Rebirth

"From the information you have collected, it is clear that Allianz’s acquisition of AGF is almost a foregone conclusion. I don’t think you will fail to see it. Now that it’s the current situation, then I think you want the Spring Department Store in the hands of AGF Insurance. Shares, it’s better to figure out how to deal with Allianz Group."

"Allianz, I have no friendship." Li Feng shrugged and smiled.

"Come on, you can always find something, don't you? Besides, isn't it that AGF Insurance Group has not been formally acquired yet, and the contract agreement hasn't been signed yet. You said, a consortium suddenly appeared right at this time. The interest of AGF, what do you think the French government will think, how Allianz will respond, maybe Allianz will come to the door directly." After hearing Li Feng's words, Li Zekai gave a speechless idea.

"Hey... Yeah, if people take the initiative to find the door, they can take the initiative." Li Feng's eyes lit up and he muttered to himself.

Hearing Li Feng's leisurely "Ge You Paralysis" and talking to himself while shaking a red wine glass, Li Zekai, the little Superman, couldn't help but roll his eyes, thinking, it was really shameless.

"Richard, you are really my Mr. Zhuge, but I don’t think it’s the right time to let people get in touch for the time being. When the trip to Xiangjiang is over, it’s best to announce that the shares of Standard Chartered Bank and even Standard Chartered are in the bag. Timing." Li Feng said with a smile.

"Yes, you have bought some luxury goods before. This time the Standard Chartered acquisition will show your ambition. The relationship between the bank and the insurance group is even closer. However, John, why did you directly let Huamei The bank is involved."

"It's not time yet..." Li Feng said with a smile.

"..."

Listening to Li Feng's speechless feelings, Superman once again had the urge to hit someone.If Little Superman also came from later generations, and seeing Li Feng's appearance, he would probably refrain from sarcastic saying,'Bitch is hypocritical.'

...

"John, what do you think of the Spring Department Store in China?" At this time, Li Zekai suddenly looked at the document about the Spring Department Store in China and asked with a smile.

"This is a good project. I am optimistic about the economy and real estate of China Mainland. I think that Cheung Kong Holdings and Hutchison Whampoa are in full swing in the Mainland. Obviously, they are also optimistic. Do you think the future prospects of high-end shopping malls like Spring Department Store in the Mainland? How, do you want us to cooperate?" Li Feng replied with a smile.

"Uh... John, should you consider how to buy Spring Department Store in your pocket at this time? Otherwise, this so-called high-end shopping mall has nothing to do with you." Li Zekai replied in an angry voice Tao.

"How can it be okay? Even if I don’t have the Spring Department Store in my pocket, it will still matter. Look at my Gucci, Saint Laurent, etc., and the future top luxury brands in Europe and the United States will not all settle in, even if they can’t be acquired. It's a cooperation, isn't it?" Li Feng replied with a smile.

"Well, you are great, you can!"

After hearing Li Feng's words, Li Zekai was speechless, and could only give a thumbs up to show that you are great and I admire him.

"Haha..., am I wrong? If Spring Department Store does not have my luxury group's products, it will be incomplete. It is still a high-end luxury shopping mall, isn't it?"

"..."

"Haha..."

...

Li Zekai talked about the China Spring Department Store in China. Li Feng also found out after reading the information. As early as 1996, Spring Department Store established China Spring Department Store Group in Xiangjiang. Naturally, Spring Department Store had no such strength alone. development of.Yes, it is called Spring Department Store in Europe, but it is called "Paris Spring" in China.

At that time, Spring Department Store was preparing to launch the first Spring Department Store retail project in Magic City, which was then jointly launched by Spring Department Store, Paris Headquarters, and Ports International.

Later generations, in order for Spring Department Store to be listed, financial giants such as Citigroup and British 3i Group were introduced. At present, the headquarters of Paris Spring Department Store, Modu Local, and Ports International are combined. Later, Modu Spring Department Store was also acquired by Ports. Up.

Seeing this, Li Feng suddenly saw another well-known fashion brand in later generations, namely Ports.

I have only heard about Ports Li Feng in the past life, and the specific situation is not clear. It was not until I read the introduction of Ports in the document that Li Feng knew that he had always thought it was a European and American brand, but he did not expect that this company actually belongs to China. of.

In the 1960s, the founder of Ports was originally a "global dreamer", and they pursued a lifestyle of "swimming in the Sahara in the morning and dinner in New York in the evening". The famous "White Shirt No. 10" is Ports' signature.

Just like the later generations of Apple, Ports was fancy domestic cheap labor at the time, and the Canadian Chinese Xiangjiang businessman Chen Qitai family produced Ports products for Ports and had a very good relationship with the founder of Ports.

In 1989, the founder of Ports was about to retire and sell Ports, and the Chen Qitai family took the opportunity to buy Ports and established the group headquarters in Xiamen.

......

The final result was that the Chen Qitai family was successful in time. Ports continued for many years anyway. It was the number one high-end clothing brand in Mainland China. However, with the rise of Internet retail and the entry of major foreign luxury brands into the domestic market, profits continued to grow. decline.

This is also no way. Although Ports initially caught the top luxury goods abroad, it was too expensive, and there was no window period to fully enter the mainland market. It occupied the domestic high-end market at that time with a relatively affordable price, but Ports has always Known as a "fake foreign brand".

With the rise of the domestic economy, when Internet retail interests and various top brands such as LV, Gucci, Armani, Versace and so on from all over the world flood into the domestic market, more and more brands can be selected by the Chinese people. Ports is in the high-end field. The leading position is constantly being challenged.

In the end, it was really hard to fight others, and it seemed to be getting weaker and weaker.Later generations seemed to have ended the clothing business, and even packaged and sold the retail business of Spring Department Store, which was a complete withdrawal.

In fact, Ports’s price is very advantageous and belongs to a mid-to-high-end brand. Unfortunately, Ports, to be honest, has been wearing a “fake foreign brand” hat since it was acquired by the Xiangjiang Chen Qitai family. Just the awkward position.

Li Feng even thought that if Ports was a European and American brand, perhaps its situation in China would be better. I have to say that in the field of high-end fashion luxury goods consumption, Chinese people are still superstitious of foreign brands.

......

At the beginning, Ports was under the leadership of Canadian businessmen, but it was a top international fashion brand and Hollywood superstars would patronize it. However, after Ports was acquired by the Chen Qitai family, the focus was placed on Asia and even China.

Although, judging from the early financial statements, due to occupying the domestic high-end brands at that time, they are becoming more and more prosperous, but in the long run, the brand has lost the popular European and American symbols, and Ports has become more and more domestic Brand.

Thinking of this, Li Feng couldn't help but smiled and said to Li Zekai: "Richard, what do you think of Ports?"

"John, isn't it? You won't take it anymore?"
