With the end of the general election, Sarkozy's political career also came to an end.

However, for Sarkozy, no matter what happens in the future, at least before the end of his term, he has achieved the greatest achievement during his tenure, which is leading the attack on Libya, leading to the downfall and death of Colonel Kadi.

Speaking of which, in terms of personal relationship, Cardinal and Sarkozy are quite close - in the 2007 French presidential election, Cardinal privately provided Sarkozy with up to 5000 million euros in campaign funds.

However, France was ultimately the most active country in NATO's operations against Libya. They were the first to declare Libyan airspace a no-fly zone, and then sent fighter jets to bomb Libya.

Relatively speaking, the actions of the United States and other European countries in Libya are dispensable and there are not many interests involved.

Of course, the reason why Syria and Libya are both Arab countries and both have NATO setting up no-fly zones to prepare for regime overthrow is completely different from their international situations. This is also due to the many strange behaviors of Colonel Kadcy, which have made major powers dislike him.

However, there are many reasons behind Sarkozy's active participation in the overthrow of Cardinal...

The first is that Cardinal is too ambitious. He has always sought to establish an "African Federation" and build a unified African country - to gain dominance in the African region through their petrodollars.

But many areas in Africa were once French colonies. Even now, France still has many interests in Africa, which naturally leads to a conflict of interest with the increasingly arrogant Cardinal.

In addition, there is the "big mouth" of Cardinal Sarkozy's son, who directly and publicly revealed that they had provided Sarkozy with high campaign funds, which naturally made Sarkozy extremely angry.

The final outcome was that under the leadership of France, Colonel Kadzuk and his sons died. Even though France was at the bottom of the "Five Permanent Members", it was still a big country and was not something that a country like Libya could provoke.

However, for Baron, Sarkozy's greatest "achievement" before leaving office was to help the GHL Group complete its full control of the L'Oreal Group.

At this time, you can see the domino effect of many things.

In Barron's previous life, it was Lilina Bettencourt's daughter, Bettencourt-Meyer, who won the lawsuit for control of the L'Oreal Group.

A big part of the reason for this is that Bettencourt-Meyer married a Jewish man, and after winning the lawsuit, her husband and son also began to enter the management of the L'Oréal Group.

Obviously, the Rothschild family was behind this. At that time, the Rothschild family had a huge influence in France. Even President Sarkozy was embarrassed because of some accusations by Bettencourt-Meyer that he accepted funds from Lilina Bettencourt to help him win the lawsuit.

But now it is different. Through that sniping, William Weber Capital finally acquired the entire LCR Rothschild Group. The influence of the Rothschild family in France has also dropped to the lowest point. It is naturally difficult for them to interfere in the internal disputes of the Bettencourt family this time.

The final result was different from that of the original time and space. Lilina Bettencourt won the lawsuit against her daughter for control of family assets and gained control of the L'Oreal Group shares held by the Bettencourt family.

However, because Lilina Bettencourt is old and has been diagnosed with possible "mixed dementia" and "moderate Alzheimer's disease (senile dementia)", Bettencourt-Meyer later appealed to the court several times, hoping to gain control of the family assets.

But without the support of the Rothschild family, these demands were not supported by the court. Just before Sarkozy left office, under his mediation, Lilina Bettencourt finally agreed to sell the approximately 31% of L'Oréal Group shares held by the Bettencourt family to the GHL (Gucci-Hermès-L'Oréal) Group.

In this way, GHL Group will hold 100% of the shares of L'Oréal Group, making the world's largest cosmetics group a wholly-owned subsidiary of GHL Group!

Of course, Lilina Bettencourt's decision to sell her family's shares in the L'Oréal Group was not recognized by her daughter Bettencourt-Meyer. In April of this year, Bettencourt-Meyer again appealed the matter to the court, asking the court to rule that the agreement for GHL Group to purchase the L'Oréal Group shares held by the Bettencourt family was invalid.

But after two months of trial, the court ultimately rejected Bettencourt-Meyer's appeal and ruled that the acquisition agreement was established.

With this, the deal is officially concluded.

After the Bettencourt family withdraws from the management of the L'Oréal Group, the GHL Group will retain most of the L'Oréal Group's management and maintain the L'Oréal Group's business strategy. In addition to maintaining the European and American markets, it will vigorously develop the Asian market, especially the Chinese market.

……

In early July, after returning to London from Chatsworth House, Barron quickly crossed the channel and came to Paris.

Here he will have a private meeting with France's new President Hollande.

Regardless of how Hollande was later evaluated, although he adopted a relatively radical tax increase policy in the early days of his administration to solve the government budget deficit problem, he later began to shift to a more pro-free market stance.

This is also the attitude that Barron welcomes. After all, super capital like him certainly likes the free market very much, which allows him to wave his money and have fewer restrictions on acquisitions in France.

Therefore, this meeting with the new president is still very necessary. After all, this will be the first step in their friendship.

In fact, on a personal level, Hollande has a better personal relationship with the Weber family, to which Ashley belongs. That is why when Barron and Ashley met Hollande together, the atmosphere was very good.

It is worth mentioning that Ashley Webb finally got pregnant with Barron's child as she wished. When Barron returned to London from Lanai in early February this year, Ashley went to London specifically to meet Barron privately.

Apparently, it was during that time that she finally got what she wanted.

Ashley is now five months pregnant and her pregnancy is already obvious. Ashley has already learned that it is a boy in her belly and she always has a faint smile on her face.

Hollande has a good relationship with Ashley's father, and Ashley calls him uncle - Hollande was born in 1954 and is 58 years old this year. In fact, he is slightly older than Ashley's father.
