In fact, when the first phase of the acquisition is completed, if the equity secretly controlled by Xia Yu is concentrated in his hands and announced, he will become the largest shareholder of Moët Hennessy Wine Group and Louis Vuitton Group.

Among them, the shareholding ratio in Moët Hennessy Wine Group reached 36.8%, which is higher than the Moet Family’s 21.4% and the Hennessy Family’s 17%.

five.

Of the remaining equity, 15.4% is in the hands of many investment institutions and 8.9% is in the hands of retail investors.

The shareholding ratio of the Louis Vuitton Group reached 42.9%, slightly higher than the 41.2% held by the Vuitton family, and the remaining 15.9% of the equity was entirely

In the hands of the Brand family, which once funded the growth of Louis Vuitton Group.

…

Early the next morning.

"Boss, this is the acquisition plan that we have adjusted in real time according to your requirements. Please give us your instructions!"

After receiving the adjusted plan handed over by Leo Martin, Xia Yu leaned back on the soft and comfortable boss chair and read through it carefully.

After a while, he showed a satisfied smile and praised: "Well done!"

"Thank you for the compliment, boss!" Leo Martin said with a smile.

Xia Yu warned Leo Martin: "I will ask people from Standard Chartered Bank to come over later. Today, you will temporarily transfer all the shares of Moet Hennessy Wine Group currently held by the company except for the part held by National Bank of Paris on behalf of the company."

Transferred to Standard Chartered Bank.”

"Then within a week, no matter what method is used, the equity held by the Moet family and the equity in the hands of institutions must be taken away, and the actions must be separated from the National Bank of Paris as planned."

"The Bronde family's equity must also be acquired within a week!"

"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"

Leo Martin knew the criticality of the mission. He held his head high and answered firmly.

…

Just when Leo Martin started to act, the National Bank of Paris on the other side took action again for the high commission.

The task of BNP Paribas is to buy out the shares held by the Moët family.

In order to be as successful as possible, Le Mire, the president of the National Bank of Paris, directly approached his apprentice-Alain Chevalier.

Alain Chevalier is the current president of Moet Hennessy Wine Group and an outstanding professional manager.

The reason why Le Mire took over the task of acquiring the Moët & Chandon family's equity was because there was a very deep relationship between the two, and Le Mire was also familiar with the nature of his junior, so he felt very confident.

Alain Chevalier's current achievements are inseparable from Le Mire.

In 1970, de Gaulle died and President Pompidou came to power and overturned many of de Gaulle's policies. Alain Chevalier, who worked as an auditor in the industrial sector and a brokerage agency, became disillusioned with politics and wanted to pursue his ambitions in the business field.

It happened that at a party, Le Mire told him that the Moët & Chandon Group was looking for a new head. He also said that the current head of the Moet family was not very interested in the family business and was willing to give up the power of management and control.

The group is run by a team of professional managers.

It was precisely because of this news that Alain Chevalier recommended himself, declared his alumni relationship with Le Mire, and successfully became the general manager of the Moët & Chandon Group.

When the Moët & Chandon Group merged with the Hennessy Group, it was Le Mire who came to help and provided leverage funds for Alain Chevalier, allowing the Moet family to occupy more equity in the merged company.

The Hennessy family takes control of the company.

However, the friendship between the two was a friendship. Faced with the huge temptation offered by the Bright Fund, Le Mire, who never owed Alain Chevalier, could of course ignore the former and transfer his equity to the Bright Fund.

When Le Mire also considered that after Bright Fund acquired Moët Hennessy Wine Group, it would still require a team of professional managers to operate it, and there was a high probability that Alain Chevalier would not be replaced. When talking to Leo Martin later,

, and he also received a reassuring affirmative answer.

On the afternoon of December 12, the sun was shining brightly.

Le Mire invited Alain Chevalier to play golf.

During the break, something said by Le Mire made Alain Chevalier, who was originally looking relaxed, look solemn in an instant.

"Mr. Alain Chevalier, I need you to do me a favor and help me convince the Moët family that I want to acquire their equity."

"Mr. Le Mire, may I know who entrusted you with the acquisition?"

"Has the equity held by National Bank of Paris been transferred?"

Due to being too nervous, Alain Chevalier hurriedly asked two questions in a row, staring at Le Mire closely, his heart lifted, and he subconsciously tightened his grip on the chair.

"Mr. Alain Chevalier, don't be nervous, relax."

Le Mire said with a faint smile.

Alain Chevalier showed a wry smile, shook his head and sighed: "Mr. Le Mire, you should know my ambition in this life. I have devoted too much energy to the Moët Hennessy Wine Group, and it has already made a difference in my life."

My hands are on track."

"And I am already fifty years old this year, and I am no longer young."

Le Mire's smile gradually faded. He nodded slightly and looked into the distance, looking at the French plane tree that had fallen all over the ground with golden leaves, feeling infinite emotion in his heart.

Unknowingly, he and Alain Chevalier had known each other for more than ten years, and the latter was actually fifty years old.

And what about himself?

I am already sixty-seven years old, and I don’t know how many more years I have to live...

For a moment, the two of them remained silent with emotion.

a long time.

Le Mire gathered his mood and said to Alain Chevalier solemnly: "Mr. Alain Chevalier, if you are worried that you will be fired after the Moët Hennessy Wine Group is acquired, then I can tell you that you

The worries are unnecessary.”

"And from my personal point of view, although the Moet Hennessy Wine Group is already very strong, it still has a lot of room for growth, and neither the Moët Hennessy family nor the Hennessy family has the capital.

The company is experiencing explosive growth again.”

"What's more, the Moet family now only thinks more about dividends and investing funds in other areas, while the Hennessy family is increasing its stake little by little, hoping to gain control of the company. Many times you are tied up.

"

Hearing this, Alain Chevalier, who knew the situation well, nodded subconsciously in approval.

"But this time the acquirer has the capital and strength to support Moët Hennessy Wine Group in its second major transformation. They also have this ambition and have now put it into action."

Alain Chevalier stared straight at Le Mire and asked, "Mr. Le Mire, I need more real information to make a decision."

Realizing that Alain Chevalier had been persuaded, Le Mire had a smile on his lips.

He smiled lightly and said: "You should have heard of this company. It is Bright Fund, a large financial company from the UK with assets of more than 100 billion francs."

In fact, the assets of the Bright Fund exceed more than 200 billion francs. However, because Xia Yu hid the Bright Fund deeply and handled many assets, Le Mire only thought that the assets of the Bright Fund were only more than 1,000 francs.

billion francs.

But for most people, the difference is not big. A company with assets of more than 100 billion francs is still a giant even in France. Think about Moët Hennessy Wine Group, a French wine giant, with a market value of less than 100 billion francs.

to 5.9 billion francs.

Alain Chevalier's expression changed slightly, and he nodded and said: "I know this company, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Group belongs to them. They are also a European media giant, right?"

It’s even better if you’ve heard of it!

Le Mire smiled and nodded and said: "Yes, this is the company."

"I have verified with them that the acquisition of Moët Hennessy Wine Group is just the beginning. Their goal is to be the first in the French wine industry at least, and it even involves other fields."

"Do you think such a platform is enough for you to show your abilities?"

Alain Chevalier was silent again, his eyes kept flickering, and he struggled fiercely in his heart...
Chapter completed!
