v3 Chapter 1084： Lets talk about the Lohill family first (1/2)

Paris, France is the capital of France and the political, economic, cultural, and commercial center of France. Paris is divided into 20 districts. Undoubtedly, the most prosperous area is the old central city in the northwest of Paris. Eight districts.

The Avenue des Champs-Elysées, which crosses from the famous Place de la Concorde to the Arc de Triomphe, is here, as is the Eschelles Palace, the French presidential palace.

Xia Yu's destination and future location is the central area of ​​France since ancient times.

Before he came, George Berkeley had ordered Xia Yu to buy a four-story luxury villa covering an area of ​​380 square meters in the eighth district, which cost 6 million francs.

Not only that, Xia Yu also arranged for security personnel to be stationed in advance to investigate all possible risk factors to ensure his safety in France.

Accompanying Xia Yu to his residence was Leo Martin, the head of the French branch of the Bright Fund, a 45-year-old Frenchman with more than 20 years of financial experience. It was Xia Yu who ordered George Berkeley to A strong and innocent person who is hired in France.

Luo Wang also conducted a comprehensive verification of Leo Martin's growth experience and background, and found no problems.

So on the way here, Xia Yu revealed his identity to Leo Martin, and Leo Martin became more respectful to Xia Yu.

”Boss, this is the information you want!”

After taking a seat in Xia Yu's home, Leo Martin asked one of Xia Yu's bodyguards to help open the box. He pointed to the materials filled with brown paper bags in the box and said to Xia Yu.

French is different from English and distinguishes appellations. In French, ”you” is vous and ”you” is tu.

Leo Martin, of course, used the respectful name ”you” for Xia Yu.

Xia Yu glanced at the pile of materials in the box, suddenly feeling a bit big.

But he can also imagine that Leo Martin must have spent a lot of thought to collect these materials, so he smiled and praised his work well.

”Leo, your work is very solid.”

”You give me information about the financial industry and the banking industry first, and I will look at the others later.”

After Xia Yu gave orders, Leo Martin immediately found a kraft paper bag from the box and handed it to Xia Yu.

After Xia Yu took it, he opened it and quickly browsed.

Although he has many cognitions and memories of France in this era in his mind, except for important things, other details are very vague or even absent.

In order to better lay the foundation of his career in France and accomplish the set goals, he needs to have a comprehensive understanding of the current situation in France to avoid making mistakes in strategic decisions.

The French banking system is highly concentrated, not as decentralized and diverse as the old man next door.

Because of the high concentration, French banks are clearly at the top of the world, and the middle level is not as good as other countries.

For example, this year's ”The Banker” magazine ranked the world's banks. Among the top ten banks in the world, France has only four of them. They are the world's No. 1 Agricultural Bank, the No. 4 Bank of Paris and the No. 6 Bank of Lyon And Societe Generale, the seventh largest bank in the world.

Among these four banks, the world's largest Agricultural Credit Bank is a semi-official bank, the other three are state-owned banks with more than 90% government shares, and none of them are private.

But what about the other six banks in the world's top ten?

Two are from the United States, two are from West Germany, and one is each from the United Kingdom and an island country. All six are owned by private consortia.

The difference is obvious!
