Second, the war in the Middle East and Eastern Europe has stimulated global arms trade and also caused the prices of mineral resources to rise.

Third, developing countries led by China have developed rapidly and infrastructure projects have been launched in large quantities, so the demand for metal resources is very strong, which has also led to the rise in prices of metal minerals.

Multiple factors combined have caused the price of metal mining to rise. Tianxia Energy previously acquired a lot of mineral resources in Moxico, Patsima, Chile, Athens, Australia and other places. Now, taking advantage of the opportunity of metal mineral prices to increase, they have increased their investment and output, which can be regarded as making up for the impact of the decline in oil prices.

And Xia Tian knows that in the future, the prices of resources such as steel, oil, copper, tin, nickel and aluminum around the world will continue to soar, so now they are actively expanding and actively acquiring, and they will be able to make a lot of money in the future.

In terms of Tianxia Food, in fact, in summer, we are preparing to shrink our product line, cut off some products with low profit margins, and instead produce products with high profit margins.

Products with low profit margins are mainly agricultural and sideline products. Because of the large quantity, there are many similar products on the market and fierce competition, the prices have not been increased.

Therefore, in the summer, we are preparing to cut off the transaction of bulk agricultural and sideline products, and at the same time select the best bulk agricultural and sideline products, select high-quality products, establish high-end brands, and sell higher added value. As for the remaining agricultural and sideline products, they will be handed over to the food processing factory to classify and process to increase added value.

For example, selling apples alone is not very profitable. In addition to purchasing, storage, transportation and other costs, you can only make hard money at most.

But if you screen out the good and big apples and specialize in the high-end market, and take the remaining apples to the food processing factory and process them into juice, jam, dried fruits, etc., the profit will be much more than simply selling apples.

In addition, many food processing plants under Tianxia Food are not profitable, but do not shut them down in summer, but keep them in operation.

The reason why they are not cut off in summer is that in addition to the fact that these food processing plants have certain profits, the most important thing is that these food processing plants are the link between the Tianxia Group and local governments.

Every time Tianxia Food’s food processing factory can solve the problem of unsalable sales of local agricultural and sideline products, increase farmers’ income, digest surplus labor, and increase local taxes. It can be said that it is a good thing to win all the results.

The local government is naturally very popular with Tianxia Food, so other investments from Tianxia Group in the local area will be easy to discuss, such as land acquisition, mineral resources, infrastructure projects, etc.

Therefore, although Tianxia Food itself does not make money, it can bring generous benefits to Tianxia Group, and the benefits outweigh the disadvantages, so summer will keep them.

In terms of world clothing, Ye Zhiming has called Xia Tian.

The Alaber Group is very interested in selling Gucci's equity. Because they are not good at operating, if Gucci Group is managed by them, I believe that they will soon lose all the reputation that they had accumulated before and will completely sink.

By then, the equity they hold will be worthless. After all, luxury brands need a reputation. If the reputation is not good, the entire brand will be worthless.

Just like DG has encountered resistance around the world due to the insult of China, not only mainland China has boycotted it, but even foreign celebrities and celebrities have retreated from it. At this year's Golden Globes and Academy Awards, no guest was wearing its costumes.

This incident also caused DG sales to plummet and valuation to plummet, and the two founders also fell out of the Forbes rich rankings. It can be said that they were self-inflicted and suffered the bitter fruit.

The Gucci brand is now notorious for a series of bloody incidents of the Gucci family. If it is not saved in time, the brand will probably be completely destroyed. Therefore, the Alaber Consortium naturally wants to get rid of it as soon as possible.

But not only Tianxia Group is interested in Gucci, but the famous PPR Group is also very interested in this brand.

The full name of PPR Group is Bino-Spring-Ledo Group. It is one of the largest retailers in France. French Spring Department Store, Conforama Home Furnishing Chain, La-Redoute mail order shopping retailers, etc., which are all its industries.

The reason why it wants to acquire Gucci is mainly to grasp the supply of goods. Because it already has sales channels, once it masters the supply of goods, it can sell these luxury goods through its own sales channels. It is a natural result!

Facing this competitor, Xia Tian will naturally not give in.

He ordered Ye Zhiming to continue to negotiate with the Alaber Consortium, but it was just a little more money. However, getting the Gucci brand is still very beneficial to summer.

Because Gucci is a pearl in the luxury industry, winning it will be very helpful to enhance the status of clothing in the world.

For example, before Converse was acquired by Nike, its annual sales declined and its parent company went bankrupt. However, after being acquired by Nike, with Nike's support, Converse immediately turned around, not only the price increased, but also the grade was higher. From an ordinary product that was originally a few dollars a pair, it quickly soared to a pair of dozens of dollars a pair. For example, some joint models of Converse and Nike were even limited in quantity.

This is the blessing of big brands to small brands. There are also small brands under Tianxia Clothing. If Gucci is acquired, you can try to launch a joint model to enhance the value of the brand.

At that time, a piece of clothing that could be bought for 1,000 or 200 yuan can be sold for 1,000 or 2,000 yuan. The cost has not changed much, but the price has increased by ten times, so the profit will naturally double.

...

However, Richemont Group is not very interested in the acquisition proposed by Tianxia Clothing.

The reason is that in the 1990s, it was the golden period of Richemont Group's development, and its sales are rising every year. Now it has a year of sales of up to $4 billion, second only to the world's largest luxury goods group LVMH.

In this case, Richemont Group is naturally very confident in its prospects and is unwilling to sell its own company.

Xia Tian was not too surprised by Richemont Group's rejection.

The reason why he can look at Richemont Group is because of its huge potential. If well-developed luxury brands, they will produce huge wealth.

But he is not the only smart person in the world. He can see it, and the boss of Richemont Group can naturally see it, so it is normal for others not to sell it.

If the head of Richemont Group himself is unwilling to sell, Xia Tian can only attack indirectly and attack in a roundabout way.
