Chapter 179 Daily life in New York

While chatting with David, Michael Levine finally came running over.

This former senior broker and one of the senior partners of the firm CAA.

He is currently the general manager of Elizabeth's Garden and also the general manager of AB Smith Entertainment.

It's just that the position of general manager of AB Smith Entertainment is even more honorable for Michael.

Because the various subsidiaries of this company are all very independent. ab Smith Entertainment only plays a controlling role.

Several film investments were also made in August this year.

In other words, there really aren't that many jobs at ab Smith Entertainment.

Fewer jobs than the Ab Smith newspaper.

It also allowed Michael to focus more on Elizabeth's garden. Especially now, this is the biggest and most exciting Issa program of the year.

It will be held in Times Square in less than ten days.

As soon as he entered the room, Abel asked worriedly:

"Any questions? Let me know about any problems you have before it's too late, Michael, you know I take them seriously."

Of course, Michael Levine knew what his boss meant.

The former senior CAA agent immediately spoke loudly:

"BOSS, you know! There's no problem now, everything is prepared, there's only one day left!"

Hearing her direct answer, Abel nodded slightly. Elizabeth's garden didn't even have any produce.

But a total of 100 stores have been established in major cities across America.

These businesses were successively renovated a month ago.

This event is also scheduled to take place on December 25 this year.

It's Christmas day. About a hundred stores were open at the same time.

Due to the urgency, the product was ordered with Huaxia OEM.

Even shipped by air.

in other words.

Immediately after the Isa Show, Elizabeth's Back Garden will officially open. In addition to this job.

The most important thing remaining at Isha Company is of course the Isha Show.

This is the brand new Elizabeth garden.

Whether it can win word of mouth in the United States or even around the world is an important battle.

For this reason, Elizabeth's garden would cost nearly hundreds of millions of dollars. Most of this money is spent on public relations, but site preparation is the least expensive.

These hundreds of millions of dollars are aimed at an unprecedented super publicity.

In Times Square, New York, where the European and American worlds intersect, an underwear advertising campaign!

did it because Abel remembered it.

Elizabeth's back garden imitates Victoria's Secret, which is why it succeeds in parallel space and time.

In addition to the luxury price is relatively cheap. Most importantly, Victoria's Secret is very effective in marketing and leveraging traffic.

That is also the most decisive factor in the success of Victoria's Secret.

Three months ago, after confirming Wexner did not want to sell Victoria's Secret.

Or want to trick Abel himself to get some money.

An angry Abel created Elizabeth's garden. For three months.

Models signed with Victoria's Secret are basically hired by Isa.

So the initial pact on this issue was very simple for Victoria's Secret.

I have to increase costs and make contracts tighter.

Therefore, newly signed models cannot easily change careers like original models. But it's too late.

In the case of Yisha Company, they dug for a month.

Time and space are parallel.

Victoria's Secret Age of the Gods, this best model series.

Now they are all signature models of Elizabeth's garden, and they have become Isa's children living in Elizabeth's garden. High-quality car models are eliminated, popular routes are imitated, even surpassed.

Victoria's Secret's good momentum is due to Wexner's poor judgment.

In this time and space, there is no possibility of significant growth.

Unless Wexner's team is also anxious to touch Abel in this regard.

But clearly Wexner did not dare and did not want to take best advantage of Abel in these places to spend money. Michael Levine says:

"For now, we decided to choose the third option. Because the weather forecast said the day would be clearer."

Scene 3 is in Elizabeth's back garden.

refers to the day and night of Christmas.

At the Times Square display site, more than a thousand high-capacity outdoor heaters were installed.

Heaters will blow across the runway and the models, trying to ensure the temperature on stage. Follow this plan.

There will be heating every two to three meters above, below and to the left and right of the platform.

When arriving at work, when the heater is running, it can be a bit noisy.

Regardless, music will be played on site and singers will be invited to sing.

The high-power speakers are on and loud music is playing. The noise from these heaters can also be blocked by music.

At that time, you should not cause too much noise affecting the construction site.

In fact, before that, this year New York was colder than usual.

Isa conducted several experiments in the coldest suburbs.

This plan was finally decided upon after it was found that the effectiveness of the third plan was indeed the best. The only thing to be wary of is thousands of high-powered heaters turned on together.

The power grid near Times Square may not be able to support it.

Fortunately, in capitalist countries, as long as they have money, they are willing to pay.

There are not many difficulties and no way to solve them.

Because the power grid was not strong enough, Isa contacted several electricity supply companies in New York. At that time, a new power grid will be temporarily built and large capacity generators will be on site to support.

Ensure the site's energy needs.

After discussing the general process, Abel finally felt relieved at this grand scene.

Michael Levine actually confirmed these things to him multiple times via email and phone.

But because he paid more attention to it, he came back today. Always call Michael Levine and ask.

After talking about the most important event of Isa society at the moment.

Abel and Michael Levine discuss further work at Isa.

"I think after the Issa show."

In the warm office, Abel gently said:

"To maintain Yisha Company's advantage in the same industry."

"Isha agency should add a new department to its in-house modeling agency."

Michael Levine respectfully asked, "What do you mean?"

"Elizabeth's Garden will become the garden of lingerie lovers everywhere."

Abel looked at him: "Our model must also be diverse. Asian and African models will have to be added later.

"The Newcomers department is dedicated to discovering young models with exceptional potential around the world."

"We want to capture all the best models in the world. What we want is to be the best underwear company in the world.

When he said these words, to be honest, Abel was really thinking of Elizabeth's garden.

Including a welcoming radius for new arrivals, as well as increasing the variety of designs.

It seems like Victoria's Secret, past and future, is not committed to this.

After her fame grew, she naturally attracted a large number of high-quality models from the beginning.

Later, the company's reputation gradually declined and high-quality models were no longer available. In the end, she had to follow the path of becoming an internet star.

As a result, professionalism became worse and worse, and there were no new tricks in the future.

There is also a bad economic environment.

Ultimately, its decline was as rapid and urgent as its rise.

In Abel's mind, it is difficult to invent new tricks. In terms of fresh blood, I can still think of a way.

Michael Levin thought for a moment and felt that his boss's request was not difficult to fulfill.

If you want to find someone new, Isa will do it now.

It is simply not a matter of establishing a special department.

But now the boss has said it. Of course, Michael Levine chose to accommodate this small request from his boss.

"Nothing." Michael Levine said simply: "After I return, I will establish this department immediately!"

And Michael Levine would draw a conclusion from an example, he thought for a moment and then added:

"BOSS, I think so. This new division of Yisha company can mainly be located in places like Dongwu and Asia."

"Because Western Europe and North America. The good quality and high quality of mannequins are basically followed by people."

"If we want to fly, we will spend more energy and money."

Abel nodded: "If you think so, then do as you say."

After that, the two discussed a number of topics related to Yb Smith Entertainment.

Around five thirty, it was almost dark in New York. Michael Levine quickly left.

Abel stood up in the office, walked to the window and looked out.

It was still snowing outside or a blizzard was howling.

According to weather forecasts, this snowstorm will occur intermittently and last from the 15th to the 20th.

Next, the northern part of the US East Coast. will usher in a period of relatively sunny weather.

It can only be said that Elizabeth's luck in gardening is not so bad.

In fact, on Christmas Eve there will be a blizzard of this magnitude.

Even with heating, the models on stage may not be able to stand it.

Now everything is fine. According to weather forecasts, there will be no heavy snowfall during this time.

In this case, the radiator will be able to handle it.

Next year's Isa parade, if it can be held in Times Square.

It is better not to do it in such a cold period.

After thinking, Abel asked someone to call David Mellon. After David entered, Abel said directly:

"Then Smith Capital will do two things."

"Boss, tell me!"

As soon as he heard Abel's words, David was like a wolf smelling blood.

He also believes that Abel would then launch a "bloody hunt" for Smith Capital.

This type of hunting will tire him a lot.

It's about rethinking and the sense of accomplishment that comes with being a part of it.

David can remember at least half a month at a time. "The first thing is to notify the public immediately. The second phase of Smith Capital's private placement and the third phase of the private placement will be launched at the same time."

"And increase the private placement to five billion dollars."

David Mellon nodded.

As mentioned earlier, private equity funds in the United States are businesses.

A private equity fund is the equivalent of a private equity firm.

The investment of the LP (investor) is equivalent to the investment of the company's original shareholders. Both fund companies have been established and all procedures such as registration and application have been completed.

Half a month ago, we can start fundraising at any time.

You can log in at any time, waiting for Abel to give orders.

"Second thing."

Abel thought for a moment and then said seriously: "From now on, we will start buying shares of four major investment banks in the secondary market.

"Buying shares in four major investment banks? David Mellon was surprised: "It's still on the secondary market, why?

"No reason. Do as I say." » Abel said calmly. Without hesitation, David Mellon quickly replied: "Understood!"

David speculated in his heart that perhaps fighting against four major investment banks was Abel's choice.

As for how to fight back, David is also unclear.

Buying the opponent's stocks, perhaps choosing to bulk up the opponent's shares?

It's just that if it's on the secondary market, rumors can appear as soon as the acquisition is made.

If you want to buy a large number of shares in the future, you will have to pay a significant premium. After explaining these two things, Abel decided to go home from work.

It was about six o'clock when I left the Smith building.

It was dark in New York.

Outside, the snow fell heavily, accompanied by howling wind.

In the distance are the high-rise buildings of Manhattan, their lights shining brightly in the snow. This makes Abel feel that at this time, New York already has an idea for Cyber ​​2077.

Hiding in the hot compartment, Abel gave the driver an address.

The convoy quickly disappeared in the snowstorm.

after an hour.

Abel got off the bus in front of a building in Midtown Manhattan. Go upstairs and take the elevator.

Push open the door of the apartment that occupies an entire floor.

After entering, he walked a few steps and reached the living room.

He saw in the warm living room, Liv Tyler, who had finished filming the movie "Lord of the Rings", lying lazily on the sofa.

Today, Liv is only wearing a tight T-shirt, her long, slender legs are straight, her hair is loose, she is leaning her head on the pillow watching TV, revealing a bored mood. The player plays the role of a fairy princess who is very ambitious and has a plan for her work.

But people who don't have a plan for their own life.

She likes to make important decisions on a whim but feels bored most of the time.

Seeing Abel enter, Liv Tyler, who had not been warned by him, was stunned for a moment.

Then she yelled "Yes" and jumped out of her chair!

"I thought you would forget me!"

Gently complaining, this Hollywood beauty who was 1.8 meters tall but had a slimmer figure than Ikana suddenly rushed towards Abel. Luckily, Abel was taller and stronger than her, so he easily grabbed Liv Taylor and placed his hand on her plump peach.

He smiled and said, "It's just that I've been so busy lately." And our conversation continued.

Liv Tyler chose to believe her story.

Check out American newspapers and American TV news during these two months!

The first is Mad Smith month, which is October.

Then November, from the end of November. This man is massaging himself.

Become the sixteenth banker of the United States!

Many people have not been able to do something for more than ten years, even a lifetime.

He did that for two months.

There are still many pieces left!

In this case, he said he was busy.

What else could Liv Tyler do? Are you going to say he lied and really forgot about her, Liv Tyler?

Liv doesn't want that to happen.

Even if the actual situation is like that.

So she didn't dare say it.

The two kissed for a while. Liv Tyler begins helping Abe by taking off his jacket.

Soon in the warm room, Abel was wearing only a white short-sleeved T-shirt.

He put his arm around Liv Tyler's shoulder, smiled and said: "It's cold outside, I want to take a shower. After I shower, I'll go eat something."

Liv has already showered.

But seeing him say that now, she rolled her eyes seductively and quickly said: "Okay, then I'll prepare some clothes for you!"

A moment later, she took out two loose dresses from the room. Abel glanced at it, wasn't this just a "Lord of the Rings" costume?

Then I guess I'll be able to cosplay again.

he told him.

Then wash it yourself and it will come off after washing.

Then you can taste Princess Arwen again. Thinking so, he walked into the bathroom himself.

Waiting for Abel to come out of the bathroom after showering, he dried his wet hair.

The one who greeted him was Princess Arwen wearing a different elf outfit.

So what else is there to say?

Abel is of course happy to continue playing the role of Great Demon King Sauron. Early in the morning, while brushing his teeth, Abel looked speechless at the princess spirit sitting next to the toilet urinating.

Well, he's used to it.

These goddesses I have experienced.

Aside from Ikana, who paid close attention to these details, the others really didn't care.

Hearing the buzzing sound, Abel quickly finished brushing his teeth, washed his face, then left the bathroom to find Liv. I ate breakfast prepared by a Michelin star chef.

At eight o'clock in the morning, Abel walked through the apartment door.

Last night in New York there was a snowstorm almost all night, today it finally stopped.

Unfortunately, the sky is still overcast, it is estimated that it will rain in the afternoon.

Wealthy New York City also began sending large numbers of snowplows to clear snow from the streets. Weather like this is actually more suitable for sleeping with a beauty at home.

However, many people in New York learned about his return yesterday.

You can't favor one person over another, so Abel had to get up early and quickly go to 40th Wall Street by car.

Ted Lener and his daughter first welcomed Abel at the Lerner family home, on the top floor of the Ted Lener building.

It must be said that Ted Lener's aesthetic sense is difficult to describe. These newspapers say that Ted Lener is a "desert chief thrown in the wrong direction" and they are absolutely right.

This guy's aesthetic in many places is really no different from the desert.

Many places in his house are plated with gold.

Stepping through the door, Ikana smiled.

Abel ignored Ted Lena and directly "kissed good morning" to his daughter. The corner of the old man's eye that was looking to the side twitched.

I wanted to say something but in the end Ted Lener said nothing.

Then the three of them went to the small conference room at Ted Lena's house.

When entering the meeting room, Ted Lener said to his daughter who was being held by Abel:

"Ikana, you understand these things too. What if you explained them to him?

Ikana also thinks that being too intimate with Abel at home is not good. She smiled and escaped from Abel's arms and stood before her father, the most important man.

The lights in the meeting room have been turned off, the projector and curtains are ready.

The light is projected by the projector and projected onto the screen.

A map of Manhattan suddenly appeared on the screen.

Facing Abel's eyes, Ikana spoke eloquently:

"Look here, honey ~ The locations marked on this map are places we think are suitable for demolition and where you can build your new Manhattan headquarters!"
