money trouble

Chapter 405 Capable people generally have personality

Lalou Biz Le Hua and Auberte de Vilain respectively own 50.00% of the shares of Chateau Conti, and have jointly managed Romanée-Conti for a long time. The current glory of Chateau Conti is inseparable from that legendary female.

De Weilan is rigorous and low-key in his work. He loves classical music like a pool of still water, while Lalou is a natural strong woman who treats her career like fire.

It's a perfect combination.

Regrettably, Le Hua and Wei Lan could not escape the day of breaking up in the end.

Although Lalu Biz Le Hua has made great achievements in wine making and winery management, her voice in the family has never been strong enough.

In 1988, Lehua Group experienced a huge financial crisis.

After learning about the situation, Takashimaya Co., Ltd., a department store chain in the island country, took the initiative to offer an olive branch to Lehua Group, expressing its willingness to inject a large amount of funds into Lehua Group to help Lehua tide over the difficulties.

Takashimaya Co., Ltd. is of course not a charity organization. Their condition is very simple, to acquire 40.00% of the shares of Lehua Group, which is emphatically marked that at least 40.00% of the shares of Chateau Romanée-Conti must be included.

Under the circumstances at that time, Lehua Group had no other choice, and naturally accepted the request from Takashimaya.

At first, the acquisition did not go smoothly due to obstacles from all parties, but later, Takashimaya opened up a crucial node and received strong support from the French government.

The arms cannot twist the thighs.

Takashimaya Co., Ltd. finally got what it wanted, and achieved indirect control over Chateau Romanée-Conti through the acquisition of shares in Lehua Group.

Because of her extremely tough attitude during the acquisition process, Lalou Biz Lehua was deprived of all the shares of Kande Chateau by her family. She left the Kande Chateau disheartened and then established her own Le Chateau. Birch Winery.

As for the [-]% shares that were not taken away by Takashimaya, they were assigned to the two descendants of Lalu Biz Le Hua within the Le Hua family. to the slightest effect.

Lalu Biz Lehua didn't appreciate it at all.

At that time, this incident caused a lot of trouble in France, and the people were extremely dissatisfied with the fact that Takashimaya became the second largest shareholder of Chateau Conti, but later this incident was suppressed by the government, and gradually no one heard anything. sound.

In the past 30 years, almost all traces have been erased, and only a few people know the truth.

A large part of the reason why Aubert de Vellain will be called the "sacred guardian" is because he had an extremely tough attitude in the acquisition of Takashimaya, and he never made any concessions. Otherwise, Chateau Romanee-Conti would have become an island company there.

"Wu, if you want to become the owner of Romanée-Conti, you can only find a way from the Takashimaya chain of department stores." Barbara concluded.

The time when Takashimaya took control of Chateau Conti was at the time when French wines became popular in the island country. Takashimaya controlled a part of the shares in Chateau Conti for the purpose of earning profits, as long as it wasn’t like Albert de Ville It's easy to deal with Lan's mixed emotions.

Fang Nanqi, a curious baby, was satisfied, and returned to her seat with an expression on her face as if she had discovered the new world, unaware of the slap on her face just now.

"Takashimaya? Hey, this name sounds familiar." Wu Qian frowned and pondered. He remembered where he had heard this name before, but he couldn't remember it for a moment.

"Boss, a few days ago in the downstairs of Harrods, I met two distant relatives who claimed to be a high-level executive from Takashimaya. They wanted to cheat on your compatriot, Ms. Wang." Rosalind reminded.

Wu Qian suddenly remembered.

"Haha, this... yes, yes, that's the meeting, Takashimaya Co., Ltd., interesting."

Wu Qian never thought that there would be any relationship with Takashimaya Co., Ltd. The other party is a chain department store, and he also owns a top-level department store. The enemy came from the opposite side.

But I didn't expect to get in touch again under such an interesting situation.

"Barbara, what is the situation of Takashimaya Co., Ltd., and how much is the stake in Kande Winery in their hands?" Wu Qian asked.

Barbara got up and took the laptop from front of Wu to herself, and retrieved information about Takashimaya from the database. She would collect basic information about such a world-renowned large company.

"The total market value of Takashimaya Co., Ltd. is about 80 billion pounds, and the net profit last year was [-] million pounds..."

"For Romanee-Conti's 40.00% shares, I'll do the math. According to the current situation, it should be around 5000 million. The premium is very high. Even if it can be sold, the price will definitely exceed [-] million, or even more than [-] million pounds. .”

Barbara quickly found the information Wu Qian wanted.

"Hmm... The market value of Harrods is 35 billion pounds, and the annual net profit is more than 2 million pounds. Takashimaya's profitability is not good..."

Although both are department stores, the business models of Takashimaya and Harrods are completely different, and the heights of the two companies are also different. A direct comparison of profitability is really bullying.

While talking, Wu Qian's cell phone rang, and he took it out to see that there was a message from Fei Miller, and he raised his hand to signal everyone to stop talking.

In the message, Fimiller said that Woodward's family members are all in the villa, and there is no abnormal situation.

Wu Qian simply replied with the word "arrangement", and then transferred the money to the accounts provided by Woodward one by one. After Mo and Chase called to confirm that it was correct, the transfer was completed.

After receiving Woodward's affirmative reply, Wu Qian put away his mobile phone and stood up.

"Barbara, I know that your service is to provide business information in the rear, but I believe that your ability is definitely more than that. I wonder if you are interested in being a front line and organizing an acquisition negotiation?"

Everyone saw Wu Qian standing up, and everyone else stood up.

At the main table, except for Fang Nanqi who was still a little dazed, everyone else already knew the meaning of Wu Qian's words.

Barbara closed the laptop, put it in her handbag, and said with a smile: "That depends on Wu, how much you are willing to pay me, I love money, you know that."

"Personality!" Wu Qian praised.

Capable people generally have individuality, and only those with ability will be appreciated for their individuality.

An idiot is so arrogant, I am afraid that no one will pay attention.

Wu Qian raised his wrist to check the time. He knew that the time zone of the island country and the Celestial Dynasty were similar, and he had already entered the second day ahead of time.

"Barbara, I don't know tomorrow in France. Can I have the honor to invite you to have a few drinks at the Chateau Conti? If possible, I will send you five boxes of the flagship Romanee-Conti as this wine." How about the payment for one order?"
