We are all reborn, who wants to be the richest man?

Liliane Bettencourt, this name should be familiar to many people.

Not only is she the largest shareholder of the beauty giant L'Oréal Group, she has also been the world's richest woman for a long time.

Compared with the manufacturing business owners and bankers introduced by Arnault, the woman Luo Nianzhong wanted to see the most today was this rich woman.

France is promoting nationalization. The nationalization decree promulgated in 1982 was to strengthen the government's intervention in the national economy and promote nationalization on a larger scale.

As a developed capitalist country, it stands to reason that the private economy should be very prosperous, right? A free economy?

But France is an exception, with a very high degree of nationalization.

In later generations, France's media, railways, telecommunications, radio and television were nationalized to 100%.

The nationalization of the electricity, aviation, banking, and coal mining industries has also reached 90%, and many important areas are controlled by the state.

These were achieved through several successive leaders starting from the de Gaulle period.

Although there were disturbances in the middle due to the change of the ruling party, the goal of nationalization was finally achieved.

What is the purpose of these people coming here today? It’s not that I don’t want my company to be annexed.

What's the use of looking for Luo Nianzhong? That's very useful, because here is a living example, Lillian Bettencourt.

In the early 1970s, France launched a wave of nationalization.

At that time, the L'Oréal Group was afraid of being nationalized, so it came up with a clever plan, which was to find a foreign giant who was not afraid of the French government to cross-shareholding. That company was the food giant Nestlé.

This is why when you look at L’Oréal’s shareholders, apart from the major shareholder Liliane Bettencourt, the second largest shareholder is Nestlé.

Now these people just want to repeat their old tricks and use the original strategy again.

But for these manufacturing and bankers, Luo Nianzhong had no idea about their companies.

First of all, it is impossible for the other party to hand over controlling rights and management rights. Secondly, although these companies are not small, they are nothing compared to the entire French industry.

Take the Falda company here, for example. This company provides bearings for aircraft and is the second largest aviation bearing supplier in France.

But this company doesn't have much prospects, otherwise it would still be Luo Nianzhong's turn? Other giants have already been contacted.

Once the nationalization of Falda fails, will companies such as ATR and Dassault, which control 100% of Air France, still place orders for this company?

This company's technology is good but not yet irreplaceable, so it doesn't have much prospects.

These people also knew what was going on, but they were just unwilling to do so.

Another point is that Far East’s business is also very large and requires a variety of bearing equipment. Once Luo Nienzhong takes a stake, does it mean that they can enter the Far East’s supply chain system?

Regarding their thoughts, Luo Nianzhong said that he wanted to eat shit?

Luo Nianzhong was interested in the banking industry, but he knew that most of the banks in France would be nationalized in the future. Regardless of whether they were listed on the market, the government would firmly control the majority, and the companies would only have management rights.

This creates a drawback, that is, even if you have the power to manage the economy, it is impossible to develop vigorously.

Where does the money come from? Will the government pay to let your company squeeze out the share of another company it holds?

Therefore, French banks can only be used as investments, and Luo Nianzhong is not interested in this.

Moreover, Barclays Bank has operations in France, so it does not need to establish a financial fulcrum in France.

The only person he is willing to cooperate with is Lilian Bettencourt. If he is not seeking L'Oreal, this is simply impossible.

What he wanted to cooperate with was another company owned by this woman, Sundraburg Company, a pharmaceutical company.

Even though this pharmaceutical company is not very big internationally now and is only among the top five in France, within 20 years this pharmaceutical company will become Sanofi, the fifth largest pharmaceutical company in the world.

The main body of Sanofi can be said to be the merger of four companies.

In 1999, Sanofi first merged with Santa Clara.

At this time, Rhone-Poulenc, another French pharmaceutical company, and Hoechst, a German pharmaceutical company, also merged to form Aventis.

In 2004, Sanofi Santa Clara saw that the market value of Aventis was far undervalued, so it considered annexing the company through She Tun Xiang.

The two parties fought hard to separate, and finally merged with the mediation of the French government to form Sanofi, the world's fifth largest pharmaceutical company, with each party holding 50% of the board seats.

Now Luo Nianzhong has every opportunity to occupy a position in these companies in advance, and take the opportunity to participate in the merger when the merger comes in the future.

Don't forget that Thatcher promised Luo Nianzhong to enter the British pharmaceutical and communications industry. There is also a top ten pharmaceutical company in the world waiting for Luo Nianzhong there.

However, it is difficult to control those pharmaceutical companies in England. It is impossible for Luo Nianzhong to get involved with the existence of a super power.

When the Iron Lady was asked to liberalize the medical industry, she just wanted to establish new pharmaceutical companies. He did not expect local pharmaceutical companies in the UK.

By controlling two of the top ten pharmaceutical companies in the world and taking shares in some other pharmaceutical companies, the Luo family has completed its core layout in the pharmaceutical industry, and its influence around the world will increase day by day.

Food, medicine, these are the violent commodities of the industry, and they are also the most influential industries.

Human beings can still live without Steel Media. Without food and medicine, our ancestors have used countless dynasties to tell us what is most important.

"If Mr. Luo becomes a shareholder of Sundelabo Company, I wonder if Pfizer Bristol-Myers Squibb's channels will be opened to Sundelaburg Company?"

Lillian was not the only person she approached Luo Nianzhong. The first person she approached was her old buddy Nestlé.

However, Nestlé understands very well that Sundelaburg is not a pharmaceutical giant, and the pharmaceutical industry is also very deep. It is impossible to build this company just by joining Nestlé.

After much deliberation, Nestle gave up this opportunity to enter the pharmaceutical industry.

Moreover, they are now entangled in trivial matters, and this matter is also related to Luo Nianzhong.

Nestlé has been planning for a long time to acquire the Chinese food giant Sanhua Company, and the price has reached US$30 billion.

Originally, the two sides were about to enter negotiations, and they didn't want Cheng Yaojin to show up halfway.

Watsons also set its sights on this company and raised the price to US$3 billion.

However, what makes Watsons more attractive than Nestlé is its cash and stock acquisition method, which is US$20 billion in cash plus US$ billion in shares of several of its companies that are preparing to go public.

This is much more sincere than Nestlé. According to Sanhua Company's estimates, the calculated value of these stocks may increase by 30% to 50% after these companies go public.

Moreover, they are very optimistic about these companies and can hold them for a long time.

I just don’t know how Nestlé would feel if they knew that Lilian finally found Luo Nianzhong.

"Pfizer Bristol-Myers Squibb's channels can be used by Sundrag, but only a small part. This is my bottom line."

The current Sundelabo company is still too small for Luo Nianzhong or Pfizer Bristol-Myers Squibb. They can make up for Pfizer Bristol-Myers Squibb's business in diabetes and blood clots.

However, the diabetes drugs provided by Sundelaberg are not much better than those of Pfizer Bristol-Myers Squibb. To be precise, only the thrombosis drugs are a complement to Pfizer Bristol-Myers Squibb, and there is not much conflict of interest between the two parties.

This sentence is also telling Lilian that she wants to find a stable backer for Saint Delaburg. At present, this company does not have much qualifications to negotiate terms.

Lilian narrowed her eyes, as if she felt humiliated. "Mr. Luo, you have to know that you are not the only choice for Fort Sandela. British companies are also very interested in Fort Sandela."

"Really? If you could accept their conditions, there wouldn't be this meeting between the two of us today, right?"

If she could cooperate with Ying Lun, would Lilian find Luo Nianzhong, a Hong Kong Islander?

After all, L'Oreal's main business is in Europe and the United States, and her influence is also here. She can still speak out about anything.

But Luo Nianzhong is different. If there is any disagreement, Luo Nianzhong will not tolerate her shortcomings.

Although Luo Nianzhong's investment in Fort Sandela was just to occupy a pit and make arrangements in advance, Lilian didn't think much about it and had to nip it in the bud.

The reason why she finally chose to meet Luo Nianzhong was because the other companies she contacted needed the management rights of Fort Sandela, which Lilian didn't want to lose.

Luo Nianzhong also understood this, so where he should be strong, he couldn't tolerate the European socialite in front of him.
