Chapter 938 - 383: Killing the Chicken to Warn the Monkey

The connections with the LVMH Group were easier than Han Lie expected, surprisingly smooth.When Han Lie mentioned it to Pan Ge, she widened her eyes on the spot.

"Want to get in touch with LVMH? See if you can reach their president for the Huaxia District? If yes, I’ll take you directly to them..."

Han Lie was a bit doubtful: "What do you mean by going directly?"

Pan Ge explained meticulously: "Wu Yue, the president of LVMH Greater China is my uncle’s elementary and middle school classmate and is particularly close with my mom.

My grandpa’s family lived in the Zhang Garden area, you know Shikumen architecture, right? Those old alleys in Magic Capital, my mom grew up in those alleys, so did Uncle Wu.

Haven’t you noticed our home is full of LV, Givenchy, Dior, Bulgari?

Uncle Wu returned to be the president of LVMH Greater China in the early 2000s, and ever since, our family started favoring LVMH brands for purchases. Those fashion watches my mom gave you were actually gifts from Uncle Wu.

Visiting their house feels like going to my own home, today I’ll take you to get acquainted, anything you need, just ask him directly..."

Brother Lie felt his mind dizzy.

So, someone I need to think of ways to connect with is just an ordinary friend of your parents?

I finally understand what it truly means to be a real high-society heiress...

Brother Lie’s plan for showing off fell apart immediately, as he obediently followed Miss Pan to Henglong Plaza, to the domestic headquarters office of the LVMH Group.

President Wu was exceedingly gracious and chatted with Han Lie for a whole hour.

This man is an undisclosed tycoon, not merely a typical office president, but one with extremely high authority.

President Wu holds 70% of the decision-making power over all LVMH brands’ production and operations in the country, the remaining 30% belongs to LVMH headquarters.

He has sat at the position of Greater China President for over 20 years, which makes you realize the close relationship he has with the Arnault Family.

In terms of capability, President Wu is similarly impeccable.

Han Lie had an enjoyable chat with President Wu - among top-level smart people, whether they resonate depends only on willingness.

"Xiao Han, give me the wine list, I’ll have my secretary directly contact MHD Huaxia. As for exactly what wine can be bought now, I’m not certain, let’s wait and see their feedback..."

These words were spoken about 10 minutes into the conversation.

About 10 minutes before saying goodbye, the secretary came back with all sorts of detailed information.

"Pretty much this is what can be acquired through their channels."

Wu Yue graciously smiled and handed the A4 paper to Han Lie.

"It’s a bit short, they don’t do much in red wine, but it’s no big issue. Later, I’ll help you contact estate owners within France. When you have time, bring your wife to Bordeaux vineyards to select in person..."

Ambitious Brother Lie who wanted to show off, was outdone by old Wu.

The document he handed over basically encompassed all top-tier vodkas, whiskeys, ice wines, and most of the industry’s high-end champagnes.

Macallan, Yunding, Ingold, Hennessy, Moët, Dom Pérignon...

Han Lie hadn’t heard of all of them, but just looking at the price range marked under each name of collectible wines is enough to know the caliber of these brands.

And that’s not all.

President Wu added, "Xiao Han, I’ll introduce you to the domestic heads of Christie’s and Sotheby’s. These two often organize special auctions for famous wines, you can check them out if you have time, and buy quite a few rare top-tier limited editions."

What else could Han Lie say?

"Thank you very much, you’ve thought of everything."

"It’s my pleasure," President Wu smiled even more warmly, "Come by with your wife when you have time to visit... Oh, and your engagement gift is already being customized, it should be ready by the engagement banquet."

Pan Ge responded sweetly, "Thank you, Uncle Wu, I’ll start looking forward to it then!"

No refusal at all, this is genuine closeness...

After stepping out, Han Lie was still perplexed, "How come I’ve never heard Panzi mention such a close relationship?"

Pan Ge covered her mouth and giggled, "Could Uncle Wu be as free as Uncle Dou? He may not even take two days off in a whole year, the friendship is good, but he rarely hangs out with my dad... Otherwise, why do you think they are so at ease letting us handle the wine purchase ourselves?"

Han Lie suddenly understood.

Goodness, Panzi and Annie must have already been well aware, knowing we wouldn’t suffer much loss on high-end wine...

Han Lie truly witnessed the essence of high society, but he didn’t feel inferior nor discouraged.

Friendships might only be cultivated slowly, but mutual help based on interests only requires stable earning to be enough.

As for this, who have I ever feared?

Just keep striving!

Having settled the not-so-small matter of wine purchasing, Han Lie immediately moved on to another big task.

Friday night, President Jin hosted, Han Lie sat with Citic Securities bigwig Chen Gong at one table to drink.

"Xiao Han, sorry, scheduled for Wednesday but I simply couldn’t find the time... got impatient waiting?"

President Jin wore a face full of apology, notably equal in attitude.

Han Lie intentionally lowered his posture, hurriedly waved it off: "Not at all! Look at what you’re saying, my situation is nothing, it’s only reasonable to accommodate your major affairs..."

President Jin gave a nonchalant twitch of his mouth, introducing both sides: "Xiao Han, this is Chen Gong, my junior. Chen Gong, here’s the Han who’s been on your mind, President Han, Teacher Han, the formidable young talent who’s about to surpass us all on the beach..."
