Early this morning, Xia Yu came to the company with Elena, where Leo Martin was already waiting.

After seeing Xia Yu and Elena, Leo Martin immediately said hello, although he once again felt that Elena was amazing, but Leo Martin did not dare to offend in the slightest, looked at Xia Yu without squinting, and reported to him about his work.

"Boss, here is a progress checklist of all the tasks you have assigned. ”

Xia Yu bowed slightly, glanced at Elena, and instructed Leo Martin, "Leo, you read it all." ”

"Okay!"

Leo Martin was stunned for a moment, immediately came back to his senses and replied respectfully, and then reported clearly.

"Boss, in the last half month, we have been the first to complete the wholly-owned acquisition of Edward Nicolas AG, which, together with the previous costs, cost a total of 532 million francs. ”

"The shareholding in the French wine company has increased to 56.7 per cent, and a general tender offer has now been issued to all shareholders, and progress is relatively smooth......

"For Pernod Ricard Group, our acquisition plan has been exposed, but we have also made a breakthrough by buying all the shares held by the second largest shareholder, the Pernod Ricard family, and now we have reached 59.9% of the shares, and we have issued a general tender offer. ”

"We are currently acquiring shares in the hands of other institutions, and at the same time we are working hard to convince them to agree to the merger of the company with LVMH, and now that the Rika Group is no longer resistant, we are continuing to negotiate that as long as the Rika family can agree, then we can control the delisting of Pernod Ricard Group. ”

"However, because of the revelation, the share price of Pernod Ricard Group has skyrocketed, and the market value has reached more than 6.38 billion francs at the close of trading yesterday, which has also greatly increased our acquisition costs. ”

"As of yesterday, we have spent a total of 3,354.4 million francs on the acquisition of the Pernod Ricard Group. ”

"As for Carrefour, we have bought three more shareholders, and we have also acquired a part of the shares in the stock market, and now we hold a total of 43.7% of Carrefour's shares, because we have not concentrated our shares, so we have not touched the line of general takeover offers, which has so far cost 2,316 million francs. ”

"We acquired Decathlon for five million francs and sixteen million francs for a total of twenty-one million francs, and Michel Relec continued to be president. ”

"We assisted Rolls-Royce Motor Cars in the acquisition of 15.1 percent of the Michelin Group at a cost of 1.115 billion francs. ”

"Assisted Rolls-Royce Motor Cars in its acquisition of a 20% stake in Plastic Omnium at a cost of 385 million francs. ”

"Boss, that's all there is to it. ”

After speaking, Leo Martin put down the materials and looked at Xia Yu quietly.

Xia Yu touched his chin and thought for a moment, then said to Elena: "Elena, the equity of Michelin Group and Plastic Omnium Group is enough to support the role of strategic cooperation, and people from the company can talk about cooperation in the afternoon." ”

"Hmm!"

"Rolls-Royce Motor Cars will be able to get the best price as the majority shareholder of both companies. ”

Elena said with a delightful smile.

Xia Yu smiled back, then put his eyes on Leo Martin, and instructed him: "Leo, the equity of Carrefour is enough, you can stop, but Pernod Ricard Group and French Wine Company, you must complete the acquisition in the next half month." ”

"Don't delay any longer, it doesn't matter if you raise the purchase price, if you continue to drag it back, the acquisition cost will be higher!"

"Understood!

Leo Martin replied decisively.

"Go ahead, come on!"

After Leo Martin left, Xia Yu and Elena went to the French branch of Rolls-Royce Motor Cars to listen to their cooperation plan and give some instructions.

The negotiation was led by Elena herself, Xia Yu wanted Elena not to go, but Elena insisted on refusing, Xia Yu could only tell her not to be so stressed.

......

In the next few days, the news about the Bright Fund was flying all over the sky, and the popularity of the Bright Fund skyrocketed again.

When many people mention Bright Fund, their first impression is that the company is very strong, and the second impression is that it is so rich!

A series of dazzling mergers and acquisitions not only blinded the eyes of the melon-eating masses, but also shocked peers.

The amount of funds in the Bright Fund is too abundant, according to the statistics of well-intentioned people, from January to now, the Bright Fund has spent at least more than 15 billion francs!

The total assets of many financial companies in Paris are not so much, but the Bright Fund has spent so much in a short period of time, which makes people feel like they are looking up to the mountains.

On March 19, Xia Yu received secret information from the net again.

Intelligence indicates that a group of scrap hardware merchants hired by the Argentine authorities forcibly landed on South Georgia, located 1,390 kilometers east of the Falklands, where they set up camp and raised the Argentine flag.

Seeing this information, Xia Yu immediately relieved himself.

The president of the Argentine junta, an engineer with a head full of muscles, really did not disappoint him!

And after obtaining this information, Xia Yu also put the plan to return to London on the agenda.

Knowing that his boss is leaving France, Leo Martin's pressure increases dramatically, and his passion for work explodes again, and he hopes to prove his ability by putting the tasks assigned by his boss to a successful end before he leaves France.

Sure enough, on March 21, the French wine company was given an absolute controlling stake by the Bright Fund, and then the acquisition was completely unimpeded.

On March 35, LVMH, the French wine company, Pernod Ricard and Edwards Nicolas AG completed the merger on paper in the midst of all the attention, and the LVMH group held a press conference to announce that the continuation of the merger at the practical level, such as the integration between similar departments, will take a long time to complete, which is the case of Alain Chevalier and Leo Martin.

As a result of the merger, LVMH's total assets exceeded 20 billion francs, bringing the company's valuation to 19.44 billion francs.

After the merger, the total share capital of the LVMH Group soared to 216.37 million shares, and the Bright Fund held 196.93 million shares, accounting for 91.01% of the total share capital, which was more than one point lower than before the merger, but more than 90% of the shares were still enough to make the Bright Fund the supreme master of the LVMH Group.

The second largest shareholder of the LVMH group has become the Rica family, holding 4.61% of the shares.

The Vuitton family, the second largest shareholder, held 4.11 percent of the shares, which is not much less than that of the Riga family.

Before leaving France, Xia Yu decided to visit François Mitterrand again and bid him farewell.

......

"Xia Yu, is it okay for me to wear this dress?"

At Xia Yu's house, Elena wore a set of luxurious and beautiful dresses, turned around in front of Xia Yu, and looked at Xia Yu expectantly.

Xia Yu exclaimed: "Of course you can, this dress fits your figure perfectly, it is really my princess, always so charming!"

A flush appeared on Elena's face, and she said happily, "Then I'll wear this set." ”

"Hmm!"

"It's getting late, let's go!"

"Okay!"

After speaking, Xia Yu took Elena's hand and sat in the back seat of the Rolls-Royce car after going out.

There were guard cars in the front and back to protect the car Xia Yu was sitting in the middle, and the convoy slowly drove away from Xia Yu's luxury villa in the afterglow of the sunset.

About twenty minutes later, the convoy arrived at François Mitterrand's home.

And François Mitterrand, who had been informed in advance, walked out of the door to greet Xia Yu.

When he saw Xia Yu get out of the car and gentlemanly took out a beautiful girl from the car, François Mitterrand said in surprise: "Mr. Xia, don't you introduce this beautiful lady to me?"

"Mr. Mitterrand, this is my girlfriend Elena!"

Xia Yu glanced at Elena gently and introduced generously.

Elena didn't expect Xia Yu to introduce herself as his girlfriend in front of the French president, she was unprepared and stunned by this huge surprise, and endless sweetness rose in her heart.

But he is a beautiful lady, etiquette and upbringing have been deeply rooted in her soul, she has a happy smile on her face, and politely greets François Mitterrand: "Hello, Mr. Mitterrand, I am Elena Howard, from Norfolk, England, and it is an honor to meet you!"

François Mitterrand smiled and replied: "Hello, beautiful Lady Elena. ”

"Mr. Xia, I'm a little jealous of you, being able to have such a noble and beautiful partner!"

He joked to Xia Yu again.

Xia Yu smiled and said jokingly: "Mr. Mitterrand, I am also jealous of you, you and your wife have spent the war with you, and you have been in love until now. ”

"Haha......"

François Mitterrand couldn't help but smile knowingly.

He glanced at the boxes that Xia Yu's bodyguard had moved out of the trunk of the car, and asked, "Mr. Xia, did you bring a gift here?"

Xia Yu smiled: "I brought some small gifts, some time ago, I happened to buy Romanée Conti Winery and Latour Winery, and found that there are many good wines with vintages in them, I thought that I need to share some good things with good friends, so I brought some to you." ”

François Mitterrand's eyes lit up and said to Xia Yu: "I haven't drunk top wine yet, it seems that I can taste it tonight." ”

"Mr. Xia, thank you for your kindness!"

"Let's go inside!"

Then, Xia Yu and the others walked to the house.

Boxes of wine were moved into the house by François Mitterrand's guards and Xia Yu's bodyguards.

That night, the atmosphere in the house was very harmonious, and there was laughter and laughter from time to time......

Early the next morning, Xia Yu and Elena boarded the plane back to London.
