Chapter 699 Vulture
Gucci-Hermès Group officially announced its acquisition of L'Oréal Group, which can be said to be the most sensational news in recent times.
This will also become the largest acquisition involving the highest amount so far this year.
When the news was first disclosed, what everyone was most concerned about was what was the attitude of the Betancourt family, the current controllers of L'Oreal Group, regarding the upcoming acquisition of L'Oreal Group by Gucci-Hermès Group?
This is so exciting for all the melon eaters...
Because many people know that France's richest woman Lilina Bettencourt and her daughter have been in court for more than a year over the control of the shares of the L'Oréal Group held by the Bettencourt family, but there is no result yet... …
If coupled with the fact that the Gucci-Hermès Group has announced that it will acquire the L'Oreal Group, then the future development of all these things will be so exciting!
As you can imagine, countless media swarmed to the Gucci-Hermès Group and the L'Oreal Group... and even directly contacted Lilinaia Bettencourt and her daughter, hoping to get the latest response.
L'Oreal Group and Lilina Bettencourt did not respond clearly to the acquisition of Gucci-Hermès Group.
They only said that they are still negotiating with the other party and will disclose more information later.
But Lilynaya Bettencourt's daughter Françoise's reaction to this was more intense.
In an interview, she claimed that her mother's current mental state is worrying and she cannot make decisions independently. Moreover, the two parties are currently in litigation regarding the control of the shares of the L'Oreal Group held by the Bettencourt family. middle.
Therefore, at this time, any decision Lilinaia Bettencourt makes regarding the acquisition of Gucci-Hermès Group should not have legal effect...
She will apply to the court to temporarily freeze the Bettencourt family's shares in L'Oréal Group and prohibit the trading of these shares before the litigation between the two parties is resolved.
In fact, even if Françoise's application is approved by the court, it will only be able to freeze the transaction of the L'Oréal Group shares held by her family for a period of time at most, and it will not prevent the Gucci-Hermès Group and the Nestlé Group from reaching an agreement. Share Transfer Agreement.
Therefore, the fact that Gucci-Hermès Group has become the majority shareholder of L'Oréal Group cannot be changed.
To put it bluntly, after Lilina Bettencourt agreed on behalf of the Bettencourt family to the transaction between Gucci-Hermès Group and Nestlé Group, Gucci-Hermès Group’s acquisition of L’Oréal Group was already inevitable.
Françoise Bettencourt Meyer can only delay this process at best, and it is already difficult to stop it.
And this time Gucci-Hermès Group's acquisition of L'Oréal Group also received financing support from Standard Chartered-Merrill Lynch, BNP Paribas and Natixis Bank, and William Weber Capital provided M\u0026A consulting services. It can be said that it has represented many companies. the will of capital.
Under such circumstances, even if the Rothschild family tried its best to help Françoise, it would probably be difficult to fight against her in the end.
And I am afraid that the Rothschild family will soon have no intention of getting involved in this matter.
After all, in addition to the new round of short-selling layout for Europe by DS Group and William Weber Capital...
Barron's and Wall Street capital including Goldman Sachs Group and JPMorgan Chase have allocated a larger amount of funds to short-sell Europe than Japan and South Korea...
Some European capital, including the Rothschild family, is the target of this harvest - what could be more tempting than blowing up such a famous family and "transferring wealth"?
"Although it has decreased after the subprime mortgage crisis, the current assets managed by LCR Rothschild Group still exceed 70 billion euros..."
As mentioned before, the Rothschild family still mainly manages their industry as a family.
The core industry is the LRC Rothschild Group. For example, NM Rothschild Bank, where Benjamin Rothschild serves as president, is a subsidiary of this group.
"It is almost impossible to directly conduct a hostile takeover of LCR Rothschild Group at present, because their family still controls more than 49% of the shares of this group..."
Daisy shook her head and said:
"And I don't think acquiring this company is a wise choice, just from a business perspective..."
"Of course we don't need to target them just to vent our anger, my dear Daisy, and eat this piece of fat..."
"But I don't think those Wall Street vultures will do this proactively. They prefer to swarm in when the other party is on the verge of death."
Barron tapped the table rhythmically and said with a smile:
"As long as there are benefits, they will not be willing to take second place."
"Now the LCR Rothschild Group's business mainly includes wealth management, mergers and acquisitions consulting and investment business..."
Daisy thought for a moment and said:
"Although we have obtained some information, we still need to know clearly their detailed asset allocation and related capital trends..."
"You'll get the information, honey."
Barron said confidently:
"Our plan needs to be carried out step by step. For example, when they have an unexpected huge loss in a certain investment, they are likely to conduct some illegal operations. When these things are exposed, we will target them. If the assets under management are targeted for short selling, I am afraid that the clients of LCR Rothschild Group will panic.”
"Like the previous Industrial Bank?"
"That would be even more disastrous than Industrial Bank..."
Daisy asked uncertainly:
"Even if we have a careful plan, how can you guarantee that those on Wall Street will not leak this information for petty profits?"
"So they don't need to know the overall plan, or even know that the Rothschild family will be one of the targets at the beginning. When our plan can be achieved even if it is only 50% progress, as long as we see the benefits , they will take the initiative to join in..."
Barron said contemptuously:
"I'm afraid that by then, even if we want to let the Rothschild family go, those Wall Street vultures will not stop, but will eat up all their flesh and blood..."
Daisy also had to admit that at this time, the Duke in front of her was very charming.
Thinking about this huge plan, Daisy was almost trembling with excitement.
"I'm looking forward to that day..."
As she spoke, Daisy lowered her head and leaned into Barron's ear:
"Barron, f**k me..."
