__Say, there needs to be light, so there is light.

Mr. Gu said that in China, Aolong, Australian Wagyu, Rolls-Royce, Nike should not be seen in China...

So, the Aolong, Australian Wagyu, and Rolls-Royce were not seen. Nike would not disappear, but it was much less.

At least for the time being.

At the same time, brands such as Adidas, George Armani and Gu Kun have made great progress in terms of sales in China, brand reputation, and even other marketing data. Of course, most of the marketing growth is still achieved through the model of "Chinese tourists bringing goods when traveling to Lanfang". In these luxury retail industries, Gu Kun also achieved sales of hundreds of millions of dollars per month, and the net profit attributable to Lanfang channel merchants has reached more than 20%.

These are not Gu Kun's ultimate goal, but his means of showing his muscles.

Nearly two months passed in a flash, and Gu Kun watched the changes and did nothing else. From mid-November, he started boarding the "Zhu Sen" yacht and prepared to go to Nordic Europe, just as he had traveled around the world halfway and received some honors.

He no longer likes to fly to unreliable countries, and he is afraid of danger. If time is not urgent and there is no big deal in business, he can take a boat for more than a month, so he would rather take a boat.

There is no need to elaborate on the process of receiving honors during the trip to the Four Nordic countries.

It was already halfway through December, and it was the Christmas season again. Gu Kun asked his men to drive the boat back to Hamburg Port, which was to go to Lu Sen Shipyard, which built the boat back then to do the original factory maintenance. He himself also planned to spend Christmas in Europe before going back.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, he happened to take advantage of his previous life and death, and he would have a good relationship with the French, Italian and German luxury giants he had invested in, and squeeze out the remaining dividends (including the sports brand Adidas, which is the only German brand held by Gu Kun)

...

Sunday, December 17th, is also the last Sunday before Christmas 2000.

After Gu Kun's "Zhu Sen" arrived at Hamburg Port, he temporarily abandoned the ship and landed, allowing the driver and bodyguards to escort the convoy, and took a land trip.

The world's only double-pin gold Maybach bulletproof car is in the center, with the Rolls-Royce bulletproof car with large road cargo in front and back as a tool car, responsible for opening the road and breaking the rear.

There is no speed limit on German highways, or the speed limit is directly 250 kilometers per hour (for ordinary cars, it means there is no speed limit, because Volkswagen cars can only hit 250 kilometers at most, so it is impossible to speed. The speed limit is only for supercars to be equipped with a look)

Gu Kun's convoy was driving fast and arrived in Stuttgart in the morning. He stopped the car for lunch and threw the car to the original Maybach factory that had just been officially re-traveled for maintenance. Maybach's chief designer and technology director personally participated in the test of the car condition, collected data, and provided meticulous services.

The senior executives of Mercedes-Benz Maybach also invited Gu Kun to dinner very attentively. Thank you Gu Kun for his help in the reputation of the Maybach brand, and gave Gu Kun a bunch of gifts that seem very expensive to ordinary people but are purely suitable for Gu Kun.

After having lunch early, the group continued to set off south at around 11 a.m. and quickly left Germany. The convoy shuttled through the Alps and entered Italy through the narrow and long Innsbruck Pass in Austria.

After arriving at Yidaili, the road conditions suddenly became bumpy. Gu Kun's bodyguards sitting on the Rolls-Royce tool car originally needed to take turns to rest and closed their eyes in the car to rest, but after passing through the border, the water woke up almost instantly. It took another half an hour before gradually getting used to the bumpy highway and being able to fall asleep again.

As we all know, the road to entering Ideali from the Innsbruck Pass in Germany and Austria is the most severe road in the EU.

Southern European countries are generally lazy and infrastructure is spicy, but because other Southern European countries are not very bordered by Germans, the contrast is not so direct—

For example, the road in Spain is a little worse than that in Yidaili, but the Germans cannot drive directly to Spain, so they have to pass through France first. So the situation they face is just "after driving for two hours, it became a little bumpy. It took them another two hours to adapt to this bump and found that there were more bumpy in front."

From Innsbruck, Austria, to Italy, there is no such step-by-step buffer zone as France, which is not as good as the top and the bottom. It is to directly experience the gap from heaven to hell.

However, Gu Kun himself did not wake up from beginning to end, and the car windows and curtains pulled him away from Germany and Austria, and entered Italy.

Who made his limited-edition Maybach shock absorbing system better? The Rolls-Royce tool car will shake on the Italian Expressway, and Gu Kun's Maybach double gold will not shake. Not to mention Italian Express, this car will not shake even when driving to Ethiopia.

In the evening, Gu Kun and his party, who were watching the beautiful scenery of the Ligurian Sea, arrived in Florence in the setting sun.

Gu Kun is just here to travel in name, but with a big man like him, as long as he releases the wind in a targeted manner, there will naturally be guests who know the current affairs to come to him.

"Boss, this is the famous Cathedral of Hundred Flowers in Florence. Are you going to come down and have a walk?"

Shuangpin Jin Maybach parked in Baihua Square, and there were naturally tool cars outside to protect it. The female secretary Saranova gently woke Gu Kun who was taking a nap in the car, indicating that he could get down and have fun.

"Have you arrived in Florence? This car has a very good stability. It's not bumpy to take a nap for more than 100 yards. Then let's take a walk."

Gu Kun vaguely remembered that when he started taking a nap, it was about 1 pm, passing Innsbruck. He was about to enter the border of Italy and Dieli. In just two or three hours, he drove 400 kilometers, and there was no feeling at all.

Gu Kun hugged the two female secretaries in his arms, walked to the door before letting go, and walked in slowly, paying attention to etiquette.

He also came to play this place in his previous life, and more of it was the operation of Uncle Ai in the trilogy of "Assassin's Creed", so every sculpture and every rose window is very familiar.

Because it was already evening, no one was worshiping, there were not many tourists in the country, and the environment was quite quiet.

After Gu Kun enjoyed the audience for a while, the outside suddenly became quiet. A large group of people in black suits maintained the order of the square and quietly waited for the tourists inside to leave.

The tourists seemed to be very proud of their face. After seeing the group of black suits, they took a detour.

"Boss, they said they wanted to visit you, there would be no danger, right?" The female secretary Saranova was a little nervous, and secretly told the driver and bodyguards to prepare and if there was any abnormal movement, she would stuff Gu Kun back into the Double Pin Jin Maybach bulletproof car.

Gu Kun's expression seemed very relaxed: "What can I do? Here is Yidaili. I have just won so many honors to contribute to the cause of humanitarian attention in all mankind, unless Yidaili people don't want to be."

He glanced casually and felt that the black suits outside were just some security guards, at most they had some Yidaily Murphy's characteristics.

Two minutes later, a gentleman in his forties who looked very civilized and elegant, walked into the church, took off his coat and handed it to Gu Kun's bodyguard, and then spread his hands to show that he had not taken anything, and walked towards Gu Kun enthusiastically.

"Dear Gu, I heard that you are coming to Florence. It seems a bit rude to not come to visit us. Can you enjoy the glory at night? I'll welcome you." The other party spoke Latin English, just like the voice of Assassin's Creed.

Seeing that the other party didn't take anything, Gu Kun seemed to be sucking cigarettes with him, so he took out two Havana cigars and threw one for the other party:

"Sir, I have many friends. Don't you think you should introduce yourself before getting close to it?"

The other party had already walked closer, and he looked a little surprised and frustrated when he heard this. Then he held his forehead indifferently and shrugged: "Okay, indeed, compared to you, we are all small characters. Then, let's get to know each other again - Henry De Sole, Gucci Group CEO."

The word "de" (de) is added between the names of French and Italians, which are both of them have origins, which is equivalent to the Germans adding "von" and the Spanish adding "Don", which all represent the inheritance of the noble blood of their ancestors.

Maupassant's famous book "Junyou" is a classic example: the protagonist Durova was originally a lowly person, but later became a nouveau riche. He wanted to make himself look noble, so he changed his name and changed "Durova" to "Durova" (in the original French text of Maupassant, "Durova" is written as "de", which is "Durova")

Because the syllable "de" is independent, it is easy to pretend to be a noble.

The "De" in the name of Henry De Soray is of course not a fake, which means that he is indeed a nobleman.

A guy with some ancient French aristocratic bloodline came to a classical luxury brand called CEO, which is also a legend.

"I'm very happy to know you, Mr. Solei. I've been retiring for a long time, but it's my first meeting." Gu Kun gave the other party friendly, "I didn't expect that I just came to Florence to have fun, which made you so nervous."

Sore smiled slightly: "A big man like you has too many places to visit and too many places to go. I think if you are not interested in helping Gucci, it shouldn't be the turn of a small place like Florence.

Bernard Arnault has swept our outstanding shares in the US and Dutch stock markets for more than a day or two. This has been going on for more than a year, and I don’t think you won’t know.

Since I saw you today, I don’t hesitate to admit that yes, in recent years, we have been investigating the savior who may be the role of White Knight. Mr. François Pino of Kering Group, and you are one of the imaginary partners we have investigated.”

"Since you came to see me on your own initiative today, it means that you think Mr. Pino and I have already decided on the outcome?" Gu Kun interrupted calmly.

Solei smiled: "Isn't it better for us to be open and honest? Intention does not mean that you can lower the price at will. We haven't discussed it yet, so it's hard for me to give you a formal answer."

Some things needless to say are very clear.

Even though Solei remained silent, Gu Kun knew that it was because of his recent series of life-and-killing behaviors that made Solei feel the benefits of pulling Gu Kun into the market.
