Back to 1995

Chapter 620

The business plane passed through the clouds, and he had already been to Europe several times. Eric, who knew the virtues of Europe, had lost that sense of novelty for a long time.

When I came last time, the people who sat with Eric were all Victoria’s Secret supermodels. Except for a few female assistants, the rest were a group of old men. Eric was on the plane , not to mention how many gods came.

The representatives sent by Goldman Sachs, Merrill Lynch and other institutions this time whispered to each other that they provided a large sum of money for RICK to acquire Gucci this time, so they naturally sent someone to watch.

Chris Jain, who came on behalf of the Comerica Bank, had a heated discussion with the people from the Deutsche Bank Investment Bank. The Comerica Bank and Song Yang are now bound by a tacit understanding. Song Yang plays these tricks, The Comerica Bank contributed money and effort.

Deutsche Bank's investment bank is not popular in America, but Chris Jain has a good chat with the Deutsche Bank's people, and both sides have their own plans.

Comerica Bank has not entered the overseas market and wants to do overseas business, while Deutsche Bank wants to do business in America. The two sides hit it off. Deutsche Bank Investment Bank cooperates with Comerica Bank, and Comerica Bank cooperates with Deutsche Bank locally. Deutsche Bank helped Bank of Comerica handle overseas settlement and other businesses, and the two sides colluded with each other.

Deutsche Bank Investment Bank also knows that if they want to gain a foothold in America and not be targeted, they must have allies in America. Otherwise, they will be punished by Wall Street institutions!
After Eric looked through a few documents of LVMH Group and Gucci, he saw that he was a big head. Anyway, from the data point of view, LVMH Group is a behemoth. Even if RICK adds Victoria’s Secret, compared with LVMH Group, then It seems that the egg hits the rock, and the egg hits the rock to hear that's all.

But Kravis, a veteran Wall Street gunner at the side, is quite engrossed in watching, picking up a pen from time to time to write down something in his notebook. Now those executives on Wall Street are used to writing on Palm-branded PDAs and laptops. Recording things on similar electronic products, Kravis still maintains the old style.

"President Kravis, do you think RICK can acquire Gucci this time?!"

Eric asked Kravis, the former king of leveraged mergers and acquisitions on Wall Street. Kravis is a veteran mergers and acquisitions master. what he does best.

This time, he returned to his old business, although he was only a consultant, but it still made Kravis feel excited. RICK’s acquisition of Gucci must be the same as he used 20 billion US dollars as the principal, and used leverage to acquire the tobacco giant Nabisco for 310 billion. There is no comparison, but after so many years of quitting and returning to the old profession, this feeling of blood rushing makes Kravis feel that he is not old!
Started to cooperate with Song Yang, helped American Telecom to complete the merger and acquisition, and hunted down the short sellers on the double-click company, which made Kravis's KKR company famous now, and Kravis's career also had a second spring. Now Many companies on Wall Street that have been short-sold and acquired rivals have hired KKR as a consultant, and Kravis is playing well.

After the junk bond set didn't work well, Kravis found a new way to provide consulting, guide acquisitions, borrow funds, etc. for other companies. Standing on KKR Group's Wall Street, it is already quite well-known.

Kravis feels that if he helps RICK to win Gucci this time, his KKR group will probably become more famous, and more big companies will come to KKR as an acquisition consultant in the future, earning only commissions and consulting Fee, you can make a lot of money every year.

After hearing Eric's words, Kravis took off his glasses and rubbed his sore eyes. Although he didn't want to admit that he was getting old, Kravis was indeed 53 years old this year, and he couldn't look like he was ten years ago. Same, working without sleep for three days in a row, and then going crazy in nightclubs and other places with a lot of money.

"If there is no mistake in the news we have received, with the dollars that RICK has raised now, I am sure that the bid will exceed the LVMH Group, and the LVMH Group can be kicked out!"

Kravis seems to have more confidence than Eric, "The most important thing about the acquisition of Gucci this time is to overcome the time difference. Taking advantage of the stalemate between LVMH Group and Gucci, RICK will take advantage of Gucci by surprise. !"

If the LVMH Group cut through the mess from the very beginning and forced Gucci to the overlord, then there would be nothing wrong with RICK, but Bernard Arnault just wanted to spend a small amount of money to do big things, and he was reluctant to spend a lot of money. To drag Gucci down, and then spend a little money to buy the other party.

"President Kravis, Song asked me to come to Europe this time, and you will be in charge of the acquisition."

Eric said very sensibly, he knew how much he was worth, and this kind of big acquisition of billions of dollars had to be done by an old Jianghu like Kravis, otherwise he might lose billions if he was not careful. There are more than just beautiful knives!

Kravis nodded, and there was no prevarication or anything. Song Yang came to him to settle the matter, not to listen to his ambiguous words, and after the acquisition was completed, his KKR Group, without accident, Kravis didn't do it for nothing to get a consulting fee of more than 2000 million US dollars.

In the Bruno Family Club on the outskirts of San Jose, Millia is playing wildly with Amber in the manor. In a few days, when the summer vacation is over, Millia will enter the school in San Jose, and her childhood is not so comfortable up.

Daanna did not give up her plan to make Miriam a lady, she has already hired many tutors and etiquette teachers for her, waiting for Miriam, Daana can count on the Bruno family to produce a lady, Support the facade of the Bruno family.

Daana, who is often invited to participate in various art fairs and charity fairs, most often hears the so-called high society things such as etiquette, self-cultivation, and art. Looking at Little Millia, she was still a little heartbroken.

Not to mention how well she expects Miriam to do well, but Dana doesn't want Miriam to be ridiculed at those parties in the future. Although if someone dares to do this, it is estimated that Gallo can smash that person's celestial cap, but Daana Anna still hopes that Miriam can save the Bruno family's face, even if Song Yang, Greg, and Gallo don't care much about the face...

"Amber is really different from his old man. I remember that when his old man was this old, he was already walking sideways in the town!"

In the steam room of the club, Gallo was lying on the wooden bed next to Song Yang, looking down at Amber, who was running wildly behind Milia, and said with a sigh.

Amber's old man, when he was the same age as Amber, the townspeople hated dogs enough to exist. With a group of people, he often yelled at Chamin Town. When the dogs saw him, they shook their heads and went around the road Walk.

When he came to Amber, his personality was completely different from his old man's. He followed Milia and could stay by himself for a day with a few fairy tale books in his arms. Dana liked it quite a bit, and felt that he was much easier to take care of than Miriam.

"The future members of the Bruno family will be different from us!"

After tossing around in New York, he came back to the club and washed it. Song Yang, who was tossed by a professional physical therapist, also lay on the wooden bed and said to Gallo in a slightly lazy manner.

"Aunt Daisy, she gave birth to another sister for Camille..." Gallo complained to Song Yang.

Camille is now in college, and Daisy and Gary have given birth to a younger sister for Camille. The Bruno family has added a new member.

In the past few years, the Bruno family can be said to have a thriving population. Not only are all the relatives who are out of reach, they have begun to recognize their ancestors and want to join the Bruno family. The members of the Bruno family are also working hard. .

For no other reason, according to the provisions of the Bruno Family Foundation established by Song Yang, as long as a new member of the Bruno family is born, his parents will be able to lead a salary and living expenses for him, and they will receive it themselves when they become adults.

This amount of money is not much, but there are tens of thousands of dollars per month, and the Bruno Family Foundation also bears all other insurance, medical care, tuition fees, etc. Daisy is not the first baby, Nathan and Hall's big cousins ​​also found girlfriends, and they made a few babies before they got married.

If Uncle Mason hadn't been too old, maybe he would have added a younger brother to Cousin Hall.

Of course, Song Yang understood these thoughts, but he didn't bother too much. The old Bruno couple were very happy with the new additions to the Bruno family. Just for these juniors, the old couple who had stayed in Houston for more than ten years came here specially. The city where Daisy lived turned around.

As for adding newcomers to receive salaries and living expenses, the Bruno Family Foundation has continued to invest, and its current scale has more than doubled compared to when it was established. Now the size of the foundation is close to hundreds of millions of dollars, plus With the current number of members of the Bruno family, even if they try to make babies for decades, the family foundation will still be maintained.

As for a hundred years later, whether Song Yang can see it or not is a problem at that time, and the Bruno Family Foundation, which operates independently, is completely separated from Song Yang and the North American Global Investment Foundation. There are too many people, and when it's time to play, the Bruno family will naturally disappear!

Through the window, Song Yang's gaze was directed downwards, in the direction of Greg, who was talking with several men in suits and leather shoes.

From the look on his face, it seems that Greck had a good conversation with the people who came here. Song Yang did not go down to see the group of people who came today, but let Greck receive him. , The people who came to the club today are people from the American Italian Foundation. This foundation, like the American Jewish Committee, knows its origin just by hearing its name.
