Chapter 1091 - Eight Hundred Million Dollars Worth Spending (First Vote)

Suddenly receiving such a large amount of information, it is really necessary to calm down.

But Rao is Alain Shevalier has reached the age of knowing the destiny of heaven, and has also experienced the ups and downs of politics and business, and in the face of Xia Yu's tentacle pie, he still can't calm down in a very short time.

This flatbread is so real and so delicious!

Long......

Alain Chevalier took a deep breath, suppressed the last trace of turmoil in his heart, and solemnly asked the most crucial question: "Mr. Xia, how long do you plan to complete these plans?"

The corners of Xia Yu's mouth raised slightly, and his eyes met Alain Chevalier's, and then he said: "It is December 19th, and there are still twelve days before 1982, I hope that within the next year, I will rely on a series of acquisitions to achieve a leading position in the field of wine and luxury goods, if it can be completed earlier, such as half a year, such as three months, then of course it is better, we will have more time to slowly integrate and precipitate, and stabilize the market position." ”

"Mr. Alain Chevalier, how is it, would you like to be personally involved in all this?"

Alain Chevalier was silent for a moment before smiling bitterly, spreading out his hands and saying, "Mr. Xia, I don't seem to be able to find a reason to refuse. ”

Xia Yu smiled and stretched out his hand to him.

Alain Chevalier stretched out his hand and shook it with Xia Yu a few times.

"You're welcome to join us!"

"It's my pleasure!"

After putting down his hand, Alain Chevalier suddenly showed a confused expression, as if he had something to say.

Xia Yu took the initiative to ask: "Mr. Alain Chevalier, do you still have any difficulties?"

Alain Chevalier nodded slightly, took a deep breath and said:

"Mr. Xia, I have something to say, which involves my principles and work ethic. ”

"Please!"

Xia Yu smiled and made a gesture of please.

"Although I have made the Moët Hennessy Wine Group, the Moët & Chandon family has also made me, and the main reason why I did not refuse after Mr. Le Mill approached me, but offered to meet with you, is the attitude of the Moët & Chandon family towards the company itself, this generation of owners is not interested in running the company, he values money more, which is why the Moët & Chandon family asked me to run the company. ”

"So whether it is to continue to run the company by me to obtain dividends, or to transfer equity to obtain a huge amount of money at one time, it is okay for the Moët & Chandon family. ”

"But I am now the president of Moët Hennessy after all, and the Moët family has placed their trust in me, and I cannot harm their interests, so it is inconvenient for me to intervene in the acquisition, and I need you or BNP Paribas to negotiate. ”

"Of course, if it is to acquire the equity of the Hennessy family, I will fully cooperate. ”

"In the next work, I will also do my best!"

He remembered the kindness of the Moët family to him, so he did not want to harm the interests of the Moët family, but the Hennessy family had no kindness to him.

The reason why he led the acquisition of Hennessy by the Moët & Chant Group was because Hennessy was in a predicament.

In the sixties, Hennessy's share of the global brandy market peaked, accounting for more than half, and then began to flourish and decline, causing the share price to fall with it, and the shares that the Hennessy family had pledged to the National Bank of Paribas were at risk of being liquidated, and he got the news from Le Mill and pushed for the merger of the two companies.

It can be said that he saved the Hennessy family.

However, the head of the Hennessy family, Jill Hennessy, was a man of great control and ambition, so after the company stabilized, he began to use dividends and other funds to increase his shareholding little by little, and installed people in the company, in order to compete for the right to operate the Moët Hennessy wine group.

The internal strife took some of his energy and disgusted him at the same time.

So he wished that Xia Yu would buy the shares of the Hennessy family and clean up the Hennessy family......

On the contrary, if Xia Yu asked him to help suppress the price of the Moët family, then he would be very embarrassed......

For Alain Shevalier's request, Xia Yu not only did not get angry, but showed an appreciative gaze, and his impression of him was even better.

With this kind of character and values, he can use it more confidently.

If Alain Chevalier will take the initiative to help him pit the Moët family now, then maybe he will come to pit him in the future, he doesn't dare to use it with confidence, this kind of person will be an extremely unstable factor in the face of multinational conglomerates.

He smiled and nodded and said: "Of course there is no problem, I support your attitude, the acquisition of the equity of the Moët & Chandon family will be completed by the National Bank of Paris, and during this period, you can temporarily control the company." ”

Alain Chevalier breathed a sigh of relief, a smile appeared on his face, and he readily agreed: "Mr. Xia, thank you for your understanding. ”

"Rest assured, the company will not be in turmoil!"

Xia Yu chuckled, "I believe in your ability!"

......

After acquiring Alain Chevalier, the acquisition team of BNP Paribas approached the Moët & Chandon family directly.

The Moët & Chandon family urgently approached Alain Chevalier to discuss countermeasures, but the latter did not express an opinion, but objectively analyzed the pros and cons, and then returned the decision to the Moët family.

BNP Paribas has also made full use of its resources to exchange resources from other properties of the Moët & Chandon family, especially the areas of interest of the current head of the Moët & Chandon family, and the price is also very favorable.

As a result, the Moët & Chandon family readily agreed to transfer its shares.

On the side of the Bright Fund, it also used the franc offensive to break down the psychological bottom line of the Blond family step by step, and transferred the equity to the Bright Fund without notifying the Vuitton family.

After a week-long period of operation, Xia Yu's second phase of the offensive achieved the expected results.

First of all, Moët Hennessy Wine Group.

The acquisition of 21.4 percent of the shares held by the Moët & Chandon family cost 2,228 million francs.

Then the National Bank of Paris and the Bright Fund each acquired a total of 11.8 percent of the shares from other institutions at a total cost of 932 million francs.

Then there is the Louis Vuitton Group, which bought 15.9 percent of the shares held by the Blond family at a cost of 389 million francs.

So in the second stage, Xia Yu spent a total of 3.549 billion francs, which is equivalent to almost 800 million dollars!

But once you've completed your goal, it's worth it!

......

In the conference room of the Bright Fund.

Xia Yu, Leo Martin and the acquisition team came together.

Leo Martin updates Xia Yu on the current situation.

The successes and dominance of the successes and dominance of the situation have made Leo Martin happy, and the reports are much lighter.

"Boss, the total equity of Moët Hennessy Group, which is held by our company, Standard Chartered Bank and BNP Paribas, has reached 70%. ”

"The Hennessy family is left with 17.5 percent of the shares and 12.5 percent from institutional and retail investors. ”

"As for the Louis Vuitton Group, we already own 58.8 percent, and the remaining 41.2 percent is in the hands of the Vuitton family. ”

"Because we bought a total of 6.7% of the shares of Moët Hennessy from institutions and hands two days ago, according to the rules, we need to make a public disclosure of the shares tomorrow......"

After listening to Leo Martin's report, Xia Yu bowed slightly, his eyes swept over everyone's faces, and praised: "Thank you for your hard work during this time!"

"With the joint efforts of everyone, this acquisition has achieved great phased results. ”

"But we also have to recognize that in the first two phases, in addition to our company, we also relied on the National Bank of Paris to play a huge role. ”

"From tomorrow onwards, everything will be on our own, the workload will increase a lot, unknown risks still exist, and everyone must adjust their mentality......"

"Early tomorrow morning, we will take back all the shares held by Standard Chartered Bank and BNP Paribas National Bank, and then publicly disclose them to the outside world, and after disclosure, we will directly apply for suspension of trading as an absolute controlling major shareholder and the reason that the outstanding shares are less than 25%, and at the same time arrange for someone to enter Moët Hennessy Wine Group to take over. ”

In addition, the acquisition of shares in the Hennessy and Vuitton families was initiated. ”

"Leo, you are responsible for grouping the personnel present, and if you lack manpower to replenish in time, you must act on time tomorrow. ”

"Do you understand?"

When he said the last sentence, Xia Yu deliberately raised his voice, and his sharp gaze swept towards everyone.

Everyone in the room raised their heads and responded loudly: "Understood!"

"Does anyone have any doubts?"

Xia Yu asked again.

After glancing around, and finding that no one had expressed his position, he directly announced the adjournment of the meeting.

"If not, the meeting will be dismissed!"

After speaking, Xia Yu left the conference room with steady steps.

After he was gone, Leo Martin began to refine his work......

PS: The first update is sent, I wish you all a happy weekend!
