Richard did not continue speaking, but glanced at David.
"Sun, do you know the Bank of Gaul?" David knew it was his turn to take action, so he took over the topic.
"I know something. Bank of Gaul is one of the largest full-service banks in France, and its ranking among all banks in Europe is also very high.
Bank of Gaul has many branches or offices around the world, with a total number of employees of more than 150,000, and it has been consistently ranked among the world's top 500 companies selected by the American magazine Fortune." Sun Dahai said casually.
Some information learned.
The Bank of Gaul was established very early and has a great reputation. If strictly calculated, if it is not ranked among the top ten banks in the world, it must be among the top twenty.
"Bank of Gaul is still a listed company. It is currently one of the listed companies with the highest market value in the Paris stock market, with a total share capital of 3.5 billion shares, and its highest market value exceeded US$10 billion last year.
Even with the recent impact of the global stock market crash, based on the current share price of Bank of Gallia at US$2.25 per share, its total market value is nearly US$8 billion."
Richard continued what Sun Dahai said. After he finished speaking, he looked seriously into Sun Dahai's eyes and asked: "Mr. Sun Dahai, you and your Erection Future Investment Company are willing to become the white knights of the Bank of Gaul."

…
As the plane was suddenly pulled upward, the rubber tires broke away from the concrete runway, and the vibration and noise of the plane were significantly reduced.
At this time, the Boeing 747-200 had already left the ground, circled half a circle of Kai Tak Airport in a slow climb, and then left the sky above Xiangjiang on a northerly route to fly to the capital.
When the plane entered the predetermined altitude, the red warning light in the cabin went out. Sun Dahai, who was sitting in the first-class cabin on the upper floor of the plane, unbuckled his seat belt, stood up, walked to an out-of-the-way place at the back, and moved his body.
This trip to Xiangjiang has ended.
As he grows older, Sun Dahai spends more and more time working every time he comes to Xiangjiang.
This time he stayed in Xiangjiang for more than twenty days in total. He only relaxed for a day and a half when he went to Lamma Island with his family. The rest of the time he was working or doing work-related things.
Flowers will bloom again, and people will never be young again.
While Sun Dahai was moving his body, he was thinking quietly in his heart. It was just because of his idleness that his balls ached.
Fortunately, it didn't take long for the beautiful flight attendant to start serving drinks to everyone. In order not to block the way, Sun Dahai returned to his seat from the aisle.
This is a passenger plane belonging to China Civil Aviation. It departed from Sydney and flew to the capital after stopping in Xiangjiang. The first-class cabin of this plane has a total of 16 seats, but now only half of the passengers are occupied.
Hu Cheng was sitting next to Sun Dahai, wearing headphones and studying English with his Walkman.
Hu Cheng has been with Sun Dahai for almost three years. Although he doesn't study much, he is very careful in his work, has a flexible mind, studies things seriously, and picks up the skills quickly.
In the past few years, he has been with Sun Dahai and has made great progress. It is time for him to go out and exercise.
He worked as an orderly for Sun Weimin for four years and stayed with Sun Dahai for three years. Everyone trusted him very much and understood his temperament very well.
Due to the rapid development of the company, there is still a considerable talent gap for middle- and senior-level technical and managerial personnel within the companies under Erection Future.
Since Hu Cheng has enough potential and he himself has the will to do so, Sun Dahai will not force him to stay by his side, causing a waste of talent.
What's more, after Sun Dahai returns this time, he has to complete the last two years of his student career. It is not very meaningful to continue to keep Hu Cheng by his side, and it is a waste of natural resources.
Sun Dahai took the time to talk to Hu Cheng again in the past few days, and the two came to a consensus on his future development direction.
Hu Cheng temporarily stayed with Sun Dahai for another six months, learning English and some economic management knowledge by himself, and at the same time helping Sun Dahai train a new assistant.
Around the summer vacation next year, Hu Cheng will go to Xiangjiang and settle in the assistant office on the 33rd floor of the Future Building to truly do the work an assistant should do.
Together with Gao Yi, he will share Sun Dahai's work in the company. One of them will work outside and the other will work inside. When the company finds a suitable position in the future, he will be released outside.
…
After Sun Dahai sat down, the flight attendant pushed the drinks cart over and asked him softly what he needed.
Sun Dahai smiled as he looked at the row of Maotai liquor exclusively for civil aviation on the beverage cart, then asked for a glass of mineral water and began to think about what he had gained from his trip to Xiangjiang.
Taking advantage of the global stock market crash, Sun Dahai used US$1.5 billion in capital for operations, and after the first half of the market ended, he made a profit of US$1.4 billion.
With the start of the second half of the market, this part of the profits has been transferred back to the investment company, and according to the company's overall investment plan, nearly one billion US dollars of funds have been transferred to the accounts of Jiahua, Youlian and Blue Ocean International.
The remaining US$400 million was originally planned to be handed over to the holding company, but Sun Dahai took on a new project before leaving, so the money was kept in the investment company and became the operating capital of the new project.
This new project is the "White Knight Plan" of the Bank of Gaul.
After the secret conversation that night, Sun Dahai learned that the original controller behind the Bank of Gaul was the Leon Group.
Since Banco de Gallo is a listed company and the Leon Group is unwilling to publicize it, it has completely dispersed its shares in Banco de Gaul. The group directly holds less than 8% of the shares, and is apparently only the third largest shareholder of Banco de Gaul.
Due to various reasons, the total share capital of Bank of Gallia is very large. 3.5 billion shares were considered very rare among listed companies in the 1980s.
Currently, the largest shareholder of Bank of Gallia is an offshore fund controlled by Leon Group, with a shareholding of 20.1%. Bank of Gallia also has some shareholders who are directly or indirectly controlled by Leon Group.
Therefore, Bank of Gaul appears to have dispersed shareholdings, but in fact the Leon Group’s control over it has always remained above 40%.
Only enterprise groups formed around banks have real vitality.
Because only banks can weave all economies within the group into the same network through fund allocation, essentially integrating resources within the group and thus controlling the development direction of the group.
Sun Dahai knows this very well, so when he became the largest shareholder of Skoll Bank, he was so happy that he could not find North.
Therefore, Sun Dahai can also fully understand the Leon Group's attitude towards the Bank of Gaul, which is loose on the outside but tight on the inside.
However, in recent years, Leon Group has encountered competitors in its main business.
During their acquisition and operation of mines in Africa, they encountered many obstacles from rivals in the same industry. Not only did their operating costs increase significantly, but many projects were snatched away by their rivals.
