摘要
Louis Vuitton CEO, Bernard Arnault, is now the richest person in the world having toppled all of the tech billionaires like Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Bill Gates. But, Bernard’s rise to the top was anything but elegant. Given that he didn’t found any of the companies that he now owns, his entire rise consists of corporate raiding, hostile takeovers, and aggressive deals. Bernard approached Gucci with this same mentality, but to everyone’s surprise, Gucci would put up the fight of their lives and successfully evade the clutches of Bernard. First, Gucci would dilute their stock by issuing new stock. This would make Bernard’s stake less and less valuable. Next, Gucci would assign this stock to employees through a stock compensation program. This way, a significant portion of stock would be locked up until the vesting period ends. And finally, Gucci would find a white knight savior to buy up a large enough stake in the company so that it would be impossible for Bernard to achieve a majority stake. This video tells the insane story of how Gucci was able to defend themselves from a hostile takeover and how Louis Vuitton got humiliated trying to acquire Gucci.
