Primary Evidence

"the Arnault and Savinel families rub shoulders with Jean-Pierre and Régis Willot but do not socialize with them. The Willot brothers are neighbors, as are the Mulliez family (who would later found Auchan), but they are only greeted furtively. Instead, they seek recognition, even an invitation from the Tiberghien, Prouvost, Masurel, Dewavrin, and other prominent families, often in vain."

"Bernard Arnault has won. With a stake of 40 million francs, he becomes the boss of Boussac, which has returned to private ownership and will be worth 8 billion three years later. That same evening, he invites his colleagues to dinner at Laurent, one of the best restaurants in Paris. He is delighted, but does not show it much. Restraint is part of his character. Above all, the agony of his beloved grandmother Savinel, who is dying in Lille, spoils his pleasure."
