Watching the helicopter quickly disappear from view, the celebrities had lost interest in continuing.
The assistant director hurriedly sent a message to the staff, telling them to immediately come over and meet with the celebrities, finish shooting the food delivery scene, and then leave.
At this moment, in the show’s headquarters, Cheng Min was discussing work with the staff.
Suddenly, the sound of whirring came from the distant sky.
Everyone looked up, and when the helicopter flew overhead, they were all shocked to see Yang Chen’s group inside.
Cheng Min: "No way, he’s delivering food by helicopter? Damn Wang Heping must’ve been paid off to let some rich kid join the show for kicks. This is outrageous!"
Since there was no helipad here, the helicopter hovered at a low altitude, and Yang Chen and his team came down via a ladder.
The helicopter then retracted the ladder and flew away.
Cheng Min stepped forward and questioned, "Wang Heping, who exactly is he?"
Wang Heping: "He’s really just a delivery guy!"
Cheng Min gave him a light kick, cursing, "Do you take us all for fools? He pulls off a helicopter stunt and you tell me he’s just a delivery guy? Your delivery guys are this amazing? If he’s so amazing, why is he delivering food?"
Wang Heping turned and asked Yang Chen, "Dude, can you explain this to us?"
Yang Chen was about to speak when he received a call from Mary, the secretary of LVMH’s CEO Arnold.
Yang Chen quickly said, "Sorry, I need to take this call. Please stop filming."
Saying this, Yang Chen went to a quiet place to take the call.
Yang Chen answered, "Miss Mary, what can I do for you?"
Mary: "Mr. Yang, hello, the CEO would like to speak with you, are you available?"
Yang Chen: "I am. Let him call me."
Mary: "Okay, I’ll report to the CEO now."
Yang Chen hung up, and a few seconds later Arnold’s call came through.
Arnold: "Haha... Mr. Yang, how have you been lately?"
Yang Chen: "Not bad. I heard Mr. Arnold has become the richest man in the world, congratulations."
Arnold laughed heartily, "Thank you for your kind words, Mr. Yang. Actually, I just got a report from my secretary saying Mr. Yang has acquired another 25% of LVMH Group’s shares, now totaling 37% of Louis Vuitton’s shares. If I may be blunt, I’d like to ask what Mr. Yang’s intentions are? Spending so much to acquire shares, you must have some plans, right?"
This foreigner clearly wants to know Yang Chen’s intentions in acquiring so many shares, yet asks so politely.
Given Yang Chen’s current standing, there’s no need to lie about such matters.
"No special intentions, I just want Mr. Arnold to discuss any major decisions with me in advance. I’ll decide whether to acquire more shares based on the situation," Yang Chen replied.
Arnold immediately became tense; those familiar with LVMH’s development history would understand why he cared so much about shares.
Back then, he used a shell company to acquire shares and gradually achieved control over LVMH Group.
Therefore, he was very afraid of this scenario playing out again, with him being the one ousted.
"Haha... Of course, Mr. Yang is the second-largest shareholder and should be involved in company decisions. Can I ask under what circumstances Mr. Yang would continue to acquire shares?" Arnold continued.
Yang Chen: "I heard your brands have been accused of violating our Dragon Country’s laws and hurting our national sentiment. Past issues are done, neither the authorities nor I will pursue them. But from now on, if any brand under LVMH Group insults Dragon Country again, I won’t be polite! Is this request unreasonable?"
Givenchy, Dior, and several other brands under the LVMH Group have previously insulted Dragon Country.
But some Dragon Country people are such that they’ll forget everything for a discount, and still line up to buy.
In the past, no one could do anything to these brands, but now Yang Chen could use his controlled shares to restrain these brands.
Arnold quickly responded with a smile, "Haha... it’s a reasonable request, not unreasonable at all. Besides this, Mr. Yang, is there anything else you need? Feel free to tell me, and I’ll do my best to satisfy it. But I have one request: Mr. Yang must not continue to increase your holdings in LVMH Group or any of its listed brands. Agreed?"
Yang Chen: "I can agree not to increase my holdings, but you all must not expand the shares to dilute mine. If you have such intentions, I will aggressively pursue control over LVMH Group, just like you did back in the day."
Arnold: "Understood! I assure Mr. Yang we won’t dilute your shares, and we will restrain all brands under us in Dragon Country. I hope Mr. Yang will keep your promise not to increase your holdings anymore."
Yang Chen: "No problem! Let’s leave it at that; I have other matters to attend to, I’ll hang up now."
Arnold: "Alright, alright. I won’t disturb Mr. Yang further."
Hanging up, Yang Chen returned.
At this time, Brother Honglei and the others hadn’t returned yet.
It seemed their task wasn’t going smoothly.
After about half an hour, Brother Honglei and the other’s vehicle finally came back.
Brother Honglei: "Seize Cheng Min, prepare for interrogation!"
Huang Xiaobo and others immediately rushed forward and grabbed director Cheng Min.
