Huayu 2015, the Artist of Light and Shadow

Chapter 80: Acquiring a Top Luxury Brand! Becoming the Godfather of Chinese Entertainment Fashion! Bringing Glory to My Ancestors!

The weather in Milan is lovely today.

The sky was clear and blue.

But for Wang Ran, her mood was exceptionally gloomy.

The room Lu Yunzhou prepared for her was very cozy, with a soft velvet quilt and a comfortable mattress that felt like sleeping on a cloud.

It's more than 100 times better than the accommodations at her school.

Normally, she should fall asleep as soon as she touches the bed and enjoy a deep sleep.

But tonight, she really can't sleep.

She would occasionally take out her phone to check the chat history in the group—those little bitches were going too far with their conversation.

Just then, Tian Xiwei posted a few photos.

"Sisters, this is Italy, this is Milan—look at that corner ahead, that's the Milan Cathedral, where Leonardo da Vinci's painting 'The Last Supper' is kept."

"After I finish lunch, I'll go downstairs for a walk."

"How did I come to Italy? My brother brought me here—"

These words caused an uproar among the girls in the group.

"Empress Tian has ascended the throne!"

"Empress Tian, ​​please post more photos of my brother!"

"Empress Tian, ​​are you secretly dating your brother? Tell us quickly! We're definitely not jealous of you! Anyway, I've remembered everything you just said—the sisters must have a taste, don't keep your brother all to yourself."

"Empress Tian, ​​tell us secretly, did your brother make you feel good? Don't be shy. We're all women, we know what you're thinking."

There was a time when, every time Wang Churan posted something online, the girls in the group would fawn over her like a star, teasing and joking around her.

Now, all these benefits have become Tian Xiwei's.

Without a doubt, Tian Xiwei must be incredibly happy right now!

Because Wang Churan had experienced that same pleasure before.

"Don't make suggestive jokes all the time, I'm afraid the group will get banned — I'm done chatting, I need to adjust to the time difference. I'm going to Alexandria tomorrow."

Have you heard of this place?

"This is the first time I've heard of it. There's some kind of ancient castle in the suburbs of Milan. It's very unique. My brother will take us there tomorrow."

Tian Xiwei then shared the program preview for tomorrow, which sparked another round of praise from the girls in the group.

After doing all this, Tian Xiwei finally logged off and went to sleep, completely satisfied.

Although Tian Xiwei went offline to sleep, the chat in the group became increasingly explicit, with everyone discussing how to win over Lu Yunzhou.

But Wang Ran also knew that these people were just talking on paper and had no chance at all.

Tian Xiwei, on the other hand, truly has a chance.

Just as Wang Ran was feeling down, the door was suddenly opened gently.

Lu Yunzhou peeked out quietly, saw that Wang Ran was not asleep, and then gently closed the door again.

He leaped onto Wang Cheran's bed in a flash and pulled her into his arms: "Are you angry with me?"

"Don't touch me."

-

Wang turned away, his back to Lu Yunzhou, and gave a soft snort.

But I felt a little better.

If Lu Yunzhou keeps sleeping with Zhang Ruonan but ignores her, and she sees Tian Xiwei being fawned over in the group chat.

Therefore, this day will be very difficult for her.

"I've already found a house on Yuyuan Road. As soon as the movie's revenue sharing arrives, I'll take you to buy it. It'll be in your name, okay?"

Houses on Yuyuan Road often cost tens of millions of yuan.

Lu Yunzhou's shrewd tactics, under normal circumstances, could reduce a woman with an IQ of 200 to an IQ of only 20.

He was certain that Wang Ran was rather arrogant and wouldn't deliberately feign politeness towards him for money.

Therefore, he is willing to openly and sincerely express his sincerity.

If it were a woman with Yang Mi's personality, he wouldn't spend a single penny on her.

"I didn't even agree to that. Why are you buying me a house?"

At this moment, Wang Churan felt very warm inside, and her tone was not angry at all, but rather carried a hint of coquettishness.

Because she had just experienced watching Tian Xiwei being fawned over in the group chat, and then heard Zhang Ruonan remove her from the reserve list, preparing to promote Tang Yan, Chen Yuqi, or Tian Xiwei to the top.

When she was feeling her worst, Lu Yunzhou came and bought her shares at rock-bottom prices, giving her tremendous comfort.

It made her feel that the whole world was her enemy, and only Lu Yunzhou was the best person to her and the person who cared about her the most.

"A house worth twenty or thirty million, only our little rich girl like me wouldn't even look at it. I wonder if Xiao Tian would like it—"

Lu Yunzhou hadn't finished speaking; he had only just mentioned the name Xiao Tian.

Wang Churan immediately turned around and covered Lu Yunzhou's mouth: "You are not allowed to give it to Xiaotian."

Why?

Lu Yunzhou pretended not to understand and asked a question.

Wang thought for a long time before saying confidently, "Xiao Tian is incredibly strong; he might abuse you in the future."

She was jealous.

The competition among the females has begun.

Once women start competing with each other, their IQ drops by at least half.

Lu Yunzhou chuckled inwardly, but still couldn't help asking, "If you were with me, would you abuse me?"

Upon hearing this question, Wang Churan couldn't help but think of a scene: when she was sleeping, she had a nightmare and accidentally kicked Lu Yunzhou off the bed.

After Lu Yunzhou fell off the bed, he shouted, "Chuanmei, run! There's an earthquake!"

Haha.

Wang Ran had dreamt of this scene before.

Upon hearing Lu Yunzhou's question, Wang Cheran almost couldn't hold back his laughter, but managed to say, "We'll see. If you don't perform well, I'll kick you."

"So you agree?"

You can't just listen to the first layer of a woman's words; you have to analyze her tone and attitude to understand her subtext.

Lu Yunzhou comes with its own decoder.

He held Wang Ran in his arms and kissed her hard: "After we get back, you can think about how to decorate the house. After all, you'll be living here for the rest of your life."

Wang Churan loved listening to Lu Yunzhou talk about a lifetime.

This made her feel especially safe.

"Brother, Auntie, can we really do this openly and honestly?"

Wang Churan had already surrendered in her heart, but she still had some concerns.

For girls, being able to be open and aboveboard is extremely important. It concerns their status and whether they can stand tall.

"sure."

Lu Yunzhou replied without hesitation, "We can even have a wedding. Do you prefer a Chinese style or a Western style?"

Anything is fine.

Aside from not being able to get a marriage certificate, there is no difference.

"Don't worry, little sister, you'll have everything that Xiaonan has. Besides, I'll be staying in Shanghai for a longer period of time, so we'll have a very, very long time together."

"Under normal circumstances, Xiaonan wouldn't come to Shanghai."

"You can become my official date and accompany me to all official events."

Lu Yunzhou spoke very sincerely.

Because that's just how customs are.

Aside from important holidays like the Spring Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival, the whole family can have a meal together and get to know each other.

Most of the time, we each live our own lives.

After all, people will be buried in the same ancestral hall after they die, and there will be plenty of time for everyone to spend together. So there's no need for them to gather together while they're alive.

"Brother, you must keep your word."

Lu Yunzhou's words dispelled Wang Ran's last doubts.

If that's the case, then Song Yameng isn't a mistress—it seems more like Zhang Ruonan is.

Only mistresses act secretly, afraid to show their faces in public. She, on the other hand, could openly accompany Lu Yunzhou to various parties.

"We've known each other for quite a while now, Boat Girl, have I ever lied to you?"

Sincerity is the ultimate weapon.

Lu Yunzhou never lies to anyone; he always tells the truth.

"You haven't lied to me."

Aside from Zhang Ruonan, Lu Yunzhou really doesn't have any major flaws. He has so many fans in his group waiting for him to pick them up, but he doesn't even give them a second glance.

Thinking about it this way, Lu Yunzhou is actually quite devoted.

At least, for a celebrity as rich, as handsome, and with so many fans, it's incredible that he's only had two girlfriends. It's truly a miracle.

Wu Yifan must have dated at least 200 women, right?

Although the combined quality of Wu Yifan's 200 items is not as high as his own single item.

Hey.

Thinking about it this way, Wang Ran was even a little happy.

Seeing that Wang Ran couldn't suppress the smile on his face, Lu Yunzhou knew that the matter was settled for today.

He lightly kissed Wang Cheran's forehead and rubbed her cheeks: "Little cutie, go to sleep early. We'll have plenty of time to spend together in the future."

Seeing Lu Yunzhou about to leave, Wang Ran tugged at him and asked the question that had been nagging at her: "Brother, do you really like long legs?"

Zhang Ruonan's legs aren't long either.

Wang Ran suspected that Lu Yunzhou had been lying all along.

Lu Yunzhou chuckled softly and gently lifted a corner of Wang Cherish's blanket: "Look at these long legs!"

Hey!

Upon hearing this question, Wang Ran immediately beamed with joy.

Yes.

I have long legs, and he likes me — doesn't that mean he likes people with long legs?

He wasn't lying after all.

Zhang Ruonan's legs aren't long, yet she managed to become Lu Yunzhou's girlfriend—perhaps because her parents arranged a marriage for her with Lu Yunzhou?

Wang Churan had heard Tang Yan say that Lu Yunzhou was a very filial person.

I heard that Lu Yunzhou gave his mother the first money he earned.

"I must be good to my mother-in-law. I need to make her like me more—that way, maybe I can become the principal wife!"

"Anyway, at this stage, Zhang Ruonan and I are both my brother's girlfriends, so there is no difference in our status."

"If I work a little harder, maybe I can push Zhang Ruonan down and make her the second wife—didn't she say that the difference between the second wife and the first wife is just in the title, and they are treated the same?"

"Since she doesn't think it makes any difference, let her be the younger aunt."

Once he had a clear idea in mind, Wang Ran was immediately filled with fighting spirit.

Wang Churan didn't want to be the concubine's maid, and if she had a choice, her substitute Song Yameng wouldn't want to be the concubine's maid either!

Back in Zhang Ruonan's room.

Lu Yunzhou hugged her from behind: "Xiao Nan, tonight, Dad said he's arranged to meet with President Sun of Jintou Group to discuss the acquisition. Once this deal is finalized, we'll be a global sensation. Then, we can go home and rebuild our ancestral hall to honor our ancestors!"

Four important things for a man.

Make a lot of money, have a son, marry a concubine, and build an ancestral hall!

Making big money is always the top priority.

Because once you lose the key element of making big money, everything else becomes rather dull.

"Um!

'

Zhang Ruonan nodded seriously.

Repairing an ancestral hall is a very solemn matter. Wang Ran, this little aunt, doesn't even know the rules, so she definitely has to step aside.

Being favored is useless.

When it comes to serious matters, it's up to you to decide!

"Go to sleep."

As Lu Yunzhou spoke, he used Zhang Ruonan as a pillow.

This left Zhang Ruonan feeling somewhat helpless. "You put your hand on my chest, and we haven't touched it for two months. How am I supposed to sleep like this?"

Forget it.

He has this one bad habit, and I can only put up with it.

Lu Yunzhou slept until evening.

When he woke up, Zhang Ruonan had already disappeared and was helping his mother in the kitchen.

Lu Yunzhou got up, took a shower, and changed into clean clothes.

After he came out of the bedroom, Ji Rujing and Huang Yida were chatting on the sofa.

"Sister Ji, Uncle Da, you've arrived."

Lu Yunzhou greeted them and then saw Wang Churan tending to the flowers and plants on the balcony.

The lemon tree seemed to be dying, and Wang Cheran was trying to save it.

"Boat girl, it's cold outside, forget about those flowers and plants."

Lu Yunzhou opened the door and called out.

"oh."

Wang Ran clapped her hands, skipped and hopped in from the balcony, smiled at Ji Rujing and Huang Yida, and shyly hid behind Lu Yunzhou.

She was a little shy.

After all, she is now a proper aunt, and her status has undergone some subtle changes. She is afraid that people will find out and look at her differently.

"The boat girl is so cute, Yunzhou, you should treat her well in the future."

Ji Rujing could tell at a glance that Wang Ran had met her in-laws and that her status had probably been recognized by the family.

No need to hide anymore.

That's why she suddenly became shy.

"Sister Ji, if I don't treat Chuanmei well—you don't need to stand up for her, Chuanmei said she'll consider when to punish me for domestic violence."

Lu Yunzhou said jokingly.

Upon hearing this, Wang Cheran's face immediately turned bright red, and she said softly, "No way!"

Ji Rujing chimed in from the side, "Chuanmei has such a good personality, how could she possibly abuse you? You can't take jokes too far."

"I was wrong."

Lu Yunzhou immediately took a step back, then smiled at Wang Ran: "See, everyone's helping you. They all think I'm not a good person."

"No way! You're the best."

Wang Churan shook Lu Yunzhou's arm and chuckled.

In an instant, Wang was startled to find that he was being pampered by everyone again.

All of this is simply because everyone knows that she is Lu Yunzhou's girlfriend.

Sure enough, in the adult world, nobody cares about morality.

It's all about self-interest.

Morality is something we talk about to others, a framework used to bind others; no one uses morality to bind themselves.

"Uncle Da, let's chat for a bit."

Lu Yunzhou couldn't continue showing affection with Wang Cheran because Zhang Ruonan was busy in the kitchen, glancing back every now and then.

Although she didn't say it, she was clearly jealous.

Sure enough, female animals cannot be kept together; otherwise, even two rabbits could bite each other with bloodshot eyes.

After Lu Yunzhou and Huang Yida left, Wang Ran sat down next to Ji Rujing and saw that she was looking up someone's information.

"Sister Ji, what are you looking at?"

Wang Ran leaned closer for a look: "One of the 50 most influential Chinese in Italy—wait a minute, isn't this Mr. Sun, the guy my brother's going to meet tonight?"

"That's right."

Ji Rujing put down her phone and turned to look at Wang Ran: "The boss of Jintou International, Mr. Sun, is from Lucheng District, Wenzhou."

He was from the same hometown as Yunzhou's father.

"He has extensive connections in both the political and business circles in Italy."

After discussing it, Lu Yunzhou and his group decided to use the name of Jintou International to acquire the Borsalino brand in order to avoid being scammed.

JinTou Group will step in to help them conduct due diligence and avoid various legal, financial, and operational issues.

They will establish a wholly-owned offshore company in Switzerland called LZ Investment Company, with Zhang Ruonan as the legal representative.

Following this, LZ Investment Company will inject capital into the SPV established by Jintou Group in Italy.

Jintou Group will symbolically hold 10% of the company's shares, while their family owns 90% of the shares.

After fully acquiring Borsalino, they will continue to increase their capital through LZ Investment Company and divest their shares from Jintou Group.

Although luxury brands like Borsalino are not strategic industries and would not trigger national security reviews, they have to put on this kind of cover just in case.

At the same time, this also makes Zhang Ruonan even more mysterious, almost hidden behind the scenes, and she will not appear in front of the stage.

"Dinner's ready."

They had discussed the specific rules countless times; this was simply a review to see where there were any omissions.

After checking several times, the group found that there should be no problem.

After a while, Lu Yunzhou received a phone call.

Seeing his family staring at him, Lu Yunzhou smiled and said, "Dad said that President Sun has a meeting tonight, and he will personally come with us to Alexandria tomorrow. He will personally lead this project for us. So, we don't need to go out."

Excitement was evident on the faces of everyone else.

With Mr. Sun personally handling the matter, there shouldn't be any major problems.

They are getting closer and closer to acquiring this century-old luxury brand, and everyone is incredibly excited.

As for the small matter of Wang Ran becoming Lu Yunzhou's concubine—she had been struggling with this for a long time. Although she had already agreed, she was still worried that others would look at her differently.

However, Wang Churan now realizes that she is the only one who cares about this matter, while others don't care at all.

That evening.

Wang Churan finally stopped having insomnia and slept very soundly, as if she had completely convinced herself.

By the next day, Wang Ran had completely integrated into Lu Yunzhou's family life, and even took the initiative to help Lu Yunzhou's mother make breakfast.

She worked alongside Zhang Ruonan.

"Xiaomeng, this isn't very good. I can tell you don't cook much. Let me teach you—Italian mushroom soup, your brother really likes it."

Instead of ostracizing Wang Cheran, Zhang Ruonan patiently taught her how to make breakfast.

In addition, Wang Churan doesn't like to reveal her real name and prefers to use the pseudonym Song Yameng. Zhang Ruonan is also very considerate and calls her Xiaomeng.

"Thank you, sister."

Gradually, Wang Ran even felt that this kind of life was not bad?

No!

I cannot give up on my goal.

I want to become the first wife!

However, Zhang Ruonan is a really nice person, so I'll call her "sister" for now. I'll have her serve me tea later.

After breakfast.

The group set off directly for Alexandria.

"Oda, what are you doing here?"

Wang Ran got into the car with great interest, only to find that Tian Xiwei was also there.

She looked around for a while and found that Liu Haocun was not there, only Tian Xiwei, which seemed quite strange.

"My brother asked me to come along. He said that he and I might be filming some scenes there, and he wanted me to go and get a feel for it beforehand."

Tian Xiwei had no idea what Wang Ran was thinking and answered frankly.

"is that so?"

-

Wang Churan pouted, but didn't say anything, although she felt a little jealous.

Along the way, she would occasionally turn her head to stare at Tian Xiwei and find that Tian Xiwei really didn't understand anything. She was just happily taking pictures and then sharing them on her Weibo.

Like a cute big fool.

This put Wang Ran at ease.

Empress Tian?

I'll drown you in the field later!

"Brother, what should we do if they don't agree?"

Zhang Ruonan and Lu Yunzhou sat together. Although they had made many preparations for this plan, what if they missed the mark at the last minute?

The thought of this made Zhang Ruonan feel extremely uncomfortable.

This was her closest chance to be remembered in history.

Become a star?

-

Compared to the allure of becoming the behind-the-scenes boss of a top luxury brand, it's completely incomparable.

"There's never a smooth business journey. You can only do your best and leave the rest to fate."

Lu Yunzhou took it in stride.

If they manage to find a bargain, they're lucky.

If you don't find it, you can't blame fate.

One hour later.

Two Audi A8 executive sedans were parked in front of the Alexandria City Hall.

City hall officials had been waiting for a long time.

Even a manager from the local bank came eagerly awaiting their arrival.

In fact, banks are unwilling to take over bankrupt companies—because if they fall into the hands of banks, the pressure will be on them, and the debt will only snowball.

In that case, the auction price will only keep going down.

-

They just want to find a buyer as soon as possible to take over the debts and the operation of the brand company.

"Mr. Lu, it's been a long time."

The city hall officials seemed to know Lu Yunzhou's father quite well; they came up to hug and greet him as soon as they met.

"This is my son, the global superstar, Lu Yunzhou! You should have seen 'Racing Cars,' right? The racing movie that swept across Italy."

"This month, at least a million women across Italy went crazy for my son!"

The father introduced Lu Yunzhou to the officials of the city hall.

The father couldn't help but want to show off that his son was a world-class superstar.

His greatest contribution to the family was giving birth to Lu Yunzhou, his son.

"My goodness—Novara, is it really you? What an honor!" The city hall officials did recognize Lu Yunzhou and had even given him an Italian name.

Novara means cloud.

It is also the nickname given to Lu Yunzhou by Italian netizens.

There is a famous Italian piano piece called "Nuvole Bianch", which means "white cloud".

The start was excellent.

The city hall officials were very friendly to Lu Yunzhou and his group, but they wouldn't budge on the price.

"3000 million euros, that's the price the Knights Fund is willing to offer."

"Mr. Sun from Jintou International is here too, and I won't lie to you. This company in Borsalino owes 3000 million euros in debt—they are already insolvent."

"The company can only restart after the debts are paid off."

"Therefore, 3000 million euros is the bottom line."

City hall officials can give the assets to Lu Yunzhou for free, but will not assume any of the company's debts.

Their biggest goal is to clear the debt while ensuring local employment.

After two hours of discussion, all other conditions were negotiable. In addition to promising not to lay off any employees, Lu Yunzhou's side also had to assume the 3000 million euro debt left by the previous boss.

"Dad, Mr. Sun, it seems that 3000 million euros is their bottom line. I guess they can't lower it any further."

In fact, this price was slightly cheaper than what Lu Yunzhou and his group had considered.

They even prepared 6000 million euros for this.

Of course, this also includes some subsequent operating expenses.

After all, the company is now just an empty shell.

"It's pretty much as we expected."

Lu Yunzhou's father nodded slightly, but had a different opinion: "3000 million euros is a lot of money. I don't believe the Knight Fund can just take it out so easily. Italy isn't Britain; the wealthy aren't that rich."

Mr. Sun nodded in deep agreement.

With a net worth of approximately 2 million euros, he is already one of the 50 most influential Chinese in Italy.

"Let me try to negotiate a lower price and see if I can pay in installments?"

"For example, 300 million euros per year, paid off over 10 years? No interest."

Bargaining is an essential skill for doing business, and Lu Yunzhou's father is an expert in it.

"Dad, I know you. You just want to wear down the other person's patience. In that case, I'll let you have your way."

"I'm taking a group around—you can give the city officials some information. I'm currently scouting locations in Italy to shoot a visually stunning film."

"I think the environment in Alexandria is quite good, and I plan to allocate $2000 million of my budget to it."

While Lu Yunzhou was chatting with his father and Mr. Sun, he spoke in Wenzhou dialect and occasionally spoke numbers in English, which was related to filming.

Although the city hall officials pretended to be discussing things inside, in reality, their little spies were everywhere, listening to Lu Yunzhou and his group's conversation.

"Boss, I've found out some crucial information."

"Novara, also known as director Lu Yunzhou, is preparing to shoot a movie. It's not a racing movie, but a fantasy blockbuster, similar to the Harry Potter movies. He thinks our city of Alexandria is a good fit for his filming requirements."

"He's prepared to spend $2000 million here—I reckon he's got his eye on that castle in our suburbs."

"That ancient castle would be a perfect headquarters for a mysterious force, wouldn't you say?"

Upon hearing this, several officials from the city hall began pacing back and forth in their offices.

They could sense that this was a calculated move by Lu Yunzhou.

If this negotiation is very successful and the Lu Yunzhou family wins the brand management rights for Borsalino, then Lu Yunzhou will definitely regard Alexandria as his second hometown.

Because their family is local, they not only have a gold processing business, but now they also own a century-old luxury brand.

In a few decades, their family will become the richest in Alexandria and a prominent local family.

Under these circumstances, Lu Yunzhou was naturally very motivated to take beautiful photos of his second hometown, attracting tourists from all over the world.

It drives local economic development.

After all, this is also very beneficial to their gold business and luxury goods business.

However, if the acquisition fails, and considering that the majority of profits from the Lu Yunzhou family's gold business come from China, they will most likely move the gold processing to China.

In the end, they will get nothing from Alexandria.

This inflow and outflow will result in the loss of at least hundreds of jobs locally, along with the monetary multiplier effect of those jobs.

Considering there are other investments involved—in short, the departure of the Lu Yunzhou family will be a significant loss for their small city.

"Boss, what do we do?"

"I feel they are more suitable to be the new owners of Borsalino than the Knights Foundation—if we can keep them, our city of Alexandria will have a world-class superstar."

"All we need to do is get him to stay here for a few weeks every summer, treat him to some wine, and get him to participate in some of our local festivals, and we'll be able to attract a lot of his female fans to vacation here."

Several city hall officials gathered together to discuss the matter.

The bank manager remained silent.

It's no use talking to these city hall officials; the bank is unlikely to lower its rates because it can't operate at a loss.

3000 million euros is the bank's bottom line.

The price is the same for everyone.

"I remember we had a subsidy for handicrafts. It should have been around 500 million euros, right?"

"Also, there's a housing subsidy."

"Borsalino, although we have a store in Milan, our company headquarters are in Alessandria. Is this rental subsidy allowed under the policy? Let's vote on it."

When Lu Yunzhou announced that he would spend $2000 million to film a movie in this small city—

In fact, the negotiations have already ended.

All that remains is to see what kind of sincerity they have in order to keep Lu Yunzhou.

It was evening.

Lu Yunzhou led a group of people on a tour outside, essentially giving them a sightseeing experience.

When they returned to the city hall, everyone was all smiles.

"Yunzhou, it's settled!"

"A 30 million euro acquisition of the Borsalino brand, along with its nine global flagship stores, 14 boutiques, 134 skilled workers, and workshops."

"We promise that we will not lay off any employees within three years."

"The city hall is returning about 5 million euros in tax subsidies to us—and the bank has promised that the 30 million euros can be paid in installments. Apart from the first installment of 10 million euros, the remaining amount can be repaid in installments of 3 million euros per year, with a loan interest rate of about 2%."

-

This condition was much better than Lu Yunzhou and his group had imagined.

"Mr. Sun, what do you think?"

Lu Yunzhou did not immediately agree, and turned to look at President Sun.

The due diligence was done with the help of Jintou International. If this deal isn't worthwhile, they'll hold Mr. Sun accountable first.

After all, they essentially gave Mr. Sun a 10% stake for free.

"These conditions are better than I expected."

Mr. Sun was silent for a moment, then smiled and looked at Lu Yunzhou: "A superstar is just different. With just one sentence, he saved us at least 500 million euros."

"If Mr. Sun thinks it's okay, then that's fine."

Lu Yunzhou wasn't particularly familiar with the situation here, but he was determined to acquire the Borsalino brand.

If the city hall officials stubbornly refuse to budge, then in the end, he will have no choice but to raise the price.

It now appears that the city hall is very keen to resolve the situation in Borsalino.

Because after the Borsalino brand went bankrupt, the 134 local employees will not receive any wages, which will affect them.

A family.

In addition, banks also incur capital costs in holding the Borsalino brand.

They are eager to get rid of this burden as soon as possible.

"It's good that the cooperation has been agreed upon. Now, I'll leave the rest to Mr. Sun."

Brand acquisitions don't happen that quickly. After all, this is a multinational brand with over a dozen boutiques worldwide, and it's a top-tier luxury brand.

But once the framework is agreed upon, with JinTou International providing its endorsement, the rest shouldn't be too troublesome.

Lu Yunzhou himself is about to prepare for something truly important!

This is a major event that has caused a global sensation.

He doesn't have time to linger here.

"Don't worry, leave the rest to me. Our company has negotiated at least 18, if not 20, acquisitions like this. No problem."

"It's just that this time, the brand is special."

Mr. Sun smiled and looked at Lu Yunzhou's father: "Brother, like father, like son. How enviable!"

"It's alright."

Lu Yunzhou's father smiled calmly, but couldn't help straightening his back slightly as he turned to look at the setting sun.

Unfortunately, there is no fog here.

Otherwise, he would have to stand firmly on the rock and adopt the domineering posture of "The Wanderer on the Fog Sea".

I will climb to the very top and look down on all the mountains below!

"Brother, how are you?"

Wang Ran, Zhang Ruonan, and Tian Xiwei were chatting casually, but their attention was always on Lu Yunzhou.

After Lu Yunzhou finished talking with the adults, he walked over with a big smile, and the three of them immediately surrounded him.

"nailed it."

Lu Yunzhou put his left arm around Zhang Ruonan and his right arm around Wang Cheran's shoulder, giving her a kiss on the left and a kiss on the right.

In a shy and coy state, he announced a bombshell.

"Borsalino, the top Italian luxury hat brand with a 160-year history, is now under the Borsalino name!"

"Ahhhhh!"

After hearing what Lu Yunzhou said, Zhang Ruonan and Wang Cheran screamed excitedly, hugging Lu Yunzhou and jumping up and down.

In this situation, who can control it?

They made history!

This top Italian luxury brand, which is almost on par with LV and Dior, and is also almost the only top luxury hat brand in the world, now belongs to them!

Once the news reached China, Wang Ran and Zhang Ruonan could imagine that fans who knew even a little about luxury goods would go into a frenzy.

And they will be envied by tens of millions of young girls across the country.

"Big brother, I want to celebrate too!"

Seeing that Lu Yunzhou's left and right hands were being tightly held by Zhang Ruonan and Wang Churan, Tian Xiwei looked around and finally found a gap.

She took three quick steps and jumped onto Lu Yunzhou's back.

Seeing this, Wang Cheran was immediately displeased and shouted, "Xiao Tian, ​​you brat, get down here!"

Tian Xiwei hid behind Lu Yunzhou, laughing heartily, "Sister Chuan, don't be so stingy. We'll have endless luxury hats to wear in the future. Think about it, doesn't that make you a little happier?"

Why would I be happy?

I'm not wearing a hat!
