In fact, when the first phase of the acquisition is completed, if the shares secretly controlled by Xia Yu are 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 Group reached 36.8%, which is higher than the 21.4% of the Moët family and the 17.5% of the Hennessy family.

Of the remaining shares, 15.4 percent are in the hands of many investment institutions, and 8.9 percent are in the hands of retail investors.

The shareholding ratio of the Louis Vuitton group reached 42.9 percent, slightly higher than the 41.2 percent of the Vuitton family, and the remaining 15.9 percent of the shares were all in the hands of the Blond family, which once funded the growth of the Louis Vuitton group.

......

Early the next morning.

"Boss, this is our acquisition plan that we adjust in real time according to your requirements, please instruct!"

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

After a while, he smiled with satisfaction and praised, "Good job!"

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

Xia Yu told Leo Martin: "Wait a minute, I will ask the people from Standard Chartered Bank to come over, and you will temporarily transfer all the equity of Moët Hennessy Wine Group held by the company to Standard Chartered Bank today, except for the part held by National Bank of Paris." ”

"Then within a week, by any means, it is necessary to take the equity held by the Moët & Chandon family, the equity in the hands of the institution, and act separately from the National Bank of Paribas according to the plan. ”

"The shares of the Blond family must also be taken within a week!"

"Guaranteed to complete the mission!"

Leo Martin knew the gravity of the task, and he replied with his head held high and a resolute tone.

......

Just as Leo Martin began to act, the National Bank of Paribas on the other side took action again for the sake of high commissions.

The task of the National Bank of Paribas was to buy the stake held by the Moët & Chandon family.

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

Alain Chevalier is the current President of Moët Hennessy and an outstanding professional manager.

The reason why Le Mill took on the task of acquiring the shares of the Moët & Chando family was because the two had a very deep relationship, and Le Mill knew the nature of his own apprentice, so he thought he was very sure.

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

After de Gaulle's death in 1970 and President Pompidou came to power to overturn many of de Gaulle's policies, Alain Chevalier, who worked as an auditor in the industrial sector and brokerage firms, became disillusioned with politics and wanted to pursue his ambitions in the business sector.

It was during a party that Le Mir told him that Château Moët & Chandie was looking for a new head of the company. He also said that the current head of the Moët & Chandon family is not very concerned about the family business, and is willing to give up the right to operate and manage the group and hand over the operation of the group to a team of professional managers.

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

When Château Moët & Chandon merged with Hennessy, it was Le Mill who helped to provide Alain Chevalier with leveraged funds, thus allowing the Moët family to occupy more shares in the merged company, so that the Hennessy family did not take control of the company.

However, the friendship between the two is friendship, and in the face of the huge temptation thrown by the Bright Fund, Le Mir, who never owes Alain Chevalier, can of course ignore the former and transfer his equity to the Bright Fund.

When Le Mill also considered that after the acquisition of Moët Hennessy by the Bright Fund, it would still be operated by a team of professional managers, and there was a high probability that Alain Chevalier would not be replaced, and when he talked to Leo Martin later, he also got a reassuring affirmative answer.

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

Le Mir invited Alain Chevalier to play golf.

During the break, Le Mill said a sentence that made Alain Chevalier, who had a relaxed look, 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 buy their shares. ”

"Monsieur Le Mill, may I know who entrusted you with the acquisition?"

"Could it be that the equity held by the National Bank of Paris has been transferred?"

Nervous, Alain Chevalier hurriedly asked two questions in succession, staring at Le Mir with a heart lifted up, and the hand that grabbed the chair subconsciously forced.

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

Le Mill said with a faint smile.

With a wry smile on his face, Alain Chevalier shook his head and sighed: "Monsieur Le Mill, you should know that my ambition in this life, I have put too much effort into Moët Hennessy, and it has become a regular in my hands. ”

"And I'm 50 years old this year, and I'm no longer young. ”

Le Mire's smile gradually retracted, he bowed slightly, looked into the distance, and looked at the French plane tree that had fallen all over the ground with golden leaves, and felt infinite emotion.

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

And what about himself?

I'm sixty-seven years old, and I don't know how many years I can live......

For a while, the two of them who were emotionally moved remained silent.

Long.

Le Mir collected his mood and said to Alain Chevalier with a solemn expression: "Monsieur Alain Chevalier, if you are worried that Moët Hennessy will be fired after its acquisition, then I can tell you that your worries are unfounded. ”

"And from my personal point of view, although the strength of Moët Hennessy is already very strong, it still has a lot of room for growth, and neither the Moët family nor the Hennessy family has the capital to make the company grow explosively again. ”

"What's more, now the Moët family is more focused on dividends and investing money in other areas, while the Hennessy family is increasing their stake little by little, hoping to gain control of the company, and many times you are tied up. ”

Hearing this, Alain Chevalier, who was well aware of the situation, subconsciously nodded in approval.

"But the acquirers have the capital and strength to support Moët Hennessy in its second major transformation, and they have the same ambitions, which are now being put into action. ”

Alain Chevalier's eyes froze, staring straight at Le Mill and asking, "Mr. Le Mill, I need more real information to make a decision." ”

Realizing that Alain Chevalier had been moved, a smile appeared on Le Mill's lips.

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

In fact, the assets of the Bright Fund exceeded more than 200 billion francs, but because Xia Yu hid the Bright Fund very deeply, and there were still many assets that had been handled, Le Mill only thought that the assets of the Bright Fund were only more than 100 billion francs.

But for most people, the difference is not big, the company with assets of more than 100 billion francs, even in France, is a proper giant, think of Moët Hennessy as a French wine giant, the market value is less than 5.9 billion francs.

Alain Chevalier's expression changed slightly, nodded and said: "I know that this company, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars is theirs, and they are still European media giants, right?"

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

Lemir smiled and nodded, "Yes, this is the company." ”

"I have already asked them to confirm that the acquisition of Moët Hennessy is just the beginning, and their goals are to be the number one in the French wine industry at the very least, and even in other areas. ”

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

Alain Chevalier was silent again, his eyes flickering incessantly, and his heart struggling violently......
