"Adam, KKR's Henry Kravis has looked for me, and he wants to raise funds from the Scarlett Fund." Scarlett suddenly pushed Nanyi and said.

"For Reynolds Nabeske's acquisition?"

kkr is a company focusing on leveraged acquisition. Its essence is to take out a little money by itself, and other companies rely on borrowing funds to acquire other companies with larger capital, just like using the principle of leverage to lift heavy objects with smaller power.

Leveraged acquisitions are usually guaranteed by the acquired company or future cash flow. Sometimes profits are not as good as expected and are very risky to investors.

As far as Nanyi knows, KKR is acquiring Reynolds Nabesk.

In 1985, Reynolds Tobacco, which produces camel cigarettes, acquired Nabeske, which mainly produces three brand biscuits, Quduoduo, Oreo and Lezhi, and then formed Reynolds Nabeske.

This is a company with an asset valuation of more than US$30 billion, and it is not that easy to acquire it.

"Yes."

"If financing is just for this project, the risk is too great unless KKR can promise to reduce administrative expenses and calculate the accompanying equity [deducting the loss of the failed transaction from the profits of successful transactions] on the basis of the total profit of their fund, otherwise it would be fine if you don't invest."

"I think so too. I am not optimistic about KKR's acquisition case. I plan to wait and see. If their acquisition case ultimately fails, I will consider investing a little and take the opportunity to get more favorable conditions."

"So, are you optimistic about the future development of KKR?"

"Yes, leveraged acquisition is a good model. Investing in KKR should have good returns. The Intelligence and Policy Committee also came to the same conclusion as me."

"Well, I'll pay attention."

The sun rises and the moon sets, the moon rises, and it repeats again and again. The next day, Nan Yi took Nan Youqi to the west to participate in a wargame with the theme of Civil War. He became a gunner and played with Napoleon's cannon.

On the third day, he took him to the "Bigguy" club. This is a club formed by military fans who are obsessed with heavy weapons. Without exception, the members inside have at least two big guys such as tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, fighter jets, etc.

If not, I'm sorry, the club does not welcome different visitors.

Nan Yi is naturally the same. He not only has T-34, 76 Sherman, but also the F-100F Super Saber fighter. In fact, he is also a member of the club and rarely attends parties.

"Wow, Jacques, the Leopard Tank A-type, can the engine still withstand the tossing?" Nan Yi walked to a big guy and said enviously and jealously.

Jacques is a rich second-generation. His father died early, leaving him with more than 300 million US dollars in cash, and there are office buildings worth hundreds of millions of dollars. They can collect rent all the time. They are free and no one cares about their wealth. He is the most stylish member in the club. Who can make people spend more money and keep pulling good things into their hands?

Jacques held a cigar in his mouth and said complacently: "Of course, as long as you are gentle, you can still toss for several years."

Nan Yi approached Jacques and whispered: "Has the weapon system been removed?"

"I secretly hid it, and there were ten artillery shells, armor-piercing shells, incendiary shells, and grenades."

"I have a land in Montana, and it's my own private place for hundreds of miles." Nan Yi said mysteriously.

Jacques' eyes lit up and said, "Adam, when are you free?"

"A few months later, everyone will pull everyone over to have fun at one time. If you want to play for the second time, the Atf [Bureau of Tobacco, Alcohol, Gun and Explosives] may come to you."

"Okay, I'll wait for you to notify me. I want to organize it. I'll see how many tanks and tanks are going to pass by when I see it. I need to contact the transportation matter first."

"Hmm, can you get in and sit in a seat?" Nan Yi pointed to the A-type Panther tank and said.

We must seek consent in advance. If we don’t say that we are rude, we just say that these big guys may have a higher status than their wives in the eyes of military fans, and they will be confused without permission. It is really easy for both parties to refute.

"Of course, you can do whatever you want."

With the agreement, Nan Yi took Nan Youqiong into the tank and sat in the gunner's seat, imagining the heroic posture of the Leopard tank on the battlefield.

"Dad, the leopard style is so handsome, I want to use one too." Nan Youqiong touched the tank and said enviously.

"Okay, Dad, I'll buy you, and then buy another tiger type. Unfortunately, there is only one tiger king that can be activated, so it's not easy to do, otherwise I'll get one for you."

"Yeah, thank you dad."

"You're welcome."

Nan Yi was embarrassed to accept his son's thanks. He didn't want to buy it for his son. He obviously wanted to buy it for himself. The weapons he had from that time were only SD.kfz.252 armored ammunition transport truck and SD.kfz.253 armored command truck. He liked everything else. He wanted to collect it.

After experiencing the era when green military uniforms are popular clothing, and when military magazines fly everywhere, from sabers, guns, to aircraft carriers, bombers, and various parameters, as long as they appear in magazines, Nan Yi can blurt out.

After being a Ye Gong for decades, now he has the opportunity to have a real guy, how could Nan Yi miss it?

Because of Nanyouqiong's existence, other members were embarrassed to refuse the father and son's request to drill the tank, so Nanyi had the opportunity to drill all the tanks and assault vehicles. Therefore, in the near future, Nanyi would increase his expenses.

After taking Nan Youqiong to play for two days, Nan Yi stayed with his adopted children at Qidian Orphanage for four days.

Afterwards, Nan Yi flew to London and accompanied Catherine for several days.

Then he flew to Paris.

Back then, after "Joan of Arc", which only created Sophie Marso's good character, was released, it did make Sophie Marso a good reputation in France. At the same time, the Nan family also suffered a lot.

Because it was filmed by a French company, the movie has a strong Gallic chicken flavor. Except for filming in France and several surrounding countries with no consumption power, there is no idea of ​​introducing large ticket warehouses like North America and Japan.

Who made "Joan of Arc" lack a big selling point in French films? For French directors, if they don't strip away the heroine's clothes, it wouldn't be called a movie, let alone any art.

Sophie Marso's personality is different from her quiet appearance. She is not a settled master, full of rebellious spirit.

As soon as he got off the plane, Nan Yi rubbed his temples. He had just finished reading Sophie Marso's record of causing trouble. It took a lot of connections and financial resources to be suppressed one by one.

"School Beauty, call Yazhenni and ask where the person is."

Upon hearing this, the school beauty picked up the phone and dialed it out. After saying a few words, she covered the microphone and said to Nan Yi: "In the old Paris restaurant in the Isle of Ciede, three people are together, one director and one actor."

"Oh, what's the director's name?"

The school beauty asked at the microphone and said, "Ya Zhenni said it was the one she taught her last time."

"Oh, let Yazhenni find a few niggers to clean up. Don't be too ruthless. Just cultivate for a week. When the cultivation is done, let him rest for a day and then fight again. Every eight days, he will dare to appear in front of Sophie, so don't stop."

"Nan Sheng, should I do it at one time?"

"No, it's not that you have a great revenge on life and death, there's no need to be too cruel. Go to Viscount Castle."

The matter was too complicated, and Nan Yi couldn't figure out whether he should be justified or guilty. He could be justified in his previous life, but if he included it, he seemed to be a little bit Wuming, so he was very confused and embarrassed to do too much.

"Nansheng, let's go to Nebiyankur Apartment. The castle garden is open for tourists to visit."

"Okay, listen to you."

In order to develop tourism, the Paris Municipal Government discussed with the castle owners in the suburbs of Paris the year before yesterday to open the castle garden for tourists to visit. Although it was not a mandatory act, other castle owners were willing to cooperate and even willing to open the interior of the building to "special guests". The Viscount Castle, which already has a special historical significance, cannot remain unique and can only open its own garden.

In this way, the castle does not have much privacy or security.

"Although the city government will provide some compensation every year, the maintenance cost of the castle has increased a lot, and the cost of holding it is too high, so it is not a good idea to hold it in your hands. You can consider giving it."

After stroking his chin, Nan Yi looked out the window. The scenery was still the scenery, and the buildings were still the buildings. However, the smiles of pedestrians on the road were not as sincere as those in the past two years, and they felt a little happy in pain.

After 79 years, France's economy was like Wang Xiaoer's New Year. It was getting worse every year. Although it seemed to grow every year, but with inflation, in fact, France's economy has been in recession for nearly ten years.

Without seeing anything new, Nan Yi withdrew his gaze and looked down at Le Monde that he bought at the airport.

Not long ago, a delegation of Chinese writers came to attend the "Awakening of Chinese Literature" discussion. Facing more than 300 French cultural figures, sinologists and some domestic students, they talked freely and exposed what they thought was all the bad things about Chinese.

On the contrary, Xu Guang, a professor who travels to France in Taiwan, fought back righteously at the meeting, "In your works, it is to expose, it has been exposed for more than ten years, and it is still exposing it. China is poor, but China's culture is not poor, and we should praise our nation. Don't forget that as writers, you should lead the Chinese people forward."

In sharp contrast to this, in January this year, at the 35th World Heritage Committee meeting of the UNESCO, experts and scholars from all over the world and 75 Nobel Prize winners gathered in Paris, France to discuss the fate of mankind and study the future of the world.

After several days of discussion and research, 75 Nobel Prize winners reached an agreement that they were not only disappointed with the future of Western capitalism, but also completely denied the development of Soviet socialism.

So, where is the direction of human development?

75 Nobel Prize winners jointly issued a declaration after the meeting, some of whom said: "If humans want to survive in the 21st century, they must look back for 2,500 years to absorb Confucius' wisdom."

Soaked in the irritability of the report, Nan Yi and his party had already arrived at Neibiyankur Apartment.

Upstairs, Nan Yi made a phone call and sat in the living room while watching TV while waiting.

In about an hour, Nan Yi and others arrived.

Jean Barde is the vice president of Sophie Investment Control, but he has full control over Sophie Investment Control. Sophie Marso is just a mascot.

"John [Jean is a transliteration, which is actually what John means]. Do you think it is more beneficial or more harmful to picking up Sophie?"

Jean Bard didn't expect that Nan Yi would be such a sharp question as soon as he spoke. This question is not easy to answer from his position. After all, he is involved and has the entanglement of interests.

After thinking for a while, Jean Barde said: "Mr. Adam, I think it's still Li Da. President Sophie has considerable civil friendship throughout France. When Sophie Investment Control conducts certain acquisitions, it will reduce a lot of resistance from the public."

"for example?"

"If it weren't for the influence of President Sophie, the acquisition of shares of Hyundai Group in the fourth quarter of last year would not be so smooth. We would not have been able to get 8.5% of the shares, and we can only get about half of them."

"Keep the status quo?"

"I don't think there is a need to change." Jean Bard said carefully.

"Okay, I respect your decision." Nan Yi nodded and said, "Why did Total only get 4.5% of the shares? As far as I know, there are not many people willing to subscribe to the company's shares during the privatization process."

"There are not many people who subscribe to stocks, and it is easy to acquire Total's shares, but Total's board of directors is not willing to see another super-large shareholder appear.

Therefore, when Sofie Control's shares reached 3.81%, the resistance became very large. The original shareholders did not want to see our shares increase again. The 0.69% shares in the future would be acquired by me in the name of other companies at a premium of 40% from the three small shareholders."

"Well, is there any possibility of re-purchasing shares of the utility company?"

"It is not possible for the time being. The shares that the government is willing to release have been bought by everyone. Our 0.47% shareholding is already the limit. If we want to increase it, we have to see whether the public power company will further privatize it."

"Oh, where is Rona Planck?"

"I haven't heard of privatization yet. Mr. Adam, this company has only been nationalized in 1982. I guess it may never be privatized, but will only be privatized."

"Whether it is privatized or privatized, continue to pay attention, and you must invest as long as you have the possibility of investing."

"clear."
