Chapter 756 GHL Group

In fact, with Barron's status at this time, if he just liked beautiful women, then he could treat the most beautiful women that ordinary people can see every day until he vomits.

But this kind of happiness is certainly what many people dream of, but at this time, Barron's even needs to control things.

What's more, for a man, the satisfaction he can get from conquering the world is far better than conquering women...

Even by the most demanding standards, Ashley Weber can be regarded as a beauty that far exceeds the standard.

What's more, she is a very important partner of Barron.

Yes, after receiving most of the Rothschild family's "legacy" in the financial field, Barron's influence has successfully penetrated into European countries, especially France and Germany.

Among them, the Weber family represented by Ashley Weber is a very important partner of Barron's in France.

After all, France is often wary of foreign capital, so it needs local forces like the Weber family to cooperate to achieve its goals.

But now it seems that Ashley Webb is not only satisfied with being the representative of the Webb family at Barron, but hopes to truly serve as the manager of William Webb Capital.

As for what she proposed, hoping to have a child with Barron, how much of it was emotional...

Barron didn't care too much, and after considering it, he accepted her proposal.

After all, as she said, such a result can indeed make the bond between them deeper.

The connection between interests will be very strong, but how to ensure that the interests are always consistent?

If it were this easy to do, there wouldn't be so much betrayal.

If Ashley Weber always regards herself as a member of the Weber family, then it is obvious that although the cooperation between the two parties is very harmonious now, there will always be times when Barron's interests are inconsistent with those of the Weber family in the future. Through mutual compromise, a result can be achieved that is acceptable to everyone.

But it is also possible that as conflicts expand, they may turn into enemies.

Now through this combination between the two of them, it can indeed add some guarantees to this cooperation. Even if it cannot guarantee consistency, at least it will have more choices.

And William Weber Capital itself is Barron's layout in the French financial industry. It also has layouts in other industries, such as the Gucci-Hermès Group in the fashion industry...

Well, it should now be called Gucci-Hermes-L'Oreal Group, that is, GHL Group (Gucci-Hermes-L'Oreal).

Because at this time, the Gucci-Hermès Group had completed the acquisition of the L'Oreal Group and changed its name to the GHL Group. They already held 69% of the shares of the L'Oreal Group, and the other 31% of the shares were still retained in the hands of the Bettencourt family.

However, according to their agreement with the Bettencourt family, the L'Oréal Group will still have the Bettencourt family enter its management and operate.

But if Liliane Betancourt loses control of the Bettencourt family, then the GHL Group will only reserve no more than two board seats for the Bettencourt family in the L'Oréal Group.

What is different from the original time and space is that in the internal litigation of the Betancourt family, Lilian Bettencourt did not fall behind after gaining new support, and still controlled the Bettencourt family's holdings. of shares.

Both Barron and Ashley Weber understand that what GHL Group needs now is just to wait.

After all, Lillian Bettencourt is already old. It may be difficult for her to continue leading the L'Oreal Group in a few years. By then, it will be a matter of course for the GHL Group to take back the power of the L'Oreal Group.

…

"Are you going to see Sarkozy today?"

Under the morning light, Ashley's face looked a little lazy. She watched Barron walk out of the bathroom, wiped his hair, started to put on his shirt, and asked.

"Yes, we have made an appointment to meet and we will talk to him about some things today..."

"Are you coming again tonight?"

Seeing that Ashley did not ask any more questions about his meeting with Lao Sa, Barron was very satisfied. He stroked Ashley's hair:

"As long as you feel you can still bear it, then wait for me at home..."

The meeting between Barron and Lao Sa was regarded as a private meeting. During this meeting, some of Barron's investments in France were of course mentioned...

In addition, Barron also discussed two things with Lao Sa.

The first is that he is helping Brown seek the position of Asian correspondent of the European Investment Bank, hoping to gain Lao Sa's support in this regard.

The European Investment Bank (EIB) was established in 1958 as a lending institution of the European Union and is currently one of the largest multilateral financial institutions in the world.

Since 2006, the European Investment Bank has obtained the unanimous consent of European finance ministers to start financing projects outside the EU, and Asia is currently one of the main markets for the European Investment Bank to provide external financing. As the European Investment Bank's Asia As a special correspondent, he can communicate with many countries in Asia to invest in long-term local projects. This is a good transition position for Brown before competing for the chairmanship of the International Monetary Fund.

As one of the core countries of the EU, if France can obtain their support, and Barron has already communicated with Cameron, Britain will not interfere in this matter - no support, no objection - after all, Brown As an "opponent" of the Conservative Party, it is very rare for Cameron to make such a statement.

So under such circumstances, the possibility of Brown getting this position is still very high.

In addition, Barron also communicated with Laos about some disputes between Kolo and Benin.

After all, disputes between the two parties have caused delays in the "repatriation" of illegal immigrants to the local areas by Britain and France.

The main reason why Colo purchased two frigates from Britain was because some armed ships from neighboring countries were harassing its oil exploration at sea...

A considerable number of these armed personnel are from Benin. Barron would not believe that there is no French presence behind the scenes.

After the discovery of rich offshore oil and gas resources in Kolo, its neighboring countries Ghana and Benin are naturally particularly greedy.

The situation in Ghana is better. After exploring their waters, some oil and gas resources were also discovered in the area adjacent to the Kolo territorial waters. Although the reserves are far lower than the Kolo offshore oil field, they are better than nothing...

But Benin is more depressed. No oil and gas resources have been found in their waters. The most critical point is that part of the coastline of Colo originally belonged to Benin...
