.

But is what he said true?

Luo Yihang decided to probe his background.
-

It's definitely not an option to come to Ping'an Gou to see horses.

So Luo Yihang invited Fred, along with the Sun King and the Flame Queen, to a racecourse.

Tianhan's best racecourse, nestled against the mountains and beside the water, boasts beautiful scenery.

Fred came at the invitation.

I absolutely loved the two horses when I saw them.

He spoke fluently and professionally about everything from coat color, physique, and spirit to riding, horse handling, and temperament.

During our casual conversation, I learned that this young man had been attending equestrian clubs since he was a child. He received an aristocratic education, and equestrian skills were an essential part of his education.

After riding a horse and running around the riding arena a few times.

The kid seemed to be doing it intentionally, yet also unintentionally, and his eyes were fixed on the distant mountains again.

He then invited Luo Yihang to go mountain climbing, claiming to be a mountain climbing enthusiast and amateur mountaineer who had conquered the Pyrenees and the Alps.

They were equally eloquent and knowledgeable when they talked about it.

It just so happens that Luo Yihang also enjoys mountain climbing.

The two of them really had a lot to talk about.

Luo Yihang readily agreed to the invitation to climb the mountain, and as Fred requested, he chose a remote, undeveloped, and precipitous mountain.

Fred said the more dangerous and exciting the mountain, the better.

We'll see what this kid is up to.

His malice, however, did not dissipate at all...
-

The next day.

Luo Yihang got ready and drove to the hotel to pick up Fred.

This kid looks pretty professional.

The trekking poles, hiking boots, helmets, water bottles, cooking utensils, safety ropes, and first-aid kits are all provided, and they are all from professional brands, not just generic luxury goods made by the company itself.

He also had a bodyguard with him, who was equipped with the same gear.

But something strange happened.

Judging from his aura, Fred was full of malice, and this bodyguard was also full of malice. What did it have to do with him?
Once in the car, Fred continued his usual spiel, praising cars as well as racing and off-road vehicles, speaking eloquently and with the air of a spoiled brat.

They chatted all the way, so it wasn't boring. Luo Yihang drove, casually talking to Fred Har, until they arrived at the foot of a mountain...

There are many mountains in the Tianhan area.

There are all kinds of mountains.

At Fred's request.

The mountain that Luo Yihang found was a remote, rugged, and beautiful place.

Since it's a remote and rarely visited place, it must be difficult to climb.

There is a narrow path at the foot of the mountain, worn down by hikers.

Once you've climbed about a third of the way up, there's no path left. If you want to go further, you have to carve your way through the forest.

Cutting vines, pulling branches, and sometimes having to use all four feet.

Fred didn't complain of being tired.

They were shouting and yelling, full of enthusiasm, just like someone who loves mountain climbing.

His bodyguard remained silent the entire way, barely noticeable, and strictly adhered to his duties, which was quite professional.
-

The more remote and untouched the mountain, the more unique the scenery you'll find.

Halfway up the mountain, a broad-leaved forest appeared, and the view suddenly opened up before us.

The mountain wall looked as if it had been cleaved open by an axe, revealing a straight cliff.

It goes straight down for at least 100 meters.

Looking down from the edge of the cliff is eerie and terrifying, like the depths of hell.

“Locally, we call cliffs like this ‘Mother’s Cliff’ because if you look down at it, you have to call out ‘Mom’…”

Seeing Fred curiously run to the edge of the cliff and peer down, Luo Yihang also went over and told him some interesting local stories.

As they were talking, Luo Yihang felt a gust of evil wind rise behind him.

Heading straight for his lower back...
