The two companies originally announced their synergistic engagement last November only to engage in months of public mudslinging after the pandemic hit the luxury market and LVMH’s commitment turned wobbly. But on Thursday they said they had agreed to new terms. LVMH will acquire Tiffany for $131.50 a share, $3.50 less than the original price. That will save Bernard Arnault, the chairman of LVMH, and his shareholders the relatively low amount of $420 million off the original $16.2 billion price, and it will keep Tiffany from being left to fend for itself in an uncertain luxury environment. It has been a drama-filled relationship, however, beginning in September when LVMH went public with the news that the French government — the government! — had asked it to wait on closing the deal. Tiffany charged delaying tactics. Tiffany filed suit in a Delaware court for breach of obligations. LVMH countersued, saying the damage to Tiffany in 2020 meant it was no longer the same company it had agreed to acquire. Luxury watchers looked on in slack-jawed astonishment. Extremely competitive, unafraid of a fight and undaunted by public opprobrium, Mr. Arnault did not always emerge with the brand he wanted — though he always made money, solidifying his reputation as the Sun Tzu of luxury. 【词汇过关】 请写出下面文单词在文章中的中文意思。 1.signature [?s?ɡn?t??r] adj.______________________；n. ______________________ 2.acquisition [??kw??z??n] n. ______________________ 3.synergistic [s?n??d??st?k] adj. ______________________ 4.mudslingi
