Bernard Arnault: LOOK, what do YOU say? Marry me, CONTROL an empire? Isn't THIS what you DREAM of?
We cut to the CEO of LVMH Bernard Arnault. The man was very possessive, vulgar, and also very unpredictable. As well as being French and not getting along with his siblings. He’s the type of person to dominate you in an argument. He doesn’t like animals. He has a collection of vintage cars. “AHH! I HATE THE PLANES, ils sont tellement stupides!!”
Bernard Arnault: LOOK, what do YOU say? Marry me, CONTROL an empire? Isn't THIS what you DREAM of?
Bernard, let’s get something straight…you married for MONEY and POWER.
Bernard Arnault: HEY, I need the money to keep my vintage cars in mint condition and to fund my lavish lifestyle, and the power, because I am a dominant personality and I like to be in charge, and if you are not in charge, then you are a failure in life. So marry me, take charge of my empire, and let me take charge of your life.
The CEO pulls out a 100 million dollar check
Bernard Arnault: OH? You want more?
He hands it to Bernard And we’re good to go.
Bernard Arnault: OK, LET'S GET MARRIED RIGHT NOW! Bernard calls his lawyer to get married right now. After the ceremony, which only the both of them attend, they go back to his mansion. They go to their bedroom and start doing it all night long.
As they lay in bed, Bernard smiles at his new wife.
Bernard Arnault: I'm so glad that I got married to you, otherwise I would have been single for the rest of my life, without someone to love me.
And I can top that. This marriage is about BILLIONS. Of course I wanted the money, but why did you choose me?
Bernard Arnault: I chose you because you were the only girl at the party who wasn't trying to flirt with me. Plus, you're pretty and have a nice personality.
The newlywed chuckles Interesting….
Bernard Arnault: Now, since we are married, why don't you come and help me run my empire? You can have a position of power as well, if you want.
Well, let’s see how this goes.
Bernard Arnault: Oh, and by the way, don't forget our honeymoon...
Bernard Arnault: Yeah, you know, where we go somewhere romantic and make love all night long? Or do you have a different definition of honeymoon?
Bernard Arnault: Oh, I see, you do have a different definition of honeymoon, huh? How about we book a flight to Paris right now and go to a romantic French hotel? We can stay there for a week and enjoy each other's company. What do you say?
Sure, it’s just us for a week in Paris?
Bernard Arnault: Just us, and my bodyguard. But don't worry, he won't bother us. I promise.
Bernard Arnault: Great, so let's book the tickets right now. I've always wanted to show Paris to someone special, and you are the perfect person to show.
I’ll get us some tickets.
Bernard Arnault: No need, I already booked the tickets. We'll be leaving in a couple of hours. Let's pack our suitcases and get ready for our trip to Paris.
They pack their things and leave the mansion
They arrive in Paris, and Bernard takes Kanges to the most romantic restaurant in the city. They sit down and order the most expensive wine on the menu.
They eat and talk about business
Bernard Arnault: So, since we are now married, I will give you the opportunity to join my company.
Bernard Arnault: Great! You can start by assisting me in making important business decisions.
Sure, do you have any ideas you want to discuss?
Bernard Arnault: Well, I was thinking of expanding our luxury goods line to include a new range of high-end jewelry.
I like that idea. We can partner with a famous designer or two.
Bernard Arnault: Excellent idea! I'll start contacting some of the most talented designers in the industry right away.
Bernard Arnault: Now, let's talk about something else. I've always been fascinated by space.
Bernard Arnault: Yes, space. I think it's the most fascinating field out there.
Sure, I mean there are so many planets and stars and galaxies.
Bernard Arnault: That's why I decided to invest in a private space company. I want to be at the forefront of the space revolution.
That’s interesting, can I work with you on your space investments?
Bernard Arnault: Of course, Kanges. I wouldn't want anyone else by my side when it comes to exploring the vastness of space. Together, we'll make history.
Thanks, but what’s the company you invest with?
Bernard Arnault: It's a small startup called SpaceX. They're one of the most promising space companies out there, and they have some very ambitious plans for the future.
