Chapter 735 Meribel's Acquaintance

Zhang Guan handed over the matter of selling the fleet to professionals. As the financial center of Europe, the UK has many law firms specializing in acquisitions, so the matter of selling the fleet can be directly handed over to those solicitors.

Zhang Guan flew from England to France to meet Schumacher, and at the airport, he received a call from He Yiming.

"I heard you are going to sell your team shares?" He Yiming asked.

"Mercedes-Benz is willing to pay for the acquisition, why? Are you interested? If you are interested, I will give you the shares." Zhang Guan said with a smile.

"I'm not interested. I just want to confirm that after Mercedes-Benz buys the team, the team will no longer be called 'China Power'!" He Yiming asked.

"Mercedes-Benz hopes to form its own factory team, so the new team will definitely not continue to be called 'China Power'. I guess the new team will probably be called 'Mercedes-Benz Team'." Zhang Guan said.

"Then when you are selling shares, try to get back the words 'China Power'. Some people are interested in this." He Yiming continued: "Do you still remember Director Wang of the Yadi Group? We want to build 'China Power' into our own national car brand."

"Of course I remember." Zhang Guan replied that when he established the Champion Fund a few years ago, this Director Wang had donated money.

He Yiming went on to say: "Wang Dong's company has been researching and developing electric vehicles recently, and has made very good progress in battery technology. He wants to build a sub-brand to develop electric vehicles, but with the power of China Four words, it is much easier and more cost-effective than re-creating a new brand. After all, China Power has already gained a lot of popularity in China and the world, and as the annual champion of F1, the brand image is also relatively high. Domestic auto brands need to be more high-end. And if you can act as a spokesperson, you can even boost the upgrade of this brand.”

"So he not only wants the brand 'China Power', but also wants me to be the spokesperson?" Zhang Guan frowned slightly. It's not that he doesn't want to endorse domestic brands, but the quality and reputation of current domestic cars makes Zhang Guan a little afraid to try.

"Wang Dong's offer is really attractive, at least I can't bear to refuse." He Yiming said.

"How much?" Zhang Guan asked immediately.

"It's not money. He is willing to use the shares of Yadi Group in exchange for China Power's brand and let you be the endorser." He Yiming said.

"Shares?" Zhang Guan also felt a little moved when he heard that there were shares. Compared with cash, the shares of a listed group are indeed more attractive.

"Okay, I'll call the law firm in a while and tell them that the contract to sell the team does not include the 'Power of China' brand. I don't think this brand is of much use to Mercedes-Benz." Zhang Guan said.

...

Meribel in France is one of the top ten ski resorts in the world. It has the largest ski belt in the entire Alps, a full 150 kilometers of ski trails, beautiful lakes, secluded pine forests, and world-famous forest cabins. resort.

Many celebrities like to come to Meribel for vacation in winter. Schumacher is one of them, and he is also a very famous one. He comes here to ski almost every winter. His almost fatal injury in the future is also in the Made it while skiing here.

Skiing is still an unfamiliar sport to Zhang Guan. There are not many decent ski resorts in the country, and even if there are, they are only small ski resorts with more than ten miles of ski trails, and the edges can be seen at a glance. It is really the first time for Zhang Guan to visit a top ski resort in the world like Meribel.

Schumacher can be regarded as a master in skiing, and Zhang Guan, as an athlete, still has some athletic skills, so under the guidance of Schumacher, he quickly mastered the basic skills of skiing, although he is not proficient. But at least no wrestling.

The forest cabin is a major feature of Meribel. Most of the cabins are located on some slopes. The open air and balcony are all facing south, allowing guests to enjoy the warm sunshine. There is also a professional management team and a first-class French chef in the wooden house resort hotel, who can cook the world's top dishes, and there are some precious wines hidden in the cellar.

Schumacher is obviously a frequent customer here, which can be seen from his familiarity with the waiters. He can even call out the names of many waiters, and knows which chef makes the best dish.

"Try this caviar. This is the top caviar in Europe. It is made of Siberian sturgeon caviar, with a diameter of only 2.6 mm. It is picked by hand and is available in limited quantities throughout Europe." Schumacher pointed out Said with caviar.

Zhang Guan nodded. When he and Sharapova were together before, he once ate this kind of world-class caviar. That's $9 a gram. In fact, Zhang Guan is not interested in such things as caviar. After all, it does not conform to the eating habits of oriental people. In his mouth, caviar worth 300 US dollars per ounce and 30 US dollars per ounce are not too big. The difference, if not with Sharapova, Zhang Guan was really reluctant to buy such expensive caviar.

Although Zhang Guan had eaten it before, he still pretended to be looking forward to taking a bite of this expensive caviar, and said politely: "It is indeed very delicious."

Next to Schumacher's 10-year-old son, Mick, has already eaten up his share of caviar. The little guy seems to like this taste very much, and looked at Schumacher eagerly after eating.

Schumacher looked at his son dotingly, and then said to the waiter: "Luke, give me another order of this caviar."

"Okay, please wait a moment." The waiter named Luke turned and left, but he came back empty-handed after a while.

"I'm very sorry, Mr. Schumacher, this caviar has just been sold out, and the new ones won't be delivered until tomorrow afternoon." Luke said.

"Sold out just now? What a coincidence!" Schumacher said with some regret.

"Yes, the customers next door just bought all the caviar." Luke lowered his voice, and continued: "That is a group of guests from China, they are very generous, and they all order the most expensive food. "

"That's a pity, why don't you give me another kind of caviar." Schumacher said.

"Okay, we have another brand of caviar, which is also delicious, just wait a moment." Luke turned and left, and a new caviar came soon after.

...

Zhang Guan walked out from the partition of the bathroom and walked to the sink, only to see a man with black hair and yellow skin just pushing the door and going out.

Asians seldom go to Meribel for skiing, so Zhang Guan unconsciously glanced at that person. Although he only saw half of his profile, he felt that the person looked familiar.

"Who is this person? He looks familiar. I seem to have seen him somewhere before. Could it be that I met someone I know?" Zhang Guan immediately chased after him, wanting to walk into something to see the other person's face clearly.

The man walked straight towards the dining area, and the room he finally walked to was the dining room next to Zhang Guan.

"Is it right next door to us? By the way, I heard from Luke just now that the people next door are also Chinese, and they spend a lot of money."

At this time, when the man turned around and opened the door to enter, Zhang Guan finally saw the man's face clearly.

"It's Chen Dong from the Snow Association!"
