My 1999

The Borore family, which has been developing for more than 200 years, is large in scale and has many members. The influence of the family foundation is even greater than that of the patriarch.

Foch got the answer from Borore's eyes.

He took a sip of the whiskey in the glass.

"Mr. Xu is generous enough, and the management of Vivendi will stand on his side.

As long as he can deal with the government level, no one can stop him from acquiring Vivendi.

As for the public opinion you mentioned, it is indeed powerful when needed; but when it is not needed, it has no effect at all.

In this world, the real decision-making power is always in the powerful rather than the bottom."

Borore looked gloomy.

He knew that the other party was telling the truth.

If demonstrations were really useful, there would be less disputes in this world.

Glancing at him, Foch continued.

"You have no chance in terms of law. Christina Investment Company is a good excuse. If Mr. Xu really has a son with French nationality, then all legal obstacles will disappear.

Vincent, you don't have much chance.

But I can feel that Xu Liang doesn't want the whole Vivendi. You can talk to him and divide a part of the Vivendi business that you like.

This is much easier than seeking the whole Vivendi through opposition."

Vincent Borore's eyes flickered.

"Do you think he wants to give up the Vivendi part?"

"Havas Group. Xu Liang does not have any company involved in publishing and advertising media business, so he is not too interested in Havas Group.

As long as you give a reasonable price, it will not be difficult to buy it."

"Are you sure?"

"Not sure, but there is still a chance."

Jean Foch smiled.

If the Borore family really buys Havas Group, he can be sure that Xu Liang will agree.

From the previous chat, the latter's attitude towards Havas Group can be understood.

But if he speaks too much, it will make Vincent suspicious.

It is the most appropriate choice to be ambiguous and let him try it himself.

Although the head of the Borore family is not stupid, he is suspicious and ambitious but incompetent.

To deal with such a person, half-truth and half-falsehood are the most appropriate.

The truth is to make him believe.

The falsehood is to give him some room to play.

Vincent Borore pondered for a moment, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.

Foch, who was always paying attention to him, jumped in his heart.

He said quickly.

"Vincent, don't mess around.

Without Mr. Xu, Pacific Fund has no investors. Too many people will not make money because of you. Although your Borore family is strong, it is not able to withstand the anger of so many people.

Also, you'd better investigate Xu Liang first.

He can make such a big business and has not had any problems until now. It is not all based on his business skills."

Vincent Borore's face changed slightly.

"Jan, do you know Xu Liang well?"

"Of course. Vivendi is an investor of Hongmeng."

In order to prevent this guy from being stupid, Foch said directly: "There is a 'Red Shield Security' under the Hongyan Fund. It recruits military personnel from all over the world, especially from China.

There are more than 4,000 people at present.

It is responsible for the security of all companies under the Xu Group, and of course it will provide security services to the outside world."

"Just a group of security guards." Borore said disdainfully.

"They are not just a group of security guards. The mercenary team under the Red Shield is a frequent visitor to the African war. I heard that they have established several bases in Africa."

Paused, staring at Vincent Borore, whose expression kept changing.

"Larry Ellison, Paul Singer, the Soros family and other tycoons and giants who have conflicts with Xu Liang only take action in the business world, not because they don't want to, but because they are afraid that if they fail, they will be killed by others."

Say so much, not because he cares about Xu Liang or Borore, he is afraid that such a rare opportunity to make money will be ruined by the guy in front of him.

After a long silence, Vincent Borore suddenly smiled.

"Jean, thank you for your advice, I will seriously consider it."

"Vincent, Mr. Xu is a generous man, and cooperation will allow the Borore family to gain more."

"Understood, I will do it."

Vincent Borore stood up after he finished speaking.

"It's getting late, I'll go back first."

Jean Foch personally sent him out the door, watching the other party's tall back go away, his eyes became deep.

Back to the room, took out his mobile phone from his pocket, and looked at Xu Liang's phone number on it.

After hesitating for a moment, he didn't call it after all.

The Borore family has a large influence in France. Although he is not afraid, there is no need to offend.

And even if Xu Liang is notified, it will make the other party doubt whether he is involved?

So, it is better to play dumb and cooperate with the other party to acquire Vivendi.

He just wants to make money and doesn't want to be involved in messy things.

And he doesn't believe that Vincent Borore's plan has any chance of success.

The reason is also very simple.

The Borore family has no money, or Vincent Borore's money is far from enough for him to plot against Vivendi.

In contrast, Xu Liang has money, resources, and means.

Of course, the most important reason is that he didn't pay.

I just ate a bowl of noodles, and sold my life for 20,000 noodles?

Pay more!

Loyalty also has a price.

…

"BOSS, Manchester United's structural reform has ended, and based on the reform, we have planned Manchester United's development strategy for the next four years."

David Gill handed over a thick piece of information.

Xu Liang took it and looked at it.

Everything was in accordance with his previous instructions.

The former Manchester United Football Club has been renamed Manchester United Sports Group.

It owns six subsidiaries: Manchester United Club, Manchester United Commercial, Manchester United Hotels, Manchester United Catering, Manchester United Finance and Manchester United Media.

The original Manchester United B2C website was integrated with Manchester United's business.

One is online, the other is offline, and their resources complement each other.

The development plans of each business unit are also in accordance with his previous instructions. VIP member stores and hotels will be added to three or four branches every year, and bars and restaurants will be added to six to ten every year.

Based on Manchester United's annual financial performance, one step at a time.

Xu Liang hesitated for a moment. Originally, he planned to define a specific business scope for Manchester United.

For example, limit Manchester United Financial and Manchester United Media to the UK.

But after thinking about it, I forgot about it.

Artificial boundaries also limit the subjective initiative of the company's management team.

It's better to let them perform on their own and help check for and fill in the gaps later.

"David, at the heart of Manchester United has always been sport, football.

On the basis of ensuring sports performance, developing business is the real reason why I expanded the business scope of Manchester United. Don't put the cart before the horse. "Xu Liang reminded.

He does business such as Manchester United Hotel and Manchester United Finance in order to expand the surrounding areas of Manchester United's IP.

It’s not just for hotel or finance.

"I see."

"How is the thing I asked you to do?" Xu Liang asked next.

“Harry Kane has moved from Tottenham’s academy to Manchester United’s academy and we have offered his parents jobs, a full scholarship and a monthly living allowance of £500.

Coach Harris from the youth academy speaks very highly of him, and your eye for players is as amazing as ever. "

Xu Liang smiled.

After entering the second decade of the 21st century, although he only watched the World Cup and knew fewer and fewer football stars, he still knew the name of the captain of the England football team.

When Lu Xiaopang retires in the future, Manchester United will not have to worry about having no one left in the front line.

"It's a pity that in football 10 years later, I don't remember a few defender superstars, so I have to rely on buying them."

Xu Liang said.

Fortunately, compared to expensive forward superstars, the big guys in the backcourt are much cheaper.

"He and Gareth Bale will be the key development targets of the club."

"clear."

"How is the new stadium project progressing?"

“We have invited five Chinese companies, including Huaxia Construction Corporation and Modu Construction Engineering Company, to Manchester to participate in the bidding.

At present, their representatives have arrived and are conducting project inspections. The specific bidding time will be set in half a month. "

"If British and European construction companies come to you, show them Huaxia's quotation."

"OK."
