是的,还是大股东有40%的占比。前LMH的总裁说服AP,出资救了当时快垮了的JLC。这是君特 布鲁莱恩接受TIME ZONE采访的一部分内容。
The grand old brand from the Vallee de Joux was for years operating on the virge of death. What I found in Le Sentier was a mixture of all possible things imaginable. They were making luxury products like pens and lighters for Christian Dior, they were making board- and measuring instruments, medical machinery, movements and traditionally of course, finished watches. The problem was, not a single department was profitable. So, first we had to get rid of the useless diversification products. Back to the roots of their original business was ordered. In1986, Monsieur Belmont came aboard as a technical director. In the same year, it became apparent that 12 million francs (then around 6 million US-$) were needed to survive. With that, the minority share-holders, a bank with 20 % and the family Ketterer of Vacheron-Constantin (25 %) couldn’t go along. In light of the difficult situation, VDO were happy to sell Audemars-Piguet a 40 % share in JLC. I reckon that was the best thing AP could do at that time. Just think of the enormous rise in value up until today.
VDO,当时是LMH的母公司,沃达丰,一家源自1929年的德国仪表公司,1991年被德国工业巨头mannesmann-曼内斯姆收购,曼内斯姆在收购ORANGE的过程中联手英国vodafone,成功后被反收购,99年分拆卖了,当然旗下VDO也被卖出去,被西门子收购。西门子旗下的VDO 2007年又收购的生产马牌的德国大陆集团。
这几家公司,关系非常复杂,其中两家都叫沃达丰。一个是德国仪表公司,另一个独立自英国Racal Electronics Plc,曼内斯姆通过收购德国电信部分资产进入了电信业,相关公司叫D2 Mannesmann。所以之后就有了联手vodafone收购,所以vodafone有双总部,一个在英国伦敦,另一个则在杜塞尔多夫,杜塞尔多夫就是原来D2的总部。
因为Mannesmann散伙,VDO也就卖出去了,而LMH是挂在VDO旗下,LMH又被历峰下面的Vendôme Luxury Group收购。 |
