As a banker, David Rothschild is very knowledgeable about the consortium's operating model and can understand it as soon as he hears it.
On the other hand, Pinault is focused on the fashion industry. Kering Group has strong strength and ranks second in market value in France. It can be called a consortium. But they are not a traditional consortium model, but a large enterprise model, where the parent company controls everything.
"Mr. Jing, the Rothschild family is willing to become the core family of the Sixth Bank of France." After David Rothschild pondered for a moment, he made a decisive statement and made it clear, "Obviously, our family will We will be the largest shareholder of this bank, and we will be responsible for handling various reviews and smoothing relations. But privately, the control is still in your hands, Mr. Jing."
The Rothschild family missed the rise of the United States in its early years and has long since declined. It is currently shrinking in France, with its financial business limited to Paris and London. The family's core business, the Rothschild Group, has relatively limited influence.
Their main business is to provide financial consulting: that is, providing financial consulting during corporate debt restructuring, mergers and acquisitions, investment and financing, and listing.
This is a very mature business in Europe and the United States, but it is relatively rare in China. In layman's terms, they serve as a third-party, professional financial institution that stands on the side of the enterprise, rather than as an "independent financial advisor" on the side of underwriters or other capital parties.
Because of its low-key and pragmatic style, Rothschild Group's "independent financial advisory" business is well-known in the industry, and its clients are all important.
In 2010, Geely's acquisition of Volvo attracted global attention. Rothschild Group was Geely's exclusive financial advisor.
When Alibaba Group was listed in the United States in 2014, they also served as Alibaba's exclusive financial advisor.
In 2015, ChemChina made an 8.8 billion euro comprehensive tender offer for the world's top Pirelli Tires. They were also the exclusive financial advisor to ChemChina in this acquisition.
But a series of prominent names and huge deals are of no use. Roche's role is not decisive. They just make the money they deserve in their professional field.
As a Jew, faced with a moment when he could grow his business, he was willing to take a gamble. Even if the bet fails, it doesn't matter. Roche just put in a little energy, some funds and a few years of time.
Jinggao nodded and made his words clear, saying: "The Sixth Bank of France will be listed in Paris in the future, so our share capital will be extremely huge and our equity will be extremely dispersed.
But the equity we own will reach 70%, which is enough to influence any decision of the bank. The bank's articles of association should state that any amendment to the articles of association can be made after the voting shares reach two-thirds.
This is for future patching. For the first version of the Articles of Association, we still followed the general standards of the French banking industry. I believe that Mr. Rothschild has rich experience to prevent our interests from being damaged after the listing.
I allow Roche to eventually own 9% of the shares after the listing, and the board seats are hereditary. "
Sitting behind Jing Gao, Ouyang Wan, who acted as a "tool man" tonight and was wearing an elegant black dress, heard the word "hereditary" and felt a little inexplicable. Isn't this the emperor's promise?
Jing Gao waited for Ouyang Wan to finish the translation and asked: "Mr. Pino, your 5% equity will eventually be diluted. You can benefit from the development of the bank. So, how much equity do you want to keep in the end?"
Jing Gao doesn't trust little Pino from the bottom of his heart. Little Pino is very greedy and unjust when he sees profit. This person could sell Arnault out of profit, and could not notify him on the night of the shooting because of profit. This shows his nature.
However, the two parties are still partners at present, and Jing Gao doesn't want to break up with each other yet. But he was just making a pretense to ask, and did not really allow Pinault to decide on his own how much equity he would retain in the Sixth Bank of France.
Because, after David Rothschild agreed to cooperate with him on the spot, Pinault's role has been reduced!
Given that the Kering Group he controls is the second largest group in France, Igao cannot say that his role is nothing. Still have to borrow his connections in politics and business.
Although little Pino doesn't quite understand how the Japanese consortium works, he has been in the business world for many years. He understands it when he sees Igao's promising attitude!
According to his understanding, King Idaka appointed Luo Shi as the "Prime Minister", which is also the "Hand of the King" in the hit American TV series. Next, the king will divide the nobles and build a system.
The king is going to create a duke first! Dukes can have their own vassals, such as tetrarchs. Even for the lowest-ranking baron, he could create knights and allow commoners to join the aristocracy. This is probably the type of gameplay.
It's just that Charlemagne, the Frankish Kingdom who once unified Western Europe, gave his sons enfeoffments, and the enfeoffments were land. The difference is that what Jing Gao is enclosing is the bank's equity!
The tetrarchy of Charlemagne was due to the early deaths of his eldest and second sons, and his youngest son, Louis the Pious, eventually inherited his empire. In Charlemagne's grandchildren, the empire was divided into three. The general territory is today's France, Germany, and Italy.
If someone else used a bank that had not even been established on paper to do this kind of trick and pay homage to history, little Pinault would laugh at this person as being mentally ill! who do you think You Are? Also playing the game of enfeoffment of nobles!
Do you think you are the king of Western Europe?
However, Igao is famous in Europe and has the power of victory. He is really optimistic about the prospects of the Sixth Bank of France! This scene in front of me will definitely become a classic in history!
However, this scene will not be written into textbooks, but will be an anecdote spread by word of mouth in some top circles in the future!
Little Pino sat up slightly to show his solemn attitude and said: "Mr. Jing, I am very optimistic about the prospects of the Sixth Bank of France, and I hope to stay."
Jing Gao was confident and said, "Then keep 1% of the equity. The board seats are hereditary and non-replaceable.
My final shareholding in the Sixth Bank of France will not exceed 2%. I personally predict that the Sixth Bank of France will eventually have 13 directors. Your Board of Directors seats are filled by your nominees.
I will appoint a confidant to manage my interests in the bank on my behalf. We shareholders will meet regularly to exercise our powers and ensure our interests in the bank.
The name of this fraternity is 'Augustus'. My designated confidants have party-initiating authority. As for the location, it will usually be placed in my manor on the outskirts of Paris. Will be placed in other places and will be notified later. "
Jinggao is not interested. He flies to France every year to attend the meeting and sends a representative to take care of it. "Augustus" is a famous term in the history of the Roman Empire. First, Augustus-Octavian.
Octavian was the heir to Caesar and the first emperor of the Roman Empire!
Second, after the division of the Roman Empire, Augustus was the honorific title given to the emperor. Jing Gao named this association for a period of time. To say that it was very ambitious, it was not necessarily true. It's a bit naughty enough to be true.
Arthur Lagardère helped Jing Gao buy a large piece of land in the eastern suburbs of Paris, next to the manors of Chinese businessmen. Jing Gao told Arthur Lagardère that he planned to start a farm. The manor is economical!
But in fact, what he wanted was to build a luxurious villa, just like Pino Manor and Tangjia Manor. Stay comfortable. Anyway, there is no risk in the massive construction of luxurious villas and even palaces in France.
Damn capitalism! Hey.
At present, Jing's manor has not been built yet, he has only purchased the land, and he has already reserved some buildings for use.
Little Pino nodded, picked up the teacup, and said with a smile: "Mr. Jing, I respect you!"
He was quite satisfied. He should have been entrusted with a "count". The equity is a little less than 1%, but it gives you one of the 13 board seats permanently, which is a lot of power.
Because the equity vote is decisive. But board voting is also important. Not all matters have to go to the level of shareholders' meeting. Some matters are handled by the board of directors.
At this point, with the help of translators, Igao, David Rothschild, and Pinault simply talked about the organizational structure details of the "Sixth Bank of France" and how it developed step by step into a bank like Deutsche Bank. banking group!
The three of them chatted until about 11 o'clock in the night before leaving in their cars.
The affairs of the Sixth Bank of France were thus finalized, and all that was left was execution.
...
...
"Xiaojing, who are you going to let be your agent?" The next morning, Guo Siyue called from Hong Kong Island and chatted with Jinggao about his trip, and Jinggao mentioned the bank smoothly. She asked with a smile.
According to common sense, Jing Gao should be chartering a flight back to China today. Paris is already in trouble. There are some clowns to deal with when we get back.
Jing Gao said with a smile: "It's difficult for Dong Lingxi to manage Zhaoshi Group. We still need to continue learning. Siyue, how about you come? With your ability, you are completely qualified."
Guo Siyue giggled and said proudly: "Xiaojing, I'm definitely qualified. But I'm not interested in being your subordinate! I want to keep a distance from you at work, so as to prevent us from having disagreements and quarreling. The feelings were noisy.
Xiaojing, isn't Lily in Paris? You make her responsible for you. She has worked at Goldman Sachs for many years and is familiar with the business model of investment banks. She also independently took charge of the LP Investment Group and accumulated unique experience.
If you let Bank of East Asia focus on the business of Hong Kong Island and Nanyang, it will actually overlap with the business of LP Investment Group. You can put the East Asia Group into the LP Investment Group..."
Jing Gao laughed, "Siyue, your idea is quite right. But then I can't let Lingyu come to France! I entrust her with a heavy responsibility, and as the legitimate daughter of the Guo family, she should be in Hong Kong Traveling between Taiwan and Singapore.”
Guo Siyue smiled at Yan Yan's suggestion and said, "Xiaojing, then the qualified person under your command is probably Lord Wei Chen."
Jing Gao smiled and said: "Chenjun's position is too critical, I will not touch her position." Chenxi Bank is the channel for his funds to enter and exit from the unlimited card, and there is absolutely no room for loss.
Guo Siyue smiled warmly, with the aristocratic and elegant style of a beautiful woman, "I won't treat you as a tease anymore. Hurry up and tell me who you have already decided on."
Jing Gao laughed and said: "I am going to let Wu Jingshu from Jiuge Capital go first. She happens to understand French. We will look for a suitable candidate later."
Jing Gao was chatting with Guo Siyue when Chen Qingshuang came in. After Jing Gao hung up the phone, he said: "Brother Jing, the embassy is going to hold a donation ceremony and thank you reception for you. The preparations have been completed. It will be held at the Tangjia Manor the day after tomorrow. held.”
