v3 Chapter 1091： $800 million spent (1/2)
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.
