As \u00c1ngel Ron1<\/sup> narrates, this involved gradually buying shares available in the market and then those held by the board members, one by one. \u00c1ngel Ron2<\/sup> continues, “Valls began looking for investors to buy the shares of Millet and other directors of the Popular until he acquired 10% of the capital. These transactions led to the replacement of the old directors with Catalan friends of Luis’ family: Ribalta, Soldevila, Buix\u00f3, Serra, and also the Valencian Miralles. It was a delicate process because it did not have the approval of the majority of the directors, and a major potential competitor, Banco Central, was interested in acquiring Popular. When that group of shareholders had acquired more than 10% of the share capital, they proposed Luis Valls as executive vice president. Former major shareholders like Gancedo also supported him.”<\/em>It was the year in 1957.
