Original subtitles

I am Joseph Klein, I make documentaries.

You may have seen one of my previous films.

Some call me a gauchist or a difficult one.

Like the oil company that sued me for the movie I made of them.

Violation of human rights is not good in an annual report.

I wanted for my new movie Tying a CAC 40 magnate.

I wanted to infiltrate the system, see how those people live and think,

how they became demigods.

I was looking for someone who embodies the values ​​of the system.

This man, you all know him, is Michel Ganiant.

I spent several months there with him.

It was often revolting, sometimes dangerously fun, but always educational.

But first of all a number.

Since we started it became the largest French fortune 1000 euros richer in dividends.

A minimum wage per minute, through nothing to do. On the hood of the others.

Welcome to the world of neo-liberalism, the world of Michel Ganiant.

Don't fool: it's your world, too.

The Berlin Wall fell in 1989. The beginning of a new era,

a new world in which people would be free, rich and happy.

Thanks to neo-liberalism,

the new unmistakable horizon of humanity.

I admit, even I wanted to believe it.

19 YEARS LATER

The crisis of the subprimes erupted

and revealed that capitalism was poisoned by financial speculation.

It was to blame those fucking traders and bankers.

As our dear leaders would say:

It was time for it a new ethical capitalism.

Happiness that there are honest, are responsible people,

who wanted wealth for everyone.

Men like Michel Ganiant.

Michel Ganiant, CEO of Ganiant Corp.,

symbol of the excellence of France,

a modern conqueror,

brave surfing on the waves of globalization.

A Giant with various activities:

Raw materials, transport, energy, media,

luxury goods, mass distribution and so on ...

Michel Ganiant is a vulture.

Michel Ganiant is great for the French economy.

He's a con man.

No one can stop Michel except himself. And even then.

He good man, Mr. Ganiant. Very good.

He is a vulgar fringe phenomenon.

Michel and how?

Michel is the man of my life.

When I first saw Michel Ganiant, the world was at his feet.

Michel Ganiant, how far are you with the takeover

of the mobile operator Eurotel?

I cannot say anything about that.

Let's ask that the negotiations are moving forward.

Another company takeover, one of a long list.

What do you say to those who say: "Michel Ganiant is insatiable?"

I'm a businessman, so I do business.

Here the employers live withdrawn, like it's a shame.

It creates distance, It makes people fantasize.

I am for total transparency at all levels.

And do you know why?

Because I believe that which is good for Ganiant Corp.,

is good for France.

Maybe there will be business people someday buried in the Pantheon.

Long live Michel Ganiant!

A grateful nation for great people For the creation of GNP and dividends

Michel Ganiant was so transparent that he became invisible.

Hello. - With Joseph Klein.

I was just about to call you. - Telepathy ...

I asked Mr. Ganiant the question, but it is not possible.

Oh well ...

Propagandist diploma

What are you doing here? - I have an appointment with M. Ganiant

to get him the diploma Propagandist to hand over.

He talks about transparency, so i thought ...

New attempt, this time every year manager seminar of Ganiant

in the company of ... Also pleasant.

Can you hold this for a moment?

There comes the cavalry.

M. Klein, I thought I was clear ... - I'm here for the meeting.

I note that for next year. - What is so secret? Organ smuggling?

I have to ask you to leave. Please stop filming.

Hey?

What?!

Please walk on. Thank you.

Come on.

We have to pass blue outside. - Blue door, over there.

I beat that bastard rotten.

What do you mean with "we can't do anything anymore"?

And my gifts to his stupid organization against AIDS?

I sit with 50 million euros worthless shares? Hey?

Damn!

Where's the car? - Gerard went to get it.

That deal was for me! - Our lawyers appeal.

The case was settled, you go to London and nothing more?

What did you do to enchant them? - They were conducting secret negotiations.

They never told me to call on ... - What? A black?

Why do you speak in colors? You are the racist.

What kind of bullshit is that?

Day. Joseph Klein. I asked for an interview.

The freedom of the press. Does that mean anything to you?

Surprising development in the acquisition of Eurotel.

Just when he did wanted to celebrate his latest addition,

said the legal manager of Michel Ganiant

that Eurotel had decided to merge with Prévost Industries.

Prévost Industries and its reputable boss, Jérôme Prévost.

Heir to industrialists who make fortunes made in coal, cannons and colonization.

The aristocracy of the business world.

Did you buy Eurotel to take revenge on Michel Ganiant,

because he is Russian TV satellite you wanted?

So he knows who's in charge?

Ganiant's interest in Eurotel was purely financial.

He wanted to buy it for debt of his own group.

Our interest was industrial.

Michel Ganiant represents modern capitalism,

while you are faced with the old money.

Are you not afraid to fall behind?

We clearly have a different style.

Ultimately, the person is who wins the acquisition

not the one who comes on TV or the one who makes the most noise.

But those who are half of the shares plus one.

Meanwhile, Ganiant answers still not my calls.

I tried to challenge him by putting the parking images on the net.

They were censored within two hours.

Worthless, I suspect ...

And then, against all odds ...

Day. - M. Klein!

They go with you everywhere, right?

Would you like something to eat or drink? - No, we're from the Quick.

We can sit there. Come on.

My spokeswoman spoke to me about your project.

I participate.

Satisfied?

Yep, that's great.

Why the turnaround?

I talk about transparency all day. I have to lead by example.

And since you are a gauchist,

no one can say that you love me. - I'll take that as a compliment.

Behind the businessman above all it says an ordinary man.

That's what you need to capture.

I get it. Jérôme Prévost wrote a book and you want a movie?

"The passion of victory"

A book! Nobody reads yet!

I'm not just giving you the chance To film Michel Ganiant,

but also a historical moment:

I am going to buy up Prévost Industries. And you are going to witness it.

Prévost Industries, as in ...

Why? Out of revenge? - No no!

As I often say: "It's nothing personal, it's business."

It was too good to be true. He threw the film in my lap.

And? Is it yes or no?

It was all nonsense. He just wanted me to

would sing his hymn, he wanted me on a leash.

The images are mine. - You only use them with my approval.

But a leash works both ways. - We're going for it.

Well done.

I signed a confidentiality contract

and we were off.

At Ganiant, hello. - Hi, this is Joseph KI ...

Michel, if you still visit that whore ... - Nothing happened.

Small, bye. I'll let you in. - Thank you.

Did you hear that? Do you have it? - Yes.

Come on. Park there.

I meant there.

Everything fine? Welcome.

Principle 1: Michel Ganiant is an ordinary man

But better

I'm not going to give you a tour.

It's a bit messy. With children you live as gypsies.

Do you want to drink something? - Gladly. What do you have?

Everything. Yuan?

Put your stuff there.

That's Yuan ... a Pearl!

She had no papers. We took care of it and found work for her.

Now she is as good as family.

I will introduce you to my wife, Deborah. You know her?

"The Princess and the Billionaire"

"Wedding of the year"

"Michel and Deborah become parents!"

Deborah, our friends are here.

"Our friends." What a surprise. Deborah. Pleasant.

Joseph Klein. Pleasant.

Deborah creates images.

It's stupid, but melt metal and edit with a sledgehammer

relaxes me.

Exactly what I need now. I leave you. To behave.

Okay, let's get started. This way.

Your fortune will be estimated at nearly 4 billion euros.

What can you do with 4 billion euros?

Actually, it's 4 and a half billion.

What should I say to that? Simply, we live.

Maybe not just.

I know, millions of people are poor and I have so much money.

But it is not like that that everything is in a safe.

I take risks, I invest ...

I can suddenly lose everything.

You still have 2 hotels, 2 castles,

a palace in Italy, a jet ...

But I did not steal that money.

Small, I didn't steal it, did I? - Sorry, was that a question?

Cut that. He's an idiot.

Your turn.

I'm not saying capitalism is a perfect system. It's the only thing!

It's not like communism, that's a figment.

Man and the world were born capitalists.

Failed. It's attached to the arch.

The Indians make it without capitalism.

They have a mutual aid system, use of resources ...

If you like walking around naked in the jungle ...

If god wanted to make all people equal, why then did he create dwarfs?

I have nothing against dwarfs. We are sorry that you are no longer allowed to throw it.

Just kidding!

No, it's not the arc ...

Okay, we'll do what you propose, we redistribute wealth.

If I give a billion to the poor, do you think they will be saved?

It wouldn't make things worse ... - Anyway.

People want to work, they don't want alms.

We must invest, create jobs.

"Give a man a fish, he will eat one day.

Teach him to fish, he will eat all his life. "

And when there are no more fish, what happens then?

Then we die, rich and poor.

You know, we all live on the same planet.

M. Ganiant very well, yes.

He's calling papers for me. I now work it.

Really very sweet. Friend Chinese, yes, yes.

You said you are from North China, the city of Yuxi?

Wuxi.

Ganiant doesn't have a factory there where teenagers work for a starvation wage?

I do not understand. Why you ask? - It's just a question.

M. Ganiant very well. Don't bother. He very sweet.

Damn French bastard!

We do not sell Robotex, we restructure.

To the competition to cope.

At the slightest change ... - Change means stamping.

You didn't confuse Yuan, did you? - No, we talked about relocation.

You see it too small. I think globally.

I'm cutting jobs in France, but create other jobs elsewhere.

In Indonesia they called A village to me out of gratitude.

They call it "Gag-niang".

Isn't that your factory dorm near Jakarta?

Indeed, the workers live close to their workplace.

Is it "more human" if they are on the road for 3 hours?

Did you work well, honey? - Yes, it made me warm.

What are you doing now? - I am going to swim.

Scorsese, here. Do we no longer wear bathing suits?

I also participate in transparency.

"The perfect couple has nothing to hide, "no?

Cut!

What is this nonsense? - You say it.

Nothing happened to that girl. I'm on my knees.

I'll give you the ... little Ferrari.

You want that, don't you?

The Red one. - I need you, Debbie.

Is it almost ready?

I'm hungry. - Me too.

But you told me ...

Children, after dinner we go for a swim, okay? - Yes!

Okay. - With your armbands?

No! - Issues?

It's my bank for a loan. I apologize.

Bankers. You owe them millions before they respect you.

Who are you with? I can call them. I know them all.

No thanks. - Cesar, your hands. We are not in India.

In Goa they eat with their hands. The children liked it.

People often ask me what I'm most proud of.

That I am the youngest billionaire of the nineties?

That I lead a group of 180,000 people?

That I made the front page three times from Fortune Magazine in two years?

No. My greatest success, my real wealth is here,

my family.

It was time to get to the core to get off the case.

Michel Ganiant, the businessman, the player, the winner.

Episode 642 - "The attack on Prévost Industries"

Awesome. Day.

We did it!

We got the offer for Yangon airport.

Are you doing business with Burma? - Of course.

It's the best way to advance democracy.

Or to strengthen the power of the junta. - Not at our prices.

Deborah made this. She can do it, right?

Gaddafi's son bought ten in front of his mansion.

Also for the cause of democracy? - No, he's a friend. Come on.

We use the system of "the dynamic office".

People no longer have their "own" desk, they put their laptop where they want.

That is the future. Day!

Awesome. Where's Big Brother?

Listen, I know I have you promised full access,

but we enter the nerve center of Ganiant Corp.

I ask you to stop filming. Please.

No sorry. - Please.

Just kidding!

A man is entitled to some privacy.

I'll explain it to you.

This is the capital of Prévost,

with the small shareholders that no one cares about,

and the major shareholders, friends of the old man, the family,

his brother Charles, with whom he does not hurry and owns 12%.

We must convince them.

We see each other, talk, we are going to clash ...

Buy a company

is about money, but above all about people.

This is my den.

Jessica! I forgot our appointment.

We'll meet later. - No problem sir.

Didier wanted to speak to you about Robotex. - I'm working on it.

Day.

So you and beautiful girls are not a legend?

Can I win as President of Italy?

No, I love my wife like on that first day.

She's my north my south, my east, my west.

Is that your father? - Yes.

The day I became boss from the company he worked for.

It was an eventful moment, revenge on life.

You must not forget where you come from.

If only it was to say to the youth:

"By working and persevering,

even if you start from scratch, you can achieve a lot. "

Principle 2: Michel Ganiant is a selfmade man

Thanks to the others

Michel Ganiant defines himself

as a self-made man.

But the reality is different, as you will see for yourself.

Far from the mob Michel Pierre Marie Ganiant

born in the Norman upper class.

His father, Henri, an engineer, led the family business:

Delouette-Ganiant and Co,

specialized in timber imports from Africa.

Michel was destined to take over the business.

But ... - He was zero in school. A disaster.

I could give him the joy don't give up on studying.

He always said, "What's the point?"

The only thing that interested him was "making".

But what to make?

What to make? Make money. Little Michel started trading Panini stickers

with which he received 1,300 francs earned from committees.

Because of this first success he was almost expelled.

Primary school results were awarded with a diploma at the commercial school.

Michel was then looking for a mentor.

His father refused to help him.

He then turned to the partner from the Ménard bank, Franck-David Boulanger.

Tell me about it your first meeting with Michel Ganiant.

I remember the day that that idiot stepped into my office.

He was 1 8.

I said I wanted to meet him to please his grandmother,

a childhood friend.

She said to me: "My stupid son-in-law

don't want anything to do with him,

see what you can do. "

He clearly had a lot of energy. I saw that.

I sent him to New York with a friend banker.

And we had left.

Gradually

he has become my spiritual son.

"Spiritual", so to speak.

Michel became the top banker of his department. And Boulanger's protégé.

The doors of Wall Street opened up to him.

But his only obsession was taking over the family business.

With a generous loan from Boulanger he bought shares from family members.

And so, at 24,

Michel Ganiant became CEO by Delouette-Ganiant and Co.

I am proud of my son Michel

to be appointed director

by Delouette-Ganiant and Co.

Thanks, Daddy.

Henri Ganiant!

He gave the venerable family affair another name right away.

His own story could finally begin.

The acquisition of Prévost Industries was his current priority,

but Michel also had to manage current affairs.

Where are we going? - You will be happy.

We join your friends, the strikers at Robotex.

Many would fit for this. Not me.

I have to accept my choices, no matter how painful they are,

and explain them to my employees.

Hence the tie? - I adapt to my audience.

Excuse me. Yeah, Debbie?

Where are you? Are you still there?

We are expected at 8am.

Ask Miguel to pick you up at the airport.

Kiss. I do you too. My wife

We have incredible places for Johnny Hallyday at the Stade de France

and she sponsors a charity ball in Monaco.

Lucky you have a jet.

For every journey I take,

I make a contribution to a group that plants trees.

The same trees you harvest in Indonesia for palm oil production?

I save the planet by creating jobs. What more do you want?

You must stop this bipolar view of the world.

Good and bad, masters and slaves. We are in the same hell!

Day.

Day. How are you? - Day. This way.

We brought some snacks. We were not sure

what you like to eat, so we brought everything.

This is a good site. So close to the center.

Really good. Day!

As a child, my grandmother often said:

"You can't have everything in life, Michel.

You have to make sacrifices. "

Why are you bringing those offerings then not this time?

Grab your bank account to save jobs.

We are not that many.

If that would help, I would, but it is not so.

Our goal

is Robotex again profitable. Agreement?

I want to save the case for you!

These redundancies serve to pay the wages decline and please shareholders.

Don't start with that nonsense again!

After this follows a meeting about your future, so let's be constructive.

His meeting is Johnny Hallyday.

What? - He has tickets to the concert.

With the works on the A86 he'll be out of here in an hour.

We put our cards on the table

and within the hour

everyone goes home satisfied.

I'm starting to know him well.

It's Johnny's concert ... - Johnny's concert ...

NO FIRES

We can't talk. Don't strike that tone.

If you take everything from people, they have nothing to lose.

That's demagogy, that's pointless.

Film, show how unions negotiate in this country.

Well, that's enough.

You don't leave until there is an agreement.

Back to the table. - Alright.

We are going to negotiate

and you don't leave until we have guarantees

about jobs and wages! Comrades!

Buddies at the last time

Hosted to battle

And D'Internationale ...

Give the kids a kiss from me. I'll call back if I know more.

An almond biscuit to boost morale?

They took all those with vanilla, the bastards. I prefer to eat it.

Are we deadlocked?

She does. Not me.

Have you been able to reach them? - Yes.

He will do the necessary. It won't be long.

Michel, play along.

This is the police chief. Release the hostages.

Michel Ganiant could eventually be released.

He was held captive by Robotex workers.

The conflict between workers and management

is about the layoff of 40% of workers.

The strikers believe this is a precondition

for the sale of the company to foreign investors.

The Ganiant group refutes everything and keep the discards.

How you doing, M. Ganiant?

We are happy to see you again. - That is nice.

What an adventure! Okay. See you within 5 minutes?

Okay. See you later.

Violence is unacceptable and leads to nothing.

Eat almond cookies for five hours

and broken lives and prosecutions.

What violence are we talking about here?

Do you think I like to fire people?

It takes guts to look at a man and fire him.

Is that your definition of "guts"? Fire people?

Stop that sarcasm. It's tiring. - I'm trying to understand.

Do your best more.

I tried.

The Robotex case had implications for Michel Ganiant:

His share dropped and it was serious.

Because Michel Ganiant didn't have enough cash to buy the shares of Prévost.

So he traded them for his own shares.

Like with his stickers.

1 from Ganiant for 5 from Prévost! They are worth it.

Okay.

An interesting deal as long as the share was high

and guaranteed an economical exchange.

1 from Ganiant for 5 from Prévost! They are worth it.

You're kidding. Did you see the stock price?

3 from Ganiant for 5 from Prévost. - Not cool.

To maintain the course, people had to buy Ganiant shares.

And so that they would buy them, if they wanted to. And then there is ...

My Dream Team. Bernard, my financial director.

Political Science, MBA Harvard Ex-Deputy Minister of the Budget

Marie-Christine, head of communications.

Political Science, Columbia University Ex-lobbyist for nuclear energy

She worked in nuclear energy, so she knows all about waste ...

Didier, head of purchasing.

Political Science, Yale, MBA Harvard Ex-Special Envoy - Budget

My name is Christophe ...

Awesome. Didier is a stupid name. - I'm Didier.

I never noticed that.

But was your head of the purchasing department ...

A black?

No. Paul resigned. Integration Problems ...

with the team. His papers were in order.

Actually, our teams are mixed.

Mixed, yes. There is Omar M'Bale,

Head of the Oil Service. In Equatorial Africa.

Also the son of dictator Ibrahim M'Bale,

who gave Ganiant the rights of the two largest ports in the region.

Or Puyi Li, Head of "China" Department,

cousin of the Chinese Commerce Minister, Xu Li.

And closer to home, at the headquarters,

M. Aziz Ben Saïdi, hygienically responsible.

What is your strategy?

We are going to make beautiful brochures,

beautiful presentation files with nice growth prospects,

for the press, for the rating agencies ...

Are you increasing the numbers? - Indeed.

But the best way to get his share to increase,

was to buy as many shares as possible.

Better and less expensive, make sure that his "friends" bought them. Such as:

Franck-David Boulanger, Philippe Monk, Joseph Klein and his team.

Franck-David Boulanger, mentor from his early days,

and Philippe Monk, his personal counsel.

Two of the men with the most connections in the Parisian business world.

We met in the 40 ...

That is not a partner exchange club, but an association for managers under 40.

A friend of the Ministry of Finance made me a member and ...

I forgot to say he has the most beautiful CV in France.

Political Science, ENA, Ministry of Finance.

The first time I saw it, I thought: "What a stupid."

I had just published my book: "When Spinoza meets Marx."

Michel felt intellectually threatened.

Yes, and a psychoanalyst in his spare time.

And ten years later we're here.

What does "personal counsel" mean?

We talk about projects, opportunities, possibilities.

In essence, I do nothing but talk.

Like god. "In the beginning was the Word."

Can we eat quietly now?

One more thing and then I'll leave you.

You are actually very complementary.

The politicians thanks to M. Monk and his contacts at the Ministry of Finance.

M. Boulanger and his economic networks.

And the persuasion and Michel Ganiant's leadership

to complete everything.

Very funny. We three work together

because we are friends.

This was not a friendship, but organized fattening.

Monk found companies to be acquired.

Boulanger organized the transactions with his bank.

And everyone stuffed themselves with various committees.

I am stuffed. - I told you to take the fish.

We agree?

This is the last time.

Otherwise, I'm going to pass as a stupid.

And be more discreet, okay?

If you don't do it for yourself, do it for me.

Boulanger agreed to be friends to convince bankers to buy shares

and make them available to love his pupil.

A good way to get the stock price defend without costing Michel anything.

Bye, Philippe. - We're still calling.

Yes. Thanks.

And now?

I sell a factory for household appliances to Spaniards.

Robotex isn't it? - You don't always do what you want.

It is again about "guts" ...

I need cash. And it makes the shareholders happy.

There they are. Señor Villarosa!

Mr. Ganiant!

Come to my office, you will not be disappointed.

That's new, isn't it? Is it for real?

Well done, Juan! Good job.

We should celebrate that. These are better than Castro's.

Nice huh? I just bought it. "Jester ...

... ship ", I know. I thought one of your museums owned it.

Thanks to my Foundation The national heritage and I so ...

You have to film my Foundation, Klein. - Yeah, okay.

The foundation

Indians from Amazon eat snakes to get their flexibility.

It's just the same with business people and works of art.

They hope by buying a Picasso to become aesthetes.

They buy and buy and aim a foundation with their name.

It's good for their image and they receive tax benefits.

But here too competition is fierce.

Very hard.

Bosch is my passion, Señor Ganiant. - I did not know that.

At home I have six of his works.

I buy your work. Your prize is mine.

15 million?

It is not an important job.

You are right. We forget the money, it's vulgar.

I propose an exchange.

This Beausch, Bosch, this work

that you want so badly, to something of yours that I want.

I'm afraid I understand you. What?

Your shares of Prévost Industries.

I told you, no! Jérôme is one ...

Yes, one of your friends.

You can make new friends. While available works by Bosch ...

You know how rare they are. - You tricked me.

No no. Consider it as an incredible opportunity.

Besides, I got an offer from Dubai.

An emir who thinks the colors match the bathroom tiles.

Bastard, bastard!

Creep in the gutter!

I speak Spanish, Juan. You're a bastard too.

Think. What do you want to see every morning?

A picture of your friend Jérôme Prévost

or this Bosch that will make everyone envy you?

Good!

Good!

You are going to hell, Ganiant.

We will keep each other company.

It was nice to see you again, Juan.

He seemed to have withdrawal symptoms to have.

How many are there already? Ten? Eleven! Well done!

Okay, goodbye.

That was Monk. I love him. This is thanks to him and his friend on Culture.

Did you really buy that painting of a museum?

Swap for a Bacon I had.

I loved it, but everyone must make sacrifices.

The best thing is that Prévost does not suspect anything.

Don't bother using art as a vulgar merchandise?

Van Gogh paid his rent with his work.

M. Ganiant, your lawyer is here. He says it's urgent.

I'm sure it's my complaint against Robotex.

It's a beautiful day. I will withdraw them.

Wait for me downstairs.

It's a little more complicated than I thought.

We'll stop filming for a few days. - That was not the deal.

You may film my next colonoscopy. But now my lawyer advises to stop.

Why?

A judge who wants some publicity at my expense.

We solve this.

Is there an investigation against you? - No, stay calm.

We solve this.

I'll call you as soon as everything is resolved. Okay?

An investigation is underway against him. That is great.

I suppose the investigation has nothing to do with you?

Who are you taking me for? A prophet of doom?

This case started with an ordinary tax check

from a forest company in Congo.

But isn't it convenient for you?

Let's say the dish occurs once at the right time.

Madam judge! - I'm not talking about an ongoing case.

Just a few words. What is Ganiant accused of?

Several testimonials point to Ganiant and its African partners

in a matter of capital flight. I can't say more.

Who do those testimonials belong to?

The System of the capital flight was easy.

Its suppliers invoiced Ganiant Corp. too much, with his agreement.

What would have cost 100, was billed to 110.

The extra 10, collected by suppliers,

was returned to a Swiss account in the name of Ganiant.

That is how he recovered money from his company,

tax free thanks to Swiss banking secrecy.

Effective, neat but illegal.

Michel quickly understood that the law is challenging was risky in the long term.

You thought the real gold nuggets in the flaws of the system.

Principle 3: Michel Ganiant owes its success to the market economy

Michel Ganiant owes its success to the shortcomings of the market economy

The "big hit" that made him set foot got to the VIPs of the business world

was the purchase of CSC: Channel Shipyards Company.

At that time, CSC was the millstone of the public sector

with a real core activity, badly organised,

but connected to the import activity of Ganiant Corp.

The state was looking for a buyer, but politically it was difficult.

Michel made an offer lower than the rest,

but he promised to keep jobs and even creating new ones.

It was larie, but Michel sold well.

Boulanger was behind him, everyone wanted to believe it. And the matter was settled.

This is how Ganiant Corp. grew.

Especially when it came to money. What happened next?

They force remission off debt,

they are going to beg for state aid for saving jobs ...

and did the opposite:

Layoffs, restructuring and sale of group companies.

Without refund of any state aid.

It was pure art.

Michel gave this success his modus operandi.

What will I find?

Bye, mister the shopkeeper, what's in your box

A few badly listed bonds

from timber companies, from cement companies, a shoe factory ...

I buy the wood company. - You have to take the package.

Okay, maybe there is a good thing in between.

Is it a gift?

No, it's for restructuring, to sell and make a profit.

Let's see ... Wood, cement ...

Look, I have shares in nickel mines in Africa!

A shoe brand for children.

That's how Michel Ganiant ended up in tobacco, cargo ships,

copper mines, the retail sector ... It really didn't matter.

Michel Ganiant was a player. All he made was money.

For himself, of course.

Thank you, master.

An indictment. It was to be expected.

The main thing is me be free during the investigation.

It's nice to see you. I have missed you.

Drop by for dinner.

Wait a second.

Arnaud? - Michel!

Monday morning I see Leon Mulderberg

to negotiate his shares from Prévost. He has 4.2%.

My friend Arnaud will introduce me to him. Arnaud Morello, of Morello Arms.

Yeah, I know. - Insider trading, the wretched.

He had to travel to cancel the Mosquito Islands.

Sorry, this time of year is it great. Were you already there?

No me... - Deborah likes it there.

Can you do something about the fountain?

Yes, it is practical. - Thank you.

Do you knit for the whole family? - No definitely not.

It's a collection that I do designed for a charity work.

"The Sting" by Deborah G.

The idea is to return to the classics from knitting fashion.

This is not Hermès Carré, but a Ganiant Carré.

Please. Another idea from me.

You knit, you paint, you make images ... Do you also sing?

Maybe soon, yes ...

I feel a growing need to express myself through notes.

Michel recently introduced record an album.

I'm thinking about it. Why not?

What attracted you to your husband?

His kindness. His deep humanity.

And his sense of humor. - And his bank account?

That goes without saying...

And if I had been ugly, Michel had never looked at me.

Would you love your wife if she was ugly?

I fall for ugly women, so my wife is perfect.

And I like rich men, so Michel is perfect.

Excuse me, Deborah, can you come here

You draw your plan. Pretend you are at home.

Preferably not, it's a pigsty for me.

Let's see what happens in the kitchen.

What are the photos for? - People Magazine.

Six pages with: "Woman, mother, artist: how is she doing?"

Nanny, two chefs, two gardeners. Doesn't that help?

Excuse me. My couch.

M. Klein, M. Michaud here. Good news.

What? - You have your loan. Happy?

Surprised.

The new office manager read your file again and decided to defend it.

It is very tasty.

What is it? Ratatouille.

I cannot wait for the reform. There's a judge after me.

Are you there yet? - Yes. We have to talk.

I will call you back.

You were told that you have cancer or are you happy to see me?

Daddy! - My little smurfs!

Come play with us, please. - Come on, Daddy.

I think Fatima gives them speed. Okay, 10 minutes.

I have a new ball. - No, 20 minutes.

30 minutes! - The kids are right, negotiate.

Who will take daddy first? - They were just taking a bath.

Fatima, the jackets!

Isn't it tiring, play the happy family all day?

Isn't it tiring judge people all the time?

Is it jealousy? Bitterness?

Michel always puts the children in bed. That's why we bought a helicopter.

Debbie! - Cuckoo! Look, look!

Very practical, the helicopter.

Fatima, the lace!

You go all night pulling a long face?

It is my fault that your loan was promised? Good for you.

Don't you think I am now have other things on my mind?

I warn you, your game doesn't pick up on me.

Stop moralizing.

Maybe your office director saw that you're a good guy.

Strangely enough, he was transferred to Jougnes in the Jura.

You have your apartment, that is amazing.

You are a revolutionary, Little. I am more pragmatic.

I adapt to the environment. - No, you create your environment.

The chicken, the egg, the chicken ... As long as we can make omelets.

When will we see your movie?

Yes when?

No idea. Now? We have a DVD with you.

That would be nice.

Come on, we'll prepare an espresso.

Honey, come on in, you're still going to get cold.

It's made quickly, no editing or anything.

It will be great.

In Indonesia it was called a village to me ...

Not interesting. I flush. This is good.

Here's my hole.

Jessica, I forgot our appointment.

I do not think so? The colors, the sharpness ...

You and beautiful girls is not a legend, then?

It's okay, isn't it?

You're really an asshole. And you too!

Debbie? Wait!

And you...

30 hours of recording ...

Baby ... - No luck.

You have to see it in context.

Stitch context where ... - Get out. Wait, Debbie!

I'm sorry, I didn't know ... - It's all right.

She goes to the Crillon, and she takes her suite with all the extras.

It's going to cost me a bomb, but tomorrow everything is forgotten.

Small, I'm an ordinary boy. We have an agreement, I'll keep it.

Tell me what you want about me, drag me through the mud, no problem.

Refuse your loan if it suits you better.

But leave Debbie and the kids. It won't help your movie.

That was not the intention.

Let's go have a digestif.

I refused the next day my loan with a heavy heart.

'tls official.

Michel Ganiant owns almost 20% of the capital of Prévost Industries.

He made his letter of intent to the stock exchange authorities

and stamps its position as "friendly condolences".

"Friendly"?

Someone who comes unannounced, breaks the front door

and join the table we don't call "friend".

But I note the presence of Mr. Ganiant in our capital

and will therefore occur in the best interest of the group. Thank you.

M. Prévost! Do you fear a takeover?

Unfortunately, Judge Lebovici not impressed with this victory.

She continued her research

and had a search at the headquarters of Ganiant Corp.

Yes, Debbie. I know, I'm an idiot ...

How so? You leave the hotel?

But where are you going?

Not the phone? - Yes, the phone.

I will call you back. It is absurd. If there...

Thank you.

You lose your time.

But you have enough time, don't you?

Here we go.

The capital of Prévost. Now, with me.

It's in the statutes. Any shareholder with more than 15% of the shares

automatically sits on the board.

What we do is continue buying shares, but now

we try these gentlemen convince you to vote for a merger

between Prévost Industries and Ganiant Corp.

What is that? - My help.

Franck-David and Monk are going to help us. When you talk about the devil.

Played enough.

Come on! Hurry up!

Are you okay? - Are you following him or should I help you?

Michel? - I don't know.

Very well. Thank you. There you go.

Unbelieveable. - I warned you, Michel.

'it's over! Past!

Why did you have to do that stupid with the Villarosa family?

How do you mean? - Stupid, yes, owl chick!

Thanks to you, I was expelled from management from the Banca de Catalona!

The son-in-law is the wife's cousin from the CEO of the bank.

Well done, Sherlock!

In 50 years of service I became never been so humiliated.

You are on your own. Your shares, your support ... your problem!

But Franck ... - Not "but Franck ..." anymore.

You wouldn't listen. You played with the cameras.

Keep it up, but without me.

They still said it: "Watch out, he's a daredevil.

He will drag you along. " But I supported you

because I considered you my son.

I should have known by the way you treated your father.

You helped me, remember? - Because he was stupid!

Your father is a fool. Do you see me that way?

You don't know ... - Enough, Michel. It's over.

I said what to say.

Do what you have to do, okay?

Happy? Is it canned?

You're a nuisance ...

It will blow over. As Spinoza said ...

Bought Spinoza Prévost Industries?

That he then remains silent.

I am happy and proud

Ganiant Corp. to unite with

a large group such as Prévost Industries.

Contrary to some rumors

we don't want to interfere with their business.

I have complete confidence in Jérôme Prévost.

That was the speech. Ask?

Prévost Industries owns the number 1 in the French football league,

you the number 2. Is that a problem?

Yes.

If you work for a big newspaper,

your salary depends from a man like Ganiant

or of the pages publicity that man when he buys.

So, if you can't spit in the soup, you better serve them.

Mr. Director, how do you explain the high profits of your group?

They are there for you.

Do you foresee large investments?

If the company wins, everyone wins.

Being life, health, love uncertain. Why would work be different?

Sometimes I lie, but always in good faith.

For the unions to act, stop working.

Real luxury is having enough money and realize it's useless.

M. Klein, what a nice surprise!

You say you wish the best for Prévost Industries.

But we are among friends,

so say something about those who support you.

Those who support me?

Does Boulanger still support you?

Boulanger is a friend.

Yes, but does he support you?

I have his friendship, that's what counts.

That will do. Thank you.

I'm being screened, my wife has time needed to "think natively", Boulanger sulks.

Damn you want my skin?

I thought you wanted crafty? - And faithful

Ever heard of loyalty?

Franck-David was right, this is nonsense. We quit.

It's too late to back out.

Interrupt a film about transparency is not good for the share price.

Damn fucking condition!

That's how the charm offensive started for the Prévost directors.

Ultra-secret deals.

Okay? Do you hear me? I'm playing the game, okay?

Dear Mr. Rein, how are you? - Very good...

This is my project for Ganiant Corp. and Prévost Industries.

Without Boulanger your idea seems risky to me.

What are your conditions? - You are asking me a great favor.

What do you want in exchange for your support?

A company car for my daughter ... - Which colour?

Why keep Prévost? I support you if you promise to fire him.

It's about the future for us, for our children.

I told you. I don't like you. I am not going to help you.

I understand that. In parentheses, how's Jacqueline?

Which Jacqueline? - Come on. I have pictures.

Go ahead, my wife is aware.

That will ease the shock when she does get the cover i made.

It's great what they are now do for kids.

Do you see? If they fall, they don't hurt ...

Okay okay! I do.

I want all photos. You have my support.

Awesome. I'm happy.

There is a problem. There are no photos.

But I'm wearing a micro that makes your statement about Jacqueline.

That also counts, I think? One, two, three, test ...

Wait, no one will ever know. - It is not.

I don't participate in blackmail.

Funny, you had no problem with it at the time show those images to my wife.

That is not the same. - Okay. It's class with you, disgusting with me.

It's manipulation with you! - No, cooperation.

You use my press conferences for your free stand.

I use your presence for my projects.

But my images are mine. That was the agreement.

My lawyers made the contract. They know all the back doors.

Come on, don't sulk. We are almost there.

We are going to have a drink.

Yes, we drink it.

The direct confrontation can only lead to an impasse.

He sulks, right?

He's a vulture.

I had to change my approach, nothing more.

And the right time wait to strike.

Small? Ganiant here. Listen, this is ridiculous.

It would be stupid our project stop because of a misunderstanding.

Small, Ganiant here. The contract states that I ...

Small, I know that you are there. Answer ...

M. Small, hello. Deborah Ganiant here.

I'm calling you to apologize for my insults.

I would also recommend you want to ask a favor ...

Deborah came back and organized a "surprise party" for her husband.

It was obvious that Ganiant had arranged everything.

To tighten the bonds of friendship and to compensate for his break with Boulanger.

Everything fine? - Yes.

Can you film so well? - Yes No problem.

I hadn't seen it. Perfect. Black suits you well.

He is coming!

Happy Birthday!

This was your idea, wasn't it?

I'm sorry,

but I'm here for an intimate dinner with my wife, you should go.

This is your job, isn't it, Debbie?

No, really, it's ...

A great surprise. Thank you for coming.

Are you there too? Are you no longer mugging?

You should become an actor. That's why you're here.

Christiane, how are you?

And your husband? He comes? Thanks, that's sweet.

Philippe ... - Happy Birthday.

Could you reach everyone? - Yes, and I have good news.

I found Prévost's brother. - You're kidding?

No. - Yes.

Verd ... - Call Franck-David.

Questions are asked. - No. Mr. President!

They were there for their "dear one friend Michel "to celebrate.

And at the same time they maintained the network,

this strange mixture of blood relationship and stepfamily.

Magistrate, godfather of the daughter of ...

Inspector of the Court of Audit, slept with ...

Financial director, member of the Board of Directors of ...

Press magnate, plays golf with ...

Whether you're in politics, the business world, the court or the artistic,

being someone means knowing everyone.

Michel ... - I didn't see you, Arnaud. Everything fine?

Franck-David not coming? Deborah invited him.

Day... - Michel, happy birthday.

What's that rumor about Franck-David?

You know the press. The most important thing is that you are there.

Thanks for the invitation. - Your wife is still very beautiful.

All that fuss about Franck-David gets on my nerves. Jim!

Why did you come back this time? - That's the way between Michel and me.

We love eachother, we're going to split up, we'll be back together.

Who else could give me such a present? - Which?

Michel reserved the Grand Rex for my album.

Did you record a CD? - Not yet. We still have two months.

How difficult can it be? Have fun.

Stunning. Crazy. I love it.

I loved having Franck-David spoken. Is he not coming?

Yes, he is coming.

I was just about to call him.

Franck-David, it's me. I need to talk to you.

I know I'm a mess but you have to come.

It was only for a moment.

Yvonne, good evening. Can I have Franck-David?

The fourth heart attack of Franck-David Boulanger was the last.

There would be no reconciliation between the mentor and his pupil.

Michel Ganiant was an orphan, only with his big project.

Only for these industrialists, these financiers,

these ministers who are this great man came to pay your last respects.

Franck-David was more than a friend to me.

He was more than a father.

He taught me everything.

Without him I would be nothing today.

Some will say he was hard, inoffensive, sometimes short-tempered.

That is also the case,

but he was always there for those he loved.

There are 2 ways to seduce people. Money is one, but you never have enough.

And then there are the stories.

Everyone loves stories. Fairytales, legends.

Stories make sense to a chaotic world.

That's us, that is the essence of our profession.

We are dream sellers.

I remember his last words:

"You don't need me anymore."

For once you were wrong, Franck-David.

I will always need you.

Always.

I will need you, yes.

And you. Yes, you.

To help me maintain

of the memory of this great man

that I proudly call "my friend" could call.

This guy knows no bounds. But he was right:

Prévost was worth a miss.

It starts to look like something.

Philippe Monk on the line. About Charles Prévost.

Do you believe in guardian angels?

He'll be able to do it, the idiot.

Monk had Charles Prévost found through his diplomatic contacts.

He lived in seclusion on Saint Barth. A Tax Paradise,

where by surprise Michel Ganiant had a yacht.

I didn't know a big one would wobble like that ...

To save the Tibetan monks

The Africans are starving

Thank you. Do you bring some water for the dog?

You actually sing all day.

Yes. The weather inspires me.

And? - It's done.

It's my first time be milked and happy.

We can start over if you want. - Okay.

Health!

On the future!

So M. Prévost has have shares been transferred?

This is the new Deputy Director of the Ganiant-Prévost group.

Jérôme and I argued for ten years.

About a woman, as often happens. In this case, his.

I decided France to leave with my sailing ship.

That's how I ended up on Saint Barth

where I have since live modestly from the dividends

which Jérôme pays me.

Damn... - What?

There ... That's a shark. - True?

Over there! Damn it, a shark.

Where's my shark wetsuit?

No. Not without your instructor. You promised it.

There is no danger. I want have been trying for two months.

Do something! - Don't do it, Michel.

Michel, don't do it!

Calm down, sharks don't kill each other ...

You don't even know what kind of shark it is.

He's going to get some meat! We have to lure it.

Sharks do not eat shellfish.

No, Charlie!

Get it out. - No problem, honey. I am going already.

No! Charlie!

As I said, they do not eat shellfish.

It was time to go home.

Ultimately, Michel had Ganiant won.

Thanks to the shares of Charles Prévost was able to acquire Ganiant Prévost Industries.

The only thing that still had to happen, was to make it official.

Seen a formality the support that Ganiant had obtained.

I myself was reduced to the role he had assigned to me,

a witness of his great victory.

We are doing this again

My apologies, I'm a little late.

We can start.

It's time to vote.

Who is for the merger of Ganiant Corp. and Prévost Industries?

The proposal has been accepted.

Ganiant's victory was complete. Except for one detail ...

I forgot to mention it.

I am now the owner of 55% of the shares of Ganiant Corp.

Ganiant Corp. had Prévost Industries bought up,

but Ganiant Corp. was now owned by Jérôme Prévost.

I thought you did this, with your will spectacle, could taste.

It was clear that

while I was following Michel, another one film was made in the wings.

Principle 4: It is nothing personal

Or maybe ...

A movie whose hero Dasyat was ... Dass ... Dasyatidae ...

a Stingray. With a very poisonous bite.

That Charles Prévost was almost fatal, but led to the fall of Michel Ganiant ...

I was swimming calmly

when I suddenly a severe pain in the stomach.

By a happy coincidence I was not far from the beach.

I was delirious for three days.

At that time I saw my dead father

who urged me to reconcile with my brother.

Family and friends are often the biggest impostors ...

Good news. - What?

I found Prévost's brother. - You're kidding?

Actually took Charles Prévost contact Monk.

With a simple offer: working with them to save the realm of Prévost.

As we saw, Ganiant relied for his share capital

on the exchange of shares.

Hit that way a large number of his own shares

spread over numerous minority shareholders.

Nothing dangerous because those involved were scattered.

The chance that they would get together to take control of Ganiant Corp.

Was pretty much nonexistent. However, that is what Monk did,

Supported by the generous committees by Jérôme Prévost,

and with the ultimate contribution from his brother Charles.

Everything depended of the purchase of my shares.

Ganiant was so eager to finish it that he gave me an exchange rate

for my shares and his

which was insane.

He thought it was the price of the victory was.

But in fact

he gave us his own group on a tray.

It was just a challenge. Their plan was so simple in design

and such a huge challenge that we should do it.

For once I'm going to quote Michel myself:

"It is nothing personal, it is purely business. "

Okay, that's enough.

An earthquake in the economic world. Everyone expected Ganiant Corp.,

Michel Ganiant's group, Prévost Industries would acquire.

But the opposite happened.

A hard blow to it the "wonder boy of the business world".

Besides, there are waiting for him criminal prosecutions.

The investigation of his affairs continues.

We have hard evidence

and everything is done to bring him to justice.

In complete independence.

Do not disturb you M. Ganiant! You go. Or I call police!

We come to see how it is with him. Michel!

Leave him...

Let him have his share of it "Ganiant the loser",

like the other vultures.

She's gone again.

With the kids.

Until everything has passed.

With luck they come to me visit once a month.

On the playground they will say:

"Those are the children of a thief,

An asshole who abused the system. "

I just wish they were proud of me.

They certainly are, Michel. I wanted to speak to you about the movie.

Your movie can be stolen from me.

There is no more film.

Wait, I know now not easy to hear,

but I find it interesting would be to film further.

What to film? "The look and fall of a bastard"?

No, that's nonsense.

My lawyers are in contact record with you.

Why?

They found something ...

They told me

that you like the images you made should not use.

That's censorship!

You are not Galileo either who is led to the executioner.

With or without the movie, you have lost.

Perhaps...

But you are there for free.

He was right. I thought that the truth would floor Ganiant.

But in fact only money can beat money.

Only a Prévost was able to cut a Ganiant.

The next day I got a letter from his lawyers.

My images have been blocked.

Ganiant Corp. became acquired by Prévost Industries

before it was partially sold, after restructuring and relocation.

Jérôme became Prévost the following year the 4th largest fortune in France.

Monk, next to his activities as an advisor to the new entity,

created his own investment fund with the support of the Prévosts.

As for Michel Ganiant, the case of the capital flight brought him

a sentence of 2 years in the VIP section of the prison.

It was the end of an era and the end of my movie.

The end of Michel G. Ex-billionaire. Ex-ruler of the world.

And then ...

18 months later

"The world of tomorrow - Capitalism with a human face ", by Michel Ganiant

Small, Joseph Small!

He knows me. Tell him.

For real? Can you tell me where he is?

Thank you.

Nice to see you again. Are you losing weight?

Before I forget, you may broadcast the images.

You can reveal my secrets. - Awesome.

Now that you've told everything in your book ...

"3 weeks best-selling essay". That is another good promotion.

So people read anyway. - You were right.

I admitted my mistakes, turned turned the page and people followed me.

In summary, 6 months in prison from the original 2 years.

For good behavior.

You publish on your release your pensum. Summarized:

The system is rotten, I made it part of it but today I repent

and together we create a "new capitalism"

that is fair and responsible.

Isn't it? - You seem to be in doubt.

It's just you just created an investment fund

with your "friends" from 2 years ago.

Seems very good on what you used to do.

Not at all. We invest in organic and fair trade products.

Do you speculate in sustainable development?

No, we support it.

You will never change. - Stop preaching.

Yes, I was lucky. But I took my chance and made it happen.

Look at me. I was rich, I was poor.

What did I learn?

I don't know. "What has not been given is lost"?

"Wealth is worth nothing if not shared "?

"A more righteous one world is possible "?

Rich is better.

I had not seen you.

I'm composing.

This is...

just a melody. Nothing special.

Today there is war

Unemployment and cheating

They wouldn't should exist

Let humanity committed anyway

... three, four ...

I'm the woman of a billionaire

But that's for real secondary

The world is ripped off

And that is a heavy verdict

Save the monks from Tibet

Africans are dying of hunger

Get the economy from the swamp

The victims ...

What rhymes with hunger? Africans are starving ...

The victims are only getting younger.

Yeah, younger ... The victims are only getting younger.
