neutral  RHELLER: where exactly do you see the term potential?
47 mins
  -> en puissance, but then it could be in power, not potential
disagree  xxxJane Lamb-Ru: also, we don't say the industrial, that's French..
55 mins
  -> I meant "industrialist", bien sur
disagree  xxxdf49f: contre-sens (et terminologie financière incorrecte) - meaning: guy No.1 (V. Boloré) has increased his stakeholding in the company (Havas) of guy No. 2 (A. de Pouzihlac) and then got the latter kicked out as CEO

agree  Charlie Bavington: that's certainly the general idea. The "industriel" could refer to a company, not a person - only the fuller context would tell us (or some web research!)
13 mins
  -> I think it's a person but cannot really tell
agree  Andreea Vintila
17 mins
agree  emiledgar: yes, but maybe "...industrialist's increased stake"
41 mins
  -> and the verb then?
agree  xxxdf49f: oui - et l'industriel breton se réfère à Mr. Boloré, industriel/financier et repreneur d'entreprises bien connu en France, et à sa relation avec Havas in which he has indeed increased his stakeholding

Explanation:
to properly translate this, you need to find out exactly how much he owns..it can mean several thing..one needs to know the breakdown in percentage of ownership...

montée en puissance means: a power to contend with..rise to power..the problem is: one has to know what that means by knowing how much he actually owns and others

for example: if he owns 30% that Could Be a lot..depends on the other shareholders
