Chapter 71 The Nature of Wall Street
Except for the marketing and hype.
Another driving factor behind Victoria's Secret's success is its cheap styling.
Through continuous promotion and marketing, it gives people the feeling that "my mother is a luxury you cannot afford".
But in fact, most of its products are not expensive at all.
At best, it can only be considered a light luxury, a fleeting luxury. This sense of contrast has greatly aided its sales.
This is the second selling point and it is also very easy to imitate.
But in reality, the acquisition of Victoria's Secret failed and a new company was formed to compete with Victoria's Secret.
For Abel, it's just part of his business plan.
At first, he wanted to buy Victoria's Secret, but he suddenly remembered the Victoria's Secret models of that time. He likes many models, such as young Ji Niangniang, KK, Lima, Eugene, etc.
It also wants a bit of plum, or an enhanced version.
Combined with the current Victoria's Secret, it's still relatively cheap.
You can buy it and develop it for a few years, then wait for the cars in their prime to retire.
Or when he gets bored playing. Victoria's Secret has also reached its peak value and will then be sold off.
You can play with the most eye-catching models of the age of gods and win billions of dollars in the process.
Why not do that?
It's just that Les Wexner doesn't follow his script at all.
Refuse to sell Victoria's Secret. This made him a bit uncomfortable.
Even if The Wexners later regretted it.
He doesn't want it anymore.
But you have to breathe, and at the same time he wants to play with these models.
He also wants to make money from Victoria's Secret. THEREFORE. Then you just need to spend the same amount and launch another brand yourself.
Delete Victoria's Secret, speak up.
He believes facing more attractive exposure and remuneration opportunities.
Age of Gods models who can sign a contract with Victoria's Secret certainly won't be able to refuse her invitation. So it happens like this.
He plans to find Michael Levine and let the latter plan such an enterprise.
During this time, I will acquire another mid-sized underwear brand and follow Victoria's Secret's journey on this underwear brand firsthand.
Success is of course better, and failure is just a waste of hundreds of millions of dollars.
It is for financial market participants and his profits easily reach hundreds of millions. It's really nothing.
Above all, Abel saw through the nature of Wall Street.
To put it mildly, Wall Street is the financial center of the free world.
But is it really free?
Countless facts and examples prove that Wall Street is really a place where a group of people use finance to profit and compete for interests around the world. In this place, financial talent cannot be used to go crazy.
Even if it was predictable, it wouldn't be successful.
This place is too bright, it's easy to get black hands.
These hackers include, but are not limited to:
Joint operations to suppress the market,
Investigation by relevant services,
Remove the network cable directly.
Seriously, even on the convertible deep well ice gunner set. If indeed in the financial markets, companies like Goldman Sachs, MG and Rockefeller are in a hurry.
They will definitely use physical means directly.
There are only two ways to avoid this situation.
One is development, before they succeed in eliminating you with this method, develop yourself to their level and their equal.
Second, join them, be a dog in the beginning and see if you can become one of the leaders at a later stage. Abel doesn't want to be a dog, he wants to try to be on par with these people.
Even above them.
After seeing these natures clearly, he maintained a humble attitude.
Including but not limited to social silence from the beginning as well as prudence in financial transactions.
In fact, during the previous dotcom bubble. By selling short, he can make more money.
For example, short put options can make more money than a "dumb" company's stock.
But he chose not to.
He would rather make less money but also keep a low profile and keep himself safe.
There are more and more transactions in the international metal market and foreign exchange market, and each time he tries his best to agree to the deal. Smith Capital has been established for six months.
If he is immoral.
Thanks to his abilities, he copes with the snowballing instinct of financial capital.
Currently, he estimates his net worth has surpassed the richest person today, Mr. Bill Gates.
If that is the case, then countless problems will follow. Because much of finance is itself a zero-sum game.
He can earn tens of billions, which means some people lose tens of billions.
The only ones that stand to lose tens of billions are Goldman Sachs, Merrill Lynch and MG.
He dared to let them lose so heavily, while he was unable to stand.
So they dare to directly make it disappear. If he were from the Heavenly King, these people would have suffered such a big loss.
There is a good chance that everyone's safety can be guaranteed.
But she is an old beauty, if she has no refuge from a guy of the same class.
If they lose that much, their minds will likely expand.
From the beginning, Abel tried his best to stem his profits in the financial markets. Only if he has the ability to BUG,
It took ten months to accumulate billions of dollars in net worth.
It's not that he doesn't know that doing these things can make him more money.
On the contrary, he was cautious and did not dare to earn that much.
I discussed the Victoria's Secret incident with David and decided to drop Victoria's Secret.
The two ended their conversation on this matter. David is very busy,
It monitors merchants, traders,
Efficient execution of Abel's trading requirements for international crude oil futures.
Also watch for any signs of problems with Smith Capital.
Sometimes I have to be Abel's babysitter,
Help him contact and buy companies he likes.
For example, now David is about to send someone to sign the contract with CAA shareholders that Abel has obtained.
Buy caa stocks. For his part, Abel can pat his butt and leave after drinking the Geisha coffee that David made for him.
But he just left David's office, not the company.
He returned to his chairman's office.
After closing the door.
He called. The call was quickly connected.
"What is the problem?" On the other side of the phone, Alexander Smith's impatient voice rang out.
"Good afternoon dad."
"Tell me. What do you want me to do? Please call me, something must be wrong."
"Hey, what you said is not the same. When you call me, nothing always happens!
Only my dear mother remembers to call me when she misses her son. "
"Worry." Alexandre said on the other end of the phone:
"Hurry up and talk about everything.
I'm busy right now, fxxk.
Doing these things is busier than raising cattle and sheep! "
"Alright."
September is approaching and the election season is about to begin.
Abel also knows that Alexander is probably very busy right now. He got straight to the point: "Dad, do you have Wayne LaPierre's contact information?"
"Wayne LaPierre? Why do you want this guy's contact information?"
"Well, it looks like this."
Abel said about his deal with Bloomberg.
"You mean let me call Wayne LaPierre. Tell him to meet this Yankee?"
Bloomberg was born in Massachusetts, in the northeastern United States.
At that time he was also a member of the Northern Alliance, still a divine member. He said he was a Yankee, no problem.
Like Texas was the mainstay of the Dixie boys.
"That's right, if you feel embarrassed then forget it.
This guy's preferences don't reach this level. Abel said.
"No problem. I'll call." Alexander spoke there.
"Okay. Thanks dad."
"Correct." Alexander replied then said:
"Call Emily when you're free. Now I'm busy, she's even busier.
Now she is in charge of the Smith farm, she is very busy and hard working. "
"I know."
"That's it. I have to go to Houston tonight."
"Alright."
The phone was hung up.
