My 1999

Arnaud Lagardère sneered.

"Chairman of the board? You don't have as much equity as I do, how can you be the chairman of the board?"

He looked at Xu Liang, who was silent in the audience, provocatively, and said something with a double meaning.

"This is the Vivendi board meeting, not your bedside. You can't be the chairman of Vivendi just by having a pretty face and a pretty body."

Christina's pretty face showed anger.

But she suppressed it after taking a breath.

After two years of hard entrepreneurial career, her ability and character have been tempered, and she has become a good business elite.

"Mr. Lagardère is right. To become the chairman of Vivendi depends on ability. I founded Twitter, which is worth 3 billion US dollars, from scratch. I am definitely more capable than you, who inherited the Lagardère Group but made the company worse and worse.

And who told you that I don't hold as much equity in Vivendi as you do?"

Arnaud Lagardère, who was about to get angry, was stunned.

Vincent Bollore, who had not spoken, couldn't help but look over.

Of course, he knew that Xu Liang must have more than this amount of shares.

After all, the shareholdings of Hanhua London Office and Hanhua New York Office are both more than 5%, and according to the securities law, they have met the disclosure requirements.

So these are all public.

Although Hanhua is only a financial investment and has not sent directors to Vivendi, he, as the chairman of the board, knows very well.

Christina took out the documents that had been prepared long ago.

"During this period, our Christina Investment Company has been seeking Vivendi's equity and has signed equity transfer agreements with several investment companies.

It currently holds 29.5% of Vivendi's equity."

As soon as these words came out, the entire conference room was in an uproar.

Everyone guessed that Christina, who was supported by Jin Caesar, had more than this amount of equity, but the shortfall of 0.5% to reach the mandatory invitation to acquire standard of 30% was still too much.

Vincent Borore, who had always been relatively calm, couldn't help but change his face.

"Impossible! How could you have so many shares?"

Arnaud Lagardere was full of disbelief.

It's no wonder he's like this. It's only been more than half a month since Xu Liang approached Borore with the Pacific Fund's investment.

It's impossible that there's no news about the acquisition of so many shares in such a short time.

Staring at Xu Liang, who was sitting in the audience with a smile on his face, Vincent Borore said in a serious tone.

"It seems that Mr. Xu has been eyeing Vivendi for a long time?"

Xu Liang smiled and said, "Mr. Borore may have made a mistake. I'm just a partner of Christina Investment Company. It was Ms. Yeri who acquired Vivendi."

"Mr. Xu, we are all smart people. We all know who is behind the acquisition of Vivendi.

However, your means are indeed extraordinary, but it's not that easy to win."

After a confident smile, Vincent Borore continued.

"Now I hold 17.9% of Vivendi's shares, Arnault holds 9.74%, and the two of us together hold 27.64%.

In addition, we have also won the support of Mr. Jean Foch, CEO of Vivendi!"

As soon as these words came out, Xu Liang subconsciously turned his head and looked at Foch.

Christina on the stage didn't have such good self-control as him, and her pretty face changed color instantly.

Jean Foch, who had been silent all the time, raised his head and glanced at Xu Liang.

His eyes contained guilt and apology.

"I support Mr. Vincent Borore to continue to serve as the chairman of the board of directors of Vivendi Group."

Xu Liang's uneasiness finally became a reality at this moment.

He looked deeply at Jean Foch. He really didn't expect this guy to change sides at a critical moment.

He was a salaried worker. How much benefit could Borore give him?

He couldn't guess Foch's mind for a while.

Looking at Vincent Borore with a smug look in his eyes.

"Even if Mr. Foch's shares are added, you are still not as good as Ms. Yeri."

"Mr. Xu, don't worry. Mr. Foch hasn't finished yet."

Everyone's eyes were focused on Jean Foch.

The latter said calmly in the eyes of everyone.

"In order to continue to expand Vivendi Group's market in the telecommunications field, we will acquire Borore Telecom for 3.5 billion euros.

Vivendi does not need to pay cash, but will complete this acquisition with the equity of the two companies after the merger."

Xu Liang frowned instantly.

The Borore Group is a comprehensive enterprise group led by the Borore family.

In addition to papermaking, it also involves logistics, battery production, telecommunications and media.

Although Borore Telecom is far from being comparable to Vivendi, it has 2.3 million mobile users in France and has 4.5 million users in Cameroon, Benin and Gabon in Africa to carry out fixed-line and mobile phone services.

It is a medium-sized telecommunications operator.

Although the acquisition price of 3.5 billion euros is a bit high, it is not exaggerated.

More importantly, the Borore family holds nearly 70% of the shares of the Borore Group.

Once Vivendi Telecom acquires Borore Telecom, it will be equivalent to a targeted financing.

According to Vivendi's current market value of about 21 billion euros, after the merger of the two parties, the Borore Group can get at least 14.28% of the shares.

Although Vincent Bollore's shareholding will be further reduced, it will still be around 15.34%.

Added together, it is exactly 29.62%.

The limit is almost reached without triggering the compulsory acquisition clause.

Exceeding Xu Liang’s 29.5% is just a coincidence.

The key is to add Arnault Lagardère’s 8.35% (diluted after financing) and Foch’s holdings.

Vincent Bolore can control nearly 40% of Vivendi's equity. Such a high shareholding almost eliminates the possibility of Xu Liang's acquisition.

"The cooperation between Borlore Group and Vivendi Group in the field of telecommunications can combine the advantages of both parties to expand the share of the European and African telecommunications markets and become a world-class telecommunications giant."

Vincent Bolore looked at Xu Liang with a smile.

"Mr. Xu, as a shareholder of Vivendi Group, I believe you should be excited about the rapid development of the group."

Excited to be a big-headed guy.

If he had a knife in his hand, he would have wanted to kill this cunning old guy.

"There is a lot of overlap in the customers of Borlore Telecom and Vivendi Telecom. I don't think this is a successful acquisition." Xu Liang said directly.

"Mr. Xu, this is a joint decision made by Vivendi's board of directors and the group management. Even if you disagree, you must respect everyone's opinions."

Arnaud Lagaber said excitedly.

He likes to see Xu Liang deflated.

The famous Golden Caesar was unlucky in his own hands.

In one word, cool.

Xu Liang was too lazy to talk to this playboy.

He gave Lu Hui a look next to him.

The latter understands.

Take out two documents from your bag.

"Mr. Li Zhaoji from Hong Kong and Mr. Qiu Jinshan from Singapore respectively hold 2.8% and 2.1% of the equity of Vivendi Group. Due to various reasons, they could not come to Paris to attend the Vivendi Group's board of directors meeting, so they entrusted all the rights and interests of these equity Perform it for me.

On behalf of Mr. Li and Mr. Qiu, I now officially support Ms. Cristina Yeri as Chairman of the Board of Directors of Vivendi Group.

As for the merger of Vivendi Telecom and Bolore Telecom, we believe that it does not meet the needs of Vivendi’s development, so it should be rejected! "

Arnaud Lagardère stood up suddenly.

Taking three steps at a time, he ran down and snatched the document from Lu Hui's hand.

The latter had a smile on his face and didn't stop him.

Then he took out copies of similar documents from his briefcase and sent them to every Vivendi director on the stage one by one.

Seeing this, Christina's pretty face instantly showed joy.

The eyes that looked at Xu Liang contained endless admiration and love.

Others had complicated expressions.

They did not doubt the authenticity of the document.

In this situation, it is impossible for both parties to falsify their identities, and they cannot withstand investigation at all.

Jean Foch looked at the tall man with deep eyes below with emotion.

Even without him as a helper, the other party still had enough backup preparations.

and.

Decide the outcome in one fell swoop!

"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible, it must be fake!"

Arnaud Lagabert roared angrily.

‘Hi la’, the document in his hand was torn into pieces.

He glared angrily at the man not far away, but looking at the tall and burly Xu Liang, although he was angry, he did not dare to go up.

As we all know, Chinese people are good at Kung Fu.

He didn't want to get beaten.

After glancing at Arnaud Lagardère with contempt, Xu Liang said calmly.

"Mr. Bolore, it's your turn to step aside."

Taking a deep breath, Bolore slowly stood up.

"I have learned a lesson from Golden Caesar's methods, and they are indeed extraordinary. However, Vivendi's acquisition war has just begun, and you may not always be able to win."

"Maybe. But at least now I win."

The two looked at each other, their breaths were fierce, and they refused to give in to each other.

The people around seemed to feel the murderous intent of the sword clash.

After a long time, Bolore slowly sat down.

Close your eyes and say nothing.

Cristina Yeri, who holds the vast majority of shares, replaced Vincent as chairman of the board of directors of Vivendi Group with an absolute majority of 34.4%.

As soon as the board meeting was over, Vincent Borore left immediately.

He really didn't want to see the proud faces of this couple.

But unexpectedly, Jean Foch did not leave with him.

After the meeting, Xu Liang came to the reception room of Vivendi Group.

When Vivendi Games was acquired in 2002, he had been here several times and was quite familiar with it.

Looking at Foch who followed him.

"I thought you were going to leave with Vincent."

Jean Foch didn't say anything more and handed over the mobile phone in his hand.

"Take a look."

Xu Liang took it and took a look, his expression slightly changed.

"I didn't expect Vincent to be so vicious. He sent someone to detain my parents and force me to help him."

There was hatred in Jean Foch's voice.

After one last look at the old couple with guns pointed at their heads in the cell phone photo, he handed the phone back.

"In this case, you should firmly stand on Vincent's side."

"no need.

Now you hold 34.4% of the equity in your hands. According to the securities law, you have the power to veto the company's major decisions.

His planned merger of Vivendi Telecom and Borlore Telecom came to nothing.

I don't have much use for him anymore. "

The power of Western CEOs is higher than that of the board of directors, which is based on the dispersion of ownership.

Once there is a shareholder who controls more than one-third of the shares, the power of the CEO will be restricted.

The same is true for Foch.

"I will investigate this matter. In the next period of time, I hope you can maintain the stability of Vivendi."

"I understand, thank you, Boss."

Foch changed the address directly.

He showed unprecedented obedience.

Xu Liang smiled and patted his arm.

"Jean, you are an outstanding professional manager. Vivendi's future still needs your leadership. Don't let me down."

"Your will is the direction of my efforts."

"Go and get busy."

Foch nodded and turned away.

"Dear, we are now able to appoint and dismiss the CEO of the group, why do we still keep this traitor?" Christina couldn't help asking.

"Foch is a talent, and he is familiar with all aspects of Vivendi. With him, Vivendi will not be in chaos.

You are still too young, and you are very unfamiliar with Vivendi, and you have no experience in managing a giant corporate group with assets of nearly 40 billion euros.

So in the next five to ten years, your main task is to serve as the chairman of the board of directors of Vivendi Group and the group COO, learn management experience from him, and be familiar with everything about Vivendi.

When he steps down, you will take over the management of the group."

Vivendi is too big, and Xu Liang will be very cautious when it comes to the management of such a large enterprise.

Especially in the future, he will continue to compete with Vincent Borore for Vivendi, and the company's stock price will become more and more volatile. Jean Foch is the ballast stone that can stabilize Vivendi and keep it as free from the impact of the acquisition war as possible.

As for betrayal?

"Gangzi, contact Lao Zhang and ask him to send someone to take over the security of all holding companies and senior executives of the Vivendi Group."

He will use the same method, and it will be more bright and important.

"By the way, let him investigate Foch's movements over the past few days to see if what he said is true or false?"

"Got it, Brother Liang."

Huo Gang left in a hurry.

"Lv Hui?"

"Boss."

"Contact Uncle Li and Qiu Jinshan and ask them to continue to acquire Vivendi's shares. But forget it if the share price exceeds 50 euros."

"Okay."

Wait until everyone left.

Christina could no longer suppress her excitement and threw herself into Xu Liang's arms and kissed him passionately.

French women have a romantic heart under their cold appearance.
