Oscar: I heard yesterday the the Chinese economy was shrinking...
The Chinese economy been growing very fast and way too fast to be healthy in my meaning...
What's the point about that they consume more and more luxury products coming from Europe?
Those brands are wanted and regarded because they are from a high European standard and nothing else: Who builded those standards? The Chineses? No.
So let's not stain those brands by having them half builded there, or those European standards as the western world standards, will sink very fast in our eyes and from there be less regarded in the east.
I explain in another way: They like Champagne because it's exclusive and it's exclusive because it's made only in a little region of France who has a long wine-making history.
Modify the law about this label and have half of it coming from Asian vineyards: All prestige is gone and only the modest man will buy it.
They will then sell more Champagne: But at wich price? Bubble-wine price?
So, yeah, Hong-Kong may see many Eterna watches in it's shops but do we need any Chinese owner for that?
On another side , Milus may be popular in Asia but I'm certainly not about to buy one...
To conclude: What's the point about Eterna making more money if them shield got stained?
Remember what happened to Yema before and after the Asian takeover.
Porsche just need the cash: They don't give a damn about what will happen to Eterna...
