"Now emerges "Bolloré, the sea wolf," revealed in L'Express. The young entrepreneur is not only the savior heir, the convincing negotiator, and the social boss: he is also a killer. "Tristan Vieljeux was convinced that he would drive us to bankruptcy," Bolloré justified at the time. "But we counterattacked by focusing on his fragmented capital, the company's weak point." With the family tree of the Protestant family constantly on his desk, Vincent slowly brought them all down, starting with the heiress, Francine, who was married to an executive fired by Tristan, until the cousin Jacques, who didn't want to be the last one to board "the Sperm Whale," a nickname given by the raider to the shipowner. By the end of May 1991, Tristan Vieljeux surrendered, and the fleet of around fifty boats would now fly the Bolloré flag."

"François Pinault personally took care of setting his own table and that of his wife, Maryvonne. At his table, there were, of course, the friendly presidential couple, Jacques and Bernadette, but also some of his old Breton friends, as well as Ambroise Roux and... Bernard and Hélène Arnault. "The godfather and the peer, the only ones in this assembly who, perhaps along with Albert Frère, he considers capable of competing with him," writes Nazanine Ravaï in La République des vanités. François Pinault and Bernard Arnault "follow each other's every move," she writes."
