Chapter 1083: Serving food according to the person

After a long while, Alain Chevalier said in a somewhat hoarse voice, 'Mr. Le Mir, if possible, I would like to meet the person behind the scenes.'

As soon as he finished speaking, he realised something and immediately added, 'I just want to understand his attitude, and as for his business with your bank, I won't touch it.'

After this remark, Le Mire raised a smile, thinking to himself that Alain Chevalier had good emotional intelligence.

He nodded and said, 'Although I think he will meet with you, this still depends on their willingness. I will communicate with Guangming Fund first and give you an answer later.'

This was beyond reproach, so Alain Chevalier said softly, 'Okay, thank you!'

'No problem!'

'Haha, how is the rest area? Continue?'

'Of course!'

After saying that, the two men got up one after the other and walked towards the golf course with their golf clubs.

However, after their chat, the two men, each with their own concerns, could not play as carefree as before.

But compared to Alain Chevalier, Le Mir's mood was undoubtedly very relaxed. After all, the two had been friends for more than ten years, and he still had a rough idea of Alain Chevalier's current state of mind.

That was why he did not directly launch a takeover of the Moët family, but first tried to do some ideological work on Alain Chevalier.

Although Alain Chevallier is only a professional manager, he has made an indelible contribution to the development of Moët Hennessy to its current state. He has enormous personal prestige within the company and also has a relatively large influence on the Moët family.

Coupled with his formidable abilities, if he strongly resists, it will definitely create huge problems and may even lead to the failure of the takeover.

Of course, if, on the contrary, he supports it, the takeover will go very smoothly.

Even if he just stands aside and doesn't interfere, it will make the acquisition much smoother.

Fortunately, Alain Chevalier was convinced by him, and it's up to Bright Fund to seize this golden opportunity.

...

It was a little after 3 o'clock in the afternoon.

In the oldest mansion near Place Louis XV in the 8th arrondissement, there is a three-star Michelin restaurant called Pavillon Ledoyen.

Here, Xia Yu met Alain Chevalier.

When he saw Xia Yu, Alain Chevalier thought he had mistaken the person, but then he took Xia Yu's business card, and he had to believe that the young man in front of him was the person in charge of the Bright Foundation.

'Mr Xia, your French is excellent, have you always been in France?'

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Alain Chevalier asked curiously. He couldn't help being surprised, because Xia Yu spoke fluent French, and even had a Parisian accent.

Xia Yu smiled and shook his head, saying, 'I'm from the East, I rarely come to France, and I taught myself French.'

Alain Chevalier was amazed and praised, 'Your talent is enviable! Not many Parisians can speak as well as you!'

Xia Yu laughed lightly and shook his head, 'Maybe so. I am indeed more sensitive to languages.'

...

'Mr. Alain Chevalier, Mr. Le Mir told me that you want to know our plans for Moët Hennessy?

Xia Yu said to him with a smile after taking a sip of coffee.

Alain Chevalier concentrated his thoughts and said with a serious expression, 'Yes, although I am not a shareholder of the company, I have spent a great deal of energy and effort on the development of Moët Hennessy to this point. It is like my child. Even though it is not my biological child, I sincerely hope that it has a bright future.'

Xia Yu could hear the sincerity in Alain Chevalier's words, and his smile gradually faded. He had a higher opinion of Alain Chevalier.

He was a responsible, idealistic and capable professional manager.

Xia Yu said sincerely, 'Mr. Alain Chevalier, if you think so, then our acquisition is the best way out for Moët Hennessy.'

Seeing that Alain Chevalier was silent and listening attentively, Xia Yu continued, 'The French wine market is huge. Although the Moët Hennessy Group is already a wine giant, there are still many strong competitors in the country.'

'For example, after seeing the merger of the Moët Hennessy and Chandon groups, the Pernod Ricard group, formed by the merger of Pernod and Ricard, is also very strong.'

'There are also the Castel Group, the French Wine Company, the Remy Cointreau Group, and so on.'

'How long do you think it will take for Moët Hennessy to completely surpass these companies and have a firm dominant position in the wine market?'

Facing Xia Yu's question, Alain Chevalier was silent.

Xia Yu smiled slightly and continued, 'I know you have higher expectations for Moët Hennessy, and you don't want to just do men's business, so you took the lead in acquiring the perfume sales business of the Bousac Group. Compared to the wine industry, the profits and market for luxury goods and cosmetics are higher, but how long do you think it will take to surpass giants like L'Oréal and Hermès?'

Alain Chevalier's face once again became grave, but upon hearing this, he felt a vague excitement in his heart. Could it be...?

Sure enough!

Xia Yu's next words confirmed his guess, and one explosive piece of information after another bombarded his psychological defences.

'The reason why the Bright Foundation wants to acquire the Moët Hennessy wine group is for these goals: not only to become the overlord of the wine industry, but also to become the overlord of the luxury goods and cosmetics markets!'

'Acquiring Moët Hennessy is just the first step. I'm also in the process of acquiring a cosmetics company, and I'm already more than halfway there.'

'The first thing I'll do after acquiring Moët Hennessy is merge the two companies.'

'Did Moët Hennessy not buy the perfume sales business of the Bousquet Group? But the brand ownership is still in the hands of the Bousquet Group. I know that the reason you didn't buy it all is because of financial constraints, but I have enough money to buy it. What I dislike most is making cakes for others.'

'After the two companies are merged, you will be the president of the company. I believe in your abilities. I don't have the energy or time to personally run a company. I have too much on my plate.'

'In my plan, the French wine company and cosmetics company still have to acquire at least ten companies. Of course, if you are confident about acquiring other companies, then I will definitely support you. You don't have to worry about funding. I can get tens of billions of francs, or even hundreds of billions of francs, within a week!'

'I never brag!'

After saying this, Xia Yu lifted his coffee with a calm expression, took a sip to moisten his throat, and waited quietly for Alain Chevalier to react.
