Chapter 1,282 Queen(2/2)
She had even guessed who was the initiator of the shock in the French film industry, and directly asked her driver to drive her to the hotel where Ning Weimin and Matsumoto Keiko were staying.
But unfortunately, she failed.
She came excitedly and learned a piece of depressing news from the hotel front desk with full expectation.
Ning Weimin and Matsumoto Keiko actually left early this morning.
This left her with nowhere to talk about what she had been holding back on the road, and her mood became even more irritable.
So next, Alain Delon became the unlucky guy in the end.
Because when Catherine called him instead to inquire about Ning Weimin's whereabouts.
This noble, frustrated "Her Royal Highness" felt that she had been let down by her friends. All the negative emotions that came from this today also fell on him.
"I said Alain, what is going on? Has our friend left Cannes? Where is he now? How can I find him?"
"What's going on? Who are you talking about?" Alain Delon's confused voice came from the phone. "Catherine, have you been drinking?"
"Hey, don't play dumb with me! I'm talking about Ning, our mutual friend. Now Cannes is full of rumors about the feat he has done. He bought all the copies of World Television Films and Image Organizer.
Asia copyright. Haha? Oh my God, I really can’t believe that I actually know all this from other people’s mouths! Don’t tell me that you don’t know about this, don’t tell me that this has nothing to do with you..."
When Catherine said this, she was shaking all over, so much so that she had to light a Yves Saint Laurent cigarette to help calm down.
Alain Delon on the other end of the phone was greatly surprised by this.
He didn't expect Catherine to react like this.
"Catherine, don't get excited. In fact, I am just as surprised by this as you are. I have been kept in the dark and completely unaware, and when I knew all this, I was also in disbelief. I promise you
, in fact, this deal was just a temporary idea of Ning, and even his wife was equally surprised." Alain Delon could only try his best to explain.
"I don't believe it. How could such a large transaction be without premeditation? Don't think of me as a fool!"
Catherine made a judgment based on common sense, "To be honest, tell me, how much did Ning spend on these two transactions?"
"If you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do about it, but what I'm telling you is the truth."
Alain Delon's voice always remained gentle, "As for the transaction amount, I was not at the scene, and what I know is not too clear. Anyway, it adds up to about 500 million francs!"
"Five hundred million! Ha!" Catherine exclaimed uncontrollably. This number was far beyond her imagination.
She really didn't understand where Ning Weimin got so much money and why he spent money on these useless copies.
Of course, what she couldn't figure out even more was why the two of them kept it secret from her.
"I really can't believe that as your mutual friends, both of you chose to hide this from me. I didn't even know he was gone! Why didn't he want to say goodbye to me? He didn't even say goodbye on the phone.
None? Has he never considered me a friend? What did I do to make him treat me like this? "
"Don't think nonsense, Catherine. Listen to me carefully..."
Alain Delon sighed helplessly. An excited woman is already troublesome, let alone trying to appease the arrogant Queen.
"My dear, what is so difficult to understand? I have to say that confidentiality is indeed necessary. If you think about it from another angle, what will happen to Ning and his wife once these things are leaked? All studios
They will regard them as big fat meat, and they will be eager to get involved with them in order to sell copies of their own inventory. Of course they don't want this. As for not telling you and not having time to say goodbye, it was entirely because of an unexpected situation. Originally,
Ning and I also discussed inviting you over on the day of the closing ceremony to get together again. Unfortunately, later..."
"what happened?"
"His chairman also knew about this. So Mr. Picardon hopes to meet him as soon as possible and have a good talk in person. You know, it's like the Middle Ages, when a lord was summoned by the king. There is no delay and it must be respected. Just
In this way, I helped him get two tickets temporarily. He left by plane at noon today. He did entrust me to take him to say goodbye to you. However, I am also busy with other things. Sorry, I forgot...
…”
"Then he is in Paris now? Can I find him in Paris?"
"Hey, relax. If I tell you how to find him, then I have to know why you are so anxious to find him. After all, he also asked me to help block the news. Although I can do something special for a true friend
Deal with it. But you can’t make it too difficult for me in front of him..."
"Okay." Catherine finished smoking a cigarette and finally regained her composure, "I'm looking for him because of Yves. As you know, Yves Saint Laurent has always wanted to be listed on the market, but it is still a little short of meeting the standards for listing.
Now my friend Yves is suffering from illness and lacks inspiration. He no longer has much capital to be as firm in his opinion as before. For the sake of Yves and for my own investment, I urgently need help. You really should have told me earlier.
. If you would rather invest the 500 million... no, even only half of it, in Yves, then the listing of Yves Saint Laurent may not be a problem. This is a good thing for everyone. Now, God knows what he still has in his hands.
