v3 Chapter 1107： The value of lvmh group exceeded RMB 0 billion

Although in his previous life, Xia Yu knew that the Romani Conti winery produced only 600 bottles of wine in 1945, but he didn't know how many really left behind before he bought it. Unexpectedly, there would be four hundred and twenty bottles. !

The wine of this vintage is not only of very high quality, but also very rare in quantity. In addition, the subsequent six consecutive years of suspension of production have increased its rarity and legend.

Even if the quality of the 1945 Romani Conti wine is not the best, other factors alone are worthy of speculation by collectors!

Thinking of later generations in 2018, a bottle of 1945 Romani Conti sold a price of 3.86 million yuan, and now these 420 bottles are well-hyped in later generations, and they can be worth two to three billion US dollars.

Seeing the end, the list is as of 1978, the storage quantity is 6,589 bottles, and the harvest and brewing time is October 22.

Xia Yu remembered that the quality of the Romani Conti wines of this year was extremely high, and the world's evaluation of this year's wines was also extremely high.

Xia Yu asked André Noble, "Old Noble, was the wine from the 1970s the best quality in 1978?"

André Noble nodded and said, "Boss, the weather in the 1970s was generally bad. 1978 was the best year in that decade. The cold weather in spring and early summer that year caused the vines to bloom late. The weather did not improve until August. Fortunately, the weather was relatively good throughout the autumn, allowing the grapes to fully mature, but the picking time was also delayed a lot, from October 16 to October 22."

"Although it takes more than ten years for wine to ferment to make the taste stable, but based on my many years of experience, the quality of the wine in 1978 is indeed excellent. Although it is not the best vintage in the history of the winery, it is also the peak. Batch."

"Well, I got it!"

Xia Yu smiled and nodded, then closed the register, and said to André Noble: "Take me to see the wines that have been stored for one or two hundred years, and the batch from 1945."

"Ok!"

After speaking, Andre Noble took Xia Yu and left the registration room.

After watching the lunch, Xia Yu also opened the oldest wine from 1754 that he brought out. Everyone present shared some of them, which surprised Curtis Dubois. Where did he drink this kind of wine? Two hundred years of wine?

He couldn't help secretly saying that this time it was worth coming with the boss.

Everyone tastes this wine carefully, because the most taboo of old wine is to constantly shake the glass, which will greatly affect the taste of the wine.

Especially the winemaker Andre Noble, tasted this bottle of wine with a pilgrimage mentality, as if this bottle of wine was his belief, which made Xia Yu moved.

This should be a belief passed down by a top winemaker's family!

However, I have to say that the wines that are qualified to store 228 years are definitely the best batch of quality, otherwise they would not be able to stay now.

After more than two hundred years of precipitation, it is difficult to say whether the taste of the wine has passed the peak period, but the entrance is soft, the taste is quite full, and the aftertaste is long and the depth is quite outstanding. Xia Yu feels much better than the 1787 Lafite taste. Up!

After lunch, Xia Yu left Andre Noble and gave him an order that all the wines before 1900 were kept tightly sealed, and no one could take a bottle without his order.

Then the 1945 batch will no longer be sold.

He will arrange for someone to be responsible for the specific operation.

When leaving, Xia Yu took out a list of the wines he was going to take away, and asked André Noble to pack the wines. After a while, he would send someone over to use a civilian helicopter. take away.

The 1,000 bottles of wine on this list will be divided into four batches and shipped to London, Paris, San Francisco, and Hong Kong, of which 600 bottles will be shipped to Hong Kong.

Because aged wine is most afraid of shaking, Xia Yu intends to transport it by air, even the distance from Burgundy to Paris is transported by civilian helicopter.

For this batch of wine, what a little shipping is worth!

Within two days after returning home, George Berkeley reported to him the results, and Chateau Latour was wholly bought for 120 million pounds.

For Chateau Latour, Xia Yu’s attitude is even more different, because compared to the average annual output of Chateau Latour 6,000, the annual output of Chateau Latour is as high as 200,000, which is suitable for Romani · Kandi's lower high-end market.

Therefore, Chateau Latour will be the main force in selling high-end red wine.

Therefore, Xia Yu asked George Berkeley to transfer all the equity of Chateau Latour to the French Bright Fund, and then immediately notified Alain Chevalier that Chateau Latour was incorporated into the lvmh group.

As a wine giant, lvmh Group not only needs to occupy a major position in the mid-range market, but also needs to have high-quality wines to enhance brand value. Chateau Latour, as the second of the five famous chateaus on the left bank of Bordeaux, is fully qualified!

I still remember that in the previous life in 1998, under the leadership of Bernard Arnold, the lvmh Group took a high price in the White Horse Chateau. Although the White Horse Chateau is also one of the top ten famous chateaus in France, it is still slightly inferior to the Chateau Latour.

What's more, the difference between simply investing in shares and wholly owning a top-tier famous dealer!

Although it is a merger, Chateau Latour is still produced independently, but will be incorporated into the company in terms of sales and operations.

Therefore, it is undoubtedly a very simple matter to only merge from the equity in advance.

Although the Vuitton family can no longer interfere with the decision-making of the lvmh group, Alain Chevalier also respected them and convened an interim board of directors.

Although pure stock mergers and acquisitions will once again reduce their own shareholding ratio, considering that they have lost management rights, the Vuitton family also expressed support for the incorporation of top quality assets such as Chateau Latour into the group.

After the Bright Fund came up with the purchase contract, the value of Chateau Latour was calculated based on the purchase price.

One hundred and twenty million pounds, after conversion based on real-time exchange rates, is 1.292 billion francs.

Lvmh Group acquired Latour Chateau by way of purely additional shares. The original value of Lvmh Group was 8.8 billion francs, with a total share capital of 100 million shares and a single share value of 88 francs.

Therefore, the company issued 14.7 million new shares to Bright Fund. All the shares of UU Reading Latour Chateau were transferred from Bright Fund to lvmh Group, and the value of lvmh Group soared to 100 92 million francs, finally breaking through the tens of billions mark!

After the completion of the private placement of mergers and acquisitions, the total share capital of the lvmh group is 114,700,000 shares, and the Bright Fund holds 105.23 million shares of the lvmh group, accounting for 91% of the total share capital The ratio of 74 to 74 has increased by 1.21%.

The Vuitton family’s shareholding ratio dropped from 8.9% to 7.76%.

The hidden Henry Rigamer’s shareholding ratio dropped from 0.568% to 0.495%.

After the acquisition of Chateau Latour, Xia Yu still felt that the lvmh group needed to continue to strengthen.

It just so happens that Bright Fund's acquisition plan for the Bussac Group is progressing very smoothly.

Wait until Wednesday, February 24, when the strike of the Busac Group intensifies.

The market value of the Bussac Group fell to around 310 million francs.

Bright Fund, a major shareholder with a 5% shareholding ratio, suddenly began to aggressively absorb stocks in the stock market without any concealment.

After the news spread, Bright Fund had already taken in a large amount of equity and increased its shareholding ratio to 7.5%.

The Bosac Group’s stock price also began to rise. By the end of the afternoon, the stock price had risen by 26.4% from the opening price in the morning, a significant increase, and the market value was fixed at 392 million francs.

But just as many stockholders and certain institutions were analyzing the purpose of the Bright Fund’s actions, those who were still staying at the Paris Stock Exchange were shocked by the sudden news.
