Chapter 1091: $800 Million Is Worth It

Suddenly receiving such a huge amount of information really needs to calm down.

But Rao is that Alain Chevalier has reached the age of knowing his destiny, and he has gone through the ups and downs of politics and business. In the face of Xia Yu's easy-to-touch pie, he still can't calm down in a very short period of time.

This flatbread is so real and so delicious!

a long time……

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 corner of Xia Yu's mouth was slightly raised, and his eyes met Alain Chevalier before he said: "It's December 19th, and there are only 12 days left until 1982. I hope that within the next year, I will rely on A series of acquisitions have achieved a leading position in the wine industry and luxury goods. If it can be completed earlier, such as half a year, such as three months, then of course it will be better, we will have more time to slowly integrate and stabilize the market. status."

"Mr. Alain Chevalier, how are you, would you like to take part in all this yourself?"

After a moment of silence, Alain Chevalier smiled wryly, spread his hands and said, "Mr. Xia, I can't seem to find a reason to refuse."

Xia Yu smiled and extended his hand to him.

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

"Welcome to join!"

"It's my pleasure!"

After letting go of his hand, Alain Chevalier suddenly showed an embarrassed 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 professional ethics."

"Speaking!"

Xia Yu smiled and made a please gesture.

"Although I have made Moët Hennessy Wine Group, the Moët family has made me too. The main reason why I did not refuse after Mr. Le Mill approached me for negotiation, but proposed to meet with you, is that the main reason is The attitude of the Moët family itself towards the company, the owner of this generation is not interested in running the company, and he values ​​money more, which is why the Moët family asked me to run the company.”

"So whether it is to continue to run the company to obtain dividends, or to transfer equity to obtain huge funds at one time, it is all right for the Moet family."

"But I am now the president of Moët Hennessy Wine Group after all. The Moët family has trusted me, and I can't harm their interests. Therefore, it is not convenient for me to intervene in the acquisition. You or BNP Paribas need 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 Moet family to him, so he didn't want to harm the interests of the Moet family, but the Hennessy family had no kindness to him.

The reason why Moët & Chandon Group led the acquisition of Hennessy was because Hennessy was in a dilemma.

In the 1960s, Hennessy's share of the global brandy market reached its peak, accounting for more than half, and then it began to flourish and decline continuously, resulting in a decline in the stock price. the risk of the warehouse, and he pushed for the merger of the two companies after hearing from Le Mill.

It can be said that he saved the Hennessy family.

But Jill Hennessy, the head of the Hennessy family, is a man 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 put people in the company. The purpose is to Compete for the right to operate the Moët Hennessy wine group.

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

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 lower the price of the Moet family,

Then he will be very embarrassed...

Not only did Xia Yu not get angry at the request made by Alain Chevalier, on the contrary, he showed admiration, and his impression of him was even better.

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

If Alain Chevalier would take the initiative to help him with the Moët family now, he might come to cheat him in the future, but he wouldn't dare to use it with confidence. When facing a multinational conglomerate, such a person would be an extremely unstable factor. .

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

Alain Chevalier breathed a sigh of relief, a smile appeared 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 chuckled: "I believe in your ability!"

...

After securing Alain Chevalier, the acquisition team of BNP Paribas went directly to the Moët family.

The Moët family urgently asked Alain Chevalier to discuss countermeasures. The latter did not express an opinion, but objectively analyzed the relationship between the pros and cons, and then handed the decision back to the Moët family.

The National Bank of Paris also made full use of its resources, starting from other industries of the Moët family, especially the fields that the current owner of the Moët family is interested in to exchange resources, and the price is also very favorable.

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

On the Bright Fund side, the Franc offensive also broke down the psychological bottom line of the Brande family step by step, and transferred the equity to the Bright Fund without notifying the Weedon family.

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

The first is Moët Hennessy Wine Group.

The acquisition of the 2.4 percent stake held by the Moët family cost 2,228 million francs.

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

Then there is the Louis Vuitton Group, which cost 389 million francs to acquire the 15.9 percent stake held by the Brande family.

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

But as long as you achieve your goals, it's worth the money!

...

In the Bright Fund conference room.

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

Leo Martin reported the latest situation to Xia Yu.

Success has been achieved one after another, and it has occupied an absolute advantage, which makes Leo Martin happy, and the voice of the report is a lot lighter.

"Boss, now our company, Standard Chartered Bank and National Bank of Paris, the total equity of Moet Hennessy Wine Group has reached 70%."

"The remaining Hennessy family holds 17.5 percent, and institutional and retail investors hold 12.5 percent."

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

"Because we purchased a total of 6.7% of the equity of Moet Hennessy Wine Group from institutions and hands two days ago, according to the rules, we need to publicly disclose the equity tomorrow..."

After listening to Leo Martin's report, Xia Yu nodded slightly, glanced at 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 milestones."

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

"And starting from tomorrow, everything can only depend on us. The workload will increase a lot, and unknown risks still exist. Everyone must adjust their mentality..."

"Tomorrow morning, we will take back all the shares held by Standard Chartered Bank and National Bank of Paris on behalf of them, and then publicly disclose them 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 a suspension of trading, and at the same time arrange for someone to enter the Moet Hennessy Wine Group to take over."

"In addition, start the equity acquisition of the Hennessy family and the Vuitton family."

"Leo, you are responsible for grouping the people present. If there is a shortage of manpower, you must replenish them in time. You must act on time tomorrow."

"Do you understand?"

When he said the last sentence, Xia Yu deliberately raised the volume and swept his sharp eyes to everyone.

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

"Does anyone have any questions?"

Xia Yu asked again.

He glanced around, and after finding that no one had spoken, he immediately announced the meeting.

"If you don't, the meeting will be dismissed!"

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

After he's gone, Leo Martin begins work detailing...

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