Chapter 129 Take over the public
There are only five days left before Marita's birthday. If you want to take advantage of the situation and promote it, it should not exceed three days at the latest, so you have to arrange an exhibition within a week, and you must take action immediately.

After the telegram was sent out, Renian quickly replied to the telegram and rushed over from Paris in the afternoon, contacted the exhibition venue, arranged the venue, etc.
Dior and Balmain also attached great importance to this opportunity. Everyone packed dozens of new clothes that they had prepared for a long time and would come to London in two days.
Even Givenchy was not willing to be lonely, so he asked his assistant to bring some of his works and was ready to benefit from it.
Zhou Nan knew nothing about business. Although he knew that he should do this, he didn't know what to do. So after he arranged the matter, he would ignore it. At most, he would attend the exhibition and promotion meeting at this time.
On the contrary, Mrs. Hemstrasse and Audrey attached great importance to this matter. They followed Renian, who came from Paris, and were busy with this matter for the next few days.
Renian was originally the promotion manager of Baoji Watches. Although the audience of watches and clothing is different, the recommendation procedures are similar.
It’s nothing more than finding a venue and then decorating it for easy publicity.
But after discussing it, they decided to put the exhibition in the villa where they lived, which made Zhou Nan a little confused.
In his impression, such promotion meetings should not be put in the exhibition hall, but at least they should be placed in the mall or in a famous public place. How can they be placed in the villa?
But since he didn't understand, Zhou Nan would of course do as he did after they made the decision.
So, his compilation team temporarily moved from the first floor to the second floor, leaving the space downstairs for them to struggle.
When Dior and Balmain arrived in London, the first floor of the villa had just been transferred by simple lighting and furniture. Without any reconstruction, it had become a luxurious exhibition hall full of historical atmosphere.
The long history and the royal style give this castle-style villa a taller background. Although the show here is not as convenient as a professional show, it can increase the value of goods.
Audrey posted invitations in the aristocratic circle, and Mrs. Hemstrasse also invited them in the family of scholars. Even Alan, who seemed a little indifferent, gave up his face and sent invitations to some aristocratic classes that had not been in contact for a long time.
But the biggest role played by Nord was the one who knew not many female relatives, but he had some shares in the fashion circle and had such connections.
For example, Breguet Watch is a big and small shareholder, and Breguet Watch dealer in London helps a shareholder invite some wealthy families without any effort.
What is even more powerful is the media. Zhou Nan has been busy editing books for a while recently. Except for the joint press conference held with the Red Cross in London, no news broke out on him.
While people were still looking forward to the early book of his second volume of "General History of the World", it was suddenly reported that the fashion company he established under Audrey's surname began to accept reservations, which is not a big deal.
Especially the British media's favor for Audrey has made this publicity campaign more popular than the prince's 16th birthday.
After all, the princess celebrates her birthday every year, and the age of sixteen is not a coming-of-age ceremony.
However, a newly established clothing company, registered in Switzerland and studio in Paris, wants to start its own brand in London, which aroused more curiosity.
At this time, Zhou Nan realized that it was not necessary to be so commercialized, but it could achieve commercial purposes better.
Just as Zhou Nan and his team were preparing for this promotion meeting, Yannik, who was far away in Wolfsburg, finally negotiated various conditions for joining the public with all walks of life in the factory and the British.
First of all, in terms of equity, except for the 20% shares that Lower Saxony invested in land, this cannot be moved, and the other 80% shares are now controlled by the British.
Because this is the British-occupied area, the French wanted Volkswagen's equipment, and this purpose was not achieved. They now detained Volkswagen's chief engineer Ferdinand de Porsche and locked him up in a prison in Dijon.
After many negotiations, and the Citroen company in France did not allow the government to build another large automobile factory in China, the French government finally compromised.
The French wanted to go to the 5% stake in the shares that originally belonged to Porsche, but under the opposition of the German trade union, they did not want the shares.
Volkswagen will pay the 5% share income to the French on time every year in addition to compensation for ten years.
France will also release the elderly Porsche, but the price of freedom is that they lose this part of their shares. However, Volkswagen will cooperate with the Porsche company established by the Porsche family to support this company that is on the verge of bankruptcy.
The British will control the 80% shares, forty percent of which will be directly transferred to Yannik. The remaining 40% will be controlled by the British for ten years, and after ten years, it will be gradually returned to Yannik according to the market price.
Of course, the premise is that Yannik can pay this part of the acquisition, otherwise there will still be a ten-year exclusive period.
Twenty years later, if Janik still had no money to buy this part of the shares, the British would have to withdraw directly from Volkswagen. However, at that time, as long as it was sold to the Germans, Janik and the Lower Saxony government could not restrict who the British would sell to.
Just in the transfer of shares and the negotiation of various conditions, all parties have signed more than one hundred agreements, and each responsibility and obligation is strictly divided.
Although Yannik now only holds forty percent of the shares, he has 80 percent of the operating rights. The British only have veto power in terms of operations, but cannot participate in the company's operations.
Although the Lower Saxony government has 20% of its shares, it does not have the right to operate. Like the British, they withdraw from the company's operations, but they also have the right to review and operate the veto.
It means that although Janik now holds almost all the power of the company, this measure cannot be implemented only if a large decision is rejected by either of the other two parties.
At the same time, Volkswagen will also bear the annual compensation of 10% of the income required by the British for fifty years. This compensation will be included in the government's compensation amount in a tax situation after the government is established.
However, when Germany does not have a government yet, it can only bear the amount of compensation required by the UK in an individual way.
After clarifying the equity dispute, the most difficult thing is how to make Volkswagen, a behemoth, run. At present, Volkswagen, except for some heavy equipment, most of the equipment has been dismantled and moved away.
The British will return this part of the equipment to Volkswagen, but the factory has almost nothing at present. If the factory runs smoothly, it will still require huge amounts of money to purchase it.
The Lower Saxony government is completely uninvolved in the operation of the factory. They are like landlords, just collecting rent, and they have no money now.
So, the pressure was all on Janik. Zhou Nan raised more than 5 million Swiss francs to him, and he had consumed nearly one million in other aspects. He gave the British four million Swiss francs, leaving only hundreds of thousands of Swiss francs in his hand.
With these hundreds of thousands, it is impossible to make this large factory run. Not to mention purchasing raw materials, even buying some grain to fill the stomachs of nearly 20,000 workers is a bit irresistible.
Fortunately, both the British and Americans are still optimistic about the future of the public. Now some people are willing to stand up and take responsibility, and their banks are also willing to borrow.
In addition to cash, the United Kingdom and the United States are also willing to provide materials and materials needed to start construction, and are willing to provide policy assistance to the public for resumption of work, such as opening coal supply channels, power supply, etc.
The resumption of work of an automobile factory involves hundreds of industries, which means that as long as Volkswagen resumes work, it can drive the flow of resources in hundreds of factories. This is also the reason why Britain and the United States attach importance to Volkswagen.
Another important reason why Yannik was able to make a big fortune with a small fortune was that his face, and even Lawsons' face were not enough, is that Zhou Nan.
After Zhou Nan made some suggestions at Buckingham Palace, the negotiations about the public were much faster. The conditions that the British had been petty, but now they have made concessions.
Yannik didn't even need to ask Zhou Nan. He only used to see Zhou Nan appear in the newspaper and had cordial talks with the king and the prime minister, and then he knew what was the reason why he could successfully get the public first.
Moreover, just after he signed all the agreements and completely controlled the factory, Dutch banks were willing to provide loans, all because of Zhou Nan.
However, even so, Janik felt tremendous pressure. He had no energy to take care of the small factories he had purchased in Cologne at all.
At the suggestion of Velxingger, Janik decided to give up his love and, in addition to retaining Bayer's shares, all the small factories that had been revitalized.
From 1945 to 1946, the order in Cologne has gradually recovered, and the value of the originally bankrupt small factories has increased greatly after being revitalized.
However, Janik did not seek high prices and transferred these factories to those who bid higher prices, but instead sold these factories to the small Juncker alliance in Munich.
Three years ago, he tricked them once in Brussels, but he escaped himself, but his investment was gone.
