Chapter 40

Chapter 40: Ikana is smart

Abel and D. Ikana Lerner talked and laughed.

But unlike Paris imagined, the two were flirting.

The two men discussed Ikana's clothing brand and the market situation of American clothing brands.

"In June this year, in the federal territory, the CPI clothing index increased by 0.5%, up 5.1% over the same period last year.

Ikana, a graduate of two top business schools, MIT and Wharton, was calm and competent when explaining his ideas. The performance of a super strong woman was shown in Hollywood and many American television series.

"Despite recent price increases, overall retail clothing prices have increased only 1.9% over the average price since 1998."

"Overall prices are up 15.9% over the average since 1998."

Ikana looked at Abel, "Mr. Smith, do you know what this means?"

What does it mean?

Abel was actually a bit confused.

It is true that he is serious about studying financial knowledge but because of his hacking abilities.

The reality is that he doesn't really want to study. Because he could spend a lot of money, he invited the most powerful accountants and actuaries.

Invite financial elites like David Mellon to help execute the plan.

These people, in the most obvious way.

Make him understand the twists and turns of the financial sector.

He doesn't have to worry about them lying to him, because his hook can distinguish truth from falsehood. He just needs to have a good brain and a good soul.

Much of his time was spent developing his own plans for the future.

When I have free time, I spend all my free time flirting with girls.

It cannot be said that the time spent learning financial knowledge is pitiful.

It's not a big deal. Now that D. Ikana Lerner said these words, he only half understood.

But he won't be like the others, because he wants Ikana back, he doesn't know how to pretend he knows.

He smiled straightly and said: "Sorry, I don't know much about the clothing market.

But I know that this market must be profitable. What luxury brand doesn't produce ready-to-wear clothes?

What luxury brand doesn't make clothes? "

"Over time, I will trust Ms. Lerner to be with you.

It must be able to expand its stores across the US like GAP. "

GAP (Gap) is currently one of the largest clothing companies in America. When the company was founded in 1969, it had only a handful of employees.

But today it has more than 2,200 chain stores.

Annual revenue of more than 8 billion US dollars, is a multinational company with 115,000 employees.

"Thank you for your wishes." Ikana answered with a smile.

If it is a private brand, it can be as successful as GAP. Ikana woke up smiling from her dream.

Compared to Paris Hilton's relationship with Abel, it is completely different.

Ikana, who studied at two major business schools, before meeting Abel today.

She had studied many of Abel's investment experiences since he had been in New York for ten months.

Many of its activities are trackable and can be made public. It's easy to tell whether a person with a heart spends more time, energy, and kindness.

Because it's not a secret, it's completely frank.

Ikana studied them.

After a while of research, she discovered...

Abel's financial and investment activities found no traces of the various investment models proposed by scholars.

It is also inconsistent with the various investment concepts of market analysis. It appears to be a completely random investment and activity.

But every time he made a profit and a huge profit.

It's very magical.

Even on Wall Street, some have called him a financial prophet.

Compared to Paris Hilton's ignorance, D. Ikana Lerner summarizes her life at age fourteen.

After some investigation, I learned that Albert was born a wealthy farmer in Texas.

I immediately understood that it was a piece of rough jade.

It will probably be a new character in the style of Peter Lynch, Warren Buffett or Benjamin Graham.

Why isn't Soros mentioned here? Because he is different from these three Wall Street godfathers.

Soros is a full-time expatriate, and before his successful takeover of the British pound in 1991, he struggled in the financial sector for many years.

I've been on the middle road several times and almost went bankrupt when investing in silver.

The first three have never lost money since their exposure to the financial sector.

Everything is going well, different from normal people. Similar to Ikana's comments, in fact, many people on Wall Street or New York have also made such comments.

That's why so many people are willing to get closer and even sympathize with this little Dixie from Texas.

When Peter Lynch and Buffett first appeared, many people invested in them early on.

Afterwards, they all received very rich rewards!

Simply put, it's about money.

Everyone believes that Wall Street trades every ten years. There will always be one or two indescribable financial geniuses.

For example, Peter Lynch follows Benjamin Graham, Buffett follows Peter Lynch.

After Buffett, why can't it be Abel Smith?

Anyway, it's not about investing in him to destroy his assets, but rather taking some of his money to manage his finances.

Even if you read it wrong, it won't hurt your bones. Since the end of last year, David Mellon has helped Abel receive many invitations to various parties, he is speechless and irritable.

For this reason, D·Ikana Lerner has clear goals for her future.

Naturally, she was happy to communicate with Abel, and at the same time she also liked the feeling of attention.

Especially the envious, jealous and hateful looks of some famous figures from the wealthy world in New York, people who resemble Paris, even Paris itself.

This made Ikana even happier. "Other people" are simply precocious and intelligent, knowing what they want and what they should do.

It's not that she doesn't have pride.

She is also a girl, a girl born in a materialistic place like New York!

Of course.

Ikana also has a good personality and has good IQ and EQ.

Unlike Paris, if it were Paris at that time, she would probably always bother Abel. For her part, Ikana listened with a smile on her face as Abel chatted with the people around her.

She knew very well that the people around her, including Baron Hilton, should not talk about her.

Even his father, D. Ted Lerner, could not offend anyone.

Especially his father, a real estate developer, has gone bankrupt many times. It can be said that there is no bank in New York where he is not in debt.

Each bank is its creditor.

Even the money to create Ikana's own brand was initially borrowed from D. Ted Lerner at the bank.

Make no mistake, Ikana's "Miss Ikana" clothing brand, her father owns 40% of the shares. This is actually a common situation among wealthy second-generation businessmen.

Dr. Ted Lerner started his business with $1 million from his family.

It was the 70s, a million dollars back then was not a small amount of money.

D·Ikana Lerner is very measured, especially after Abel gets her coordinates.

After going out for two days, she became more and more beautiful with a smile. D. Ted Lerner is a character I associate with famous American real estate agent Ted Lerner and is someone who knows how to do it.

It makes sense, who is his daughter Ikana, do you know that?
