Noget om snakken eller bare et rygte?

[keldw]

“Der går ikke røg af en brand uden der er ild i den” som man siger. Men om Bloomberg rygtet ligefrem er en ild, eller bare løs snak der er overhørt, altså harmløse gløder, det er ikke til at sige  Personligt håber jeg IKKE at der er hold i historien. 

I en artikel fra 2015 med Thierry og Philippe kan man læse følgende :

Patek Philippe is, of course, atop everyone’s list of successful independent watch firms and is thus a luscious takeover target. On the subject of whether the family would ever sell the company, Stern recalls that when he built the new manufacture in Plan-les-Ouates in 1996, there were rumors that he wanted to sell the firm. The talk was that he opened the new factory to fatten the asking price. “Once in a while, you always have some smart people saying, ‘Well, Patek is not going to remain a family business, it’s going to be sold for I don’t know how many billions.’” (“I am asking for 20,” Thierry whispers in an aside, teasing his father.) But both Sterns make it clear that a sale is unthinkable. “It’s part of your family, really,” Philippe Stern says, “and if you sell it, you would feel completely alone.”
