Chapter 6142

Anyone with a discerning eye can tell that the American media has suddenly started to expose Bernard Arnault’s past controversies because he is being scrutinized over the White Horse Island incident.

While I am aware of all the tactics at play, when Arnault’s negative press came to light, many people still felt a nagging dissatisfaction with him, and their admiration for him began to wane.

In reality, the president’s strategy is quite transparent.

Everyone knows that I was the one leaking his dirt, but what does it matter? Once the negative information is out, people’s perceptions of him are bound to shift.

However, no one anticipated that Bernard Arnault would react so defiantly, closing thousands of stores from dozens of his brands across the United States over mere disagreement.

You must realize that the American market generates tens of billions of dollars in sales and billions in net profit each year! To simply walk away from that is a display of brutal resolve.

The president, watching the live stream from his office, was taken aback. He had been closely following the press conference, eager to see how the reporters would question Arnault about the allegations and how the old man would respond, he anticipated it would surely be an embarrassing moment for him.
