v3 Chapter 1091： $800 million spent

To receive such a huge amount of information suddenly, you really need to calm down.

But Rao Alan Chevalier has reached the age of knowing the destiny, and has also experienced the ups and downs of politics and business. Faced with the touchable pie drawn by Xia Yu, he still couldn't calm down in a very short time.

This flatbread is too real and delicious!

a long time……

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

The corner of Xia Yu’s mouth raised slightly, and his eyes met Alan Chevalier. Then he said, “It’s December 19th, and there are only twelve days before 1982. I hope that within next year, I will rely on A series of acquisitions have achieved a leading position in the wine and luxury industries. If it can be completed earlier, such as half a year, such as three months, then of course it would be better. We have more time to slowly integrate and settle and stabilize the market. status."

"Mr. Alain Chevalier, how about it, would you like to participate in all this yourself?"

After a moment of silence, Alain Chevalier smiled bitterly, opened his hands and said, "Mr. Xia, I can't seem to find a reason for rejection."

Xia Yu smiled and stretched out a hand to him.

Alan Chevalier reached out and shook Xia Yu's hand a few times.

"Welcome to join!"

"It's my honor!"

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

Xia Yu asked, "Mr. Alain Chevalier, do you 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 professional ethics."

"please say!"

Xia Yu smiled and made a please gesture.

"Although I have made Moët Hennessy Wine Group, the Moët Family has also made me. The main reason why I did not refuse after Mr. Le Mire approached me to discuss, but proposed to meet you, is the main reason The Moët family’s attitude towards the company itself, the owner of this generation is not interested in running the company. He values ​​money more. This is why the Moët family will ask me to run the company.”

"So whether it is to continue to run the company to obtain dividends, or to transfer equity to obtain a large amount of capital, it is okay for the Moët family."

"But I am the president of the Moët Hennessy Wine Group after all. The Moët Family has given me trust, and I can't harm their interests. Therefore, it is not convenient for me to intervene in the acquisition. 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 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 the Moet & Chancellor Group had led the acquisition of Hennessy was because Hennessy was in a dilemma.

In the 1960s, Hennessy's share in the global brandy market reached its peak, occupying more than half, and then it began to flourish and decline continuously, causing the stock price to decline, and the shares of the Hennessy family mortgaged to BNP Paribas were flattened. After he got the news from Le Mire, he pushed for the merger of the two companies.

It can be said that he saved the Hennessy family.

However, Jill Hennessy, the head of the Hennessy family, is a person with strong desire for control and ambition. So after the company stabilized, he began to use dividends and other funds to increase his shareholding little by little, and to put people in the company for the purpose of Compete for the right to operate the Moet Hennessy Wine Group.

The internal fighting involved some of his energy and also made him very disgusted.

So he was anxious that Xia Yu bought the shares of the Hennessy family and cleared the Hennessy family out...

On the contrary, if Xia Yu asks him to help lower the price of the Mo Yue family, then he will be very embarrassed...

Not only was Xia Yu not angry at the request made by Alain Chevalier, but he showed admiration, and he had a better impression of him in his heart.

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

If Alain Chevalier would take the initiative to help him cheat the Moet Yue family, he might come to cheat him in the future. He dare not rest assured. In the face of a large multinational consortium, this kind of person will be an extremely unstable factor. .

He smiled and nodded and said, “Of course it’s okay. I support your attitude. The acquisition of the Moet’s family’s equity will be completed by BNP Paribas. During this period, you can temporarily stabilize the company.”

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

"Please rest assured that the company will never fall into turmoil!"

Xia Yu smiled lightly: "I believe in your ability!"

...

After getting Alain Chevalier, the acquisition team of BNP Paribas directly approached the Moët family.

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

And BNP Paribas also makes full use of resources, starting from other industries of the Moët family, especially in the fields of interest to the current owners of the Moët family, to exchange resources, plus the price is very good.

Therefore, the Moetley family readily agreed to transfer the equity.

On the Bright Fund side, the French offensive also broke down the psychological bottom line of the Brand family step by step. Without informing the Vuitton family, the equity was transferred to the Bright Fund.

After the one-week action period ended, Xia Yu's second-stage offensive achieved the expected results.

First is the Moet Hennessy Wine Group.

The purchase of 21.4% of the shares held by the Moet & Yue family cost 2.228 million francs.

Then BNP Paribas and the Bright Fund acquired a total of 11.8% equity from other institutions, costing a total of 932 million francs.

Then there is the Louis Vuitton Group. The acquisition of 15.9% of the equity held by the Brand family cost 389 million francs.

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

But as long as the goal is completed, the money is worth it!

...

In the meeting room of the Bright Fund.

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

Leo Martin reports the latest situation to Xia Yu.

Successive successes have been achieved, and they have already occupied an absolute advantage, which makes Leo Martin's heart happy, and his reporting voice is much lighter.

"Boss, now our company, Standard Chartered Bank and BNP Paribas held on behalf of the Moët Hennessy Wine Group's total equity has reached 70%."

"The Hennessy family holds 17.5%, and institutions and retail investors hold 12.5%."

"As for the Louis Vuitton Group, we already hold 58.8%, and the remaining 41.2% of the equity is in the hands of the Vuitton family."

"Because we purchased a total of 6.7% of the equity of Moët Hennessy Wine Group from institutions and hands two days ago. According to the rules, the equity will need to be publicly disclosed tomorrow..."

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

"With everyone's joint efforts, this acquisition has achieved huge phased results."

"But we must also realize that in the first two stages, in addition to our company, it also relied on BNP Paribas to play a huge role."

"From tomorrow on, everything will be on our own. The workload will increase a lot. Unknown risks will still exist. Everyone must adjust their mentality..."

"Early tomorrow morning, we will take back all the equity held by Standard Chartered Bank and BNP Paribas on behalf of the Bank, and then disclose it to the public. After the disclosure, as the absolute controlling shareholder and the reason why the outstanding shares are less than 25%, Directly apply for suspension, and arrange for someone to enter the Moët Hennessy Wine Group to take over."

"In addition, the acquisition of the shares of the Hennessy family and the Vuitton family was initiated."

"Leo, you are responsible for grouping the people present. The lack of manpower to supplement in time, you must act on time tomorrow."

"Do you understand?"

When saying the last sentence, Xia Yu deliberately increased the volume, and his sharp eyes swept at everyone.

Everyone present raised their heads upright and responded loudly: "Understood!"

"Does anyone have any questions?"

Xia Yu asked again.

He glanced around and found that no one had expressed his opinion, he directly declared the meeting adjourned.

"The meeting ends if not!"

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

After he left, Leo Martin began to refine his work...

PS: The first one is here, I wish you a happy weekend!
