"Two LVMH group executives were approved for arrest, rumored to be related to the forced acquisition of Hermès"
"Two executives were taken away by the police before the hearing on LVMH's hostile takeover of Hermès"
"New developments in Hermès's "equity war", LVMH may be punished"
"Hermès and LVMH Group are on the rise again"
"."
June has just ended and July has just arrived. Before I had time to say hello, the French media published a piece of bombshell news.
Since the case of the confusing LVMH Group holding Hermès shares through unconventional means such as "insider trading" and "internal and external collusion" was accepted, not much information has been revealed.
In most cases, outside reports quote insider revelations as headlines to attract attention.
As the protagonist of the incident, Hermès has recently been involved in sub-brands, movies, and sponsored sports activities, which temporarily gave people an illusion.
It seems that it does not put too much acquisition cases at the top of the group's affairs.
But the shocking news that suddenly broke out is really shocking.
The identities of the two senior executives of LVMH Group who were taken away are extremely sensitive, and one of them is even Arnault's personal advisor. This has forced everyone to speculate on the final direction of the situation during discussions after dinner.
Anyway, everyone in the LVMH group has chosen to keep silent about this matter. Not even a decent press conference was held, which undoubtedly proves that they are in a very passive situation in this acquisition case.
In fact, according to the price before Hermès was suspended, it would still be profitable to sell all the stocks in hand to Hermès.
Not a lot.
There is a profit of at least 20-40 billion euros.
But what does LVMH care about these billions?
"Of course I don't care."
When talking about his work, Xiang Yang, who was ready to resume his normal work, muttered.
The future market value of Hermès is 2000 billion euros.
This difference is not just a little bit.
However, if someone is willing to pay 40 billion euros to acquire the Hermès shares that he can obtain, it is difficult to say whether he will be tempted.
If they are all taken out, why not pile them as high as a mountain?
"What did you say?" Liu Qianqian was very surprised what Xiangyang was talking about.
"Counting money."
Xiang Yang paused, and then briefly and quickly calculated the funds he had placed in Liu Qianqian's hands, including the investment income during this period.
It's not that bad. After tapping it carefully, he found that the balance in his account was really running low.
"It was you who made me buy a Tesla. I thought I would be back to work soon, so I bought a few more."
Liu Qianqian looked at the growth in her stock account and said with a smile.
The original purchase price was about 600 million euros, but the dividend Xiangyang received from Gaultier in the last quarter just arrived.
She scraped together the money and directly bought 1000 million euros of Tesla stock.
It turned out that she was right to do so.
Because Tesla's stock market value has risen rapidly in the past few days since the market opened, from the opening price of $17 to $25, an increase of nearly 50%.
Touching her chest, Liu Qianqian felt that the money was earned a bit too easily.
"Do you want to sell it now?" Liu Qianqian blinked, leaning on Xiang Yang's head.
She still remembered that when Xiangyang bought Huayi shares behind her back, he sold them quickly.
Although I am not making as much money now as I was last time, I have put in more money, and the income is many times higher than Xiang Yang's time.
It's still a bit risky.
"Where did this come from?" Xiangyang smiled and said in a reassuring tone: "Honey, I believe that in more than ten years, you will definitely be proud of this investment."
Liu Qianqian said nothing, but she felt that Little John and Laura's choice was more appropriate.
The two people who bought 10 euros sold the stock today and made a net profit of 5 euros, which they just used to buy a house.
But she didn't tell Xiang Yang about it.
Because Little John asked to keep it secret.
After being silent for half a minute, she slowly said: "Actually, I'm quite proud now."
"Ok?"
"Because you and the babies are my biggest investment, hee hee." Liu Qianqian said with a smile and rested her head on Xiang Yang's shoulder. Both of them had no shortage of money or anything.
The baby has been healthy in the past few days since he was discharged from the hospital.
If she is still not satisfied, Liu Qianqian feels that she is too greedy.
"Then it seems that I will have to compete with the babies for you in the future." Xiang Yang lowered his head and gently leaned against Liu Qianqian's head, closing his eyes and concentrating.
"Of course, but I will be more biased towards you."
The two people's leisurely and comfortable atmosphere quickly attracted the attention of other people in the family.
Unlike Liu Xiaoli, who was already used to it and still had a slight dislike for it, when Lao Zhao saw this scene, there were ripples of happiness in his heart.
Having been an ordinary doctor all her life, she originally didn't pursue much.
Having enough to eat, drink and spend money, coupled with her son's successful career, is enough to make her feel satisfied.
Now that she not only married Liu Qianqian, but also gave birth to two such adorable babies, what else could she say?
Watching the two children leaning against each other whispering, she came to Liu Xiaoli's side with a gleam of light on her face, and said softly: "In-laws, look at how good these two children are."
"good?"
Liu Xiaoli subconsciously made a sound of confusion, but quickly reacted, showed an apologetic smile, and pulled Old Zhao out.
She explained as she walked, fearing that Old Zhao might misunderstand her.
"Ah, that's it." After hearing what Liu Xiaoli said, Old Zhao suddenly became interested.
It turns out that the brat is enjoying such a happy life here, no wonder he is reluctant to take Sissy back to China.
With such a mother-in-law here, she opens her mouth every day for food and stretches out her hands for clothes.
"Do you really think of yourself as an uncle?"
Although she knew that Xiangyang was quite successful at work, there were some things that Lao Zhao could not understand. Instead, she felt that it was not good to let a young person stop working and blame Liu Xiaoli for taking care of the family.
"My dear, it's okay."
Liu Xiaoli pursed her lips with a smile, thinking that Xiang Yang's parents were really real people, and the smile on her face became more and more moving as she joked:
"I'm just afraid. The two children are still young. They always think about living in a world of two and think I'm getting in the way of them."
"How dare he! It's amazing!"
When Lao Zhao heard this, she directly expressed her attitude through scolding, fearing that her support was not enough, she continued:
"I don't know how lucky I am when I'm blessed. How would this family look like without you? I know that kid Yangyang has been lazy since he was a child. He puts things around and makes his house a mess."
"You should clean it up for him. He still blames you for tampering with his things."
Liu Xiaoli, who wanted to complain about her daughter, heard that Lao Zhao had been criticizing Xiang Yang, so she quickly said a few words about Liu Qianqian: "Qianqian is not good at all, she has a very stubborn temper."
When Lao Zhao heard this, he frowned.
The first reaction was that my daughter-in-law was extremely kind. She patted Liu Xiaoli's hand and said, "I think Sissi is very good. From now on, my two children will follow her, so I won't worry."
"Do you like her?" Liu Xiaoli was also stunned when she heard this.
How many times have I cried for her?
No, what does it mean that the two children will follow her in the future so that they can have peace of mind?
Liu Xiaoli, who looked sideways at Old Zhao, discovered that her in-laws also had a delicate heart. There are so many hidden meanings in these words.
The simple understanding is that Lao Zhao is trying to block Liu Xiaoli with words.
Xiang Yang was not a visiting son-in-law, so Liu Qianqian would definitely bring the two little guys to accompany Xiang Yang.
Then, wouldn't my so-called grandma be a grandma in name only?
At this moment, countless thoughts flashed through Liu Xiaoli's head, and her heart began to panic.
Even the look in his eyes towards Lao Zhao changed.
"In-laws." Old Zhao's tone was still relaxed and he said with a smile: "I discussed it with the old man in my family yesterday. When we go back this time, we will pick up the courtyard house in Xiangshan again and wait for Sissi. When I go back to China, I live in that courtyard, it’s spacious.”
“The villas in Shunyi are quite spacious.”
Liu Xiaoli's voice was quite gentle.
"Shunyi is a suburb after all, and the air in Xiangshan is good. If she is willing to exercise, she can go hiking. Sissi has been there several times and quite likes the environment there."
"."
At some point, Lao Zhao felt strange in his heart.
The in-laws were having a good chat just now, but why did the conversation become less and less as we talked?
Even if he talked less, he would go back to the room and separate, and while he was resting, he would feed both babies milk.
"It's not like one person takes care of the other."
Lao Zhao, who missed an opportunity to breastfeed, felt a strange feeling in his chest.
This in-law is really true. When Sissi entered the delivery room, she fought with me. Although I am a physician, I know a little bit about obstetrics and gynecology.
She spent more time in the hospital than me.
Seeing his wife clasping her fingers and calculating something, Lao Xiang scratched his head. It was not the day to return to China yet.
"I said, what's wrong?"
"Sissi was hospitalized, and I stayed with her for three days."
Lao Zhao glanced at Lao Xiang, who was walking over, and said reluctantly.
"It's not just that, you stayed here for three days after Qianqian gave birth." Lao Xiang smiled inexplicably. Since Liu Qianqian's mother and daughter were safe, his anxious heart had dropped.
In those days, he followed Principal An every day, visited his granddaughter during the day, and drank wine at night. Not to mention, he lived a very relaxed life.
I can still take it out to savor it.
"I'm talking about the beginning." Lao Zhao glanced at Lao Xiang angrily, "Who are you on?"
"Uh"
Lao Xiang was a little confused after being glared at.
After thinking for a long time and not understanding what was going on, he said: "Then my in-laws only lived one day longer than you, and they can communicate with foreigners, and you can do the same."
Feeling that Lao Zhao's eyes were getting sharper, Lao Xiang closed his mouth and muttered in his heart: "You are all relying on blind gestures."
"I made blind gestures, and I didn't cause any trouble for Sissi." Old Zhao lowered his eyes and said unwillingly: "That's right, she, Liu Xiaoli, has been living with her two children. It doesn't matter if my mother's son doesn't care. Yes, Sissi is so clingy to me, I haven’t even taken good care of her, and now she’s trying to steal the baby from me.”
"Snatch the baby?"
Lao Xiang was stunned for a moment, how could this be considered robbery?
"No, I have to breastfeed both children later."
"It's my first time to be a grandma and grandma. Why does she, Liu Xiaoli, come here to take over two babies after taking over Sissi?"
After dinner, Xiang Yang and Liu Qianqian were playing with their two babies in the bedroom, smiling happily.
Xiangyang likes to play with his feet, and when he scratches them with his fingers, the little ones burst into silent laughter.
Just don't scratch it too much, otherwise it will make you cry.
Liu Qianqian likes to play with her hands. When she stretched out her fingers and was caught by the soft little fingers of the two babies, her heart melted.
Especially the babbling little expressions are so intoxicating.
Amidst the laughter of the two of them, they didn't realize at all that their home was about to become the northwest of Shanxi.
However, whether it was Lao Zhao or Liu Xiaoli, although they suddenly became unhappy because of their disagreement, they did not show any sign in front of everyone.
Even when we sat together to have dinner, no one noticed anything.
During this period, Lao Zhao kept chatting with Liu Qianqian's aunt, and occasionally asked about the various names of vegetables, repeating them in a precise manner.
But the more this happened, the more embarrassed Lao Xiang became.
He knows everything.
But what can he do?
Now it's too late to call Lao An and ask him to come over. Telling Liu Xiaoli in front of Lao Zhao is no different from giving herself away.
And Xiangyang and Liu Qianqian.
After taking a deep look at the two children, Lao Xiang sighed from the bottom of his heart.
It's hard enough to be caught in the middle, but it's better not to cause trouble for the two children.
Lao Xiang was lamenting that the children's life was destined to be difficult. Listening to her sister talking and laughing as she taught Lao Zhao the English words for vegetables, Liu Xiaoli served a bowl of chicken porridge to Xiang Yang and said with a smile:
"Yangyang, you're going back to work soon. Tell mom what you want to eat."
Xiang Yang took the soup bowl with both hands and said with a smile:
"Mom, I can eat whatever I want. Sissi eats so well, and I'm getting fat."
"Then give it to me~" Liu Qianqian pursed her lips arrogantly. She only bought such delicious chicken porridge after being pregnant for ten months.
What's wrong with taking some credit and being proud of yourself?
"Come on, be careful."
Xiang Yang picked up the spoon, took a sip, blew on it, and brought it to Liu Qianqian's mouth.
"Hehe, then try my bowl and see what the difference is."
Liu Qianqian smiled and finished the delicious chicken porridge in Xiangyang's spoon, then picked up the chopsticks and put the chicken in her soup bowl into Xiangyang's bowl.
During this process, Lao Zhao had already stopped her communication with Aunt Liu Qianqian and said with a smile:
"Sissi, if you like this nourishing chicken porridge, mom will serve it for you."
In fact, Liu Qianqian, who was almost drunk, was embarrassed to refuse the kindness from her mother-in-law.
Lao Xiang looked at these actions and shook his head.
Good guy, the battlefield of the two babies came to the two children silently. Isn't this a mess?
"Dad, you are eating, what are you thinking about?" Xiang Yang, who had sipped a few spoonfuls of chicken porridge, looked up and noticed Lao Xiang's daze.
"Ah, me." Lao Xiang groaned and said helplessly, "I was thinking about staying with Lao An for a few days. I think he always keeps to himself."
Hey, Lao An is also true.
Every time I drink, I say I can't see my children often, and I feel aggrieved in front of myself.
Looking at it now, this is completely a matter of not knowing the blessings in the midst of blessings.
"What's wrong?"
"In my son's words, Versailles is to blame."
