Huayu 2015, the Artist of Light and Shadow

Chapter 81 Who is the mysterious buyer, Ms. Zhang? This question stirs up a storm!

The sunset is especially gentle, and romance fills the world.

Laughter rang out like silver bells in the town's streets.

Lu Yunzhou held Zhang Ruonan's hand with his left hand and Wang Churan's hand with his right, while Tian Xiwei followed behind like a little tail, pouting.

To be honest, Tian Xiwei was a little envious of Zhang Ruonan and Wang Ran.

She didn't know when this envy started.

"The view here is nice, let's sit on that bench over there for a while."

This small city doesn't have much to offer; it's far less developed and convenient than cities in China.

However, the scenery is unique.

Many of the scenic spots are remnants from hundreds of years ago.

It is full of exotic charm.

The photos are absolutely beautiful.

Tian Xiwei then excitedly took out her phone and started taking pictures everywhere.

For a girl from an ordinary family like Tian Xiwei, being able to visit Italy is an extremely difficult thing.

On the bench, Wang Ran took out a tissue from her small bag and wiped the sweat from Lu Yunzhou's forehead, asking curiously, "Brother, what does 'Borsalino' mean?"

"Big brother, have some water."

Seeing Lu Yunzhou wiping his sweat, Tian Xiwei followed him over, took out several bottles of water from her bag, and distributed them to everyone.

These bottles of mineral water were something she had just grabbed from the city hall; they just happened to come in handy.

Look how thrifty she is!

"Thank you, Oda."

Lu Yunzhou took the bottled water from Tian Xiwei, took a small sip, and then said, "Borsa means wallet in Italian."

"Borsalino is the surname of the brand's founder. It's a very rare surname; there are probably fewer than 400 people with this surname in all of Italy."

"Translated, it roughly means 'small wallet'."

"Considering that Europeans originally named their surnames after their professions, Borsalino can be understood as meaning 'little cobbler'."

For Lu Yunzhou, these were all common sense.

But for others, it's quite a novel experience.

After all, Wang Ran attended a drama school, Tian Xiwei attended a performing arts school, and Zhang Ruonan was a vocational high school graduate.

Expecting them to master these obscure foreign language skills is simply asking too much.

"I see. Thank you for your guidance, brother."

Wang Ran secretly took out her phone and searched on Baidu, but couldn't find anything. This made Lu Yunzhou seem even more knowledgeable and talented, which made her like him even more.

"Brother, I have another question."

Since they're practically family now, Wang Ran stopped pretending.

If you don't understand, just ask. Once you solve it, everything will be fine.

Pretending to know what you don't will cause big problems later.

"What's the problem?"

Lu Yunzhou took another bottle of water from Tian Xiwei, unscrewed the cap, and handed it to Zhang Ruonan.

"Thank you, brother."

Zhang Ruonan immediately smiled sweetly.

Lu Yunzhou felt better knowing that she had been neglected since she had a younger aunt.

"Brother, what I find a little strange is why the parent companies of brands like LV and Dior haven't come out to compete with us for the Borsalino brand?"

This is the strangest thing about Wang Ran.

It's a top luxury brand, so why is Borsalino unwanted?

I heard that only one Italian private equity firm called Knight Fund is willing to back this brand.

This fund focuses on distressed assets in Italy and really enjoys this kind of bottom-fishing activity.

"That's a good question."

Lu Yunzhou smiled but didn't explain. Instead, he turned to Zhang Ruonan and asked, "Xiao Nan, do you know why?"

Under the curious gazes of others, Zhang Ruonan nodded slightly: "I can guess a little bit."

Wang asked hastily, "Sister Xiaonan, what's the reason?"

If you don't understand something, you should ask; there's nothing shameful about it.

Good that you understand. You'll learn it on your own next time.

Zhang Ruonan took a sip of water and said leisurely, "Top luxury brands like LV and Dior already have hat production lines, and their hats are much more well-known than those from Borsalino."

At this point, Zhang Ruonan turned to look at Wang Ran and Tian Xiwei: "If it were a Borsalino hat, and an LV..."

If you had to choose between Dior and Chanel hats, which one would you pick? Don't think about it, just go with your gut feeling.

Tian Xiwei said without hesitation, "I choose Dior, it sounds really cool."

Wang Cheran then said, "I choose Chanel. I like the princess style."

Hearing their choice, Zhang Ruonan laughed: "See? For these brands, acquiring Borsalino is meaningless, and it will only create pointless internal friction within their own brands."

It turned out to be the case.

For ordinary brands, Borsalino can be considered a high-end production line.

For these originally top-tier luxury brands, this will lower their prices, and some customers may even suspect that these brands and Borsalino share the same production line.

Aside from the different brands, aren't they essentially the same?

Hats aren't a high-frequency consumer item.

Many people only buy a hat every few years, so these big brands are unlikely to go to great lengths to acquire a single hat production line.

"Brother, am I right?"

After Zhang Ruonan finished speaking, she turned to look at Lu Yunzhou, her eyes seeking affirmation.

"That's absolutely right. Xiaonan has a real talent for business."

Lu Yunzhou reached out and gently rubbed Zhang Ruonan's cheek with satisfaction, then added, "Besides that, there's another important reason."

"Just now, you mentioned LV, Dior, Chanel, and Kering Group, which you didn't mention, is the parent company of Gucci and Saint Laurent—they are all French companies."

"In Italy, neither the city hall, the labor unions, nor the banks will easily allow these French luxury goods groups to acquire their brands. They are worried that these French companies will simply shelve Borsalino, ultimately causing the brand to disappear into history."

"This is something Italians would never allow."

"That's why we're going through the Italian company, JinTou Group, for the acquisition. This will significantly reduce the obstacles to the acquisition."

"In addition, the window of opportunity for distressed takeovers is very short, usually only a few weeks. You should have heard how slow those big groups are, especially the French, and how inefficient they are."

There were other reasons, but Lu Yunzhou didn't elaborate.

Borsalino's turnover is too low, only 20 to 30 million euros a year, and the ceiling is clearly visible.

For LVMH, a company with revenues of 400 billion euros, Borsalino is not even a fraction of its revenue.

Recently, these luxury goods companies have been going all out to develop beauty products.

Beauty is the future.

They couldn't even spare a thought for the hat production line.

"In fact, our real opponent has always been only one: the Knight Foundation."

"However, this company has just completed a distressed acquisition and is not currently well-funded."

"We have a lot of cash on hand, so the banks will definitely favor us."

In addition, Lu Yunzhou inadvertently revealed that he would be filming a movie in Alexandria.

The city hall officials had absolutely no reason to object.

In fact, by the time they decided to take action, it was already over.

All preparations are completed in the early stages. This is what the old saying means: a skilled strategist achieves no great feats.

The seemingly ordinary acquisition, which appears to be something anyone could have accomplished, is actually due to the extensive preparatory work they have done behind the scenes.

If someone else were in charge, it wouldn't be so easy to succeed.

"Brother, the fans in the group are all asking what you've been up to lately. Can I give them a little hint?"

Lu Yunzhou had accomplished such a major feat, and Tian Xiwei, who was observing from the sidelines, was practically bursting with excitement.

Lu Yunzhou himself was able to refrain from boasting, which Tian Xiwei greatly admired.

"Just don't expose my relationship."

Lu Yunzhou's success in his career makes his fans incredibly excited.

Because, as fans of Lu Yunzhou, they successfully bought shares early on. According to the rules of the fan circle, successfully buying shares is equivalent to having good judgment and being successful in one's career.

He can brag about it to anyone he meets.

At least within their fandom, Lu Yunzhou's career success holds exceptionally high emotional value for these young fans.

"Brother, don't worry. In my heart, you'll always be a golden bachelor."

Tian Xiwei patted her chest and said confidently.

Idols are definitely not allowed to date; that's an unwritten rule. Hong Kong idol Andy Lau kept his secret relationship a secret for 23 years.

She was 48 years old when her relationship was revealed.

Impressed.

He's old enough to be a grandfather, yet fans still care whether he's single or not.

After obtaining Lu Yunzhou's authorization, Tian Xiwei couldn't resist praising Lu Yunzhou wildly in the group chat.

"Sisters, this guy is so handsome!"

"Just now, my brother led me to do something really big!"

"A momentous event that will go down in history. Telling it to you will make you all scream."

Tian Xiwei didn't immediately tell everyone what big thing Lu Yunzhou had done, but instead posted a photo first.

"Guess what this place is?"

"If you guess right, I'll post a bonus photo of my brother."

In the photo, the setting sun casts a beautiful orange-red glow over the castle, making it appear incredibly vibrant and colorful.

There's a strange sense of romance about it.

Just then, a low-flying glider flew by and was captured by Tian Xiwei.

The whole scene looks very harmonious and beautiful, and also has an exotic feel.

It has to be said, Tian Xiwei really got away with it.

The chat group, which had been somewhat quiet just moments before, immediately became incredibly lively.

"Wow! What is this place? It's so beautiful!"

"Breaking news! Breaking news! Empress Tian has officially entered the palace!"

"Is this that ancient castle, which is eight or nine hundred years old? The one with the exterior that looks like a six-pointed star? You sent me a picture yesterday."

Tian Xiwei said in the group chat yesterday that she was going with Lu Yunzhou to some city on the outskirts of Milan today to see where the movie was filmed.

Some of my little fans have kept it in mind.

I didn't think much of it at the time.

However, seeing Tian Xiwei post the scenery now, they were extremely envious.

Just a few months ago, they were all sisters in the same group. Tian Xiwei was nothing special, so why was she suddenly chosen by Lu Yunzhou to make a movie?

Let's not mention Wang Ran.

Because Wang Ran was one of the earliest die-hard fans, and even had Lu Yunzhou's WeChat contact information, and was also a veritable wealthy young woman in Shanghai.

They have to admit that these celebrities can chase after their idols with money.

But what gives Tian Xiwei the right to do so?

How could a country girl from Tongliang, Chongqing, be so lucky?

Although these young fans couldn't understand why Lu Yunzhou was taking such good care of Tian Xiwei, they all thought of one possibility.

If Tian Xiwei can be favored, then they probably would have a chance too, right?

Qin Fan only knows about X-fans.

After finishing, he ran away.

Look at our brother—he's taking Tian Xiwei to film a movie, travel the world, and maybe even get some extra perks tonight.

Tian Xiwei must be having a blast these days, right?

At this moment, many young fans put themselves in Tian Xiwei's shoes. If Tian Xiwei could have it, then they would be able to have the same treatment sooner or later.

After all, Empress Tian said that as long as she ascends to the throne, everyone will have the opportunity to become a Noble Consort!

"Empress Tian, ​​who did you sleep with last night? Confess!"

"Empress Tian, ​​when will you suggest to the Emperor that we expand our harem? I can't wait any longer. I want to enter the palace as soon as possible and taste the Emperor's flavor."

"Empress Tian, ​​good things shouldn't be kept to yourself, or you'll be punished—your sisters support your ascension, but don't forget your promise from last night!"

Tian Xiwei felt incredibly pleased to see everyone in the group idolizing her.

Unfortunately, Wang Churan was still watching from the side.

She can't very well say that she really enjoyed herself yesterday.

If you say that, what do you take Wang Ran for? Are you going to blatantly cheat on Wang Ran?

Thinking of this, Tian Xiwei pretended not to see the discussion in the group, looked around, found another amazing spot, took a picture and posted it in the group.

This is a photo of an Italian cannon.

Tian Xiwei felt that this photo had already answered what she wanted to answer.

"My goodness, Empress Tian has indeed ascended to the throne."

"They've even fired cannons."

"Is this the legendary Italian cannon?"

"Next to the Italian cannon, there seems to be a small hotel, right? Foreigners are so open-minded, putting an Italian cannon at the hotel entrance—what does that mean? It's practically an invitation to book a room here!"

Tian Xiwei was having a great time in the group chat.

She's deliberately trying to stir up trouble, hoping her fans will think that way.

When hundreds of women are in a group chat, it's just like when hundreds of men are together; they start chatting about risqué things in no time.

The main reason is that there are a few young fans who have already started university and have experienced the pleasures of love, so they stir up trouble in the group every day.

This made the younger girls very eager to speak, but they were too shy to say anything, so they could only secretly watch from the sidelines.

"Xiaotian, tone it down a bit."

Wang Churan stared for a long time, her face turning bright red. She remembered last night when Lu Yunzhou came over, hugged her, and said some sweet words.

At that moment, her whole body went limp.

That night, I even had a dream that I'm embarrassed to talk about.

This is her man.

She can dream every day, but she won't allow other women to have wild thoughts.

At this moment, Wang Ran felt that his identity was different now, and he could no longer mingle with these little fans, lest they make inappropriate jokes again.

After thinking for a moment, Wang Ran carefully said, "Alessandria is the birthplace of the top Italian luxury brand Borsalino. Just now, my brother reached an agreement with local officials at the city hall regarding the transfer and operation of this brand."

"Barring any unforeseen circumstances, you should see the news in three days at most."

What news?

Borsalino, a top Italian luxury brand?

What is this?

Please forgive these little fans for their ignorance; they've really never heard of this obscure brand.

But that's okay, they can search online.

After a quick search, these young fans finally realized that this was a top-tier luxury hat brand.

John Depp, the captain of Pirates of the Caribbean, also likes this.

There's even an admiral named Borsatino in One Piece, which is a tribute to this brand.

In addition, although Wang Churan's words were somewhat ambiguous, his meaning was almost clear.

Everyone was excited.

"My God! Boat Girl, you're amazing. You dropped the bombshell right off the bat!"

"You mean, your brother bought Borsalino?"

"Although this brand isn't very valuable, it's still worth at least several hundred million, right?"

"I guessed right. My brother really is a rich and noble young master! He's completely different from that Canadian blondie Qin Fan."

"Lu Han's family is quite wealthy, but it's not like they would give Lu Han hundreds of millions to buy a luxury brand, right? When you think about it, our brother is still the most capable."

"Li Yifeng is just an enthusiast of in-home massage services; he's not worth mentioning at all."

"Yang Yang is quite handsome, but I don't know if it's because he's acted in too many idol dramas, but even though he looks very clean-cut, he always gives me a kind of pretentious and greasy feeling—is it because he lacks confidence?"

"After all is said and done, our brother is still the most awesome. He's usually quiet and unassuming, you can't find him for days on end, but when he does appear, it's a huge commotion, the kind that makes headlines worldwide!"

"I can't hold it in anymore, I'm going to share this explosive news in other groups—"

"Sister Chuan, is this news true? Don't play us on a charade. It would be so embarrassing if you gave false information and other fans found out."

This news is absolutely explosive.

If they can boast about it in other groups before the official announcement, it means their source is very reliable.

They have a lot of connections, they're awesome.

To other fans, they are big shots, mysterious in identity, and accurate in their revelations.

This kind of vanity is unusually strong.

After all, when you're out in the world, you give yourself an identity, and it's incredibly satisfying to let people guess your identity.

"Besides this, I also saw Sister Octopus today."

"As for Sister Octopus's true identity, I won't tell you. Sister Octopus doesn't really like people exposing her privacy."

""

"If you really want to know, search for LZ Investment Company in Switzerland. You should find some tidbits of news there."

Wang Churan really didn't want to involve Zhang Ruonan, but she couldn't expose Lu Yunzhou's whereabouts. Helpless, she had no choice but to bring Zhang Ruonan out as a witness.

The identity of "Sister Octopus" is very mysterious among Lu Yunzhou's fans.

But whether you like Squidward or hate her, you can't deny one fact—that is, Squidward is very capable.

She's definitely a rich woman.

"Boat Girl, really? You saw Sister Octopus?"

"Empress Tian, ​​weren't you there too? Didn't you see Sister Octopus? Why didn't you say so earlier?"

"Oda, you're a traitor! I've seen through you. You keep talking about the club, but it's all just your own little scheme."

Tian Xiwei was stunned when she saw people in the group starting to criticize her.

She turned her head and looked at Zhang Ruonan, who was sitting on the bench and talking quietly to Lu Yunzhou, and was taken aback.

"Could she be Sister Octopus?"

Tian Xiwei had never thought of this possibility before.

After all, Zhang Ruonan's legs aren't long at all, and they don't match the long-legged Octopus Sister at all.

At this moment, another fan in the group asked, "By the way, Sister Boat, does Sister Octopus have long, slender, and alluring legs like the legend says?"

Wang Churan typed out two words without hesitation: "Of course."

Tian Xiwei was stunned. She didn't expect that Wang Ran, who was always straightforward, would also learn to lie through his teeth.

At this moment, Tian Xiwei, realizing what was happening, quickly followed Wang Cheran's footsteps and added some of her own interpretations.

"Listen up, everyone! Not only are Octopus Sister's legs incredibly long, but she's also incredibly beautiful. Imagine the young lady from a wealthy family in Jiangsu or Zhejiang during the Republic of China era—that's the kind of girl she is."

You really know how to flatter!

You sycophant!

Wang Churan glared at Tian Xiwei a few times.

You're such a smooth talker, no wonder your brother only considered you as a backup option. Luckily I acted quickly, otherwise you might have become my aunt.

"Xiaotian, the first thing that popped into my mind when you described it like that was Dong Jie from 'The Story of a Noble Family'."

"What happened to Dong Jie?"

"Although she has a bad reputation, her temperament, figure, and looks are all top-notch. I never expected that Sister Octopus would actually be such a stunning beauty."

"Since Sister Octopus is so outstanding in every way, yet she still can't have the one she loves—there's only one reason: Sister Octopus's breasts aren't big enough!"

These words caused the entire group to erupt in excitement once again.

Because everyone knows what Tian Xiwei looks like; putting everything else aside, she has a very good figure.

"Empress Tian, ​​it seems this time she really is going to ascend the throne!"

"Xiaotian, you have a huge advantage! If you really succeed, don't forget your promise; the sisters are all waiting for your good news!"

"Empress Tian, ​​I would go through fire and water for you, just please take me to eat Congee Emperor's just once. I really crave it."

"Empress Tian, ​​I wish to become your umbrella-bearing maid! I will always be by your side, preparing a small umbrella for you."

Although Tian Xiwei didn't say anything, she chuckled as she looked at her phone.

Being called Empress Tian feels incredibly good.

Seeing this, Wang Ran took a deep breath, walked up, confiscated Tian Xiwei's phone, and rolled his eyes so hard they almost reached the sky.

She said irritably, "Xiaotian, stop stirring up trouble in the group chat."

Tian Xiwei laughed and put her arm around Wang Cheran's shoulder: "Sister Chuan, don't be so petty. We were just joking."

Wang scoffed softly.

They were joking, but you might not be.

-

Next, Lu Yunzhou took the three girls around the small city a few more times.

A small city of 10 people is similar to a small town in China.

Actually, there's nothing really fun about it.

However, this place is located on the railway line between Turin and Milan, and just a few dozen kilometers to the south is the coastal city of Genoa.

This small city is located in the middle of three large cities. It is a transportation hub with a relatively developed processing industry, and the local income is quite high.

The average monthly income in the area is around 3000 euros.

It seems that the average person's income is around 3000 per month, which is similar all over the world.

But it's actually quite good. Because in southern Italy, the average monthly income is only around 2000.

"City officials treated us to dinner to celebrate the initial agreement on cooperation."

Just then, Lu Yunzhou received a phone call, and happily took the three girls and headed back.

"What are you laughing at?"

Seeing Wang Ran smiling so happily along the way, Zhang Ruonan couldn't help but feel jealous and gave him a little provocation: "Borsalino or Swan Tears, they're all mine."

I serve as the legal representative of the company.

These businesses will definitely belong to my son in the future.

Wang Churan was young after all, and after being provoked by Zhang Ruonan, she immediately pouted, looking a little unhappy.

Lu Yunzhou sensed something and put his arm around Wang Cheran's shoulder: "After your birthday, I'll give you a big gift."

You'd like to be the legal representative of an import/export trading company in Shanghai.

"Yes. Thank you, brother."

Wang Ran was a little unhappy just now, but after being coaxed by Lu Yunzhou, he immediately smiled and imagined that he would have a big company in the future and be able to compete with Zhang Ruonan.

Just you wait, Zhang Ruonan.

It remains to be seen who will win and who will lose.

Just yesterday afternoon, she was still debating whether or not to become Lu Yunzhou's concubine—but now, after Wang Ran entered this game, she immediately began to change her mindset.

Her life was like a framework that had been reshaped, and she began to play according to the rules set by Lu Yunzhou.

Lu Yunzhou was responsible for providing her with the initial resources for the game.

Although it's just starting resources, for many people, it's an achievement they could never attain even after a lifetime of hard work.

At this moment, Wang glanced at Tian Xiwei, who was looking on expectantly beside him, and couldn't help but snort, "Little Tian, ​​what are you thinking about? Don't think about it!"

Wang Churan could understand why Zhang Ruonan disliked her.

Because, after all, she stole some of Zhang Ruonan's affection.

Now, she finds Tian Xiwei extremely displeasing. She feels that Tian Xiwei might come into her bowl and steal her porridge.

[Qin Fan Tiegan Fan Group]

"When will my brother choose me?"

"Does anyone know when the next gathering is? Those of you who participated in the concubine selection last time, don't bother participating this time. It's my turn."

"You're so ugly, yet you have such high and mighty ideas. I suggest you look in the mirror when you have time. If you don't have a mirror, you can take a piss there too."

"What did you say? You damn slut, believe me or not, I'll expose all your dirty secrets. Aren't you just a beer girl at a nightclub? Since when can beer girls be this arrogant?"

As the group chatted, they started digging into each other's backgrounds.

Just then, a user with the ID "Only Love Drinking Porridge" joined the group chat.

"Stop arguing, a new person has arrived."

"Let the newbie send out a red envelope as a greeting gift to the older ladies."

The group members were just joking, but who knew that this netizen, "Only Loves Drinking Porridge," would immediately send out a 200 yuan red envelope.

In less than 10 seconds, the red envelopes were all snatched up.

"Wow, a rich woman has arrived."

"Rich woman is awesome."

"Where are you from, sister? Do you like beer? How about checking out the newly opened craft beer bar? They're having a grand opening promotion!"

The netizen "Only Loves Drinking Porridge" was completely unconcerned about these compliments.

She went diving for a while.

Seeing that no one was paying attention to him anymore, he quietly changed his ID to "Weipingsheng" and gradually became a die-hard fan of Qin Fan.

She felt very safe with this ID; she was clearly a long-time fan who had been in the group for many years.

She had been lurking in the group for a long time, planning to drop a bombshell when no one was chatting, and then quietly leave the group, keeping her achievements hidden.

To everyone's surprise, even at 2 a.m., the group chat only got more and more lively, showing no signs of stopping.

It was driving her to the brink of collapse.

"What exactly are Qin Fan's fans? It's 2 AM, and they're still so active. Don't they have to go to work or school tomorrow?"

"They all seem to be a bunch of 'energetic girls' or nightclub regulars."

"As expected, the kind of idol you have determines the kind of fans you have."

"In Zhouzhou's group chat, there's no one left by 11 p.m. Just like him, he has a stable sleep schedule."

She decided to take a nap first and talk about it tomorrow.

really.

By 10 a.m., the sun was high in the sky, but the group chat was still completely silent, with no one chatting at all, a stark contrast to the situation in the middle of the night the previous day.

It's time to make a move.

[Toothpick Comforts a Lifetime]: "Have you heard? The Lu Yunzhou family, in Italy, in partnership with Jintou Group, has acquired the trademark and operating rights of the top luxury brand Borsalino."

"Our Kris Wu has earned so much money, when will he be able to own a top luxury brand?"

About 10 minutes later.

Finally, someone got up and replied unhurriedly, "What's Borsalino? Some no-name brand, is that all the fuss about?"

Another person replied, "Our Kris Wu already has endorsements from top luxury brands. How about Bulgari watches?"

A group of illiterate people.

Is it that you don't understand, or is there something wrong with my expression?

[Toothpick Comforts a Lifetime] After thinking for a moment, he added, "Zhouzhou bought Borsalino, and his family is about to become owners of top luxury brands. This is not an endorsement! Understand the difference between the two."

Oops.

It's been exposed.

Fortunately, the people in the group seemed to be half asleep or didn't pay much attention to the change in how she addressed Lu Yunzhou.

Of course, it could also be because her revelations were simply too unexpected.

"Buy it?"

"Really?"

"Is it possible to buy even the most luxurious items?"

"What idiot would sell a top luxury brand? It must be fake."

"Impossible, I don't believe it."

After the controversy arose, [Toothpick Comforts Life] quietly disappeared from the public eye.

She was looking forward to the news breaking out in a few days, and then she would take a screenshot of her current statement and post it out to show everyone what it meant to be well-informed!

At the same time, the same thing kept happening in the fan groups of other top male celebrities.

Lu Yunzhou's little fans, having received advance notice, went out in all directions, just to make a big splash when the news broke in a few days later.

This news caused a stir among countless fans.

It wasn't until 10 days later, on December 9th, that things changed.

Finally, a blogger who has been following the luxury goods industry for years managed to dig up a piece of news from the scraps of the Italian news agency ANSA.

The news headline was: "Who will acquire Borsalino, a century-old top luxury brand?"

The main text is very brief, only mentioning Mr. Sun of Jintou Group.

Through his connections, Ms. Zhang, a mysterious buyer from Wenzhou, China, negotiated with the Alexandria City Hall through the Swiss LZ Investment Group and, after several rounds of negotiations, finally signed a contract to acquire the trademark rights and operating rights of the century-old top luxury hat brand, Borsalino.

This blogger extracted news reports from Italian official media and then translated them into Chinese for posting on Weibo in China.

-

Bo Shang.

In conclusion, it can be summed up in one sentence.

[Chinese buyer acquires Borsalino!]

One stone caused a thousand waves!
